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

The amended act not only allows these
State exemptions, but allows them as
against all liens, no matter how or
where acquired, as well as all debts
contracted before its passage, the de
cision of any court to the contrary
notwithstanding. 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.—

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.”

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.
