SC.SIK THOUGHTS O.V TIIK SITUATION.
There is a state of great embarrasment
prevailing throughout the wo,hi at this time,
ftfnl no one seems to have any well defined
ideas as to w hat is the true source of our
troubles. In thinking the subject up, we
have come to the following conclusion:
First: that the whole superstructure of
society is a “whited sepulchre,” and all is
rottenness within. The ship is sailiug back
ward in a cyclone with the devil at the
wheel. All is wrong from our firesides to
our prison cells; from our centre to our cir
cumference, Compare the times now w ith
twenty years ago, and see what is wanting.
Then ouj mothers taught their daughters to
cook, and make the wearing appaiel lor
themselves and their brothers and fathers,
and to wash, iron and milk the cows and—
be ot some use to those who made their
bread, whether in the workshop or field
Now the deaughters teach their mothers
that it is cheaper to have all these things
bought and hired, because there is less la
bor to them, more time to spend in reckless
extravagance and fashionable folly! All
they seem to study iu how to destroy their
true usefulness by incasing themselves in all
manner of effemiualieg costumes, calculated
to destroy health and happiness, thus be’
coming wax dolls in comparison with our
mothers and grand mothers. The young
men are trying, in a confused, bungling and
kff/.y way to get money enough to buy them
one of these “dolls,” but can never reach
the Coveted goal because it takes all he can
get up to make himself presentable in “de
cent” society. He buys all he uses on a
credit and uses enough in three month's to
have served his father twelve, and hence is
not able to pay his merchant who becomes
disatisfied and loses confidence in him be
cause he fiails to meet his note, especially
in view of the fact that he did not charge
ove, one hundred per cent, above the actual
value of the goods sold, besides offering
every inducement to the purchaser to buy.
The merchant fails to meet his bank ac
count because of t'ne aforesaid and his pri
vate whiskey and sugar bill, which of itself
would take all the profit out of any legiti
mate business. The banker foreloses his
mortgages and the merchant bankrupts and
sues lus patrons and they in turn homestead
and the lawyer, like a good wise umpire as
be always is, takes charge of all the visible
remainder ‘till confidence is again restored
Thus the year ends and we begin anew
false system of forced confidence.—
Again failure follows and the law making
power is invoked to legislate to protect the
outraged; the government quitly puts the
matter to rest by leving a tax to pay oft
some huge debt incurred by the last incum
bents, whom they abuse most heartily for
their rascality and extravagance. The
newspapers swear most patriotically over ilie
corruption of tiie rest of mankind while they,
pure souls (?) are greedily snatching at the
pitiful bribes offered by every humbug that
comes along, and recommending them to
the people as “a good thing,” and then
lecturing them on the necessity of economy!
If the terrible results were not so vividly
appereat the whole scene wyuld be a redic
ulons tarce. Who is responsible for this
state of society ?
As this is an age bf true refinement and
progress we, of come, cannot palui off on
any individual or class, we will have to gad
die it on the Devil; a.id in order to settle
the matter we wlli call a convention and
eumarily dispose of him at once, or crown
him king by unanimous and open consent.
Seriously, if the people do not pause and
reform, total ruin, social, political and finan
cial will soon close the scene. Let us hope
Let no man vote a “No Convention’'
ticket on the 12th, hoping to defeat the Con
vention, for he will only be sending his can
didate there with lull power to fasten down
on him tighter than ever, the old fraud of
'§B,
It Be7. ms that the Polar Bear has got liic?
blood fully up at last, from the way he is !
;naking it lively tc.r them ’ere Turks. They
Lave recently taken by storm, two or tlnee
ot those places over there on the Danube,
that got their names from Gulliver’s travels.
The Turks are a brave and industrious s3t,
and will be likely to interest their sturdy
loe for some time yet, it having every ad.-
vantage in position is any criterion.
If the Russians drive them from their
works on the Danube they have only to fall
hack to the Balkan mountains. But foi fear
that Russia will defeat tnem they are killing
the Christians at home w hile fighting the
Russians, so as to make the efforts of Russia
an abortion at least. But it has been sonfe
time since that part of Europe and has
had a chance to purge itselt of the scum and
dross that political and religious fauatical
lerruentatiou Las brought to its surface, and
we presume it is well for the rules and laws
of higene to be brought to bear on all na
tions occasionally, even if the purefying
crucible has to he fire and sword. But it
docs seem rediculous tluit these great nations
will essay to spill so much blood about the
ctiirstian religion, when they both have
about as much as that herd of swine had as
they run down into the sea.
WfiENEVE-it you read of a “reign ofter
ru - ’’ in any Southern State you can calcu
late that some carpet-bagger has lost his
grip on a fat oTic-' 1 , —Detroit Free Press.
Let those who are opposed to the Con
venrton because they are afraid their home*
stead Will be taken from them, take heed
that anew Constitution cannot touch a
lioniestcad taken under tlie 'old oue; and 1* t
those who tiiink that the homestead law will
be abolished, lake herd that when the new
C< nstitutinn is made, it will haVe to pc sub
milled to the people to ratify, and it there is
a single clause in it the people don’t like
they can reject It at the ballot-box: then
don’t be “skeerd” about any thing, but go
boldly forward on the 12lh and vote a Con
vention ticket, thereby defeating fiaud and
corruption.
Fkrnandia, Fla., April 22, 1877.
We were stopping at the Mansion House,
which is a large old house very badly furn
ished, setting a ixxtr table and charging it3
customers exorbitant prices, and we would
advise all who stop in Feruandia te avoid
the M ansion House
This is one of the old towns of the Amer
ican continent built by the Spaniards, on
Amelia Island, at the mouth of / media Riv
er, and is now in a thriving condition and
lias about 2500 inhabitants, lias a fine harbor
and is quite a shipping point tor lumber to
the Northern States, South America and to
Europe.
In the forenoon we took a strole to the
East coast two miles from the city. Visited
the Light-house ascended the tower and
had a fine view of the surrounding country.
We returned to the city as the bells were
ringing fc r church—went to the Presbyteri
an church and heard a good sermon by Di.
Morris.
Dined at 2 o’clock and went on board the
the steamer Florence bound for Brunswick.
The Florence is a nice little boat running in
connection with the Florida and the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad’s, a distance of
about 45 miles. The trip is inland and is a
pleasant one.
W e reached Brunswick about dark and
could see but little of the place. Came over
the Railroad to Macon during the night.
April 23d. We weie so anxious to get
home that we paid but little attention to
anything in Macon more than to get our
baggage on the Macon and Western Rail
road for Baruesville. I’ke first red dirt that
we saw gave us somewhat the feeling pro
duced by meeting au uhl friend. For six
weeks we had seen nothing but pine trees
and sand, and to be again on red lands and
see its native growth, was to us truly pleas
annt.
AVe could but admire the tlii ilt hlitnitested
along the line of the Railroad before reach
ing Barnesvilfe. This section has improved
much within the last tew years. And in
my opinion if the farmers would only let
commercial fertilizers alone, develop the do
mestic resources of fertilizing their farms,
devote more attention to grain and stock,
Middle Georgia would soon be the garden
spot of all the Southern Country. But as
long as we buy guano, corn, flour, bacon,
horses and mules we are bound to be one of
ot the pooi< st people on the globe.
At Baruesville we met some friends and
spent the day more pleasatly than we ex
pected to waiting for the Thomaston train.
On reaching home we found our wives and
dear ones reasonably well, and ot course
have a pleasant time chatting with them
and our friends generally
And now, Air. Editor, we have finished.
Our communications have been more length
thy than we first intended, but if any oue
who has been desirous of knowing more ot
Florida has been entertained by them we
are fully repaid for our trouble of penning
them.
In conclusion we have to say that Flori
da is a poor landed country, much poorer
than Georgia. For while there arc some
veiy rich lands there aie quantities of very
poor. The rich spots are small the poor
spots very large. The climate is delightful.
Musquitoes are hot so numerous as we had
expected to find them. But fleas are plen
tiful iu all the parts visited by us. Wages
for laborers are high aud hard work pays
well.
Speaking iu general terms we think Flor
ida is quite healthy. Fruit and vegetable
culture Is paying well in good localities, hut
may soon he overdone. Reporter.
There is nothing in the present Consti
tution pertaining to ti*e rights ot freemen,
that could be worsted by anew one.
Terrell, Texas, May 23, 1877.
Some time has passed since 1 troubled you
with a commuuiuativ/n, probably to the sat
isfaction of your leaders. But what uftliels
one liian blesses another and so goes the
world.
Like a tale that is told, like the wind that
bloweth, like the days of our youth the
grasshopper has gone, no one knows where
or when. For several weeks it seemed that
nothing but a miricle could save this coun
try from theii ravages; but little damage
lias been done. Iu some sections a field of
wheat or coin lias been destryed. Nothing
like a general destruction has prevailed, the
way they disappear is strange. You miss
them and that is all. I suppose they fly
away unobserved. It affords great relief to
to the lieople oi this country.
The weather is extremely warm ior May,
the thermometer having been in the nineties
in the shade and yet you would hardly no
tice it as we have a good stift breeze almost
all the ti.ffie; the nights are very pleasant
and the people say that it gets but little
warmer in July au'l August,
There is every 7 appedHince of a draught on
hand now. The crops are doing tolerably 7
wel*. Wheat will not yield a foil crop on
account of the wet spring A gentleffuui oi
extensive observation told me he thought
the country would average twelve and a
half bushels per acre this season. Cotton
and corn are both small as the people of this
section are late in planting both of these
crops, in my opinion.
It is a relief ior a man to be here so far as
politics are concerned. I have no idea that
I hear as much talk about politics here in
one month as I would hear in Thomaston in
oue day'. The people seen! t 6 have some
thing else on their minds. Another reason
is in the fact that a great many of the men
here are northern men, and here let me say
that they have “clasped hands across the
bloody chasm” and perfect good feeling
prevails. A man who was in the United
States aj'tny during the war is agent for
Gen. J. E. Johnston’s insurance companies
and the blue and gray are mixed in various
ways.
Our Georgia boys arc particular in their
attentions to the ybjung ladies from Ohio and
Illinois. In tact the whole thing seems one
common brotherhood where the blood v prtt
is forgotten. 1 nevei had people to treat
me belter than those who were in the Fed
eral army and are northern men by birth,
education ami everything except present
location. Now aud then, of course, you find :
a cold-hearted, long-fingered scoundrel who
thinks New England everything, but the
mass of those I meet do not tolerate such.
r I he original Texan of which so much has
been said and written is gradually giving
way to the rush of civilization, but row and
then one appears upon the stage, acts his
part and disappears; for instance, not a great
wnile since an acquaintance of mine mas in
a drug store in a neighboring town when a
long-haired, seedy looking individual came
i in and wanted to know of the proprietor if
he would loan him a syringe. The propri
tor very politely told him that he was not
in the habit of loaning syringes, but would
se’d him one very cheap. The fellow didn’t
want to Duy; lie had s >me hogs in the
swamp that had got “lousy” and somebody
, had told him that kerosene oil was good to
; kill lice ane he couldn’t getclose to his hogs
I and wanted the syringe to squirt the oil on
them as they run through the swamp.
There is considerable originality in Tex
as if anything. They don’t do a great many
things like o her folks. They have a pecu
liar way to lead horses, unlike that practic
ed in Georgia, which is to tie the led horse
jto the tail of one that is ridden. They lead
I hogs and slieap ihc* same way. The first
j tliina: they do with a young calf is to rope it
I and tie it to a stake and then it is
I not much trouble to the milker. Must of
! the saddles have two girths, one about
■ twelve inches iu rear of the regular girth,
i which serves to hold the hind part of the
| saddle down steady it the horse should be a
“pitcher” as most of the prairie horses aie
addicted to tins vice. They throw a lasso
over the horse’s head and compel him to
stop ny slicking him down; they then fasten
; saddle and bridle on and allow the horse to
start, the first thing the horse wants to do,
i of eouise, is to get rid of the saddle and lie
commences pitching (bucking in Go. ) and
they give him a sudden stop by jirking the
| lasso They continue this until the horse is
| sufficiently worried and then a “cow boy”
mounts and lie is scarcely ever tnrown off.
j Wheat will soon be on hand and then I
! will try to interest veur readers about its
: mauagment Ac., in Texas.
I like the Railroad managment of this
section better tnau any I have ever seen and
: at some time I may write about it, but for
j the present no more.
Wanderer.
; P. S, —I got into a scrape by writing
i about the prettiest lady I had seen being
i from Mississippi, as two young men each
; had sweethearts and procured a copy of the
| paper, and each told his girl she was the
j one. Imagine my situation when called
l upon to decide the matter. W.
