(tymUium iicportcr. ]| M. McINTOSH, - - Editor. THURSDAY, DECEMBER 23,1875 Conohkss adjourned last Monday for holidays, to meet again on the sth of January. Of the 17G members of the present House of Representatives, only 122 of them are lawyers. This, says an ex change, is good nows for the bar in the basement. Major L. C. Brayan, editor-in-chief and proprietor of the Thomasvillu EnterpiHae, has retired from that jour nal, having sold to Messrs C. P. Han sel 1 and W. E. Davies, who will con duct the paper in future. The son of Senator Gordon basset the marvelous example of declining a twenty-one hundred dollar office ten dered him bv the doorkeeper of the house. Put him in a museum. — Rtch muud Dispatch. Rome Jivhitin: Wo saw a few days j ago a family returning from Texas to j their old home—glorious old Geor gia. They left Polk county to go to ! Texas, then worth several thousands; they left Texas after five years sufrer- J ing and hard work, with barely enough money to get them back to j Polk. Take her up one side and down ' the other Georgia can’t be beat. E. M. Randall, Chief Justice of! Florida, is under a cloud almost as heavy as that which hangs over a no torious judge in this city. Randall is an importation from Wisconsin, and a very inferior lawyer. While a case involving the validity of a large issue of railroad bonds was pending before him, Randall sold to a party interest ed in the suit a piece of property worth $2,500 for $7,500. The accom modating purchaser won the case. — N. Y. Sun Three nominations for president j have lately been made. I. Boss Grant j by Bishop Haven, on the Auti-Catho- j lie platform; 11. George H. Pendle ton, by Gen. Gartrell, at Atlanta, platform not laid down; 111. John B. Henderson, by Carl Scliurz, on the anti-White House ring platform. Meantime Sam Bowles keeps flying the banner of Charles Francis Adams the perpetual candidate.— N. Y. Sun. Mr. O’Connor was surprised when he learned the other day that the newspapers were giving daily bulle tins of his condition. Evidently he does not appreciate the degree of ad miration and regard in which he is held by men of till parties and relig ions in the community who arc watch ing hopefully every day’s change in his symptoms. He gave them the greatest encouragement himself on Monday', for their expectations went up with a bound when they learned that parts of the President’s message had been read to him and that he was still improving. There could scarcely have been a more cheering sign. The Now York Herald contrasts the action of the members who are scram bling for a share of the appointments in the house with the patriotism of Senator Gordon, as discloeed below: His son, who is studying law, wish ed to relieve his father from the finan cial embarrasment of supporting him during his studies, and lie secured one of the best positions in the gift of the door keeper. Senator Gordon, who believes that nepotism is the curse of our government, promptly informed his son that he must not ac cept the office, and made him send a letter to Mr. Fitzhugli thanking him for liis friendship and his offer, hut positively declining any office what ever. What is more remarkable about this i3 the fact that Senator Gordon who was ono of the most act ive and influential advocates Mr. Fitz liugh had in canvassing for the posi tion, is not rich, and tho salary tend ered young Gordon would have been great assistance to him. But, unlike the majority of tlie so-called great men of this country, tho father refus ed to countenance liis son’s aspira tions for office, even for his own per sonal benefit. Brood ing Fish on the Plantation. 11l May, 1872, I put four trout, about six inches long, and ten blue bream, pomewhat smaller than a man’s hand, in a natural pond on my planta tion. Afterwards about a dozen sand perch and silver fish were added to the stock, and no further attention given it. The pond was of the kind so fre quently met with in the middle coun try—-a shallow basin, depended upon rain for its supply of water, and hav ing no outlet iuto a running stream. In winter it covers some thirty acres, and is four or live feet in the centre; in summer it covers an area of two-thirds less, and is usually two or three feet in tlie centre. In the winter it is a clean sheet of water; in the summer there is considerable growth of water grasses, with clear areas. This summer tho pond is full of fish, and there have been taken from it trout fourteen and sixteen inches long, and bream ns large as they usually grow. Tho fish are fat and well flavored. Rural Carolinian. I Grange Head quarters. The people of Louisville have pro loured the location of the headquarters j of the wide-spread order in their city; i but they do not feel secure of their i prize because tho national grange us j j such has no pecuniary interest in j their soil. A scheme lias therefore! been devised, ostensibly with Seereta- I ! ry Kelly at its head, to build a tnag -1 nifieent temple for grange uses in | Louisville with money, not from the i city that would be chiefly benefittod, but from the grangers who are seat- I tcred from Oregon to Florida, very j ! few of whom would he apt to behold 1 tho proposed edifice in all its glory. The building of a temple pre-snp ■ poses that tho headquarters will per ! manenlly remain in Louisville. 'This! may bo so, but it is not certain enough, iu our opinion, to induce grangers far and wide to contribute towards a building that Louisville should b'nilfl for them it's a iecora- [ pense for tho bensfiis present and fu ture that tho headquarters of the or der would confer. The plan is briefly this; The 700,- 000 grangers in the Union are ex pected to givo one dollar each to wards the temple. In return they ! will receive a gorgeous certificate of j stock, “which are already printed,” constituting tho donor a member of | “The degree of tho Golden Sheaf.” j I As fast ns the money is collected it will lie placed in a bank, where it will be | allowed to remain until it amounts to i ' a thousand dollars, when it will bo in-1 vested in government bonds. The! i same process will he repeated until | enough money has accumulated to purchase the land upon which to | erect the building. Then the process ! of collecting, depositing, will again he 1 ; gone through with until sufficient funds are secured to put up the bnild i big. _ _ | It will be observed that Louisville does not even propose to give a lot for the building; ami yet the scheme | looks to the erection of a building that would be an ornament to the city and ' a decided addition to its attractions. For tlie great hull in this temple is to Ibe arrange,d not only for the confer i ring of degrees, but for tho use of theatrical companies. Into her wards, the grangers are invited to build, for ■ the accommodation of Louisville, a play bouse that shall outshine those iof the surrounding cities. A charter i has been procured, directors elected, and everything prepared for the rc j ception of the dollar capitation tax. j j —Atlanta Condintion. TWehhia. j Fatal Effects of Fork Eating iu futli niia. Indianapolis, Ind., Dec. 17 —Dr. Pottyjoiu, having a medical practice ! near Westfield, on tho borders of Hamilton county, some ten mile north ! of Indianapolis, day before yesterday i brought Dr. Fletcher, for microscopi cal examination, a piece of pork tou i derloin, and some portion of human I muscle, which he believed to be infest- j led with trincliimc. It was learned from him that a family named Beale ; ate freely of pork tenderloin, and! soon after the entire family had bc- I come affected, some furiously, and I one, a little girl, fatally, with symp ; toms which lie afterwards attributed to the presence of trichinae. After the death of the little girl, he secured j a portion of the gastricnemius mus cle, also a portion of the tenderloin, and the specimens were submitted to I a close microscopical examination by i both Doctors Fletcher and Chambers. Iu a piece of muscle the size of a pin : head, Doctor Fletcher found twenty of the little vermins, of mature growth, | and stiil showing signs of active life, j As yet only the little girl has died, but others of tho family arc danger ously ill. The Ilawkinsville Dispatch relates i the following horrible occurrence: A most awful catastrophe occurred on Wednesday night of last week, in Dooly county, near the line of Worth. | The unfortunate victim was Elder ' Samuel Wright Story, a Primitive i Baptist, very highly esteemed. Mr. Story had been to mill on Swift creek, j and was returning home late in the I | evening. He stopped to warm him self in front of tho house of Mr. Ste | veils, on tho roadside, where an old I stump of a tree had been fired and had | burned into a hole. None of Stevens’ family went out where he was or : paid any attention to his beiug there. They only noticed that cart remained there for an unusual length of time for a person merely to warm. About j ten o’clock at night they observed \ that his curt was still on the roadside, 1 and finally concluded to go and see if j J anything was the matter. Qu am-I ving at the stump hole a most horri- j I hie sight was before them. The 1 j head and shoulders of Mr. Story’s i body wore lying in tho hole and had I ! burned to a crisp. It seemed as if lie ! had fallen into the burning hole j I headforemost. Whether he struck his foot against some obstacle and fell, or whether lie had been prostra j ted from a fit, is unknown. In either j case, he was unable to raise himself i out of the hole, and death, in its most• terrible form, put an end to bis strug- j I Sl ° S ' riie New Order ofTliiiigs. (Special Dispatch to tho World.) Washington, December 13— The J new order of tilings was well illustra- j ted to-day. Nepotism is no longer! the rule. A son of Senator Gordon, of j Georgia, who lmd boon tendered and } | accepted a profitable position under I the House, promptly resigned it be- i cause his father had not requested and did not approve the appointment. It has been quite the custom among Republican Senators to secure tip- ! pointmentu for their sons as clerks to | committees. Nor is there any truth ! .in the report that Speaker Kerr has I appointed his o.vn son as private I secretary, (lie salary of which is paid ! l'.v Congress, or that he intends to! I appoint him. I A Strange Wedding Fee. A clergyman who was formerly lo cated iu this city, but is now iu New York, married a little over a year ago, a couple who at once started for Eu rope and have recently returned. The bridegroom was a gentlemen of wealth, and before ho presented himself be fore the bridal alter lie placed a SIOO greenback in his vest pocket to give tlie parson for tho marriage fee, and did pay it to him as ho supposed. While crossing the ocean liu discover ed, greatly to his astonishment the hill in the pocket where lie placed it, and could only account for its pres ence there only on the theory that he must have had another bill of a differ ent denomination which ho had do nated to the clergyman by mistake. On getting back to this country bo determined to solvo the mystery and waited upon the reverend gentleman, Who did not recognize him, and in quired if on a certain date lie did not marry a certain couple. Tho clergy man remembered tlie occasion perfect ly. “I know lam about to ask an impertinent question,” said the visi tor, “but I should like to be informed wliat fee you received for performing the ceremony ?” The clergyman was not prepared to make tlie disclosure, naturally being astonished that liis interviewer should ask shell a question, but upon explanation being made that the gentlemen himself, whom he then recognized, was the one lie had mar ried, lie said that he would, of course, gratify him, since he was so anxious to know “I received,” he then wont on to say, “a very small quantity of fine cut chewing tobacco, folded in a very small piece of paper.” That was enough; the only thing remaining to be done was to apologize, laugh heartily, shake hands, and make the SIOO deposit good. School Mmois Husbands.-—Michael C. Kerr, tlie Speaker, was born in Pennsylvania, on a farm, near Titus ville, on which farm “ile” was first struck. While a student at the Erie Academy, he fell in love with a school mistress, and when ho reached the ripe age of eighteen he married her, and soon after took Horace Greeley’s advice, and “went West,” and became a Hoosier by adoption. His marriage was secret, and after having been West two years, he returned and took his bride to his Hoosier home. Mean while she had fallen out of a window and received injuries which marred her beautiful face, but Mike didn’t care a darn, and they have boon hap py as a pair of turtle doves ever since. Mr. Blaine, of Maine, tho Into .Speak er of the House, is also a Pennsylva nian by birth, having been born in Washington county. He too, mar ried a school-mistress—a Yankee, girl —who induced liim to remove to her Eastern home, where he lias become a great man. It is a strange coinci dence Unit Kerr, the husband of a school-marm, succeeds Blaine, the husband of another school-marm. Telegraphic News. CONDENSED FOR THE QUIT MAN HE POUTER. CARPET-BAGGER VERSUS CARPET-BAGGER. Charleston, December 20.—The News and Courier this morning prints an interview with Governor Chamber lain on the subject of the election of ex-Govcrnor Closes and Whipper, col ored, ns Judges of tbs most impor tant circuits in the State. The Gov ernor, after describing the trickery by which the leaders in the Legislature took advantage of his temporary ab sence from Columbia to precipitate the Judicial election, which resulted in the choice of 'Whipper and Moses, said: T look upon their election as a hor rible disaster—a disaster equally great to the State, to the llepublican party, and, greatest of all, to those commu nities which shall be doomed to feel the full effects of the presence of Mo ses and Whipper upon the bench. I did, a year ago, speak publicly of •Whipper, who was then a candidate for the very same position to which he has now been elected. Then I de nounced him as incapable and utter ly unlit for the otliceof Judge. Of Moses, no honest men can have differ ent opinions. Neither Whipper nor Moses has any qualities which ap proach to a qualification for judicial positions. The reputation of Moses is covered deep with charges which are believed bv all who are familiar with the facts of corruption, bribery and the utter prostitution of all his official powers to the worst possible purposes. This calamity is infinitely \ greater, in my judgement, than any 1 which has yet fallen on this State, or, I might add, upon any part of the South. Moses as Governor is endurable com pared with Moses as Judge.” Question —“What do you think of Wiggins V” Answer—“Ho is not to be classed morally with sloses and Whipper; but, in order to defeat Judge Mailer, he has consented to be the tool of the same combination which elected Mo ses and Whipper, and, as such tool, he will lie expected to, and doubtless will do their work.” l’uestiou.—“What, in your judg ment, will be the effect of the elec tion of these three men?” Answer.—“ The gravest consequen ces of all kinds will follow. One im mediate effect will obviously be the reorganization of the Democratic par ty within the State, as the only means left, in the judgment of its members, for opposing a solid and reliable front to this terrible crevas.- ■ of misgoveru uient: and public debauchery. I could have wished, as a llepublican, j to have kept off such an issue; but I have a profound belief in the logic of i events and a Providence, too, that i shapes events, and I do not allow my- j self to think that the good and hon est men of South Carolina will find it impossible, because they are organiz ed as Democrats, to give their help to whomsoever shall bo best able to un- 1 do the levrifcla wrongs of last Th r day. lam free to say that niv high est ambition as Governor has been to make the ascendency of tho Republi can paty in South Carolina compati ble with the attainment and mainte nance of as high and pure a tone in the administration of public affairs as can bo exhibited in the proudest Dem ocratic State of tlie South; and it was also my fondest hope, by peaceful agencies, herein South Carolina alone of all tho Southern States, to have worked out, through the Republican party, the solution of the most diffi cult and ono of tho most interesting political and social problems which this century has presented. Tf these results shall not be reached, the re sponsibility for tho failure will not rest upon mo, nor upon tho Conserv ative citizens of South Carolina, who have hitherto, with unvarying fidelity and generosity, stood by n e in my work; but upon those, and all like them, who dealt the eauso of good government so deadly a blow on Thursday,” The Governor went on to snv that there was the gravest doubts, on con stitutional grounds, of tho validity of tlie judicial election ns to four out of tho eight circuits— Whippor and Mo ses being among the doubtful cases. The action of t,lio Legislature contin ues to bo the subject of great popular excitement all over the State. WASHINGTON NOTES. Washington, December 20. —The i reports of the Southern Claims Com- | mission reached the house a few min utes after adjournment. The aggro- j j gate amount allowed for the past five j years is over three millions, setting i j about five thousand claims for prop- j orty taken from loyal citizens by the j Federal army during tho war in the ! Southern S'ates. Tho President lias returned. Nearly all the Congressmen have j j gone home for the holidays. Ihe Attorney General is expected i to return to-morrow. Chief Justice Waite and Judge Bond are hearing the Chesapenhe and Ohio Railroad case at Alexandria to day. There were no Southern confirma j (ion to-day. NEW YOKK NOTES. New York, December 20. — Edward Eddie, tragedian, died in Jamni-; jca. Baring Bros. & Cos., tho English banker were among Duncan, Sher man A Co.’s creditors who petitioned to have the latter firm adjudged in voluntary bankrupts. The effect of proceeding will be to enjoin the mi- ( merons suits that have been brought ! against the suspended firm in the | State courts. THE PRESBYTERIANS. Philadelphia, December 21.— At a meeting of the Presbyterian Mimste- ] rial Assembly resolutions were adopt ed instructing the pastor of the Pres- \ byterinn Church to perpare a history ; of their churches to carry out the de sire of the General Assembly, which 1 appointed a committeee to consider the propriety of the church taking! part in the Centennial anniversity. The assembly lias designed tlie first Sunday of July, 1870, as a day of praise and thanksgiving. The Value of Small Farms. — Small j farms, says an exchange, make near ! neighbors; they' make good roads; ! they make plenty of good schools and j churches; there is more money made \ jin proportion to the labor; less lobor i |is wanted; everywhere is kept neat;! I less wages have tube paid for help;! | less time is wasted; more is raised to j i the acre; besides it is tilled better;; there is no watching for hired help; j | the mind is not kept in a worry, a stew, a fret, all the time. There is I not so much fear of a drought of wa ter, of a frost, of small prices. There is not so much money to be paid out for agricultural implements. Wives I and children have more time to read I and improve their mind. A small horse is soon curried—and the work on a small farm is always pushed for- I ward in season. Give us small'fr.rms for comfort; aye, and give us small ! farms for profit. COMMERCIAL. —o QUITMAN RETAIL PRICES CURRENT comiKcrun kvkky wekk.

Iron in the Blood MAKES THE WEAK STRO^O, The Peruvian Syrup, a Protect ed Solution of the Protoxide of Iron, is so combined as to have the character of an aliment, as easily digested and assimilated with the blood as the simplest food. It increases the quantity of Nature’s Own Vitalizing Agent, Iron in the blood, and cures “a thousand ills,” simply by Toning up,lnvigorating and Vitalizing the System. The en ( riSfted and vitalized blood per meates every part of the body, \ repairing damages and tvasfe, searching out morbid secre tions, and leaving nothing for disease to feed upon. This is the secret of the won derful s access of this remedy in curing Dyspepsia, Liver < 'om philiil, Dropsy, Chronic Diar rhoea, Boils, Nervous Affections, Chills and Fevers, Humors, Loss of Constitutional Vigor, Diseases of the Kidneys -and Bladder, Female Complaints, and all diseases originating in a bad state of the blood, or ac companied by debility or a low state of the system. Being free from Alcohol, in any form, its energizing effects arc not fol lowed by corresponding reac tion, but arc permanent, infu sing strength, vigor, and new life into all parts of the system, and building up an Iron Con stitution. Thousands have been changed by the use of this remedy, from weak, sickly, suffering crea tures, to strong, healthy, and happy men and women; and invalids cannot reasonably hes itate to give it a trial.
