VALEDICTION.
Albeit the word above-written is not the one
mosllj employed In this connection, the writer
hereof makes bold to go a little beyond the limits
of usage. Technically speaking, a “ valedictory ’
is a farewell oration —a set speech ol stilted rhet
oric—a dignified adieu—wherein the pedantry of
scholarship usually gets the better of honest ex
pression. Such a thing does not come within the
scope ol the writer’s present intentions. He simp
ly desires to say a few words ol farewell in the
courteous old fashion, with no affectation of stage
step or manner, but with a touch of that hearty
regret which rieea in the hearts of honest, earnest
men, when they strike hands perhaps for the last
time.
It is not without serious deliberation that the
writer has allowed The Advertiser to pass from
his control. The paper has been his pet and his
pnde, and It has been his constant endeavor to
bring it ap to a standard that should not be sur
passed by any provincial weekly in the South.
That bia labors to this end have uot been wholly
in vain, is due to the very generous patronage
which his Journal has received. The Advertiser
occupies a conspicuous position among the press,
and has received many flattering encomiums from
various sources.
The editorial columns of the paper, under
the control of the writer, have been devoted to
the material Interests of Forsyth, of Monroe coun
ty, and of the State; and the line of policy pursued
has Invariably been that which, in the judge
ment of its proprietor, would ledown to the credit
of the country and the welfare of the people. In
many instances —especially in several local issues,
the course of the paper has been In conflict with
the opinions and wishes of some of Its best
friends, and on one or two occasions some very
sharp controversy has been the result This Is
perhaps, for many reasons, to be regretted. The
opposition of the writer was by no means cap
tious, but, on the contrary, was the result of a
sincere and disinterested desire to advance the
public weal and protect the county credit It was
his intention to pander to no personal prejudice;
and he haa endeavored, to the best of hla poor
ability, to treat the questions referred to, and all
other public questions, in a spirit of argumenta
tive fairness and candor.
Looking back upon the past, be can see that his
Judgment has been often at fault and bis conclu
sions hasty. It could not well have been other
wise. In the gush of good feeling which usually
precedes leave-takings, and which, happily for us
all, Is sometimes of a detersive character, it is not
at all improper or unmanly to allow matters to
take a confessional turn, and hence, when the
writer hereof, in extenuation of the many errors
he has committed, pleads lack of time to mature
his thoughts and want of opportunity to elaborate
them he Is but following a genial custom of the
olden time—an amiable weakness indeed—that
allows by-gones to be by-gones and that is willing
to drown old differences In the last parting
beaker. For, on reviewing the course of Thi
Advertiser, from its inception to the present
time, the writer feels that he assuredly has some
thing to be proud of. Although errors of omis
sion and commission confront him at every turn
with mournful distinctness, he feels that be has
been, in some degree, Instrumental in promoting
the prosperity of the town and county, and in
contributing, substantially, to the general public
welfare.
Tub Advertiser is to day one of the most
profitable newspaper establishments in the South,
and has a circulation and a notoriety much larger
than is usually attained by publications of its
class. The gentlemen to whom the paper has
been sold, and who will hereafter conduct it, are
well known in this community, and it is hardly
necessary for the out-going proprietor to cordially
commend them to the good graces of his friends
everywhere.
It would be multiplying words uselessly for the
writer to say how grateful he it to those friends
who, from first to last, in all conjunctures, have
devoted themselves to the Interests of his paper.
To them, In a great measure, is due the success of
the enterprise, and their disinterested devotion
will always be cherished as a most precious
remembrance.
Our Brethren ot the Fraternity, with whom the
most pleasant relatione have always existed, we
leave, for a time, with regret; and for their many
kind offices shall ever cherish the fondest emo
tions.
It is such a pleasing and gratefal task to allude
to these things that the ptn seems slipping away
into interminable digressions. But, as after the
morning comes the evening, after the sermon the
benediction, so comes the honr ol farewell. The
dear hands must be wrung, the last words mu.it be
said—therefore the writer hereof sends forth this
his valediction.

To the Public.
The public has been advised of a change in the
proprietary interests ol The Advertiser. Tbs
transfer occurred on the 7th inst That a distinct
announcement of the tact was not made heretofore,
we can only say was owing to circumstances tkit
imperatively prevented in By devoting our whole
time and energy to Thi Advertiser we hops to
secure for it a continuance of its hitherto meri
torious character. It is believed by the Propri
etors and Publishers of The Advhrtiser that
such arrangements have been made as will continue
to bold the journal iu the front rank of its con
temporaries—to hereafter warrant Its being styled,
as heretofore, Tat Premium Weexlt News
paper op Georgia. With reliance in the dis
crimination of the public, and our own steadfast
determination to furnish a dignified and high
toned journal, we ask for The Advertiser e
cordial support and endorsement.
Mr. Cart A. Kino is the Business and Trav
elling Agent of this office, and is authorized to
make contracts for Subscriptions, Advertisements,
Job Work, etc., and receipt for all dues to the
offl ce.
As additional arrangements are made due notice
will be given.

To the Reader* of the Advertiser.
With ibis issue of The Advertise* we assume
control of its Editorial Department. Usage and
courtesy demands that those who hereafter con
trol its editorial columns should, in advance,
enunciate the " rule and guida of thalr faith,” and
declare the policy they expect to pursue.
Under the control of eur predecessor, Mr. Jab.
P. Harrison, The Advertiser attained a proud
position among the Journals of the State. I.s In
fluence, local and general, was felt and apprecia
ted, and its prominence among Its contemporaries
deserved. By his energy and judgment in the
conduct of Lis Journal, Mr. Harrison created for
himself an extended and enviable reputation, and
his many friends in Monroe county will regret to
miss him from their midst. We extend to him
our beet wishes for success In any new field cl
labor ha may select.
In the field upon which we have entered we
confess to be an inexperienced laborer. It la be
lieved, however, that close observation, earnest
efforts, and a determination to succeed in perform
ing all that duty requires in the conduct of this
department of Thr Advertiser, will insure to
its readers an appreciative and meritorious paper.
This realous eflort is confidently pledged at the
outset. We will be independent in discussing alt
public issues. We shall speak our opinion with
dne deference to all sides. Our management of
its columns will not be dictated, nor our counsels
to Its readers suggested, by others, unless s
suggestion made is, after consideration, deemed
proper to be followed. Claiming independence,
the right to think, write and publish opinions
upon all Issues that may be presented, of a general
or local nature, vhich involve, directly or indi
rectly, the interests or good of the people at large,
it unequivocally reserved, and no infringement
upon this prerogative will be permitted. When
Peace, Justice and Mercy reign, their rule will be
supported and commended; when Persecution,
Confusion end Anarchy appear to disturb the
public welfare and tranquility, opposition and
denunciation will follow. Conspiracy, Rascality
or Corruption will be met boldly, and expoeed
without " fear, favor or affection.” We ahall
discard ordinary prejudices, unnecessary dis
tentions and avoid trivial aud unprofitable bick
erings. By a cautious observance of these rules,
and an exhibition of proper courtesy to all oppo
nents and respect for their honest convictions, we
confidently believe that we will best secure “ the
greatest good to the greatest number.” If w
succeed in this, ocoasioual grumblers can accom
plish no barm.
In the discussion and support of political ques
tions, as tboy are now presented for public consid
eratlon, we shall earnestly advocate the principles
of Conservative Democracy. The triumphs of
the principles and policy of this party, we believe,
can only Insure the prosperity of our Btate and
the South. The grand conception of popular
government, we conceive, haa been endangered.
Centralization of power in the general govern
men; baa reared its front and la assiduously at
work. We shall support original principles and
Eealou ily oppose their antagonisms.
This line of conduct Is pledged to the full extent
it can be followed. The journalist has a delicate
duty to perform. All men are liable to err, not
only in conduct, but also in judgment. Perfection
is not expected by any general and intelligent
reader. Therefore we invite a candid scrutiny and
ask s generons verdict at the hand* ol tho public.
With tbia brief outline as to what will be the
future course of The Advertiser, our banner is
flung to the breeze and a cordial support invited
from all. Wm. D. Stone.
The Senate has passed a bill, by a vote of 2j;
yeas to 14 nays, to provide for paying off the
public debt of the State. Tbe bill sets forth that
from and after the first day of April next, the en
tire proceeds and net income which tbe State
hall, from time to time, derive from the Western
and Atlantic Railroad, either as rental from the
present lessees, or in whatever form it may be
derived from said road, shall constitute a fund
which shall be used exclusively for the purpose of
paying off tbe public debt to be used as follows:
•0 soon as tbe sum of 925,000 shall be paid into
the Treasury of the State from said road after the
first day of April next, it shall be the dnty of the
State Treasurer, under the direction of the Gov
ernor, to use said $20,000 In the purchase of the
valid and recognized bonda of this State, which
bonds shall be purchased at the lowest price at
which they can be bad In tbe markets of the
country ; aud as each successive $25,000 shall be
paid Into tbe State Treasury from said road, it
shall be used in the purchase of tbe legal bonds
of this State, in like manner as is heretofore pre
scribed for the use of the first $25,000.
The Legislature is considering a bill to provide
a school fund, which will greatly decrease the
efficiency of the school law and embarrass the
friends of education, unless general taxation is
resorted to. The bill passed by the Senate pro
vides that all proceeds from poll tax, liquor tax,
and tax ou all classes of exhibitions, and all other
sources heretofore included in the Public School
Fund bill except tbe $150,000 from the earnings of
the Western aud Atlantic Railroad, shall consti
tute a Public School Fund. It further provides
that as fast as the bonds of the State are cancelled
by purchase as provided in the bill for paying of!
the public debt, bonds of the same amount shall
be issued due in 100 years, bearing 7 per cent, in
terest, the prsceeds of which shall be appropria
ted to educational purposes. The bill passed
without much opposition.
Thi World’s Washington correspondent says:
The Senate Committee on Political Disabilities
held a meeting at which Senator Hill, of Georgia,
was present. It was agreed that the name of
Thomas Hardeman, of Macon, Georgia, against
whom objections was made by the United States
District Attorney for having aided in some illegal
transactions, should be taken from the bill, which
Senator Hill has In charge. Several names were
added to the bill. Among them those of Messrs.
Crawford and Gartrell, of Georgia, ex-Congress
men, and Good Bryan, formerly a lieutenant in
the army; also, the name of ex-Governor Graham
of North Carolina, and Messrs. Craig, Smith and
Ash, of that State, all of whom, except the latter,
were members of Congress.
The Senate ot Georgia, by a decided majority
has postponed the bill to decrease the number of
Judlc a] circuit* in the State. The motion to
indiflnitely postpone the measure was supported
by Messrs. Anderson, Amow, Csin, Carter, De
veanx, Erwin, Estes, Gilmore, Eillysr, Btbbee,
Lester, Nicholls, Payne, Peavey, Reese, Simmons,
Btesdman, Winn, Wofiord. Yeas 90. The nega
tives were Messrs. Brinberry, Crawford, Cone,
Hester, Hudson, Jervis, Kirkland, Knight, W.
P. Mathew*, Mattox, McAfee. Nays 11. This
settles the question for this session, unless quite
a number of Senators make a complete change of
buse
The Southern Watchman thus refers to the
appearance of Mr. Stephens in the Presa Conven
tion : “ Among the new members—of whom there
waa a large number—we were pleased to see the
Bon. A. H. Stephens, who delivered a short and
stirring address, on being invited to participate in
onr counsels. It will be seen that any gentleman
of good moral character—“ regardless of former
condition’’—even though he may have been a
member of Congress, United Statee Senator or
even Vice-President—is, without difficulty, ad
mitted to the ranks.’*
The Telegraph and Messer ger of Bnndsy
morning contradicts the many exagerated rumor*
of the prevalence of small pox and meningetis in
our city. Bat one case c f the former disease ex
ists, and every precaution has been taken to pre
vent its propagation. The latter, too, has been
almost exclusively confined to the student* of
the University, who have all left for their homes,
save Mr. Daniel and those too ill to be removed.
No new cases of thi* wofuAnalady are reported.
The Secretary of State directs that so person
be permitted to enter the building occupied by
the Department of State, in whose family the
smallpox exists, nor who have been directly ex
posed to contagion, unless they produce a certifi
cate from the board ot health that there is no
danger of communicating the disease to those with
whom they may come in contact.
Oar Kelt United Stale* Senator.
The eont eat for Senatonhip to over, and Geaend
John B. Gordon baa bee* selected to represent the
great and growing interest ol Georgia In the Sen
ate of the United States, tor the six years succeed
ing the 4th of March, 1873, when the term for
which Hon. Joshua Hlil was elected will expire.
The record of General Gordon is familiar to al 1.
Asa soldier in the field—next as a candidate of the
Conservative element of Georgia for gubernatorial
honor*, be bore himself honorably. Of his sibse
quent efforts to promote the public good, every
general reader has been advised. That he will
fully comprehend the fact that great interests have
been intrusted to his judgment, we have no ques
tion.
The brilliant military career ol General Gordon
brought him prominently forward, long before he
became known as a political leader. Indeed, we
may say the first caused the last. His services in
the field made hit name “ familiar as a household
word,” and the result was his election last week
to represent Georgia in tbe United States Senate.
His lsadicg opponent, Mr. Stephens, is one who
his friends could only urge bad " done the State
some service” in the past. His political wisdom
and discretion was not questioned during the can
vaas for the Senatonhip. Tbe purity of bis pri
vate character to univenally admitted, aud that he
did not succeed many will regret, while at the
same time they will leel proud of the high char
acter of his competitor. The people ot Georgia
accord the meed of able and unselfish statesman
ship to the recluse of “ Liberty Hall.” General
Gordon has rendered them chivalrous and valuable
services. Whether the decision made last week
was the wisest, it to now useless to discuss. Tbe
one Is destined to devote his energies in behalf
of the public as has been indicated by the repre
sentatives ef tbe people. We hope tbe other may
soon be chosen to appear in another, yet none the
lees honorable field—the House of Representatives
of tbe United States. Of this we see signs in the
political horizon. We believe the great pulse ol
tbe country can be soonest reached through the
popular branch of the people’s servants, aud sin
cerely hope Mr. Stephen’s eminent qualifications
and services may be unanimously recognised by
the electors ot the Eighth District at the special
Congressional election.
800 and Farming Bcbhavs.— Sunset Cox made
a characteristic speech in the House of Represen
tatives the other day In ridicule of the Depart
ment of Agriculture, and particularly of the
"Bureau of tbe Microscope,” which has been
recently made an integral part thereof. Cox’s
speech on entomology in politics convulsed the
Honse with laughter, and he wound up by send
ing to the Clerk a slip from tbe Philadelphia
Sunday Dispatch, requesting the Clerk to read It
tvrg • louly. The Clerk read ( conexpresiione) as
follows:
“We owe our tbAnk* to judge Kelley for the
latest Pstent Office Reports. We already have
sixteen hundred of these Interesting volumes in
our little library, but they have been read and re
read so many times that we know every page of
them by heart. Tbia new volume came oppor
tunely and gratefully on Christmas morning, and
that night we gathered our little family aronnd
the fire and read it through to them. The affect
ing tale entitled ‘lmprovement in Monkey Wren
ches,’ seemed to touch every heart, f laughter] aud
when we came to the climax of tne little story
about 'Reversible Pieboards,’ there was not a dry
eye between the front door and the stable.
[Laughter.] During the reading of the piteous
narrative entitled “Gum Washers for Carriage
Axles,* the whole family gave expression to bids
terous emotion, and the hired girl was so much
excited that she lost her presence of mind and
went around to her mother’s inadvertently with
six pounds of sngar and a butter kettle lull of
flour, and eame home at midnight intoxicated.
[Laughter.] W# can never sufficiently thank
Judge Kelley for the Innocent enjoyment thus
tarnished us. The memory of that hapoy evening
will linger In onr minds very much longer than
that hired girl evter lingers when she lights on a
lot ol substance which she thicks will suit tbe
constitution ot her aged parent.” [Great laughter.]
Another terrible ocean disaster occurred on
the 21st. The emigrant ship Worth Fleet, with
412 passengers, exclusive of her crew, collided
with an unknown steamer. Only eighty-five per
sons are known to be saved. Others are believed
to be lost. The passengers of the North Fleet
were awakened to suddenly by the collision that
a fearful panic was the consequence, and they were
wild with terror. So great was the confusion that
the captain of the vessel was compelled to fire
upon them in order to attract their attention and
enforce obedience to his orders. It it believed
that had the passengers obeyed the captain more
of them would have been saved from a horrible
death.
In his evidence before the Credit Mobiler Com
mittee, Oakes Ames shows that he has regained
his memory and has recovered his note book. He
is evidently bent on making a clean breast of all
he knows concerning this matter and the Con
gressmen connected therewith, and of having
pocketed a few small dividends. He has virtually
charged Vice President Schuyler Colfax with per
jury. He also made sad havoc of the statement
and explanation recently offered by Messrs. Kelly
and Garfield, of the House, to the Committee.
The Constitution gives us this comforting para
graph, provided it be realised:
We learn that a project is on foot for the general
government to donate a hundred millioie of dol
lars to the Southern States to par off tha State
debts and remove the ravages of the war. The
project is said to originate with the leading capi
talists of the North.

opened, and to prospect for more.
Colonel Jambs P. Simmons, of Gwinnett, has
notified Governor Smith, that he is not an appli

end that he could not, at this time, accept the
office if tendered him. He is impelled to this
course from motives of a business character.

Bouse was large and enthusiastic. In response
to the call Gen. Gordon appeared and addressed
those present as follows.
Fellow Citizens: This occasion calls for the
profonndest expression of mygraiitnde, and I feel
scarcely able to give adequate expression to the
feelings that this unexpected and gratifying occa
sion arouses in my bea’t.
You have honored me with yenr confidence,
and have chosen me to represent Georgia In the
Senate ot the United States, the bulwark of the
Republic, where the expression ot the will ot a
free people is likely to be warped, and the dignity
; and wisdom of tbe Republic holds its firmest
: sway.
But the contest for this most honorable position
: in the retrospect, is not altogether free frum pain.
1 found my name in competition with that ot Hon.
Alexander H. Stephens, justly called the " Great
Commoner;” a name Illustrious, a name fa mil
iar to us and the country, and ieverberated tor
the last 40 yers. And such years ! Forty years
cl unswerving devotion to the rights of the peo
ple. An ordeal ot principle, of unflinching pa
triotism that will be venerated as long as time
lasts—a precious legacy o posterity forever 1 I
also came in contact, during the earnest, w.th the
name of tue Hon. B. H. Hill, my illustrious
friend, of whom it is enough to say that he is the
author ot the world famous Notes on the Situa
tion, the begle notes of liberaty, which flisl
sounded the alarm to onr countrymen, and
! aroused them irom their lethargy, to battle lor
their rights and maintain the dignity ot constitu
tional independence, a noble deed which our
countrymen will not forget. I also came iD con
tact with my generous Learted and noble friend,
Col. Fielder, a mau wnom the whole people love
and reupect, and wnose life is devoted to the wel
fare an. progress ot onr dear old commonw alth.
Again thanking you, I feei compelled to to declare
that I have not sought to depreciate the intellect
or fair fame of my competitors; had I done so
the result would not have given pleasure to my
heart.
I feel the responsibility of the trust imposed
upon me by my people, but calmly, hopetully
accept the great’ trust given into my keeping,
With the confident hope that the duties thus im
posed will be performed to the best ot my ability,
aud that my course, in tbe sphere in wnicb yonr
will haa placed me, will be such as not to impair
tbe confidence you have given me in the past. In
conclusion, fellow citizens, allow me again to
express my sincerest thanks.
