Hatohinsbillc gtspatrj}. By Goorge P* Woods. H.V\VKINSYII.I.K, OA-, .IAN S3, 187* ncr has beer." »ud confirmed Chief.! the Supreme Court •r this State. lie will fill the office to the" entire satisfaction of our people. Tim New School Law.—Senator Kilibcc has placed us under obliga tions for a copy of the law passed by last' session of the Legislature estab lishing public schools in the state. We will publish the whole or a syn opsis es the net in our next issue. Xjfxt Meeting of the Loisla ti h*.—irThe General Assembly »d --j our tie Adas t week to meet again the third Wa dnesday in July. Much needed legislation is yet unpro vided for the welfare of our people. Pcsuo Parem. —We are indebted to Capt R. W. Andersen fora** Re port.oftlie Committee on the Man* sgqment of the Western and Atlantic Railroad. It is a pamplet of thirty three pages, and although wc have not gi\>.‘u it a close perusal, we are satisfied it makes astonishing reve* lations in the matter of the misman agement of the Road and misappro priation of its earings during Blod gett’s administration. The Commit tee will continue their investigations and make a more complete report at next session of the Legislature. Rtfcnpino or Cotton Tax. —The Governor of Missouri has sent a spe cial 'message to the Legislature rec ommending the adoption of a memo rial- to Congress, together with interac tions' to the Senators, and a request to the Representatives of that State to co-operate in obtaining the pas sage of a law refunding to those from whom it was collected the amount of taxes levied on cotton under the amended internal revenue act. Confirmations. —The Legislature, previous to adjournment last week, made the following confirmations of recent appointments: H. D. D. Twiggs Judge of Middle Circuit; A. C. Pate, Judge of Oconee Circuit; J. T. Glenn, Solicitor of At lanta Circuit; O.S. Crisp, (son of W. H. Crisp, actor,) Solicitor of Northern Circuit; Davenport Jackson Solicitor of Augnsta Circuit; J. C. Rutherford, Solicitor of Albany Circuit; Rollin Stanley, Solicitor of Oconee Circuit. Reward for the Murderer of John Joiner. — Governor James M. Smith has offered a reward of two hundred ami fifty dollars for the ar. rc6t and delivery to the sheriff of Dooly county of Adolphus C. Dev eraux, who killed Mr. John Joiner on the 10th day of last August. Gov. ernor Smith’s proclamatiou of reward is dated the 15th of this month. Ex-Governor Brown. —While, as is well known, our ideas of political affairs have not run in the same chan nel with those of Governor Brown, and while we are not disposed to rob the late acting Governor of any part of the credit due him for retiring from the Executive chair without a need low and hurtful struggle, our kn<>wk-dgc of the facts of the case constrains us to express the opinion that px-Governor Brown is entitled to great credit for his activity in bring ing a (tout a quiet and peaceful solu tion of the difficulty which, at one time, was threatened. The acting Governor conducted himself in a true spirit of gentlemanly magnanimity at the inauguration— walking down the aiale with the Gov ernor elect and acempanying him to the Speaker's desk, where he delivered his inaugural address and took the oath of office. It was certainly one act for which all the people will give him credit. —Athens Watchman. But, with all that can hereafter be said in his favor, Joe Brown done more to elect Bullock Governor than any dozen men in Georgia. He made speeches all through North Georgia, and affirmed to his audi ences that Bullock was the man in preference to General John B. Gor don. We heard him make the asscr tion. He admitted Gordon was a brave man and an honest man, yet he was ineligible snd therefore was not the man fer Georgia's Governor. We see what Bullock has done for the State. The following gentlemen will senn> age tbe Western and Atlantic Rail road for the ensuing year: HoaJea. K. Brown, President; OoL E. W. Cole, General Superintendent; Col. W. C. Morrill, Treasurer ; non. E. G. Cmbnniss, Auditor. Major E. B. Walker remains as Master of Trans portation. Prof. U, J. Orr, Mato ht-hool Commissioner. The Atlanta Constitution says that Professor Gustnvus J. Orr, tlio pres ent State School Commissioner, has long been identified with the cause of education in Georgia. For eigh teen years he was professor es Math ematics in Emory College. For four Ufbnr.s he was President of the South ern Masonic Female College |at Cov ington. During the past eighteen months he has been Professor of Mathematics in Oglethorpe Univer sity. Thus for nearly a quarter o. a century he lias been actively engaged in the work. He has been identified with the movement for popular cdir cation since its inception in 1869 lie wss a member of the committee appointed by tbe State Teachers' As sociation that prepared the plan of the present system of public instruc tion. The appointment of Professor Orr to the position was in obedience to the earnest request of the leading Educators nf the State. The inter est of education was alone consulted in his appointment. And we might here remark that nearly every educa tional institution in the State urged bis appointment. Professor Orr, from long experi ence, profound thought, complete identification with, and love of, the work, we feel confident, will give new impetus to the system and put it iu successful ojeration. Senator Charles C. Kibbcc. It is needless for us to state that the people of the Fourteenth Sen a to-< rial District arc highly pleased witli their Representative in the General Assembly. A more faithful and en ergetic officer docs not belong to that body. lie stands accredited with the introduction of some of the most important bills that have become laws byjnction es the last two sessions, and the zeal and ability with which he urged their passage has won for him considerable distinction among older and better known memb rs of the Senate. Col. Kibbee has rendered valuable service to his immediate constituents as well as to tbe State at large. Wc arc indebted to him for the passage of many acts regarding our local in terests. Knowing the want* and condi tion of our people, he devoted his whole energy and ability in our be half,and for his efficient services he wilj be rewarded by the earnest thanks of the voters of the Fourteenth District. Governor Smith's Secretaries From the Atlanta Constitution of last week we get the following: “We learn that his Ecellency Gov ernor James M. Smith lias appointed Colonel P. W. Alexander, of Musco gee, Jas. W. Warren, of Calhoun county, and Colonel J. Bulow Camp bell, of Fulton county, Secretaries of the Executive Department. Jt is said that Col. Alexander, the friend and late law partner of Governor Smith, holds the position of Confiden tial Secretary only for the present, and until the new administration shall hare been fully organiied and got under way. These appointments arc all eminently worthy to be made. Colonel P. W. Alexander lias a na tional reputation as a writer and polished gentleman—of ripe intellect and unswerving integrity. Mr War ren is a gentleman of honesty, ability and fidelity. Col. Campbell was Secretary of the Executive Pepart partment under Governor Brown for eight years, and discharged the du ties of the office with signal ability. Governor Smith has in him all that could be expected of an officer of the State. Governor Smith is a working Governor, and this, combined with his sterling honesty, is destined to make his the most brilliant of all adminis trations in Georgia. If there was, says the Memphis Ap jieal, anything wanted to satisfy our naturalized citizens that, in the eyes of Radicals, they arc not as good as negroes, it was demonstrated by the vote in the House of Representatives, on Monday, when General Morgan, a Democrat, introduced a joint resolu tion to amend the Constitution, ma king out German, Irish and other foreign-born citizens eligible to the Presidency and Vice Presidency. It was rejected by a vote of eighty-one to sixty-five, being lesa than two-thirds in the affirmative. 8a we suppose Carl Sbraz and other white men of foreign birth must wait until the Democracy again asserts its power before they can enjay equal rights with aegroes. Mr. G. W. Belcher, an old and ea timable citizen of Jefferson county, did at Bethany, in that county, a lew days ago. Tri’gcd) In Mui'tim County. The A meriens lb-publican learns that a man named Bonry Ellison, and Ilia son, were liotli killed fey n man named’Melaon, at Tazewell, Ma rion county, on Saturday week last. It scums that an election was being hold for a Justice of the Peace, when Melson u turnip led U> force a negro to vote against bis will, to which the elder Ellison—who was actiug as a manager in the election—objected. Melson took offence at lids, and in tbe dispute which followed become so enraged, that he struck Ellison iu the head with a knife, inflicting an ugly and fatal wound. Just at this juncture young Ellison came up, and seeing his father in danger, also gave liattie to the assailant, and was killed almost instantly, being stabbed twice—once through tho heart. The elder Ellison survived about two hours. Melson, alter giving tho fa til blows, was struck down with a chair iu the kamfo of another son of Ellison, and left tor dead by the crowd which gathered around the scene of the tragedy ; but, while the attention of the parties present was taken up by the victims of his anger, Molsou recovered and made good his oicapc. At last accounts he had not been captured. Housan Conn?)- Hewc The newly-married editor of the Perry Journal grinds out the follow ing locals in Ins last paper: Married, in Perry, en the evening of the 17th inst., at the residence of the bride’s mother, by Rev. J. Rufus Felder, Mr. M. A. Edwards, of Hous ton county, to Miss L. Gi'bsie Uauin, of Perry. Highway Robreky. — Am old ne gro named Cary Houser, which they called for short “Onc-lcggcd Cary,” was knocked over and robbed Satur day night, near the branch at the eastern end of town. He had receiv ed about fifty dollars that evening, which was the temptation le commit the deed. He is reported to be in a precarious condition, and cannot tell who struck him. [Verily, Waterman, you have some mean people in Perry. Any-body who would [roll* a one-legged negro would steal ttie “copjter off a dead “'gger’s eye.”] Municipal Election.— The fol lowing Were elected: Mayor—S. D. Killen. Aldermen. Win. Brunson, Thos. M. Killen, John Gordon, F. A.Jobson, J. C. Gilbert, D. G. Jones. Col. Havis bad declined to run for Mayor, and in fact Col. Killen was not a candidate, but was voted tor B|>ontaiieous]y by his friends. Veiy little interest was taken in the matter and very few votes cast. On Sunday night a little bench legged ficc, went to church. He kept up a fierce growling and snarling which vexed the righteous souls of ♦.lie worshipers, and an energetic young mail determined to put a stop to it, so he crept up behind the said b. 1. f., caught him suddenly and secure ly by tho back of the neck, mid noise lessly carried him to tho door. Open ing the door with tho quickness of thought, lie (lung the b. 1. f. witli all his might against the head of a young lady who was ascending the steps. There was a slight scream; a mixture of hat and dog described a short parabola through tile air and the energetic young man fainted. Moral.—look before you fling. The Saints of the iluppy Land. The Steamship Seminole arrived in Savannah last wock having on hoard a baud ot fanatics on their way to Mid dfc Georgia. The Morning News thus speaks of them * It appears that the party whicli ar rived in thesteamsbip Seminole, is but the advance guard of the whole sect, whose doctrines arc so at variance with tho rules of decent sooicty that their new tangled religion (7) is not even tolerated in Massachusetts. J. T. Curry is tbe prophet of the new revelation, and is known as “ Elijah.” lie has directed them to settle in Georgia, and they have become the possessors of 200 acres of land near A ugnsta, whkh they call the Happy Land of Canaan. Here they expect to be supplied with all the necessaries of life by the Lord. The sect at pres ent number about 200 men and wo men, all of whom are coming to this State. From a gentleman who conversed with meml>crß of the party, wc learn that their so-called religious belief is a mixture of internationalism and radicalism. They think they have a right to go anywhere, do any thing, and take what does not lie long to them, and that they will live juit as long as they want to. We recommend this party to the kind at tention of the Ku-klux Klan in what ever part of the State they may set tle. The Savannah Advertiser says one hundred men have arrived there frem New York who will at once set to work strengthening the fortifications of Fort Pulaski and mounting addi tional heavy guns. The work is to cost only $26,000. I The War In Something of the good Which tiio ill wind of Hie Mexican revolution is blowing is ifee imp' tits given to im* migration front Mexico into Texas. Uuudrcds of Mexicans arc crossing the border, and our country congrat ulate-* it'-uil u]hmi haying fierivt-d in one day an mfeession to Its popula tion of over three hundred peaceable and well disposed citizens. They ate those who are tired of being tax ed uud conscripted to maintain fac tion lights, and glad to escape to a country which has proved its ability to carefully guard the interests of its people.— St. Louis Democrat. It remains to be seen whet her those Mexicans have bettered their condi tion by change. They have left one mongrel government where they were •‘taxed and conseriped to maintain fac tion fights,” and have came to anoth er government where they will be taxed and reconstructed to maintain faction fights.” The condition of af fairs in Louisana and Texas is at this 1 time very little better than Mexico and if tilings go on as at present a lew years longer there will be no more security for life, liberty and property in the “model Republic” than there has been for tbe past quar ter of a century in mongrel, revolu tionary Mexico. —Savannah News. A lady teacher in a Sunday-School recently had occasion to illustrate a lesson on faith, by the story of a child who was told by his father to drop (Torn an elevated place into his arms. Tlie father could not be seen by the child, yet when commanded, it drop ped. Upon the teacher’s asking her class what was shown by this story, a bright little fellow immediately re plied, “It showed he had pluck.” The Radicals have called their ua tional Convention at Philadelphia on the sth day of June. Tho rcsii’t will be the rc-nomination of Grant and Colfax. \Vm. Hazel, an old and honored citizen of Bartow county, died at Charleston last week. The Baptist Church at Wofford’s Cross Ro.ds, Bartow county, was burned one night last week. A R->d) and mind Disease Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the brain arc 100 intimately allied for the one to suffer without the oilier, so that dys pepsia and despondency are inseparable. It may be added, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost invariably accompanied by irritation of the temper. The invigorating and tranqulimng op eration of Hosteler’* Bitters is most pow erftilly developed in cases of indigestion. The first effect of this agreeable tonic is comfnrting and encouraging. A mild glow pervades the system, the chronic uneasi ness in the region of the stomacli is less ened, and the nervous restlessness which characterizes ttie disease is abated. This improvement is not transient. It is not succeeded by the return of the old symp toms with supenidded force, ns is- always the cane when utnnedlcnted stimulant-; are given for the complaint. Etch dose seems to Impart a prrmniientM-cc.sssion of health fill in vigors tion. But this i. not all. The apparieut and anti-bilious properties of the preparation are secondary in importan e to its tonic virtues. If lltere is an | overflow of Idle, the secretion Is soon brought with in proper limits, and if tho biliary organ is inert and torpid it t» toned and regulated. The effect upon the discharging organs is equally salutary, and in cases nf constipa tion the cathartic action is just stillieiaol to produce the desired result gradually and without pniu. Tin- liitters also promote healthy evaporation from the surface, which is particularly desirable nt this season when sudden spells of raw, unpleasant weather are apt to chor.k the ‘nntural por.-tp''ration and produce congestion oi Ihejlivur, coughs, and colds. The best safeguard against ail diseases is Miig rigor, and this tlie great Vegetable Restorative especially promotes. DON'T HAWkTiLVWK, SPIT, SPIT, BLOW, BLOW, and disgust everybody with your Catarrali and its offensive odor, when Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy will speedily destroy all odor and arrest the discharge. . The Secret of Captivation—Feat ures of Grecian mould, a well-turned neck and beautifully rounded arms, arc no doubt very nice things to have, ami ladies who possess these charms have reason to be thankful to Mother Nature ; yet, after all, the most captivating of all womanly charms Is a pure, fresh and brilliant com plexion. This superlative fascination any lady may secure by j using llaoan's Mao not.i a Bai.m, the standard beautifying prep aration of tlie present age. It differs from all ordinary cosmetics in throe most esscn : lial particulars, inasmuch as it contains no injurious ingredients, does not contract or shrivel tlie skin os ail tlie astringent “ blooms” uud “ powders ” eventually do, hut produces a lasting loveliness by im proving the health of tlie skin. Under its operation the texture of the epidermis be comes finer, and the surface soft as velvet and smooth as i>orcclain. Features can not be changed, but complexions can, and it is quite certain that a lady with no other charm than n fresh and rosy complexion, will attract more admiration in company than her neighbor with a classic face but a tallow skin. Ask the recovered dyspeptics, Bilious sufferers, victims of Fever ami Ague, the mercurial diseased luuicui, bow they re covered health, cheerful spirits, and good appetite—they will tell you by taking Simmons' Liver Regulator.
