Judge D. M. Hood is a candidate for
Ordinary, fairly and squarely before
the Democracy for the nomination.—
Our past association with him in the
publication of the Atlanta Common•
wealth give us a pleasing opportunity
of bearing testimony to his many good
qualities, both of hand and heart. He
is honest and capable. His mind is of
a legal turn, and possesses the rare fac
ulty of arriving at once to the bottom
of a question and seeing it in nil its
lights. Ho has had experience as a
Judge of the’Inferior Court, and all his
decisions have been characterized by
their fairness and justness. Should he
he elected he will make a splendid offi
cer, one of which Floyd county may
be justly proud.
The reason the bloody shirt is such a
favorite garment with the Republicans
is because they can wrap so much
stolen plunder in its tail. Under its
ample folds they have succeeded in
stripping off from the Southern States
nearly $200,000,000 of dollars. At
the close of the war the debt of the
States of Virginia, North Carolina,
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Florida, Tennessee, Arkansas, Texas
and Louisiana aggregated 888,000,000.
Then the bloody shirt began to flap,
and now the debt of these States
amounts to $284,000,000, and it was all 1
stolen, the Sate3 having nothing to
show for all this money. It was hid
beneath the bloody shirt and carried
away. And now they are waving the
bloody shirt again. Fellow-citizens,
keep your eyes open and lookout for
another steal.
LETTER NO. XXVIII.
Venice, Italy, July 23,1876.
Dear Courier:
Since closing my lost letter in Rome,
on the 18th inst., you notice, from the
date above, that I have traveled nearly
tho entire length of tho Kingdom of
Italy. As we left Rome, wp had a view
of all that appears above ground of the
Catecombs. It is merely four or five
holes into the side of an elevated plain.
These entrances are about five by eight
feet, and it is said that one can enter
one of these and travel an indefinite
distance through nuriow subterranean
streets lined on both sides by tombs of
ancient Romans. These tombs are like
shelves, and thousands upon thousands
■—some say even millions—have been
buried there.
Our way to Florence, for the first
fifty miles, lay along the banks of the
Tiber. The bottom lands are from two
to eight miles wide, for the first twenty
miles, and cultivated in wheat, oats and
grass, producing heavy crops. It seemed
a little singular that on these lands
there were no olives, figs, or other trees,
but the only things to break tho monot
ony of the view were numerous “ricks”
of hay and grain, there being no houses
here, probably on account of the fre
quent overflows of tho river.
On the sloping hill-sides, and espe
cially on their tops, are numerous
beautiful chuteaux and not a few pala
tial residences, surrounded by forests
of olives, figs grapes, etc. It was along
hero that the only two threshing ma
chines seen in Italy were noticed. They
were portable steam machines, seemed
to be working nicely,and one would sup-
posethat the Italians would observe their
superiority over their present modes of
treading ont the corn,” and adopt
them.
One is everywhere struck with the
remarkable fertility of this country,
and also with the very primitive way
in which all the agricultural work is
performed. I havo not Been a real good
turning-plow in the Kingdom. They
universally uso a clumsy, awkward
wooden concern, with an iron point
and sort of double mould-board, laced
with sheet iron, with a beam extending,
and fastened to the ox-yoke. By this
they merely root up the ground to the
depth of six or eight inches, without
turning it at all; and yet the lands
produce as fine crops as you will see
on the best lands in America, though
they haye been in cultivation, in many
places, over 2,000 years.
Probably, tho principal reason why
Italy has not “ kept up with the times”
is because she has been almost contin
ually embroiled in wars, foreign nnd
domestic, ever since the fall of the
Roman Empire.
Another very notable thing is that
the traveler seeB no factories, and ii is
a wonder, when all the grapes are con
verted into wine, for nearly one-fourth
of all the cultivated land is in vine
yards, which teem with their juicy
fruit.
After leaving the Tiber, we pass
through a hilly country, and pass many
old towns, built on the hill-tops and
surrounded by once high walls, but
which are now in dilapidation.
Through here, as well as in all other
parts of the Kingdom, you will notice
tho very best kind of old Roman roads,
well graded and macadamized, with
very heavy stone bridges on Roman
arches.
We left Romo at 11 A. M., and ar
rived in Florence at 7 P. M.—200 miles
in eight hours. This is about the av
erage speed of express trains on Ital
ians railways. For the last twenty
miles before reaching Florence, our
way lay along down tho valley of the
river Arno, on the banks of which this
city is built. The scenery is exceeding
ly beautiful, and, as you approach the
city, there are hundreds of modern
residences scattered among the hills,
which are perfect models of beauty
and elegance, and these lovely homes
constitute the crowning feature of Flor
ence, which is styled tho fanciest city
of the earth. These hills form an am
phitheatre around the city, and give to
it its peculiar picturesqueness.
On one of these hills still stands the
Observatory of Galileo, and the birth
place of Dante is pointed out with
great pride by the Italians.
But the principal thing that has
made this city famous is the great at
tention that has been paid to the fine
arts, its collections of paintings and
sculpture ranking as the best in the
world. Here are Michael Angelo’s best
statues; here is the Venus de Medici,
considered the moat perfect statue in
the world; and here is Titian’s Venus,
regarded ns the best colored painting
extant.
Another wonderful curiosity in this
city is the Baptistery, where all the
children are baptised—somo 4,000 or
5,000 thousand annually. The doors
are of bronze; two of them were exe
cuted by Ghiberti, nnd they are about
30 feet high and 8 wide. They repre
sent, in ha" relief, the creation of Adnra,
banished from Paradise, Noah after the
Deluge, the Promise to Abraham, Esau
selling his Birth-right, Joseph and his
Brothers, Mt. Sinai, the Walls of Jeri
cho, and other scenes in Bible history.
This is regarded as the best work of
cast bronze in Europe, though there is
a sculptured bronzo gate in Venico that
surpasses this as a work of art.
This city is very neat and clean, but
the houses are quite plain, and the only
peculiarity that I noticed was the entire
absence of old buildings, and I en
quired of the guide if there were no
poor people in Florence. He replied
that the poor people lived in large
buildings, divided up into very small
tenements, which they got at very low
rent.
After rather a hasty visit to the most
noted galleries of Florence, we departed
for this place, via Bologna, on tho 21st.
Between Florence and Bologna, we
crossed tho Apennines, affording very
wild and picturesque scenery for some
30 or 40 miles miles. Tho road winds
around in the ascont, affording some of
tho loveliest views to be found any'
where; and passes through twenty-two
tunnels before reaching the summit.
One of these, over a mile long, had the
strange peculiarity of being quite
warm, instead of cold, like all other
long tunnels, and this fact was quite
suggestive of lato experience in ascend
ing Mt. Vesuvius. It is quite likely
that Vesuvius does not monopolize all
the pent up fires there are in this sec
tion of the globe, but other places—
though they have no ventilation yet—
may, at some time, break forth, and,
perhaps, rival it in grandeur and works
of fearful destruction.
As we approached the summit of the
mountains, it was very interesting to
notice tho snug little stone houses of
tho enterprising inhabitants, stuck into
the steep sides of the mountain, with
little patches of wheat, frequently not
more than three or four yards wide, on
the natural terraces. But these moun
taineers look as contented and happy
as those who live on the more produc
tive plains below. And it may be very
doubtful whether luxurious living in
creases the real comfort or happiness
of any people. My opinion is that it
does not, and that, take mankind gen
erally, tho middle class—those who
have to labor, and, by practicing rigid
economy, can only supply themselves
with the ordinary comforts, and very
rarely with a few of what are termed
the luxuries, of life—are by far the
happiest. The fact is, a man who is
never real hungry don’t know what it is
to enjoy good eating, no matter how
luxurious the food might be to one
with a keen appetite ; nor does he ap
preciate rest, unless he has experienced
severe fatigue.
We arrived at Bologna at noon, and
remained until 5 1’. M. We were un
fortunate in getting a guide—accepted
what seemed to be the best that offered,
who could only speak French. My
friend, the Russian Lieutenant, thought
he could speak that language sufficient
ly to get along with him, but he turned
out to bo very stupid—the guide,
mean,—and we fretted away most of
our time there in a very unsatisfactory
manner. Wo visited what is claimed
as the oldest college in the world, in
which Galvani was a professor;
church erected in the year 700 ; a pic
ture gallery; the cemetery with two
wonderful statues over the gateway
representing Grief; and an old cathe
dral that liaB a brass bar extending the
whole length of the marble pavement,
which marks tho north and south line,
or meridian, of the place.
For the first 40 or 50 miles, after
leaving Bologna, we were in the midst
of a wide, fertile plain, rich in the usu
al products of this country, but monot
onous to a traveler. We were not in
sight, yet not far from, the Adriatic Sea.
Before reaching this city, however, we
passed through a range of beautiful
hills, and witnessed one of those “ gor
geous sunsets,” for which Italy is so
celebrated, but which it has been my
misfortune to see hut few of.
Arrived in Venice at 10 P. M., and
took a gondola for Hotel St. Mark,
which fronts on tho famous square of
that'narae.
The very singular and unique features
of this city make it very interesting,
It is built on seventy-two low. muddy
islands—with mere lagoons—at the
north extremity of the Gulf. There
one grand canal that winds round
through the city, around these islands,
forming a complete letter S by its
course and directions. This canal
varies from 80 to 120 feet wide, and its
depth, at low tide, from five to ten feet.
The tide is about three feet here. Be
side this large one, there are 120 small
canals, from 12 to 20 feet wide. All
these 72 islands are completely covered
with buildings, except a very few open
paved squares, and streets from six
twelve feet wide. There are now three
bridges over the grand canal—the old
Rialto, a heavy stone bridge, and two
modern iron ones. All the bridges,
except the two iron ones, are shaped
like the ridge to a house, and have a
stone stairway over them.
Of course, there are no carriages or
horses in this city. The only horses
about the place are threo kept, in a
public garden outside for a show, and
our guide stated that there are proba
bly 5,000 among the population of 160,-
000 who have never seen a horse.
Nearly every building in the city is
washed by a canal on one side, and all
the transportation is done in gondolas
on the canals. The foundations of all
the buildings are laid by first driving
piles, some 20 feet, into the mud-earth
of these lagoons, nnd then building on
these. Nearly all the houses are four
or five stories high, and built of stone,
or of brick and stuccoed over. Those
on the grand canal—the old palaces of
the Doges and nobility—have marble
fronts, richly ornamented with col
umns, statuary, hay windows, etc.
Many of them now, however, are
browned with age and neglect, and
have quite a dingy appearance. Every
where, one sees plenty of evidence that
ihe glory of Venice has departed.
The gondolas are long, black boats,
turned up at both ends, the figure-head
is an enlarged model of Turkish board
ing pike, and most of those intended
for passengers have a little cabin jnst
high enough to Bit in. By a law en
forced since the days of Doges, all gon
dolas have to ho made after the same
pattern and color. • The reason of the
law for this is said to have been that
the citizens, in their pride and ambition
to excel one another in their “turp.
outs,” ran into great extravagance, cov
ering them largely with gold and trim
ming with silks and rich velvets. These
boats are of different sizes, and some
of them now have awnings, instead of
tho little oval-topped cabins. The me
dium 6ized ones are generally propelled
by a single gondolier with one oar. He
stands in tho rear end and directs it
with great precision, but never changes
his oar from sido to the other. No
doubt, there still exists much of the
poetical romance connected with these
famous boats, moonlight excursions,
dark night elopements, with love and
romance generally, but somehow these
black things look too much like hearses
to suit the gorgeous hopes of young lov
ers, and, as is usually tho case, stern
Reality plucks the fairest plumes from
Fancy’s wing.
The square of St. Mark, or the Piazza,
as they call it, is tho principal place of
public resort, and, in fact, the only
place, outside the public buildings,
where any considerable number would
have room ior assembling. This is an
open, paved court, 600 feet long by 300
wide, without a tree or shrub, or any
thing else, to break tho monotony, and
it resembles an open hall. The build
ings surrounding this Piazza are uni
formly four stories high, all of a light
yellow color, and the lower stories in
variably occupied by merchants and
shop-keopers, with a large number of
cafes. Every night, in summer, a fine
band plays hero from 8i to 101, and
the gay inhabitants assemble by thou
sands, and seem to have very social,
jolly times. On Sunday night, I think
there were, a* least, 5,000 people on
tho squaro. They promenade until
they get a little tired, and then tako
seat at some one of the thousand tables,
set out in front of the cufes, and call for
coffee, wine, beer, ice-cream, or what
ever elso they may want.
The grand masquerades and all large
assemblies are proverbially free from
all disturbances, for it seems to be the
maxim hero for everyone to enjoy
himself as he pleases, and allow every
one else the same undisturbed. privi
lege.
At the northeast corner of the grand
square is a short, wide street that leads
to the open bay, where large ships can
come and lie at anchor. On tho wharf
here are two solid granite pillars, about
30 feet high. On the top of one is
statue of St. Theodore, the patron saint
of Venico; and on the other is the
winged lion, the symbol of St. Mark,
Between these columns all public exe
cutions took place. As you go from
the grand Piazza to these pillars, you
pass tho old palace of the Doges. This
building, though erected in the four
teenth century, is in a perfect state of
preservation, and many a building 50
years old shows age quite as much as
this. It is 300 feet long, by 150 wide,
and five stories high, and has an open
court in the centre 100 by 50 feet,
you go through this court, and ascend
the first stairway, you arrive at the very
spot, where, in the name of republican
liberty, hundreds of innocent men
were murdered. At tho head of this
staircase is the open lion’s mouth
where anonymous letters of accusation
were deposited, and woe to the man ac
cused, if he could not prove himself
innocent. In another-place, inside the
Senate Hall, is another similar lion’s
mouth, where accusations of political
offenses were deposited. The lion’s
heads have been removed, but the holes
in tho wall and the boxes that received
these anonymous communications re
main. The grand assembly room con
tains the largest oil painting in the
world. It is by Tintorello. It repre
sents Paradise, and iB S7 by 35 feet.
The Senate Chamber, the Hall of the
Council of Ten, also that of the Three,
ore all in perfect preservation, and you
eair-easily imagine how those masked
men in black crapes looked as they sat
there in silence, and noted the white or
black ball, which gave life or death to
the trembling victim before them.
A canal about 20 feet wide separates
this palace from the prison, and the
notorious Bridge of Sighs, connecting
them, is about 30 feet above tho water.
Hundreds and hundreds of good men,
anonymously accused by some coward
ly enemy, were arrested nnd thrown
into this prison, and what becamo of
them afterwards was never known, ex
cept to the Council of Three ; for, after
being condemned the victim was close
ly masked, and even tho executioners
did not knu.v whose bodies thoy carried
far out by night and sunk in tho deep
sea.
The Church of St. Mark is one of the
most interesting places about Venice.
It stands at one end of the grand Pinz-
za, and, though the present edifice was
commenced in the year 977, is yet, ex
cept the pavement, in a fine state of
preservation. Over the grand entrance
are four bronze colossal horses
that have traveled quite extensively.
They were cast in Greece, and first
erected in the Hippodrome in Constan
tinople. When the Venetians captured
that city,they were brought to Venice;
then, when Napoleon captured Venice,
he carried them to Paris; but in 1815
they were returned to their present lo
cality. This church is 243 feet long,
by 171 wide—has five domes, 600
pillars. In rich marbles of great
variety,fine tombs, and paintings by the
old masters, it is only excelled by St.
Peter’s Church in Rome. The best
piece of sculptured bronze in the world
is here. It is a door, or gate, on which
Sansovani spent twenty yenrs. It rep
resents Scriptural scenes, in las relief.
The settling of the foundation has
caused the marble pavement to be
somewhat uneven, hut the walls show
no signs of decay.
In the church of Santa Maria Gloriaso
de Frari, are tho Tombs of Titan and
Conova, and behind, the former hung his
first, best and last paintings. His first at
the age of 14, is tho visitation of St.
Elizabeth, his best The Assumption of
the Virgin, and his last at the age of 85
is The Deposition. From this church
we went to the house of Shylock, then to
the first bank in the world, then to the
first newspaper office, and the took a
gondola down the grand canal and saw
where Othello, and Desdoraona are said
to have died, also the house of Iago, the
last is still owned by a man of that name.
I have scon no city that so well enter-
tertains—by its various objects of inter
est—a traveler, as Venice, and would
spend weeks instead of days here.

A New York letter of Thursday,
says: “An editorial appeared in the
Times this morning, which is making
considerable stir in the Republican
camp. The editor enters a forcible re
monstrance against what he calls the
perilous inactivity of both the National
and State Committees of the Republi
can party. The Nathoniul Committee,
we are futher told, have done nothing
since its organization, 'except to have
rooms and talk about the possibilities
of future action.’ Furthermore, ‘this
inaction is a subject of bitter com
plaint in Indiana,’ and has been the
subject of very emphatic remonstran
ces on the part of Western'Republicans.
&c., &c: There is good reason for
saying that the real trouble with the
Nathonial and State Committees is not
becaus of indolence or lack of energy
on their part, but the lack of money.
Very earnest efforts have been made
within a short time past to reimburse
the exchequer by the usual applica
tions to the merchants and bankers,
but these have met with little or no
responce, owing to the unfavorable con
dition of business. The Democratic
Committees are havieg similar experi
ences. Herein, then, is the true ex
planation of the ‘perilous inactivity ;
which is the subject of the Times'
complaint.”
