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.”— Christian Era. 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 furnishing supplies, money, farming utensils or other articles of necessity to make crops, anJ alto, all persons furnish ing clothing arid medicinos, supplies or provisions for the support of families, or medical service, tuition or school books, shall have the same ritrlit to secure them 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 j for in this section must be created by 1 special contract in writing, and every persofi giving a lien under this section, having previously giving a lien or liens under it, or any other lien, shall, when giving anew lien under this section on the same property to another person, in form such person, if interrogated as to the facts, of the amount of such lien or liens, to whom given ; and such persons giving false information as to the facts, aforesaid, shall be guilry of the same offense as that persons fraudulently makiuga second deed, under Sec. 4511 of the Code and punished a- herein pro scribed; and the liens created under thin section aro hereby declared to be supe rior in rank to other liens, except liens for taxes,the general and special liens of laborers, and the special liens to land lords, to which they shall be inferior, and shall, as between them-elves and other liens not herein excepted, rank ac cording to date, and shall only exist as liens on the crop of the year in which they were made. 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. New Advertisements. j REWARD!
