F.DITOU AND PROPRIETOR
TIIOMASTON, GA., JULY 2, ’7O.
We call the attention of the readers and
patrons of the Herald to a letter on the out
side page of this issue, writer, by Charles
I>. Bearce, Esq., of Portland, Maine. The
letter was written by Mr. liearce just after
an extensive trip to the Suu'h, and was
published in the Portland Argus. It is
the most truthful, impartial, and correct
account of the condition of the South, and
the tone, temper and disposition of her citi
zens that we have ever seen from the pen
of any ono.
The writer of the letter, is the father of
Mr. Charles G Bearce, the present Editor
and Proprietor of the Herald, and we, be
lieving the letter the very best recommend
ation that he could bring with him to this
place, prevailed upon him to copy it in his
paper. Hall & Weaver.

WASHINGTON NEWS.
The Washington news for the past week
is quite meagre. Both Houses seem to be
engaged in considering appropriation bills,
etc. The Georgia bill which passed the
House a few days ago has not, ns yet, been
called up, in the Senate. Doubtless it will
be passed by the Senate in its present shape,
which will secure to the State admission
into the Union and an election of members
of the Legislature this fall. Some few
of the Radical papers are ready to fiind
consolation in any measure, for their recent
discomfiture in regard to the Georgia bill,
and say, as a matter of consolation, that the
present bill will not prevent an exten
sion ~f the term of the State officers by the
Legislature. We, however, differ very
widely with them, and if the present
Georgia bill, the Constitution of the State
and the ordinances of the Convention of
1808, are taken and construed together,
they emphatically fix the election for Nov
ember next.
The New York World has an editorial on
Grant which we cannot forbear transfering
to our columns:
General Grant has differed from all other
Presidents by a peculiar prudishness in his
intercourse with politicians. During the
winter after his election he took none of
the Republican loaders into his confidence ;
he deigned to consult none of them about
the composition of his Cabinet; lie morti
fied and offended them all by repelling their
opinions and advice. When the Cabinet
was anuounced, it became still more evi
dent that he contemned and spurned their
whole class. Ilis strange selections pro
voked their amazement and disgust. There
was not a man in the list who had any pol
itical standing or connections. After Gen
eral Grant had organized his administra
tion, he spent a great part of the ensuing
summer and autumn in journeys of recrea
tion and amusement; hut in all those fre
quent journeys he took care not to consort
with politicians. He did nottravel in their
company; be did not accept their hospital
ity ; he kept aloof from them as if he desired
no personal intercourse except with officers
of the army and wealthy men who had givs
en him presents.
It is that singular distance and reserve
which render his ostentatious association
with Simon Cameron, who is one of the
worst types of the tribe of politicians, so
remarkable. A great change has come
over the spirit of the President. Like the
weak man that he is, he vibrates from one
foolish extreme to the other extreme still
more foolish and objectionable. General
Grant has become sensible that he made
a mistake in supposing that he could con
duct a successful administration without
the aid and co-operation of party leaders.
But after repelling those who were entitled
to his confidence, he is forming relations
with the most intriguing and unscrupulous
of corrupt politicians. Butler has become
the main pillar of the administration in the
House, although Butler has not yet been
honored with any such striking mark of
personal cordiality as has been bestowed on
Cameron ; hut of all the public men of the
country Butler is perhaps the last whom
anybody could have supposed General Grant
would consent to rely upon for assistance.
Butler intrigued against him in the army;
kept spies upon him during the Yirgiuia
campaign ; made a virulent, b tter speech
against him at Lowell, accussing him of
murdering our soldiers in the rebel prisons ;
and he was paid back by General Grant in
the contemptuous report in which he allud
ed to Butler as having been “bottled up”
at James River. In the year of the Presi
dential election, Butler prepared a pamph
let against Grant, and- was on the point of
printing it, exposing, in his sharp way, the
blunders of the Virginia campaign. The
fact that Butler has come to be the Presi
dent’s chosen champion in Congress, shows
how impossible it i» to predict General
Grant’s personal relations from his antece
dents. There was never a public man so
capable ot jerky inconsistencies. Before
he was the Republican candidate for Presi
dent he scouted negro suffrage, and made
what Senator Sumner denounced as a
“whitewashing” report on the fitness of the
Southern people for immediate readmission.
As soon as he had joined the Republican
party for the sake of office, he became an
“out-and-outer” in favor of negro suffrage,
and fully endorse the Reconstruction meas
ures. He is the same General Grant who
stood at the right hand of President John
son when he received the delegates from
the Philadelphia Convention, and accom
panied him when he--''swung around the
circle” making vehement speeches in de
nunciation of Congress. Os course, Dobody
can be surprised at any of General Grant’s
inconsistencies, lie selected one ot the
staunchest free-traders in the country for
Secretary of the Treasury,, and immediate
ly afterwards appointed a Massachusetts
protectionist to the same office. He was a
dogged pro-Cuban frantic during the first
five monts of his administration, and he af
terwards “wheeled about and turned about/
like Jim Crow in the negro song, and last
week exploded upon Congress a violent an
ti-Cuban message. There is no sequence
or connection between any two parts of this
weak man’s publio career.

ASTUTE LEGAL DISPLAY.
A correspondent from Athens writes to
the Atlanta Constitution that the law stu
dents at Athens had a Moot Court the other
day, in which a very important case was
tried. The case referred to by the corres
pondent, is the one of Mrs. Wright vs Geor
gia Railroad— suit for damages. This case
was originally tried in the circuit court,
went to the Supreme court, and was finally
decided against the plaintiff, Mrs. Wright
The students at Athens being dissatisfied
with the turn things took, tried the ease
regularly, reversing the Supreme court
giving verdict for $1,500 damages. Col.
Mitchell presided over the trial, and is re
ported to have said : “that much more law
had been envolved by them than had been
brought forward in the original discussion.”
We would be inclined to doubt the correct
ness of Col. Mitchell’s statement, hut for
the fact that these are wonderfu. tiroes ,*nd
many wonderful things are done. We will,
however call the attention of Gov. Bullock
to these young men, and suggest that when
a vacancy occurs on the supreme bench, he
will ‘‘go fur em.”
The Thomaston Herald, a very one
horse, small weakly paper, graduates more
editors than all the balance of the Georgia
press. In a little more than six months it
has introduced lour new men to the profes

tors are also proprietors, we may safely set
it dovyn that the Herald don’t pay. Al
most everybody sticks to a good thing, but
the Herald seems to be a “hot potato.”—
American Union.
We do not know that the three gentlemen
refered to claim to be graduates in journal
istic profession, but can say for them what
we, from common report, cannot say for
the editor of the Union, which is ; that they
are perfect gentlemen. The Herald pays
very well indeed, we will inform you Mr.
Union, and that is the reason so many have
desired and still desire to oWn it. The
American Union is doubtless very poorpay,
but the editor cannot relieve himself, as no
one but the present editor would own and
run such a machine. The Union says,
“almost everybody sticks to a good thing.”
That is true as-to gentlemen, but if we have
been correctly infbrmed, the editor of the
Union has been sticking to'very bad things
all of his life.

Important to Southern Claimants. —
The Senate had under consideration, a bill
to pay legal claimants in the South for
quartermaster and eommissary stores taken
by the Federal army during tho war. A
long debate was had, in which it was held
by the opponets of the bill that it was the
opening wedger to a series of claims from
the South which-would bankrupt the Treas*
ury. Jfo final action was taken.
Brick Pomrboy is alarmed for the safety
of the democracy and sounds the key note
in the following characteristic strain :
1872.
Look out lor trouble.
The air is full of it—for the Democracy.
It is now proposed to raise in the East a
fund ?f millions- to send <ne of the most
prominent New York politicians and mans
agers into the Southern States to talk sweet
to the people there—to assure them of a
happy termination to all their recenstruc
tion trials, and secure, by tair means or
foul, enough influence to insure the Souths
ern delegation in the next Presidential con
vention for a man from the Last, pledged
in writing, to keep faith only with the bond
holders and protected aristocracy of the
country and its despotic endeavors.
The next De nocratic convention is to be
bought aud paid for,
American and foreign capitalists are to
furnish the money.
The State of New York is to furnish the
Presidential candidate, and the Chairman
of the National Democratic Committee, as
now, for another term.
New England is to vote solid in the Na
tional Convention with New York.
The railroad interests of Pennsylvania
are to control that State, and throw it with
New York.
New Jersey is to be foiced to terms be
tween the two.
The entire South is to be bought and paid
for, no matter vrhnt the price.-
And, using the exact language of one of
the managers of the plot— itr the great West
may wait or go to hell!”
Then, with this planning accomplished
there will he—
An issue of two hnndred and fifty million
dol'ars more of United States bonds all
exempt from taxation, to raise money to
settle “war claims” and keep the g-eat faith
of the nation pure and spotless!
The consolidation of National and State
management in the hands of a “Congress
ional Chamber of Deputies,” appointed by
the President and Cabinet.
The sale of certain railroads to the United
States at par value for all stock floating at
the time, to be paid for in United States
six per cent, gold bearing, untaxed bonds,
with the management of these railroads in
the hands of a “Railwa’y Board,” with
power to buy for the Government, or crush
out all rebellious lines, and run the lines at
Government expense, making all employes
Government office-holders.
The funding of all Un>ted States bonds,
of whatever name and nature, in 6 percen*,
gold-bearing, untaxable “consols,” or con
solidated indebtedness, and the enactment
es such constitutional amendments as will
forever fix the payment of this interest up
on the people, beyond hope of redemption,
for the benefit of the aristocracy.
—Here is the plan—the above are the
facts. We have the names, the “trestle
hoard” before us, a"d our duty is, like the
sentinel on a watch-tower, to sound the
alarm.
Will the people look well to their delega*.
tes, or be sold into perpetual bondage?
We shall see !
The Black Man North and South.—
The Missouri Republican says: It is not
the least curious instance of the very curi
ous policy that has presented us with an
enforcement bill to guarantee nis rights to
to the colored man, that, the colored man
already enjoys more rights in that region
where he is supposed to have most enemies,
than in that region where he is supposed to
have most friends. The proclaimed object
or iiie mu icfci rej iw lo in protect me ne
gro of the South in all his constitutional
rights, and secure to him complete political
coequality with the whites. Yet there are
hundreds of negroes in office in the South,
at this time, and scarcely one in office at
the North. Nearly half the seats in the
Legislatures of South Carolina, Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, Louisana. Mississippi
and Texas, are tilled with negroes; nearly
all the profitable municipal offices in New
Orleans are held by negroes ; a negro is one
of the Supreme Judges of South Carolina;
the only negro cadets proposed for West
Point are form the South ; and, to cover all,
a negro Senator from Mississippi sits in the
United States Senate as a proof of the emi
nence to which his race may rise in the
Southern States. Nothing like this is to 1 e
seen at the North. No negroes are to be
found in Northern Legislatures ; no negro
sits in the police bo.»rd or school hoard of a
Northern city; no learned negro jurist sits
on the bench of a Northern court ; no negro
is a candidate for Congress in a Northern
district. All these immunities are denied
to the black man in the North, and all of
them easily enjoyed by him in the South.
Is it not singular then that Senator Carpen
ter of Wisconsin should support the enforce
ment bill for the purpose of “compelling
the cruel devils of the South to do justice to
colored men?” When Wisconsin sha’l
elect a colored Senator in place of Mr.
Carpenter, and a score of of colored men
shall sit in the Legislature of each of the
New England States, then and not till then,
will the black man be as well treated in
those Radical regions as he is now treated
in the rebel States of the South.
A Freedman’s llymn.—A Southern
friend, who is curious in his observations
as to the effect ot freedom on the ordinary
field hand freedman, says that in no way
does Sambo “feel hid oats” of liberty more
than in his devotions ; and in support of
his assertion sends the following, which he
says is in many quarters a favorite hymn
in public religious services :
We's nearer to de Lord.
Dan de white folks, and dey knows it;
See the g'ory gate unbarred ;
Walk up. darkeys, past de guard ;
Bet a dollar be don't close it.
Walk op, darkeys, froo de gate ;
Hark ! de eolored angels holler.
Go away white folks ! you's too late ;
We's de wlnnrn’ color ; with
Till de trumpet sounds to foller.
IJalletlujah I Cants on’ praise !
Long en aft we’ve borne our crosses;
Now we's de sooperior race;
We’s gwine to hebben afoie de bosses!
It argues hopefully for the Southern
future, that the Congressional Committee
have reported in favor of a sitting com
mittee to consider the subject of redem
ing the alluvial lands on the lower Mis
sissippi from ovtrflow by a complete levee
system. In a national point of view, the
redemption of several millions of acres of
the best cotton yielding soil in the world is
certainly worthy of some consideration. To
our mind, it furnishes the key to the solu*
tion of the national debt problem. Think
of 30,000,000 acres of new cotton land, with
the largest posible yield to the acre, and
then estimate the increase of revenue ther*-
trom. Why it is better than a gold mine.
—Nashville Banner.
Estimates' ot the coming cotton crop have
already been made, even before the first
bloom has made its appearance. The
highest estimate is four million bales, the
lowest three and a half millions. The
number of caterpillars and boll worms,
frosts'aud heavy rains are not estimated.
IN REPLY TO “JUSTITIA,” “M. D.”
PAY HIS RESPECTS IN THE FOL
LOWING WORDS.
Til l K aston, Ga., June 27, 18<0.
Mr. Editor : In reply to the special c r
resp mdent of the Georgia Herald, from
Texas, who says, “an M. D. of lexas pub
lishes a Texas fever cure.” I will say that
I did, and can now, cure said fever, and
having on my arrival here seen an adver
tisement or letter in the Macon Telegraph
and Messenger from a sick man who spoke
harshly of Texas, I thought I would
diagnose his case and reply to him, which
I did, but never in the - least spoke ill if
said State, on the contrary, I always did
and always do protect it, ass reside there
and have a family which I love dear y, and 1
of course cannot help being home-sick or
in 1 »vC for family, friends, and country.
Yes, “Justitia,” I am thus home-sick for
those dear ones, but I am not as you say,
“broke,” for I have many bright gold
pieces from Texas as well as plenty of
greenbacks, and can (ad libatum) return
to my beautiful, though humble cottage in
Huntsville. You envy my robust form :
Yes, “Justitia,” well you may—but I do
not envy you the skeleton frame you are
possessed of and your small amount of
brains. It is an “enigma” to you—my
remedies. I believe it, for a one horse
schoolmaster cannot judge. You are sure
I am dreaming. Why! least of jour
stamp are not allowed to have ideal imagi
nations as they are led by iustinct and not
smartness. You, or the sick man from
Texas, went from Galveston to Jefferson and
Davis counties. I never was in such coun
ties, although I have been in thirty-two i f
them. You say I do not know Texas no
more than the editor or the readers of the
Herald. That shows your poor capacity
for judging. I can't say that you are a
—, though an ignoramus, but my tongue
does not wish to mention many other worse
words. Well, we can settle this matter
over a glass of lager on my return home,
when I will pass through your place. I
shall be very dry, but, mind you. must be
better off than a one-horse teacher, or the
broke “M. D” will have to pay for the
lager. In regard to the epidemic of 1807,
it spoke for itself, and you know that ray
return there, would be a pleasure to the
community at large. However, I can diag
nose your case in one word. You are a—
clever fellow. You know what I mean.

Hoffman to the Front. —lt is, perhaps,
t( o soon to speculate on the next Presiden
tial contest, but there appears to be only
one opinion among the Democrats of New
York as to who shall carry the Democratic
banner. Gov. Hoffman is undoubtedly the
choice of the people, and his nomination is
regarded by many as a foregone conc'usion.
I doubt if there is in the whole country a
man more highly respected or possessing
in a larger de«e.« the elements of DOpular
ity than the present able and upright Gov
ernor of the Empire State. Ilis official
record is as dean as that of Washington,
his personal qualities secure for him the
esteem of all who come in contact with him,
a id in his messages and * o oes (and he ha?
not been sparing of the latter) he has de
monstrated statesmanlike abilities of the
higest order. It is understood among nil
classes of Democrats that no competitor will
oppose him in the next Convention to nom
inate a candidate for Governor, and it is as
good as settled that he will remain in the
gubernatorial chair till called to a higher
office No man in the country has done
more to reanimate the Democratic party
than Gov. Hoffman, and I doubt if any man
possesses the confidence of the party to so
large on extent. He isceitainly the favor*
ite of the Middle .States for President, and
his nomination would, it is believed, he
highly acceptable in every section.
