THETHOMASTON HERALD. <ll AS. G? BEAIiCE, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR ' . ~Z7 '-I ~ ~ TnOMASTON, GA., JAN. 7, 1871. The THOM ASTON HERALD lnm n Lerfl[e C'lrrvlation In Vp«on, Pikf, Meriwether, Talbot, Sfxihling, Monroe, Ribli. anil Unit*. Father Ryan has become editor of the New Orleans Morning Star. The Rod : cils in Congress ore using every possible effort to prevent the repeal of the Income tax this session. This year’s cotton crop is put at 3,800,- 300 bales, by the December report of the Department of Agriculture. It is proposed to erect a million-dollar edifice in the Central Park, New York Citv, in which to hold a “World’s Fair” in 1870. Charles Francis Adams of Massachu setts, has been mentioned by several influ ential Republican politicians in tbe North, as a candidate for the next Presidency. Bioijy and Bcthune, Radicals, are elected to Congress in the Third District, over Wright, Democrat, by from 1,200 to 1,400 majority. In 18G8 Burke county gave a Radical majority of 1,700 ; this year it rolls up a Democratic majority of 500! Something has ‘drapped’ there, certainly. A reward of $5,000 is offered by Gov. Bullock, for the apprehension of the person or persons who stole and carried away the Calhoun county ballot box, on the 22nd ultimo. Judge O. A. Lochrane, formerly of Ma con, now of Atlanta, has been appointed Chief Justice of the Supreme Court. lie entered upon the discharge of the duties of that re-por.siblo position on Wednesday. There is a slight touch of irony in the re mark made by the Brownville (Tcnn.) Bee, that “all that the Southern people can see, or are likely to see while this generation lives, is to raise cotton at thirty cents a pound and sell it at twelve and a half cents.” Bills to admit into the Unloh two new States, Colorado and New Mexico—the latter to be named Lincoln—have been introduced in Congress this session. A third, the Indian Territory, will soon be knocking at the door. Sho has already petitioned to have the name of “Ocmulgee” inflicted upon her. “R. B. Bullock, Gov. of Georgia, to Wash ington Chronicle, Dr, To 4 lines, (Editorial) $1,G0.” This was the last charge made by Forney against Bullock, and was for this short squib, for all of which kind the first named receives 40’cents per line : “Georgia, it is claimed, has electod five Democratic Congressmen out of the seven, and a Democratic Legislature. Intimidation and violence have done their work.” The following is the vote of Elbert county —tbe home of Attorney-Gen. Akerman—- at the recent election. When the result was first made known to Amos, it must have acted as a powerful eye-opener : For 41st Congress —Conker, (Dem.).. . .002 For 41st Congress—Beard, (eol. Rad.) .130 For 42d Congress—Duß-ois, (Dem.)... .800 For 42d Congress—Fannin, (Rad.).. . .142 The vote for Representative was 004 for Edwards (Dem.) to 231 for Heard. Some prying person has unearthed a letter written by Butler, in August 1807, to a gentlemen in Wisconsin, in which the hero of Big Bethel, Du‘ch Gap, Bermuda Hun dred and Fort Fisher, opposes the nomina tion of Gen. Grant as the Republican candidate for the Presidency, and calls him a “man without head or heart, indifferent to human suffering, and impotent togovern,” whose election to the Presidency he solemn ly declares would be a “misfortune” to the country. Ben icill be caught in the truth occasion ally. Tlic A’fvt Legislature. The returns show the most overwhelming triumph for the Democracy of Georgia, ever achieved by the party in any State. We have elected 18 Senators from the twenty two odd counties, and, we think 140 Repre'* sentatives out of 178. If we are correct in our count, the next Legislature will stand as follows : SENATE.

Radical amnesty is a remarkable thing, ar.d ought to excite the gratitude of all southern people. Butler, the Beast, has shown more than his usual skill and in genuity in framing the amnesty bill (so called) that he has proposed to Congress. In the first place, he grants amnesty to everybody, and then he makes such a large list of exceptions as to leave nearly all who are now suffering under disabilities, still under them. It wo»ld seem strange that a sensible man should propose a thing which really defeats itself; but, as is said to be the case with some letters, so it is with Butler’s bill, the postscript is the most im portant part. Ho lugged in a clause pro viding that nothing shall be recovered from either Northern or Southern men for acts done during the war, thus saving himself by legislative enactment from the suits for damages that he has had to stand for his various thefts during the war. This is a trick well worthy of the author and the party of which he is now the most promi nent leader.— Staunton Spectator. Trip to Richmond, Georgia. Communicated.] Mr. Editor: Through the courtesy of yourself and yoor predecessors, I have had the pleasure of reading the llrrald from its inception to the present time. Those, who preceded you. d“serve great praise for the z al, energy and activity they mani fested in their efforts to establish, on a firm basis a periodical worthy of the confidence and j itronage of the people. It was a step in the right direction. They showed an intense arxiety to promote the highest in terests of a community, disheartened and discouraged by sad leverses and heavy losses. Perhaps in prophetic vision they saw near at hand, the time when your town, long smoldering beneath the cinders and ashes caused by tbe incendiary’s torch, should arise to commercial life and activity, and once more at the head of steam navi gation, take her place among the thriving and prosperous towns of the empire State of the South. The Herald has, by do means, deteriorated since you ascended tbe tripod. Every issue of the paper gives ad ditional evidence that you are in the right place, and that your paper is destined to occupy a high position among the periodi cals of the day. You have increased, largely, thjj amount of reading matter, your editorials are short*, bold, pointed and judicious, in fac\ the Herald deserves a place in every family. After a residence of three years at Thomaston, I can but feel a deep interest in the prosperity of the place and the happiness of the people. I shall ever remember, with great pleasure, the p’easant seasons I have spent in asso ciating with the good people of Upson. As everything on earth is transitory, so, I find myself, just now in a transition state. Being loyal to the church of my choice, it became necessary for me to change my field of labor. After preaching and arranging and planing, the hour of departure came. The hour that must sep arafe from endeared friends and associa tions and cast my lot among strangers. The heart throbs, the silent tear steals from the eye, as we say good-bye to the good people of Thomaston. llow could it be otherwise, as wo remember "their attention and kindness in the hour of our affliction and bereavement, and the prayers and songs in which our hearts and voices had so often mingled ? God bless them, and prosper them. As Thomaston and its busy throng wore left behirnj, how natural that feelings of sadness should steal over our spirits. But these feelings seemed not to be confined to us alone ; even old Dan, himself, seemed to show signs of melan choly, n3 he left for the last time, the streets so long accustomed to his soft and gentle tread. Perhaps he remembered bow in days of yore, he had been a bridal present to the amiable Mrs. T. and the pleasure he had afforded the happy pair, as he had at tended them on various excursions. Per haps he had visions of hills and creeks and mud to be overcome as he journeyed, east ward, in search of light. As he moves slowly and thoughtfully along perhaps three miles from town, we are overtaken by three gents of African persuasion, appar ently in a great hurry, puffing and blowing ; we accost them, “Men ! have you voted ?” “Yes, walked twelve miles before sun up, have voted, and will get home before din ner, walking twenty-four miles and voting before noon, that beats any horse.” Dan seemed to resent the idea of being beaten by Rads, he raises his ears, away he goes, and leaves the boasting Rads far in the retr. Tbe first night found t*s at my old friend Walker’s, five miles east of Forsyth, where we spent a pleasant night, and talk ed of the reminiscences of the past. The next morning we made good speed till within three miles of the river; we learned that the flat, like many of the people, had gone down and that reconstruction was not complete. We were directed to file to the left, and go up stream ten miles and we would find a ferry. At this Dan shook his head and his driver looked blank. No time to tarry, so onward we go. Fortun ately we soon overtook a man going the same rout, who proposed to pilot us through. We fell into line, and over hills, through woods and swamps and creeks, we made cur way till we reached the ferry. This past we encountered an abundance of mud ar.d hills, till night found us at the hospita ble mansion of my old friend, Maj. Barron, in Jones county. That night there was a fearful contest between King Mad and General Frost. General Frost, however, claimed the victory, and King Mud was forced to make an unconditional surrender. Since then mud has interposed but few ob stacles in our way. The roads have been smooth, firm and of a most excellent char acter, with the exception of an occasional sand-bed. By the way, Maj. Barron and others in Jones county, are substituting Swedish labor for that of freedmen. They are highly delighted with the change. lie has five in his employ. They are educated to some extent, members of the Lutheran Church, industrious, neat, faithful and willing to do whatever is required of them. There are about fifty employed in Jones county, and many more will be imported the coming year. From this place our route lay through Milledgeville. This section shows, to a fearful extent, the effects of the war. Plantations once thriving and pros- now in a dilapidated condition, fences gone, buildings rapidly decaying, and only an occasional patch under culti vation. I was surprised at the activity and business-like appearance of Milledgeville. Yet while her streets present the appear ance of life and activity, her public build ings, ones the great center of attraction, are marked only by silence, loneliness and de cay. The Capitol ground, once beautiful and lovely, is now a common, and a single gate way is all that now remains of the beautiful enclusure that once surrounded the capitol of the Empire State of the South. Even the Penitentiary itself, through the clemency of Bullock, presents a lonely appearance. No wonder that Bul lock, the old Arch Radical and Prince of Scalawags was anxious for the seat of gov ernment to be at Atlanta. In Milledgeville his residence would have been in too close proximity to those walls, within which he ought to find an abiding borne, to allow him to enjoy an easy and quiet conscience. We passed through Sparta and WarrentoD, thriving and flourishing towns, inhabited by an intelligent and enterprising people, fully alive to the interests and wants of the country. Though the weather has been cold, our trip has not only been pleasant but delightful. We have had the privilege of greeting many an old friend. And dow ‘ the trip is made we are safely housed in the pleasant and delightful mansion of W. A. Ciarke, Representative, (elect) an ac quaintance and friend of other days. Here we make our headquarters till the arrival of our better-half, then we shall move into a pleasant and comfortable Parsonage where we hope to spend a happy and prosperous year. Perhaps more anon. Yours &c, D. Kelset. Brothers ville, Dec. 30th 1870. Soulhcm Statesmanship. A bright, trenchant writer, who does the editing sot a Baltimore Episcopal sheet, talks with his head level about the impolicy and detriment of excluding Southern states manship from the National councils. His photograph of southern Radical representa tion is apt, vivid and truthful. Read him ; If the. world, as we have said, does not exhibit as rapid a rise in progress as Amer ica presented under Southern counsels, neither can it surpass the sudden and pro found descent whigh has been made since Southern men were driven off dv the ag gressive meins of Radicalism, and kept out by its continued triumph. There is not a material or political interest of this coun try which has not deteriorated in Radical bands. The change in our condition is as great as from the genial temperature of summer to the freezing atmosphere of mid-winter In nothing have we progressed under Radi cal rule save in the wholesale increase of debt, National and State, and in taxation unequalled in any part of the world, and in an amount of official corruption which has never been surpassed from the earliest history of mankind. Y r et, in the face of these facts, Radicalism persists in ostracis ing and excluding from the national coun cils the statesmen of that section, which has heretofore furnished us our wisest and safest guides and leaders in prosperity and adver sity. The race which claims consanguinily with Washington. Jefferson. Madison, Cal houn, Clay, and other bright and number less stars in our political firmament, are consigned to outward darkness, whilst the farthing tallow dips of carpet-baggers are put in their place. The very sight is portentous of woe— those lean and ill formed kine, who have eaten up the fat-flesheu and well favored; those empty and blasted ears of corn which devoured the good and full ears. And in a Senate which was once Roman in its digni ty and power, and on the very spot where the Southern giants once stood, we now see, as representatives of the South, narrow brOwed, stunted, evil-eyed adventures and scalawags, who look like a combination of the Wandering Jew and the impenitent Thief. And this at a juncture when the country needs, more than ever, especially in the state of our foreign relations, its best statemanship. Tbe South does not ask to control this country ; but as its future fate is bound up with the rest, to have some voice in its own control and in the general guidance. Is not this a reasonable request? Do not the interests of the oouutry demand that it should be granted. Grant and San Domingo. There is something remarkable, if not corrupt, ’ in the President’s persistent and persevering efforts for the confirmation of the treaty for the purchase of San Domingo. At the last session of Congress, when the treaty was being considered by the Senate, the President went to his room in the Capi tol for the purpose of making a personal appeal in bckalf’of the measure. Hie eff :rts and influence wore brought to bear upon tbe Senators who had not given a decided expression .to their views and pi rhaps never before had the occupant of that high position used such arts as the President has to accomplish bis ends. His interest in the measure, as is shown by the facts recit ed, in connection with the lenghty argu ment in his recent message to the same end, naturally raises the inquiry in the minis of the people as to the motives or considera tions that prompt him. We take the fol lowing extract from the Boston Post, which may explain the interest of the President in the San Domingo scheme : “Gen. Grant is but the agent of a New York company in the effort to annex St> Domingo to the United Sates. The carital of this congregation of brokers and jobbers is said to consist of twenty shares, at $15,- 000 each. To this company all the mineral lands, mill privileges, and prospective town sites in St. Dumingo have been granted. They also have the monopoly of banking, of building railroads, and of running steam boats. They are authorized, in the event of annexation, to survey the whole publie domain of the Republic, and to have one fifth of the same by way of compensation. This orse—fifth they are to locate for them selves, in any portion of the island selected With such a fine bargain in prospective, it ! is no wonder the scheme is pushed upon ; the attention of the Senate with such per -1 tinaeity. •The dividends will be large, and j hence the interest felt in the movement at the White House.” —Nashville Union. The D l Lnder no Disabilities.— During the discussion of the amnesty reso lution in the North Carolina Legislature a few days ago, a favoring Radical remarked that he was willing to “endorse the indi vidual application of Zeb Vance, Joe Turner, or the devil,” to which Mr. Jones, a Demo-’ craf, replied that the “devil had certainly been under no disabilities in North Carolina fur the last two years. He was in nearly every office, and his cloven foot could be seen in almost every act done by the party so lately in power.” Several bills have been introduced re cently to create new judicial districts in Western States. The authors of these measures are in most cases gentlemen who are an ler the necessity of retiring from Congress on the fourth of March, and who look upon a United States Judgeship for life as a good thing to fall back on.

Philadelphia, January I.—Since the organization parade of the Fire Department, incendiarism has greatly increased. Every alarm is a signal for a riot. The mayor has issued a proclamation offering ?i,OoO reward fi r the arrest of the incendiaries. Washington. January I. Secretary Boutwell and Grant are playing at cross purposes. The San Domingo and Pleasanton ap pointments, and a general proposition to have the present generation pay the debt, are among the points at issue, Richmond, Jan.

The statistics of the city for the year end ing to-night show an increaseed prosperity over last year. The manufactures have in creased five million dollars. FOREIGN. London, Dec. 31.—The German authori ties at Versailles accuse the French of paying seven hundred and fifteen francs to. each of the French officers escaping from captivity and breaking bis parole. A dispatch from Arras brings a report that the German soldiers, on the march to the north of France, openly declare them selves tired of the war. The weather is intensely cold and causes a fearful mortality among the German wounded. Nearly all the occupants of 50 carriages of wounded at Belfort on the 21st were frozen dead before the. train reached Chateuvois. London, Deeemb<r 31.—Paris corres pondence of the 29rh, state that shells have been thrown into the northern part of the city. Moscow correspondence says the belief in an alliance between the United Statps and Russia, in case of war, is becoming universal. Washington, Jan.

It is reported that Beaunepaire has form ed in Paris a corps of 12,000 volunteers, w’ho have sworn to.cut their wav through the Prussian lines and organize a levy. Bordeaux, Jan. 1. The Prussians con tinue to retreat in the east before the French advance. It is reported that the Prussian cavelry have become useless since the recent snows and frosts, consequently there is much diffi culty in keeping communications open. The Prusians around Paris are eating their reserved provisions. The Prussians losses, during the bom bardment of Arran, is estimated at 8.000. London, Jan. I.—The Times protests against the proceeding of against Luxembourg, and Russia against Turkey, saying the attitude of both is in defensible, but it is not the duty of England to interpose. London, Jan. 2, —The report that a com missioner whs to be sent to the United States to settle the dispute about the fisher ies, is untrue. The Klcctiow in Bilib Protested. The following is a copy of the protest entered by A. O. Bacon, Esq., in behalf of himself and Messrs. Ross and Nutting, against the legality of the election held in Bibb county : Messrs. J. Clarke Swayze, W. P. Gcodall, W. L. Ellis, and others Superintendents of election in Bibb county, held in Macon, on the 20th, 21st, and 22d De cember, 1870. Gentlemen : We the undersigned, candi dates for Representatives from this county to.the next Legislature, do hereby protest against the validity of said election, and the vote cast therein, because the same has been illegally conducted in disregard of the laws of this State, and because a large number of illegal votes, net less than 700, have been received and counted by your selves, w hich were under age, non residents of said county of Bibb, idiots, and lunatics ; and in addition the polls were closed on the last day 0 minutes before 6 o'clock, when 20 odd persons (legal voters) were strug gling to vote ; the last twenty minutes the polls were open, voters were unnecessarily delayed in casting their votes, so as to ex clude others entitled to vote, and other legal voters hr.d their ballots rejected when they stood ready to take the affidavit re quired by law. These and other things proving the ille gality, we are prepared to prove, and ask that the return be kept open until we have opportunity to do so. Respectfully, J. B. Ross, C. A. Nutting, A. O. Bacon. Maeon, Dec. 23, 1870. Protection and Free Trade. A gentleman writes from Philadelphia, asking us to tell the difference between Free Trade and Protection, with the advantage of one over the other, in such language that the people can understand the argument. Very well. John White and Thomas White are two brothers. ' Their father died ten years ago. William Black, who had one child, and was rich, married Mrs. White, the widowed mothor of John and Thomas White. John White is a farmer and raises grain. 1 homas White is a wagon maker who makes wagons wanted by John to hanl his grain to market, when he raises more than wanted for family use. John wants to sell Thomas fifty bushels of wheat for a wagoft. The father-in-law, William Black, hav ing a sort of claim on the boys, because he is the second husband of their mother, says the two boys John and Thomas may trade with each other when they pay him a dollar for the privilege—and not before. Ihe dollar they must pay, between them, before they can trade, William Black uses for his pet son who lives without work, and whose dollars are increased every time John and Thomas White trade, or buy of each other. lhrs is protection, —Kew York Democrat. Good for Colambni. Columbus is destined to be the great manufacturing place of the South. I hf>r > is no such water power elsewhere, and nowhere else such ease of tnii.sn„rtanon. Then, too, it is in the midst of a fine cotton growing region, and shipped lust year o\ei 75,000 bales of cotton. I asked the cost of manufacturing here compared with the North, but did not get a anti-factory an-wer. It was evident they did not desire to tell. Yet there is at lro»t the difference in the price of cotton, and the difference of trans portation and cheaper labor. In a pamphlet issued bv General'Chilton, he claims that it costs $22 dollars more to manufacture 500 pounds of cotton in Massachusetts than a Columbus— r.U chargee and freights in cluded. Labor is abundant, tnere being hundreds of poor whites anxious to get such work. General Chilton told me he had to turn them off daily. Them are three more cotton factories in the adjoining county of Upson, running about 7.000 spindle?' in all. In Columbus there are two large foundries and machine shops, and one agricultural implement man ufactory : also near by is Ennis' Novelty Wood Woiks, for spokes, hobs, ef<\, and pa'ent wheelbarrows.— Coi rcspondcncc of the Scientific American. Tlic Gforgia Election. Georgia, the thrice reconstructed Empire Srate of the South —Georgia, the victim of Forney’s slanders and Bullock’s gang of plunderers —Georgia, the supreme object of Grant's solicitude and Akerman’s cunning statutes and partisan constructions —Geor- gia, so long the subject of Terry’s gentle dominion—has gone Democratic by some where bttween thirty and fiftv thousand. There is no use of putting too fine a point on a victory so overwhelming. There are about 200,000 voters in that State, of whom perhaps a bare majority are white Demo crats, the remainder being about ninety thousand colored voters and seven or eight thousand Radical office-seekers. It is therefore plain that the colored troops have ?>ught nobly under the Democratic banner. If this doesnot put an end to Radical deliv ery in the South, nothing short of a Red Sea catastrophe can reach their case. Ten npssee, Alabama, Eist and West Virginia, Missouri, North Carolina, and at last Geor gia redeemed, ought to teach even a more obstinate and thickheaded man than Grant, that no chains can long shackle the people of this country. Two tills are now before Congress estab lishing a postal telegraph system. One is Mr. Washburn's of Wisconsin, which pro vides for the purchase of all existing lines by the Government, and the other is Mr. Hubbard's of of Boston, which provides for the transmission of telegraph letters by a company making connections with all the best offices, and doing the work under a bond to the Government. Tub election for United Stages Senator in Missouri, to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Drake, takes place n a few 7 days. Frank Biair, him of Tammany fame, is generally uuderstood to be the Democratic candidate. Urn BDufftisnircKt. GRIFFIN CLOTHING STOKE BY J. H.
