Tne Appleton Home.
This institution is a blessing and orna
ment to Macon. If tbe big-souled foun
der, Mr. W. EL Appleton; of New York
city, had done nothing more in bia life’s
career than establish this excellent shel
ter and practical school for the helpless
orphans of the country, ho would well
deserve to be classed among the benefac
tors of mankind. Those having charge
of the establishment, too, hare exhibited
great wisdom and an’enlarged philan
thropy in its conduct and management.
“Sister Margaret,” (tho unpretending
title of the Diceotre.-e.) is a model of
piety, gentleness and goodness, and tho
evidences of her motherly care and affec
tion for the unfortunate inmates of the
Home, strike the visitor at every step in
hiB progrees through the premises. Or-
dtfr, heaven’s first law, is impressed upon
every thing; and cleanliness, which is next
to Godliness, seems to be the rule of the
household. Perfect neatness reigns in
tvery department, and shows the presence
of an ever watchful eye.
The writer, a jeompaniod by Dr. Hall
once spent a pleasant bait hour in ob
serving and admiring all the details of
this excellent eleemosynary foundation
and repeated his visit on yesterday. Wo
found the floors as spotici3 as a snowflake,
the wall?, fnrniture, books, mantels,
etc., guiltless of dnst, and an indescriba
ble air of comfort, peace and purity per-
vadlDg everything. Although onr oom-
ing was unannonneed and a complete
enrprlse, the matron answered the door
bell herself and stood before na the very
impersonation of neatness and oordiality.
Ushered into the parlor, a pleasant con
versation ensued, during which we
learned that at this time there are
twxntt-sxvxh female orphans
provided for at the Home, varying in
age from four to seventeen years. They
are reoeived, without distinction, from all
classes and denominations of the white
people of the entire State, and treated
with the most rigid impartiality. It
may be added, in this connection, too,
that the children are not spoiled and
pampered in the leaet degree. Their
clothing, wbil * abundant and scrupu
lously neat, i • exceedingly plain, and uni
form in ttx.ure and color. Of good,
wholesome food, also, there ia no stint
and tl e sleeping accommodations are ar
ranged with a due regard to the warmth
and comfort of the inmates.
Particular attention is paid to ths
mental, moral and industrial training of
the children. They receive a plain En
glish education; are carefully taught all
the duties of the household, and
trained to become usefal and upright
members of society.
As they advance in years and are able to
earn a support, comfortable situations are
procured for them in respectable familieo
where good treatment can be assured.
Wo visited the school room where tbe or-
phacs were all engaged in their studies,
and never saw a healthier, more robust
or happier looking set ot children. In
deed, net a few of them, were infinitely
better off than when their own parents
were alive and had charge of them.
Sister MaTgaret showed ns over the
grounds of the “Home,” which have been
reoently enoloBed, and will soon be in a
high state of cultivation. And hero it
should bo stated that this excellent lady
and her two assistants, the teacher and
housekeeper, receive no stipend or sslary
whatever. Theirs is a labor of love and
charity, and they are oontent with a bare
enppott for themselves. Nsy, more; their
every onergy is devoted to supplementing
tbe efforts in behalf of the poor orphans
by personal contributions of their own.
Thus, the new fence whioh encloses tbe
premises, was built, in part, from the
private lands of Sister Margaret, obtain
ed by giving music lessons ontside of the
institution. This worthy lady also has
reoently planted numerous fruit trees,
which will add greatly to the comfort of
the orphans, and a well stocked kitohen
garden besides.
Ail hands m the establishment unite in
the pleasing and healthful task of culti
vating the grounds. The writer recently
saw a dozen of the larger girla handling
with praiseworthy energy the hoe and
shovel, and they seemed to enjoy their
work immensely. Of course, the plow
ing, etc., iB done by hired help, but the
after labor of cultivation will be mainly
performed by ths children themselves.
This will prove a most healthy and nse*
ful recreation to them. The matron
find3 time also to direct her attention to
the rearing of choioe flowers, and the
court yard of the ‘‘Home” is adorned
with choioe roses, bulbous plants, violets
and many ether beantifnl and sweet
smelling shrubs and flowers.
The water of the establishment is sup
plied by collecting the rainfall from the
roof and conducting it into an immense
barrel-shaped tank capable of holding 10,
000 gallons. A few months slue so greet
was the pressure upon this verse! that it
exploded, deluging the basement of ths
building in an instant and creating no
little consternation. We cannot speak
too highly of the Appleton Home and
thoae who have charge of it. Ida on
honor to the city of Macon, and the
denomination under whose auspices itia
conducted. Such institutions stand forth
like verdant oases in the dreary wilder-
183 of a cold and nnfeeling world.

Citizen Anbriot.
THE MAN WHO DREW THE GRAND PRIZE
IN THE FRENCH LOTTERY.
The Paris world has been muoh excited
over the “lucky owner” of ticket No 978,-
699, which drew the grand prize in the
French National Lottery. The first ques
tion raised was who is he ? This is sne
ered by Bicbard Whittnge, the Paris
correspondent of tbe New York Worlii
who identifies him m tbe person of one
Anbriot, a journeyman leather dresser.
The grand drawing was on Sunday,
like most other French holiday doings on
that day. Anbriot was making a half
day’8 work for his employer at bis bench;
bat at noon he “cleaned himself,” acoard-
ing to his own phraseology, for an eve
ning stroll with bis family. He learned
the winning nnmber, bnt bad thought so
little of the lottery that it was not nntil
he got home after his tramp and hunted
up his ticket that he realized the fact
that he had drawn the grand prize of
$25, - t>00 Then, he says, bis face flashed,
bnt he admits no other evidence or aot of
excitement.
Toe World correspondent hunted him
up afterwards and says found him .at
his lodgings on a fifth floor in the Buo
Cardinal Lamoine—quarter of the Lux
embourg—a dirty street, a dirty house,
bnt a clean home. On one side of the
fire sat his old mother, on the other side
his wife; tho adopted child, a niece—
they have no children of their own—was
in the next room. He assured me with
great indignation that he had never for
gotten himself for a single moment un
der the excitement of tho news.
The Paris presB and innumerable
friends in private life were fertile in sug
gesting how Anbriot shonld spend his
money. A thousand deserving widows
wanted a hundred francs apiece. One
thousand six hundred and thirty young
men had applied for a start in life. In
numerable speculators had shown ho
he could double his money In Jess than a
month. He had been importuned to
build three bridges—endow seventeen
orphan asylums and lead off in a hundaed
internal improvement enterprises. But
Auk riot was unmoved. His old mother
wanted to go back to her native province
and cultivate a garden patch, and Aubri
ot had therefore left his bench and sworn
devotion henceforth to potatoes and cab
bages. He is a wise man who can draw
so little ill from a lottery prize.
Heal lb of Mr. TMden.
A New York correspondent of the
Charleston Neves and Courier, writing on
the 21 instant, says there was consider
able discussion in certain political quar
ters to-day over the published statements
that Samuel J. Tiiden was suffering from
a recent attack of a paralytic nature,
which affected his throat and bis entire
tele side. A gentleman intimately ac
quainted with him was interviewed to
night by a Star reporter on the snbject.
He said: “Mr. Tiiden is no more serious
ly affected, just at the present, than he
has been for some time past. His age
and the constant excitement he has un
dergone daring the past two years have
both stood in the way ot a restoration to
health, although his friends are hopcfuL
His phyeicianB express no opinion, to
outsiders, at least.
As far as I bare learned, tbeir treat
ment has been followed by some im
provement in Mr. Tilden’s general
health, bnt the nnfavorable symptoms pe
culiar to paralytic condition remain.
Electricity has been used, I think, by
Or. Fiint.”. “Coes the affeotion extend
tx the left side and limbi, or is it oonfined
to the throat alone ?" inquired the re
porter. “Well, it vu first observed in
hispeouliar hoarseness and the difficulty
ha had in articulating when addressing
any one. This beoame aggravated to
such an extent as to attract almost uni
versal attention among his friends. For
some time it was attributed to a oo!d,
bat this was soon discovered to be a mis
take. By the advioe of his friends he
placed himself nnder careful medical
treatment, and has been so ever sinoe..
"Of coarse it was not thought desirable
to apprise the public of his condition, as
his friends entertained hopes of complete
restoration ultimately.” “When did his
left side become affeotedf” was next ask
ed- “I imagine, and so do others, that it
most have been affected many Tears ago
when he lost the nse of his bridle arm;
that fact, however, did not spoil his cour
age in the saddle or visibly interfere with
his horseback exercis-s, of which he is
very fond. The facial and optio nerves
were also affected. Yon no doubt remem
ber what the newspapers said about it at
the time. The throat- affection is of
quite recent date, and I regard it as an
aggravation of tbe existing symptoms.
Revolutionary.
THE DEMAND OF CONGRESS FOR A FREE
BALLOT. * •
Mr. Hayes sounds the key note of the
Radicals in the coming struggle for a
free ballot, by characterizing the design
of tbe Democrats to insist on the repeal
of the laws patting the elections nnder
the control of Federal partisans, as “rev
olutionary”—anotbir rebellion! Every
thing contemplating a possible challenge
of Radical despotism is, of.conrse, revolu
tion. They say they saved tha conntry
and therefore it belongs to them of right,
to do just what they will with it. It
makes no particle of difference whether
the conflict ot will ia to be determined oy
liw or by force—it is revolutionary any
how, because a pack of-aotefa wfc j uuught
to destroy the country have co proper
business or rights in it any way it can
be fixed.
To carry out this view of tbo case they
began, as to the Southern States, by dis
franchising the whiles and then letting
them p&sb by the bars of the franchise in
small squads as the conntry and the for
tunes of Radicalism could bear.it. Bnt
they got in too fast, nnder the cirenm-
stances. The colored voters beoame dis
satisfied with tbe Freedman’s Bank plun
der—the wretohed fuglemen set over
them—the small share of the spoils al
lotted to them, and so on; and so it be
oame necessary to set up a direct Federal
supervision of the polls in the States, and
have tbe latter regulated from the de
partments at Washington,
Now, if a system of statutes applicable
to the Southern States alone could have
been passed, tbe probabilities are that it
might have been soqnieBoedin for a term
longer. Bat nececssrily any system in
this osse mast have a general application,
and tbe Northern brotherhood were natur
ally less easy nnder it. They did not
like to be supervised in tbe exerolBe or th%
eleetive franchise by a pack of Wash
ington appointee! working for five and
ten dollar* a day—men who aelnally bul
lied them at the polls—took fraudulent
possession of tbeir eleotion papers, and
played high mastery over the whsle dis
charge of a pnblio dnty, the very eeienoe
of which is that it most be free and inde
pendent.
According to the exhibit made by the
Attorney General of tbe United States,
in response to a Senatorial enquiry, there
were 16,473 of these Supervisors and
Deputy Marshals employed a 1876,,afc
expense of $230,682, in the 8tates of
New York, Pennsylvania, California; Illi
nois, New Jersey and Massachusetts;
and this year, besides $902,291 already
spent on these unconstitutional cattle.
Congress was asked for $260,000 more to
make up deficiencies in paying them off.
Aocording to Hayes, it Is a pieoe of
revolution and rebellion for Congress to
refuse these demands, and insist that no
money shall be appropriated unless on
guaranty that it shall not be devoted to
dragooning the electors. Thie is a
hellion which hae been rife for the last
two hundred years of English and Amer
ican liberty. The defence of the Com
mons lies in withholding the supplies.
The Honse, representing the tax-payers
in America, has a right established by the
Constitution and itnmemorable usage to
insist that the tax money shall aot be
deed to enslave them in compensating
the toils of tyranny and paying for the
chains.
TIis Mew York Cathedral.
The Githolio Advocate charaoterizis ss
sinpidly malioious the article on the New
York Cathedral in the Atlantic Monthly:
Mr. Cook, who wrote it, begins by re
peating the same old story, that has been
told and denied over and over for twenty
years, abont tbe Catholics having ob
tained tbe site of tbe Cathedral from tbe
oity as a gift. His version is, that “tbe
city wss jockeyed out of tbe finest site on
tbe island by a crafty and unscrupulous
priest, playing on the political hopes and
fears of aa base a lot of men as ever got
tbe government of a great
city into their power.” The “crafty and
unscrupulous priest” was the late Arch
bishop Hughes. Mr. Cook says that “for
the consideration of one dollar” ths Arch
bishop got tbe Cathedral site in fee sim
ple from the city. If he had token tha
trouble to look over the books in tbe Keg-
iater’s office, where Ml real estate trans
fers are reoorded, he would have learned
that the city bad sold this Cathedral
property before Archblebop Hughes was
born. The sale was made in 1799; and
the'eity has had no claim on the property
since that time. The ground was bought
by one Robert Lylburn, a merohant, who
held it ten years. It changed ownership
three times before it- came into posses
sion of the Catholics.
The third sale was mads to one Cor
nelius Heeney, aa Irishman, who, in
1826, conveyed it to the trustees of St.
Fstxiok ■ Cathedral. The oity had jttit
abont as much to do with giving it to
the Catholics as the man in the moon.
The property had belonged to Heeney for
ten yean before he turned it over to the
trustees. He must have been an uncom
monly chari table man, for, at his death, he
left a large amount of property in Brook
lyn in trnst for the Catholic homes and
hospitals. The consideration he received
for the Cathedral site was ten dollars—
merely nominal, bnt enough to make a
valid contract. It was twenty-six years
General Gordon Extinguishes
Ur. Felton.
Gesygia’s noble Senator and battfe-
scarred hero, after long months of suffer
ing forbesranos, now, thoroughly aroused
and incensed by the repeated attacks in
print of the wife of the Independent,
Parson Felton, who, he charges, inspired
her every utterance, while masking his
battery behind her womanly presence, at
length comes to the front with a response,
which is printed elsewhere.
It is one of those dear, ringing pro
ductions which elite the heart and falls
upon the ear like the sound of a trumpet.
Moreover, aside from the pledged - word
of a brave man and true Christian, there
j^&R&mm'eviggnoe of .Utsicnth ot what
he bijs, and we can bnt admire that
cblralr^which passes by without one
syllable of reprobation the venial fault of
a wife and mother who espouses the cause
bf her liege lord, right or wrong.
No fear that General Gordon wonld
ntter one word of diaiSBpeet to a woman,
however great the provocation. And tbe
doth of ber husband, too, has restrained
him nntil fotbearanoe oeased to be a vir.
tne. Now, therefore, he oomes forward
“in thoughts tbat bteathe and words that
barn,” with a reply, not to Mrs. Felton,
bnt to the only responsible party, ber
husband; end we leave it to any candid
mind to say whether his answer is not a
triumphant refutation of tho insidious
charges made against him.
If anoh a man as Senator Gordon is lia
ble to be misrepresented and assaulted,
who can expect to escape the shafts ot
oalamny ?
Any affeotion of the nature of paralysis . after Heeney conveyed the property to
wocl ’ not, I think, bo confined to tbe the trustees, that the Cathedral was pro.
tbrri bnt would make itself felt more
generally. That, at least, is tbe nniform
experience in inch oases, I believe.” “So
far, then,” said the reporter, “his illness
has not incapacitated him for ordinary
bnsmees ?” "He bas certainly bean very
much prostrated, altboagh not strlotly
speaking, incapacitated,” waa the rsplv.
“Anillnessof that description, to incapa
citate a person, wonld be very serious in*
deed and possibly fatal” “then hie
friends feel no serions apprehension on
hisatconnt ?”ask the reporter. “No, bnt
there is always the danger of a recur
rence of nnfavorable symptoms from un
usual excitement or other causes.”

protest against Chinese immigration, as
fraught with the direst conseqaences to
the white race and civilization in Amer

A FORECA8T OF THE FUTURE.
The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Enquirer says the general im
pression there Is that the called session
will last any way nntil next August. The
Demootali first propose to paei separate
bills repealing the supervisor law and the
jnrot’s test oath. It is expected they will
both evoke a spirit of polltioal debate In
both Honses. Bath will eventually pass,
ard then it*is expooted tbat tbe Free'-
dent will veto them, of coats:; bat, not
baring a two-thirds majority, tho Demo
crats oannot override a veto m either
House. Next, the repealing olaoae will
be ddded to tbe legislative appropriation
bill, and tbe Republicans claim tbat he
will ve.o the appropriation bill also.
Then the only recourse left is for the
Democrats to yield or give the President
tne aiternstivo bf boieg cn. off from tbe
money supplies or sign the hilt.. Benator

Tbe Speaker.
The qnidannos repoit a lively canvass
between Blaokbnrn, ot the Seventh Ren
te oky distriot, and Speaker Randall for
eleotion to the ohalr of the Honse, with
Alleged probabilities in favor of tbe ana-
oess of Blackburn. The House will ran
a good deal of risk by making eaoh
change. Randall’s experience, toot, self-
possession and readiness are invaluable
at sash a oriels as this, when, In point of
faot, tbe possession of a Tollable, working
majority of Democrats is a matter of some
doubt.
We are aware some oempisints have
been mado of Randall, bnt he mast be
regarded as fortunate to have held the
ohsireolong, under esoh peoaliar oir-
(ium9tanoes, and to have mado so few en
emies. He is a good offiaer, and the
Demoorats will weakon themselves by
failing to retain him.
A reason against a chan go for Black
burn will also be found in tho fact that
he is a Southern man, and his election
will play into the hands of tbe Ridicule,
while it will be no important gain to the
South. The Radicals feed on sectional
animosity. In the pending called session
the struggle to maintain Federal super
vision and control of tho ballot in tho
States is all to be fonoht on the hy
pothesis that a free ballot cannot be
maintained in the Southern States,except
by Federal bayonets.
This is the only plea for the defense ot
each laws that can possibly be urged;
and it sill be pressed vehemently with
snob virulent sectional misrepresentation
as to produce much excitement and ill
temper. This is what the Radicals will
strive to accomplish. It is what they
want It iB in the line of their policy.
Will Southern Democrats be so incautious
as to pat u Southern man in the Speaker's
chair with such a prospect? He will be
more liable than a Northern man (partic
ularly of Rindall’s temper) to lose self-
control, and be much more open to the
charge of Southern bias, whether de
served or not. Let Southern Raprcsen-
tatives ponder well over this matter.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE.
OaurrHOBFZ, Ga., March 7th, 1879.
Ths writer broke loose incontinently
yesterday from the treadmill of his daily
labors, to pass a few hours in response to
an argent telegram, with tne Interesting
family of a valued friend.
It was ono of those balmy, delightful
days which are the precursors of -w*

with all its emerald beauty and wealth of
flowws.
T.ue, one “swallow docs cot make a
summer,” but a half dozen such diuin .l
revolutions of tbe eartb, wonld cause the
swelling bods to nnforl their -tender- fol
iage,and ope the tbroits of a legion of re
joicing mockingbirds.
■ A dreamy haze shrouded tha face of
nature, and bee and butterfly .emerged
from their hiding places in ques: of in
choate blossoms on the lea. The plow
boy’s whistle too,rang one on the still air,
and many busy bands oonld be seen de
positing the kernels of earn beneath the
soft ridges whioh were ready to receive
them. Inehort, it was seed time, and
the trusting husbandman sought to im
prove the genial season.not doubting that
the bountiful “Giver of ail mercies,”
wonld bestow ths needed, “early and lat
ter rain.”
Heaven grant tbat the touch of the
Ice King may not wither the fond hopes
of these sons of toil.
TIL LOW TRAVELERS.
Scanning the goodly number of paseen-
geis we descried several friends, among
the number, Judge Grice, who has so en
deared himself to the people of this cir
cuit, and Captain DaBignon, the talent
ed young barrister and gallant command
er of the Baldwin Bines. There were other
agreeable ladies and gentlemen on board
also, to say nothing of the nsnal corps of
“commercizl agents” vulgarly yclept
drummers, who represent Broadway and
every man of commerce on the rail, and
will prodace their samples, if needs be,
ia n twinkling.
Conversing with many ot them, the
hours sped rapidly by, to the niter neg-
leot of the usual “light reading” which
had been provided ror the journey.
We are are tempted to reproduce some
of this w*y-sidechat>
ANECDOTE Of GOVERNOR JOHNSON.
Thus, an ardent admirer of Judge H.
V. Johnson who is anxious to see him
again in the United States Senate, recall
ed all inoident in his oareer of whioh tbe
writer was also a witness.
It was at the Demooratio Convention
held in MiUedgeville before the war which
nominated Howell Cobb for Governor.
In the morning session, Governor John
son made one of the grandest efforts of
his lift, in opposition to the olsims of that
distinguished gentleman. Not oonolnding
at the bonr of adjournment, he resumed
hie speeoh in the afternoon, but whether
because the thread of his thoughts had
been broken, or from tbe enervating ef-
feots of a hearty dinner, with far led! ef
fect. Several times during bis remarks,
tbe ex-Governor said with mnoh empha
sis, “I stand upon an impregnable rook
Mr. Chairman in tho defense of my po
sition,” or words to that effeet. The
ever ready and gifted
HSNRT B. JACKSON, -
in his reply, was singularly happy and
salient. Alluding to the above oft re
peated expression, he said in substance:
“Mr.. Chairman, L devoutly trust that
my distinguished friend who has planted
himself npon a rock, may not share tbe
fate of Prometheus of old, who was so se
curely lashed to a similar solid founda
tion, that the vultures preyed npon his
vitals/’
We heard another admirable story told
upon Milledgeville’e
CHlVAEiltlC AND TALINTSD SON,
Senator Forman, when he was prosecut
ing his capital campaign among the
mountains. Every one will remember
the enthusiasm and vim which be carried
into tho oanvass.
Oa one aocasion he attended an im
mense gathering, assembled to witness
the exeontion of a criminal for mnrder.
When tbe poor wretch had mounted the
gallows and the fatal rope wa3 adjusted
aronnd his neck, the sheriff asked if he
had any parting word to leave behind
him. Overcome, however, with grief and
emotion, he declined to ntter a word.
Just then, when the fearfal leap into eter
nity was about to bo made and a deep
hnsh pervaded the entire crowd, onr Mil-
ledgeville champion sprang to the front
and epoke thus: “Mr. Sheriff, a3 this
poor man yields the floor, before any far
ther proceedings I would respectfully beg
to oe allowed to present tbe claims of
MiUedgeville as tho rightful capital of
Georgia.” We give ths incident as re*
lated, and wonld only add tnat after snch
a manifestation of devotion to the cause
he had espoused, every man present ahonld
have voted to oarry ns back to the ‘ Halls
of onr Fathers.”
And so the hoars sped rapidly away,
and ere wa knew it, the train had paused
at
famous coLSTHoars,
and we were transferred to the onslody
of a coterie of oherlshed friends. A few
moments aftewsrds, behold the joyons
writer romping with two bonnoing ba
bies, the children of his host, and per
fectly happy. One of them, a three-year-
old, bad been observing his grandfather
at work in tho garden, and wanted to
have a "patch of his own.”
■ ‘Well,” said the old gentleman, “I will
sow these egg plants for yon,” and he de
posited the seeid in a separate plat of
ground.
The little urchin, wild with delight,
exclaimed, “Ob, grandpa, who will
oaokle to make the eggs corns up when
they get ready ?” Tha old man was non
plussed. Among the gnests present was
a most exoellent lady, from Prinoeton,
New Jersey—a derated Preebyterian and
nnswervering friend ot Old Nassau. The
conversation chanced to turn npon the
riots and lawlessness among tbe students
in many of onr eollegts. Onr vonng
friend J. B. W., Jr., to the great soandal
of his fair auditor, told a story of a fath
er in New York, who, desiring to enter
hie eon at Princeton, as a preliminary
step, made him pnt down his Latin and
Greek for a season, and

THE HISTORY OF OGLETHORPE.
On the Fourth of Jaly, 1861, tbe North
western railroad was completed as far as
Oglethorpe, and the eveut waa oelebrated
with great rejeioings and a grand ban
quet, whioh was attended by thousands
of people from the snrronndlng counties.
In expectation of this event, the year pre
vious, the site, whioh was owned by
XSeSRA CAB AN ISS & BLACK,
was laid ont for ths space of oce mile
square, In lots and plaoeo upon the mar
ket. A speculative demand sprang up
immediately, and prices advanced to a
very high Avars. Some of. .these lets
brsaght $1,200 each. From that mo

In its most prosperous days, aa many
aw one thousand bales of ootton have
hi si received in ■ single dsy, and the to
tal for one season fouled np one hundred

staple in Florida hauled tbeir etops to
Oglethorpe, and daring one season of se
vere drought, when the interior rivers in
Georgia were net navigable, large quanti
ties of co ton in the warehouse of
CCZ.UK3US AND anriCLA
were traoateircd by wag'oo to <hts head of
r-tilroad transports-ion. The trade of
Oglethorpe, at tbat period, tnelndsd the
remote oonuties of Talbot, S:ewatt, Har

tbe town coataiord

six cotton warehouses,.four hotels, aixty-
five stores, and upwards cf four thousand
inhabitants. The present population is
a boa t-500,-black -and-white, with twtr
churches, two or three warehouses,
court house and jail, one bote), Zone
stores and six or eight small shops and
places of business.
ITS DECADENCE.
In 1853 the smallpox broke eat and
ragtd *nh great violence, which occa
stoned s general stampede of the people
in all directions. Thie well nigh ruined
the merchants who had just laid in heavy
stocks. To get rid of them they were
forced to peddle their goods in wagone
all through Southern Georgia and in
Florida.
A- that time too, it beoame apparent
that the road wonld t-osn be extended in
a Sortb western direction, and many of
ibe merchants transferred the.r plio&s of
business to Amenoas In advance. In
deed, very many buildings, and one ho
tel were torn down and reconstructed in
(bat town, whioh has Biooa thriven with
no mnoh rapidity. One of the hutela still
standing m Montezuma, was also remov
ed from Oglethorpe. Other dwellings
and edifices wore bought at nominal rates
by the farmers, and when taken down

blooks and squares disappeared, leaving
unsightly gaps in the onoe prosperous and
handsome little oity, whioh are now sim

Ere long, the town failing to continue
its organization forfeited her oharter, and
is now without government or polioe.

Bat it is due to Oglethorpe to say, that
for several years returning symptoms of
prosperity have been visible. The cotton
