THE STANDARD AND EXPRESS. PUBLISHED WEEKLY. VOL. 14. THE PUBLIC PERIL—WHAT MONOTOLIEB are doing. The action of State Legislatures, the popular assemblages, the combi nation among merchants, the organi zation of farmers’ clubs throughout the West, are all significant indica tions of the growing restlessness of the people under the exactions and unjust discriminations of railroad combinations. The consolidations or union lines in order to faciliate trav el and prevent tiie delay so apt to oc cur where there is diverse manage ment is a result every way desirable. The closer and more harmonious ar rangements become between the multitudes of companies organized in every Stale, the better for the ship per, for the traveler, for the prompt transmission of the mails, and for the operations of trade, it is not such that excite the people and arouse the clamor that is heard so generally through the country. It is the con solidations of roads so as to defeat competition, to sustain exhorbttant prices for travel and freight, the un just discriminations by winch way freights are compelled to beer bur dens out of all proportion to the ser vice rendered and the distance trav eled, that create so much feeling. The combination of great lines by which they are virtually made one, controlled by a single animating spirit, establishing price that if they do not place an embargo upon a large amount of trade, come so near absorbing all the profits of produc tion as to make many wish that they were abated as nuisances.— Wash. Chronicle. True, very true, every word of it. And we wonder if this great radical paper can appreciate that grand sen timent of the immortal Andrew Jackson: “The constant tendency of government is to drift from the hands of the many into that of the few.” He was not speaking of rail roads but the sentiment will apply to them as well, for we now see the second State of the Union, Pennsyl vania, under the con troll of a railroad fellow by the name of Scott, an un scrupulous, illiterate man, who stops at nothing in the way of ambition if money will put it aside, no matter how employed. Greece after the buttle of Cheroena was not morecom pletely at the feet of Phillip than is the State of Win. Penn at the feet of Scott to day. “If the Central Rail road has no more business for us, I now move we adjourn,” said a mem ber of her Legislature. Ail this of course is done for tiie best interests of thecountry. “How many struggles, how much blood, how many years will it not require to realize thupgood which I intended for mankind/’ said the captive of St. Helena, but the world points his memory to the six million tombs he left behind him. Monoplies are always odious not because they are hated as such, but because they are universally unjust. Give any man or any set of men the power to take away your liberty and a sainted few will refuse, but give any of them tiie power to absorb your wealth and they will do so with out a moments hesitation.-/-..Werpme. IS THERE A GOD? How eloquently does Chateaubri and reply to this inquiry. There is a God! The "herb of the valley, the cedars of the mountains bless Him; the insect sport in his beams; the elephant salutes Him with the rising orb-of the day ; the bird sings Him in the foliage; the thun der proclaims Him in the Heavens ; the ocean declares his immensity; man alone has said “there is no God !” Unite in the thought at the same in stant the most beautiful objects in nature ; suppose that you see at once all the hours of the day and all the seasons of the year, a morning of spring and a morning of autumn ; a night bespangled with stars and a night covered with clouds ; meadows enamelled with flowers, and forest heavy with snow; fields gilded by tints of autumn ; then alone you will have a just conception of the uni verse. While you are gazing on the sun, which is plunging under the vault of the West, another observer admireshini emergingfrom the gild ed of the East. By what inconceiva ble magic does that aged star, which is sinking fatigued and burning in the shade of evening, reappear at the same instant, fresh and humid with the rosy dews of morning ? At every instant of the day the glorious orb is at once rising resplendent at noonday, and setting in the West, or rather our senses deceive us and there is properly speaking no East, West, North, of South in the world. Every thing reduces itself to a simple point from whence the king of day sends forth at once a tripple light in one sub stance. The bright splendor, perhaps, that which nature can present that is most beautiful, for, while it gives us an idea of the perpetual magnificence and resistless power of God, it exhib its at the same time a shining image of the glorious trinity ! DON’T BE TOO SENSITIVE. Here is a short article we find float ing around on the sea of journalism that many men should past in their hats and ladies on their bonnets, if room can be found on “the little duck of a thing.” These people, liable to quick emotions, with sense, but not reason, showing their nature in their countenance, and often marring re pose and friendship by unwarranted suspicion, are found in all our cities. Let them read and profit by this. “There are some people, yes, many people, always looking out for slights. They cannot carry on the daily in tercourse of the family without some offense is designated. If they meet an acquaintance on the street who happens to be pre-occupied with busi ness, they attribute his abstraction in some mode personal to themselves, and take umbrage accordingly. They lay on others the fact of their irritabillity. A fit of indigestion makes them see impertinence in every one they come in contact with. Innocent persons, who never dream ed of giving offense, are astonished to find some unfortunate word or momentary taciturnite mistaken for an insult. To say the least, the hab it is unfortunate. It is far wiser to take the more charitable view of our fellow-beings, and not suppose a wight is intended unless the neglect is open and direct. After all, too, hfe takes its hues in a great degree Irom the color of our mind. If we are trank and generous, the suspici ous men learn to be cold and cautious US U a Person get the reputa •^ u r -” being touchy, and every body in U *\ • er more or leas constraint, and .... ,;« s xvu y t^lo chance of an imagiiia •' often* is vastly increased.” THE BANKRUPT LAW. Below are the exemptions in the several States which, under a recent amendment of the law, are now made to apply to the National Bank rupt Act. STATE EXEMPTIONS.

The exemptions are not only uniform in “the several States, but they are so large in many of them, if bankrupts take advantage of them it will be a heavy blow to the creditor class. These exemptions, par ticularly as they will be administer ed, will cover all the property of a very large proportion of the people in the country, most of whom are small farmers, or small merchants, machanica and professional men.— Savannah News NO USURY LAWS IN GEORGIA. At the late session of the Legisia. ture the usury laws of this State were repealed. Under our present law the borrower is free to obtain money at any price, but the sum to lie paid as interest must be stipulated in thewrit en contract. The text of the act, which has been made a law, is as fol lows : An Act to repeal the usury laws in this State, and to fix the rate of interest in cases where tiie contract ing parties make no contracts in writ ing in reference thereto. Section 1. Be it enacted by the Sen ate and House of llepresntatives in General Assembly met , and it is hereby enacted by the authority of the same. That from and after the passage of this act, all laws in this State upon the subject of usury be, and the same are hereby repealed. Section 2. And be it father enacted. That the rate of interest in this State, when the same is not agreed upon in writing by the parties, shall he seven per cent, per annum, as heretofore allowed by Jaw. Section 3. Whenever the parties to any note, bond, or bill, or other contract or evidence of indebtedness which bears interest, shall agree upon any other rate of interest, whether the same be more or less than seven per cent, and shall insert the amount or rate of interest so agreed upon in the written contract, the same shall be legai and valid to all intents and purposes, and it shall be the duty of the Courts of this State to enforce such contracts. Section 4. And be it further enacted 1. That in no case shall more than seven per cent, be allowed, unless the same be provided for in the Written con tracts. The Atlanta Herald has the fol lowing items: A Strange Freak of Gener osity.—Last Sabbath night, at the Central Presbyterian Church, quite a novel sight presented itself to the congregation of that church, ltev. Mr Leftwhieh was giving his charge one of his excellent discoures on charity, when a stranger suddenly arose from his seat and walked deliberately up to the pulpit, and deposited along of the Bible a roll of money and then coolly returned to his seat. After the services the same stranger again wal ked up to the pulpit, and reached o ver and grasped the hand of Mr. L., and after giving it a hearty shake, turned about and quietly walked out of the church. All of this was done without a word being spoken. No one seemed to know this generous stranger. We have not been able to ascertain the amount. We commend the conduct of the man. A Presbyterian Wedding. —The Jonesboro’ East Tennessee Flag con tains the following: Married.— On last Sabbath, at the Presbyterian Church in the town of Jonesboro’, by a ceremony peculiar to themselves, the Southern and Northern Presbyterian churches of this place. In this ease as well as others of a like character, the course of true love did not exactly run smooth, but the parties, after consid erable courting , finally brought the matter to a finality, a consummation devoutly to he wished. We hope the newly joined parties will have no cause to regret their union. They have our best wishes for their future prosperity and usefulness. #A Big Job.—A carrespondent of the Chronicle and Sentinel writes from Elberton, that during court there last week, a party of ladies came around among the lawyers, so liciting “contributions to build a Presbyterian church in the town. They called on General Toombs to give them something to which he re plied that he was a Methodist him self, but he generally gave to all de nominations, and how much did they want. ‘Well, General, just one of those large bills you have there.’ The General handed them S2O, with the request they should pray for him for he thought it would take the prayers of all denominations to save him.” SAMUEL H. SMITH & COMPANY, EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS. CARTERSYILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, APRIL 3,1873. Civil Rights in Mississippi.— It seems they are just starting out in Mississippi under a State Civil Rights bill. A Jackson dispatch to the Memphis Appeal reports progress as follows: The effects of the Civil Rights bill was shown last night. The Kate Putnam troupe opened at Angloe’s Hall, and provision was made for a quadroon gallery, but several “wards of the nation” saw fit to occupy near seats on the floor. No notice beiny taken of them, they did not enjog their rights so much. Only one col ored citizen of Jackson appeared for his rights; he is small grocery keep er. The barber shops have all suc cumbed to the bill with one excep tion—Jake Wonders, a colored bar ber, who swears lie won’t shave nig gers. The balance of the shops have lost the best part of their white cus tom. The rates published in Miller Knickles’ private boarding house for board per month is two hundred and fifty dollars; per week seventy-five dollars; per day ten dollars; single meal, five dollars; ham and eggs, two dollars and fifty cents. Everything else in proportion. No discount. Cash in advance. These are high charges, but we pre sume Miller Knickles refunds a por tion of them to some of his cus tomers, while he may neglect to do so in respect to others. Who shall pre vent Miller Knickles from charging what he pleases for his eggs and oys ters, and when lie has collected the money, may he not do what lie pleas es to do with it ? Thus, the attempt to mix colors will amount to nothing, practically, except to stir up the blood and make inconvenience and trouble. C A USE OF UN I LAPIN ESS. Harsh hapiness, rough words, small but frequent acts of selfishness and injustice, sometimes quite poi son the heart that promised to be blessed. There are families that possess ev ery earthly comfort—health, money, and occupation—but are miserable from tiie jealousy and quarreling that prevail within them. There are married couples who live in daily sorrow, not because they are in want, but because each thinks the other unkind, arbitrary, and inconsider ate Young people sometimes marry with their eyes shut: and thus in stead of being mated with angels, as they foolishly imagined they might be, they find out afterwards that they are only men and women, with the common weakness and faults of their respective sex. This sham love easily gets soured, and then each reproaches the other for not fulfill ing the sentimental prospect with which they entered into the marriage state. Take any of the relationships of life, and we should find that for the great part of all our sorrow comes from the same cause, Get any one to tell you honestly what gives him the most annoyance and disquiet ude, and ho will tell you they come from the want of kindness, sympa thy’ and fellow feeling. He would tell you that he would bear other things if he only met with more con siderations, support and encourage ments from the people with whom he has to do. “WHO BURNED COLUMBIA?” Tiiis question is aji insult to com mon intelligence and yet to this day it is asked, and even a book has been used to settle the matter. Why not ask who burned every painted house from Chattanooga to Savannah, from Savannah to Goldsborough ? The question would be equally proper. But whilst these questions are in or der why not ask who was the incar nate fiend who drove the pregnant women, the helpless babes, the aged, sick and decrepid citizens of Atlanta forth from their homes and then set their houses on fire. Hush! Let the veil of oblivion obscure total depravity, let us think there is no one so low that there is not a spark of angel in him, but whoever read the savage order or saw the melancholy procession as it filed out of Atlanta, or as it came into Gen. Hood’s lines will ever forget it or ev er forgive the inhuman monster, W. T. Sherman ? Sherman’s history is yet to be written and— A thousand years from now, Admiring demons will read ids Deeds by the blaziug light of hell. [Macon Enterprise. This is a dreadful state of things that is declared by Dr. Schwabe. President of the Statistical Board at Berlin, to exist in that intelligent city. Children, he says, tho’ much improv ed by public instruction, “are strange ly deficient in the knowledge of Na ture and natural phenomena. From a bout 1,000 children examined before being admitted into school, 777 nev er saw any rainbow, 633 a field of potatoes, 602 a butterfly, 583 the sun set, 462 the rising of the sun, 460 a meadow, 406 a cornfield, 387 a flock of sheep, 364 a forest, 264 an oak-tree, and lastly, 167 had never heard the song of a lark.” No wonder this statement made, as is reported, “a great sensation.” What prospect of a happy or a usual life to children brought up amid all the advantages of a great city, and yet ignorant of so simple things as “cornfields,” and flocks of sheep,” and “the song of the lark,” and all the rest? Well may everybody in Germany be convinced that “something is still to lie done to fill those voids in the primary ed ucation of children.” A KEROSENE HORROR. In the township of Cascade, Kent county, Miehgan, Mrs. M. G. Smith was sitting up doing some work, her husband and son having gone to bed, when a kerosene lamp exploded, en veloping the unfortunate woman in flames. With a shriek of terror she awakened her husband and rushed out of the house, followed by him. Mr. Smith, with his hands and snow endeavored to extinguish the flames, but did not seeeeed until the cloth ing of his wife was burned complete ly olf, and her body so badly burned that she cannot live. Mr. Smith, was so badly burned that he will be a cripple for life, and it is feared, blind. While this heartrending scene was going on outside, the boy, 14 years old, and the house were forgotten. The burning oil set the house on fire and it and the sleeping hoy were con sumed. POETRY. • MY LITTLE DARLING BY FRANCIS S. SMITH. [“Please bury my little darling. lam driven by poverty aiul an intemperate husband to do that I would not do. I shall soon be with my child.” It was the old, old story, pinned on the clothing of an infant found dead yesterday, an ! buried in the Potter's Field. —New York Sun. I am weary, oh, how weary Os the trials and the fears Tout have haunted me like specters So many bitter years. My eyes are sered with weeping 'Mid poverty and strife— Please bury my little darling For I have done with life. Iu the silence of the midnight, With my baby on my breast, I’ve prayed that God might summon us To His eternal rest. He has taken my sweet infant And answered half my prayer, Please burv my little darling And l will join you there. Is it strauge that I should murmur, And long so much to llee Far from a rum-crazed husband And abject poverty t I am wild with this great torture, And my head begins to swim, Please bury my little darling For I must go to him. He cannot come to me—ah, no, My babe has gone to rest— His tiny hands are folded Upon his little breast, His soul is with the Saviour, Who has borne it to the sky, Please bury my little darling, And now, cold world, good-by. I LOVE YOU STILL. Let ine tell you, Sweet girl! but coy, My Star of hope— Sunshine of joy! Os this affection, if you will— Oh! I loved you, how I loved you® And that’s not all —I love you still. Dear, sweet girl, whose bright eyes Rain influence past eoutrol; 'Tis beauty charms the eye, But merit wins the soul! You may doubt it, But time tyill tell; May laugh or frown, But mark this well; My heart will have its own sweet will— Oh! I loved you, how I loved you! And that’s not all —I love you still. Words may deceive us all, But looks we can’t deny; Soul answereth soul, And eye speaketh to eye! ******** Deem it weakness, Sickly kindness; Say it’s madness, Foolish blindness: Call it, I care not, what you will— Oh ! I loved you, how I loved you! And that’s not all —I love you still. Thus is my heart ever Trusting, patient, hoping, Loving—doubting never— Will love —yes forever! [From the Atlantic Monthly. MADRIGAL. Every robin red-breast takes himself a mate! Say the birds, sing the birds, “It is wrong to wait Till the lily-footed Spring glides out at Sum mer’s gate.” So I heard the birds sing, once upon a day; Omy treasure! Omy pleasure! Canst thou say me nay ? Birds’ songs and birds’ neats and green boughs together, All gone; love alone laughs at bitter weather. Summer days or Winter days ; little recks Love whether; If so be that Love have his own, his darling way. Ah, my fairest! Ah, my rarest! Canst thou say me nay ? In the wood the wind flower is sunken out of sight, Low down and deep down and world-forgot ten quite. But do you think the Wind forgets that she was sweet and white ? Then listen to his sad Voice a little while, I pray! Omy cruel! Omy jewel! Canst thou say me nay ? The sun stole to a red rose and wiled her leaves apart; May dew and June air had wooed her at the start; But was’t not fair the sun should have her gold en, perfect heart ? Let me choose one short word for timid lips to say; Ah, my precious! My delicious! It shall not be nay! Howard Glyndon. COMIC ODE TO SPRING. 15Y THOMAS HOOD. [The following composition from the in imitable humorist is just now very seasona ble :] “Hamlet, —The air bites shrewdly—it is very cold. Horatio.—lt is, a nipping, and an eager air.” “Come, gentle Spring! etherial mildness, come!” Oh! Thomson, void of rhyme, as well as rea son, • How couldst thou thus poor human nature hum, There’s no sueli season. The Spring! I shrink and shudder at the name! For why?—l feel her breath a bitter blighter! And suffer from her blows as if they came, — From Spring the Fighter. Her then, let hardy poets sing, And be her tuneful laureates and upholders, Those do not feel as if they had a Spring Poured down their shoulders. Let others eulogize her floral shows; From me they cannot with a full stanza, I know her blossoms are in full blow, and so’s The influenza. Her cowslips, stocks, and lilies of the vale, Her honey-blossoms, that you hear the bees at, Her daisies, daffodils and primrose pale, Are things I sneeze at. Smitten by breezes from the laud of plague, To me all vernal luxuries are fables, O! where’s the Spring in a rheninatic leg Stiff as a table’s ! In short all panegyrics lie, In fulsome odes too mauy to be cited, The gentle Spring is “all in my eye,” * And that is blighted. The Columbus Sun, notes a a in stance of fidelity on the part of a for mer slave, and adds: There is quite an aged lady who is supported almost entirely by .a former nurse of the fam ily. This woman will suffer from want of clothes and food even before she will allow her “old mistress” the slightest privation. A portion of her wiiges are regularly appropriated to this purpose. Such a woman must be indeed a noble one, no matter how dark her skin may be, and evinces a devotedness of affection such as the world has rarely seen. We have also been told of a colored man on one of our railroads who, as long as he lived, offered to share Ills wages with his former master.
