GEORGIA BiPIIST CONVENTION'.
Flfcy-fiiurtli Annual Session.
Correspondence Telegraph and Messenger.]
THIRD DAT.
Thomasvili.*, Friday, April 21.
A good many other delegates arrived
laat.night, among whom are Dra. DeVo
tie and Spalding, Hon. J. H. James and
Rev. J. 6 Kirtwell, missionary of the
Southern B.iptiit Convention to China.
The first thing in the order of busi
ness to-day was consideration o‘ tbo re
port of the committee on lccating the
female semin ;ry, appointed by the last
convent : on That report states that nine
places had made application for th° som
in.ry, offering various inducements} two
only of winch merit sufficient attention to
b- presented to the convention, namely,
Forsyth and Gainesville.
The committee then ask the conven
tion to decide which of these localities
-shall be selected The question was thus
brought before the body, and several in
teresting speeches were mado. As tho
committee had not designated a place,
according to instruction?, Dr. Mell insist
ed that ir had not obeyed instructions,
and therefore moved that the report be
recommitted Dr. Tucker moved that
the committee be instructed to report in
fav r of Gainesville. G S Ohear mov
ed that the committee bn instructed to
r- port in favor of Forsyth. Rev. A L
Und-rwood thought the whole movement
unwise. W O Tuggle argued strongly
against. < stahlishing the University. J
G Ryals followed m the same strain,
an*- rting that tho movement was prema
ture, and that tne denomination were
not prepared to unite upou it. He, there
fore, in-'ved that the whole matter be
laid on-the table, which was carried by a
Vote of GO to 28, many not voting
The report of the Trustees of Mercer
Uuivereily was then read by Rev. D E
Butler, and stated that twenty-three
young men graduated at the last cam
mepc ment, and seven (who had previ
ously graduated and bad taken a law
coarse m the University) received law
diplomas, and are entitled to practice as
attorneys. A touching allu-ion was made
to the death of Hon C. B Cole, late law
profes.-or iu the University Owing to
the bardne-aof the times, little has been
done- to increase the endowment of tbe
college, which necess.tit-d the greater
care in hu-banding the present resources
of the college, so that the endowment
may not oe diminished.
The convention then adjourned to hear
a sermon by Rev. R. Ii. Headdon, cf
Cartersville.
AFTERNOON SESSION'.
2:30 p m —The convention on, motion
of Rev. G A Nunn.illy, resolved to rccon
sider the action of the morning in rela
tion to the female college. This threw
open the question again, and gave tbe
committee an opportunity of putting
theui-elv.-s and the proposed enterprise
upon a fairer footing before the conven
tion
Dr S G Hillyerthen spoke strongly
in ‘avor of tne institution, as did G A.
Nuunally, Riv. W. II. Davis, and T. J.
Robert; but the following brethren op
posed it stoutly: Dr J H DeVotie, Eov
J L Un lerwood Judge J. T. Clarke, and
Rev. A. R Callaway.
Nearly the whole afternoon being con
sumed, and there being much diver-aty
of opinion apparent, upon motion of R*.v
J. G Ryatls the whole matter was, l.y
vote, again laid on the table and thus
finally disposed of. Dr. H H Tucker
thru offered a resolution ezpressmg cm
fidence in the various denominational
female colleges, in the State, and recoin
mending them to tho patronage of the
publie, which was passed.
Among the beneficent agents of the
convention is a committee to seenre funds
for aiding aged ministers in needy cir
cumstances By its report new present
ed, this committee showed that it bad
rni-cd {299 40. which amount had been
paid out in benefactions to various aged
ministers during the year. H-therto tbe
Boara has been located at Eit-mton, but
owing to removals, it has been transfer
red to Marietta, and the duties assigned
to tbe follow ing persons: A. W. York,
W R Gignillist and I. -R. Brabmam.
This committee, inn quiet way, has done
moch for the comfort of aged ministers
during the last year.
The report of the Orphan’s Home was
then presented. It hut received and ex-
perded about $3,500 during the year;
bad sustained twenty-one orphans, and
obtained homes for eight of those. Ti e
institution is in a prosperous condition,
and has about $2 000 on hand.
The Committee on Representation in
tho Southern Baptist Convention report
ed I bat the convention was entitled to 35
delegates only. The President was in
siructed te appoint five, who were au
thorized to appoint the others. The
Southern Baptist Convention meets iu
Richmond, Va, on the 11th of May. Of
course the Baptist Churches and A.-.-o-
ciations of Georgia are entitled to a much
larger representation than 35.
Tho day has been taken up with one
subject only, and nothing done on that.
TYden special reports of committees come
up more interesting proceedings will
occur. Rep.
EATONTON’ CORRESPONDENCE.
Eatonton, Apnl 21,1876.
ALI, THAT IS KNOWN ABOUT "FICE.”
The readers of tho Telegraph and
Me-skngeb are doubtless willing to have
as much variety as possible in their pab-
ulrnn, and lienee will consent to turn
aside occasionally from tbe perusal of
political articles, accounts of crimes, ac
cid« nte, etc., for tho purpose of following
philological investigations; csprc’ally
such os relate to words used in the ver
nacular, but not found in the dictiona
ries. There was some disca.-sion several
weeks, or perhaps a month or so ago, in
the papers, on the subject which is
named at tbe head of this article, and
then was the time to publish what 1 am
about to write, but this was not done for
reasons that aro sufficient, though they
need not be enumerated. I find already
prepared to my band an editorial written
by tbe late Joseph A. Turner for his pa
per, the Countryman, in May, 1861, which
reads a3 follows:
“A correspondent writes: *If it is not
out of your line, I would like for you to
tell us if tho word fice is a proper name,
and if so, where will we find it as such Y
We presume our correspondent means
to enquire if there is such a word as fee,
and not whether it is a " proper name,"
({■taking technically, os to grammatical
parlance: that is wo suppose our corres
pondent does not mean to enquire wheth
er fee is a proper or a common noun, but
whether it is a legitimate English word.
We answer that fee is a legitimate word,
though found in nono of the dictionaries.
It is found, however, in the sporting ar
ticles of the Countryman, and in those of
‘‘Larry.” and will be transferred from
those articles to the first dictionary put
oat by a Southern lexicographer of good
cense. The authority for its use will be
sufficient to justify its insertion any
where.
The word fee is a provincialism—a
Southern ism; but what would you do
without it? What would you call that
very large class of dogs, (we do not
mean class of large dogs,) that bear tho
name under consideration, were you to
abolish tho term by which they are des
ignated ? _ The word fee is a universal
colloquialism at the South, but we have
never seen it in print bnt once, (except
when put in print by the Countryman
and his correspondents.) and then the
word was spelt /out instead of fee. It
was in a pamphlet published in 1S19
by Governor John Clark against Hon
William H. Crawford.
Hou. A. H. Stephens onco told us that
ha had seen the word foist in prict <r. one
of Governor Troup’s letters, wo think,
though it might have been in some ar
ticle of John Randolph’s production.
Mr. Stephens also told us that ho was
once engaged in conversation with somo
learned gentleman and scholar—an M. C.
from ono of the Northern StateE—in
which he (Mr. S) used the word fee.
His companion did cot know what he
meant, and instate i there was no such
word. A reference to Webster showed
that that lexicographer, at least, had not
given any such term bis indorsement
Upon inquiry Mr. Stephens's companion
concluded, he said, that Mr. Stephens
was talking about a little dog called, at
tho North, a whiffet.
” And where will you find that word ?”
asked Mr. Stephens.
“ In Webster, of course,” was the
reply.
Bnt an examination showed there was
no such word in Webster as whiffet, and
the two honorable gentlemen found that
both North and South used a word to
specify a little dog, neither of which
words was sanctioned by lexicography.
We have heard nearly as many people
call the little dog under consideration
fiste as we over heard call himyice, but we
thought it was a popular despicability in
pronunciation, like the vile habit of say.
ing doste of medicine, *or dose of mudi-
cide, or like saying twiite, for twice, or
oncef (pronounced wunst), for once After
seeing that old Gov. Clark, or tho man
who wrote, or printed for him, spelled
tbe word under consideration foist, in
stead of fee, and after learning that Gov.
Troup, or John Randolph spelled it tho
same way, wo concluded that those who
say fiste may bo nearer right than those
who say fi*e, though we ourself have
adopted the latter spelling as being con
sonant with the mote usual colloquialism.
We know nothing of the derivation of
tho word fice; but if it bs trno that foist
is the proper spelling for our little dog,
then he may be called so after the old
name (now obsolete) of a light and fast
vessel of which Beaumont and Fletcher
speak in one of their pl.ijs. Johnson
defines foist to bp a “light and swift
ship;” our future Johnson may define it-
to ho a “light and swift dog ” What
we have said here may imply tho origin
of the word foist as applied to a little
dog; cr he may be cailed foist from his
inveterate, intolerable and outrageous
habit of foisting himself into places and
company where be has no business.
Thus, we have told our correspondent
all we know (which is more than anv ono
else knows) about the word “fice, fiste, or
foist.”
I thought it right to produce the fore
going article entire, nnd give proper
credit for it, instead of revamping it and
palming it off as the result of my own
researches—in other words, stealing, as
so many writers do
THE WEATHER AND TIIB CROPS.
We had a great deal of rain last week,
the ground being dry enough to plow
only about two days and a half, except
in new ground or broom sedge. In the
matter of planting this year, every man
appears to be a law to himself, there be
ing more variation, as to time, than I
have ever known. Tbus, when the heavy
frosts came a few weeks since, a good
many people had the bulk of their corn
up, and it was killed so badly that they
had to plow it up and plant over, while
others bad not planted a grain, and were
just then putting their first seed in the
ground. So. now some people have cot
ton up, while others have not begun to
plant, and some tell me they will not
commence before next week The fact
is, we have had a good deal of ugly, dis
agreeable wind that has baked up tbe
lands very badly a f ter tlio hard rains,
and in some pUees. on ill-prepared lauds,
it is difficult to plant as it ahonld be done.
THE WHEAT CROP
is much better than people feared, at one
time it would be. The winter had been
so mild that tbe wheat had advanced
very rapidly, and when the frosts came, a
good deal of it was “in tho b .ot.” In
this stage, every wheat raiser knows that
it. is very easily injured, nnd oftentimes
almost rninpd by frosts. This year, how
ever. sepias to have been an exception to
to the rule. I have heard of very few
fields that were seriously hurt, although
so many were just at the point of danger.
O its seem tc bo doing pretty well. A
tbe risk or following in the beaten track
of misapprehension, 1 will state that
believe there is considerably moro land
in small grain, in Putnam county, than
there has been any other year since the
war.
THE ENTERTAINMENT LAST NIGHT
realized all the expectations that had
been formed of it. You know I wrote
you that the ladies of Eatonton bad a
curious sort of dictionary, in which, by
some strange sort of omission the word
fail could not be found They all did
well; so did the gentlemen. The ama
lenr brass band played with accustomed
sweetness and skill to assemble the
crowd, while tbe amateur orchestra
performed it-* part before the foot lights
in a ravishing manner. My regret was
that so much conversation was kept up
I could not enjoy the tnnsic as I wished
Eatonton is certainly favored in tho way
of musical talent-, as all can testify who
visit her churches, or her entertainments
like that of last night. The house was
fall and overflowing, for m«ny stood on
tbe stairsteps Although the ndmission
fee was only twenty-five cents, a hand
some sum was realized to pay for hoad
and foot stones on tbe soldiers* graves.
L II.
THE CENTURY BUSINESS.
tloxv Bribery Is Punished in
tho Old Country.
It seems that thi3 is an epoch of crime
and peculation in high places, not only in
America, but in the most distant coun
tries. Nor is the kleptomania confined
to the secular authorities, but has evtn
invaded the sacred portals of the church.
But the same immunity to the guilty
parties does not obtain beyond tho seas
that is enjoyed here. By cable telegram
of the 14th ir.st. we hear that in Athens,
Greece, tho High Court of Justice has
sentenced Bilassaponlas, a former min
ister of ecclesiastical affairs, to one year’s
imprisonment, and deprivation of politi
cal rights during three year?, and to give
the $10,000 he received as a bribe to tho
poor bouse.
Nikolapoulas, a former minister of
justice, was sentenced to ten months’
imprisonment. The Archbishop of Cap-
balonia wa3 fined $10,000; the Arch
bishop of Patras $4,400, and the Arch-
bishop of Mcssene $4,400, being double
the amount they received as bribes. All
were impeaehedfor corruption and simony
This is business in the right direction,
and will put a period to modern pecula
tion in that ancient city, which was onco
the abode of Pericles, and the centre of
civilization and refinement in the known
universe.
And why does not enlighten'd and
progressive America emulate this exam-
tile ? The answer is plain and significant
Because the party in possession of the
government is rotten from centre to cir
cumference, and to nnmask and punish
one official is to imperil all. Two A' torney
Generals of tho United States, (Williams
and Pierrepont), the Secretary of War,
(Belknap) of the Navy (Ribeson), and
others of the highest administrative
council in tho country, to say nothing of
Babcock and the multitude of lesser offi
cials, have been implicated, and it is im
possible to say where these villainona
ramfications will terminate. They per
meate the enstom-house, ■ destroy tbe
revenue, rango through tho navy yards
and public works, vitato tho treaties and
contract with tho poor Indian, and en’er
into every government engagement from
tho least to the greatest Nay, it is even
gravely asserted that the President him
self is obnoxious to tho charges of venali
ty and corruption.

Entertaining Letter From Dr. Tucker
Chronicle and Sentinel.J
Somo days since wo stated that the at-
tention of many of our citizens had been
attracted by a discussion in regard to
tho question whether the year 1800 be
longed to tho 18th or the 19th century.
We published at tho same time, it will
be recollected, a decision from the New
York Journal of Commerce, declaring
most emphatically that the year in quta
tion most undoubtedly was tbe last year
of tho 18th century. Several of our citi
zens, however, did r.ot regard this a3
conclusive, and an argument having
arisen between two gentlemen in refer
ence to the matter it was mutually
agreed to leave the decision of the ques
tion to tho Chancellors of Yale ami
Harvard Colleges and the Chancellor
the University of Georgia. The follow,
ing reply from Dr. Tucker, Chancellor
of the University, has been received :
Athens. April 15 1876
Messrs Wm F Herring and T. B. Phinizy,
Augusta, Ga.:
Gentlemen—I have had tho pleasure
to receive your noto of yesterday, asking
me to decide a certain matter in dispute
I thank you for the compliment to my
judgment, bnt must protest against be
ing considered an arbiter; still I will
cheerfully express my opinion, which the
parties can take for what they think it is
worth. The fact out of which the ques
tion arises is, that a certain person was
born in the year 1800. The questton ta,
in what century was he horn ? Observe
in the first place, that the question is
merely a verbal one; that is, it has ref
erence solely to the use of words. As to
the fact that such a person was born
so many years or days after Christ was
born, there is ro dispute. Tho only
point in issue is, how shall the fact be
described? Hence, it is simply a ques
tion of language. Now, instead of do
scribing it in ono word, let ua describe it
in several sentences. Let X represent
any period of time, whether a day, or
year, or a century, or an assn. A certain
man is liviog through these periods. He
do-s not enter on tho second X until the
first X ii completed. Nothing can bo
plainer. St, too, ho does not enter on
the 19’h X until tbe 18 preceding X‘i
have been completed. Now. let Xl Xir,
Xiii and Xiv ns of equal value, and let
each of them represent a period of 365
days. Then Xu is not entered on until
Xi is completed That is, the 365'li of Xi
must have passed Of course Xm is not
entered on until Xii is completed, and Xiv
is not entered on until Xm is completed.
That is, tho fourth X is not reached—
not touched until 3 times 365 days have
passed. Of course the 19th X is not
reached until 18 times 3G5 days have
passed. The 18 X’s must be completed
before tho 19th is reached. In other
words, the end of the year 1800 must be
reached before the beginning of the 19tb
can be reached. The 19th begins when
1800 years have fully passed, and not
before.
To illustrate. Suppose that when Cel.
What-ever-his-name-was in Atlanta was
in the act of eating his 18th partridge
his stomach had failed. Would anybody
says that it failed on the 19th ? Now
let the centuries be called partridges.
While old Father Time is swallow
ing tho 18th something happens
Would anybody say that it happened
while Father T. was on his 19th? Be
member, that he must swallow the last
day, hour and minute of 365, multiplied
by 1800, before he is through with the
18th century. At any time in 'he year
of our Lord 1800 the IS times 365 bad
not elapsed—that is, tho ISth century
was not complete. So, a man born at
any time during that year was born in
the 18th century. It could not bo the
19th, unless the full period of 1800 years
had elapsed But way should hero bo
any difficulty on this point ? How ‘came
anybody to raise tho issue?
It is because it is easier to count the
century from 1700 to 1800 and from 1S00
to 1900, etc, in round numbers, than it is
to count from 1701 to 1301 and from 1801
to 1901, etc.
In this easy but inexact way of count
ing, and a3 language is popularly used,
Mr. Milligan was born in the 19th cen
tury ; bnt in the strict and proper use of
the words, notmng can occur in tho 19tb
period (whether it be the 19th day, year,
or 19th century), until 18 full periods
have been completed
Mr. M. was born January 20, 1800 At
that point of old Father Tima’s banquet
be bad swallowed 365x1700x20 days, and
had 345 days more to swallow befora be
reached his 19th century.
I am, gentlemen, very respectfully,
yours, H. H. Tucker.

ing the necessity that exists for ita use,
considerable enquiry and comment have been
made, especially bv members of the pro
fession, who seem to have an idea that I
propose to introduce remedies hypodermicalh
by puncturing tbe skin. Not so; that ia
too violent, too untatural, too alow; for
while dre-ps might be so conveyed,almost unlim
ited quantise- might be made to enter by the
portal vein. It taxes belief, I know, to sup
pose that any substance can be made to pass
a seemingly solid wall without an opening, and
one woald almost have to a. e before he would
credit it; but fortunatel. tbe fact iseasilvdemoiv-
strable, evtn upon membrane that is dead, and
no room is left to doubt its living capabilities.
Ignorance on this subject, however, even among
medical men, is easily excusable; for Osmose is
so new that many, doubtless, have not beard of
it. Indeed, in bis copy of Hooper’s Modiral Dic
tionary, a standard work, the word is not men
tioned at all, and bnt slightly so in Dungleaon.
1 - a signification, however, is, “the transmission of
fluids and gases through membrane” When,
from the inside of a vessel, it is kn< wn aa ex-os
mose; when from the outside, end-osmose. The
blovd itself cannot tie tbus transmitted, though
some of its conriituents may; the gates are ex
changed in the lungs; tbe fluids, lost mostly by
the skin, are received byt}e stomach, and pass,
partieula'ly in allaying thirst, directly to the
vascular system, by endosmose. It is this great
and long neglected physiological fact that is
being utilized in tho treatment of disease, and
fluids of proper affinities and tenuity, bearing
snch solvents as an engorged or obstructed state
of tbe capillaries require for their clearance, can
be made tbus to enter and pass to tho very spot
where needed.
Tbe route to the liver by tbe portil vein from
tbe stomach and digestive viscera is, of course,
as old as Adam, hut medical hooka may be
searched iviin even at this late day for a scientific
treatise, adapting tbe use of remedies to that par
ticular channel, and the present announcement
has already be -n received by parties who might

Charlotte, N. C, April 20, 1874.—Having
been an invalid for twenty-five years, and hav
ing found relief from your Simmons’ Liver Reg
ulator, I would be doing great injustice in seep
ing the secret from the publin Having taken
your ever blest medicinal Regulator, I am now
in good bodily health, thanks to this great medi
cine. I had good physicians, but they did not I by tne testimony of hi* own senses'; and, b.v the
reUeve me. and until 1 was recommend, a to bfegsfog of heaven on a good cause, he intends to
take the Regulator I was not relieved, but make such good use of hi* knowledge, that the

to its latest generation. The whole subject of

of elimination be well considered. Those reed

every man should do his best to make discovery

Having had his addition thus directed for
sometime,results ua rant the assumption that

fection or infallibility. Pioneer-like, he is only
blazing tbe way, hoping that those who come
alter may much improve the read. With prop
erly adapted remedies, he contends for the poo-
I sibility of sending them, by endosmose, direct
from the stomach to tbe liver, the heart, tho
lungs, the heart again, and thence to the farthest
capillary, making them pervade tho entire sub
stance ol tbe living organization, and is prepared
