KEAKOKI'VG FROM FALSE PEBJIIIEA
A writer in the Atlanta Sun of the
24th instant, over the signature of
“Wire Grass,” is correct in many of
his positions respecting the disposition
of the land scrip. We agree with
him that the fund for the endowment
of an Agricultural College is still un
der the control of the Legislature. By
the express conditions of the grant by
Congress, the Legislature of each State
are made the guardians of the trust,
and they cannot delegate their con
trol over it to Governor Smith, or to
the faculty of Franklin College, or to
anyone else. But “ Wire Grass” is
mistaken when he says the fund must
all be given to one institution. The
grant says “at least one College,”
which implies that it may be given to
more than one ; and in fact in some
States it has been divided ; for in
stance, in Massachusetts and Virginia,
and we believe in others. But the
main argument of “ Wire Grass” and
the Sun is predicated upon a false po
sition, viz: that it was imperative for
Gov. Smith to make some disposition
of the fund at that time or it would hare
been Inst. This we positively and em
phatically deny. The Athens junto
brseiged Gov. Smith about the last of
March, and the time would expire on
the 2d of July. So there was over
three months left for them to act in ;
within that time there is every proba
bility that Congress will extend the
time, and if they do not, the Governor
could convene the Legislature a tew
days before the time to which they
bad adjourned without additional ex
pense. So this plea of necessity of act
ing at that time has no foundation in
fact, and we charge directly that the
Athens junto pressed Gov. Smith to
decide then, for fear the time would
be extended, and the Legislature would
have the control of it, in which event
they had very little hope of success.
WHAT THE COCXTRT THINK* OF IT-
1 he Atlanta Constitution and Sun are
in the daily habit of publishing what
the city editors think of the donation
of the Agricultural Scrip to Franklin
College. As an offset we have collect
ed below a small portion ;>f the re
marks of that portion of the press
which reflects the feelings of the Ag
ricultural interest of the State, The
editors of the city papers know about
as m
ers and planters on this subject as the
Faculty of Franklin College do about
farming. The editors of the city news
papers are nearly ab graduates from
Franklin College and they reflect the
feelings and opinions of Athens. Be
low cur readers will see what the
farmers think. Let the members of
the Legislature take due notice and
govern themselves accordingly.
t rom the Mariet a Journal, 19th.]
The press ami :iie people are not backward in ex
ercising their •troedom of speech" in denouncing the
recent action of Go'.ernor Smith in firing the land
scrip to Franklin College.
A traveling agent states, “the intelligent people are
almost to a man atr.ir.st it,and wi I instruct their rep
resentatives to it vestig.-ite and undo the matter.”
The Dahlonega Signal expresses its unqualified dis
approbation.
The Middle Georgian sa7s :
While we approve of r, 11 the previous actions of
Governor Smith, we can not but disapprove of this.
The Griffin Star says :
The Legislature can overhaul this matter. Let eve
ry section speak out. The voice of the people Is
the voice of God.
The Daily News says:
Wrong is tcrong, and we denounce it because it is
w,ong.
The Sparta Times and Planter ably protests
against the action.
BE-ESTABI.INHMENT OF NI.ATEKV.
When the people of the South are
traduced by lying slanderers it is uot
amiss to appeal to historical record.
They are now accused of desiring to
re-enslave the negro—a falsehood that
coulu only originate from some source
as meau as the lie itself is vile.
The Lumpkin Telegraph says:
The Land Scrip has been placed under the jurisdic-
ionof the University. We shall expect to hear trom
our personal friends, Colonel McKinley and Gen. Phil
lips, who were warm advocates, the former for Mii-
ledgeville, the latter for Marietta.
The Gainesville Esgle says ;
Everyone knows, or ought to know, that, by tnrn
ingthe scrip over to the State UDivetsity, and making
the Agricultural Colh ge an appendage of the Univer
sity, just enough of theoretical Agriculture will be
taught to enable the Faculty to retain the fund, while
the great body of those the tund was designed to ben
efit— those who hold the plow handles—the wool hat-
boys— will be as good as excluded from all participa
tion in its benefits.
The Greensboro Herald says :
No one can mistakethe leading and the beneficent de
sign ot Congress in conferring this generous bounty
upon the States. The donation was intended to reach
out a helping hand to the laboring masses. To estab
lish an Industrial College side by side with the Stale
University, to be more or less subordinate to it, would
embarrass both ; that must have been a very superfi
cial observation that has not discovered that caile en
ters into all the pursuits and ramifications of human
society.
TheTalbottou Standard says:
Whether an Agricultural College, tacked on to a
purely literary institution can be made a success and
carry out the purposes and objects ot the donation, is
au experiment we await to be solved.
The Albany News says :
Unjust to the people, at variance with their express
ed wishes, and disadvantageous to the University.
HO, FOR CINCINNATI!
Every man who still hopes for the
salvation of the country and the regen
eration of Republican liberty on this
continent, must feel interested in the
Cincinnati Convention. It now bids
fair to be a great success. Any thing,
or,any man to defeat General Grant
say we. This may be the last time
the people of these United States will
have to help themselves. The man
who votes for Gen. Grant for our next
President, in our opinion, votes for a
President for life, and for a military
despotism. If Gen. Grant should be
re-elected for four years more, and
make as rapid strides towards despot
ism as he has for the last three years,
it will be too late for the people to
struggle for liberty; their chains will
already be riveted. Look at the con
dition of unfortunate South Carolina.
At the bidding of a petty military tv-
rant, with shoulder straps, a Lieuten
ant of the army, good peaceful law-
abiding men, are torn from their homes,
and on the information of some infa
mous negro whom he may have offend
ed, they are placed in a loathsome jail,
infested with contagion and death, and
there kept for months without being
allowed the formality of a trial, and
these things are of daily occurrence
under Grant’s tyranny. Was any
Eastern tyranny ever worse? God
speed the Cincinnati Convention il it
can prevent the re-election of General
Grant. We certainly can’t be worst
ed, and we may do much better.
We do not see how the Cincinnati
Convention can do any harm, either to
the country or to the Democratic par
ty. The democrats wilt hold their
own convention in July. Should the
Cincinnati Convention nominate a
man every way acceptab’e to them,
they may Dominate the same candi
dates ; if not they will nominate a
candidate of their own, and in one
compact line, from Maine to Texas,
charge home upon the disjointed and
conflicting hosts of the enemy. Some
men are fearful that August Belmont
is about to sell the Democratic party
to the enemy. This story was pro
bably started by the enemy to create
division in ©ur ranks. Belmont may
possibly sell himself, but neither he
nor any other man can transfer the
great Democratic party to the ene-

For the Federal Union.
The Presidential Campaign,
We never advocated the new de
parture; we have never advocated
passivism ; and we will never advo
cate principles that come to us in
sheep’s clothing—but in reality ema
nate from the vilest of all hellborn
thievery and corruptions.
We were ?n New York during the
campaign of 1S6S and knew that the
Demociatic party was sold by its then
leaders in that Presidential election.
Is the Democracy of to-day wiser than
it was in ’OS ? We shall see.
The Savannah News fired a centre
shot when it said “the bondholders
who fear (but falsely) the success of
the Democrats—the Rothschilds and
heir Agent—the great monopolies
which now enjoy an immunity to
plunder the people will all contribute
to the grand scheme” of deceiving
the democracy. The people of the
North are fed and wheedled by the
lies of bondholders, officeholders, and
thieves, into a belief that the people
of the Soulh are rebellious repudia-
tionists, and that calumnious lie in
connection with lying ku klux stories,
goes far to control the masses of the
North. This superlative lie that
Southerners are rebellious repudiatiou-
ists is the stronghold of the arch
fiends who are plotting the destruc
tion of the last vestiges of justice and
berty left in this land, whilst osten
sibly the maleficent beings are philan
thropists. Thievishness is the ruling
power of these besotted days, for pec
ulation is lauded and not condemned,
and everywhere the people are plun
dered blindly, believing their political
leaders to be truthful and honest, for
they will not separate the man from
the position.
It is time for the people of this
country, if they wish to escape the
horrors of political chaos, to look at
the men who proclaim themselves to
be their leaders and see if they are all
that they claim to be. The masses of
the people are too apt to be led away
by the show of position, and looking
at the office they forget the man, who
at the best has but human nature, and
that coupled with deprivity. Then
with thousands of officeholders who
hold their positions by virtue of his
authority and patronage, and are con
stantly sounding his praise, it is no
wonder that the people are misled and
deceived.
The democratic party has lain asleep
over the financial power of the “Rad
ical Centralists” controlled as it is by
plunderers and rogues, and the leaders
of the true constitutional democracy
while they fail to undeceive the people,
arc being deceived and betrayed themselves.
We who are not blinded by the lies
and usurpations of the Centralists, are
yet tricked by their spies in our midst,
and we should, without fail, destroy
the pretensions of those warring
against us.
Why do not the true constitutional
leading democrats assemble in some
one ot the Northern central towns,
and, undeceiving the people, select a
candidate worthy of support ?
What right has Belmont, or
Rothschild, to issue his pronouncia-
mento to the democratic party. We
have naught against Horatio Seymour,
but loud was the laugh of the Cen
tralists over his nomination in 1S6S,
and industriously they spread the news
over the North that he had been in
sane.
We say beware of the Cincinnati
Convention, and we say to all consti
tutional democrats and true lovers of
their country, shake off your apathy,
for it is the death of your country.
We are for action and the right of
constitutional government. Any pol
icy outside of this is bred from dan
ger and will end in disaster.
For God’ssake let every true lover
of 1 is country avoid this snare called
political inaction. t
Three things ought to be cultivated
—good books, good friends, and good
humor, the sunshine of the soul.
“ I apprehend that there is au immense difference
between those who hold slaves and such as introduce
them from Africa. The fi.st is not au evil of our own
making, and which the wisest heads and best hearts
have not as yet discovered any practicable plan to re
lieve ns of; but the other is a voluntary affair, with-
out the shadow of an excuse to palliate it, and as sin
cerely depieeated in one part of the Union as the oili
er. And it is beli?ved that for the greater part, per
haps nine-tent'is of the supposed American vessels en
gaged in this traffic, except those presumed to be
owned in Baltimore, belong to the non-siavebolding
States."
We find appended to that article re
marks made by Judge Jackson of Vir
ginia :
“ Judge Jackson, of the Western Circuit of Virginia,
in a late eltarge to the Grand Jury, said: ‘The poor
African is stimulated by them (those who carry on the
slave trade) to the perpetration of the blackest crimes,
in order that he may furnish fresh subjects for the in
satiable cupidity of his employes. The disgrace and
criminality of this traffic have not beer sufficient to
deter some of those claiming the protection of the
American flag and the rights of citizenship front en
gaging in it. I is, however, gratifying to believe
that the citizens of Virginia, where domestic slavery
is authorized, reg; rding its existence aj an evil which
they have not been able to devise the means of abol
ishing ; hold in proper abhorrence every effort to in
crease the great moral and politicat calamity ■, and
they have not been partakers of the crimes so often
imputed to citizens of other States where slavery does
not exist, and i- held in the greatest detestation. It is
your duty, nevertheless, to enquire, and diligently’en
quire, whether any such offenders are within this dis
trict.’ ’’
There we have what has always
been the spirit of the Southern people,
who feel that in the destruction of
slavery they have been relieved of a
burden ; but they do not feel under
any obligation to the thieves, plunder
ers and descendants of the vile negro
traders, who pharisaically thank God
that freeing the Southern slaves was
the result of their loud-mouthed sanc
timoniousness.
We rejoice at the freedom of those
who were once our slaves, but we de
ny to-day the “ God-given merit” of
establishing that freedom, claimed by
those who are but despotic assassins.
If the marauding and murderous ex
pedition of a parcel of thieves and
robbers has accidentally achieved a
good result, they need not think that
they will be credited with the deed,
and it is because the Southern people
can distinguish between true merit
and hell-born phariseeism, that such a
spite is made manifest by those who
are plundering them.
Those miserable marauding and ly
ing thieves have despoiled the South
ever since the war with a display of
sanctimony (while stealing) truly dis
gusting to all real lovers of liberty;
and all the time, while pretending to
have the welfare of the blacks at heart
they have endeavored to embitter
them against the whites, and in a
measure succeedingso far as the whites
being forced to defend themselves;
and then those miserable assassins of
liberty raise the cry of Ku Klux, and
desecrate the halls of justice.
So far from designing to re-establish
slavery the Southern people, oppose it,
and speaking for them and ourselves
we say that we desire to give and see
given to the negroes, for their im
provement, every privilege compati
ble with their circumstances.
We desire to see them, and will aid
them, to progress in.education as far
as their capacity will allow, and we
shall insist that all educational advan
tages be given them to which they
are legally entitled. We wish t® see
the black race developed as the black
race, and to accomplish that, we will
accord all to them that they can just
ly claim.
The maleficent swindlers having de
ceived the negroes, and misled a few
whites, created a discord that has en
abled them to reap an immense har
vest, and they now raise the cry that
“the Southeiners wish to re-establish
slavery,” hoping by that falsehood to
agitate the negroes and alarm the
Northern people, thus gaining another
four years of plunder.
There are true men in the Northern
States who are true lovers of their
country, and to them we will address
a few closing remarks that contain
a warning, potent to the wise.
The Southern people, under the
systematic attacks made upon their
labor system, and the taxes, in connec
tion with other ways in which they
are plundered, and have been ever
since the war, compelled in many sec
tions to fly from home to escape mili
tary persecutions, instituted by plun
derers, are rapidly becoming beggars—
aye, beggars; and instead of talking
about re-enslaving the negro, or repu
diating the national debt, one may
hear discussed a plan proposing the
formation of a large white man’s par
ty North and South, that proposes
the equal division of -all property,
bonds, money, lands, and all wealth.
The Southern people are beginning to
think that they had better meet it at
once, and not be bled to death gradu
ally by a slow species of confiscation.
There were those in the South ready
for that, when out and out confiscation
had its rampant pleaders in Washing
ton just after the war, and the thous
ands to support it are not, and were
not wanting in the North. And we
repeat, in spite of all doubt, there are
not wanting ambitious revolutionists
North or South, t,o lead and favor this
immense design, while the demon of
imperialism is gloating over the pros
pect of that coming storm.
The South has nothiug to lose by
such a struggle—poverty and poverty
only, stares her in the face. No hopes,
no bright future; numbers of her
wisest sons deemed but outcasts in the
land. Why, when such is her condi
tion should she care. Vainly has she
bowed to her captives; coward-like
they rain their blows the heavier.
People of the North, if you have in
you aught left of manhood, join the
true constitutional lovers of your coun
try, while 4>ere is yet time to save it.
For the Federal Union.
THE EVILS OF DEBT.
This load of debt is hard to bear,
And is a fruitful source of care.
And to a man of seus’tive heart
It bringeth agony and smart.
The anguish of it doth destroy
Man's energy, and health, and joy.
And causetli him to pine away,
In his distress trom day to day.
It turns his honor into shame.
And robbetli him of his good name;
It grinds the manhood of them all
That go in debt, both great and small.
It maketh rnan a very slave,
His earnings he can never save j
All that he earns is clearly lost
In paying usury and cost.
Yea! Oft unable to repair
His fortune, he in sad despair
Doth drown his sorrows in the bowl,
And damn his body and his soul!
Then guard against this subtle snare—
This load of debt—this load of care—
Pay down for everything you get,
And never—never go m debt.

The Eclectic Magazine of Foreign
Literature for May, is a most excellent
number of this superior monthly jour
nal. It contains a handsome engrav
ing, with short biographical sketch of
Hamilton Fish, the present Secretary
of State in Gen. Grant’s Cabinet.
Every article in the work is reada
ble and full of interesting information,
from the lengthy sketch of Scotland’s
Ayrshire poet, who sung so sweetly
and feelingly with a soul open to all
the glories of Nature, to the varieties
in Art and Science at its close.
Especially recommendable to South
ern readers is the trans-Atlantic view
of the character of Gen. R. E. Lee,
in which a full mead of praise is ren
dered to the exalted character of the
great commander.
A very curious article, entitled, “A
voyage to the Sun,” gives a minute
account of a journey taken Jan. 9,
1872, from LonJon to the source of
light. The journey was very r^pid
through thousands of wonderful con
stellations hitherto unrevealed in the
infinite complexity of the star-depths.
The majesty of silence reigning in
space, where mighty worlds, glittering
suns, flaming comets, and splendid
meteors, speed their unerring course in
the universe, was startling to the trav
eller, who terms it the black silence.
This silence became the roar of a thous
and storms as the sun was approached
revealing his amazing complex glory
of white light, with the Kalardescopic
corruscations of orange and gold,
changing ever into splendors too vivid
and glowing for human admiration to
render justice of description.
Whether this journey was taken
through the medium of telescopic or
spectorscopic power, or spiritualistic
agency the ingenious reader is left to
discover. The subject must be read
to be appreciated.
‘Modern manners’ embodies a just
criticism upon the progress visible in
thfe social fabric of Britain, and fully
applicable to our own development in
society.
We confess that we do not admire
the free and easy modesty of Yankee
land that is characterizing a few
Southern journals, and causing them,
when it is indulged in, to be unpleas
antly pert.
We have seen in some papers min
ute descriptions of the appearance
and dresses, Ac., of young ladies at
balls and parties, calling each one by
name. The latter being done, we sup
pose, to show how gallant the writer
is, knowing such a number of the fair
ones as he does.
We do not believe that the true
Southern girl approves of this kind of
conduct. Nor do we believe that true
ladies will be found to uphold it any
where. In the first place, to say the
least of it, it is indecorous; and in
the second place, it breeds an extrava
gance that none of our people can af
ford to stand ; for it is a natural con
sequence that all should wish to excel
in point of dress, when their appear
ance, Ac., will be publicly commented
upon through the papers. We are in
no hurry to adopt the depraved taste
of Yankee land, and we unhesitatingly
condemn the wanton thoughtlessness
of those who can go so far as to forget
the lessons taught them of Southern
propriety by their mothers.
We see marriages to be, announced
and commented upon weeks before the
day appointed for the ceremony, as
though some public show was to come
off’.
Surely there is time enough to pub
lish the news of a marriage after it
takes place, and the parties certainly
have enough sense in all cases to noti
fy their friends and the parson in time
tor it without newspapers volunteer
ing to do so for them.
These Yankee innovations are ex
ceedingly disgusting to all who respect
true gentility, and we hope to see this
Yankee way ot doing meet with the
contempt it so richiy deserves.

Who does not remember the time when spring
purgation was considered indispensable to sum
mer health f No matter for wry faces, the inev
itable salts and senna, rhubarb, or calomel and
jalap, most be administered. These “spring med
icines," the youngsters wete told, were to keep
them bale and hearty daring the snmmer. We all
know now that this was a falacy ; that new vigor,
not depletion, is what is required at the commence'
ment of the summer solstice. As a preparation
for the enervating effects of oppressive snmmer
weather, a course of Hostetler’s Stomach Bitters
is highly expedient' This famous vegetable pre
paration has three prominent propel ties: It ren
ovates, purifies, and regulates all the functions of
the body. It is composed exclusively of pure veg
etable productions, via : the essential principle of
Monongahela Rye, and the most efficacious tonic
and alterative roots, harks, snd gums known >o
medical uotauists. Hence, it is an absolutely safe
madfrine. and no tincture of the Pharmacopoeia
can compare with it either in parity, or in the va
riety of its objects, and its comprehensive results.
Happily for mankind, the theory that it was nec
essary to prostrate a patient in order to cure him,
is forever exploded, and the true philosophical
doctrine, that vigor is the great antagonist of dis
ease, has taken its place. Hostetler's Bitters is an
invigorant, and hence it is the proper medicine for
the feeble at this most trying season of the year.
Be aure that you obtain the genuine article, as
there are innumerable vile imitations in the mar

I.ifei What ia Ilf
In the hnman orgouism, force invariably ae
companies change, and is, in fact, the resalt of
change. The functional action of any organ or
portion of the system is possible only under the
condition of change. The blood continually
washes each organ—brain or muscle, gland or
nerve—with its life-giving flood, sweeping away
the dead, worn-out particles and replacing them
with new particles. Death thus starts side by side
with life ; and side by side, as neeespary conditions
the one to the other, they press forward to the
common goal of both. The notion that the vary-
rying functions of life are but the varying mani
festations and outworkings of a mysterious entity
known as the vital principle, ia now exploded.—
Those varying functions ate now viewed as the
simple effects ot intimate molecular changes in
the organs, just as the motions of the steam enr
gine are viewed as the effects of the expansion of
el astic vapor in the boiler and cylinder. Indeed
very probabiy, if a man had first met with steam-
engines in nature, he would have explained their
movements by supposing the existence of a vital
principle or something similar. Now Dr. Kisch's
Bitters is a preparation compounded in accor
dance with the above Uteiv discovered principles
It stimulates molecular charges. It also stimu
lates alimentation, and thus insures an abundant
supply of blood for the formation of new tissues to
take the room of those that molecular change has
displaced as useless. eow im.
The “Deg Days’* and their Danger.
At this season of the year, the blood is apt to
become impure; the appetite poor : the skin sal
low ; the body enfeebled : the system relaxed,
making it susceptible to attacks of Chills and Fe
ver, Rheumatism, eruptions of the skin and the
development of the effects of the injudicious use of
Calomel. All this trouble may be avoided by the
use of a few bottles of Dr. Tutt’s Sarsaparilla and
Queen’s Delight. It is harmless in its effects, but
a powerful enemy to disease Try it, and yen
will find it a friend in need.

The Atlanta San says tha stockholders of tha
Atlanta and Savannah Railroad, in session in that
city on Thursday, reorganized their Board of Di-
rectora by the election ot the following gentlemen:
J. H. Hammond, W. A. Huff, J. I) Pope, R. C.
Humber, Campbell Wallace, H. D. Capers.
The young man of the name of Conley, who
was nominated the other day by the Atlanta Rad
icals as their candidate for the Legislature from
Fatten county, declines the honor of being beaten.
The Democrats will nominate thair man to day,
and be will moat probably walk ovar tbe course,
Exploits of a One Armed Man —A corres
pondent of tLe Frcdrickshurg (Va.) Star writes
from Prince William county :
“One of my neighbors, Mr. George Williams is
a young Confederate soldier, who has lost an arm
near the shoulder, and yet can do more, work than
a majority of young men with two hands. I have
seen him, with tbe assistance ot a small boy, load
a wagon that four oxen could with difficulty draw.
He cuts hoop poles with one hand, and with tbe
assistance of bis teeth ties them into bundles as
rapidly and as well as others with both hands.—
He plo* s his land himself, and drives a two horse
wood wagon, loading it himself He is an honest,
brave and good citizen."
The Wild Geese do not regard Dr. Ayer’s
wisdom in migrating north—such immense num.
bers of them as are flying over us dow, while his
almanac says : “Bleak and blustering about this
time, with heavy snow ”—Cedar Rapids (Ia.)
Times, March 3.
We were too fast last week in eur item on the
conflict between Dr Ayer and the wild g ese. The
Doctor’s science beat their instinct this time. Not
for years have we had such a snow-storm as that
last Sunday. The snow lies three feet deep on a
level in Minnesota and two feet in Wisconsin,
while the storm has swept from tbe Atlantic to the
Rocky Mountains. Snow fell to various depths as
far south as Denver, Fort Union and Santa Fe.—
Learned as we believed Dr. Ayer in the arcana of
nature, and wonderful as we knew his medicines
to be, we were not prepared for so signal an in
stance of bis superiority, not only over the wise
men, bnt the wisest of animals whose instinct it
considered unfailing. We dnve np the peg, more
firmly than ever, ever onr hearth for Ayer’s Amer
ican Almanac.—Cedar Rapids Times, March 10.
Boston, April 27.—During the
heavy gale to night gigantic trees and
a portion of the wall and two towers

One of the,end towers had reached tbe

Nobody hurt.
A Tew Beautifying Agent —All Dentifrices had
their drawbacks, until the Salubrious Bark of the
Soap Tree was brought from the Chillian Valleys
to perfect the fragrant Sozodont, the most delight
ful article for the l6eth that a brush was ever dip
ped into.

Venus herselt would not have been beautiful if
her complexion had been bad. If beauty is skin
keep, it is necessary to secure and retain that part
of it; and ladies, instead of resorting to paints and
powders should remember that an impure,blotchy,
or sallow skin is the proof of feeble digestion, tor
pid liver, or vitiated blood, for all which Dr.
Walker s California Vinegar Bitters is a
safe, sure, and effectual remedy.
Barwctt s Cacoatue.—No oils, neither pomades

It anchors the hair firmiy in the scalp—gives it

glory” of both sexes, old and young.
Pratt s Astral Oil.—More accidents occur from
using unsafe oils, than from steambo ts and rail

ing or handling it. Oil House of Cbas. Pratt, es
