QUITMAN:
THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1873.
Si vs) minlt KfpnMlrani
Tliis time-honored journal, which for
wrentT-odd years has been a valuable
vehicle of information, and a l»old and
fearless advocate of great political truths,
on last Saturday succumbed to inexora
ble fate, and surrendered forever its
name and existence. It is now classed
among the things of the dead past; but
its glorious record will live in the future,
so long as there are eyes to read and
brains to comprehend great, inoral and
political truths.
Messrs. Bkard & Kimball, the enter
prising proprietors of the Savannah Ad
vert iter, are the purchasers es the Ilepuh
lican,.and have merged it, with the for
mer, under the name of the Advertiser ts-
Republican. The change, no doubt, will
prove advantageous, and we predict for
the combination, a brilliant and prosper
ous future.
A Trngeilv hi Lake City.
A terrible tragedy occurred at Lake
City, Florida, on Wednesday of last
week, by whieh Paul W. Crews lost his
life, and a negro named Moore, will in
all probability die, from the effects of a
serious wound. It apjiearH that, consid
erable excitement hos prevailed at. Lake
City ever since t.ho midnight riot of
March last, and recently Crews attempt
ed, by a publication in the Savannah
New*, over the signature of ft respecta
ble citi/.en, fco implicate an innocent par
ty in the riot alluded to. His connec
tion with the transaction w;is exposed;
which was so extremely mortifying, that,
he got, drunk, became very boisterous,
and used his fire-arms in a reckless man
ner. Finally, three negroes, Jordon,
Moore and Hightower, approached him
with guns and pistols in their hands:
Crews fired and wounded Moore fatally,
and then fired at Hightower, when the
latter shot. Cnu dead, and although
wounded, inatbWls escajHj.
End of ihe Modoc Wnr—Capt .lack
a Prisoner.
To the gioat, relief of the blundering
government at, Washington, “Capt. Jack,
of the Lava Beds,” has surrendered, and
the Indian war has reached its finale.
By death anil capture the Modoc force
hud lieon reduced to Captain Jock, two
warriors, and several wotnen and chil
dren, and these were forced to surrender
on last, Sunday evening. The dispatch,
giving particulars of the last act, in the
huge farce, was dated “Clear Lake, Cal.,
June Ist.," and is as follows:
A set ion of prolonged yells and cheers
aroused this camp from a pleasant siesta
a half hour after the departure of my
last courier. Generals Davis and Whea
ton and other officers, and all the men,
rushed from home and tents to find the
cause of the uproar, and at once the
whole camp was in commotion. Dovjn
the level plain, north of the house, was a
grand cavalcade of mounted horsemen.
The steeds rushed forward at once at a
furious rate, and soon neared the groups
of spectators scattered about the premi
ses. “Capt. Jack is captured,” shouted
a sturdy sergeant,, and again the valley
mug with cheers and yells. The moun
ted command was Perry’s. He had re
turned from a scout of 23 miles above
the mouth of Willow Creek. At, half
past, ten o’clock this morning the Warm
Spring scouts struck a trail, and after a
brief search the Modoes were discovered.
Col. Perry surrounded the Indian re
treats ami bis men were bound to fight.
Suddenly a Modoc shot out from the
rocks with a white flag. Hemet a Warm
Spring Indian, and said Jack wanted to
surrender.
Three scouts were sent to meet Jack.
He came out cautiously, glancing about
him » moment and thin, as if giving up
all hojan, conic forward and held out his
hauds to his visitors. Then two of his
warriors, five squaws and seven children
darted forth and joined him in the sur
render.
Capt. Jack is about forty years old,
five feet eight inches high, and compact
ly built. He is full of individuality, and
although dressed in old clothes, he looks
every inch a chief. He does not ajieuk
to any one. The Modocs are grouped in
a field near the house and surrounded
by a gitard. The spectators peered into
Jack's face with eager interest., but he
beholds them not. He is still as a stat
ute.

A correspondent of the Rich
mond DisjMteh says the State “civil
rights" bill in Mississippi does not seem
to give white folks much trouble. He
saw only one negro in a first class rail
way car, and he looked “mighty lone
some," anil the hotel keepers, &c., are
sharp enough to evade it very effectually.
In a test case at Vicksburg, recently, a
Radical Judge whom the negroes had
elected decided that it was unconstitu
tional; whereupon the Sambos rose in
their wrath and decided, at an indigna
tion meeting, that hereafter they would
put none but their own color ujxm the
bench. If the white knaves who put the
negroes up to demanding and passing
such laws had either sense or memory
they might see the fate of these laws in
that of the fugitive slave law at, the
North. Public opinion was against the
law, and in the end —as it always will—
proved stronger than the law.

the 28th, and destroyed ,*102,000 worth
of projiertv. It was the work of an iu

HORTICULTURAL AND FLORAL
EXHIBITION AT THOMA3VILLE.
We were present on last Friday at the
grand Horticultural and Floral exhibi
tion, on the Fair grounds of the “South
Georgia Agricultural and Mechanical
Association," situated a short distance
from the enterprising city of Tbomas
ville; and we are happy to announce that
the affair waa a complete success.
The display of every character of
Spring vegetables far surpassed our
most sanguine expectations, and the flo
ral exhibition was ically magnificent:
there were beautiful wreaths, towering
pyramids, imposing crosses, splendid
boquets, <fcc., all giving evidence of the
admirable taste and artistic skill of the
fair ladies of Thomas. The floral exhi
bition was the centre of attraction, and
although a thousand tongues uttered
words of praise, they were but a faint
tribute of appreciation of the real merits
of this most wonderful display.
In the vegetable line there were, in
profusion, cabbages, turnips, lieets, on
ions, potatoes, tomatoes, beans, squash
es, cucumbers, Ac., Ac., and wo unhesi
tatingly give it as our opinion, that the
display, as to size, quality and variety,
cannot be excelled in any country. 'The
exhibition, therefore, was a success, and
no doubt will influence an annual repeti
tion. It was more attractive than the
annual Fairs of the South Georgia Ag
ricultural Association, and furnished a
true illustration of the wealth of our sbil
and advantages of this delightful cli
mate.
The premiums awarded on this occa
sion were as* follows :
REGULAR PREMIUMS.
For tlic best anil largest collection of vegeta
bles— s|i> divided between John Stark and K.
TANARUS, Davis.

For the cleanest, nicest dressed, and finest

lotla. daughter of S. Goldstono.
The attendance at the exhibition far
exceeded the expectation of the clever
people of Thomasville. They came
from Boinbridge on the west, Albany on
the north, Blackshear on the east, and
Montieollo on the South, and all the in
termediate country was represented by
its manhood anil beauty. Wo should
judge there wore present between fifteen
hundred and two thousand persons,, and
all appeared to intensely enjoy the oc
casion. The Thomasville and Quitman
Cornet Bands furnished splendid music,
and the ladies and gentlemen of the
city and county vied with each other in
extending courtesies to the visitors.
A splendid dinner was served on the
grounds, and for variety, quality and
quantity of viands, it was unexception
able. Everybody cat to their heart’s
content, and still there was an abundance
remaining to supply a regiment.
The Quitman Cornet Band, although
two very important instruments were
missing, crowned itself with laurels. It
received the plaudets of not only the
citizens of Thomasville, but likewise the
vast concourse of visitors, for the digni
fied and manly deportment of its mem
bers, and the very excellent- music fur
nished.
The Thomasville Band also plays well,
and we particularly admired its beautiful
uniform. The citizens look upon tlxeir
band with great pride, and extend to it
generous encouragement.
Personally, we are under many obliga
tions to several of the citizens of Thorn
asQUe for courtesies, on this occasion,
and especially to our esteemed friend,
Capt. T. S. Paine, and his beautiful and
accomplished lady.
Aliiltmn in Parvo.
In a very few lines the Memphis Ap
peal furnishes the whole argument in fa
vor of cotton factories at the South:
The Columbus (Ga.,) factories consumed
in the year 187*2, six thousand two hun
dred and eighty bales of cotton, against
four thousand nine hundred and eleven
the year previous. If this cotton had
been sold at eighteen cents per pound it
would have realized five hundred and
fifty-eight thousand seven hundred and
twenty dollars. It was passed through
the Columbus mills, its value trebled,
and sold to the country north, south,
I east and West for one million six hun-
I dred and seventy-six thousand one hun
| dred and sixty dollars. Tims, Columbus
cleared one million 0.. e hundred and
seventeen thousand four hundred and
forty dollars, and retains the money
here, because she has the spirit to erect
and maintain factories.
—Five persons wore killed by falling
walls at the recent fire in Boston.
—A dispatch from Dayton, Ohio, says
that President Grant’s father "erpecUi to
die in June.” Wonder if there will be
“no postponement on account of the
weather r”
18 DEMOCRACY DEAD ?
The Memphis Ledger, under the above
caption, says, we have no means of know
ing the distinctive features whieh dis
tinguish one party from another except
by the principles professed by each.
Corruption will creep among men into
the party in power until the sterner vir
tue of the people of a republic is roused
to reform. And then, if there is life in
the land, and a party with principles is
ready organized, it has the vantage
ground and should la: the nucleus around
which such Republican integrity as re
mains should rally and array itself. By
this process alone is constitutional gov
ernment ever to lie restored ? The Dem
ocratic principles are known and as fa
miliar as A B C’s to all, and, in the se
lection of public officials, they demand
in substance as defined and summed up
by the founder and their greatest apos
tle and advocate, nothing more and noth
ing less than honesty, capacity and integ-
rity to the Constitution. To advocate
these is now what the Administration
party and some renegade spoil hunters
are pleased to denominate in derision,
fogyisin and fossil hunting. But. their
advancement must necessarily prove as
fatal to the well-being of the country as
the desertion of the maxims of ethics to
the good morals or the authoritative
enunciations of divine truth to the relig
ion of a people. Nobody doubts what
any of these are. The only doubt is
whether a majority of our people in these
demoralized times will march up to them
and stand upon jthem. And this is a
doubt whether we are to have free insti
tutions any more forever on this conti
nent, which is impossible when the land
marks and principles of their founders
are abandoned. It is easier to sneer, and
in corrupt times it may be more popular,
to ridicule than to seriously ponder and
prers truths of any sort. And then it
may be well for our country if it should
have some “fossil” principles, and men
who will lie bravo and self-sacrificing
enough to hunt them up. Suppose the
men of old-fashioned ideas, who love
their country and the good old ways,
whieh in bettor days could not be de
parted (from without disgrace, should
rally now for the salvation of the land
from misrule. What then ? Would it
be a proper subject for honest congratu
lation or for satireand contempt? Would
it bo desirable, and result well or ill?
Would the press sentinels, on the watch
towers of liberty, which should encour
age and labor for such a consummation
most deserve the approval or condemna
tion of reflecting and judicious men,
whose opinions alone are worth regard
ing ? The settled principles of the Dem
ocratic party of this country at this day
are the same by whieh W’higs and Dem
ocrats alike were sworn, and whieh but a
few years ago none dared so much as at
tempt to parry. They stand out dis
tinctly and unmistakably as the lights
which God has set in His firmament on
high. Whether they are to be abandon
ed or adherred to is now the issue on
trial before the people, on which hangs
the future of liberty. The men of “pro
gress” now have taken up the older rule
than all, that of expediency rather than
principle, and on this subject the Mobile
Register says better than we can do: “If
a Democratic platform is built on the
ground of expediency, with an eye to
pleasing and uniting the greatest numl>er,
the work is a failure from the beginning.
But, built of the solid timber of unques
tionable Democratic principles —a plat
form of the era of Andrew Jackson —
while many may hesitate and question
the expediency of certain planks, none
will question the purity, the authenticity
and the enduring worth of the whole
structure. In other words, if vou would
have your house stand, build it on the
solid rook of principle, and not on the
shifting sands of expediency.
Nothing is more common than to hear
it confidently said that the Democratic
party has lived out its days of usefulness
and possible life—“played out,” to use a
common phrase; but this is not because
Democratic principles have lost any of
their salt, or saving power. Indeed,
they are the very medicine for the politi
cal ills of the hour. Applied to the
rules of government at Washington, eve
ry disorder on the body politic, from
Maine to Texas, would melt away, like
the mists of a morning before a summer
sun. Why, then, will not the Demo
cratic party reorganize and spring to the
front of governmental power in this
country? If it does not, it will la l sim
ply because the men who belong to and
believe in it, have been frightened out of
their wits and courage by the howl of
its enemies, that its day is gone; that the
war has revolutionized the government;
that the republic has entered upon anew
era of progress; that might has subju
gated right; that our fathers’ wisdom is
turned to foolishness, and their children
into slaves, because we have had a civil
i war of four years’ duration. What
American Democrats need is faith in
their faith—its energetic and saving
principles, in its power to work reform,
to restore liberty and right to forty mil
lions of people, and to abuse bad men
who have stolen into high places, and to
root out the pernicious practices and
I principles that have brought the institu
| tions of our ancestors to the verge of de
] struction. Yes, it is easy enough to find
out what Democratic principles are, but
' to find men with the nerve and the cour
-1 age to uphold them, hie labor, hoc opus est.
| Democrats have got the cause; all they
want, is the pluck to stand up to it. We
are of those who firrnlv believe in Demo
cratic resurrection. Not to believe it
would be to lose faith in the native sense
of the American people, and to give them
1 over to a master.”

The HIVE has proved by its merits to be the
most practical in use, having the advantages of
all others, viz : ease of access to the brood
frames, without having to remove the c vor. ho
ney boxes, surplus frames, or honey board. The
brood Irenes being removed from the back of
the hive w ithout, in the least, injury to the combs
or disturbing the working of the bees.
The EXTRACTOR is the most simple, cheap,
and durable machine that has cone before the
public. It will empty large combs or pieces w ith
great facility. It works very easy, and the prin
ciples applied are the simplest in nature, being
the combination of gravitation with centrifugal
lorce.
Any person or persons desirous of purchasing
or examining tbe Hive and Extractor, will call
at my office, or address me at Quitman, Ga.
TERMS:
Single Right to nse Hive $5 00
