Accident.
A few evenings ago as the street car of the
city line of the Savannah, Seaboard and
Skidaway Railroad y, which left the
Exchange at half-past 1 o’clock was passing
up Whitaker street, nqar Liberty, a little
colored bov, named George Williamson, aged
about fiye years, ran after it and attempted to
jump on the platform, with the intention of
stealing a short ride. A white boy who was
on the front platform beckoned to him to
come on, and held out his hand to assist him.
The driver informed the white lad that the
boy only wanted to steal a ride and not to en
courage him. George continued to follow the
car as far as Macon street, and when about
that point was so near the car that the driver
could not see him and supposed that he had
abandoned the attempt. A short while after
he w£s conscious that the car had struck and
run over some obstacle which he presumed
was a large rock. The conductor at once
rung tue bell, and the car was stopped, when
it was discovered that the boy had fallen on
the track and been run over. On examina
tion it was found that the wheel had passed
over the left leg below and above the knee,
fracturing the thigh. He was taken into an
office near by, and Dr. T. J. Charlton dressed
the wound and bandaged the limb.

A GRAND MUSICAL DISPLAY.
We have not heretofore found space to make
such particular mention of the elegaDt display
of musical instruments from Ludden A Bates'
Southern music houso of Savannah, Ga., as it
deserves. It is comparatively an easy matter
for a home music house to exhibit their instru
ments, but for a houso hundred of miles away,
it is of no little matter of expense and labor
to transport their instruments and devoto val
uable time. Messrs. Ludden A Bates, with
their usual enterprise, have made a most ad
mirable display, and we are really glad to
know that they have made sales of instruments
which will fully compensate thorn for all their
inconvenionce. They have also made hosts
of friends and extendod their business ac
quaintance largely.
The instruments exhibited by them were :
The SI,OOO Haines Bros. Square Grand Piano,
which was raffled among subscribers to
their valuable Southern Musical Journal ; a
superb $650 Hallel, Davis A Cos. piano: $650
Haines Bros, piano; a S3OO Southern Gem
piano ; a $275 Excelsior piano ; three Mason
A Hamlin parlor organs, and among them
was one of the new style Etagerie cases, $225,
which was greatly admired.
They also exhibited a fine selection of
handsome music books in cloth and gilt, and
several hundred piece of popular sheet music
of their publication. The playing of the
blind boy from the asylum upon their superb
instruments, attracted crowds to their stand
and added not a little to their success. The
junior partner, Mr. Bates, did the honor of
the occasion, and like everything else he un
dertakes, ho did it well. His singing of
“Good Night, Little Nell,” will not soon be
forgotten by those who so heartily enjoyed it.
He is highly pleased with the attention shown
him on all hands, and assures us that when
ever Macon has a fair they*can just count on
a big display from Ludden A Bates.
Central Railroad.
It is rumored that a dividend of $3 per
share will be declared by the Central Railroad
Company from the earnings of the past year
up to September 1, 1875. It is to be hoped
that the recent decline from 62 to 54 will be
temporarily only. However, in the face of
this rumor, transactions at 54 were made a
few days ago, and more offering to purchase.

Augusta, Ga., Oct 26, 1875.
Editor Georgia Expositor :
Dear Sir :—The receipt of your first issue
has delighted me. Hundreds in this commu
nity have been longing and praying for a
Protestant paper. It’s want has been
felt throughout the State of Georgia. By
Protestant, I mean a paper that will
boldly and fearlessly defend Evangelical
religion and expose error, when it openly
attacks or covetly assails the truth. Ido
not desire to deprive a Roman Catholic
brother of a single right or privilege
claimed or enjoyed by his fellow-citizens
of other religious persuasion—far from it.
The Constitution of the United States
guarantees, as you truly state in your
Salutatory—to every citizen perfect free
dom and the amplest toloration.
But Roman Catholicism claims suprem
acy. And as the Religion, Education and
Politics of the Church of Rome are a
unit and all directed by tho fiat of the
Priest, Bishop and Pope, it is obvious
that the members of tho Romish sect must
move in mass at all our municipal and
State elections; and move they will as
they have done at tho bidding of a foreign
potentate.
The liberal and broad views of our
American people have greatly encouraged
and facilitated the growth of Popery in
this great Republic, and hence we find
that advantage has been taken —by far-see
ing Priests and Jesuits~of this feature of
our national feeling and public policy.
Some thirty years ago when tho immortal
‘ 'Kirwan” published his admirable letters
in the New York Observer and pointed
out the aims and exposed tho schemes of
the Papacy, he was censured even by Pro
testants as an alarmist and bigot. To-day
the leading politicians of Ohio admit that
Kirwan was a true prophet. The fact is,
Kirwan knew what Popery is—and what
Popery is seeking to attain in this great
Republic. Romanism wants control of
our educational institutions, and gaining
that, she will seek the suppression of all
free thought. The Priest must think for
the whole parish—in religion, in politics,
in everything—he claims the right of do
ing all the thinking.
Already we have had in ©nr city a
teacher who refused to teach Gooderick’s
English history because she found some
story in it which did not accord with the
views of the Church of Rome. If the
grounds of her scruples be sustained and
our Board of Education concede, in a
short time, we may have the Romish
Testament introduced into our city schools
with the sanction of our City Council.
The Protestants of Augusta are said to
ont number the Roman Catholic popula
tion by three to one (not including the
colored population), and at the present
time there are movements going on quiet
ly, but with steady aim which, if not soon
arrested, will place the control of the pub
lic schools of Augusta in the hands of the
Roman Catholics of our city. This start
ling statement can be confirmed by evi
dence. The state of our educational in
stitutions throughout Georgia, at this mo
ment, requires to be carefully noticed and
faithfully guarded. Wishing yon God
speed in your noble and commendable
enterprise, I am, respectfully,
A Contributor.
(Extract of a Letter.)
Augusta, October 26, 1875.
E. Yulee, Esq.:
Dear Sir : Though personally unknown
to you, I hope you will accept my un
feigned congratulations to yourself and
hearty thanks to God for this noble effort
to meet error and sustain truth. An en
terprise so much wanted.
(Communicated )
Editor Georgia Expositor:
Dear Sir: —l do not despise the day of
small things; and, consequently, though
your paper is not all that I trust it
will yet be, I, nevertheless, hail it as
an honest attempt to expose one of the worst
of the forms of modern apostaey. Strong
efforts arc being made by the agents of the
Papacy to extend its influence all over tho
earth ; and it bocomos tho friends of truth
everywhere to oppose the progress of this sys
tem of error. In the United States, whero, if
in any country, religious and civil liberty
ought to prevail, tho constitutional rights of
the people arc in jeopardy ; for already omin
ous signs of future conflict are visible. Here
in Savannuh there is sore need of an out
spoken testimony in behalf of spiritual free
dom. Many questions of vital importance
are excluded from the pulpit, and belong more
properly to the press. Besides, the sermon
can be heard by a limited audience only ; the
printed article can be read by all. But where
considerations of interest and patronago are
paramount, questions that may give offence to
an intolerant party, are likely to be ruled out
as unsuitable. Scurrility and personal in
solence will find acceptance, when truth will
be rejected as, forsooth, too controversial
Christian people who take these papers may
be disgusted continually with accounts of low
thoatrical exhibitions, and a mass of miscel
laneous verbiage, sometimes called wit and
sometimes called news; but the sacred princi
ples of tho word of God, which they hold so
dear, must never be presented, if there be any
thing in the presentation contrary to tho tastes
of certain vulgar minds.
In view, therefore, of tho fact that your
papor is certainly not very far behind any
thing we now have, and in the hopo that it
may help to meet tho existing need, I wish
you prosperity. You will no doubt bo charged
with sinister designs by some who would bo
greatly surprised if some of the charges were
retorted upon themselves; but such woapons
cannotjinjuro’you. As to tho inuondo sometimes
hoard about tho opposition to Popery being
the policy of a political party, we are not
careful to answer anybody in this matter, for
every man of sense knows that tho questions
at issue are no moro American than European,
and woro discussed centuries boforo Columbus
was born.
As my scissors may servo you better than
my pen, I send the following cuttings from
tho London Christian World. T. 11.
“In Spain, France, Ireland and Amcricnwe
see the emissaries of the Pope busily at work.
Tho first-named country is at present the
scono of renewed efforts to destroy the meas
ure of religious liberty which has been at
tained, and to carry her back to tile old had
days of tho Inquisition. In Franco, it is
proposed to establish universities in all the
leading provincial centres, which will be
completely controlled by the Jesuits. Through
the Lord Mayor ot Dublin, an attempt is on
foot to make tho Home-Rulo movoment sub
servient to tho interests of the Church. llis
lordship, who is no doubt acting under tho in
spiration of tho highest dignitaries of the
Popish Church in Iroland, has raised the ban
ner with anew dovico, ‘Faith and Fatherland.’
Tho scheme does not promiso, however, to be
successful. Mr. Butt, who would, of course,
be excluded from fatherland by faith, wilj
havo something to say on the subject. The
Protestant Irishmen, of Glasgow, havo hold a
meeting to protest against the new departure,
and the leading organs of Homo-Rule in Ire
land do not shrink from denouncing the mu
nicipal instrument of tho priests. A similar
want of success attonds the assualt which is
being made by the Roman Catholic clergy
upon the common-school Bystem of America.
All the more intelligent members of their own
flocks flatly refuse to follow thoir lead ; and
the Chrietian Union, of New York, in the latest
impression at hand, declurcs that ‘Protostunts
of almost every denomination are rapidly
overcoming their prejudices against the com
plete secularization of the common-schools, for
every day’s discussion makes it cloar that this
is the only ground upon which, in a country
where tho State is divorced from tho Church,
and all sects are equal befoie tho law, the sys
tem can be consistency and securely placed.’
This is a sentence thet may be of use on Eng
lish as well as on American soil.”
“The respect cherished by the Roman
Catholic dignitaries of Canada for British law,
as laid down by the highest court in the
realm, is evidenced by the fact that since the
disgraceful riots in Montreal at the attempted
funeral of Guibord, Bishop Bourget, of that
city, has formally cursed the ground in which
the dead printer is to lie ! What will the
Privy Council say to this ? A strong appli
cation of the Bismarckian policy would Boom
to be needed in Canada. The cursing of the
ground took place on the 12th of September.”
“A decree of Don Carlos has been published
showing what might be expected if this too)
of the Pope ever reached the throne of Spain.
This document enacts that any attempt to
abolish or change the Roman Catholio religion
in Spain shall be punished by temporary im
prisonment or perpetual banishment. ‘Any
person celebrating public worship not of the
Roman Catholic Apostolio religion shall be
punished by temporary banishment.’ Those
who profane images would receive a long term
of imprisonment.”
“The recent circular of the Papal Nuncio
addressed to the bishops ol Spain denouncing
the clause in the projected constitution in
favor of religious liberty is being actively dis
cussed in Madrid, and the interference of the
Papal See in the internal affairs of the coun
try is being resented."
“At a crowded meeting held in Glasgow on
Tuesday under the presidency of the Earl of
Galloway, resolutions were passed declaring
that the Vatican decrees, claiming snpreme
power, removed the Papacy from the domain
of mere religion, and called for resistance;
that the Papacy is a most perfect system of
tyranny, and its re-appearanee in Britain de
mands the attention of every friend of liber
ty."
