THE EXPOSITOR
Waynkhboro’, ca a.
indep< nd<;nl—Nut Neutral!
SATURDAY, MARCH 16. 1873.
Tuk Cincinnati Gazette thinks the
House Credit Mobilier Committee
“strained at a gnat and swallowed a
camel” when it proposed to punish
members for dabbling in the stock of
that couyaauy (a compnny that had
never been before Congress) and suf
fered those who had confessedly been
concerned in the way of money taking
in the Fucitic Railroad Company, (a
company that bad frequently been
before Congress), to go comparatively
scot-free.
Massachusetts Fueling Towards
the South. —Before tho committee of
the Massachusetts Legislature, which
is considering the proposal to expunge
the resolution of censure on record
against Senator Sumner, on his resolu
tions to erase from the battle flags all
emblems of the late war, a number of
bitter speeches were made. Among
them was Mr. Hoyt, the originator of|
the resolution of censure, who declared i
bis intention never to forgive the I
and to teach bis boy the same lesson of j
perpetual hatred. William Lloyd Gar
rison followed in a long arraignment of j
Mr. Sumner for his leniency toward tho 1
rebels, and seemed especially disturbed
because the Senator had called them
'‘fellow citizens,” when he should have
said “rebels or traitors.” He regretted
to hear so few references to “rebellion”
and “treason,” and lamented the ten
dency to forget and forgive the past,
things which never ought to be done.—
Perpetual hatred for the South was Mr.
Garrison’s standard of loyalty and pa
triotism, and upon this he rang the
changes with fanatical zeal.
• Journalistic Change. —Hon. lcx
ander H. Stephens, on yesterday, sold
out the Sun newspaper to a company
composed of Messrs. C. H. C. VV illing
ham, W. A. Moore, Pascal J. Moran
and Samuel Echols. These gentlemen
have been conducting the Sun as editors
and managers under Mr. Stephen’s
ownership, and we may anticipate that
there will be no decided change in its
policy. We are not advised whether
or not Mr. Stephens will retain his con
nection with the establishment. At
any rate we wish the new firm a hearty
and abiding success.— Herald.
Anotiieu Lamentable Fike in Bos
ton.—Boston Las again been scourged
by fire. This time she has suffered
most severely in loss of life. While
her brave firemen were gallantly en
deavoring to check the flames, which
threatened an extensive conflagration, a
thin, weak wall, against which their
ladders were placed, tottered and fell
precipitating several mtm' ers of the
depaatment into t e blazing ruins,
where they were crushed and burned.
Three are named as already dead. As
many are missing. Several are report
ed probably fatally injured, aud the
balance, making about twenty, fortun-
ately but slightly harmed.
How it was Done. —The New York
Tribune says: “An analysis of the vote
in the House on the salary question
shows that 62 of the 103 who favored
the increase were not re-elccte 1 to Con
gress. That is to say, they had done
their work at the rate of compensation
originally agreed upon, and they had ho
immediate prospect of coming back.
They therefore grabbled five thousand
more apieoe. These men, wise in their
day aud generation, undoubtedly think
that ‘the happiest time is now.’ ”

“Naked, and Ye Clothed Me.”—
We have met with a beautiful story,
how a Kussian soldier one very cold
night, kept duty between one sentry
box andauothcr. A poor workingman,
moved with pity, took off his coat and
lent it to the poor soldier to keep him
warm; adding that he should soon roach
home, while the soldier would be ex
posed out of doors for the night. The
cold was so intense that the soldier was
found dead in the morning. Sometime
afterward the poor man was laid on his
death bed, and in a dream saw Jesus
appear to him. “You have got iny
coat on,” said the man. “Yes, it is the
coat you lent me that cold night when
I was naked and ye clothed me.”—

THE LIEN LAW.
Wo publi h this week for the benefit
of our readers, many of whom are ma
terially intefested, the following amend
merit, of the 1/ou Law passed by the
last Legislature:
An Act to regulate the Law of Lien* in
the State of Georgia:
Section 6. 7 le it further enacted ,
That factors, morohants, landslords,deal
ers in fertilizers,,and all other persons

selves from tho crop of tho year in which
said things are done or furnished, ns is
now given by law, under tho act of
! 1865-ti, to factors, with tho following
; conditions : All of the liens provided

cording to date, and shall only exist as

Aproved, February 24th, 1873.
Prepayment of Postage.
It is held by the Post Office Depart
ment that the recent decision of the At
torney General, that double postage
should not be collected at the office of
delivery on ihe unpaid portion of let
ters partly prepaid by at least one full
rate, docs uot apply to mailable matter
of the third class, viz : Pamphlets occa
sional public.tions, magazines, unsealed
circulars, books, book manuscripts, etc.
By the act of January 9, 1873, all
mailable matter of the third cLss must
be fully prepaid by stamps at the office
of mailing, and if uot thus fully prepaid
should be held for postage, and not for
warded to its destination. If, however,
through the inadvertence of the post
master at the mailing office, such mat
ter should bo mailed without such full
prepayment, by section 152 of the
postal code, the postmaster at the office
of delivery must charge and collect
double the prepaid rates.
Asking a Man for His Wife.
On the 20 h of last March a man
named Bennett Jones, living in Jack
son, Miss., wrote to Dr. Dameron, of
Memphis, Tenn., requesting the doctor
to give him (Jones) his (the doctor's)
wife. The reason assigoed for the
making of this request was. that the wife
in question loved Jones better than she :
loved her husband, and would be hap-!
pier with him then she ever could be
with the doctor. Jones also pat in the
plea that he should be unhappy lor life
unless the doctor generously granted
his request, declared that he wouid
never give up his love for Mrs., D., and
hinted his intention of outliving the
doctor, if no other way of accomplish
ing bis purpose could be devised.
A few weeks after Dr. Dameron re
ceived this outrageous letter, he met
Jones at the corner of Second and
Munroe streets in Memphis, and shot
him at sight. He was indicted for rnur
der, and his trial came off a few weeks
ago. Jones’ letter asking the doctor
for his wife, was put in evidence by the
defence; the jury acquitted the pri
soner speedily, and the entire commu
nity unanimously approved the ver
dict.
A boy who was told that he should!
always cheer the aged, tried “three I
tunes three and a tiger” on his grand
mother, Christma-< morning, and the old
lady was so startled that sh" spilled a
box full of suuff on him. He looks upon
the beauties of nature with his left eye
now.
Couner-Jourr.Rlir.ns.
Tho Springfield Republican declares j
that “the sowing-machine ring has pool- j
ed nearly half a million of dollars to
carry through a renewal of its patonts.”
Unless there should bo an unexpected
rise in the price of Congressmen, wo
should think that sum will bo amply
sufficient for the purpose.
The Springfield Republican thinks
that Senator Harlan’s soul is just at
present in some joepardy. But it isu’t.
If all men’s souls were as wortldess as
Harfriti’s, the devil would convert his
establishment into a brass foundry and
quit the demnition business entirely.
The Washington Chronicle says that
“In the Credit Mobilier investigation
there was more cry than wool.” Per
haps so; but if that investigation had
produced half as much wool as white
wash, the price of woolen goods would
have declined at least two hundred per
cent, air ady.
An exchange tells us that “President
Grant appeared in excellent spirits at
Baltimore last week.” They coutainly
ought to have been excellent spirits, for
we understand that they were a part of
the last lot lie ordered from here at
eight dollars a gallon.
The New York Commercial Advertiser
says: “Interesting rumors are in cir
culation touching the charming songs
tress, Mine. Nilssou-Rou zaud.” Ah.
indeed! And do they think it will be
a boy or a girl ?
The South Carolina Senator. —A
Washington letter says : Document
purporting to be a full expose of the cor
ruption and bribery attending the elec
tion of Mr. J. J. Patterson as Senator
from South Carolina, have been put in
the hands of Senators. A Conservative
Senator stated on Saturday that be did
not expect any notic; to be taken of the
matter at this session, but that on the
reassembling of the Senate, in Decem
ber, if some member of the majority did
Dot move for an investigation into Mr.
Patterson’s election, be should himself
feel bound to call for it.
e -*
It is noted by the Washington cor
respondent of the Index, as a significant
fact that '.ho President said nothing
about not being a candidate again, aud
adds the ambiguity of this poiut cor
responds with the expectation of careful
observers and are accepted by many as
an indication that he lias not formed
any purpose to retire at the oloso of this
term. The Broudhead letter will yet
be recognized by the country as the
voice of prophecy.
OBITUARY.
Died, on the 14th of February, 1873. Mr*.
Caroline Harris, wife of Wm. H. Harris,
of Washington county, in the twenty-seventh
year of her age. Only about one year ago
she stepped forth upo; the hymenial altar,
took the sacred vows of love, and was the
happy bride of a fond husband. One year
from thence the king of tenors entered the
household and blasted their happiness here
by bis ruthless, icy touch, and she sleeps
new in the cold clay. She left a tender
little babe two weeks old. May the little
innocent receive the kindest blessings of an
Almighty Providence. The bereavet hus
band has the sincere sympathy of the writer.
May he be comforted in his bereavement by
fhe sweet solace of hope, that they may be
u. ited again in a better world, beyond the
reach of time, chance and change. L.

_ STANDARD diHD.
We now offer to the planters of Burke
County this well known Fertilizer. It
has been used by some of the most suc
cessful planters in the State, and found
i by them to be the most reliable article
on the market.
We guarantee the standard and qual
ity to be fully equal, if not superior, to
what we sold last season, every effort
having been used on the part of our
chemist, Prof. Liebig, to improve the
quality and make it superior to all
others. Anticipating a heavy demand,
we have just received a large cargo fresh
from the manufactory at Baltimore, and
are now prepared to fill orders. We
publish no certificates, but simply refer
to those planters who have used it here
tofore, and some can bo found in almost
every neighborhood.
We can safely say that this article
enjoys a reputation superior to any, and
it has always been the aim of the man
ufacturer to make an ai tide on which
, the planter can depend and roly. To
| those who desiro to have it dow, we
wound say that they can purchase now
on the same terms that they can later
in the season.
