THURSDAY. AUGUST 12, 1875.
E\rlßAlil\.
The political outlook continues
encouraging. The Gubernatorial
contest in Kentucky has resulted
in a grand Democratic triumph. In
that State, as is generally known,
party lines were distinctly drawn,
and the contest was waged upon
issues of vital moment—the great
principles of States Rights or Local
Self-government as opposed to Rad
icalism and Centralism. It is true
that Kentucky has always been
Democratic, but in this campaign,
when no local issues were present
ed and the canvass was made upon
strictly party linos, the fact that she
roolled up a largely increased Dem
ocratic majority is indeed cbeertng
and gives promise of a glorious fu
ture. Two other Southern States—
Alabnroa and Texas,— whoro elec
tions have recently been held for
■delegates to Constitutional Conven
tions, send up tidings of great joy.
The Democrats have secured ma
jorities in each State, and the abom
inations engrafted upon their Con
stitutions by scalawags and carpct
baggers will soon be lopped off,and
the organic law revised and made
to conform to the great fundamen
tal principles upon which rest all of
freedom worth the nnmo. South
Carolina and Louisiana only of the
Southern States remain shackled.
May we not hope that by and by
they too will shako the manacles
from their limbs and rejoice in
songs of deliverance.
Ignitor and Profit of Forming
in Gcorgin.
The State Bureau of Agriculture,
under the able management of Dr.
T. P. Janes, is doing an immense
amount of good. The Commission
er and his subordinates are inde
fatigable in their labors. From
the last monthly report issued by
the Department, we gather the fol
lowing interesting facts as to the
condition of labor and the average
profits from farming in Georgia :
The average price paid male la
borers on the farm is 810 per month
and board; women So 50 and
board.
Twenty-eight per cent, of able
bodied negro women labor on the
farm—Sixty-onc per cent, of the
correspondents say they are not
willing to cook and do house work,
and 39 percent, say they will.
Thirty-eight per cent, of the cor
respondents soy onc-third of the
crop is'paid for labor; 42 per cent.,
1; 12 per cent., *of the corn and |
of the cotton; and 8 per cent., say
one-fourth.
Twenty per cent, report, when
land is rented for the crop, one
third is required; 72 per cent., one
third of the corn and one-fourth of
tbo cotton, riul 8 per -cent., one
fourth of all.
When land is rented for cotton,
73 per cent., say one-fourth, or i
hales to the plow is required; 19
per cent, less than this, and 8 per
cent. more.
When land is rented for mo*ey
$3 per acre i3 required.
Labor is as good and a majority
report more efficient than last year
26.4 1 per cent, of labor is hired
for wages; 48.85 per cent, for part
of crop; 25 percent, rent land; and
11.25 of renters cam farm without
financial assistance.
.Fifty-two per cent, say wago3,
has proved most profitable; 24 per
-cent. say cropping, and 24 per cent
say renthqg.
The average per cent, of profit
made by farming is reported at
3.11 per cent. Many correspon
dents report that farmers do not
know whether they make or lose.
Some report as high as 25 per cent,
profit, while others report as much
as 10 per cent. loss.
The Constitution states that the
expense of running the State Gov
ernment for the month of July foot
ed up $47,672 88 Of this amount
925,635 47 was for the civil estab
lishment ; 84,12*5 for the Deaf ana
Dumb Asylum; $3,338 for the
State Geologist; $2,992 83 for pub
lic buildings; 83,250 for Academy
for the Blind; and $3,157 for the
public debt

Colored Mulilialli School Cele
bration.
Mr. Editor, —I take great pleas
ure in stating, that the Sunday
School Celebration held on Warren
Andrews’ plantation, by the color
ed people, on tho 23rd ult., was a
grand success. Having ntterided
many Sunday School celebrations
in my life, I can truthfully say,
that this one passed off as quietly
and as peaceably as any I ever at
tended.
This Sunday School was estab
lished early in the spring, by Will
iam Kinnebrew, a colored man,
who is farming on Mr. Andrews’
plantation,and has prospered won
derfully ever since. William is a
great admirer of Sunday Schools,
and labors faithfully to brin" up
tho young in the way in which they
should go. Having succeeded re
markably well in carrying on the
Sunday School ever since it was
established, he concluded to have a
celebration; which met tho hearty
approval both of the teachers and
the [pupils. Consequently they
went to work and set apart the 23d
ult., as the day for the celebration.
The Sunday School having been
called together at 9 o’clock, a. rn.,
tho exercises were opened with
prayer by the Rev. 11. M. Wordall.
The Superintendent then stated tho
object of the celebration, and re
quested all to be quiet during the
exercises. The pupils were well
trained and acquitted themselves
finely. The singing was extraor
dinary, and the speeches wero well
delivered. At 2 o’clock, p. m., it
was announced that dinner was
ready, when all were invited to the
table, where there was a plenty of
nicely barbecued shoat, mutton and
kid, besides "various other things
that had been prepared for the din
ner. After dinner, the Sunday
School sang several beautiful songs.
Then some of the old members wero
called uponanl short made speech
es. [The exercises were then closed
with prayer by the Superintendent.
This Sunday School consists of
about fifty pupils, and its first cele
bration did much credit both to the
teachers and the pupils. There was
an immense crowd, and all seemed
to have been impressed with the so
lemnity of tho occasion. Not a
word out of the way was uttered
by any one during tho day ; but
the behavior of all was such as be
comes tho people on such an occa
sion.
It is very encouraging to see the
colored people take so much inter
est in Sunday Schools, and instead
of epending their leisure time in
idleness, spend it in tho cultivation
of the mind, and the acquisition of
useful knowledge. No ono knows
the good that wo can do by oncour
aging these people to study the Bi
ble,which not only teaches in what
true happiness consists, but also
the virtues and duties, by which
it may bo attained. History proves
that no country, however great it
may bo iD some respects, if it is
weak in morality, intelligence, and
civilization, can ever prosper to
the same degree, as other countries
that possess theso characteristics.
America would now be what China
is, were it not for her religious in
stitutions, and the religious princi
ples that have been taught her peo
ple. It is not lofty mountains,
magnificent landscapes, beautiful
valleys and majestic rivers, that
make a country prosperous; but
it is religion and religious institu-•
tions. We would have never
emerged from>the abyss cf darkness
had it not been for the religious in
stitutions that have been establish
ed throughout our land, and the in
structions we Jiave received from
the Bible that made known to us
the Saviour of tho world.
The colored people of this sec
tion arc doing better this year than
they have done since the emancipa
tion. Let us encourage them in
Sunday Schools and all other good
works, and when they are thor
oughly convinced of the fact, that
the white man is their friend, and
that he will do them justico, aud
will give them all their rights, they
will be governed more by his ad
vice, and will not listen to the false
doctrines of their pretended friends
who do all they can to alienate
them from the Southern man, their
only true friend.

For the Herald.
Tlie Changed I’olilical Senti
ment.
Mr, Editor, —The revival of tho
celebration of the 4th of July, and
the proposed great Centennial at
Philadelphia (intended as a grand
celebration of the 100th anniversary
of American Independence, togeth
er with the many favorable express
ions relating thereto from the wisest
most sagacious and discreet states
men in Georgia, and of the whole
Union, show beyond cavil that the
political sentiment of the whole
country is changing.
The sad past too truly tells that
division brings weakness—“ln
union there’s strength.”
In proof of the intended signifi
cance of an observance of the last
4th of July at Atlanta, we quote
from the letter of that distinguish
ed statesman and jurist, ex-Gov
ernor Ilerschel Y. Johnson, in
1860, the political ally of tho great
renowned and lamented Stephen A.
Douglas, whose election as Presi
dent and vice-President, .probably
would have saved us from the hor
rors of civil war.
“If I am not mistaken the cele
bration you propose, has an impor
tant and interesting significance.—
It is Intended as a manifestation of
the desire of the people of Georgia
that the bitterness between tho two
sections engendered by the lato
war shall cease. This is right. —
Let the assurance go out from the
Capital of the State, that she is
willing to extend practical greet
ings to the people of every section,
who agree to stand by tho great
principles of public liberty and
maintain the Federal Union of
States based upon them as defined
in the Constitution.”
This being the significance, what
a demonstration favoring the sub
stitution of Peace and Good Will
for discord and bitterness is made
by the approval of the following
distinguished Georgia,
touching the observance of the 99th
anniversary of American Indepen
dence at Atlanta ; lion. Alexan
der H. Stephens, llis Excellency
James M. Smith, ex-Gov. Joseph
E. Brown, Ilerschel Y. Johnson,
and Charles J. Jenkins, every
member to Congress from Georgia,
we believe, has given evidences of
this approval, as have nearly, if
not all, of the Judges of our Su
perior Courts of tho State. IVhat
a great change in the political sen
timent ? What reasons for every
citizen’s encouraging reeoncilia
tion !
In point of political significance,
that of tho Centennial at Philadel
phia next May, is intended to unite
the whole people of tho United
States. It is believed that repre
sentatives will be there from every
Nation on the face of the earth—
that probably five or ten millions
of peoplo will visit the grand Cen
tennial from the time of its open
ing to its close, and what a grand
subliino demonstration will he made
to all the representatives of the dif
ferent Nations of the globe, when
our representatives from Georgia,
from tho entire South, and from
the whole Union proclaim that,
though in war tho people of the
United States wero enemies, now
they are as truly friends—ready to
defend the stars and stripes the
heritage bequeathed to them by the
blood of our Revolutionary sires,
who so gallantly achieved for us
American Independence.
Then the representatives of our
common country can truly pro
claim ours a united country of law
and order, and can invite with
great assurance of complaisance,the
the capitalist to come with his mo
ney and buy our lands made sur
plus by tho abolition of slavery
Likewise invite tho miner to come
and develop our rich mines of gold,
copper and other valuable miner
als ; also ivite the laborer to come
with his muscle to till our soil and
even receive the oppressed with
outstretched arms to come to this
their Asylum. This desideratum
being readved as a glorious result
of reconciliation, we then can with
| truth and prido and pleasure, cx
j claim, “Ours is the loveliest land
j oti the face of the earth, and will
! yet blossom as the rose !”

UItEAT FLOOD I\ THE
WEST.
Heavy Damiige to the Crops
in the Ohio A alley.
Interruption to Railroad Travel in In
diana—Two Lives Lost in the Wa
bash—Alarming Overflow of the
Mississippi River.
Cincinnati, Aug. s.—lt is- difficult
at this time to form more than a rough
estinate of tho damage done to the
crops by the rains and overflows in the
Ohio Valley, but it is believed that it
will be quite heavy. The wheat crop suf
fered severely by the cold weather in
the spring, andjhalf of what was plant
ed was winter killed. Ofthe remainder
it is believed that one-third is hopeless
ly lost, and the remaining two-thirds
partially damaged, though it is believed
the damage will bo much less then is
generally expected. The acreage of
wheat sown was larger than that oflast
year, and the relative yield, compared
with last year, will be fifty percent less.
The chief damage to corn is in the
river bottoms, where the crop [is a total
loss. That portion planted on high
ground has suffered principally from be
ing broken down. The acreage was much
greater last year, and the prospects be
fore the flood were favorable for an un
usually heavy crop. It is now thought
that there will be a fair average crop,
not much, if any, less than last year.
Much depends, however,upon favorable
weather for the remainder of the season.
' he oat crop has suffered more severely
than either wheat or corn, having been
beaten flat, and so badly damaged that
it will be impossible to harvest it. The
percentage saved will be very small.
Barley snffered severely from the cold
weather, and hut little was growing. Of
this grain tho quantity saved in a condi
tion for malting will he comparatively
insignificant. Hay promises a partial
crop, bnt ofittferior quality, should fa
vorable weather follow. Much had been
left out uncut, and was rendered nearly
worthless by'the rains.
THE DAMAGE IN INDIANA.
Terre Haute, Aug. s.—The Wabash
is slowly falling. The fist mail from the
East since Saturday came in last night
Trains will not run through from Indi
anapolis without transfer for a week.
The Logansport and Terre Ilaute Rail
road will not be able to run trains
through for two weeks or more. Trains
will probably get through to Danville,
by transferring, on Monday. Trains are
running regularly ou the Illinois, Mid
land and Evansville Railroads, transfers
being made between this city and St.
Louis. On both the_Yandalia and Indi
anapolis, and St. Louis and Yandalia,
between Jicrc and Indianapolis, trains
will be run to-morrow, transferring at
two places. The Cincinnati Railroad
will he able to run trains by the middle
of next week. The Express of this
afternoon estimates that the loss
to crops and the destruction of
property in fourteen counties'tributa
ry to Terre Haute,at not less than $12,-
000,000. There is profound discour
agement among all classes.
No very reliable estimate of the ag
gregate loss to the wheat, corn, and
other crops in the State can be made
at present. In some sections the esti
mated damage is forty per cent., in
others a much greater percentage, and
iu many localities the entire crop is
destroyed. From the most reliable in
formation the loss in the central and
southern portion of the State will ag
gregate fifty to sixty per cent, of the
entire crop. In the lowlands along the
Wabash river it has been estimated
that 200,000 acres of corn has been en
tirely destroyed by the flood, which
alone at sls per acre would aggregate
$3,000,000. ,
The loss of the crops in Tippecanoe
county is estimated at $500,000, and
io Carroll, Warren, and Fountain coun
ties $250,000 eaeh.
Memphis, August 5.—A heavy rain
storm prevails this morning. The re
ports from above this city state that the
plantations on Islands Numbers Ten
aDd Thirty-five arc being submerged,
and at New Madrid the flood is run
ning through the sunken lands to St.
Francis Valley. The water here is
high, rising steadily,[and slowly en
croaching on the exposed plantations
below here. The crevasse at De Soto
front has been repaired. The planters
between here and Helena are working
hard to protect their lands. A private
dispatch from Pine Bluff, Art., says
the river rose six inches this morning
and within four feet of high water
mark. A telegram from Little Rock,
Ark., reports another rise in the river
with twenty-five feet on the guage.
The Signal Service tables show that
twenty-five feet on that guage floods
the lower Arkansas Valley.
Capt. Japliu of the steamer Frank
Forrest estimates that one-half of the
corn crop along the river between here
and Osceola is ruined, and fully one
fifth of the cotton crop, with the water
slowly and steadily encroaching upon
the cotton lands below here. On the
Mississippi side very little damage has
been done, and planters are still hope
ful, and busily engaged in strengthen,
ing the levees, but on the Arkansas
side, where the lands are unprotected,
the damage already done is consider
able, and planters generally arc unable
to do anything to avert the danger. It
is feared that the freshet in the Arkan
sas river will cause great damage to fine
planting lands where it meets the back
water from the Mississippi.
* Penitentiary Statistics.
[Atlanta Herald.]
We are'indebted to the courtesy of
Col. John T. Brown, Principal Keeper
of the Penitentiary, for the information
promptly and courteously given in an
swers to our inquiries, which we present
below:
The wholo number of convicts is
about 800; one-tenth of these are
whites. The ratio is one of decrease in
the number of white convicts and an
increase of colored. Of the 800, there
are thirty women—one of whom is a
white woman, from this city, convicted
of murder.
The rates of mortality for this year
are about the same as last. There
were forty deaths, out of 700, reported
last year, for the whole year. For the
seven months of the present year there
have been 30 deaths out of 800. The
health of the various gangs through
the State has improved considerably of
late. Those at work on farms are the
healthiest, but the percentage of escapes
is greater.
The number of escapes, so far, is
twenty five; one-third less than last
year. Greater efficiency in capturiug
those who make their escape is appar
ent.
W A heavy increase is anticipated the
coming fall. Courts will soon be in
session,'and jails are full all over the
State. In the month of July, this
year, there were nineteen brought in,
against two in 1873 and four in 1874,
for the same month. There are many
young negroes brought in; some ns
young as ten years, and a number
fourteen and fifteen years old.
The distribution at present is as fol
lows :
In Washington county there are 130
on farms, leased by Col. T. J. Smith
and Col. Taylor.
At the Dade Coal Mines there are
200.
In the brick yard at Iceville there
are 75.
At the Bartow Iron Works there are
57, raising iron ore.
At Ridge Valley Iron Works there
are 55, raising iron ore and chopping
wood.
Three and a half miles from Atlanta,
towards Decatur, Col. T. J. Howard
has 40, making brick.
At the Kaolin Works, in Baldwin
county, there are 54.
At’Elberton there are 67.
On the Northeastern Railroad there
are 35.
On the Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad there are 96.
This makes 819, but there have been
some discharges recently. The whole
number is 802.
Tlie Witchery of Planner.
Almost every man can recall
scores of cases, within his knowl
edge, where pleasing manners have
made the fortunes of lawyers, doc
tors, divines, merchants, and in
short, men in every walk of life, —
Raleigh flung down his laced coat
m the mud for Elizabeth to walk
on, and got for his rew'ard a proud
queen’s favor. The politician who
has this advantage easily distances
all rival candidates, for every vo
ter he speaks with becomes instant
ly his friend. The tones in which
he asks for a pinch are often more
potent than the logic of a Webster
or a Clay. Polished manners have
often made scoundrels successful,
while the best of men, by their
hardness and coldness, have done
themselves incalculable injury;
the shell being so rough that the
world could not believe there was a
precious kernel within. Civility is
to a man what beauty is to a wo
man. It creates an instantaneous
impression in his behalf, while the
opposite quality excites as quick a
prejudice against him. It is a real
ornament, worth more as a means
of winning favor than the finest
clothes and jewels ever worn. The
gruffest man loves to be apprecia
ted ; and it is often the sweet smile
of a woman, which we think intend
ed for us alone, that bewitches our
heart, and lays us at the feet of her
whom we afterward marry.-[Home

Superior Court, April 29th, 1875

Fast Them Out.
If there are any diseases which deserve
the name demoniac, Dyspepsia is one off
them. It racks and tears the system like a.
veritable fiend, and renders life a burden..
The medicines of the Dispensary will not
expel it. Cast it out with Dr. Walker’s--
Vegetable Bitters. There is no form of in
digestion or liver complaint that can with
stand this potent, tonic and alterative. The
newly discovered California roots and
herbs, from which it is prepared, arc of
more value to mankind than all the gold of
the Pacific States. aug.s,lß7s—lnn
