TIIE DISPATCH
...I. L L'F.'.l—.l - ■ mC.J '
THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20,1877.
GEO. P. WOODS,
EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR.
THE SALE OF WILD LANDS.
W. L. Goldsmith, the Comptroller
General of Georgia, has written W.
B. Sapp, sheriff of Dodge county,
that “wild lands’’ must be sold un
der tar fi fas issued from the Comp
troller General’s office, and that each
lot must be sold separately. This is
in accordance with a decision of the
Attorney General of the State, and
will give poor people an opportunity
to purchase these lands. It is not
right to sell these lands In large bod
ies and thereby give speculators or
‘■land sharks” the opportunity of
taking them by the wholesale. We
believe that the State should be paid
the tares upon all wild lands within
her borders, but, in the collection of
these tares, if it must be done by
levy and sale, then give the poor
man a chance to invest his few dol
lars as well as the rich one his thou
sands.
QUESTIONS WE WANT ANSWERED.
If the capital question was decided
by negro votes, where did the new
constitution get its majority of nearly
seventy thousand votes ? Come! we
want Colonel Patrick Woods, of the
Hawkinsville Dispatch, to count it
up on his fingers.— Atlanta Constitu
tion, Dec. 15 th.
A question for Colonel George
Woods, of the Hawkinsville Dis
patch : How many counties in
Georgia have legal negro majorities ?
That is to say, how -many counties
do the n 'groes who have paid I’ eir
taxes control at the polls?— Atlanta
Constitution , Dec. 16 th.
Oh, don’t bother us with such ques
tions. “You know how ’tis your
self," Harris. If you don’t know,
ask “Skowhegan”.Bryant and the bal
ance of the Atlanta Committee. But
let us drop dead issues and discuss
live ones. Tell us why “Atlanta”
wants to beat the brave and faithful
General Gordon. Tell us who is
Atlanta’s man that wants Gordon’s
shoes. And tell us if the Atlanta
Constitution is in sympathy with, or
endorses the spirit of the recent com
munication in that paper, the object
of which was to concentrate Atlanta’s
strength against General Gordon be
cause he saw proper not to make
speeches and write-letters in favor of
that city for the capital, while he rep
resents the whole State of Georgia in
the highest branch of civil govern
ment in the land. Oh, twelve able,
tell us not in anger, but silence your
guns against Gordon, and get out of
the way of the storm that is gather
ing to sweep him again into the Uni
ted States Senate.
GEORGIA’S RECOGNITION IN CON
GRESS.
Don Piatt’s paper, the Capital, pub
lished in Washington City, compli
ments Georgia upon her representa
tion upon the various Congressional
committees. Gen. Cook, the mem
ber from our district, is placed at
the head of the committee on public
buildings, and Col. Hartridge, of
Savannah, is upon the judiciary com
mittee. The article alluded to will
be found in another column of the
Dispatch.
THE VOICE OF THE PEOPLE.
The vote of Georgia on the ques
tions of ratification of the new Con
stitution, the adoption of the new or
old homestead, and the capital ques
tion, as given by the Atlanta Tribune,
from official figures, is as follows :
The majority for the new constitu
tion is 67’563 ; the majority for the
•homestead of 1877 is 41,987, and the
majotity for Atlanta as the capital
is, according to the figures of the
Tribune, who lias access to the re
turns, 42,536. The whole vote cast
on the capital question was 151,716,
on the adoption of the constitution
148,711, and on the homestead ques
tion 143,329. The analysis of the
above vote shows that on the capital
question, only the First, Third and
Sixth Congressional district j-ave
majorities for Milledgeville.
The Barnesville Gazette is respon
sible for the following, which may be
classed as among the fuuny things
of the recent election: “ ‘How is
your county ?’ inquired a gentleman
of an Upson county man. ‘Gone to
h—l/ said the gentleman from Up
son. Of course he meant politically
and not literally.” Upson county
gave five hundred and thirty-two
majority for Atlanta.
Another man is going to start a
grocery in Dublin in order to sell the
people over there thfeir Christmas
“toddy,” whereupon young Medlock,
the tee-total editor of the Gazette,
begins to deprecate the sale of whis
ky. Pshaw, boy \go round and take
a stiff eyc-cpener, and hurrah for
Christmas and the man who pays his
subscription for 1878.

Wouldn't you like to be shod by a
pretty lady blacksmith'?- They have
one of that gender up at Dalton, Ga.
“Bring in another horse.”
■
Mrs. Virginia Perry, wife of Capt.
L. C. Perry, of Laurens county, died
in Dublin on the 10th in*t.
The hog cholera prevails to a
great extent in some portions of
Taj lor county, some farmers having
lost their entire stock of hogs for
this and the next season.
ONLY ONE COLORED MAN IN THE
NEXT LEGISLATURE.
The next Georgia legislature will
contain but one colored Representa
tive, a man named Rogers, from Mc-
Intosh county. Jitn Blue, of Glynn
county 5 was beaten, and Glynn, for
the first time since the war, has a
Democratic Representative. The
colored line is broken, and the rank
and file of the Radical party is scat
tered, and now we shall probably see
a division of the whites of the State.
The only thing that united the
Whigs and Democrats ip Georgia
was the negro party, cemented by
Union leagues and led by scalawags
and carpet-baggers, whose object was
to plunder the tax payers and elevate
to power ignorance and vice. When
the white people saw ruin embla
zoned on tbe Radical banner, they
united, regardless of party differences,
and made a common fight against the
enemy. Now, that the Radical par
ty, as a party, is destroyed, the
whites arc becomiug divided, and we
shall not be surprised to see two par
ties come into existence.
Napoleon kept Prance united by
making war upon other nations.
When he saw that France could not
be kept still, and that internal war
would follow, he thought it better to
war upon other governments rather
than that France should engage in
a bloody struggle and destroy her
own property and people.
Let us profit by experience. Geor
gia, for nearly five years, was ruled
by a party that had neither virtue
nor property to sustain it. THfct par
ty bad nothing to lose, and all to
gain. Its object was to plunder the
tax payer.
Let us beware that dissenlions do
not enter our ranks and divide us.
The white people of the South, if
united, can control the State gov
ernments, and make laws for the
protection of property. But if they
allow the negro element to again
crystalizc or assert its influence in
electing men to office, we shall see
the old adage verified, that “history
repeats itself.”
A PERPLEXING POINT.
A legal writer in the Macon Tele
graph and Messenger makes the
point that if Gov Colquitt dies be
tween this time and next November
there will be no legal government in
Georgia and a state of anarchy will
ensue. He takes the position that
the new constitution goes into effect
from tiie time that the Governor is
sues his proclamation declaring that
it has been adopted. The constitu
tion kills the old Legislature, and as
the new Legislature will not meet
and organize until November, there
is no President of the Senate or
Speaker of the House to take the
place of the Governor in the event of
his death or resignation, nor is there
any person authorized, in such a con
tingency, to call the General Assem
bly together in special session. 11 is
not probable that the Governor will
either die or resign during the next
eleven months, but cither death or
resignation might occur and produce
a very ugly political complication
Savannah News.
We see no need of becoming
alarmed over possibilities. If danger
be ahead, let Gov. Colquitt postpone
his proclamation upon the new con
stitution until the time for the new
legislature to meet. But is the new
legislature a legal body until after
the members are sworn in T And
are not the present Speaker of the
House and President of the Senate
fully entitled to their seats and priv
ileges until their successors are
sworn into office? We see no
trouble brewing, and no necessity for
a meeting of the legislature. Let
things rock along as they are The
president of the last senate and the
speaker of the last house of repre
sentatives will have authority to- con
duct the State government in the
event of improbable contingencies.
We would have a very poor opinion
of the ability and foresight of the
constitutional convention if it had
failed to provide against such evils
as seem to be worrying some of our
exchanges.
The new constitution provides for
only one session of the legislature in
two years, and we are oppe sed to any
scheme to get it together sooner than
November, 1878.
GEORGIA'S TWO SENATORS FROM A
YANKEE STANDPOINT.
The Boston Herald makes the fol
lowing mention of Georgia’s United
States Senators:
Conspicuous among the gentlemen
from the South is John B. Gordun,
of Atlanta. He was wounded eight
times in Confederate battles, and
bears the mark of a scar uix>n his
cheek. He is tall, of commanding
presence, with straight black hair,
blue eyes, and a not wholly partri
cian nose. His colleague, Ben Hill,
looks less like a soldier and more like
a scholar. He is tall and bent in the
shoulders? and wanders about with
his hand3 behind him in a dreamy,
abstracted wnj\ His hair is slightly
tinged with gray, his ejres are blue,
and he is much given to meditation
at dinner and at other inopportune
times. His speeches are good, ids
eyes clear in their outlook and the
prevailing expression of the man,
both in person and countenance, is
one of sadness.
LEPROSY IN NEW YORK.
The New York Sunday Mercury
has * storj- to the effect that leprosy
has hceit imported into Unit city by
Chinese arriving from California. A
reporter of that paper says that he
saw a Chinaman a Baxter street ten
ement house slowly dying from lep
rosy, and at the Chines* hospital two
children of Itish-Chiuese birth suffer
ing from the same disease.
THE PROSPECT OF WAR WITH
Mexico.
.It does not require a very wide
stretch of Imagination, says the New
York Bulletin, to see the possibility
of our drifting into war wkh Mexico.
We do not - intimate 4hat there is
either necessity or justification for
anything of the kind, for there is
neither; on the contrary, the eslab
lishing of friehdly and profitable
relations with that country was, per
haps, never more feasible than to
day. But, as a matter of fact, the
whole course of events so closely
resembles the circumstances that
introduced the war of 1846 that the
past seems strongly suggestive of
the impending. On both sides the
Texas border all the materials exist
for an early rupture. The President
refuses to recognize Mexico’s de
facto Governor. In his message he
makes sinister allusion to that, gov
ernment. He has ordered addition
al detachments to the frontier, with
ominous equipments; and these rein
forcements have been preceded by a
mysterious scouting expedition into
Mexican territory, v. liich is supposed
to have met with exasperating disas
ter. Evidently at Washington there
is more disposition to encourage a
quarrel than to invite friendship.
Those who are accustomed to 8-ek
the occasion of wars outside their
ostensible causes will find no scarcity
of them in this case. To the gov
erning class it may seem a good
thing to get up an excitement that
would divert attention from the nu
merous unwelcome issues of home
politics and give employment to our
thousands of discontented poor. To
the political class, it may appear a
good expedient, now that party
lealty is waning, to rally public
enthusiasm around the administra
tion. To the speculative class, in
cluding those of the politician sort,
it would be a god-send to have a re
turn of the era of army contracts,
government loans and public extrav
agance. To the Texas Pacific inter
est it would be the opening of new
prospects of success. To the pioneer
adventures, it would promise the
realization of their dreams of railroad
enterprise, colonization schemes and
miniDg ventures. To the military
class, it would be a welcome realiza
tion from their monotonous idleness.
With the South, it would be popular
as an extension of its territory
and the realization of its supposed
destiny. While, to a more general
class, it would be attractive as a
stimulus to general trade, helping
the country through the dreary de
pression that has so long afflicted it.
Combining the influences of all these
classes, it is conceivable enough how
the administration might become
persuaded that the bad neighborship
of the Mexicans justifies our chastis
ing them and compensating ourselves
by annexing as much of their terri
tory as may seem desirahle to us.
We sincerely hope we misinterpret
the signs of events ; but we feel con
strained to issue the caution that, if
the people wish to avoid a needless
war with Mexico, they should let
their voice he heard in Washington.
GEORGIA’S INFLUENCE IN CONGRESS
Complimentary Mention of Gen. Cook
and his Colleagues.
From the Washington Capital]
Georgia fared well at the hands of
Mr. Randall in the arrangement of
his committees. It was to be expect
ed that the Speaker' would ‘come
down handsomely- to the State who“e
unflinching support made his election
a certainty. Georgia was the centre
of Mr. Randall’s line, and no demon
stration of tho allied forces of Morri
son, Cox, Saj ler and the rest made
any impression upon that solid rock.
When Congressman Blount an
nounced two weeks before the meet
ing of the Democratic caucus that
Georgia was ‘solid for Randall,’ lie
not only showed that he had thor
oughly performed his work as one of
the managers of Mr. Randall’s fight,
but he proclaimed the certainty of
Mr. Randall’s election. As one of
Mr. Randall’s counselors, Mr. Blount
has looked out well for the interests
of his State in the disposition of his
colleagues. Mr. Hartridge, who is
one of the best lawyers and most fin
ished speakers in the House, appro
priately goes to the Judiciary Com
mittee, where distinction awaits
him. His position in the House is
already a high one—a clear case of
conquest of great modesty by great
merit. Brave and genial General
‘Phil’ Cook is at the head of the
Committee on Public Buildings. lie
lias as many friends as any man in
Congress and as bis constituents
seem determined to keep him here,
we promise them an increase every
year of his large personal influence
with his fellow-members. Colonel
Blount is second on the Committee
on Appriations, where I e hns already
earned a fine reputation with his as
sociates.
‘ THE SOLDIERS’ MONUMENT.
The Confederate monument at
Augusta will lo completed on the
26th of April. Thu work is progress
ing rapidly at Ferrara, Italy. The
Chronicle and Sentinel thus describes
the structure:
The monument will be 71 feet
high, exclusive of the foundation, and
21 feet square at the base. The
base will be Stone Mountain granite,
while the remainder ot the monu
ment will be of the finest Italian
monumental marble. The statue of
a private Confederate will stand on
the top ofthe monument, and statues
of Gen. R. B. Lee, Gen. Stonewall
Jackson, Gen. Thos. R. R. Cobb and
Gen. W. H. Wulker will be placed
on pedestals about twenty feet above
the hasp. The top of the monu
ment will be higher than Masonic
Hall.
Hon. Henry Taylor, of Washing
ton county, slaughtered during the
recent cold spell sixty-three hogs, all
raised op*n his place, the entire lot
averaging one hundred and ninety
five pounds per head. Think of this,
I ye farmers of Georgia who are living
off Cincinnati bacon.
RUFUS B. BULLOCK.
A repor.ei of the Atlanta Consti*
tution had the following chat with
Rufus B, lSullo.k in Atlanta, on his
arrival in that city :
“‘When did you reach the' city,
Governor?’
“‘I came in this morning,’he re
plied blandly. ‘I intended to have
reached Atlanta on yesterday but
•here was a forced delay ell route. I
should like to have been here and ex
ercised my light to vote on that im
portant day. I have not cast a sin
gle vote inside of Georgia in over
ten years, and I never like to miss a
Georgia election.’
“‘Have yon come to Georgia to
live ?’
“ ‘Yes, sir ; I am here to slay. The
truth is, I have always been a citizen
.of this State, and I have always in
tended ‘o live here. I have merely
waited for the time to arrive when I
could conveniently taße up my resi
dence here.’
“In reply to the question as to
when his trial would tome off, Gov
ernor Bullock replied ‘that lie did not
know,’ but expressed the hope that it
might not be long delayed. He says
he wants the thing closed.
“Governor Bullock declined to’alk
upon any of the questions involving
his record or his future. He said that
anything he might say at present
would be misconstrued, and could
not possibly do- him any good. At
the proper time he says he will have
a statement to make to the people of
Georgia, for which he will ask only
their dispassionate consideration.”
MORMON EMIGRATION FROM GEOR
GIA AND ALABAMA.
The Scottsboro (Ala.) Herald re
ports the departure of fifty persons
from Alabama and nineteen from
Georgia, bound for Mormondona—
fleeing, as they r say, from the wrath
to epme. Of these, a large propor
tion were children, and most of the
emigration was made up of families,
all from the neighborhood of Sand
mountain. This is anew sensation
in the South.
A SAD ACCIDENT.
The Thomasville Times says: “On
Saturday last Mr. Jno. L. Linton and
Mr. Frank M. Jones went out hunt
ing. They were riding horseback,
and Mr. Linton carried his young
son, Lawson, between seven and
eight years of age, behind him
Sometime during the afternoon they
both dismounted, and left Lawson to
hold the horses. They went off some
little distance and Lawson com
menced riding toward them, but soon
got into a boggy place, when it
seemed as if the horse he was leading
might pull him off, his father told
him to turn Frank’s horse loose and
hold on to the one he was on. He
did this and seemed to be getting
along all right for a while, but the
horse getting deeper into the bog,
commenced plunging and threw the
little lellow off, his foot catching in
the stirrup. The horse ran, kicking
and jumping cowards Mr. Linton,
who, seeing the danger to bis boy,
fired both barrels of his gun at the
horse, but without stopping him.—
Lawson’s foot got loose soon after
wards and they ran to him, but life
was almost extinct—lie gasped once
or twice and was gone. The deceased
was a very bright., intelligent boy and
the pride of the family.”
TERRIBLE ACCIDENT.
The Sandersville Courier has the
following account of a heaitrend
ing accident: “On Friday last Mr.
C. 11. Odum, who resides three
miles west of this city, went to the
grist mill of the Messrs. Warthen,
known as the Carter’s mill, for his
grist. While standing near the
flouring mill his overcoat was caught
by the upright shaft of the elevator,
and in an instant drew him so firmly
to the shaft it was impossible for
him to extricate himself, lie was
whirled around at the rale of one
hundred and twenty circles to the
minute. He! was compelled to pas 9,
at each evolution, between four up
right posts, all in such close proxim
ity that any one of them would have
crushed him to death. Before the
water co"ld be shut off he was man
gled and torn to p.eces. We are
informed that his bones, flesh and
blood were literally showered over
the house.” Mr. Odum leaves a
helpless and dependent family to
mourn his untimely death.
The News from the Texas border
looks belligerent. It is stated that
General Ord lias received an official
copy of the order from Diaz to Gen
eral Daleon, commanding the Mexi
can forces on the border to repel by
force any invasion of Mexican terri
torj-, and that General Trevino has
been ordered to the Rio Grande with
twenty-five hundred troops to carry
out the order. It is also stated that
General Ord lias telegraphed Mr.
Hayes for another regiment of caval
ry.
The Brunswick Advertiser notices
anew industry that has recently been
successfully operated: “Messrs.
Haj-es & Shadman, who bought a
year ago Cannon’s Point, on St.
Simon’s Island, are now manufactur
ing olive oil from the fruit of their
olive grove. Th y have made so far
about sixty gallons. This article is
perfectly pure and unadulterated, and
will command very high figures in
the market.”
The steamer Colville, which the
Dublin Gazette poeticallj- niynes the
“Pride of the Countj-,” is now carry,
lug freight regularly between Dublin
and No. 14 on the Central Railroad.
It is a fact well established by
unquestionable testimony that Hall’s
Hair Renewer renews, cleanses,
brightens, invigorates and restores
to its original color and lustre, faded
graj- ot discolored hair, c eapty,
quickly and surely. The poorest

rather than to proclaim in a manner
more forcible than words can deline

that it does eradicate the scalp dis

BURNED TO DEATH.
The Sumter Republican says : “We
regret to learn that A|rs. Elizabeth
Roflndtree, the wife qf Mr. A- Hi
Roundtree, who lives about ten miles
southwest of Americas, came to her
death in a moat shocking manner on
Saturday morning, the Bth instant.
Mr. Roundtree had left, the premises
but a short time when his attention
Was attracted towards the house by
seeing a dense smoke issuing from
the roof of the building. On arriv
ing at the iiouse he found the body
of his wife lying in the middle of the
floor, devoid of clothing and badly
burned. Mrs. R. was subject to fils,
and it is supposed that she was at
tacked With one at this time, and
either fell into the fire or her cloth
ing caught fire. We did not learn
whether the house was destroyed by
the fire or not.”
The proposition to send General
Gordon lo Paris as the representative
of the South meets with hearty ap
proval. He is overwhelmed with
letters from every portion of the
South Urging him to consent.
The Gainesville Eagle says that
Saturday evening last little Sanford
Russell, the son of George Russell,
of Dawson county, about twelve or
thirteen years old, was crushed to
death by the falling of a tree that he
himself had cut down. When the
tree began to fall, the little fellow
started to run out of the way, but ran
in the wrong direction, and the free
fell upon him, and he died in an hour
aftei ward.
The Tliomaston Herald says.
The sheriff of Pike county, Hon.
William Barrett, has received four
fi fas from Attorney General Ely,
against the Upson County Railroad
for taxes for 1874, ’75, ’76 and 1877.
To each fi fa is a penalty of $1,875.
The Attorney General’s instructions
to Sheriff Barrett are to levy on the
road and its effects, in case the fl
fas are not settled. The company
refused to pay the taxes and the
sheriff has advertised the road for
sale.
The Lafayette Messenger tells the
fol.owing strange story: Mr. Lem
MoWortlier’s little son, after playing
in a heap of wheat on the floor, five
years ago, told his parents and
brothers that some grains of wheat
had got into his ear, and although
the statement since only excited a
little mirth stall he always insisted
that they were in his ear, and a few
days ago two grains of wheat worked
their way out perfectly sound as they
were when they went in.
The Constitution says that Mr.
Stephens has suggested to the Gov
ernor the appointment of , General
Toombs as one of the honorary Com
missioners to the Paris Exposition of
1878.
The Brunswick Seaport Appeal,
alluding to the business prospects of
the city, says : “The lumber busi
ness is again getting lively, and the
cotton business seems fairly under
wav for a winter campaign. The
freight business via steamer and
packet from Nyw York for the inte
rior, as also return freights on these
vessels, is constantly increasing. The
Macon and Brunswick Railroad has
built, up anew line of business with
St. Mary’s, St. Ilia’s river and Darien,
in Green Line freights, already spo
ken of in our columns, and which
promises lo prove a success, which
will no doubt he patronized by Fer
nandina merchants when business re
vives in that sorely stricken city.”
Some negroes left a syrup kettle
of boiling water a few nights ago, in
Talbot county, and the next morning
found a calf in it well boiled. The
calf had accidentally fallen in during
the night.
A negro named Prince Roberts
was drowned on Monday-last in the
Altamaha river, caused by the tear

timber which he was handling.
The Atlanta Constitution says:
“The cause of temperance is said to
be gaining ground, owing to the
abominable quality of the average
whisky ”
