Negro Robbed by Negroes.—A
negro man yesterday reported that on
the previous day he had been robbed by

number of stockholders were present

iiams, had procurod from the Court
permission to change the name from
the “Southern Fair Association” to the
“Columbus Industrial Association,”

The last six were elected last night,
the others at a previous meeting.
The Directors have a meeting in Jno.
King’s Bank at 12 M. Saturday.
Without an etfort, thus far $6,500
have been secured. The Directors at
their meeting will probably k appoint a
committee to secure further stock. Suc
cess is certain, as all are enthusiastic in
the matter.
Dr. W. A. Mathews.—This gentle
man, who was declared by the Agency
to be entitled to the seat of Hon. Wm.
J. Anderson, of Fort Valley, in the
Senate, by reason of having the next
highest vote will now doubtless take
the seat, as we learn that meetings of
citizens, regardless of party, were held
in Fort Valley and Perry, requesting
Dr. Mathews to do so. —Macon Tel.
Death of Robert G. Scott.—We
learn from the Montgomery Advertiser,
of the death of this gentleman, tha*
occurred at his residence in Monroe
county, Alabama, last week. Mr. Scott
was a native of Virginia, and repre
sented the Richmond District in Con
gress. Ho was a man of ability. He
has been a citizen of Alabama for the
last fitleen years. He was about seventy
years of age.
Commodore Vanderbilt's Wealth.
—A New York letter says: “Contrary
to general belief, Commodore Vander
bilt, who is now seventy-sir years of
age, has made no will, and he declares
he never will. Such being the case, his
young wife would, in the event of his
demise at this time, receive some $23,-
000,000, and the children will have as
their share of the property, between
three or four millions apiece.”
A HOT SHOT.
The speech of Mr. Dawes, of Massa
chusetts, against the extravagance and
corruption of the Grant administration,
has proved to be a hot shot for Radical
ism. The shrieks and groans of the
wounded are heard in every direction.
Butler, the leader of the administration
party in the House, attempted'to weak
en the force of the speech of Dawes by
an attempt to provoke a personal dis
cussion. But Dawes waived the person
ality issue and planted himself upon
facts and figures most damaging to
Grant and his party, and rose at once to
the leadership of the House. He is
warmly backed and encouraged by the
leading Radical presses, and by none
more warmly than the Tribune and the
New York Times, this last journal hav
ing heretofore ruled as the especial or
gan of Grant. Mr. Dawes demonstrated
beyond question, that the present esti
mates for running the Government rna
chine for a year demanded more money
by forty millions than was used in any
single year during the administration of
Johnson.
Grant and his Cabinet are not going
to fight on that line all summer, but are
making frantic efforts to flank Dawes.
The hot shot has taken effect. A New
York dispatch says :
Nearly, if not quite, 2,000 employees
of the Brooklyn Navy yard have been
discharged.
Another from Boston says :
Orders were received at the Charles
town Navy-yard forthe discharge to-day
of 1,300 men in the naval construction
department.
Bollock's Schemes.
The Macon Telegraph and Messenger
thus enumerates the schemes of plunder
which Bullock and his friends will
shortly introduce :
First, there comes up the Mitchell
claim, which will bleed the tax payers
to the tune of $1,000,000 or more.—
Then the State Road will be put upon
the market, with the Express Company
as preferred bidders. Os course, they
must “recognize the services” of those
who favor the sale, and the cheapest way
to do that is to use the money promised
the State. Then there’s the Opera
House, with about $350,000 more to
come out of the pockets of the foolish
people who pay taxes.
To this list may be added, the pur
chase of the James mansion, as a resi
dence for Bullock, and innumerable
railroad projects.
The Telegraph and Messenger warns
parties who may take the State bonds
which will be issued to bolster these
schemes, that a day of reckoning will
come. We desire to say to the harpies
in addition, that when Georgia is once
more free, and in the control of her own
people, they will repudiate, to the last
cent, all of this mountain of debt which
has been piled up to effect her subjec
tion.
A Baseless Hope.—Some of our
State cotemporaries are clinging to a
hope that something will be done to
help the little handful of true Democrats
who are left to battle against a Radical
majority In the Legislature. Their
hope is based upon the following tele
gram :
Washington, January 28.
Col. J. E. Bryant:
Judiciary Committee instructed to
enquire into question -of further legis
lation, as to the organization of your
Legislature. Justice and fair dealing
must be the guide. One cause of our
last action was the admission of persons
not having a majority.
Geo. F. Edmunds.
There is nothing in it. The Legisla
ture has been organized according to
Military orders, and its organization
suits the purposes of Radicalism.
Senator Edmonds did introduce a res
olution, instructing the Judiciary Com
mittee to enquire if further legislation
was needed in the Georgia case. It was
agreed to, when an objection from a
single Senator would have tabled it. —
It was well understood that nothing
would be recommended by the Com
mittee favorable to the people of Geor
gia. Georgia has no hope save in the
fortitude and integrity of her sons.
Superior Court Monday. A
number of cases were disposed of by
jury, trial and otherwise. The only
case which arrested much interest was
that of Godleib Aenchbacher and others,
against the “Columbus Iron Works.”
action of ejectment, and for “mesne
profits.” The suit was one to recover
certain ground willed by a grand moth
er to her husband and after his death to
her grand children, which property has
been occupied many years by the com
pany mentioned. In this case the jury
found a verdict that the plaintiff's were
entitled to possession,and $867 for back
rents.
Benning, J. M. Russell and A. C.
Morton of counsel for plaintiff, and
Blanford & Thornton and Peabody &

T. W. Grimes vs. S. Woodfield and
Thos. S. Tuggle— Garnishee— Found
for plaintiff SSO and $6 interest.
Superior Court Tuesday. —Sev
eral cases were disposed of by jury trial,
but none of notable interest. After its
usual session, Court adjourned until 9
this morning.
The following is a list of the cases
decided by jury :
C. B. Taliaferro vs. 11. R. McCoy &
Cos., complaint. Verdict for plaintiff

Destructive Earthquake.
A telegram from Hartford, Con.,
Jan 28, says the Courant has news from
Robert P. Keep, Consul at Athens, of
the total destruction by an earthquake,
on Dec. 29th, of the town of Santa
Maura, on one of the lonian Islands of
of that name. At the date of the ad
vices, Jan. Ist, ten dead bodies and fifty
wounded men had been taken from the
ruins. Not a house was left standing.
The survivors slept in the open air or
under tents.
The Islands of Santa Maura, or Lu
cretia, as it was called by the ancient
Greeks, is one of the lonian Islands,
situated off the Western coast of Greece,
and has an area of 180 square miles,and
a population of 18,000 inhabitants. The
town which is reported to be destroyed,
was on the North coast, and contains a
castle, which, under British protection,
was the headquarters of a regiment of
troops.
An Important Decision. —The Su
pseme Court fcf the United States on
Monday, the 24 h, decided, Mr. Justice
Swayne delivering the opinion, that the
pica of authority conferred by the Con
federate States for the indictment and
arrest of parties, was no defense in an
action for damages resulting from such
proceedings. The decision was in the
case of Gen. H ckmaD, of Nashville, vs.
Judge Betts and others, of Huntsville,
Ala., who, as officers of the court and
grand jurors, had indicted and arrested
the deiendaut for treason against the
Confederate States. The cause came
from the Circuit Court for the Northern
District of Alabama, where the acts
complained ol were doue during the
war. The court below held that the
authority of the Confederate States was
a justification. The Supreme Court re
versed the judgment and remanded the
cause.
Mortality Among the Legislators
—The Atlanta papers announce the
death of Bob Lumpkin, colored Repre
sentative from Macon county, and Peter
Chambers, while Representative from
Merriwether. A little more of this, and
there will have to be more militaiy re
construction to fix up the majority. As
Ablinkum was wont to say, these little
episodes remind us of an anecdote, and
here it is:
A keen politician in the city of Glas
gow heard one day of the death of a
party opponent, who in a fit of mental
aberration had shot himself. “Ah!”
said he, “gaue awa’ that way by him
sel’, has he? I wish that he had ta’en
twa three days shootin’ amang his
friends before he went!”
The Future or Radicalism.
The correspondent oi the Cincinnati
Commercial, w riting from Atlanta, thus
prognosticates concerning the future of
the Radical party in this State :
An observer, unacquainted with the
politics of the State, or having but a
superficial knowledge of the situation,
would have supposed from the large at
tendance and harmony of the meeting,
that the Republican party in Georgia
was founded upon a rock, and as endur
ing as brass. But such is not the fact.
Its ranks are torn by dissension and
weakened by discord. The breach be
tween the Conservative Republicans
and the Radical Republicans continues
to widen, with no immediate prospect
of conciliation.
The Radical wing has power in abun
dance, for within its ranks are ninety
thousand colored voters, party tried and
party true, but it has not brains, no
master spirit at the wheel to pilot it
through the breakers. It has a thous
and second-rate lawyers and pot house
politicians who aspire to lead, but not
•one of them has the genius to rise above
his fellows, and so there is nothing but
contention and contusion continually.
King Richard has been made famous in
history as offering a kingdom for a horse,
and the necessities of the Radical party
in Georgia are almost as great as those
of Richard when he made that fabulous
offer, so near it, in fact, that they could
well afford to barter away ten thousand
votes for a leader.
Owing to a variety of reasons, the
principal one of which is the fact that
the army of the United States and sun
dry military gentlemen in the shape of
a court martial, have come to their aid,
the Republican party in Georgia ap
pear to be on rising ground. But as
soon as the extraordinary props now
supporting it, and giving it a false col
oring of strength, are withdrawn, the
party will slowly sink again into the
slough of despondency, and cry out for
help when no help can reach it. The
time can not be long now until the
State is returned to her place in the
Union, and then the party will
have to stand upon its merits, if it stands
at all, for Congress will be powerless to
come to its aid every six months.
Killing Indians. —Concerning Col.
Baker’s expedition against the Indian*
in Montana, which the telegraph report
ed as a “complete success,” the Phila
delphia Press says:
A report comes from Helena, Monta
na, of a wholesale slaughter of Indians
by a detachment of troops under Colo
nel Baker, which rivals in atrocity the
famous Chivington massacre. Thirty
lodges of men, women and children
were suprised and mercilessly butcher
ed, only six or eight escaping. It is a
sad commentary on our civilization,and
a reproach to Christianity, that such
fiendishness should be practiced under
the sanction of authority, and with the
approval of public sentiment in at least
a large portion of the Union.
Expensive W ithdrawal. —Bullock’s
official papers contain an order making
the announcement of the withdrawal of
patronage from certain newspapers in
the State, the publication of which robs
the Treasury of over one hundred dol
lars for performing a service which
could have been accomplished by a sim
ple notification in writing to each. The
jtost is about nine dollars in each paper.
That’s the way the money goes.
The Gadsden (Ala.) Times says Capt.
Greenway is engaged, at that place, in
building a boat to demonstrate the prac
ticability of navigating the Coosa river
over the rapids. The hull is completed
and launched, and the cabin is being
put on. She is christened the “Calliope”
and is of light draught. Capt. Green
way is an experienced steamboat-man
from the Tennessee waters.
The Polygamy Question.—Mr. Cul
lom’s bill to abolish polygamy in Utah
has been completed by his committee,
and will be reported to the House when
the committee is regularly called for
reports. It provides that the President
shall enforce its terms by the use of
troops if necessary and the calling out
of twenty-five thousand volunteers
among the citizens of Utah. The bill
will probably pass the House, and then
the question becomes one of most seri
ous interest.
Lieut. Derby—John Phoenix—once
hailed a solid-looking German, who was
driving a baker’s wagon past Barry &
Patten’s, on Montgomery street, San
Francisco, with. “Hullo 1 I’ll take
one.” “Vat you takes,” said Tenton,
pulling up. “A baked eagle, said Phce
nix. The driver scowled, muttered,
and was driving on, when Derby, in an
authoritative tone, ordered him to halt,
saying, “If you don’t have ‘Eagle Bak
ery’ painted off that wagon, I’ll have
you court-martialed !”
Col. Eli S. Shorter, President of the
company, M. B. Welborn, and Gen. H.
D. Clayton, are canvassing Barbour

road.
Fifteenth Amendment. ln the
New York Legislature last Thursday
Mr. Van Steenburg introduced a reso
lution declaring that the adoption of the
amendment by the prostrate Southern
States ought to be regarded as null and
void. Nobody knows that better than
the Radicals.

arguing that it was not proper to appro

Shumate, of Whitfield, suggested that
they send out an exploration party to
find out whether or not there was a
Senate. [Laughter.]
Harris, of Hancock, offered a resolu
tion that the front seats of the gallery
be reserved for ladies. Carried.
Resolution by Lane, of Brooks, that
a committee be appointed to adopt rules
for the government of the House, was
offered.
Mr. Nesbitt offered a resolution that
the portion of Tennessee over which
the Western aud Atlautic road runs
should become a portion of Georgia,and
that the Governor appoint a committee
of three from the House and two from
the Senate, and two from the State at
large, to take such steps, as to acquire
this portion of Tennessee, either by
purchase or otherwise.
Motion of Mr. Phillips that the mem
aers retain the same seats was carried.
Lee, of Newton, moved toadjouru to
Monday 10 o’clock. Carried.
SENATE.
Monday, Jan. 31, 1870
Senate called to order by President
onley.
Mr. Smith of the 36th, offered a reso
lution that members retainjtheir present
seats, which was adopted.
In response to inquiry whether the
introduction of bills would be in order,
the President said bills were not In or
der, because tbe Senate had not been
informed that its officers were accepta
ble to the proper authorities.
Mr. Welch offered a resolution that
the President be authorized to procure
the services of a chaplain, which was
at first assented to, but was afterwards
reconsidered, discussed and finally laid
on the table.
Messages from the House were re
ceived announcing the organization of
that body, and the appointment of a j
joint committee to wait upon the Gov- ;
ernor.
Mr. Wooten, from the joint commit
tee to wait upon the Governor, reported |
that the committee had waited upon !
Gov. Bullock; and he had informed
them that he would transmit the resolu
tion of the Senate and House of their j
organization to General Terry, and
would have a communication for the
General Assembly on Wednesday next.
Mr. Brock offered a resolution calling
upon Gen. Terry and Gov. Bullock to
issue a proclamation stopping all judi
cial proceedings on contracts prior to
June, 1865.
Messrs. Candler and Wooten made a
point of order, that the resolution was
out of order, the organization of the
Senate not having been recognized by
Gen. Terry, which point was sustain
ed by President Conley.
Leave of absence was granted to
Messrs. Merrell and Crayton.
Senate then adjourned till Wednes
day, 12 o’clock m.
HOUSE.
House met at 10, a. m., and was call
ed to order by the Speaker.
Mr. Bryant, of Richmond, handed in
a protest to the further action of this
House, on the ground that it was Illegal
ly organized. He asked that it be read
and entered on the Journal. The Speak
er ordered the protest read. This was
an able and unanswerable document.
O’Neal, of Lowndes, arose to discuss
the protest. He thought the protest
was disrespectful—
A message from the Senate was pre
sented by J. G. W. Mills, informing the
House of the organization of the Senate
by the election of Hon. Benj. Conley,as
President, and J. G. W. Mills, as Sec
retary, and that a committee of three
from the Senate was ready to proceed
I with any similar committee from the
House, to inform the Provisional Gov
ernor of their organization.
Mr. O’Neal continued his remarks.—
He likened the House to a court, and
Mr. Bryant a lawyer thereof telling the
court it was not a legally organized
| court. He thought to allow the protest
entered was an admission of its correct
ness. [Some smiles.] He asked if the
j Speaker would emertain it. The
Speaker said he desired to hear it dis
cussed; but he should at the proper time
rule that this House was organized un
l der act of Cangress and military orders,
and that this resolution was improper.
O’Neal, of Lowndes, than said he
concluded by moving an indefinite post
ponement of the protest.
Mr. Bryant arose to speak.
The Speaker here interrupted, by an
nouncing the appointment of a commit
tee to co operate with the Senate com
mittee. The following is the committee:
O’Neal, Harrison of Franklin, Harrison
of Hancock, Costin, and Harper of
Sumter.
Mr. Bryant then asked that a telegram
from Senator Edmunds be read by the
Clerk.
Objection being made, the Speaker
I refused to allow it.
Mr. Bryant then read the telegram.
! [ln this telegram, Mr. Edmunds said
I that the cause of the Georgia bill of
1869 was the admission of persons to
seats who had not received a majority
of the votes of their constituents.]
Mr. Bryant said as to the flings against
his Republicanism, he would say that
his conduct was regulated by a desire to
save the State from ruin, and prevent
illegal action. He said he was not dis
respectful. Senators Edmunds and
Carpenter, Radical Republicans, had j
said just what his protest said, and with ,
a splendid burst of declamation he paro
died Madame Rowland on her way to
the scaffold : “Oh ! Republicanism ! j
•what crimes are committed in thy
name 1”
Mr. Scoitt, of Floyd, here obtained the
floor. He said Gen. Terry had, in the
telegram printed in the Constitution of
yesterday, decided that the House was
acting illegally.
O’Neal interrupted.
Mr. Scott desired to know of him f
he recognized Gen. Terry as military
commander of Georgia, and a correct
expounder of the Georgia bill ? Answer
yes or no!
Mr. O’Neal attempted to dodge a cat
egorical answer,
Mr. Scott told him he knew he was
the “Artful Dodger,” but he couldn’t
get out of this.
O’Neal refused thus to answer.
Mr. Scott said that the Radicals had
appealed te Congress on the ground
that “the next highest” had been seated.
Congress had decided in their favor,
and now the Radicals, by admitting the
“new issue,” had violated that decision
of Congress. It was that violation for
which the protest was entered.
Mr. Harper, of Terrell, said the House
was declared organized, and that was
settled; he only contended for the right
of the minority to protest.
Mr. Rice, of Columbia, by way of a
little digression, said that he esteemed,
honored, yea highly honored, Mr. Bry
ant. Borne Radicals objected to such as
this, and Mr. Rice proceeded to say
that he was in favor of allowing the
protest—it was a personal privilege of
the minority. His understanding of
Bullock and Terry’s orders about the
“new issue,” was a positive command,
and he called the previous question be
cause he desired to stop that excitement
and acquiesce in military orders. He
favored, however, the allowance of the
protest.
O’Neal, of Lowndes, as Chairman of
the Committee to wait on the Governor
and inform him of the organization of
the Senate and House, reported that
they had waited on the Provisional
Governor, who said that he would refer
the information to the General Com
manding; and further that he would
send a communication to the House on
Wednesday at 12 m.
O’Neal then moved to adjourn until
that time.
Motion carried.
Scott, of Floyd, called for the. yeas
and nays.
This was allowed, when the call pro
ceeded with tbe following result:
Yeas 53; nays 49.
Mr. Tumlin said as he saw no neces
sity of the House meeting here until it
was recognifbd as organized, he voted
“yes.”
Many Radicals, including Golden,
now changed their votes to “yes ”
House adjourned till Wednesday 12
o’clock.
The following is a copy of Provision
al Governor Bullock’s reply to Senate
and House committees:
Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of th
Commileecs:
I am gratified to know that you have
reached aa organization by tbe election
of officers of the two Houses. I will
communicate the information to the
Major General Commanding the Dis
trict. A communication will be trans
mitted to your 'honorable bodies on
Wednesday at 12 o’clock.
Rufus B Bullock,
Provisional Governor.
Fannin;; on tbe Kio Vrtande.
Weleam from tbe Kanchero that a
large farm has been opened about lour
miles from Brownsville, belonging to
a joint stock company of twenty persons,
for the purpose of demonstrating the
producing capacity of the soil of the
Rio Grande valley. The company has
already 640 acres fenced in, aud sugar
cane planted for seed. The Ranchero
says it is equal or superior to any soil
upon tbe planet. The upper crust is
a brown loam, of some lour inches in
depth, which is as mellow and as rich
as the soil of any garden in America.—
Below the upper crust of brown loam
comes a soil of an apparent alluvial de
posit, varying from eighteen inches to
three feet in thickness, both of which
taken together make it a soil of inex
haustable richness. From here we
went to the far end of the field, where
plowing was going on. Again we met
with the same peculiarity of soil at the
cane field. Its formation will forever
prevent what is known as caking or
baking of the soil. It always lies loose,
even in the longest drouths, and from
its spongy nature will take in and hold
water a long time, thereby successfully
resisting the parching effects of drouths,
which is always so plainly marked upon
soil which cakes. The plowing is being
done after the Mexican fashion, that is,
with the fork of a tree, the roots of the
the thick chapparel, just cleared off,
preventing the introduction of the
strongest breaking up plows. After
one year’s plowing upon the Mexican
plan, then the American plow can be
successfully used, because tbe roots
have so far rotted as to make it practi
cable. There will be over one hundred
acres put under cultivation the first year
upon the Esperanza farm, which is cer
tainly promising for the future. —San
Antonio Star.
A Sensible Measure. —The Wash
ington special of the St. Louis Times
says: Mr. Wells is preparing a bill,
which he will introduce in a few days,
with a view to prevent some of the in
numerable contested elections which
occupy so much time of the House, and
result in great expense to the country.
The bill will make it obligatory upon
the contestant to give bond in the penal
sum of six thousand dollars, that, in the
event of his not being able to make out
his case against the sitting member, he
will reimburse him the amount expend
ed in procuring testimony, etc., to prove
his right to the seat which he occupies.
Such a bill will, if passed, tend to put a
stop to many contests which are insti
tuted by penniless politicians with a
view to obtaining the bonus usually
accorded by Congress to unsuccessful
candidates.
Happy People'—A letter from Dale
county to the Eufaula News, closes with
the following paragraph. Happy people,
those down in Dale. The writer says :
I have been living in Dale for twelve
! years ; and I never saw the country in
' a more prosperous condition than it is
| now. We have very few negroes here,
| and they are all humble and polite.
| Our chickens roost on the front fence
! with perfect safety. Our mules and
horses are not “chained and coffined,
ji cabined, cribbed, confined; —our barns
| and stables are not encumbered with
| the expense of locks. When we retire
to rest, we put neither pistols nor watch
| es under our pillows.
A Vain Dream.—When the Georgia
, bill was passed some of the leading men
I of the State, among them Hon. Ben. H.
I Hill and Judge Stephens, brother of
i Hon. Alexander H., advised the people
to abstain from any action thereunder.
Other views prevailed, the great argu
ment being that by going to the Legis
lature the Democratic members might
be able to exert a wholesome influence.
The result is now seen. A military
commission is now sitting in judgment
on our “wholesome” friends. It is a
vain dream to suppose that Democratic
participation in a reconstructed legisla
ture can do anything but lend some
1 color of legality to what would be other
wise too flagrant a fraud to live.—
Charleston News.
It is known to geographers that the
river Oxus once flowed into the Caspian
sea, instead of the sea of Arat, as it
now does. It is proposed by Russian
engineers to turn the river back to its
original course, thereby securing a
means of water communication from
the Caspian sea to the heart of Asia.—
As the river Uolga, with its branches
and connecting canals, now affords the
means of navigation between the Cas
pian and the Baltic, the scheme, if suc
cessful, will be of the greatest military
advantage to Russia. Men and muni
tions of war could be sent from Cron
stadt to Afghanistan at a smaller ex
pense and with much greater rapidity
than by the present land route. The
preliminary surveys for the work are
now in progress.
This little story is translated from
Figaro. The scene is the box-office of
a Paris theatre on the day of anew
play. The ticket agent is called upon
for two stalls. “Two stalls ! it is im
possible ; I sold the last seat yester
day.” “But I must have them.”
“But I’ve not got them. Stop ; I can
give you two stalls at 9 o’clock.’, “But
why at'nine?” “Listen and learn. 1
have sold No. 24 to A, No. 25 to B ;
you know them ? they are fire and wa
ter, dog and cat—Cassagnac and Roche
fort. They will sit side by side ; they
look at each other; they call each
names—they slap each other’s faces.
The audience protest; the police come
in; the offenders are put out. There
are two stalls vacant; take them and
say nothing.”
IN SCHOOL DAYS.
Stlli sits the school-house by the road,
A ragged beggar suDning;
Around it still the sumacs grow,
And blackberry vines are running;.
Within, the master’s desk Is seen,
Deep-scarred by raps official;
The warping floor, the battered seats,
The jaok-kniie’s carved initial.
The charcoal frescoes on the wall;
Its door’s worn sill betraying
The feet that, creeping slow to school,
Went storming out to playing!
Long years ago a winter sun
Shone over it at setting;
Lit up its western window panes,
And low eaves’ icy fretting.
It touched the tangled golden ourls,
And brown eyes lull of grieving,
Os one who still her steps delayed,
When all the school were leaving
For near her stood the little boy
Her childish favor singled;
His oap pulled low upon a face
Where pride and shame were mingled.
He saw her lift her eyes; he felt
The soft hand’s light caressing,
And heard the tremble of her voice,
As if a fault confessing.
“I’m sorry that I spelt the word:
I hate to go above you,
Because”—the brown eyes lower fell—
“ Because, you see, 1 love you!”
Still memory to a gray-liaired man
That sweet child-face Is showing;
Dear girl ! the grasses on her grave
Have forty years been growing!
He lives to learn, in life’s hard school,
How tew who pass above him
Lament their triumphs and his loss,,
Like her—beoause they love him.

Ambition, on a tristful day,
Crossed the valley where i lay,
And, at his nod, Fame’s hill I trod,
And called my nymph to follow
But, when Contentment saw my guide,
She cast her sedgy crown aside—
Her russet mantle streaming wide—
And left me, for the hollow.
When she fled across the plain,
Bright Hygeia in her train,
Ambition said,—Tho low-born maid
Has only gone to borrow
The laurel wreath Apollo twines,
A girdle irom Potosian mines,
And fruit from rich Burgundian vines.—
She’ll come, instate, to-morrow
As 1 struggled with my guide,
(in the gorged mountain-side,
My pulses sank, my sinews shrank,
And froze my very marrow;
For there the ravened bodies lay
Os poets stricken by tho way;
While voices,sad as snow In May,
My very soul did harrow.
Fame, they moaned, her laurel leaves
Only with the cypress weaves;
Myrtle crowns nrs only given
When the brain and heartare riven;
Bacchus gives a piesent joy
That Sllenus may destroy ;
And the earthworm wins his gold
Only when Ills soui grows cold.
Beauty scorns my yearning throes;
Falsely bright the goblet glows—
For in she lees the shadows freeze
A cryscal form of sorrow;
Wealtti scowls behind his gilded mask,
And Honor mocks my labored tusk:
When will Contentment comet 1 ask;
Hope whispers ine, —To-morrow !

.Song- mill Us Authorship
Many persons who are not in the hab
it of irequenting negro minstrel shows
have expressed a desire to know what
are the words of a song to which refer
ence is so often made in the newspapers,
and the chorus of which salutes the ear
in every public place. It is a nonsensi
cal melody, without rhyme or reason,
but is a legitimate successor of such
airs as “Captain Jinks” and “Up in a
Balloon,” and is therefore immensely
popular with the masses. When well
sung, with the burlesque “Can-Can”
accompaniment, it never fails to create
enthusiasm in a theater. These are the
words:
I think I hear t'e angels sing,
I think I hear de angels sing,
I think I hear do angels sing—
De angels now are on de wing.
1 feol, I feel, I feel—
Dat’s what my muddor said—
De angels pouring ’lasses down
Upon dis nigger’s head.
Chorus —Shoo, fly! don’t bodder me!
Shoo, fly ! don’t bodder me !
Shoo, fly ! don’t bodder me !
I belong to company Q-.
I feel, I feel, I feel,
I feel like a morning star;
I feel, I feel, I feel,
I feel liko a morning Star;
I feel, I feel, I feel,
I feel like a morning star;
I feel, I feel, I feel,
I feel like a morning star.

If I sleep in de sun, dis nigger knows,
If I sleep in de sun, dis nigger knows,

Wheneber dis nigger goes to sleep
He must cober up his head.
Chorus —Shoo, fly I don’t bodder me ! etc.
Strange as it may appear, says the
Richmond Dispatch, there is considera
ble discussion in the papers as to its
authorship. A claim for Petersburg
was first put in by the Norfolk Journal,
which stated that the song was origin
ally composed and sung by a crazy man
named Baker Crowder, but now we see
that Lynchburg claims it, and then
again the Wilmington Journal says its
dulcet notes first broke upon tha ear at
Nassau, N. P., during the blockade,
and was first imported into Wilmington
by some of the blockade runners.
Indiana Divorces.
Indianapolis, Ind., Jan. 24, 1870
To the Editor of the Herald :
As our Indiana divorce laws are sub
jected just now to much animadver
sion, I send you the enclosed letter, for
two purposes :—First, to show that our
laws, though not in all respects unob
jectionable, are not so lax but perjury
and forgery are necessary to avoid the
restraints they impose on suitß of this
character ; and, second, as an illustra
tion to the morality of those New Eng
land saints who are willing to cloak their
lustful iniquities under any kind of
document which appears legal on its
face, while they affect a holy horror of
Western ideas on the subject of the
marriage relation.
Our location more than our legislation
is the cause of much of the scandal,
which the conduct of profligate non
residents has fastened upon us, and we
are “more sinned against than sin
ning.”
But to the letter, which speaks for
itself:
Montpelier, Vt., Jan. 18,1870.
Dear Sir Will you put through
or fill out a bill of divorce in
your State with the party residing in
this State ? It need not be, but appear
legal on its face. No advantage will
ever be taken with it; or, if you will
cause it to be done, any way to get
such a paper. Please inform me yes or
no, and state conditions if you will so
do. Desertion will be the cause. I
enclose one dollar.
Respectfully, A. B. G.
Members of the bar are in daily re
ceipt of such applications ; and it is not
wonderful that they sometimes fall into
the hands of disreputable practitioners,
through whose instrumentality such
outrages are, in exceptional cases, con
summated. Can our New England
Solons suggest any law which may not
be evaded by such Infamous devices ?
JUSTICE, Attorney.
The Death Penalty. Twenty
three years ago Michigan abolished the
death penalty. Now tnere is consider
able discussion in both the pulpit and
the press of that State, as to whether it
should not be restored. It appears to
have been found that, while society
spared the murderers, the murderers
failed to spare society, and hence the
effort to put things on the footing of
equal rights, to-wit: life for life. There
is, it is true, something to be said against
the death penalty, since there are few
men, we fancy, who have seen a fellow
creature hanged but have shuddered at
the spectacle; but, perhaps, looking to
the good of society, the best rule is to
be touud in the bargain proposed by a
witty Frenchman to ali assassins :
Gentlemen, when you cease to kill us
we will cease to kill you.
Trouble Brewing.—There are signs
of more trouble brewing in North Car
olina. The Legislature is uow in re
cess, but just before adjourning, it sig
nified a disposition to prolong its term
two years, and to pass anew militia
! bill by which the Governor would be
empowered to declare martial law at
pleasure, and to call forth the militia to
execute his orders. The apprehension
i of the adoption of these two expedients
has excited much feeling in the State,
and public meetings are being held to
protest against both.
Franklin once wrote :
“He who by the plow would thrive,
Himself must either hold or drive.”
These lines were very popular jin their
day, and even now they are occasionally
quoted by old fogies. But some person
has eclipsed them by bringing out the
following :
“He who by his bti would rise,
Must either bust or advertise.” i

In a great many cases a single dose has been

I am free to confess that I know of no remedy
rocowmonded by the ablest authors so certain

are uncertain in the extreme. My object in

is contrary to the toachings and practice of a

its combination. For my own part, I shall
make it a rule to use all and any means to all
leviate suffering humanity which 1 may be
able to command not hesitating because
someone more ingenious than myself may
have learned its effects first, and secured the

“I am astonished that so many cases of

B. A. FAHNESTOCK’S
VERMIFUGE.
Why Is It that so many children die under
the age of five years 1 That a large proportion
of children <lle under that age, has long been
a subject of remark, and without a satisfactory
cause ascertained, it is certain.
Also, It Is known that worms exist in the hu
man system from Its earliest lnfaney; there
fore parents, especially mothers, who are
more, constantly with their ohlldren, cannot
be too observing of the flrßt tymptomt of worms;
for so surely as they exist, can they be
SAFELY AND CERTAINLY
removed from the most DELICATE INFANT
by the timely use of
B. A. FAHNESTOCK’S VKBMIFIIOK.
; It is perfectly harmless, contains no Mer.
cury, being a
Purely VEGETABLE Composition
And may be administered with tho UTMOST
SAFETY TO CHILDREN OF ALL AGES.
Worm Confections, made more tor the pur
pose of pleasing the palate than of overcoming
the disease, have been manufactured all over
the country, but their short lease of life is
nearly exhausted, and B. A. Fahnestock’s Ver
rniluge continues to grow in favor daily.
CAUTION.
Should occasion require you to purchase B A
Fahnestock’s Vermifuge, be particularly care
ful to see that the Initials are H. A. This is
the article that has been so
FAVOBABLY KNOWN BINIK 1829,
And purchasers must Insist on having It, 11
they do not wish to have an Imitation forced
upon them.
