Summerville, Ga , Juno 7th, 1876. Public Speaking. Hon. Thomas Hardeman will address the citizens of Ohattoogo county at Sum merville mi Wednesday June 14ih. Let the people rally to hear the di-tiiifpiished speaker. Come one! come all!! Turkey. The rumbling and heaving of a political volcano, that is likely to burst forth al an early moment, is heard in the eastern world, (hat will involve the entire Euro pean nations. For sometime Turkey has been tottering to its fall, and now that The Grand Vicier, Abdul Aziz Kahn, has abdicated tbu thrown, and the heir ap parent, Murad Elfeiiili, enthrowned, “if it should turn out,” says the Atlanta 'Common wealth, “(hut the abdication of Abdul Aziz was forced by the policy of the great powers, whoso civilization has been at war with Mohammedanism for centuries, the continent is on verge of the most stupendous clash of anus that ever afflicted the nations.” Is this to be the slaying of him who sat upon the “black horse,” which all writers on prophecy, have applied to Mohammedanism? Vide Rev. vi;s. Armuehee Academy. Having received a special invitation from Prof. Marshall, Principal of Ar miuibee Academy, in Hirttown district, to Is' present at the examination and en tertainment to bo given last Thursday and Friday, we wended our way thither on Friday. Upon our arrival, we found the exami nation progressing, with the classes in Geometry, Latin, Physical Geography, Geology, Greek and spelling by the school in the dictionary, all of which ac quitted themselves in a very creditable manner, and showed that the Professor had spared neither pains nor labor to import a knowledge of these various branches of science. Wo discovered but one thing against which we feel bound to enter our solemn protest; and that was one which is usual, and too common in nearly all the schools and colleges of the land. It is the teach ings of an infidel Geology, ignoring the Mosaic doctrine, and Bible testimony of the are of our world. This system of geology teaches that the world has existed “countless ages” in the past. We have no more sense than to believe what our Bible says and (caches upon this subject, that the world is only about six thousand years old, and christiau geologists have examined the matter as carefully as oth ers, and presented an array of facts amounting as near to a rlemoustration of the truth of the Bible cosmogony, as in fidel writers to overturn the same. But thi:. only as a demurrer to the sys tem of geology adopted so generally throughout the country, and not ns a criticism upon Professor Marshall. After these exercises an adjournment was taken to a hearty repast of the good things of this life prepared fur the outtcr man, by the very hospitable and clever denizens of Diryt wo valley. Hard times were not thought of. So much good things to cat. IVe couldn't nigh place -ourselves outside of all to which we were invited. Had we yielded tc the zolicita tions of our many friends, we certainly would have hurt ourself. Thanks to our many and kind friends thereabouts for their kind attentions to us. In the afternoon, a mass meeting was hold in the interest of education, during which addresses were made by Captain Irvine, Mr. Lee, Prof. Cheney, Ilev. It. P. Hass, Ilev. Prof. Rodgers, Presi dent. of the Dalton Female College, and a certain editor, who contended, if we would move the world, we should edu cate the fernule portion thereof. After those exercises Rev. D. B. Ham ilton, of Floyd, was introduced as the orator of the day, who gave us an elo quent, chaste and powerful address on the j influence of woman, and tho necessity of i her high education. To all of which and j singula!, we unhesitatingly agreed, and wish his expressed opinions could he in delibly impressed upon all men. About 7 o'clock the grand exhibition begun which lasted until near 12 o’clock- The compositions of the young ladies did them credit, a din also the declamations of tho young gentlemen. The perform ances of the little girls and bovs were well executed and well received by the audience. Miss Clarissa Kendrick, assistant in the literary department has deserved great credit for the attention bestowed upon the classes committed to her charge and won for herself an enviable reputa tion as an instructress. Of Miss Ada Rogers, teacher of music, we cannot speak too highly, if the per formances of her pupils are to bo the cri terion by w hich judgment is to be formed. Hhe would Jo credit and Ihj an ornament to any institution. Huiull in size, but wondrously adapted to the department in which she i, engaged. The closing exercises were an add re- • by Mr. I*. W. Proctor, a young lawyer of Rome, who delivert and an eloquent address, and then presented prizes to the follow ing persons: The first prize to Mi-s Mattie Selman, for the best read composition. The second to Mr. Robert Jones for tho best written Latin examination. The third, to Mr. John T. Kendrick, for the best effort in declamation. The exorcises wore all highly enter taining and gratifying to all present. The number present was estimated to he about six hundred. The occasion will long he remember and, and Prof. Marshall and his assistants have won lor themselves reputations of which they may well he proud. Obituary. Died, May the I si, 1576, at hi- n--i --tlcuee, in (.'hattooga county, Georgia, Mr. Kiihu Ilenley, aged fifty-three years and eight months. I'he deceased, was born in Roan county, \. C., October Ist, is””, and has been a citizen of Chattooga county about twenty three years. Ho was one of the most enterpiisiug men in the county. It can be truly said, that Chattooga county lias lost one of her best citizens, and his family a kind and affectionate husband und father. He bore his afflictions with fortitude, though racked with pain and scorched with fever, he never uttered one word of complaint- The writer has known him personally for several yeas, and never knew him to turn a deaf ear to the calls of the distressed; '■ always ready and willing to render any assistance in his power to relieve them. Asa neighbor there were none more obliging, nor any that seemed to take a greater pleasure in helpfcg his friends. But ha is gone. The grave's dark eclipse rests upon that beaming face, and that venerable form that moved among us but a little while ago, shrouded, coffined, buried, sleeps in death, awaiting the de scent of the judgment angel and the rev elation of the Son of Man. It is true, hero we die while we live; tho cradle rocks us to the tomb. Honor is but a dew drop, glittering in the morning ray, exhaled by the very I beam that makes it shine. Love and j friendship, the heart's blest affections wounded, pine, or, bereaved they dwell among the dead, like Mary weeping there. Oh! where is tho bloom without the blight? the sun without the cloud? “Oh! silent grave to thee we trust, This precious part of worldy dust; Quard it safe, oh’ sacred tomb. Until his family asks for room.’’ lie leaves an affectionate companion, i and a large family of children to mourn his loss. May Godin His infinite good ness and mercy watch over them through life, and house them all on the banks of sweet deliverance, where sick ties a and sorrow, pain and death are felt and feared no more. June 2d, 1576. R. J. L. Let a full crowd be in attendance in Summerville on the 14th inst,, to bear j Col- Thos. Hardeman, of Macon. Ladies and gentlemen, make your arrangements to bo here. He is a gifted and eloquent | speaker, and all may look forward for a tine literary entertainment. It will be a busy time, but let our country friends rise : a little earlier and work a little harder and the time w ill not bo missed. Speaking at 11 o'clock A. M. Come one, come all! and bring your families. Advertise in The Gazette Our Washington Correspondent. Wabhi.voto.v, D. C., May 27, 1876. We have just had an amusing fllu-tru tion of that old maxim, “The course of true love never runs smooth.” A young man has for some time past been paying his attentions to a young lady, who gave him every reason to think that she return ed his love. At last be screwed up his courage to tho sticking point, proposed, and was refused. As soon as ho roe- vered from his surprise, he began uprniding the fickle, fair one, and ended by saying that he was going to jump in the river und drown himself. Suiting action to the word, he started on a run for the river, which was hut a short distant away, fol lowed by the young lady, who vainly im plored him to “Come rest in this bosom, my own stricken dear,” and tocorne tack to his “own chickabiddy.” Arriving at the bridge, which crosses the river, he sprang nimbly over tho railing into the dark, rushing stream below, but which proved to be only knee deep. Net to be thwarted by any such trifle as that, foj struck boldly out for deep water, brandish* ing his two arms like the flaps of a wind mill as he went. Tho lady accingjhutlm was determined to commit suicide, ami and that her entreaties had no effect upon him, let her back hair, gave a piercing scream, and fainted. Just then a man canto along who seeing lmw things were, gathered up a lot of stones and began to pelt the young fool, who was fa.-t getting out towards deep water. As the stories began to splash around the afore aid young tool, lie lirst glanced around in sur prise, then stopped and began to sweat, then to remonstrate, and finally finding that tho stones were raining faster than ever, forgot all about his intention to com mit suicide, caj itulatcd and told the man if he would ston throwing that he would cotue out at once. He could drown for love, but to be stoned was more than hi nature coifld bear. Ho came nit, took tho lady home, and tile two uro now engaged to be married. “Thus endeth that lesson.” Much to the surplies of every one who has watched similar Congressional Inves tigation*, the committee appointed to in vestigate the Freedman’s Bank, have brought in one of the most scathing re ports ever presented to Congress. The report says if the very idea of the Bank \va: not conceived in fraud, the Rank itself settled down into one of the most gigantic of modern swindles. Its charter was gotten up by J. \V. Alvord, who had proved a failure in both lay and clerical pursuits, and who drew the charter that tho officers had the. right to du Tii they pleased, while the depositors were left aim .-t entirely defenceless. Tho whole institution was simply a “confidence game 1 ’ under the new i*une of the “Freedman's Having and Trust Com pany.'' When the committee attempted to examiner the books, leaves were found torn out in places, new ones inserted in others, and in some places the leaves, wyre so pasted and sealed tagether as to defy all attempts to get them apart, while the accounts wore one mass of false entries, that defied all attempts to make anything out of them. Hundreds of thousands of dollars were advanced on certificates and stock that was not worth four cents a bushel; immense sums were loaned with out any security whatever; in fact the depositors had their money divided up among a set of thieves as fast as received. Tho officers went so far as to send out a number of men to travel through the South under the preten.-z of teaching the negroes, but really to get them to .-end their earnings to tho bank as fast as pos sible. Tho committee advise that Henry It Cooke, Lewis Clephane, Ilallet Kilbuurn, and John O. F.vans be itidieti I and punished to the full extent of the law. Gen. 0. 0. Howard was among thcchief of this set of robbers. He was a poor man until ho became connected winh this bank and the Freedman’s Bureau, and then he suddenly became rich- The more he got mixed up with this precious set, the longer ami louder he prayed in public, and God only kn -ws what be done in private. liis getting sent to Alaska, until this storm should blow over, can now ho understood. If he anil a polar bear should ever meet, and the meeting for Howard prove to lie like the memorable meeting between Jonah and tho whale, the cause of true religion will be advanced, and scoffers have less to jeer at. The House committee appoineed to in vestigate the doorkeeper, Fitzhugh, have decided to dismiss him. Thus the man who was “bagger than old man Grant” one day, is the object of scorn and ridicule tho next, but then Republics were ever ungrateful. The Senatorial committee, of which O. P. Morton is the chairman, has just handed in their report in regard to the election of Senator Spencer, of Alabama. The most infamous charges were made against this gentleman, and every effort made to prevent his taking his .'-eat as Senator, but the committee say that the charges arc not sustained by the evidence, so declare him legally elected. There will always be two very decided opinions in regard to Spencer, and it may be safely said that had ha been of a different faith, politically, he and Piiiehbaek would now | he shedding their “briny sobs” together. For the first time this session, fbo President’s veto has been over ruled by ! Congress. A hill passed both houses to pay a certain party a until of about $164 and the President, acting under the advice of two of his Cabinet officers, refused to -ign it. Roth Houses then passid it over ! his head. The Senate an t entire country were i taken wholly by urprise at the change made by the President in his Cabinet, i Judge Taft, who is a lawyer and entirely ! unfitted for the Secretary of War, now becomes Attorney General; Pierrepunt goes to England as Minister Plcnipoten ; tiary; and Don Cameron, son of Senator | Camerm/, of Pennsylvania, becomes See | rutary Jf War. Messrs. Taft and Cam eron /re unanimously confirmed, but a i nnuifcr of votes were cast against Pierre- I pore Jupon the ground thalhe abused his office in helping Babcock to e-cape, at iHj 1/iuis. Don Cameron is a wealthy ■ gentleman who knows probably more about raihoaws than anything else, but Jis said to be a fine business man. These Tchanges are almost universally thought * by Politicians to be a move bv the I’resi j dent in favor of Senator Gonkling. The committee appointed to investigate ; the troubles in Louisiana, have made ap plication to the Attorney General for the reports of the committees which investi l gated similar troubles heretofore, ami lie has refused to allow them even to see i them, upon the grounds of public ex i pediency. These r ports threw all the ! blame of the bloodshed and riots upon I Gov. Kellogg, who has been here in the I City so earnestly imploring the help of Federal troop . Kollovg thus far has j found only .Senator Morton to give him ! the slightest encouragement. | A bill has just been introduced into i Congress to give the bodies of all who | may die in jails, ho. pital- and a-ylun s ! in this District, to the Medical Colleges, j with the view of protecting the grave j yards. As this, if the bill becomes a law, j will effectually do away with giving some : of us one m we resurrection than we want, | the bill finds great favor all through the | District, Most of us live in hopes that | Gabriel will some night go out on a little | “toot” on his own account, and lose his | horn, and thus wo escape even the final ! resurrection let alone the one wo are pretty | apt to get at the hands of the Student®. , We have several medical colleges here I that are very largely attended, and | “cadavers” are always in great demand. The Sermt ■, or as no reverently term it here, the “Fog Bank,” is still engaged ill its wrangle over the jurisdiction in tho Ilb Iknap case. The debate* are carried i on with closed doors, so with the excep tion of the big guns that are fired off to i let us outsiders know that they tire s ill | alive and “blowing" away, we know 1 nothing, and care still less for what is i said. Every hone -’, man in the country 1 knows that u rascal who has brought j -hanie aud dig race upon the nation, has ; been caught, aud if there is any punish : merit for him, we want him to ect it. W hetln-r it is worth while that so much ; time should be taken up in “chin music ' ;is a matter of drubt. New rumors aro I started each day in regard to Belknap. , It is now said thabhe is beginning to show | his teeth, and says that if they do decide | to try him, he will keep the whose body , here all summer, as he has a large number | of witnesses.* to examine. The committee appointed to investigate ; Minister Hchemk s connection with the Emma Mine swindle have had their re port ready for several days, and would | have presented it to the House before now, but have been holding it back at I Schetick s tequest in order to allow him to send them his reply to the Chceso j borough letter. Ilis reply has been re , ceived, and it only places him in a worse light than before. The report will be made to-day, censuring Schenck severely, ! but exonerating him from all intentional fraud. \\ hen professional politicians of his age and experience allow themselves j to l so egregiously “deceived,” then ■ Congress should seud wet nurses abroad with them to keep the wool from grow ! ing over their eyes. A pedestrian passing through our town 1 some months since, became so much in | fatuated with the place that he coeluded j to stop with us a few weeks, and finding : a place to board he whiled away the time | very pleasantly. There was nothing astoni.Miing about the man's appearance, jor bis sojourn here; but there was some astonishment when on the day of his ! departure he was found t j -be minus of | “scads. ’ Ho the deposit of a pair of • saddle hags, with the promise of a regis tered letter in the future served to ex tricate him from the dilemma. This in sinuation that a registered letter would ! be sent, caused a eeataiu person to fre quent the postoffice moie than common, and to his great expectation, he received a registered letter a few evenings since, I in which was enclosed the following receipt, with request to sign the same, and returned to Bristol, Tennessee: SvMMEKviuue, Ga., May 29, 1x76. This is to certify that even as Moses lifted up tiie serpent in the wilderness, j even so did one Giliam lift me out of: j three weeks board, miuus one pair of ; .-addle lags. * * * (.Seal.)
