Valedictory Hnvinp sold the Quitman Reporter to Judge Joseph Tillman, my connec tion n proprietor and local assistant editor of the paper ceases with this issue. Tn retiring from the paper I desire to return my thanks to those of my friends who havo given me their patronage, aud most heartily commend my successor as worthy of their confidence and support. T. A. Hall. Quitman, Ga., May 12, 1876. (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. Joseph Tillman Quitman, Ga., May 12, 1876. 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.— Atlanta Constitution. Destructive Fire in Blakely. The Blakely (Early County) News comes! out with an extra containing an ac count of a disastrous fire that occur red in that town last Sunday morn ing. The recently erected dwelling of Mr. It. C. Smith, iu which the fire originated, the law office of Col. S. S. Stafford, the millinery shop of Mrs. Smith and Miss Clara Fryer, and the Masonic hall, with a store and law of fice below, wero destroyed. No in surance. Mr. C. A. Kendrick, says the Co lumbus Enquirer, was carried from ! the jail to his house yesterday after- i noon by Sheriff Ivey and Jailor John-! son, accompanied by Mr. Jerry Slade,! to gee his wife, who has been in a ; critical condition for some time.'

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 I Constitution. in Imposter. 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.

The statements were fortified by official oaths from Atlanta that tho first nam ed was worth $13,000 unencumbered, and tho latter SIB,OOO above all debts and the homestead. The prisoner was released and re turned to his home. His wife is much better. It is thought he will not re main long iu Columbus.

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.— N. Y. Sun. 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.” — E"ery printer knows what these t.'.o :'.L—j t^f. THE CENTENNIAL. Opening Exercises of the (treat Exhi bition. proclamation of president orant. Philadelphia, May 10.—It’s legal holiday, and all business is suspended. The gates were opened at 0 o’clock The sky was cloudless. Foreign com missioners and other distinguished visitors had a special entrance and were seated without confusion. There were fully fifty thousand on the grounds. The ceremonies were open ed with airs of all nations, under the direction of Theodore Thomas; pray er by the Rt. Rev.

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 Theo. Thomas. At the conclusion of l which Bishop Simpson offered up a devout prayer, during the rendering I of which the majority of the vast as. j semblage stood with uncovered heads, 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.
