THE STANDARD & EXPRESS. S. 11. SMITH «Sr ('()., Proprietors. J. W. HARMS, EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. CARTERSVILLE, GA.; THURSDAY. MARCH ‘2oth, 1873. THE NEWS IN GENERAL. Georgia in the only one of the, distinctly Nonlhern Staten which han doubted the value of her manufac tured products, thus keeping pace with the average developemcnt of all the Northern States. Goe. 8. Boutwell has been elected U. S. Senator from Massachusetts. There is a report that the lessees of the Georgia State Road contemplate making it a double track road. A t Rockrnart vast quantities of slate is ready for shipment.—Suvvn nah Bcpuldiean. The religious revival in the Meth odist and Baptist churches of Colum bus continues and grows. Two Congressmen have given back the extra'pay. Hoar, of Massachu setts, and Roberts, of the fifth district of New York. 'l’lse other day, the president par doned Miles Carroll, Miles McCulloch, Henry Warlick,and James A. Han ders, all South Carolina ku-kluxes so called in the Albany penitentiary. According to the Balt Lake Tri bum* there is anew party in process of formation in Utah, which will oc cupy middle ground between the ex treme Mormons and anti-Mormons. The fruit trees in the Western States have been seriously injured, and in many places totally distroyed by the extreme cold weather during the winter. Reliable ml vices from the interi or of Minnesota along the railway lines show that the quantity of wheat in the farmers’ hands is now great er than it has ever been at before this season. The growing of sugar in Australia promises to become an important in dustry there, and it is possible that this may ere long become an impor tant source of sugar supply to the world. Taylorsville, on the Cherokee rail road, is a great lumber market, and more than one hundred ear loads are piled up there* awaiting transporta tion to Atlanta. —Suxoinih Repub lican . A prope»sittion bruited by the Washington Gazette a weak or two •since to sell the State road, and with the proceeds of the sale te> relieve the financial embarrassment of the State is being actively and favorably can vassed by the country press. Georgia Bonds on the Market. Col. John Jones, the State Treasurer, advertises in an other column, $1,500,- 000 8 per cent. Georgia Bonds for sale These Bonds are exempt from State- County and City Taxes, and they afford a good chance for investment. - Some United States soldiers pass ing through Atlanta behaved in a very disorderly manner, and were put in the guard house. The officer in command threatned to attack the calaboose, hut the police stood their ground, and tho officer backed down. The “Elgin Slate Company was organized at Atlanta on Thurs day with a capital stock of $52,500. O. A. Loch rune was elected Presi dent. The company control the quar ry in Polk county, formerly owned by the Blanceville Mining Company, and will go to work at an early day, Even the staid Smith, who wields the quill of the Cartersville Standard & Express, complains of something like “Winter lingering in the lap of Spring.” It is perfectly heartrend ing to see how “terrible poetic” the village editor sometimes thinks he is. Covington Enterprise. It is understood that the Congress ional Committee on Water Commu nication is expected to meet in At lanta some time this spring for the purpose of going over the route of the proposed Western and Atlantic can al. The Chairman of the Committee is Hon. William Windom,of Minne sota. The Baltimore Methodist animal conference lias expelled Hev. J. F Clarke, lor immorality. ‘‘Baltimore, March 11, 187 E The Committice to whom the case of tlu> lit v. L. I). Huston was referred, beg leave.to report: We have come to the conclusion that the charge of immorality is unanimously sustained, and said L. D. Huston has been ex pelled from the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.” AHEAD Miss Mary Maddox, of Cedar Itidgo, in this county, has placed us under obligations for a mess of Irish potatoes, raised this year from the Early Rose variety. This i.a month or six weeks ahead of any tiling in the early potato line in this section — indeed very few hereabouts have planted their potatoes yet. We doubt if there is an Irish potato raiser in Middle or South Georgia that can beat this. If so, we would like to hear from him.— Dalton Citizen. Virginian wine may yet be as favorite a cMnmodity as Virginian tobacco, It is thought that the pro duct in Albernnule county during the coming season will not be less than 5100,000 gallons, and a movement is on foot to equip a complete wine cel lar, v, itli a capital of .820,000 and a ca pacity of turning out 60,000 gallons o wine per annum. There is no reason why the Sunny South should not be las great a wine raising section as f Southern Europe. Notwithstanding prohibitive legislation, the demand for wine and spirits is on the increase, and the South might as well furnish the commodity as the Jersey eider mills or French vineyards situated in upper New York. We call the attention of our readers to the advertisement of the Treasur er of the State, headed “Attention Capitalists,” on our third page, and particularly of all such as may have j money to loan or invest. The object* it will be perceived, is to raise mon ey formate purposes, under the act of the last Legislature, commonly known as Nutting’s Bill. By refer enee to the advertisement, it will be seen that those bonds are, by the act, relieved from State, County and Mu nicipal taxation, and are also offered at par in exchange for Shite six per cent, bonds. Appropriation is also made* for their payment and the an nual interest, in the act authorizing their issue, which is irrepealable.— Then; can be no doubt of their pay ment, together with the interest, as it falls due, while they are made in sums to suit purchasers, ranging from two hundred and fifty, to one thou sand dollars each. All persons hav ing money which they desire to loan, have here a line opportunity offered of the very best character. All you have can be loaned at once , and in such sums as will rid the lender of very much trouble. No uneasiness can be entertained about the pay ment, as the coupons will be prompt ly cashed as they fall due, as will al so all the bonds. Instead of having personal security, as in a promissory note, who may not be willing or able to pay, in the event of the failure of the principal to do so, except at the end and delay and fees of a ease in court, the State itself, with all the property of her citizens, is bound for the payment. The borrower is good. The whole amount you wish to invest may be invested at once, and the in vestment perfectly safy. It is fur better than loaning money, even at high rates of per cent., because of the certainty of payment, and all trustees, guardians, executors, or other parties holding monies, would find tins the very best place in which to invest them. The object of the bill author izing the issue of these bonds is to raise money for the State, and avoid the necessity which may otherwise be forced upon her of taxing the peo ple of Georgia to discharge the nefa rious contracts and engeagments of Bullock and Kimball. If we can and will raise the amount called for, by these bonds, we shall save the people much trouble in the future, be per fectly secure in doing so, and main tain the reputation and credit of the State. We are glad to know that many of our farmers in this county have prospered so as to have money to lend, and we can cheerfully recom mend them to lay out their cash in the purchase of the bonds advertised by the Treasurer. Let every man who can do so, buy one or more of them, lift the State out of her pecu niary difficulties, and thus prevent heavier taxation in the future. It is most desirable that they should be purchased by ihe citizens of Georgia, that we may keep our money in the State, otherwise we shall have to seek other markets for their disposition, and if a failure should be made abroad, of which there may be some apprehension, as every effort will be made by parties interested, to bring about such a result, in order, by ru ining the credit of the State, that they may succeed in carrying through tin* next Legislature the recognition and payment of the Bullock bonds, we may be compelled to submit to this hard necessity, and visit upon our people increased burthens by way of increased taxes, lor the discharge of unjust demands. Os the new' loan of £1,200,000 au thorized by the Nutting bill, the Sa vannah Advertiser says: “Upon the success of this loan, then, depends the issue whether the people of Georgia are both able and willing to restore and sustain the credit of the State, or whether the Governor will be compelled to go elsewhere for the three millions of dollars which must he raised within the next three months in order to keep up Georgia’s credit in the money markets of the world.” The Chronicle and Sentinel, on the same subject, says: “If they are successfully floated, and we believe they will be, we need fear nothing. The credit of the State will be higher than it eve* was be fore; Clews and his allies can work us no harm, and our citizens will be burdened with no increased and ono rous taxation.” WOMEN’S RIGHTS IN BOSTON. The Massachusetts House of Repre sentatives has rejected a resolution providing for an amendment to ihe Constitution, giving women tHe right to vote. This decision of the Legis lature affords some evidence, at least, that they have some common sense left, and that in the midst of all their fanaticism, they are not yet quite willing to give rein to the loose morality and miserable folly incorpo rated in this modern attempt to unsex the female population. So that the grey mare is not quite yet the better horse, at least in Massachusetts. The blue stockings may send out their lecturers, and female stump speakers can, at lecture rooms and conventions of their own bodies, deiectate them selves and their hearers with their unavailing nonsense, as of yore, but even this must sooner or later have its day, and be numbered with the vagaries of the hour, yielding to the sounder sense of an enlightened age, and a correct appreciation of the re quirements of society, and sound practical morality. The lion. Alexander 11. Stephens has sold out His interest in the Atlan ta Sun to Messrs. Willingham and others, but still retains his position as political editor of that popular and able paper. From time to time, therefore, the public may expect to hear from him through the columns of the press, while the whole country, even the frigid North, not yet quite frozen out to all public virtue and sterling merit and honesty,.congratu lates itself that the “Great Common er” is once more to appear in thu hubs of Congress. May this tittle leaven, leaven the whole Congress ional lump at Washington! Chief Justice Chase administrater ed the oath of office to the president on the 4th. THE SOLDIER AND THE BEER SELLER. The greatest hoax and the most, j transparent of all, is going the rouud | of the papers, headed “A Dead Man’s Brains Transferred to a Living Sub ject,” originally in the New York World. The story is that a Prussian soldier was condemned to death for the murder of an officer, and that a saloon keeper and b or seller having died of disease of the heart, the government authorities de livered the person of the soldier into the possession of certain surgeons for the purpose of experiment. The bo dy of the dead beer seller was laid out on one table, and the body of the liv idg soldier, highly chloroformed, was i placed upon another table by the side |of the first. The surgeons then pro ceeded to uncap the skulls, find taking the brain out of each, transferred the brain of the beer seller to the skull of the soldier, and replacing the bones and binding up the skull according to the rules of art, awaited the issue of their experiment. The wounded prate healed kindly. The patient all the time gave signs of life; remained in a sound sleep for two weeks, at the end of the third week began to talk stainmeiingly, gradually recovering the power of articulation. When speech was intelligible, it was found that the soldier had forgotten entire ly his military training and discip line, but told the prices of all the wines and beers, such as the saloon keeper had been in the habit of buy ing and selling; knew all the saloon keeper’s relatives, friends and cus tomers, and called their names, and having been, when a soldier, an ugly, taciturn and revengeful man, now he had the saloon keeper’s frankness and garrulity, and goodness of heart. He was totally blind. The question is, who is he? the saloon keeper or the soldier? himself or the beer sel ler? Who is his wife, and whose are the children? Public sentiment at Leipsic, where the experiment was performed, is divided. The Empe ror William says “ya,” and so say we. HOUSTON COUNTY. The Perry Journal states that “not withstanding the exodus of negroes to the West, our planters generally have plenty of labor, and it is only occasionally that we meet with one not fully supplied.” Just as we ex pected, in spite of the rumors that South-west Georgia was stripped of its labor. The Journal states, also, that “there are a few more vagrant negroes lying around who could be well spared.” The fact is that many of the more unreliable and less indus trious of the colored population were seduced to go West by artful agents employed for that purpose, and as is now generally known, all tl*eso4>it terly repent that they did not remain in Georgia, being destitute and friend less in a strange land, with less wa ges, and badly provided for. Some of them have returned to Georgia, and told their friends the true state of things in the West, thus putting a quietus to the Western emigration, and the outflow of labor from this, the best of all the Southern States.— Let our colored people in the future let well enough alone, and be content to remain in the land where they were born, and amongrthe only peo ple on earth who entertain for them feelings of real kindness and friend ship. All of them who are sober, honest and industrious can and do prosper here, and to give up the cer tainty of a prosperous good living for the swamps of Arkansas, the sickli est State in the Union, upon the rep resentations of unconscionable agents, never to be fulfilled or realized, is the greatest folly imaginable. Let our colored people stay at home, in the long run, the best place for both black and white. General Grant, in reply to invita tions to visit the South, says that “he has been compelled by public duties to indefinitely postpone his visit to the Southern States.” We cannot blame bis Excellecy. Perhaps he dreads to look upon the ruin he has wrought; perhaps could not calmly hear the clanking of the chains with which he has riveted the liberties of Louisiana; perhaps would not like to mingle with the sooty parvenuesof degraded Carolina. Were he welcomed by a people whose dearest rights he has aided to sacrifice at the behest of in furiated fanatics and personal ambi tion, he could not be at ease without feeling some pungent, twinge, if he still lues a soldier’s heart beating within him. lie will, perhaps, be quite as much honored in the breach, as he would have been in the observance of his declared intention to come South. By the way, did ever mortal man have as many opportunities to im mortalize a name? Was ever mortal man so prodigal of his opportunities? Even yet, he could redeem his fail ures ; and sometimes one would al most think that he will dare to do so. Tis said that lie now declares his in tention to break the radical leading strings in which he has been so long blindly bound, and have some band in the government, and that that old political sinner, Cameron, of Penn sylvania, has been snubbed by the General. Could he but break off'the shackles of a bad party and worse men; could lie but retrace his steps, and acknowledging errors and mis takes, undo his tyranny, and heroic ally resolving tobe the President of the whole people, and not of a part, beginning his reformation with Lou isiana, he might, even yet, mightily aid in bringing back the government to first principles, restore bayouetted liberties, undo much of the evil that the South is now suffering, and prove a benefactor instead of a curse to her people. But alas for us! the Philis tines are upon us, our ark in their possession, nor can we hope that it will ever be restored. POPULATION OF DALTON. From a census of Dalton, just tak en by Mr. It. Love we learn that our population numbers 2200, an increase of four hundred in about two years.— Dalton Citizen. MOVEMENT OF WESTERN FREIGHTS—THIRTY-TWO MILES OF CARS. We met a gentlemen from Chattan ooga this morning, who stated there I were drifted against that delightful snag in our railroad system to the Northwest, no less than thirty-two i mites of loaded cars waiting for the engines oft he State road to pull them off inlo Georgia and Florida. One hundred fresh arrivals are loading against the tail of the drift every day —a gain of only forty in each twen ty four hours. Speculations in regard to when the blockade would be raised, the road cleared, and freight once more allowed to come through on reasonable schedule time, were vari ous and de versified, but it was thought that if no more fresh orders are sent West matters would get tol | erable strait in the course of twenty days. —Jfucon Enti rprine. THE CHEROKEE" RAILROAD. This railroad, running from Car tersville to Hock mart, is a grand in stitution. The bridges and track have been washed away so often dur ; ing the last fall and winter that the | conductor, if he is at Rockrnart and | sees a cloud coming up, starts for j Cartersville as fast as lie can go, in order to get there before communi cation is cut off between places.— Ilawkinsville Dispatch. If old w inter has really departed we’re glad of it, and when assured that he has gone, will write his obit uary with pleasure. In another thousand years Georgia will probably become as cold as Minnesota ami A laska, but by that time perhaps some of us will be in a w armer climate and w on’t mind it. So writes the Colum bus Enquirer. As to Georgia be coming colder as time rolls on, it will be just the contrary; the climate will get warmer and in tne next thousand years, oranges will grow in Middle Georgia as luxuriantly as they now do in Florida. Italy two thousand years ago, was 100 cold to produce figs, oranges, etc., but as the forests were cut down the climate grew mild er. The more cleared a country be comes, the warmer it gets.—Sava nnah lie publican. THE DISTRIBUTION. The distribution of the Shares of the Confederate Monumental Assoc iation of Georgia will take place in this City, on the Ad of April ensuing. We trust that every man and wo man in Georgia will be represented upon our Books. This is the last chance which Geor gians and Southrons will have to u nite their offerings with those of the Mounmental Association of Georgia. L. & A. 11. McLAWS, General Agents C. M. A. Augusta, Ga., March 14, 1873. THE GEORGIA OFFICE BRO KERS IN WASHINGTON. The Atlanta Constitution of yester day a Washington special, which says: “It is said here that the office bro kerage ring, headed and run by Henry P. Farrow and company, lias exploded. “THE SENATE GETS THEM, AND WHY. “All the appointments that have been made by the President at the suggestion of this ring are locked up by the Senate. This is the conse quence of a rumor to the effect that money had been paid to officials by this ring to procure these appoint ments. “the ring don’t kind all clear AHEAD. “Senator Joshua Hill, G. P. Bur nett, Geo. S. Fisher, D. 1). Snyder, J. It. Davis, Jeff. Long Thomas Rob erson and others are credited with working faithfully against the ring. “ DISG It UNTL ED. “Farrow and Whitely are comple tely disgruntled. An investigation, with racy developments is probable.” IION L. N. TRAMMELL, Who has twice in succession been elected President of the Senate, is a man of marked ability. He seldom, if ever, descends from the Chair t< participate in debate, and for that reason your correspondent has had no opportunity to Judge of his talents as a speaker. Judging from his man ner of conversation which is quite, insidious, easy and nonchalante, one would imagine him to he a fluent, ingenuous, and incisive speaker, al ways polished and elegant, but sel dom, if ever, eloquent. He is said to be one of the most artful parliamen tarians in Georgia, and as a crafty, knowing, cunuing politician, he has few equals in the State. He makes an accomplished presiding officer, though as such he is more expert and adroit than commanding, lie is a man of vivid perceptions, discrimina ting judgment and ready address. Socially, with those with whom he is intimate and friendly, he is a mosta greeable and entertaining companion, lie is from Dalton, Whitefield county, and represents the Forty-third Sena torial District. HON. J. W. WOFFORD, Os Bartow, Senator from the Forty second District, is considered by many the most eloquent speaker on the floor of the Senate, and is gener ally rog arded as one of the ablest and most influential members of the pres ent Senate. His speech is uniformly elegant and finished, frequently beau tiful, and at times eloquent. Though he does not discard logic, he seldom taxes his reasoning powers to their utmost capacity, preferring rather to complete their partial expression by figures of rhetoric and the embellish ments of language. He seldom re sorts to impassioned oratory, denun ciatory language, or the severer forms of sarcasm and irony to enforce his arguments, choosing rather to lead with smiles and compliments, than drive with frowns and rebukes. Chronicle & Sentient. Gen. Mcßae, tiie New Super intendent of the State Road.— The Atlanta Herald of yesterday un der the above head, says : We are glad to learn from high au_ thority that the management of the Western and Atlantic Railroad has been transferred, in a great measure) to General Mcßae, the recently elect ed superintendent, who is regarded as one of the best railroad officials in the South.
