liluc Spring Connell, No. -11.
This Council of Uie Order of Doited
Friend# of Temperance, located at Ous~
ley’a Station, A. At 0. K R., was or
ganiz'd on )»#t Saturday night, with
Hon. J, A. Ousley a* Worthy Primate.
It number# about sixty members, who
are all zealous laborer# in advancing
the raose of temperance, and ha# accom
plished much good in that section of
Lowndes county. There i» but one bar
ro. m at the Station; and in Saturday
night last six prison# having taken up
on themselves tho vow of total absti
nence, the proprietor of the bar afore-
tho following morning,
that lie desired to sell oat his liqoors at
•wholesale. The unprecedented prosper
ity of the Temperance order at Ousley,
is duo in a groat measure, to tho ut tir
ing and zealous efforts of Mrs. W. II
Ousley.
Tlie Tlioinasrille Times.
We huvo received tho first 'issue of
this new paper, published by Messrs.
Christian A Triplett, at Thnmasvi lie, and
furnished to subscribers at $2.00 a year.
It is a very neallv printed sheet, com
mantes its existence with cightcuu col
umns of advertising, and bids fa rto
have apn sperous career. Its editorial
cfjnmns give evidence of considerable
ability, and on the whole tho city from
whence il cminate# mny justly l e proud
of its new representative. We wish the
enterprising proprietors great success.
Ckxars Takers or 1800.— The govern
jrient has ut last resolved to do a riglit
qoua act. By an act approved Ward)
3, 1873, Congress authoiized tho pay
ment, without proof of loyalty, of claims
for compensation for census
of 18C0. The Interior Department, in
order to save expense to claimants, Ims
prepared the forms, and states that the
intervention ol an attorney will not be
necessary. This is the first recognition
of tho oilitvttisbip of Southern men since
the war.
Mr. John Edmondson, deceased, com
piled the census of Brooks county in
]§CO, and his widow is entitled to the
pay.
"ilrrsto Taxation.’’
Suppcoso our provincial brethren
touch up the people on "heroic taxation," i
for to this complexion it must at last, if i
tilings are permitted to go on as they
are‘now going.. Tho people do not ad
mire taxation of any kind, mireb less
that of the "heroic" variety, hot perhaps
they may he coaxed, argued fooled or
dragoomd up to it.—>SViu. Advertiser. ■
In our opinion tho Advertiser's “pro
vincial brethren" arc about us uncom
promisingly opposed to"lifroic taxation’’
as the people, whom it suggests should
I>o."coaxed, argued, fooled or dragooned
up to it,” The "brethren” cannot he
made tho Instrument ot deception and
oppression.’ Both Federal and 'State
Governments have given us a sufficiency
of t' e “heroic” character of taxation ever
since the war; the people have boon etir
feited, and are indisposed to submit to a
further increase. The "In rnie” policy ol
taxation, ss inaugurated in South Caro
lina and Florida is working the ruin of
those Slates, by forcing good citizens to
sacrifice llieir property and seek homes
olseivlntre.# It would have a similar ef
fect in Georgia.

From Oi i.qcitt. U. 8. Commissioner
E C. Wade returned Wednesday eve
ning from the counties cf Colquitt and
Worth. What the object of this visit
was wo are not informed? but suppose m
was oir business pertaining to tlie U, S.
Courts to bo held in Savannah next

Gay, Loiria Gregory and John Bryant
are still at large and evading arrest, and
it is tho opinion of tlie Commissioner
that "they are receiving aid, comfort, eu
couragemi-nt from the people.”
The soldiers are still there, but inac
tive. What further Bteps the U. S. au

parties named, Commissioner Wade
seems not to know.

worth ten dollars, must the pooi devil

I’roposr and Sale of Stare Property.
The press of Georgia is discussing tie
advisability of the Stab! re'li'ig the Wes
tern and Atlantic Railroad, as also all
interests held in other railroad er ter
prisrs, tor the purpose of realizing funds
sufficient to pay i ff the heavy indebted
ness so embarrassing at tlie present
lima. When tlie suggestion was fiisl
advanced, wo confess ' that it did not
meet favor with us, Hot rr fiction bus
matrrialiy views. Tlie
Washington Oaxdte is a zealous advo
cate if IHe measure, and presents sound
reasons for tbe sale. It says the State!
is in debt, nol so deeply, it is true, as to j
mliarrass her under ordinary circum- !
stances, but now her peop'e are just re- i
caperating from tho impoverishment
caused by tho disastrous termination of j
the war, they have been preyed upon by
the most infamous horde of vampire car
pet-baggers, and she is uow beset bv a ;
.ring of Northern Sharpers, backed by i
large capital, who are doing all in their;
to injure her cr> dit and arc plac- ,
ing every obstacle in tlie way of her
raising funds to meet tier legal indebt
edness, iu order that they may compel
her to pay tircir fraudulent and illegal
cairns. Tlie people arc in n » condition
bear heavy taxation if it can be avoid
ed, yet it would be far better that they
hear the heaviest burthens at present |
Ilian to allow the fraudulent claims ol
these sharpens to become binding upon :
them.
The sale ot the State property, or a ;
large portion of it seems Hie clearest arid
easiest solution of the rflfficulty. By
this course heavy taxation may not only
be avoided, but taxation actually re-,
rluccd to a minimum, and only sufficient j
to raise funds for the purpose of defray i
ing tho necessary expense < f the gov- i
eminent. This sale would also make us
perfectly independent of outside cap tal • j
ists and would place the good old State!
beyond tire machination# of the moneyed
sharpers and rings of the Noflh.
V. S’- Grant, I’re sirle.jnl for Life.
Leo, flic well informed cm respondent I
of the Charleston Courier, writing about
tlie inauguration ceremonies ou the 4th
inst.. Inis this to say:
The first impression made npo i all by j
the unprecedented magnificence of this j
inaugural celebration and the adulation I
bestowed upon tire hero of the day, i
that Gen. Grant is Considered us I’resi
dent for life. Tlie whole proceeding*, j
with its pagentry, reminds one ot a core
nation. It is, in fact, a sort of mass |
convention for tlie renomination of Grant
for a third term. He, himself, it is bo
lieved and asserted by fife intimates, bus
no moio doubt of hi# third election than !
tie lias of tlie fact that lie has been twice
elected. Nothing is mere desired by j
him than a unanimous re-clecti >n, and
to accomplish this he will endeavor to
app. use, if not to conciliate the Southern
people uow opposed to him. That be j
will endeavor to bring the South to his;
support there can4>" no doubt.
That it is tbe purpose of the Radical!
party to continue Grant in the Preside!)-,
tial chair, is evident from the expressions
made by hi# party journals. Ten days
ago the Boston Transcript asked the j
question: "Who will deliver the iuau-i
gural address as President on tliedlh of
March, 1877 ?” To .this query, tho New 1
York Commercial Advertiser, an extreme 1
ladicul journal, and blind adherent ol |
Grant, replied: "Very likely li. S. Grunt
will tiw tlie humble individual to peifm in ;
Dial job. The country is growing wis
er as it grows older, and realizes tlie tol
ly of changing a really great President
in defeicnce to a usage that lias nothing
but its age to recommend it.”
To our mind there is not a shadow of!
doubt, that Grant wiil be President du
ring life, lie is unscrupulous, and con- i
tiding the Treasury <.f the country, be,
can influence those who control public'
sentiment, to carry out any measure he
may desire. We may continue to have
the form r f an election every four years,
but the “cards are stocked,* and the re
sult will always bo decided in advance.
A Hoßßim.it Mitsdrr was c mmitted in
that portion of Warren county known as
the "neck, - ” on Saturday la* > irst., by a
Mr. Ed. C ark, upon Una burly oft i* wife.
We have beeh unable (?r see any one
from the locality where the deed was
committed, and are therefore unable to
give full particulars. Rumor slut's,
however, that ho struck her a blow with
a large iron spoom on the back of in r
head, cutting a Hirer* inch gash, he then
piled tlie chairs and rallies over her life-
I ss body, and setting lire to •them took
one of his children in his arms and made
his escape. Tire fire burned through tlie
floor and the body it the unfortunate
woman fell to the ground and was pierc
ed through and through by the falling ol a
partly burned sill the ragged end of the
sill tore the liver, heart ad entrails out
of the lifehsa body We also learn that
the youngest of the children, which the
field left in the burning building with
its mother, was badly burned.

A corn sposdcnl of the Savannah

citizen* of that-con nly, and tjp- ks to eu
li*t tlieU. S. a nth or i ties in securing re
venge. If Ifardrick is tire vile wrelcb j
represented by the writter referred to,'
(and wa do not doubt it,) it is a pity
that the innocent Smith received the
chstigation intruded foi the shoulders of
the former: it was the misfortune, liow
erer, of keeping bad company. The
following is an extract from the corres
pondence alluded to,:
“In the year of onr Lord 1810, there
lived in the county of Worth
ONE JAMES HAHDKICK,
who regarded not the marital tie; for,
although he wss a man of family—-hav -
ing a wife and several grown daughters
—he bad such Little respect for them that
he took a woman of vile character in the
house with them, and, in their presence
(so reported by his wife) was guilty of
adultery—forsaking the bed of his wife
for
this vn.r. PROSTITCTE.
This becoming known, a true bill was
found against bint, and he, with his cori
cobine, fled to Alabama, where, uoder an
assumed name, they lived as man and
wife lor about one year. When be
learned that the case was hushed up in
Georgia he returned, but did no better
His wife made complaint to tbe citizens,
I-egging that they would see her righted
Then' it was that a
I'ARCKI, or WII.O TOt'NG MEN
look it into their heads to avenge her—
tor who c-u withstand the oloading of
a woman ? So (as it is assert- and) on or
about the 10th of Febi nary, 1871, Jan.
H. GnJ, Louis Gregory, John Bryant,
WdliauiHern, William Kicks, and Jjim
Bow- ii, being on a little ‘ drinking spree,”
decided to go down to fiardriCK’s, take
him out, and iu the emfihatic la gouge
ot me provinces,
“give him heu..”
Ti ey did not disguise themselves, but
went in the same clothes mat they bad ;
been previo sly wearing, and did not, as
1 learn, seek to keep their errand a se~
met. It Is to 1-e regretted, since they
were determined to whip Hardrick, that
they were so deep in their cups in order
that they might have been able to know
U irdrick from any Olio - Ine; tint being
drunk, and believing tlvero was no man
ou the place HiiVM he wh oi they sought,
they walked in, gathered the first uian
they came to, carried him out und gave
him
a oKNTEKi, «inert no.
It so bappeited that a certain Mr. Jobe
Smith caughl the drubbing intended lor

We regret that the Treasurer hits put

would have preferred a popular loan
reaching down to all tho people, and
bonds of SOO and SIOO might have been
issued. Let James <>r Nutting be made
agents of the State; let tbe bonds be of

be taken, or we are greatly in error.
