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. 't | 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 people prefer to buy it and use it, rather than to proclaim in a manner more forcible than words can deline ate, through blanched locks or griz zly heard, that they are aged and passing to decay. Avery short ti ial will convince the most skeptical that it does eradicate the scalp dis eases which rpb the hair ot its oolor and life Fort Scott {Kan.} Daily Monitor 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 ing up and scattering of a raft of 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 ” Notice to Debtors and '’reditors.
