Rome, Ga„ Sept. 4, 1872.
THE DUTY OF THE HOUR.
The New York Tribune gives the fol
lowing very sensible advice to the friends
of the Liberal cause:
They must understand that the admin
istration ia not going to be cS angcd by
an earthquake. They must work for
success. It is in politics as it is in war;
the battle is not always to the biggest
army, but rather to the best drilled. Our
campaign is to be short and sharp, and
we are likely to be beaten unless we do
more than we are doing now to get our
men into the field and secure recruits
from among the wavering and dissatisfi
ed. We say, then, that the friends of
the Liberal cause.
1. Don't waste all your strength on pa ■
rudes. Banners, bonfires, cannoii and
torchlight processions are very well in
their way, but they don’t make voters.
They only amuse the men who would
vote for your candidate anyhow.
2. Don't rely too much upon public meet
ings. They are one-sided affairs, which
neither develop your own strength nor in
fluence the followers of tho opposite par
ty.
3. Don't rely too much upon circulars.
Very few voters read them. They are
used for kindling and shaving paper. Be
sides, the Grant party has abused the
system to such an exteut that a man dis
trusts whatever comes to him in that
shape.
4. Don’t waste your money on Campaign
Chowder C'lvbs, and other frauds. This
is a great season for impecunious political
muckers. Ben civil ns you please, hut
-how them the door.
o. Organize the party thoroughly by dis
trict*, in every city, village, and township
of the United States. If there is no lo
cal organization where you live, get to
gether a few of your neighnors and form
one.
G. As soon as a club is formed appoint
idive canvassers to visit every house. Thus
> very man who believes in the principles
of our party cr.u be enrolled, and the
wants of cverv district can be ascertain
ed.
7. Have district meeting o n> regular
Canes, so that the spirit and interest of
the members may be sustained by associ
ation. Never mind gatherings for bun.
combe, but meet often lor business. Put
your clubs into communication with the
county or State associations, and report
to headquarters your needs, your pro
gress, and your strength.
8 Do these things at once. Begin vour
local clubs to-day. Tho opposite party
is active aud well disciplined, and we are
not. We have a great deal of lost time to
make up, and only a little while to do it
in. With energetic and well directed ef
fort, our victory iu Noveuber is certain;
but the prize will be snatched from our
hands if we do not rouse ourselves in
season.
The Tax of 1871 Must be Paid be
fore You eau Vote in 1872.
Comptroller General’s Office. }
Atlanta, Ga„ Aug. 20, ’72. j
./. ’/'. Kottman, Tax Collector, Thomaseillr,
Georgia:
Sir — Your letter of the 27th instant
has been received. It is your duty to
publish, at thecouit house door, your in
solvent list for 1871, and to furnish elec
tion managers of the county a list of all
persons who have not paid their taxes
for that year, in accordance with para
graph 7, section 037, Irwin’s Code, aud
all persons who have not paid all taxes
which may have been required of them,
and which they may have Dad an oppor
tunity of paying, agreeably to law, for
the year next preceding the election, can
not, under the Constitution, be allowed
to vote.
The payment of the tax for the year
1871 entitles the citizens t, vote in the
elections of the present year, and you
will receive the tax for that year and re
ceipt accordingly, although the tax pay -
r in a y hei in arrears tor lormer years.
In case of default in the. payment of
poll tax for 1871, you will collect one
dollar as poll tax, and one dollar as pen
aH'j for fahure to com pi s with the law.
Respect fully,
Madison Bell,
t .'omptroller General.
Personal Appearance of Jesus.
A correspondent <>! the Washington
> lironicle writes:
On Sunday last Uev. Dr. Newman de
livered a discourse upon the humanity of
lesus Christ, in which he stated that
nothing had been banded down to us in
ivgard to his personal appearance, many
different views being entertained on that
subject. Inclosed you will find a letter
written by Publius Lcntulus, President
of dudea, and sont by hitn to the Senate
at Rome, when the name ol Jesus began
to spread abroad in tho world. These
are his words:
“There lives at this time, in Judea, a
mau of singular virtues, whose name
is Jesus Christ, whom the barbarians es
teem a prophet; but. his own fellows adore !
him as tuc offspring of the immortal God.
He calls back the dead from their graves, j
and heals all sorts of diseases with a
word or touch.- He is tall and well shap
ed, of an amiable, reverend aspect. His
iiair, of a color that can hardly be match
ed, falling into graceful curls below his
ears, and very agreeably touching on his
shoulders, parted ou the crown of hi
head, like a Nazarite. His forehead is
smooth aud large; his cheeks without,
other spot save that of a lovely red; his
nose and mouth formed with exquisite
symmetry; his beard thick and of a color
as suitable to the hair of liU head, reach
ing an inch below his chin, aud parting
iu the middle like a fork; his eyes bright,
dear aud serene. Ho rebukes with nun.
csty, counsels with mildness; bis whole
address, whether iu word or deed, being
elegant aud grave. No iiiuu hus seen
him laugh, hut he has wept frequently.
Ho is very temperate, modest and wise;
a man, for his excellent beauty and di
vine perfection, aupassing the children ol
men.
Do not get to law unless you have 1
uothiog to loose; lawyers' houses are
built on fools' head#. j
