0-\ THE WHO,
April. 15,1873.
I lift tljje reader to finish, that sumptuous
fish breakfast at the hospitable board of^Dr.
B. Well it is vain for me to attempt to de
scribe that feast. But one thing was lacking
to make it perfect: A lady to preside at the
head of the table. Be it not understood that
onr friend is devoid of that indispensible
source of perfect domestic bliss—a good
wife—but his accomplished lady was .absent
on a visit to relatives in distress, much to
our regret. Breakfast over, a delightful drive
behind the Doctor’s fast honesfone of which
has made some notoriety upon the turf,
brought us back to the temple of Justiee.
Not having had an opportunity of reading
my last letter, I fear I shall repeat or omit
in this. Another day at the Court-ground,
and I am off to share the. hospitality of an
other of the clever citizens of this eounty,
sojourning eight miles in a different direc
tion from the Court-house to any that I had
traveled before. My object was to see as
much as possible of the country, soil, etc.
Here I spent another pleasant night, the last
for me for the present in Bullock' county,
though I hope to spend many more among
this clever pSople ere life’s labors are done.
No section of our grand old eommon-
wealth is more independent of the world
outside than this. The soil is easy of culti
vation, easily cleared and produces almost
every article of food necessary for man or
beast. At this season of the year, the woods
are like a mammoth wheat-field, swarming
with sleek cattle, sheep and game. Wheat
cannot be produced here, owing to rust.
Oats, on the contrary, grow to almost per
fection. Much of the fine timber (pine) of
Bullock county was destroyed in 1824 by a
tornado that swept over it. Yet there is
much remaining, and it is fast being brought
into requisition.
Uncle Sam has not done bis duty to this
portion of his domain in regard to postal-ar
rangements. If our Federal law-makers, in
stead of voting to increase their own pay,’
would appropriate, a small portion of the
amount thus improperly taken from the pub
lic treasury to the establishing of mail routes
in this and in seotions like situated, tho
country would be greatly benefited thereby.
Having formed the acquaintance of Mr. H,
one of the most whole souled gentlemen
with whom I have ever met, and who kindly
gave me a seat to No 7. I bade adieu to mine
host of the Fletcher house—whose ambi
tion, by the by, seems to be to leave nothing
within his power undone, that will add to
the comfort of his guests—and turned my
•face homeward once more, enjoying eh route
a pleasant evening at Scarboro.
A few hours rest and I am “on the wing”
again, this time destined for Wilkinson.
At No 16, it does not take long to arouse
Charlie Roberts, and soon he and “Tobe’>
are in readiness, and we all arrive just in
good time to partake of a sumptuous break
fast with Mrs. Baum. My [stay here was
necessarily very short—only one day—and
my time devoted almost exclusively to busi
ness. This was Judge Bartlett’s first Court
in Wilkinson. He is said to be very stric t
in the Court-room, and to dispatch business
rapidly. Parties and witnesses are not per
mitted to be called at the door, as formerly,
but must be present when wanted or take
the consequences.
As in many other sections, the cotton-cu-
ano fever is quite prevalefit in Wilkinson?” J
I was pained to find Dr. T. A. Simmons
on a bed of death. He died on Friday last,
leaving a young family disconsolate. Dr. S.
was an excellent Physician, a good citizen
and most beloved by the people. His loss to
the community is great.
Bidding adieu to 'good old Wilkinson I
turn again toward the green fields and tall
pines of the long grass region. Little did I.
anticipate the sadjnews that was in store for
me. Knowing that it was Col. A. W. Daley’s
custom to attend Montgomery Superior Court,
I purposed calling and spending the night
tinder his hospitable roof and then having a
pleasant ride with him to M’t. Vernon. Im
agine my feelings upon meeting with a
member of his family , and learning that my
staunch old friend had died on the Thursday
before. Peace to his ashes. CoL Daley was
for many years a prominent citizen of Tatnall
county, and had represented with credit his
District in the State Senate.
My journey to-day was anything but pleas
ant. About ten o’clock rain commenced foil
ing and continued until in the afternoon
The road, naturally hard to find, in many
places was completely blocked up by fallen
timber prostrated by the fearful 6torm of the
8th. The hand of Him who holds the winds
in his grasp seemed to have held the blast
above the tops of the houses and to have pro
tected human life. I heard of some injury
to stock, one man reporting a number killed.
At almost every bouse, many of them for
from railroad communication, was to be seen
the inevitable guano barrel or sack, showing
how widespread is the thirst for commercial
manures. On a portion of my route the
country is very sparsely settled, many miles
intervening between habitations. The scene
was often enlivened, however, by herds of
fat cattle, feasting upon the tender grass,
and roaming the forest at will. Milk and
butter, so highly valued elsewhere, seems to
be little cared for, the cattle being raised for
beet
Thursday morning brought me to the
Court-house, and right glad was I to be
there. Court was in Bession, his Honor,
Judge A. C. Pate, presiding, with the follow
ing Attorneys present: Capt. R A. Stanly,
Solictor, CoL Stabbsand J. W. Conner, Esq.,
of Dublin; CoL Josephus Camp and Messrs.
Ward & King, of Swainsboro; CoL L Beasly,
of Reidsville; Judge J. R L. Allen, of
Wrigbtsville; H. W.J.Ham.'Esq., of Eastman;
J. E.fKicks,Esq., of ML Vernon. Jndge Pate,
I am proud to say, is a native of Washington
eounty, and never will she blush to call him
son. He is quite a young man yet, and has
attained his present eminence by a life of
unswerving integrity and devotion to his pro
fession. CapL Stanly, Solicitor, is one of
the most pleasant, affable gentlemen with
whom I ever meL His kind heart would
prompt him to act rather for. those in’trouble
than as a prosecuting attorney. Yet as an
officer of the State he is fearless and faithful,
and woe betide the guilty criminal who comes
before him for prosecution.
As there is much that I desire to say about
the good people of Montgomery, my pleas
ant sojourn among them ,my journey to Dub
lin, the latter and its improvements, beauties
and attractions, I shall have to defer the
matter to another issue., I expect to be with
the clever people of Emanuel during a por

, The Decline of Republicanism-
i. - j r •‘Oh! love of country, once how sacred deem’d
’ Oh! sad reverse of manners oi
m’d"
To those who have a reverence for the free, 1
simple republican institutions established by.
our forefathers,' it is appalling to see how
swiftly we are drifting—yea, drifting upon the
current of events which is steadily bearing
ns farther and farther from the old landmarks
of liberty. That love of country which was,
in “auld lang syne,” deemed sacred by every
patriot, has been blunted by the overweening
self love of individuals; public spirit has
been over run by a fearful spirit* df selfish
aggrandisement, and laws have been pervert
ed, and legislation polluted, by corrupt and
avaricious officials.
But it seems that the present deplorable
and almost forlorn condition of the “best
government the world ever saw,” is attributa
ble to some radical defect in the incipient or
ganization of the government Our system,
of government it seems, is an assumed posi
tion. We assume that all men ato equal, that
all are possessed of intelligence sufficient to.
direct and choose, and govern aright Our
elective system, by a strict and correct con
struction, presupposes ’ the' intelligence of
every elector. Again, those whom we elect
are presumed to possess integrity of charac
ter, with intelligence. We decide important
questions by the ballot box,[on he assumption
of the intellection of every mas, and wdhccept
the choice of the majority as Correct We
have no restrictions orjfemialifications for
Voters. Universal suffrago*exists, and itjs
not our purpose now to discuss the equity, or-
iniquity of the rule ; it exists, and we-
must make the.most of it we can.
Tho political substratum of onr government is
the hypothesis of these two things, intelli
gence and integrity, and upon -the theroy
that every man is capable of choosing aright,
and of self-government, we decidff matters
at tho ballot box. But the practice has not
been all the time in. harmony with the theory,
nor has the theory proved sufficient to pro
mote the interests of republicanism nor of
mankind. But what then; shall we disced the
theory Us impracticable and accept Imperial
ism as the only correct form of government
for man. No, but let every man receive in
struction, and endeavor to make the practice
of our government accord with the theory.
But the tendency seems now to be to Tm-
perialism, and can it be averted now by the
ballot-box? Is there sufficient force in that
to change the tendency, and restore an
equilibrium in the government ? Is not the
ballot-box already too much under the con
trol of vicious demagogues, and is not the
venality of the balloters too nearly a foregone
conclusion, to hope to avert the direful cal
amity which seems to threaten true republi-.
can principles and our free institutions ? An
apathy seems to have come over the people, a
lack of the proper public spirit seems to be
upon all, a dreadful inactivity seems to have
come over all, and while this is even so,
tho chains of despotism are being fastened
upon us almost unconsciously by thejinsidi-
ous artifices of designing men. Beware, be
ware. If some ambitious American Napoleon
should attempt an extraordinary coup d'etat
to establish Imperialism in-America,’ is the in
telligence and integrity of the masses who
are at present allowed to express their wills
by important privilege of the ballot-box, suffi
ciently sound to resist the pressure, and tarn
off the calamity? -The only remedy i&for the
peoplp to awakafroia.th^i indifference; arouse-
from their apatiy..The highest duty which any
citizen may discharge to his government, is
to maintain the right and ? never sacrifice a
good principle.
Elder Will C. Moreau.
Elsewhere in our columns will be found a
Card from this gentleman in reply to the very
bitter attack made upoii him by the Indian
apolis Sentinel which is now going the rounds
of the sensational press. Mr. Korean has
placed in our hands evidence which not only
shows the truth of the charges of the Senti
nel article to be impossible, but also goes to
show the true reason of that Journal’s war
upon him ; he does not ask any one to take
his statements, but only asks q fair exami
nation of the evidence be offers. Mr. Moreau
has been a strong, bitter partisan, and by his
pronounced and vigorqp3 course during and
since the war has won for himself the fierce
and scourging hate and enmity of the Radi
cal party all over the country, and last year
when he enlisted with the “straight outs,” the
Sentinel, which, os we see from other papers,
has been profuse in its commendations of him,
became most bitter and savage in its war
against him, and this last article is but a con
tinuation of that war.
W$ speak from our own knowledge when
we say that sincehe has been with ns, 3D.
Korean’s conduct has been unexceptionable.
We have been associated with him very often,
and we have never yet detected anything in
his deportment that was unbecoming a gen-
tleraan and a Christian. He has given his
whole time to the service of the churches and
seems to be really in earnest And just
it appears to us that on excellent opportunity
is offered to all of us to exorcise a great deal
of Christian forbearance and eharity, in other
words, to “practice what we preach” Re
member the divine injunction, “Prove all
things ; hold fast that which is good.” He
may be called a hypocrite, but we dp not
know bis heart; bear in mind the precept,
“Judge not thatye be not judged." They say
be is a man of evil designs, but he has not
demonstrated, it here. We read from the
word of God, “there is none good, no, not
one.” He "does not claim immunity from
errors of the past ;he frankly admits that he has
committed many errors, and “an honest con
fession is good for the souL” Remember the
precept of Christ .when the poor sinful woman
was brought before him for condemnation,
“Let him that is without sin cast the first
stone. ” Whatever may have been his antece
dents , his sojourn here has certainly been a
bright spot,—a fertile Oasis of good,—in his
desert life of evil, and may he he enabled to
* live so that all his future life may be. filled
with good deeds, and may his good works not
be impeded by the aspersions of calumny.

Mrs. Mary S. Massey wife of John W. •
Massey, died at his residence on Thursday,
10th inst, at 10 o’clock. She was 47 yean of
age, and has been a consistent member of the
Christian church for the last 14 years. She
was a kind mother, an affectionate wife, and
a devoted Christian. “Our loss will be her
eternal gain. ” The Lord giveth and the Lord
taketh away, blessed be the name of the
Lord.
Died suddenly, near Linton, on the 19th
of March, little Ai.bie Tbawick, aged 1 year
and 5 months.
This sad bereavement was occasioned by a
simple fall over the rocker of a chair, while
playing with her little sister. Oh ! how
sudden!
“Death rides on every passing breeze,
And lurks in every flower.
Each season has its own disease,
Its peril every hour.”
May Almighty God comfort the. hearts of
the bereaved parents, and sanctify this sore
trial to their eternal good! And though
their beloved AIbie “cannot come to them,”
yet through the merits of Jesus, “they
may go to her” in the bright Land “beyond
the river*” A.
Died, in this 'County, on the 9th of April,
1873. Euzabxth Duggan, the beloved wife
of Rev. Asa Duggan, in the seventy-first
year of her age.
Peacefully, has passed away this mother in
Israel, after years of bodily suffering, which
she has borne with that sublime fortitude
and resignation, so characteristic of the sin
cere Christian.
No wife was ever more loved and cherished
by a husband, no mother more honored in
the family, no one more highly esteemed in
the community, no Christian more reverenced
by the people of God at large, than was this
faithful follower of the meek and lowly Jesus.
Some forty-fivo years ago, when still in the
bloom of youth, she united herself with the
Baptist Church of Christ of which denomi
nation her venerable husband is still a
bright and shining luminary in the nr --- '—
Her religious life was marked by a steady
growth. Like a river, its coarse was onward,
until merged in the perfect life of a redeemed
and glorified saint, - - 04 .
Death had lost its stingfor her. Her tran
sition to the abode of bliss, has been preced-
. ed by eight of her twelve children, with
whom she is doubtless now rejoicing, in
meeting again around their Saviour.
Her . dying couch was surrounded by her
. venerable husband and her four remaining
children, (three sons and one daughter), ana
many sympathizing friends, bowed .in grief
at their earthly bereavement May a merciful
Providence grant them that consolation, that
her teachings and example have prepared
them for, to accept an<T may they all meet
again, in that bright world above, where no
earthly sorrow nor parting are known.
FRIEND.
Died in Laurens county, Ga., on the night
of the 10th of April, 1873, lira. Pebuxlu
Matilda Scarboro, wife of Rev. W. H. Scar
boro. -
In the midst of the deepest domestic af
fliction she passed away, but in the triumphs
iof the Christian’s faith.
Bro. Scarboro arose from his bed, prostrate
as he was, and ministered to her every want
but bronchitis supervening upon a badly de
veloped attack of measles, she straggled a
few days for breath and passed away beyond
the reach of suffering. May the faith of an
afflicted brother, which has burned so bright
ly during former trials stand the test of this
crowning ordeal is the prayer of
Dublin, april 11,1873. Many Friend*.
Died March 23rd, 1873, lbs. Elizabeth
Houghton, age 38. During a prostrated ill
ness she was patient and unoom plaining,
ever thoughtful of others comfort Tis said
death loves a shining mark and in this in
stance it is verified. Many families will miss
her cheering smile and helping hand. Wid
owed at the early age of nineteen, she oame
back to her old home with one ohild whom
she leaves to mourn her early departure. Kay
