THE STANDARD & EXPRESS S. 11. SMITH & CO., Proprietors. CARTEBSVILg. GA, WMABY 13.1873. ‘*J. N.,” postpones his lecture, in this city, until Friday night, the 28th of Februrary, 1873, at the City Hall, when he will “lift the veil.” THE STATE ROAD. For thetast week or two this Road has been in constant trouble. Collis ions and run offs have been the order of the day, w ith now and then the falling in or washing away of a bridge, 't he mails are delayed, and freight and passengers put out of time, very much to public inconven ience. The road bed itself is in bud order, beiug more uneven, and as we think, less safe than it has been for some time. The very great severity of the Winter, and the immense a mount of traffic on the road, may, in a very great measure, account for the accidents which so continually startle the public, and yet we can but think that it must be in some considerable measure, attributable to negligence, or carlessness, on the part of the ope ratives, or its authorities, or both. For h»!ih time it has been considered <langcM>us to ride on the road, but as this is the only mode of conveyance offered to this portion of the country, men of business have to take the chances, and “go it blind.” Now that Gov. Brown has come back from his Cuban expedition, we hope to see a return to the old safe and expe ditious way of bobbing along on the road. It will be better for the trav eller, and pay better too to the Les sees. THE BOND QUESTION. This whole matter, so deeply in volving the interests of the people of Georgia and the good name of the .State, underwent, last year, a most thorough and faithful investigation, both on the part of the press, our most prominent and intelligent citi zens, and the Legislature of the State, when it was solemnly determined that in no event would Georgia sub mit to be defrauded in the payment of illegal bonds in the hands of fraud ulent holders, but that whenever, in any case, she was honestly indebted, the obligation should be discharged to the last dollar. It was thought that this decision, so made, would be final, and put an end'to’the whole matter. But the bond holders, with the voracity of the horse leach, cling to every shadow of a hope for the fi nal success of their claims against the State, and are now beseiging the Leg islature, in every possible way, for the furtherance of their views. We understand, too, that some impres sion has been made by them in quar ters not expected, and that a public sentiment is said to be growing at Atlanta favorable to their schemes. All we have to say, just now, is, that we trust and believe that there is vir tue and intelligence sufficient in the Legislature to overthrow this persist ent attempt upon the Treasury and labor of our people, and that any leg islator or public man who shall favor tms course,- may Hereafter looK Tor countenance and support from the bond holder if he will, but not from the people of Georgia. The case is a clear one. If we owe one dollar, or millions, justly, let us pay it, to the last cent, if the claims are unjust and illegal, let us close the debate, and. abide by our decision already made. EDITORIAL CORRESPOND ENCE. Willard’s Hotel, j Washington, D. C., February 6th, 1873 ) IN THE LOUISIANA “INVESTIGAT ING COMMITTEE ROOM.” At the head of a long table in the center of the room sits Senator Mor ton, of Indiana; Chairman of the Committee. Morton has a decidedly vulgar face; a complexion about mid way between olive and green, a pug nose, showing arrested developement, and a dull muddyish eye; a very large head well formed, slightly bald, carelessly stuck upon his neck, nev ertheless shows him to be a man of great intellectual power. On the right of the chairman sits Lyman Trumbull, of Illinoise, a man of ordi nary size, of small well-perched head, prominent grey eyes, and a face devel oping much culture and great affa bility. Trumbull is the very ideal of a great lawyer. Asa lawyer he has probably not an equal in the Sen ate, except Thurman, of Ohio. In this “investigating” business it is easy to see that Morton and Trum bull are pitted against each other. When a witness speaks of “Injunc tions backed up by the military Trum bull becomes very earnest, pointed and powerful. It is generally thought here that the committee will report “no legal government in Louisiana,” and recommend anew election; -but from what I have seen in the com mittee room I am confident that Morton, with the majority of the qommittee, will report favorably to Pinchback, while Trumbull will make a minority report in favor of Warmouth. In this event Trum bull’s speech on the occasion may be looked forward to as one of the great est in our history. WARMOUTH AND PINCHBACK. Oh Trumbull’s right, leaning very far back in his chair, his head reared back and resting upon his hands lock <?d behind it, sits a young looking man, apparently not more than twen ty-five, of fine well-shaped head and face, piercing grey eyes, very tall, spare, and straight, great mustache, and greater impudence. There is nothing vulgar, nothing low or mean about the man, but it needs but a glance of his fierce, flashing eye tp tell you that he is not a man that would hesitate a moment to remove any thing that he considered in his way. Yet there is a kind of attraction a bout his eye, even a sort of fierce fas cination, and you cannot help but admire him, if only for his magniffl cent audacity. I need hardly add that this man is the notorious Gov ernor Warmouth. At the foot of the table, cigar in mouth, is a young, handsome looking, well dressed, bright mulatto; this is “Gevernor” Pinchback. Pinchback is evidently a man of some education, a good deal of brains, and a good deal more of shrewdness, but he cowers before Warmouth. SENATOR NORWOOD, I made the acquaintance of our Senator, Hon. Thomas M. Norwood, last Monday. He had just succeeded in getting ihrough the Senate a bill introduced in the House by General Young, appropriating SIIO,OOO for public buildings in Atlanta. I have been very favorably impressed with the Senator. He says that we need “working” Congressmen, not “speak ing” ones; and to this conviction, that he could thus best serve the in terests of the State, may be attribu ted the quiet course which he has pur sued. He will accept our thanks for many courtesies. GENERAL YOUNG. If any man in his district doubts that Gen. Young is the right man in the right place, let him come here and spend a few days, and he will no longer doubt. He is universally considered here, not only as the head of the Georgia delegation, but as one of the very best members of the House. Naturally of very fine ad dress, and great personal magnetism, he has taken pains to make himself immensely popular, thereby acquir ing influence in the House, in the Senate, and in the lobby, all of which he uses for the advancement of his district and State. Just here I may mention the fact that it was General Young who, two years ago, introduc ed a bill appropriating $300,000 for a public building in Atlanty, rightly calculating that the committee w’ould recommend about $200,000. The com mittee did so recommend, but Red head Bigby said that SIOO,OOO was enough, and the bill was so amended arid passed the House. When the bill came before the Senate commit tee, General Young urged, and ob tained an amendment granting $lO,- 000 additional, and it was so passed by the Senate. I may barely men tion, in passing, that Simon Came ron, by virtue of his connection with the State Road, has some interest even in the prosperity of Atlanta, lie is a member of that committee. While I am speaking of Gen. Young, I may also mention that, not only has he gotten this appropriation for Atlanta, but he has gotten appropria tions for cleaning out the Oostanaula, Coosa, and other rivers, and that he has gotten the political disabilities removed from more Southern citizens than any Congressman whatever. THE PRESIDENT. On yesterday your correspondent, with Gen. Young, paid his respects to President Grant. Your pardon, but 1 would rather see any man for ten minutes, than to read the sayings of ten thousand, or any other large number, of newspapers'concerning him. Your readers have heard much of the stolidity, drunkenness, horse talk, and bull puppery, of General Grant. Now it ocmu.«t bo wrong to tell the truth, and the truth is that all this that they have been accus tomed to hear is simply a pack of lies, equally as objectionable, wheth er considered in the light of morality, or of dignity and good taste. In the first place, Gen. Grant is a thorough ly well bred gentleman; in the se cond place, he is a man of good cul ture and considerable learning; and in the next place, he is certainly a man of great will and purpose; final ly, he is a man of as large a brain as any man now living in this country, or that has lived here in a considera ble while. No fair-minded man can doubt for an instant that Gen. Grant, as pronounced by Alexander Ste phens, a most sagacious and profound judge of character, “is one of the most extraordinary men of this age.” It may not be too much to say that, in the light of historical truth Gen. Grant will be a very different person age froip what our people have been taught to consider him. By the way, it is said here now, that he is to be more popular at the South pretty soon than some people dream of.— Gen. Grant said he was in favor of the great Western canal; that he was always in favor of internal improve ments by the general Government; that before the war he was an old line whig, though he never had a chance of voting the ticket but once, and then he. voted for Buchanan; that he voted for Buchanan under protest, and only did it to defeat Fre mont. A PAIR OF GLOVES. In the model room of the Patent Office, in a case just opposite the main entrance, hangs a pair of gloves, with a label attached, on which is printed the words following, to wit: “This pair of gloves, made, as ap pears from the annexed letter, by Mr. Wm. Baker, of New York City, for the late President, Abra ham Lincoln, were only received in this City after his lamented death, and are now deposited in the Patent Office by direction of the Secretary of the Interior, Asa fit Memento of the Unsullied Hands for WHICH THEY WERE INTENDED.” God forgive me if I am illiberal or uncharitable, but somehow this thing looks mightily like a shrewd adver tisement of that yankee’s glove house. T. Just at the conclusion .of a recent circus performance in a North Caro lina town, the clown stepped forward and informed the vast assembly that they had taken in about S6OO that day—more money, he ventured to say, than any minister of the gospel in that .county would receive for a year’s service. He then plainly told them that a large portion of the audi ence were church members who plead their poverty when asked for money to support the gospel, and severely exposed their inconsistency. A few Sundays after, he preached in the same community, and made a strong appeal for missions, when a collec tion was taken up amounting to .$438. NEWS IN GENERAL. Photographs of the dead Napoleon cannot be seld in Paris. The Immortal **J. N.” has nine hundred and sixty engagements to “lift the veil” in this State. Commodore Maury died last week at the age of 68. Dr. Louis 11. Orme died in Atlanta on the 3d. Hon. James L. Orr, Minister to Russia, has sailed from New York. The census shows that there are 269,000 slaves in Cuba. The Republicans of Georgia are urging Col. Wm. Markham for Gov ernor of Dakotah. The family of Wm. L.

To repeal all laws giving mer chants, factors, etc., a prior lien on the crops of planters. Lost. GOV. GEARY DEAD. Harrisburg, Pa., February B. Gov. Geary died suddenly this morn ing. The purchase of the Cuban cable by the Western Union Company pre vented its falling into the hands of the English Company. It is rumored in Atlanta that Gov. Smith has tendered Hon. B. H. Hill the appointment on the Supreme Bench. We are indebted to Hon. T. M. Norwood for copies of several Con gressional documents, for which we make our acknowledments. And now comes one Aaron Crow of Clarke County, Ga., who says that he made 900 lbs. of lint cotton on one acre of ground last year. A bill has passed to allow the At lanta National Bank to settle with depositors. Also, to incorporate the Southern Land and Immigration Company. From the Savannah News we learn that “the bill. prohibiting fishing and hunting on Sunday by Dußose passed.“ All others may enjoy the pleasure, we presume. The Spartanburg and Union Rail road was sold at Union C. H. last Monday, and was purchased by representatives of the Air Line Rail road for $308,000. It is suggested that the City Coun cil of Atlanta exchange the City Hall square with the State for the Capitol building, with a view to the erection of a permanent State House on the square. Mr. Chapman, of Cartersville has taking a contract to rebuild the burnt block in Forsyth. Among the other buildings there will be a commodi ous hotel— Savannah -N cwo. The biggest single measure before the Legislature, says the Constitu tion, is a bill to give five millions of dollars of State aid to the Atlantic and Gulf Railroad to extend it 165 miles from Bainbridge to Pollard, Alabama. It is proposed to tunnel the Ohio and Mississippi rivers near their junc tion, in order to facilitate railway movements. A company for that purpose has been formed, with a cap ital of $10,000,000, and has applied to Congress for an act of incorporation. About seven thousand acres cleared of timber each week-day in this country. Os the annual crop seventy five millions of dollars’ worth goes to fuel, and twice as much to fencing. The locomotives in this country consume no less than seven hundred thousand cords a year. Cartersville is continually trying to outshine her rival. She now boasts of an efficient restaurant keep er named Bogle, who is also adver tised as “a gentleman of Christian in tegrity.” Will some other town rise and give in her experience ?—Savan nah News. A Philadelphia manufacturer is preparing a plan for a column one thousand feet high, to be constructed entirely of iron, in open work, from the submit of which the grounds of the Centennial Exposition are to be illuminated by means of a Drum mond light. If adopted, it will be the loftiest monument in the world. The special order being the bill to prevent and punish certain unlawful acts of violence, by parties conspiring together and going in disguise, was taken up. It provides that the pun ishment shall not be leas than one year in the penitentiary. Passed— yeas, 24; nays, 13. When Lee met Meade on the Palm Sunday of 1865 near Appomat tox Court-House, he said with tri vialty so common amid crushing mis fortune, “Why, Meade, what are you doing with gray in your beard?” “You have had a good deal to do with it,” retorted his conqueror with a short laugh. The Saints to be Reconstruct ed. —Forney’s Press says General Grant thinks that the time has come for Congress to legislate in earnest against the Mormon usurpations in Utah, and will urge immediate action. The condition of affairs, moral and political, grow worse in the territory daily. The Governor has pardoned John Vandiver and Z. W. Vandiver, who were convicted at the March term, 1872, before Judge M. Moses, at Spartanburg,of Ku Kluxing, in viola tion of the State law, and sentenced to two years in the couuty jail. These pardons were granted upon the re commendation of the presiding judge, the prosecutor and several citizens Os the county named.— Anderson Intelli gencer. WHAT “THEY” SAY GOSSIP. Mush and milk festivals are held in lowa to pay off church d*ts. The only thing that can live in fire is a live coal. George De Haven is starting a circus from Cincinnati. Jumping is the principal amuse ment in Rockmart this season. A Chattanooga chicken-coop has the following sign on it: “For sail— Chickens in the blume of yuth.” If a toper and a quart of whisly were left together which would be drank first? Why do honest ducks dip their heads under water? To liquidate their little bills. “How can we escape fire?” is the inquiry in Boston just now, to which a sacriligious “typo” replies, that the Gospel offers every encourage ment. “Mother, here is a grammatical er ror in the Bible.” “Kill it! kill it! it is the very thing that has been eating the leaves and book-marks!” A drunkard, on being told that the earth is round and turns on its axis all the time, said, “I believe that, for I’ve never been able to stand on the darned thing.” The Great Eastern Circus has just received from England sixty beauti ful banners, made by Samuel May, of Bow Street, London, to be used in its procession. A down-East editor, who has been keeping a record of big beets, an nounces that “the best beet that beat the other beet, is now beaten by a beet that beats all other beets.” “You say,” said a judge to a wit ness, “that the plaintiff resorted to an ingenious use of circumstantial evidence; state just exactly what you mean by that.” “Well,” said the wit ness, “my exact meaning is that he lied.” The Jacksonville Union states that a blooming, blushing school-girl call ed at the office the other day and in quired for “papers for a week back.” The idea suggested was that she wanted them for a panier. A man asked a servant, ‘ls your master at home?’ ‘No, he’s out.’ ‘Your mistress?’‘No, sir, she’s out, too.’—‘Well, I’lljuststep in and take a warm at the fire till they come in.’ ‘Faith, sir, and that’s out, too.” A faithful brother, says the Hawk insville Dispatch, in one of our churches prayed Sunday for the ab sent members, “who were prostrated on beds of sickness and chairs of well ness.” A good prayer that. At a trade meeting the following toast was given : ‘The printer—He beats the farmer with his hoe, the carpenter with his rule, the mason in setting up columns; he surpasses the city doctor in attending cases, and beats the parson in the management urine aervii.' A skillfull Nimrod of Wheatland, Mo., saw a rabbit run into a hollow log, and took it into his head to crawl after it- When he had got inside, the log began to roll down hill. On arriving at the bottom he was considerably bruised, and didn’t catch the rabbit after all. Josh Billings says: “Mackerel inhabit the sea generally; but those which inhabit the grocery alwus taste to me as though they had been fatted on salt. They want a deal of freshning before they’re eat’n, and always arterward. If I kin have plenty of mackerel for breakfast, I can generally make the other two meals out of water.” A. C. Bryant of Atlanta, adverti ses to give a public lecture and ex pose the mysteries of “keno,” “faro,” “bunko” and “horsehead.” A game of keno will be played in public to “show the folly of any one’s risking money on another man’s game.” This new reformer charges fifty cents admission. The following was the dispatch re ceived by the train despatcher of the Alabama and Chattanooga Railroad, who ordered the conductor of one train to remain at a station, at which there was no side track, until another train had passed: “Shall I move my train into the tank, or up a tree?” Joe wilted. A Dutchman describes an accident as follows: “ Vonce a long vile ago, I vent into mine abble orchard to clime a bear tree to get beaches to make mine vrow a blum boodin rait, aud ven I got to de toppermost branch I vail from de lowermost limb, wid one leg on both sides of de fence, and like to stove mine outsides in.” The following is from Watson, of the Macon Telegraph: A gentlemen met an average Macon boy on the street the other day, and saluted him with, “How are you, my son?” The boy shut one eye, and cocked the other at the gentleman, and said, “If I’m your son, I’ve got a d—l of a looking fellow for a father!” The gentleman “turned away in sadness and passed on.” Advertisers should be pointed and specific in the wording of their ad vertisements. The local editor of the Macon Enterprise received the fol lowing note from a gentleman who was interested in the article adver tised: Mr. Local: I see you advertise in your paper “10,000 babies at $4 50 per hundred at the Brown House Cigar Store.” What kind of babies are they—white, black, or what? I’ve been married several years, but have no babies, and I want one. We would inform Mr. Blank that the babies alluded to are “My Ba bies,” but they are a brand of cigars— and excellent ones by the way.. Gen. John B. Gordon is in Wash ington. P. H. Brewster, Local aid As. Editor. t "■ V ' ■ ■ —-■ ggg THE SEAT OF GOVERNMENT. There is a talk of restoring the seat of government back to Milledgeville. That would be well enough, but, we think, its seat has been so badly torn it would be hard to restore it ns it was. Do decent folks ever chew tobacco? Yes, they all es-chew it. - It is said that the most of thespeech es made in the S. C. Legislature, of late, have been highly colored. “What’s in a name?” If the radi cals ever run the negro, Pinch back, for president, won’t it be funny to hear them say “hurrah for Pinch back ? COTTON vs. CORN. While some of our exchanges en dorse the suggestion made by us, last week, in regard to the policy of mak ing cotton the principal crop for mar ket, in those portions of Cherokee Georgia which are inernvenient to the railroad, others again regard the advice as being of doubtful propriety, and insist that there it nothing like corn. We contend that enough of even a good thing is enough, and we think our people ought to make a plenty, not only of corn, but of every thing else that will help to make them independent; and nothing that they can plant or sow, as experience has abundantly proven, promotes that end so successfully as cotton rais ing. Much of our lands are adapted to cotton ; and we have observed that the most prosperous farmers in this section are those who roll the cotton bags into market every fall. Suceess is the proper test in every thing. The Cartersville Standard advises farmers in its section to plant only as much corn as will do for the local de mands, and “then put in every acre possible in cotton.” Other papers in the upper part Georgia give simi lar advice. This is no doubt good economy in a section of country in which corn sells for only 50 or 60 cents per bush el, and meat in proportion. But the people up there would plant more corn if they were sure of a dollar a bushel for all surplus, as our planters are. The farmers of upper Georgia will probably act as these papers advise, and will have little corn to sell. They have found out that corn is a com modity that will not bear transporta tion as cotton will. They will there fore have little corn to buy or to sell. We think that this is the true econo-’ my for all parts of the South. Let every section make its own supply of corn, and devote most of the balance of the labor to cotton. But our peo ple do not yet rai3e corn enough for this, and therefore the admonition to them to plant more corn and less cot ton is as judicious as the advice to the people of Northern Georgia to plant less corn and more cotton.—Co lumbus Enquirer. OUR NBWROAD. We had the pleasure, last week, of traveling the new road leading due east from the courthouse and inter secting with the old river road at the bend of Etowah river opposite Mr. Mansfield’s. We consider it a deci ded improvement. It is a mile near er than the old way to the Etowah Iron Works, and is « grraat Joai oa£or, 'as it is entirely away from the rail road. That part of it within the cor porate limits of the city, is a beautiful street, and contributes very much to wards giving our place a city-like appearance. The scenery all along the new road is fine, and the farther up the river you go the grander and more picturesque it becomes. We never saw any thing in Itally that surpassed it! The Cartersville Express boasts that it has subscribers in the‘‘moon.” That’s not surpris ing. It ought to have a good circulation among luna-tics. —Atlanta Herald No, we said that we sent our paper to the “moon,” which is literally true. We suppose, too, that we have some circulation among “lunatics since it seems that the Standard & Express has found its way to the of fice of the Atlanta Herald. Well, we feel it to be our duty to do all we can to enlighten the ignorant. OUR SABBATH SCHOOLS. The Sab bath Schools of our city all seem to be in a flourishing condition. The one at the Methodist church, which we generally attend, is said to be one of the very best' in Upper Georgia, and Mr. John A Erwin, its Superintendent, is justly regarded as a model officer. ~GO TO work • Complainer! hush your murmuring against fortune, fate and providence, and go to work. It will be good for your purse, and mind and heart and soul;! Labor, well directed labor, will do you good! The happiest things in nature are always busy. How industrious is the humming bird and the bee! Theirs is dainty food, and well do they deserve it. Providence, in its goodness has given us a beautiful world, and it is our duty as well as our privilege to enjoy its good things. Let each of us culti vate a vine or two, and eat the- pleas ant grape. Let us nurse the trees which bear delicious fruits, and enjoy the labor of our hands. Field, gar den, orchard, all promise us from time to time an abundance of blessings if we will work Work promotes good health, supplies our wants, en enables us to help those who cannot help themselves, and makes us and all around us blessed.
