Wednesday January 8, 1873
Auno Lomlnt, 1873.
During the year juat ended, throughout the Old
World aad the New, no great and bloody battle*
have been fonght and won, but the intricate politi
cal machinery of government.'which, atimolated
and driven by ambition and eels-aggrandizement
makes and wrecks Empires and Republics, has
been quietly but steadily andjsurely at work j in the
former, and especially in France and England, un
der the lead of Communists and Internationals,
drifting, in s turbulent manner towards Republic
anism, aud in the Utter, particularly in the United
State , under a Radical Administration, m aklng
rapid, but no less certain strides towards Despot,
ism. Here in the South we have .witnessed so
many flagrant violation* of constitutional laws and
vested rights, which we were taught to regard as
sacred, tnat we leave ceased.to be. surprised at any
Federal aggression.
Among the Nations of Europe few changes of
importance have occurred during the year "72.
Cermany, proud and defiant since her late victory
over the French, is pressing the collection of her
indemnity from that unfortunate people. Russia
is steadily advancing her dominion in Asia, while
England, embarrassed and weakened by the gnmr
blings and threats of the Internationals, is prepar
ing to resist her encroachments. Spain, bankrupt
and dissatisfied with the government of King
Amadeus, is still striving to subdue her rebellious
Western subjects. Ireland has as little hope of
liberty aud independence as we of the Southern
United State* ; aud her people are about as stub
b irn in their denunciations of Uritish tyranny as
they were before James Anthony Froude visited
and lectured in America.
Carl XV,, King of Sweeden is dead. Holland
anil Denmark are quiet, and tustria is preparing
for a grand International Exposition, in which sho
hopes to be more successful then in her wars.
There is nothing of special interest to record of
the Nations of the fur East.
On this side of the Atlantic, Cuba is struggling
to th- >w off tho Spanish yoke ; Mexico has anew
i lent, and is comparatively free of civil strife;
and the King Os the Sandwich Islands is dead.
Here, in our own country, while blessed with
bountiful crops and exempt from civil and foreign
wars, unr political horizon, under Radical usurpn.
tion, ha, grown darker and gloomier, until nearly all
hope of Uie Republic has expired in the hearts of
statesmen and patriots. Death, too, has been busy
during tho year '72, at homo and abroad, among
great and distinguished men. The editorial frater
nity bos lost Rennctt.. of the N. Y. Herald, Hpald
iug, of tho World; Greeley, of the Tribune, end
Pollard of the Richmond Examiner.
The literuty world hn* lost T. Buchanan Reid <
Prof. Hadley, of Yale; Fannie Foru; Charles
Lever ; Bowring, Gautier and D'Aubigno.
Among distinguished soldiers, are Ewell
ami Patten Anderson, of the Confederate, and
Il'dleck and )Icadc of the Federal Army. Field
Marshal, Sir George Pollock, of tho Uritish, and
Marshal Forey of the French Army.
Among American Statesmen are Garrott Davis.
Randall; Humphrey Marshal; Walker, Bragg
Wall, Grimes and Van Winkle.
Among foreign statesmen aie tho Duke o
Persigny; Sir Henry Bnlwer; Earl Mayo, Guverm/
General of India; Lor 1 Lonsdale and Juarez, Pro.
Bident of Mexico,
a uong the philosophers ara Prof. Morse, inven"
tor of the Telegraph, and Dr. Loiber. The clergy
lost Archbishop Spaulding; Cardinal Amat;
Bidmp MoGdl aud Peter Cartwright.
Among tlo* actors are Forrest, llackett, Mins
ON' il and Eliza l.ugoa. The millionaires lost
John A. Griswold; James Fisk, Jr., J. H. Scran
ton ; S. N. Pike aud Eraatns Coming.
In addition to these, many others of more or loss
distinction, go to make up the long death list of '7-.
And thus the Old Year, with its varied records
of smiles aud tears; joys and sorrows, births aud
marriages, divorces and deaths; conflicts and
triumphs; hopes and disappointments; floods,
famines and harvests; great political conventions,
and victories, has become a pago iu tho
history of the Poet.
Another Svvliullo,
Thomson lias been again victimized by a parcel
of plausible humbugs, who, being hard up for
cash, improvised a Minstrel Troop in Augusta, un
der the management of one Frank Juul, and se
lected our town and Christmas night for their first
experiment. I hey advertised, among their per.
formers, Prof. Hett and several other well known
■ vntU meu of Augusta, which gave the concern an
appearance of respectability. When they appeared
on the stage, instead of nine, as advertised, they
numbered live, including Prof. Hett and two of
his orchestra. They apologized for their slim a|>_
peoranoe by stating that their principle performer
Flemming, was drunk in Auhusta, and could nn[
oomo. Tlio audience (exclusively males) received
this excuse with charitable forbearance, because
most of them oo 1 ba.su to) Augusts and “knew how
it was themselves.” They advertised to give an
other exhibition on Thursday night, but Prof. U.
aud his assistants having returned to Augusta,
Juul aud DeLartanaga concluded not to attempt
the business alone, but sneaked off from the Hotel
when the night train passed, and decamped for
l>arts unknown, leaving a bill at this oflice and the
Hotel bill for their whole company unpaid. Prof,
llett, who has many friends in this section and his
assLstantsoweit to themselves to disavow all connec
tion with these arrant swiublem and publicly de
nounce them. This humbug was announced as
DeLarranaga aud Flemming's .Minstrel!j. We
hope the Press will pass them around.
TYhnt tli« l*r«>sd«l“ut Ins Paid.
The present Radical Congress, no
doubt a! the instigation of Grant, seen:
resolved to increase Irs salary. He is
already paid as foliows:
t'ala rv $1*5,000
H*nt‘ 10,000
Twenty JO,OOO
Furnace keeper at President’s house 720
Two policemen at President’s hou.se 2.640
Doorkeeper at President s house 1,200
Assistant doorkeeper st President’s house . 720
Annual repairs at President’s house 10,000
Refurnishing President’** house 10,000
Fuel for President's h use 5,000
Greenhouse and plants 3,000
Care end improvement t.*f grounds et Presi
dent's house 5,000
‘ T
If to this we add the proposed addi
tional $25,000 yearly salary, we will
have'a total of 105.280. or $433.120 for
the term ol office. iVow. if some enter
prising investigator would favor us with
a true statement of the Presidents an
nual income from presents of houses ami
lots; Bank, /failraod and other kinds of
stocks; per cent on salaries of appoin
tees; market value of “bull pups.” real
amount of direct and indirect bribery,
we could form some idea of the immense
sums that are taken from the working
masses to fill the pockets of our “second
Washington.” If Grant h.id not been
reelected we woiffd have heard nothing
of this increase of salary.
A Chance roa the Bora.—We are anxious that
every boy in Thomson and vicinity shall become a
regular subscriber to the Jovknal, because we
know that nothing encourage* and interests a boy
tnore than to have a good weekly paper sent regu
larly to his address. He will derive more benefit
and improvement from the interest he will take in
reading his paper, than from ten times the amount
of money and time expended in aohoo’. there
fore, to place the Jocks.l, within the reach of al',
we offer to receive in payment of subscription,
fire-wood, chickens, eggs, rag* or anything else at
all marketable, at twenty-five per cent almvo the
regular market price. With the .ingle item of
rags, which are generally destroyed or thrown
away, every family can, in a very abort time,
save enough to pay for a good paper. Or, with a
few hours work aorne Saturday afternoon, which
would otherwise he spent in idleness, enough wood
can be cut and hauled to secure good and substan
tial rending for every week in the year. When we
offer to take eggs and chickena in payment of sub
scriptions, we do not mean to “place temptation
in the path of youth-" We mean that these arti
cles aro not to be hooked, but “raised.” Now,
hoys, you have a good chance to secure a good
paper for yourselves; and wo re|«at that wo will
give you twenty-five por cent more for the articles
mentioned they will bring in the market.
