THURSDAY MORNING, JUNE 25, 1885.
Maryland has recently adopted the
whipping post, and a wife-beater was
given twenty lashes besides imprison
ment of many months.

There were five persons hanged in
the United States last Friday accord
ing to law, and one anegro, by lynch
ers in Ohio.

Secretary Manning has dismissed
three hundred persons employed as
storekeepers, gaugers, ete., in the
internal revenue service, who were
superfluous to the prompt eflieiency
of the service.
To prove to President Cleveland
that she is notan “offensive partisan,”
the Republican Postmistress at Na
poleon, Mich., bas married the Demo
crat whom she expected to succeed
her.
e
T. J. Cluverius, convicted of mur
dering his cousin, Fannie Lillian
Madison, in Richmond, Va., has been
sentenced to be hanged on the 20th
of November next. An appeal to
the Supreme Court has been made.
The Michigan Senate has passed a
bill to require election officers to
count the ballots as they are deposi
ted houely, and post the results. The
idea is not only to hasten the count
ing, but to make it easier to detect
fraud. It is a very good plan.

Eighteen million acres have been
planted in cotton this year. At a
hale of cotton to every two-and-a
half acres, this ought to produce
7, 200,000 bales. The Evening News
asks what the staple will bring. Well,
if there are 7,200,000 bales the staple
will bring about 7 cents per pound.—

The Judges on Printing and Print
ing Material of the World’s Industrial
Exposition have awarded the only
two first premiums (gold medals) for
printing présses to Messis. C. B. Cot

these premiums was on their new
Front Delivery, Two Revolution, and
the other for their Air Springs Coun
try Press.

Muriate of cocaine has been tested
by Dr. Bauduy, of St. Louis, in the
treatment of insanity and its curative
powers have proved wonderfully sue
cessful, by injection of one grain ata
time under the skin, it being too bit
ter'take internally. A most desper
ate case of melancholy insanity was
cured in thirty days. It has also
proven an antidote for delirium tre
mens and the morphine and opium
habit.

It appeats that artesian wells can
not always be depended on. The one
that supplies the people of Tarry
town, N. Y., with water suddenly
ceased to flow last Saturday. The
artesian well that supplies the deaf
and dumb asylum continued to flow,
and will for a time be connected with
the town mains. The cause of the
failure of the town well may never
be ascertained, but the undiminished
flow of the asylum well indicate that
the water supply in the bowels of
the carth is by no means exhaust-|
ed.
L
A great many people expect the fu
ture to bring them too much pros
perity ; they calculate extravagantly
upon their crops and their prospects
generally, and fail to take into con
sideration the incidental expenses
and contingencies. Basing their
ability to pay upon their overdrawn
estimate of the near future, they of
ten plunge headlong into debt, and
when onee they get beyond their!
depth, they grow giddy and drift
from one temporary relief to another
until finally they go down into ruin,
and often into shame and disgrace.
Dr. Norvin Green, President of the
Western Union Telegraph Company,
said recently to Gath : *“We have paid
£23,000,000 in dividends since we
bought up the American Union Tele
graph Comwpany, four years anda half
ago. We have paid 7 per cent, he
cause we declared to-day a dividend
of 14 per cent. on the quarter. We
have had to acquire an enormous
amount of additional property, and
yet we have continued to pay a high
er range of dividends than any of the
corporations of the time.”

The Washington Herald corres
pondent writes: “What with land
frauds in the Interior Department,
custom house frauds and a sub-treas
ury defaleation in the treasury, and
the Paymaster Smith frauds, the wood
preserving machine frauds, the big
thefts in the bureau of medicine and
surgery, and now this Dolphin affair,
all-in. Mr. Chandler’s navy depart
ment, there is a pretty large devel
opment of what are politically called
“iregularities” in the short time
which the new administration has
had to look at the books.”
r DOES HE UNSEAT HIMSELF?
“The Marietta JourNAL takes
Hon. Mr. Fite’s refusal to resign in
high dudgeon. It threatens a legis
lative investigation as soon as the
July session convenes. Perhaps the
JourNaL is unfriendly to Mr. Igite.——‘
Cartersville Courant.
The above misrepresents us in
more than one particular. The Ma
rietta JOURNAL is not in a “high dud- |
geon” over Mr. Fite’s refusal to re
sign his seat in the Legislature, be
cause of his appointment by Mr.
Crenshaw as United States Internal
Revenue Collector; and neither has
the JourNAL “threatened a legisla
tive investigation,” because this pa
per has no power to move in any
thing of the kind; and the insinua
tion is unfounded that we are “un
friendly” to Mr. Fite, because we
have no acquaintance with that gen
tleman, and, therefore, could have
no animosity against him ; on the con
trary we were glad of his election to
the Legislature, because of the pro
hibition principle he espoused. We
simply expressed an opinion that it
was ‘‘greediness” on the part of Mr.
Fite to hold two offices, and for him
to persist in doing so would natural
ly cause a Legislative investigation
as to the legality of his right to a
seatin the house of Representatives.
It is not our province to threaten
Mr. Fite with a Legislative investi
gation. We aré not a member of
thatt body and never expect to be ;
but Dr. Felton, editor of the Cour
ant, is a member of that body, and
we opine that he will not be slow to
recognize the fact that it is his sworn
duty to see that no member is allow
ed to occupy a seat in that body who
is not entitled to do so under the
Constitution of the State of Georgia.
And as to whether Mr. Fite is le
gally entitled to a seat in that body
is a question that ought to be inves
gated, whether it is not; for it ap
pears his right is notonly in jeopardy,
but in conflict with the State Consti
tution, which in Section 4, Paragraph
7, defines the ineligibility of mem
bers as follows:
“No person holding a military commis
gion, or other appointment, or office, having
any emolument, or compeusation annexed
thereto, under this State, or the United
States, or either of them except Justices of
the Peace and officers ot the Militia, nor
any defaulter of public money, or for any le
gnf taxes required of him, shall have a seat
in either House.”
Now, if it can be shown that the
position of an Internal Revenue Col
lector is not an office under the Uni
ted States Government, and that its
creation was not by authority of an
act of Congress, and that he who fills
the place or office does not receive
compensation for his services, and
that he is not an official of the Uni
ted States government, but that he'is
acting without authority or appoint
ment and for the fun of handling
“Uncle Sam’s” cash, then Mr. Fite
is legally entitled to a seat in the
Legislature, and the Legislature
‘onght to so declare.
But on the contrary if it is proven
that he is a United States officer, le
gally appointed, and that he is re
‘uoiving compensation for his official
services, then it will be a question
for those who have taken an oath to
“support the Constitution of this
State,” to determine whether Mr.
Fite has disqualified himself or not,
aad if they find he is not entitled le
gally to a seat as a member of the
House of Representatives, theyought
to have the courage of their convie
tions and so declare.
And more than this, Mr. Fite
ought not to be willing to occupy a
seat in that body until his legal right
to do so is clearly established. We
would not dare hold a seat the title
to which was tainted with fraud,
for if he has no legal right under the
State Constitution to hold two offices,
then to participate in the delibera
tions of that body, he would be do
ing so as a fraudulent legislator, and
we judge Mr. Fite is too honorable
to want to do anything of the kind.
And we further believe that the
spirit of the State Constitution not
only prohibits Mr. Fite from turther
exercising the functions of legislator,
but the Code deems the office vacated
from the moment he accepted anoth
er office of trust or profit. Article 1,
Section 129 of the Revised Code says:
“The following persons are held and
deemed ineligible to hold any civil office in
this State, and the existence of either the
following state of facts is a suflicient reason
f«\»r vacating any oflice held by such person,
®C. :
Paragraph 4. Persens holding any office
of profit or trust under the Government of
the Uuited States, (other than of postmas
ter,) or of either of the severel States, or of
any foreign State.”
And the Code further specifies un
der paragraph 4, section 135, that the
office is vacated “when the incum
bent is placed in either of the condi
tions specified of ineligibility to of
fice,” (as above quoted in paragraph
4,) “which shall operate from the
time the fact is ascertained and de
clared by the proper tribunal.”
If Mr. Fite I\ccms that the people
of Bartow county want hisservices in
the Legislature, then he should not
place himself in counter to the laws
of his State that depriveshim of sery
ing them in the position to which his
constituents elected him. He can
not serve the State of Georgia and
United States Government at the
same time without rendering the
State Constitution null and void, no
more than he can legally vote with
out paying his taxes. IHe can vote
without paying his taxes, but he
would be an illegal voter. He may
attempt to serve as legislator, hut he
would be an illegal legislator never
theless.
POOR PERSHING.
“Every Democrat that goes to
Washington with a recommendation
from Jeff Davis, receives favorable
consideration by President Cieve
land.—Z'ipton (I}';diana) Advocate.
The above is true, for no Dembo
crat is fool enough to go to Washing
ton with a recommendation from Jeff
Davis, and more than that Jeff Davis
is not giving recommendations; if he
was and a Republican thought he could
get an office or be retained in one,
by using Jeff Davis’ name on a peti
tion he would gladly do so.
By the way, the editor of the Ad
vocate has a good deal to say about
“rebels,” “Southern Confederacy,”
&e., and won’t be quieted, as the fol
lowing squib shows :
“The mingling of the blue and
gray is a farce on loyalty and a dis
grice to the Union. If the ex-rebel
Democrats want to join in with the
loyal boys, let them put on the blue.”
The war ended twenty years ago,
but you seem to want to do your
fighting now. We dare say you
didn’t “put on the blue” and shoulder
your muskgt during the war when
men’s bravery was tested. If you did
“put on the blue” you trotted behind
some sutler wagon and never faced a
“rebel” musket on a battle field. The
old soldiers on both sides don’t seem
to be so blood-thirsty as you are.
The mingling of the “blue and gray”
is going on constantly down South.
Business enterprises and commercial
transactions, one with the other, free
from epithets and rancor, character
ize the “blue and the gray.” In fact
there has been somg marrying and
intermarryifig between the families
of the two classes, and they all seem
to think the waris ended and that
we are all citizens of a common coun
try.
Say, Pershing, suppose you quit
such foolish talk, or “put on the
blue” and go out on the frontier and
fight Apache Indians. They seem to
be the only ones just now who are
“rebels” against the - United States
government.
In the language of the Courier-
Journal, “There are just two sorts of
people who delight in sectional agi
tation, the rascals, who think they
make a party profit out of it, and the
fools, who have never traveled and
know no better. We defy an intelli
gent man to give any except a geo
graphic reason why there should bhe
a north and a south. We have, in
fact, no more a north and a south
than an east and a west. The ex
pressions of controversy, however,
often survive the controversies them
selves ; and thus it is with us. There
is, of course, always a nigger in the
woodpile, but it is not always the
same nigger. Issues change, times
change, men change ; but the eter
nal principles of liberty and law ve
main the same, and who ever is true
to them, he is a good citizen of the
state, which is their embodiment,
and no man has a right to point his
finger at him or deny him any of the
good things which belong to all in
common. He who attempts it be
comes a traitor by the act, and the
day is not far distant when, instead
of an ostentatious parade of provinei
alism, both sections of the Union will
vie with one another in the assertion
of the doctrine that patriotism is coun
try, not party, and that country is
not a section, but all the four corners
of the compass.
As Ben Hill said, “We are in our
fathers’ house, thank God, and here
we intend to stay.” The bloody
shirt has lost its power for evil.
HOW TO TREAT CROAKERS.
The Greensboro Herald gives the
following remedy for the treatment
of croakers: “You will find the croak
ers in nearly every community, le
mopes around with a woeful face.
Every enterprise that is mooted
meets with a croak ; he looks etern
ally on the gloomy side of every
picture; he throws a dampness upon
everything and everybody with
wbom he comes in contact. The
sun never shines bright to him, noth
ing looks inviting or happy in his
sight, but all is eroak, croak, croak.
“It won't succeed,” hangs on the end
of his drooping tongue. *Failure”
lies heavy in the depths of his bale
ful eye, and “death” quivers on the
tips of his shriveled fingers. One
croaker can do more harm and ecause
more backsets to any enterprise than
can be overcome by a dozen live, earn
estmen. These croakers must go. The
best way to serve them when they set
up their mournful dirge *““of death to
enterprise,” is to run rough-shod over
them. Don’t pay any attention to
them.”
You will find a few of these eroak
ers in our town too, but the people
have listened at their chronic com
plaints and evil predictions until they
consider the infliction as a necessary
evil to stimulate them to greater ex
ertion to succeed in whatever they
‘undertake. The only way they can
hurt the town is to deceive strangers.

In 1884 the revenue from distilled
liquor in the United States amounted
to, in round numbers, seventy seven
million dollars. This vast sum is on
ly the taxes paid to the Government.
Add the profits-—say about one hun
dred per cent—and it can be seen
what the people pay for their drinks.
The amount consumed has steadily in
creased.

A Tramp’s Rips.—The recent ride
of one of these itinerant individuals
from Chattanooga to Dalton, on a
night passenger train, leads the re
cord of perilous feats and dangerous
trips. In order to effectually con
ceal himself trom the watchful vigi
lance of the train crew, and obtain
free passage, the tramp boldly crept
under the cow-catcher and secured a
hold upon the two iron ecross-beams
that support the pilot, and in this po
sition, with the train thundering
along at a terrific rate of speed, he
rode to Dalton. In one of hisrounds,
oiling up his machine the fireman un
consciously poured oil upon the
tramp’s cap, which that individual
exhibited as proof of his perilous trip
of forty miles.— Dalton Citizen.
An extraordinary case of mistaken
identity occurred in Parislast month.
A woman saw at the morgue a body
which she thought she recognized as
the father of a girl working near her
at a perfumer’s. The girl came, re
cognized her father, and his clothing
also, and swooned. Coming to she
fetched a brother and two sisters, who
all worked in Paris. They all signed
the formal declaration as to identity.
The body had been found at Meudon,
near which their father often worked.
The children started for Creteil, his
home, to learn when he had been
last seen. Arriving there they found
him outside his door, and greatly
amused to learn that he had been
found dead at the morgue.

CHANGING THE GAUGE. 1
The Mobile and Ohio railroad com- |
pany will change its gauge zlong its |
entire line from Hickman, Ky, to‘l
Mobile, Ala., 500 miles, on the first |
day of next month, from the stand- |
ard southern five-foot gauge to the'
northern standard gauge, which is
four feet eightand ahalf inches. The
work of changing this gauge can be
done in one day by the employment
of a‘large force of trackmen all along
the®line. Shoving the rail in three
and a half inches and driving ith
nails in the ties along 500 mi]éso"
road by no means represents the
tenth part of the work that has to be
done. The Mobile and Ohio, the
Louisville and Nashville, Chattanoo
ga and St. Louis railways have been
setting up their pins for the work
for many years past. Ever since
they came to the conclusion some
five years ago that the gauge of
southern roads would have to be
changed to conform to the gauge of
the roads north of the Ohio river, all
engines and car wheels purchased by
the southern roadss have heen con
structed so that the wheels can be
compressed in three and a half inches
along the axles. It is the pressing in
of the wheelson 18,000 or 20,000 sets
of car wheels, which have to be
forced on with the hydraulic pres
\sure, that takes so much time and
costs somuch. In 1880, when the
iga.uge of .the Illinois Central was
changed from the five foot to the
standard gauge, the work was done
on over 500 miles of road between
Hickman and Mobile in twenty-four
hours.
An End to Bone Scraping.
Edward Shepherd, of Harrishurg, 111.,

from Electric Bitters, I feel it my duty to

a running sore on my leg for eight years;
my doctors told me 1 would have to have
the bone scraped or leg amputated. I used,
instead, three bottles of Electric Bitters and
seven boxes Buocklen's Arnica Salve, and
my leg is now sound and well.”
Electric Bitters are sold at fifty cents a
bottle and Bucklen’s Aruica Salve 25 cts

They are right. Better die of disease than

does not involve this danger. It not ouly

thes tomach, liver and kidneys, but it stimu
lates without intoxicating and absolutely
cures the appetite for liquor.
