STANDARD AND EXPRESS. CARTERRVILLE, GA., FEB. 29, 1872. mr Reading matter on every poge Our Job Press.— We are due our patrons an apology for keeping them out of their Cards, Bill and Letter Heads, Circulars, Ac., so long. We contracted with the Cincinnati Type Foundry Company to put us up a job press, which was to have been finish ed by the 15th of January’ last. On or soon after that time they wrote us, in answer to our enquiry, that it was done, and would be shipped on re ceipt of the money. The money was sent forthwith, the receipt of whieh was duly acknowledged by them, and three presses, in part consideration of the new one, was duly fonvarded, by us, to them together with the R. R. Agent’s receipt of shipment. Again they wrote us, the first of last week, that the press in question would be completed by the following Wednes day, (21st), since which time we have had nothing further from it. We re quested it to be shipped by express. NVe have been anxiously awaiting its arrival for a month, going to the de pot every day, Sundays excepted, to witness its arrival. Job work has ac cumulated until we are a month be hind with that branch of our busi ness, and still we have no tidings of the press up to the present writing.— Somebody, or company, or both, are acting in bad faith towards us. Memphis has anew paper tallied the Tablet. The next Georgia State Fair will be held in Atlanta. Tim cxplooion of a boiler ai a saw mill near Dalton, on the 21st., re sulted in the death of four men, and severely scalding several others. After a farcical trial before the U. 8. Commissioner, the Polk county Ku-klux were discharged, on Tuesday last. The Richmond Whig says the Tredegar Iron Company pays out monthly as wage's $90,000 or one mil lion dollars per annum. Within the past two months oyer one hundred and fifty mules, av eraging $l4O, have been sold at Rome Ga. Tennessee lias the sum of $1,317,- 356 60 invested in Turnpike Roads throughout the State. Messrs. W. 11. Williams A Cos., fre quently ship from Bristol over three hundred dozen partridges per day. The Bum of $19,607 has been sub scribed at Nashville towards rebuild ing the Methodist Publishing House. One hundred thousand feet of long leaf pine has been shipped from Chat tanooga to Cleveland, (>hio, for build ing the Lunatic Asylum at Newbury. Washington, February 24. Judge Davis accepts, the working men’s nomination for President. >♦! Someone “ who knows how it Is himself” says: courtship is bliss, but matrimony is blister. Revenue Changes.— Mr. Jas. At kins, at present Collector of Revenue for this District, has been appointed to succeed Bobbin the Savannah Cus tom House. If you want tu 11ml out a man's real disposition, take him when he is wet and hungry. If lie is amiable then, dry him and fill him up and you have got an angel. Henry Ward Beecher says: “It will scarcely la* denied that men are supe rior to women as men ; and that wo-, men art? immeasurably superior to men as women; while both of them together are more than a match for either of them separately.” Savannah, February 24.— Hon. Sam Barnett, of Washington, Wilkes county, was elected Secretary of the State Agricultural Society to-day. The next Convention is to be held at Griffin in August. The Convention adjourned sine die, to-day. I. W. A. Joe Ritchie, who killed the Sheriff and Deputy Sheriff of Pickens coun ty, some two years ago, is now in the neighborhood of Red Clay, some twenty miles above Dalton. He is reported to be very defiant, and says there are some half a dozen other men in North Georgia that he intends to kill. The Dalton Citizen thinks he is a dangerous man to be running loose, and mentions its belief that SSOO re ward was offered for him some time ftifo. A bill has been introduced in the New York Legislature regulating freight on railroads, which proposes two restrictions on charges: 1. Win ter freights shall not exceed, by more -than twenty-five per cent., those ex acted in summer. 2. No more shall be charged for carrying freight part of the length of a railroad than the whole distance. The white people of South Carolina are in a fair way of being drained of all their property in the shape of tax ation by the Radical party of that State. Three tax measures are now before the Legislature, which, in their practical working, would amount to nothing less than open con fiscation. Important Decision.— The Su preme Court has made tnis decision: “ Where a factor makes advances to a planter, and takes a lien upon the growing crops under Revised Code, section 1,977, such advances are in the nature of purchase money, and the lien is, therefore, superior to the wife’s title, where the crop was set apart to her as personalty under the home stead laws, after it was made.” It is reported that the Italian gov ernment is in communication with the other governments of Europe to secure a convention for the protection of birds. For this purpose it is pro posed that each nation shall adopt the law of Austria, which makes it a crime to rob nests either of eggs or young birds. It is urged that the co operation of the different countries is necessary to prevent the extermina tion of the warblers. This thing of killing the merry lit tle warblers, simply for sport; is wick ed and inhuman, and ought-to be the subject of State and National legisla tion. What would a country be with out them ? How sweet to hear these little messengers of good will, we come the returning seasons, with songs of happy greeting. MR. HILL’S SPEECH. We have read the speech of this distinguished gentleman with great pleasure, as everything which comes from him is ever sure to command attention. It appears in the Consti tution of the 24th, and is an elaborate presentation of his political course, and a defence of himself and his po litical affiliations. We have never sought occasion to find fault cause lessly with Mr. Hill, but on the con trary have been a warm admirer of the course which he has pursued in many jiarticulars, with here and there an exception. The gpeoch is able, and, bating much that is errone ous, will lx? read with pleasure by all who may see it, though they may not agree with him in his positions or conclusions. Mr. Hill is not only a great speak er, but evidently is one of our tx«t thinkers; and while it Ls not to be ex pected that everything he says will meet with endorsement, yet there is much that is deserving of the gravest consideration. No man tan—nay, no man ought always, to adhere to the same political course. Circumstances arise, which, while they may not de stroy a principle, yet require and de mand a departure from preconceived resolves. We are not ready to pro nounce a man traitor to party or to principle who may choose such a course for himself, but on the contra ry believe that the highest duty and the greatest political wisdom may de mand it. What we may insist upon to-day, we may properly resign to morrow. The spirit of intolerance upon which he so eloquently and with great personal feeling discourses, has been the fruitful source of much evil to the country, and the earnestness with which he implores its ment by every friend of the country, should meet with a large and hearty response. As before stated, there is much, very much, in this speech with which we heartily agree. There are other things, however, which meet with our protest. But whatever of fault we might find we can never forget, and it is with a sort of proud satisfac tion that we remember, and we say it, to his credit, that when in the hour of our darkest trial, all other hands were still and all other voices hushed, he, and he only, had the ability and the courage to come for ward in defence of the down-trodden South and his native Georgia, and gave to the world his celebrated “ notes on the situation,” which not only inspired hope in her fainting breast and made glad the hearts of her people, but which for great truths and powerful logic and brave decla ration of the rights of the people, under the law and the constitution, were republished in Northern States, and gave the first impetus to the flagging energies of the Democratic party throughout the Union, inspiring them to make yet further and un ceasing efforts to save the country from tlie vortex of Radicalism, which im periled its liberties. Mr. Hill has this honor, and it is his, and he richly deserves it. Ile proved himself then, a bold, brave, and unconquerable patriot, a man of nerve, of heart and truth, and love of truth, and of his country. If errors mark his course since then, we can only think of them with re gret, while we remember his past with gratitude and delight. We thanked him in person for his noble efforts, then; we thank him in our heart even now. 29,000 Lbs. Clear Sides will be sold to farmers for approved paper or lien on Crops, payable Ist of November, 1872. J. J. HOWARD. Cartersville, Ga., Feb. 29—3 t. Dll. WM. P. HARRISON. The Baltimore Episcopal Metho dist, of the 24th inst., announces that Dr. Win. P. Harrison, of Georgia, lias become associated with the edi torial management of that paper. It will be remembered that this culti vated and deservedly popular and able minister of the Methodist Church in Georgia, was lately the editor-in chief of the New Monthly Magazine, which, fora time, under his manage ment and auspices, gave such flatter ing promises of large success, but which like almost all of our other Southern magazines, has not only disappointed its hopeful beginings, but is now numbered with the dead past. It was owing to no lack of en ergy on the part of its distinguished editor that it met with such calami tous fate, but seemed to follow in the footsteps of other literary efforts of the South, from causes into which it is not our purpose to enquire at pres ent. We are glad that Dr. Harrison now occupies a position in which his really marked ability may find an appropriate field for doing good, in which it may not only exercise itself for the public weal, but attract that attention which lie so eminently deserves. As associate editor of the Metho dist, we believe he will wield an in fluence, which will not only serve to enlarge its already extended circula tion and add increased value to its roll of able articles, but that here his extensive learning and acknow lodged power will have space more worthy of its efforts than the Review which he has left, could, under any circum stances, ever have offered. We con gratulate the paper upon its new ac cession of deecided strength, the Doctor upon the new field of labour upon which he has just entered, and ourselves and the readers of the Methodist at large, upon the feast of good things which we have the promise of having laid before us. SOUTHERN METHODIST MISSIONARY DEBT. We rejoice to seC that the old debt due by the Board of Foreign Missions of the Southern Methodist Church to Dr. Carlton and Porter, agents of the Northern ‘.Methodist Book Coneern, by reason of their en dorsement of Southern letters of credit drawn on Brown, Shipley & Cos., of London, and amounting to the sum of $35,212, principal and in terest, has been entirely paid off and discharged. This debt was created in the year 1859 and 1860, and but for the intervention of the war, and the prostration of Southern interests and the destruction of property, would have long since been paid. Dr. Carl ton honored and paid off the debt due by us, and just so soon as the war ended the Southern Church proclaim ed the debt “to be one of honor, and that it should be paid.” Eleven thousand dollars raised for its extin guishment was unfortunately lost by Smithson, but the Church, nothing daunted, has come forward and paid off the last dollar of the claim, which, including the loss, makes the sum of $50,000. THE PACIFIC RAILROAD. The Pacific Railroad has been blocked and blockaded by snow for weeks and weeks, and as to that mat ter, for months, too. All previous precautions against the snow have proved of no avail, and hundreds upon hundreds of cars, both freight and passenger, have been detained to the serious detainment of business and endangering the lives of the pas sengers. Cars of all sorts going both ways have been stopped, while the snow king has reigned triumphant. We do not know whether it is true, but it is said that the road is only en tirely reliable for transportation for three months of the year. At all events it Ls pretty clear from the ex perience of the past, that the road must prove a failure, and a more Southern, safe, pleasant, and expe ditions route established. The thing is inevitable. Tom Scott has already abandoned it, and is looking further South for his railroad ventures. So be it. The news generally states that the excitement upon the Alabama ques tion, both in England and America is subsiding, and the probabilities are, that the whole matter will meet with a diplomatic solution. There is lit tle or no fear of war entertained, nor was there ever on our part of any such foolish and damaging issue upon ques tions which it only needs a little com mon sense and common honesty to settle peacefully and honorably. Jonathan always goes in for all he can get, and if John Bull will not ac cede to his demands, will he content with a less sum. The N Y. Times (a Grant organ) says “if the Alabama differences are not settled before the next election it will not be his (Grant’s) fault.” The Georgia Agricultural Society held its usual annual meeting at Sa vannah on Thursday last, the 22d. Gen. Colquitt, the President in the Chair, with about three hundred del egates in attendance. The meeting was addressed by Gen. Colquitt, Col. Barnett and others on various Agri cultural topics, which came before it for discussion. The body is said to he composed of intelligent gentlemen from all portions of the State, and well ]>osted in reference to the com mercial, agricultural, mineral and manufacturing interests of the State. The next convention is to be held at the city of Griffin, and the next fair at the city of Col. Barnett of Wilkes county, we understand, was elected Secretary, vice D. W. Lewis, resigned. Important to Justices of tiie Peace.— The following act of the General Assembly, approved Decem ber 12th, 1871, will be found of impor tance to the various Justices of the Peace throughout the country: Section 1. Provides that Justices of the Peace and Notaries Public, who are ex officio Justices of the Peace, shall keep separate dockets of all causes, civil and criminal, disposed of by them, the actual disposition of each cause and the amounts of costs col lected, and from whom. Section 2. Provides that these offi cers, shall lay their dockets before the Grand Juries of their respective coun ties, the first day of eacn session for their inspection. ... r x iovmes, mat a failure to do so, shall he deemed a crime, for which these officers shall he indicted, and the trial of their cases shall have precedence over all other cases, civil or criminal, and if convicted shall be punished by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars, six months in jail or both in the discretion of the Court, or to work in the chain gang twelve months as the Court may determine. (COMMUNICATED.) Messieurs Long Noses “ Who strukc Beely Pattersen ? I deedn’t. Still it was a— of a gude lick.” But what’s to be done about it? Nemo says get a handful of Joana and a handful of good, fresh ashes, (not too hot) and put in your hat loose, and it won’t stink any more. You say, have a depot out of town, where it can waste its sweetness on the desert air. Folks won’t take Nemo’s prescrip tion. They’d reether have bricks in their hats. But Joseph might build you a depot outside of the city, and if the city keeps growing that far, will pull up stakes and build another, or lie might be persuaded to move the present bricks of this depot to Bobrogersville, for instance, a leetle higher up, and leave Cartersville here. Let’s try him. Jo can do any thing. But Bobrogersville is only 3 miles off, and soon the weather will be warm and if Joana keeps trotting along on the ears for some weeks, hence daily, as it has done, it will be so hot we shall have our doors open, and if the wind blows this way we shall smell it anyhow. We can smell it now in our office 200 yards from the depot, through our brick walls and glass doors. No odds, cold weather and stiff breezes blowing the other way; have done it and bragged about it. We intend to buy ten tons of Joana, if we plant any cotton on our farms 28 off in the country; but still think it ought to be always in the ground. Shall order it to come by under-ground railroad and “steal it away at night.” Roads are good and bull yearlings strong. Can pull all at one load. Yours lovingly, Smell- Million. P. S.—When we clean out and sweeten up Cartersville, we shall turn our attention to Marietta, At lanta and Augusta, and other small depots, to be cleaned out by legisla tion. See “ Bergh on Cruelty to An imals,” page 101169, 4th verse. S. M: The New York Bulletin, of the 9th, ill an editorial on “ Georgia Fi nances,” says: “When we stated that there is a ‘ “ ring” ’ behind th® Investigating Committee, we knew what we were saying. We know that one of the officials at Atlanta, promi nently connected with the finances, has, within a brief period stated it to be the purpose of him and his friends to ‘ “ break down Georgia Securities to the lowest possible figures ,” ’ and when, where and to whom this state ment was made.” We put but little confidence in the above statement, but if such is the case, as the editor of that paper so positively asserts, the sooner the peo ple know it the better. Mayor Huff, of Macon, has appoint ed Hon. Thomas Hardeman, Col. L. N. Whittle, and Col. John B. Weems a committee to visit Washington in the interest of the Atlantic and Great Western Canal. [From the Savannah News. Washington, Feb. 25, 1872. In consequence of the feet that Gen eral Longstreet took sides with the Warmouth faction during the recent unpleasantness in New Orleans, the President has decided to remove that functionary from the office of Survey or of that port. Collector Casey and Marshal Pack ard are both here with a list of Fiier al officers in Louisiana, whose official heads will be taken off as fast as new men can be selected to fill the vacan cies. The Administration has determined that treason to party, which means treason to Grant, cannot be permitted among men holding appointments by the grace of Ulysses. Forney is here charged with the mission of effecting a reconciliation between Grant anti the disaffected Republican members. Forney dined with Sumner to-night. There Ls no doubt but that Grant and Forney have made a bargain over the Pennsylvania Seuatorship—G rant promising the aid of the Administra tion to elect Forney in Cameron’s place, while Forney throws all his in fluence in favor of Grant’s re-nomiua tion and re-election. Representative Bigby, of Georgia, made a three column speech in the House yesterday trying to prove that Bullock’s administration was strictly an honest one, and that it did no harm to the people. Seminole. The matter of the State Fair has been settled in favor of Atlanta under the contract with the State Agricult ural Society. Mayor James and Col onel I. W. Avery, of the Constitution came to the Convention bv authority of the Atlanta City Council to repre sent Atlanta’s interest, with the offi cial statement that Atlanta was ready to furnish the grounds, etc., in con formity with the conditions of the contract. On last Friday night Hon. Alexander E. Atkinson, of Cobb, ad dressed a large audience in Savannah on the subject of “ Direct Trade and Immigration.” Colonel Frank Schal ler, of Athens, and Alderman Schwarz, of Savannah, also addressed the meeting. —Savannah News. A subscriber near Kenuesaw, in Cobb county, sends the Marietta Journal the following intelligence: “On Friday evening, the 16th in stant, there was a terrible tornado visited our neighborhood, commenc ing on the property of Mr. P. Chalk er, going a north-easterly direction ; passing through the property of J. W. Hill, Esq., thence through the prop erty of Major George Roberts. So far as I have heard, its track was entire ly in the woods, not passing near any buildings. I think it was about four or five hundred feet wide. The tim ber was literally torn up by the roots, or twisted off at the ground, leaving scarcely a bush standing. Old logs were shattered up and hurled into heaps. Old soldiers living in the neighborhood say the waste and con fusion was more terrible than the battle of Chickamauga or Gettys burg.” Rev. G. T. Geotchius, the Pastor of the Persby terian Church in Albany has just returned from Athens with his bride, Miss Scudder, to whom he was recently married. The Alba nians with commendable generosity and delicacy, went to work in his absence and supplied his chamber wtth a complete and elegant set of furniture. —Telegraph and Messenger. Washington. A large number of bills removing political disabilities were introduced, in the House, which, at the sugges tion of the speaker, were included in one bill and all passed without read ing names, by a vote of 115 to 113. General Young sent up a bill re moving disabilities from 3,624 persons, which was taken up and passed with out reading the bill or a call for the yeas and nays. The bill repealingJh i^ T «Al° served fruits, vegetables, meats, etc., as enumerated on schedule C., passed. Ga. Agricultural Convention at Savannah. The following is the Executive Committee of the State Agricultural Society for 1872: First District—Wm. Schley, Vice President; IT. D. Capers, A. P. Wright, J. M. Stubbs. Second District —D. A. Vason, Vice President; John Corley, G. M. Stokes, James K. Barnum. Third District —R. J. Redding, Vice President; J. M. Mobley, J. A. L. Lee, Janies H. Fannin. Fourth District—L. F. Livingston, Vice President; B. F. Ward, John Jones, Jame S. Lawton. Fifth District—Samuel Barnett, Vice President; T. J. Smith, L. C. Warren, Pope Barrow. Sixth District—Dr. R. D. Moore, Vice President; JamesS. Hamilton, J. N. Montgomery, It. D. Winn. Seventh District —C. W. Howard, Vice President; Wm. Phillips, Geo. S. Black, R. M. Young. A report was read on the mineral resources of upper Georgia, by Colo nel Crawford, on the third day—a good article. Captain Holt, of Macon, introduced an admirable resolution, which was passed, asking the Comptroller Gen eral to gather and publish the statis tics about the crop acreage of Geor gia. A variety of umimportant matters were discussed. The Convention adjourned sine die 11 j o’clock to jamboree down the riv er. The Agricultural Convention au thorized a committee of seven, with Col. R. A. Crawford as Chairman, to examine the mineral resources of the State. The Chair appointed Col. Crawford, Messrs. W. G. Atkinson, Jones of Atlanta, Huff of Macon, E. Steadman of Newton, G. W. Adams of Monroe, A. S. Atkinson of Paul ding, and J. A. McMillen of Mont gomery, as said committee. Joseph Gillott, whose name is so widely known in connection with the manufacture of steel pens, died re cently in England, at the age of sev enty-two. He was born at Sheffield, England, October 11, 1799, and re moved to Birmingham at the age of twenty. It was some time after his removal to that place that the first steel pens M ere made; the idea pre sented itself to Mr. Gillott’s mind as of great importance, and, by his in ventive talent and mechanical skill, he, it may be said, built up anew trade. The Graham Street (or Victo ria) Works of his establishment were built about thirty years ago, and have long been regarded a chief Birming ham sight. How much the world owes to Mr. Gillott for convenience in the production of writing, it would be difficult to estimate. Another Injunction Case. A\ e learn that Henry Clews Cos. have, by their attorneys, filed a bill before Judge Erskine, of the United Stater- District Court, to enjoin John W. Wofford from using the Cherokee Railroad in this county, and the Sher iff of Polk county from selling the Polk county portion. The case will come up for a hearing before Judge Erskine on next Saturday. Xep Advertisements. F. HI, RICHARDSON, DEALER IN STOVES, CRATES, HOUSE-FURNISHING GOODS, OI’FKRRD, TIN WARE, Cbc, Cor.
