(Salutatory.
In assuming the proprietorship of
the Reporter I will state that its pol
itics will be, as heretofore, purely
Democratic. Mr. H. M. Mclntosh
and myself will be associated as edit
ors, and I shall not attempt to por
tray in this salutation the future of
the paper, by giving the public a
huge programme of the course that
will be pursued, but expect to be un
tramme'ed, unbiased, and free to dis
cuss any and all subjects, at all times,
and under all circumstances, as will
seem right, just, aud proper.

Old Size Resumed.
In view of the approaching cam
paign, and desiring to place the Re
porter at once in the front rank of
the weekly papers cf the State, the
new proprietor has enlarged it to its
original size—-twenty-eight columns.
If slinll be the eonsfant effort of the
present management to make the Re
porter a spicy, newsy, readable pa
per that will be a welcome visitor to
every well regulated family within its
legitimate territory, as a home paper,
mid to this end we ask the co-opera
tion of our friends throughout the
country.
Hurrah For the “Hardsliells ”
The Hard Shell Baptists have long
been noted for their honesty, and re
cently they have shown the same j
spirit, iu juke county, we learn from
the ( 'owner, by turning out Pleasant
Davis anil liis.wita tv cun ttietr clmrcli.
Davis sold his farm to the county,
some time ago,for a poor house aud af
being paid in money for it, sued for
it back, because he had taken a home
stead on it and the Superior Court
had decided that ho. could nut sell it.
We sav burah for the church that
turned him out. If religion makes a
man anything at all, it should make
him honest, nnd if there is any claim
of honesty iu the above suit we fail to
see it. But we can sec a cool, calm,
premeditated intentiou to swindle
Pike county out of the value of her
farm.
The reports of tlie American Bible
Society at the animal meeting in New
Yol k on Thursday, shows receipts for
the year of $527,198; expenditures
$559,281. Including balance May,
1875, is still left on hand $8,980.
During the year 876,770 Bibles were
manufactured, and 850,170 distribu
ted in this and twenty foreign coun
tries, having it printed in various lan
guages. Nine members of the board
of managers were elected. The next
annual meeting will be held in Phila
delphia, May 16, 1877.
The Thomnsville Times gnvs that
“for several days past our ir nrket has
been bare of corn, while the demand
was perhaps never greater. This is
rather hard on the non-producers,
proper, but as they are greatly in the
minority as sufferers, it may be all for
the best. It is perhaps the only way
in which farmers can be induced to
abandon the ruinous plan of buying
guano and raising cotton to the neg
lect of provision crops."
The Irwinton Southerner states a
fact which every farmer in the State
should look into and profit bv, if true.
It says: “A gentleman residing in
this county, who fniled to make a
sufficiency of corn last year to do him,
and has been feeding upon this arti- 1
cle for about a month, informs us that!
he has recently lost a valuable mule,
and that bis chickens and hogs are
daily dying of cholera, and he traces
his inisfortuueto the deleterious effect
of western corn.”
Paul Campbell and Priuoo Rober
son, the two negroes convicted, at the
last term of the court, of the murder
(f Mrs. Cochrane and daughter, at
Eden, Effingham county, in January
last, were executed last Monday.
They both protested their inuocence,
one declaring that he would be “hang
ing around the neck of Jesus” before
supper that night, whilst the other
e’juflled of to the tune of “I'm gwiue
a war. to Js-iUj.”

To Our Friends In Florida-
To our friends in Florida we will (
suv, that we feel very greatly con
; cerned for their welfare, having lived
l in their midst for many years, and
since the war sharing the misfortunes
and troubles incident to Radical mis
rule; that now since wo have be
come once more, and we verily believe
will over be, a citizen of the glorious
old Stnte of Georgia, whoso atmos
phere is not tainted with the noxious
infection of Radicalism, or its soil
polluted by them, wo can send
the Reporter to our friends greeting
and nay that, in and through it, you
uiay expect a warm friend and advo
cate. We assure you that it is our
honest conviction that if von put forth
the proper efforts, next November
will find you disenthralled. Thieves,
Carpet-baggers, Scallawags, anarchy,
and ruin tnat has confronted, dispir
ited and disheartened you, will van
ish into mist, and become a thing of
the past. Freight yourselves with
determination, with a fixedness of
purpose and principle, that you will
at any cost, and at all hazards,restore
your State to the enjoyment of con
stitutional liberty; then there will be
no mistake about its accomplish
ment.
Your safety from bankruptcy and
irretrievable ruin, depends entirely
upon the efforts that you will make
■to restore the Democratic party to
place and power, for it is the only
party identified with you in pecunia
ry, social and political interest, and,
once in power, will advance your State
to honor and greatness. The issue is
soon to be presented to you, and the
question will be, “will you allow the
intriguing of that miserable, vile, bru
tal, corrupt, vitiated horde of thieves,
vampires and villains, to longer dis
grace your State by humbly bowing
down your necks to the galling yoke,
in the way of demands upon your
purse, and this too, through your
ow n apathy, and indifference to your
unfortunate aud miserable political
condition ?” Right here, allow Us to
warn you that you have wolves in
your midst, in sheep’s clothing, (Rad
icals who profess to be Democrats,)
but will soon give you to understand
that they can see no guile in the Rad-
ical party, will take occasion to say
that “Mr. C. B. is n gentleman, he
keeps his office and books very neat,
and I don’t think he has ever stolen
much, if any!” (Yet from holding a
little paltry office ill the enunty, Mr
C. B. is reputed to be one of the
wealthiest men in the whole country.)
Another style of Radical-Democrats,
are'those who will approach you and
ask, “do you think we cun cnriy the
State at the next election ?” If you
are a good, pure, honest Democrat,
you will answer unhesitatingly “yes!”
Then lie will offer to bet one or two
bales of cottou, to be delivered next
fall, that the Radicals will carry the
State at the next election. A good
answer to all such will be, “Ephriam
is.joined to his idols; let him alone."
Yes, wo will let you alone, for though
you are covered in the skin of a rapa
cious lion, yet your long ears and bray
betray you, and after all we know
that you are nothing more or less
than a contemptible , and
would barter your liberties for a mess
of Radical potage. Our deGnition
of all such Democrats is, that tbev are
exceedingly soft, cheap, unreliable
price, and their mission is to dissem
inate, adder-like, the poison that lay
under their vile tongues. Beware of
any man who would thus approach
you, and set him down as an enirnis
sary of that party, whose lessons,
“Hell would blush to teach.”
Joseph Tillmax.
Dick Wiiitely recently advised the
negroes, at a political meeting in
Bainbridge, to let politics alone and
go to studying the mysteries of mak
ing meat and bread. The negroes
listened to his advice, saw that it was
good, and came oil' here to the State
convention, where they scratched
Whitely’s name off the delegation
from the State at large to Cincinnati
and put a negro in bis place. This is
either good sense or poetic justice.—

,1 PART OF THE CESTENSIAL
The centennial exposition hns been
opened to the world with appropriate
honors -with speeches, songs, the
clash of musical instruments, the btl
lowings of brass-mouthed artillery
nnd a gorgeous display of multi-col
ored bunting. Representatives and
rep-esentati-ms from all quarters of
the globe are gathered in the spa
cious buildiugs and the entire scheme
seems to be working well. That
scheme was to bring the American
republic into the eyes of the world
with the results of its progress and
the exhibition of its achievements dur
ing the first century of its existence,
and by comparison with the advance
ment of older nations show forth the
gigantic strides of our people in all
the fields of art, science and produc
tive industry. The wonders of Amer
ican progress are not mean ones and
we do not fear that our effort will
end in discomfort or the failure to bear
strong competitive tests.
We wisli that another exhibition
could be added to those already made.
If some method could bo designed for
showing to the world the progress of
Christianity iu this c< uutry, iu all its
details, embracing church extensions,
the multiplications of religious con
verts, the increase of Christian influ
ence iu the molding of events and af
fairs, the Christian world would have
reason to rejoice. We know that much
may be said by scoffers against the
churches, that instancesof ministerial
depravity are not wanting to be used
as weapons of defense by the wicked,
but we also know that the preachers
of America havo pursued their labors
with more signal success than the
world lias known before, and that
during the last century iu America, no
field of toil—whether of the laborer,
the artizan, or artist—has witnessed
such triumphs ns have been won by
the earnest, pure and zealous advo
cates of Christ and the gospel of sal
vation.
There should, we repeat, be some
centennial honors for the ministry.
\Ve are speaking with reference to the
| catholicity of Christian principle,
j With creeds and dogmas we have no
i issue here. If men have been made
j better, have been led to Christ, have
been redeemed from the certainty of
eternal damnation, the mediums of
| their salvation are worthy of all the
honors of Christian knighthood. It
is to the universal clergy of American
churches that we would see this hon
!or done. They have, in the years
j from 1776 to 1876 performed with
fervor and fortitude their mission.
| They have carried the gospel into ev
ery heart in this broad laud, whether
jit was received or not. The people
i of the country have profited by these
labors to an extent we dare not at
tempt to estimate, but we do dare to
■ say that every faithful minister of
\ Christ has reason to be proud of the
1 results achieved by his predecessors
saint tits eotemporaries during iim ua
i lion’s life,as they appear to the world
in this bright ceuteunial era.— Atlanta

The Sandersville Herald publishes
the following with the request that
exchanges copy, which we take pleas
ure in doing as an act of justice to
the denomination that has been im
posed upon by this deprave imposter,
and with a view of preventing other
communities from having a like fraud
perpetrated upon them:
Mt. Zion Chuiich, Tatnall Cos., Ga.
Whereas, T. T. Mosley, who has
for a number of years been a mem
ber of the Baptist church, and for
several years passed as an ordained
minister of the Gospel, was upon cer
tain charges preferred against him in
the above named church expelled.
The said Mosley afterward was
restored to the fellowship of the
church upon his acknowledgement,
and to a letter of recommendation,
since which time he has left his fami
ly and gone to parts unknown.
This church has since ascertained
from a careful investigation, that he
has not ouly r been guilty of various
other grievous wicked acts, but that
his clerical credentials were forged,
the name of the church and ministers
attached to them' being fictitious.
He has in possession a letter of rec
ommendation from this church, offi
cially signed, and supposing that he
may attempt to impose himself upon
some other community, this church
avails herself of this means ot pro
nouncing the letter null and void, and
warning the religious world in gener
al and the Baptist denomination in
particular, of this vile imposter.

[From the N. Y. Sun.]
j It is estimated that li(0,00() people
! visited the Centennial grounds upon
i the opening day. It is also estimated
I that 30,000, or nearly one-fourth of
the total number, marched iu the no
ble army of dendheads, the column
I led by Grant, and tailed by country
! editors, Philadelphia ward politicians,
■ and relatives of Congressmen, even to
j the third and fourth degrees of cous
j inship.
By an easy and obvious arithmetic
al process, it will be seen that if there
were 100,000 paying visitors at fifty
cents each, tile total receipts at the
gates were just $50,000. But on
Thursday the total attendance fell
to 35,000. Allowing that the dead
head attendance decreased iu like ra
tio, which, by the way, is not at all
| probable, the second day’s receipts
were about $14,000.
The groat show, excluding anv al
lowance for current expenses while it
is open, lias cost about $8,500 000.
Caterers, cigar and pop-corn peddlers,
aud other individuals whose patriot
ism has not obscured their enterprise,
have paid in about $500,000 for con
cessions and In order,
therefore, to repay the money con
tributed by the United States, Penn
sylvania, and Philadelphia, cud pri
vate subscribers to Centennial stock,
the Exhibition will have to net
$8,000,000 over its running expenses.
But to earn $8,000,000,• even iu
gross, the receipts muss average more
than $50,000 for every one of the one
hundred and fifty-nine days of the
show. This would require a daily at
tendance of 100,000 paying visitors.
Is it reasonable to expect that this av
erage will be reached ? We fear not.
Taking the season through, the aver
age attendance is more likely to ap
proach the second day’s figures than
those of the first.
It is true that the situation might
be improved by throwing open the
Exhibition at half price on Sundays
and by cutting off everyone of the
, 30,000 deadheads. But even under
■ the more favorable conditions, wo do
I not see any probability of the repay
ment of the Government loan of
$1,500,000, and none of the patriots
: who have subscribed to Centennial
stock by way of speculation can con
i gratulate themselves on the prospect
of a dividend.
An Eloquent Prayer.
The Centennial prayer of Bishop
Simpson was a remarkable piece of
eloqence. He covered a great deal
of ground with line phrases beauti
fully arranged. He told (this was
prayer, mind yon) bow the Puritans
were led through the deep to a land
of vast extent, towering mountains,
broad plains, unnumbered products,
and untold treasures, that bad been
veiled from the ages and from the an
cient world. He told of the men of
nnnci ana nuplu wlio ljave done great
dseds in this country in laying the
broad foundations of the, grand struc
ture of civil freedom. He reminded
the Almighty of (tie immortal Wash
ington and his grand associates. He
descanted, as he addressed the Di
vinity, upon our labor-saving ma
chinery, multiplied intentions, valu
able discoveries, and periodicals that
are scattered like leaves over the land.
He told of the long labors, anxieties
and difficulties of the Centennial
Commissioners. He took occasion to
welcome our foreign guests in his
prayer to tne Creator. He referred
to the relations of capital and labor.
He told of the intelligence, purity and
enterprise of the women of America,
who, he mentioned, for the first time
in the history of our race, tako so con
spiciuous a place in a national celebra
tion. And ho closed his briliant pray
er by tolling the Almighty of “that one
of our country’s illustrious sous who
was the first to draw experimentally
(it was well to be precise on this point)
the electric spark from Heaven, which
has since girdled the globe [Shake
spear] with its celestial whisper.” If
this be not an eloquent prayer, what
is eloquence? We have examples of
prayer in the Scriptures; but it is evi
dent that Bishop Simpson has too or
namental a mind to be able to model
his invocatory style upon theirs.—

Georgia News.
It is an old saying, says the Macon
; Telegraph, that we must go abroad to
get home news, and this is the only
! method by which we can learn just
| now what Georgia thinks about a
Presidential candidate. Here-is some
information about Georgia by way of
the New York Tribune and Buffalo
Courier:
Later reports about the Democrat
ic delegation from Georgia say that
I Gov. Smith and one other umn on it
are known to be for Tilden, two oth
; ers are for Bayard, a few for Hen
dricks and Thurman, and the rest un
known and counted for Tilden and
| Hendricks. A correspondent of the
Buffalo Courier gives currency to sim
ilar reports, and says of Southern sen
timent in general: “I speak exclu
sively of the South, with which sec
tion I am somewhat acquainted, and
without any attempt to make it har
monize with Northern sentiment.
The result of my observation here is
that Tilden and Hendricks are by all
odds the foremost candidates iu
Southern affection, and that Tilden is
gradually encroaching on Hendricks.
Atone time Hendricks was much the
stronger, but we cannot fairly say that
he is to-day. Ouo point in Tilden’s
favor is that Indiana is not consider
ed as essential to Democratic success
as New York. As an old Democrat
said to me the other day: “We can
get along without Indiana, but how
we can spare New York and elect a
President, I don’t Bee.” A good ma
ny others are in the same fix.”

The gates were opened at 0 o’clock
The sky was cloudless. Foreign com
missioners and other distinguished

Proclamation of the opening of the
international exhibition of 1876, by
the President.
“My countrymen, it has been
thought appropriate upon this cen
tennial occasion, to bring together in
Philadelphia, for popular inspection,
specimens of our attainments iu the
industrial and fine arts, and in litera
ture, science nnd philosophy, as well
as in the great business of agriculture
and of commerce that we may more
thoroughly appreciate the excellencies
and deficiencies of our achievements,
and also give emphatic expression to
our earnest desire to cultivate the
friendship of our fellow members of
this great family of nations, the en
lightened, agricultural, commercial
and manufacturing people of the
world have been invited to send nei
ther corresponding specimens of their
skill, and to exhibit on equal terms, in
friendly competition with our own.
To this invitation they have generous
ly responded for so doing, wo render
them onr hearty thanks. The beauty
and utility of the contributions will
this day be submitted to your inspec
tion by the managers of this exhibi
tion. We are gad to know that a
view of specimens of the skill of all
nations will afford to you unalloyed
pleasure as well ns yield to you a val
uable and practical know ledge of so
many of the remarkable results of the
wonderful skill existing in enlighten
ed communities. One hunered years
ago our country was new and but par
tially settled. Onr necessities have
compelled us to chiefly expend onr
means and time in felling forests, sub
duing prairies, building dwellings,
factories, ships, docks ware-houses,
roads, canals, machinery, etc., etc.
Most of our schools, libraries, church
es and asylums have been established
within an hundred years. Burthened
by these great primal works of neces
sity which could not be delayed, we
yet, have done what this exhibition
will show iu the direction of rivaling
older and ' more advanced nations
in law, medicine aud theology,
and science, literature, philosophy
and the fine arts. Whilst proud of
wli.it wc iiavc doue WOi. - irt Licit tic
have not done more. O.ir achieve
ments have been great enough howev
er, to make it easy for our people to
acknowledge superior merit wherever
found, and now fellow citizens, 1 hope
a careful examination of what is about
to be exhibited to you will not only in
spire you with a profound respec t for
the skill and taste of your friends
from other nations, but also satisfied
with the attainments made by our peo
ple during the past one hundred
years. I invoke your generous co
operation with the worthy commis
sioners to secure a brilliant success to
this international exhibition, and to
make the stay of our foreign visitors,
to whom we extend a hearty welcome
both profitable and pleasant to th m.
I declare the international exhibition
now open.”
Philadelphia, May 10.—At 10:30 j
a. m., Dom Pedro was escorted to a j
seat by Gen. Hawley; at 10:45 Gen.!
Philip Sheridan and wife passed over j
from the building to the stand in front j
of the Memorial Hall. During the [
rendition of the national airs he was |
greeted with loud applause. He was I
closely followed by Hon. J. G. Blaine, j
Senator Jones ot Nevada, and wife, j
At 10:55 the president entered i
through the Memorial Hall, and was |
conducted to a seat on the front of the j
platform. Governor Hartrauft, Gen- 1
eral Hawley and Hon. I). J. Morrill I
occupied seats on his left, while \
Messrs. John Welsh and Gashorn j
were on his right. Fred Douglass, ]
by some mischance worked his way
through the crowd, and was helped {
over the ropes by the officers and con- j
ducted to a seat on the platform. He
was greeted with cheers.
At 11:03 the Wagner centennial in
auguration march was performed by ;
the orchestra under the direction of

which Bishop Simpson offered up a
devout prayer, during the rendering I
of which the majority of the vast as. j

WHO SHOULD BOW FIRST.
One often hears ladies express mild j
surprise because some man who bail |
been presented to them had not
bowed to them on meeting them on
the street, or in the drawing room.
If you ask them, “Did you recognize
him?” they will be apt to reply, “Ob,
no; of course not. He should have
spoken first.” Being reminded of the
well defined etiquette bearing on the
subject, they are likely to add, “1
know that very well; but no woman
wants to take the initiative. Men
should do that; its their business; it
dosen’t belong to us. No one expects
us to mako ourselves so bold.” The
truth is, the majority of women are
naturally accustomed to man paying
court to them—to his malting the first
advance in everything—that they
can’t find it in their sensitiveness, in
their severely conventional selves to
obey n mandate they originally issued
and still insist on perpetuating..., Nfj
OLi in ti-
fault to find with the rule; in fact, we '
have never known a woman to object
to it. Nevcrthloss, she seldom fol 1
lows it m her own case. Sometimes i
a woman says, as a sort of self justifi
cation, “Supposing I should speak to
a man, on meeting him after an intro
duction, nnd he should not remember
mo 1 How nwkwurd I should appear;
how overwhelmed 1 should be with
shame to observe that he did not rec
ognize me. I can’t afford to put my
self in a position to seem to be cut L>y
any man.” If any number of women
feel thus, the point of etiquette should
be changed in order to save their sen
sibilities. Iu truth, however, the ob
jection is not well made.— Appleton's
Journal.
The Result of an Advertisement.
Superintendent 'Walling of the New
York police, received a telegram, April
20, which reads as follows: “I **ant
protection; a mob about my place;
send me help. P. Lowenthal.” The
signer was well know as a former po
liceman who was formerly known to
the force as “Glass-put-in,” owing to
his alleged busines before he was
made a patrolman, and who now
keeps u lamp store at No. 253 West
Twenty-ninth street. Mr. Wailing at I
once telegraphed to the twentieth
precinct tqjuiow what the matter j
was, and meantime rumors get afloat ,
that a great riot was in progress up
town. But in a short time it was
found that all trouble was over, and
that it had been due to an advertise
ment in a morning paper stating that
Mr. Lowonthal wanted twenty-five
men to go to Philadelphia during the
centennial at $1 75 cents per day; also
a number of women to work on sew
ing machines; and also that he had a
frame house to sell. The respond
ents to these demands who congre
gated before his house early in the
morning made a small army, and in
his dismay 1 e sent the telegram to
Superintendent Walling instead of
sending it to the station house for
protection. The attention of the lo
cal police was soon attracted bv the
gathering, and before the superin
tendent hat time to do anything it
was dispersed. It is not known who
inserted the bogus advertisement nor
to what motive fi was due, though it,is
supposed that it had its origin either
in malice or in a desire to perpetrate
a practical joke.
