GEORGIA'S CREDIT.
Senator Kibber, who has he m in New
York for two mouths investigating the
Bond question, tells ns that Georgia's
reputation for being safe and sound, po
litically and pecuniarily, isowing to the
fact that tiie State is under control of
the Democratic party. Now this opin
ion from him, is not so much his opinion
as it is the sentiments of the Bankers
an l business men of New York, with
wimm lie Lias.ha 1 to dSnl in his osilmosL
war< researches after important facts:
!tvt -d who should know better than they ?
Miave they not been in positions where
,'tue finance; an i the (.oven,mental pe
-1 cuniary proceedings have been made
clear to them Ironi Bullock’s reign up
to now?
It was thought investigation, and ac
cusations of foul play against Bullock
and Blodgett and their blood-thirsty
crew that listened on Georgia's spoils
an ! ill-gotten pelt, during the rotten rad
ical domiuaucy, w.til all the spurious
bon Is cvc, would ruin the ere.lit of Geor
gia, and make her worse than a pauper
State.
Wo ask, so far as investigations have
gone, have they not rather tended to
strengthen the State, to build her up fi
nancially, an t !* establish a co hi lenco
for her that will last in the records of
history, an 1 be a bright pagein bet-pro
gressive life, i hat will live untarnished
ii her archives for all time? At our last
Legislature, numbers of our Icgisla'ors
were f i,'m/.y. and were on the fence, not
knowing which side it woul 1 be best to
fall on. They did not want to pay the
bogus boo Is, and they did not want
Georgia to declare herself unwilling to
pay the obligation she had ma le throng))
bad men.
We think ail such matter ; should be
1 inked squarely in the face, and all de
partures lrom C >.)s‘itotiou.il right and
j isticc shout I be condemned by the
strong arm of ri {hbotis r 'presentation.
• n i Wry aloud and spare no*.should be
the insignia upon every standard in the
Idcmo'cnitii' ranks, and “be jest and
fear not" shoal 1 be the motto embla
zoned on every mast-hen l of ships of
State.
Spare What? Spare n> in udt or on
crcaclanent upon the State's honor or
financial reputation ; spare no man, or
men. who for self-agraudixement will
Abus ■ the high privileges an 1 trusts re
posed in them by and honest and im
suspe ■ting people. U neart'i fraud, re
pudiate debts if necessary that for par
t sail purposes, an i priva'e speculation
hive been heaped upon helpless tax
payers repeal laws that are in juxtapo
sition to the constitution, and all legal
malformations and fright,fill deformities
of a people's rights under the misno
mer of law. and if your constitill ion is a
mockery of the chart of a free and un
fettered people. why have a Convention
and revise it?
Do all this if necessary, and do it
feur(esnf.ji with f.n rye to the tranquility
and good of your State Government,
and it will redound to the firm estalv-
Lshment of fixed principles that will
make our reputation and credit contin
ually more stable.

me some nook or corner in tlio News it
KMtMKi; lor a few dots I propose to pen
you u short epistle in relation to Uetlia
uy, its doings, find surroundings.
It is not claim:: l that New Bethany
is the can. 1e of tiie world, the cert,re of
the State. 1 or oven the centre of .Toiler
son Co M l'Ut it is the centre of n circle of
warm hearie i. whole-son! friends, win.
unite 1 as a unit., ate exerting all their
energies and inlhieneo to make it a
place of note, and the centre of a lively
trade.
It now numbers four handsome stores,
anti another shortly in prospect— Mr.
McLeond. from Savannah, making the
fourth. The others are S. L. 1 Vtorson,
Beddiugikdd & Murpyey and S. It.
Strauss, all live men and wide awake to
the interest of Bethany in general, and
their own interest in prtienlar.
Several new buildings are going up
an l ihe .sound of the ax. saw an I ham
me"greet the car from morning till
night,.
It, is said that, "straws show which
way the wind blows.” Already the in
dications are that New Bethany is soon
to become a village of no mean preten
tions.
As some evidence of the warm friend
ship referred to 1 must give you and in
cidcnt. Monday the 1 lthin4. wrath.:
r:turn of the 80th birthday of Dr. Ken
dall. which by some means, some of his
neighbors bad found out, and determin
ed to give a pleasant surpDe. j | fl was
in Louisville that day, and did not get
lion\e'till so®* 1 time in the night, and
, <ju 'surprised sure enough to iiud Lis
.Tj. • * *
pardor crowded with smiling visitors?
W arm and hearty greetings and a cor
dial welcome quickly followed, when
music was called for. The sweet tones
o 'the piano aft 1 violin soon began to
make the heels of all the young, and
gome of the older ones tingle, and im
mediately or sooner, all were on their
pegs ready for a hop. Dancing—by
that name—not being allowed, it was
introduced under another name, “steal
ing partners,” ami all wentoir merry as
a marriage bell. The old Doctor and
his excellent lady enjoyed the amuse
ment, ami seemed as much delighted as
their guests. But what was his sur
prise when the music stopped, and each
guest advanced and politely tendered
him a handsome present! Yes a hand
some present.
What followed was something else.
Mr. li, remembering the occasion,had
not been unmindful of the duty of a
goo 1 wife in making preparation for a
goo 1 supper for her lege 1 >rd. Mr. Mo
Leou 1 and his excellent ladg (wiio by
the way, was the mover and getter up
of the whole proceeding) had brought no
less than four full grown cakes and a
whole family of knick-knacks and delica
cies, which together with Mrs. It's outfit,
and a line jar of bran iy peaches, a table
was set out fine enough for a wedding
After enjoying the refreshment all re
turned to the parlor arid passe l off the
time in social chit chat till the clock
st ruck 11 when when the festive occasion
closed with a friendly good night, and all
retired to their respective homes, leaving
the Doctor to dream of corn shellers,
buckskin gauntlets, suspenders, towels,
pocket hanskerchiefs, &0., &c., &c.

No man or family should tie without a

and it is the best of all educators. Be
sides this a knitted fact, there are now
additional reasons for subscribing to a

the last half century furnished a greater
combination of important an 1 Thrilling

Ilob Toombs made a speech in Wash

which he declared himself a hard-money
man, as he always had been. We believe
it is generally admitted that Robert is
a hard case, with or without the money.
A ilapi-y SecoNciuA’noxv—Under
this head the Atlanta correspondent of
the Chronicle <s• Sentinel writes a3 fol
lows :
It gives me plfeasute to announce to
your readers that thorough and cordial
friendship has been restored between
cx-Governor Ilerseliel V. Johnson and
Governor Smith, This gratifying result
was attained through the instrumentali
ty of mutual friends of botli the gentle
men who had been at varience. To the
credit of both when approached upon
the subject, they were found to be more
than willing to terminate "the late un
pleasantness,” and blot out all that had
ever passed between them that was dis
agreeable. Neither hesitated or exacted
of tilts other any conditions, but each
agreed to drop tiie matter forever and
remember tiieir differences no more.
Those who interested themselves to
bring about this result did so from the
purest motives, having a very warm per
sonal friendship for both the distinguish
ed gentlemen, and anxiously desiring
to sec them at peace, speak in terms of
high commendation of tiie spirit mani
fested by each one, and of the readiness
of which each.seceded to a just and rea
sonable proposition. This good work
was effected some months ago but it lias
not heretofore been made known to tiie
public through the press or otherwise.

CLIPPINGS.
Rev. George C, Smith, pastor of the
Methodist church at Barnesville, is pre
paring a history of Methodism in Geor
gia.
Little Johnny Summers, aged 119,
has just died in Morgan county, Indi
ana. His father was cutoff in the flow
er of his 119th summer.
Hampton Lockett, negro, died in Up
son county last week, lie was over one
hundred years old, but picked fifty
pounds of cotton on the day of his
death.
At a low estimate, Georgia pays §SOO,
000 annually for imported wagons,
which could lie more cheaply made at
home, and this large sum saved to iicr
people.
Hon. Alexander 11. Stephens is an
nounced as a lecturer in one of the iv
ceum couises in Chicago, for which lie
is to receive §I,OOO.
Tiie Chattanooga Commercial frank
ly says, “nearly all the really fine wheat
handled here this season lias been
drawn from North Alabama and North
Georgia. There is. of course a grout
deal of good wheat in the river valley,
but those who have it seem to think that
there's millions to be mi le by holding
it.
Meat has advanced rapidly within
tiie past few days. It is not due to scar
city. but to the speculative spirit pre
vailing among the capitalist ofthe north
and \Y est. At tiie same time cotton is
going down, and Southern farmers are
compelled to buy meat which they could
better have raised at home.
The President does not impress any
one very much by his public speeches,
but when he bawls at his nigger boy,
“Sam, fetch me that corkscrew,” his
words are not without effect.
The Dalton Enterprise very truthful
ly says; Farewell to the pomp and
glory of any town that sutlers its local
press to die out because the people, the
merchants, aud the property holders,
withhold froinitthoir support.
The United States Senate in Decem
ber will consist of forty-three republi
cans, twenty-nine democrats, and two
independents. The house of represen
tatives stands, 171 democrats. 202 re
publicans, fi independents and G to be
elected in Mississippi.
The recent advance in bacon is thus
very sensibly referred toby the Colum
bus Enquirer:
The Northern Granger asks a high
price for his meat and gets it; the
Southern one desires the same for his
cotton and utterly fails, and declining to
raise hisown meat, which lie can easilv
iio, pays the Western brother his prices.
Too Muni Instiwt—The instinct
of Newfoundland dogs to save a drown
ing person has been somewhat painfully
tested by an unlucky frenchman, lie
was walking in the country with a
friend, who possessed a magnificent
Newfoundland, and incautiously ques
tioned the truth of the animal's sagaci
ty. The dog’s master, vexed at the
slurs cast on his favorite, gave his
friend a push and knocked hint into a
shallow river. “Turk” immediately
sprang in, and siezing one of the im
mersed man's coat tail's, commence l to
switn lor land. Unfortunately another
Newfoundland, trotting along by the
other side of the river, saw the affair,
and also came to the rescue. Dog No.
2 seized the othpr tail of the coat and
wished to swim back to his master;
•• I'urk’ held fast and struggled for his
side, anti the owner of the coat cried in
vain for help. At last the coat gave
way, and each Newfoundland swam
proudly home with a piece of cloth in
liis mouth, so that “Turk's” master was
obliged to plunge in himself to save his
friend. —London Graphic.
