&)t ©ojisfjtaimijdtst AUGUSTA, O-A.; Sunday Morning, September 12, 1875. CURRENT TOPICS. Representative Alabamians. There is beauty In the very name, Ala bama ! And its meaning is heavenly. An Indian Legand tells us that a Georgia tribe, centuries upon centuries ago, were driven from their homes by a more power ful one, that after two-thirds of their num ber were slaughtered, the remnant crossed the Chattahoochee and exclaimed, Ala bama, HEBE WE BEST! The people there have reason now to pro nounce that name as did the aborigines. For nearly ten years they have been under worse than Indian government. A change has come. The State Constitutional Con vention now in session at Montgomery is composed of old Alabama—the purest and the best—the sort of men we used to hear about before the war. The carpet-baggers and their orang-outang allies rolled the State back a quarter of a century, and it is the duty of these men to now start it upon the ascending scale. We do not doubt that they will do so. Forced to be silent spec tators of a carnival of ignorance and knavery for ten years, they never lost their love for their native land, never despaired for a moment, never doubted that the time would come when the infernal orgie would end, that the Goths and Vandals would be expelled from their temples. A Montgomery correspondent of the Mo bile Register writes corncerning the mem bers of the Convention: “It was a notlcable fact that a large majority of the members used glasses in signing their names. There is not a member under thirty years of age, and but three or four under forty. Mr Greene, of Conecuh, is probably the oldest member in the body, he being eighty-six years of age. Mr. Bbown, of Jackson, is probably the youngest, he being a few months over thirty years old. There were but few members who failed to answer to the call.” The Remarkable Keely. Keely. <<f motor fame, looms up again In the letter of a correspondent of the Now York World, describing a visit to the re remarkable man and the appearance of his workshop. It was strewn with broken models and pieces of machinery twisted as though a Titan had played with them. Be ing asked what force curled up iron in this way, Keely recited the familiar phrases, “ latent power in water,” “ multiplication of force, ” “ generation of vapor ’’—leaving the questioner exactly as wise as he started. 'I he chiefly interesting part of the letter is a passage containing some bits of de scription not previously made public.— Kf.ely is 45 years old. From boyhood he has had an affinity for mechanics. At 12 he made a steam engine; at 14 he made another; then he became a clerk In a drug store, then a locomotive engineer, and then a gymnast. He has been blown into the water from a steamboat, has made two balloon ascensions, lived out West in Minnesota, been a rover, a troubadour, a restless seeker after something new and strange. With his friends he displays his spirits like a fawn. He will toss a cigar to the ceiling and catch the right end in his teeth, fling across the yard a weight that would break the backs of three ordinary men, vault a fence, create a devil In his workshop, and tranquilly toy with him while confuting and amazing with an iron logic the opinions of a gray-headed engi neer who has dropped in to make fun of the motor. He is, in fact, a queer fellow. He may be the greatest discoverer or the greatest crackbraln of the time. How to Break Cotton Gamblers. We are permitted to publish the follow ing letter to Gen. Colquitt. It is from a gentleman of recognized sagacity and in telligence—a lawyer and a planter. His suggestions are wise, timely and patriotic, and the caution given should be heeded by our plantersl Atlanta Grange. New Yobk, September 3, 1875. Peab General—l have for the past few days been, off and on, a spectator at the Cotton Exchange in this city. The result of my observation is, that I am satisfied that It is in the power of the farmers of Georgia, Alabama and Mississippi to de stroy a gigantic fraud on their interests. The amount of actual cotton on hand is un usually small, but these gamblers, expect ing that the farmers will *rush their cotton in as they did last year, are selling futures nearly one cent per pound below what the actual cotton itself will bring on the market Now, If your Grange organization is worth anything, act on this at once, and pre vent the planters from bringing to mar ket only such cotton as they are compelled to bring. The receipts in Geoi’gia, Alabama and Mississippi, if moderately small for even the next ten days, will smash to atoms one-half the cotton gamblers of New York, and cause cotton to advance from one to two cents per pound. Please excuse this letter; but trusting that you will act upon it, I am yours sin cerely, * * * Touching Off a Mammiferous Battery. The Louisville Courier-Journal says his head was about the shape and size of a Bul lit county watermelon, and he was so black that charcoal would make a light mark on liim. The goat was asleep, leaning against the side of a house. The darkey was smok ing a decayed cigar. He espied the goat, looked at the lit end of his cigar, grinned, then at the tail of the goat, “grinned loud er,” locked all around to see that nobody was looking, and touched the lit end of the cigar to the tail end of that goat. The goat turned a hard spring, and ihe negro opened his big mouth to laugh, but the goat butted him so quick between his chin and his breeches pockets that his jaws came together making a noise louder than the report of a gun. The negro’s hat, boots and cigar lay in a pile, ten feet off, while his body was curled up like a horseshoe in the mouth of a sower opening. When he “came to” he looked around at each one in the crowd, and dis persed the crowd by saying, “Will some ob 'you gemmen’ shoot me wld a ipistol ? A niggr dat’s as big a fool as I is ain't got no business libin’ no how.” Gordon on the National Banking Bystem, Let not the South and West be deluded with the hope of cheap interest as long as the present national bank system lasts, however free it may be made. As long as it costs slls in greenbacks to buy a bond upon which only S9O Is Issued in national bank currency, it is self-evident that the sections which must purchase the bonds will only lessen their lonable capital by such Investments. A large portion of these bonds are the property of European capitalists, and the bulk of those not so owned is held in New York, Boston and Philadelphia, not in States like Illinois, Indiana, Georgia and Mississippi, mid, therefore, these capitalists in the moneyed centres of the East would have the lion’s share of such a system of free banking. The policy proposed will be, to gome degree, incidentally beneficial to other sections; but the Eist will still control the nation's currency under thae system, and any general effort to purchase the bonds bv other sections would only advance their l,ric and, of course, the cost of the circula tion is put thereon. There is but ona love to which we are never inconstant, and that is one’s love of one’s self. The man who is hard up, and tells you that he “will do anything, will do potting. GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS. The Atlanta Water Works were finaily tested yesterday. We can gratulate cur sister city. Her people certainly have an inestimable blessing. The wonder is they have not had this indispensable necessity long, long ago. J. Cardinal Harris: Two women in At lanta wanted to sell their babies for twen ty dollars a piece in order to keep from starving. Ana yet we are warned, Sunday after Sunday, that we should contribute shinplasters and re 1 flannels to the lepers of Polynes’a. Atlanta ilerald: Col. Brown showed us a telegram from Washington, which was received hero at 5:15 p. m„ whichsta.es that Andrew J. Sloan will be appointed United States District Attorney for Geor gia. This makes it a sure fact that Col. Far row will be removed. It is probable that the change will not take place until after ihe present sitting of the United States C'our;, for the Northern District of Georgia. Rome CommTcial; The crown worn by Miss Hattie Smith, in the Cantata of “Esther, the Beautiful Queen,” on Tuesday night, and will be worn by her to-night, is made on the pattern of the English crown, with the exception that a golden star is substituted in the place of the cross at .he top. It is the handiwork of Joseph E. Veal, Jr., and reflects great credit upon his line taste. It is studded with diamonds, emeralds, amethysts and sapphire, and ex ceedingly brilliant in every respect. The value of the crown at the lowest estimate is placed at $1,500. Griffin News: A short time ago, a congre gation was assembled in a church in one of our largo cities. A collection was taken up for some purpose and a Mr. A., w ien the hat reached him, put in his customary plea of poverty, although he was worth more than a great many who had contribu ted liberally. At the close of the service mourners were called up, and after prayer the hymn, “I’m glad salvations free" was sang by the congregation, and Mr. A. entered into it with unusual zest. A gen tlemau occupying a seat just in the rear of him and who, by the way,always contributes his part to every enterprise of the chu 'ch, leaned forward and whispered into A’s ear, “I think that hymn expresses fully your views in regard to salvation from a fie un cial stand point.” LaGrange Reporter : On Wednesday night a fire originated in the kitchen on Dr. Long’s premises, and the flames had so far advanced when discovered that the house, which was only fifteen or twenty feet off and attached by a covered pass-way, was soon ablaze. Everything was saved from the house except a part of the Doctor’s library, and even most of the doors and windows. It was a large house, containing seven rooms and situated on Church street. There was insurance to the amount of $2,100 on the house and s6oo* on the furni ture. The loss on the house is not covered and the furniture is greatly damaged. Two outhouses, exclusive of the kitchen, were burned, and th. 6 stable almost torn down. * * A friend lu Heard county writes us to call for the immediate completion of the Air-Line Road. We suppose ho means the North and South Road. This we would giadly do, if it would avail anything; but the calling would be in vain. The people are not now able to complete that road, and will not be for years to come. The only hope is that some capitalist or corporation with plenty of funds, will buy it and com plete it. Albany News: One night last week a planter named Tillery, residing in the west ern part of Dougherty, discovered one of his employes walking off with a bag of cot ton, and put about fifty squirrel shot into his carcass. The negro was pretty badly hurt, and Dr. Strother was called to his as sistance. His wounds wero dressed, and he was soon out of danger, though many of the shot could not be extracted. This shooting exasperated the negroes on the place, and many foolish threats were rumored. The brother of the fellow who was shot cursed Mr. Tillery, it is said, and told him: “ Damn you, l’li kill you yet.” So matters stood till Monday Dight last, when Mr. Tillery was shot while lying on his couch, after retiring- for the night. He was shot with No. 6 shot, and saved only by the banister railing of the porch, which was struck by the dis charge and turned the force of the load. Many shot strueh Mr. TANARUS., however, and he was painfully injured. Mr. Sheriff Mayo at once summoned a posse of six men and galloped out to the scene of trouble. As soon as they were discovered, the negroes stampeded for a neighboring swamp, bat were pursued and captured without the firing of a shot, or the least personal in jury to anyone of them. Fourteen of them were then arrested, and late Tuesday evening lodged In our jail. They will have a fair and impartial hearing to-day. Mr. Z. L. White, the staff correspondent of the New York Tribune, thus describes the closing scenes of the recent trial of Cordy Harris at Sandersvllle: “Face to face sat the prisoner and the Judge; the faint light that fell upon the counter anco of the latter brought out in strong relief the striking features of his face, and gave such a revelation of his character as fullv explained the wonderful influence which he exerts over the people of this entire section of the State. His very r. 'sence is re markably dignified and impressive. Mr. Sumner once told me that, as a rule, to attain greatness a man must bo on good terms with his stomach at the same time that he exercises a manly control over his appetites. Judge Herschel V. Johnson, unless his appearance belies him, possesses both of these prerequisites of greatness.— His portly form bespeaks the lover of good living, while the sharpness of his eye and the quickness of his perception are ov iden ces of his temperate habits. The sec et of his influence, it seems to me, lies in the complete control which he has over him self. Naturally a man of strong feelings, and, I should suppose, of deeply-rooted prejudices, he rises completely above them, and administers justice that ie impartially blind to everything but the law and the evi ence. Governing him self, he attains the power of govering others. I have said that this trial bis re flected honor, Doth upon the State and upon those who participated in it. It has proven that a negro can and will be justly dealt with in the courts of Middle Geargia, even In the midst of excitement. Of the strict impartiality of Judge Johnson I have al ready spoken, but it is ouly fair to counsel on both sides to say that they followed the good examples set them by the tench. Attorney General Hammond was the lead ing counsel for the State, this being only the second time that he has been ordered away from Atlanta by the Governor to try a case. His whole policy seemed rather to be to get at the truth than to obtain a conviction, aad in his argument to the jury he reminded them that the dignity of the State did not require the shedding of the blood of any of its citi zens, >nd that the dignity of the State would be injured more by the conviction of an in nocent man than by the acquittal of a guilty one. He then selected the few important points in the testimony and presented them to the jury with a fairness that would have done honor to a Judge cm the bench. My Vanished Past. I will write on the tomb of my vanished past This is the “nevermore;” Here lies the sunshine too bright to last, This was the golden shore. This was the land of the poet’s song, This was the artist’s dream; Here were the flowers love dwelt ameng, Hero was life’s fairest gleam; This was a heaven come down below. And in it was left God’s smile; Yet now must the green grass over it grow, It lived such a little while— Such a little while, like an island bright, That has risen far out at sea, Which on some morrow we find the right Has changed to a memory. A memory mine, one that sadly thrills; And ofttimes I wearily pray That it may again, if it be God’s will, Gome back to my life some day. But it cannot come. Oh, my dead, dead past! You are silent forever and still; But the sunset glories that fade so fast Shall arise o’er the top of the hill; And I’ll touch the stone with a gentle hand, And train o’er it flowors fair; For I think*, when 1 wake In that other land, Perhaps youjwil^mertjTmthere. One Result of the Beecher Devel opments.—A correspondent from Mc- Geary District writes us of an incident which recently occurred at a wadding at that place. After the solemnization of the nuptial ceremony the clergyman, in accordance with a time-honored cus tom, proceeded to impress upon the cheek of the blushing bride a chaste, clerical salute, when the bridegroom suddenly thrust his newly-wedded wife aside and assumed a belligerent atti tude toward the astounded gospel ex pounder. For a time the utmost con fusion prevailed, but it was finally ex plained to the indignant groom that the kiss was not of the paroxysmal kind, but a strictly salute, when he became pacified. —[Eureka (Cal.)
