Lillian, his infant sister. Though then the
suffering subjeet of Whooping Cough, that
scourge and blight of young hitman life, he

forth from loving lips around her bier. Her

little hands had seized the golden Harp and
her lips were lisping the sweet anthems of
the “Angels singings” ! She had only gone
before. Amid the lovihg caresses and tender,
watchful, care of father and mother, and'
brothers and' sislers, he lingered on in pain
and suffering until 9,15 P. M. 12th Inst,
when life's weary little wheels stood still and
his redeemed spirit went home to God.
Jodie was a bright beautiful child. The
fourth summer’s sun was just- rising upon
him. Ah ! how *rejoiced 'would have been
ouryeaming hearts to have held him here—a
flower to adorn the gardens of earth ! But God
knew besh He saw the canker, and the
worm, the chilling winds and the biting:
frosts which might come to blight and des
troy the lilly and the rose, and He sent His
angel to gather tnein and transplant them in
His own nursery in the skies.! Bereaved
ones ! May God temper the wpnd to His
shorn lambs! One, two, three little graves
side by side ! But three more flowers which
“bloom to die no more” in the garden of
God. Three more seraphic spirits added to
the shining ranks of the redeemed ! Three
more golden links in the strong chain of love
which hinds our bleeding Hearts to the
Throne above !
One little incident in connection with Jo
die’s closing history upon, earth is peculiarly
suggestive and impressive. At night,—the
evening before his death,—the birds, “the
beautiful birds,” gathered,—a-feathered choir
—in the trees hard by the dwelling and sang
most.sweetly . Jodie caught the njelody.of
song as it trilled from tuneful pipes, and
said: “I hear the birds'singing ! What kind
of birds are they, Ma ma ? His pale pain

soul inspired by the inusic-of these God-sent
Serenaders from the leafy groves to make
melody about his dying couch. Well might,
ha have thought of the song “Beautiful Riv

he have thought and talked to his mother
about the “Angels singing.” Well might his
spirit have bounded in glad,anticipation of
what he was so soon to hear, so soon to be—
A Littte Angel ! ,
“O ! sing once more before I go.”
The birds ceased their melodies. Soon,
anon, little Jodie’s spirit too took its flight.
We took his little body and laid it tenderly

in Ms-infinite mercy sustain the husband with

- Mrs. Renfroe’s death brings a sense of
breavement over this entire community. Her
character was strongly marked by all those
lovely qualities of mind and heart which com
mand respect and love. In all the relations
of social life she was without reproach—and
without enemies. “7b knoic her was to love
her.” In her own'immediate family circle,
“her price was above rubies.” In finding
her, her husband realized, in all its fores and
sweetness, the truth of the apostolic declar
ation; losing her, ho lost what Heaven alone'
can repay !
Her death was one of Christian trinmph.
And no wonder. Long years ago she gave
her hand to the church’ and her heart to
God. Her’s was not a profession simply—
but a principle, a doep Christian principle
that pervaded heart and life, shining forth
in word and deed;—impressing, elevating and

Cotton T.ax Unconstitutional.—“Y^e are-
in receipt of information, says the Atlanta
Herald, that the United States Court oflClaims
has decided that the cotton tax law, under
which some eighty-eight millions of dollars
were collected, wns unconttitutional: It ap
pears that a Mr. Berg, instead of petitioning
Congress to refund the tax paid by him,
brought suit -in the Court of Claims for its
recovery, employed eminent counsel, among
whom was the present able Ordinary of Chat
ham county. This gentleman a few days
ago received a private letter which announced
that 'the court was against the uncoristitution-
ality of the law, but itsdecision has not yet,
we believe, been officially promulgated. To
a very large number of our readers' this in
telligence will be most gratifying, as it will
enable them to recovere the money illegally
wrung from them at a time when they were
most in need of freedom from taxatidn.”-

the previous week, and 55,830 bales three
weeks since, making the total receipts since
the first of September, 1872, 3,301,940 bales,
against 2,600,460 bale’s for the same period of
1871-72, showing ah increase September 1,
1872, of 701,480 hales.
The week’s receipts at the interior ports
were 9,541 bales against 4,44.3 last year. The
shipments were 11,744 against 6,244, and the

to either' mar the pleasure or lessen the joy
of any. We returned to our respeetire homes

SandeBsvtlle, May10th, 1873.
Editors Atlanta 7/rraM—Your hotice that W.
C. Moreau, ib company with Dr. Roberts,
one-of the Elders of the Christian Church
of-Saijderswlle, had demanded af- me, as
State Evangelist, an. investigation of the ‘re
ports’ circulated, damaging to his reputation
as a Christian gentleman, and that 1 had ap
pointed a Commission for that purpose, and
named Sandersville for the sitting, makes it
necessary^for me to make the following state
ment. . ,
Sinco.my arrival in this city, I learn that
the churches to which Mr. Moreau had been
preaching, seeing and hearing said ‘reports’,
had, previous to my appointment, themselves
appointed a meeting, and ordered Moreau to
appear before them, to answer said charges.
I state in justice to Moreau that I am inform
ed he requested- the churches to postpone
their action until after the sitting of my com
mission, but they felt that if the reports
were true, they were the parties.principally
aggrieved, and determined to make him an
swer before them. They intended to, and did
send Relegates to represept them before the
comffl^on, but having already tried the
case, they were disqualified to sit in a new
trial.
I am constrained to regard these proceed
ings as irregular, but as the churches are en
tirely satisfied and have npon testimony en
tirely satisfactory to them, acquitted Moreau,
and re-instated him as their Pastor, I shall
not seek to change their action nor disturb
their judgment. I know tbe men well who
acted in this matter, and am sore they are
utterly incapable of engaging in a mere white
washing process, but whatever they did, was
what they believed best, and fully sustained
by the testimony. -
I shall entertain the hope that Mr. Moreau,
by an entire consecration of his life to God,
an! the-devotion of his fine abilities to the
cause, will justify the confidence so^ gener
ously bestowed.
'For the reason, that ‘I found Mr. Moreau
had been triedWd reinstated, and was serv
ing the churches as their Pastor, possessing
their entire confidence, I deemed it unneces
sary to have him again put upon his defense.
Respectfully,
Thos. M. Harris.

bronze, of heroic size, and represent
ing the hero as standing in a favorite
attitude of absorbing thought. The
work was completed some time since,
but owing to the circumstances which
can be better understood than ex
pressed, the donors have postponed
its shipment to this country. Lately,
however, Mr. Hope has written to a
Virginia officer, who was the intimate
and comrade of Stonewall Jackson,
asking his advice as to the best dis
position to be made of the statue,
and the recipient of this communi
cation has consulted with other Con
federate officers. As yot no determi
nation has been arrived at; but it
cannot be long before a site will be
chosen.
The Blue and the GbAy.—At a
recent reception in Charleston in
honor of Genera! John B. Gordon,
that gallant soldier and hero gave ut
terance to the following sentiment.
It was in reply to a toast in honor
of himself:
“Again thanking you, ladies and
gentlemen, for the great honor you
have done me, I offer, in conclusion,
a sentiment which I think accords
with, the spirit of the occasion, and
which, I am sure, both our host and
ourselves will appreciate. I regret
that i cannot make the toast more
universal in its scope; but.I should,
expect my glass to fall from my grasp
if I dishonored the dead of both ar
mies by asking you to honor those
who have sought since the war to ex
cite a bitterness to which they in life
were strangers. I.offer you “Thelie-

Constitution special from Buford,
12th instant: This afternoon, near
this town, the engineer of the down
freight train discovered a little child,
about two years old, on the railroad
track. Tbe faces of the engineer and.
fireman blanched with terror as they
whistled “down breaks,” and saw that
it was impossible, to check the train
in time to save the merry prattler,
who. stood astride the rail, looking at
the approaching train, unconscious
of danger, and a pleasant light gleam
ing from his blue eyes. The suspense
seemed terrible, and it is said that,
the black hair of the engineer is now
streaked with grey frqin the intensity
of his dread. The firemen, however,
at the risk of his own life, ran forward
fromthe cow-catcher, grasped the
child and saved it from a terrible
death. That gallant fireman deserves
to be embalmed in song and story
for his heroic deed.
War in Aftica.—Advices from
Cape Town, South Africa, just re
ceived, state that the King of Ashan-
tee, one of the most extensive and
poYverful kingdoms of Western Afri
ca, has declared war against Great
Britain. An Ashantee army thirty-
five thousand strong has marched
from Coomassie, their capital, and
are now threatening Blinina, a forti
fied town on the Guinea coast.
Much alarm exists, and preparations
are being-made for defense.^
