EXPOSITOR WAYNESBORO’, OKA.. S —: ===== — = Independent—Not Neutral! SATURDAY, JANUARY 25. 1873. Thanks. —Wo arc under obligations to Wm. Rogers, Esq., General Su perintendent of the Central Railroad, for a complimentary ticket over said road for the mouth of January. Gen. John B. Gordon has been elected United States Senator for Geor gia. Thus it is the people reward their brave and true men. Tiie great length of the Treasurers Report has crowed out much other in teresting matter, Our outside was worked cd before the report came in, otherwise wo should have asked indulgence of some of our advertisers.* The New York Herald says it has a list of about fifty journalists, connected with the American press, who have de parted this life within the past year. There is no profession that wears out men so rapidly And none whose ser vices are so poorly appreciated. Baii ! • The big whiskered editor of the Albany News, is an immaculate pa triot, pure as the untrodden snow, and as cutting in his logic as the biting breath of the north wind. In a paroxism of outraged patriotism he lets fly the arrows of his wrath at Mr. Stephens iu the following style : “A man may sink too low to be kicked, but, he never rises too high for the aim of injured patrio tism and outraged liberty.” Now this high aiming patriot might have added that the moon does not ride too high to be barked at by the mean est cur in all Christendom, and so the big whiskered immaculate may throw himself back in his hind legs and bark at Mr. Stephens until his lusty lungs are as dry as his chacklc-head is empty. —Rogie Courier. m The Cincinnati Enquirer mourns for the Christian statesmen. It says : The bland and smiling Colfax confesses that in the guilelessness of youth and inexperience he squandered SSOO of hard-earned cash in the Credit Mnbil ier; the plodding, patient and pious! Henry Wilson acknowledges that his wife had a thousands in the same vain and deceitful stock ; and now it trans pires that the saintly Howard has been gressting his sanctified fingers in the funds of the Freedmen’s Bureau. Veri ly, one may almost be led to believe that it would be a stroke of economical policy to select an occasional sinner for offices in which filthy lucre is likely to be passed around among the brethren. State Pkinter.—A corresponden of the Telegraph and Messenger says The election of Mr. Estill to the office of Public Printer is the occasion of much rejoicing among the members from South Georgia, and especially of those Senators and Representatives from the “Wire-Grass” region. No one, in the hearing of your correspon dent, has preferred any charges or ir regularity against Mr. Hemphill. The public popularity of Mr.Estill and his associates, R. A. Alston, of the Atlanta Herald and James P. Harrison, of the Monroe Advertiser, together with the sentiment in favor of the““divison of the spoils” of this lucrative office, se cured Mr. Estill’s election. It must be gratifying to Mr. Estill I to know that his support comes from every section of the State. He was Dominated by Senator Erwin, of Hab ersham county, and was supported by numerous representatives from North east Georgia. Even the delegation from ClaHt county, together with the press from Athens, Mr. Hemphill’s former home, supported Mr. Estill. Joy to the World ! .Voman is Freb !!

Almost Just. —The House of Rep resentatives have barely missed auother opportunity to do justice, but to exe cute a master stroke of good policy. On a motions to suspend the rules and pass the bill repealing the -iron-clad oath—two-thirds in the affirmative be ing required—the votes stood yeas 126,- nays 66. Three more affirmatives would have settled the question for that branch of Congress. This shows a large gain on the last test vote, and encourages the hope that another trial presently will be successful. It would puzzle the most censorious to find any where in the South at this day a sound reason for niainhiining the iron-clad oath and the generally repressive sys tem which followed the war.— Jour, of Com. “Going Down to the Sea in Ships —Dr. Johnson, according to Boswell thought more of dry land than the “mighty ocean.” “I don’t see,” said the tidy doctor, “how any man who has contrivance enough to get into jail ever wants to be a sailor.” The late Edwin Foriest. held like views on the subject On a trip to California he was deathly sea sick, and vet this did not prevent him from swearing. A preacher who was on board, undertook to admonish him for his profanity, but Forrest only answered to tell him that “his Lord and Master when on the sea was glad to get off and walk.” The captain of the vessel now approached them, and sought to sooth the old man, adding that he took to the sea by choice and wouldnnt live on shore.— That’s a lie,” exclaimed Forrest; “I koow of one mail only who took to the sea from choice; that was Noah, be cause if he had remained on land he would have been drowned.” m ♦ A Kansas maD dropped a little note to a neighbor’s wife, inviting her to meet him tinder the pale silver moon. The husband got the note first, and kept the appointment. Two doctors have been at work on the Kansas man, in whom they found a rich lead mine.
