GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
A now sleeping car company has been
organized at Atlanta, headed by Mr.
Wadley, President of the Georgia Cen
tral Railroad, and to bo styled the "Lu
cas Sleeping Oar Company.” Coaches
are being built which do not Infringe
any of Pullman’s costly patents, and
two of the new cars are already run
ning. This movement arises from the
Civil Rights policy pursued by the
Pullman monopoly.
Dr. Lipscomb has formally accepted
the Chair of Modern Languages In the
Nashville Vanderbilt University, and
will enter upon duty on the first of
September.
Quite an extensive programme has
been adopted by the people of Athens
for the entertainment of the Press Con
vention, which meets there to-day. It
includes a committee of nine upon re
ception and escort to quarters, the as
sembly at Moore College, address of
welcome by Dr. Tucker, response by
the President, inspection of the Uni
versity, dinner at the Newton House,
review of the University Battalion, re
ception at Lucy Cobb Institute, in
spection of manufacturing interests,
and a regular Press Dinner, for which
a round dozen toasts are written.
Athens Georgian : A gentleman from
Oconee county informs us that they are
about to organize a school in his set
tlement, consisting of twenty-five boys
from three families —he being the fa
ther of nine, while two of his neigh
bors contribute eight each.
Col. Christy, of the Athens Watch

Dick Hancock, the negro found
guilty of rape on the person of a col

The enthusiastic young man of the
Gainesville Southron: These nights are
appropriate for star-gazing with your
sweetheart, notwithstanding you have
to keep the dew rubbed oft her lips
with your moustache, to keep from
taking cold or diptheria.
Athens Watchman: Many of our
readers remember John H. Patrick,
son of the late Col. Patrick, of Frank
lin county. It will be also remembered
that he went to Texas some years ago.
It appears that on the first day of this
mouth a scuffle ensued between four
men as to the possession of a carbine,
which was secured by the strongest
man, and, as no backed out of the door,
someone on the outside shot John H.
Patrick with a shot-gun. No cluoas to
the party who did the shooting. Pat
rick was buried at Huntsville, with
masonic honors. He leaves a wife and
four children.
Speaking of Messrs. Printup and
Shauklin, "the Rome Courier says:
These gentlemen returned from Au
gusta on Saturday. We are glad to
learn that the result of their confer
ence with the holders of our bonds was
agreeable, and the situation is regard
ed as favorable to a satisfactory settle
ment.
Atlanta Republican: The pastor
of a colored church in Marietta,
sends us the following: I am a
minister of the African M. E. Church.
About three yt ars ago, having S7OO on
hand that I did not eaie to use at the
time, I put it in the Ereedraen’s Bank,
chiefly for sefe keeping. I did not put
it there for the sake of proiit, for the
interest paid or promised was small. I
could have loaned out the money for
three times the rate of interest the
bank agreed to pay. But I was afraid
of men and other banks. 1 was assured
that the money of the Freedman's
Bank was only loaned to the United
Suites, and ' that the government
itself was responsible to depositors.
I put my money there because I be
lieved it would be safer than anywhere
else. I can yet hardly feel that lam
to lose it. It is all I have in the world.
I am a poor preacher and preach to a
poor pesple. lam getting in years. If
I were to leave the ministry I might
possibly, by retui ning to my old call
ing, again get together such a sum ;
but this I cannot do. 1 have put my
hand to the plow and cannot look back.
I had intended, with our little stoi’e, to
buy me a lot and build a house that
would have made myself and wife a
home in our old age. The money was
saved by years of labor and self-denial
(for at times we denied ourselves even
the necessaries of life) and now we
think all has been swept away. Is It
so ? Are we and others to lose our
hard-earned savings? Carnot the Gov
ernment see that we are not wronged?
We hear that a Congressional Commit
tee reported last Winter that the gov
ernment was not responsible, and could
not assume the responsibility. We
hear also, that some time it is probable
that a part of our claims will be paid—
but when ? Many are doubting whether
they will ever get a dollar. I will say
this: If it is all lost, It will cause more
suffering among the poor people of this
country than any one thing that has
happened before or since the war. The
thing done much to alienate the colored
men irom the Republican party. The
Democrats have not been slow to use
such a weapon with the Ignorant, uu
thiukiug freed people, and they mean
to use it hereafter, and I much fear
that in the next campaign, especially if
the Democrats should promise if they
get eoutrol of the country to refund
this money, that they will get a large
part of the colored vote. H. B. D.
Why the Young Men Loved to Kiss
Her.— A young lady of about sixteen
summers called for a glass of soda
water. When asked wliat syrup she
preferred she glauced her lovely eyes
over tho various names which appeared
on the faucets of the fountain. She
read over the names of strawberry,
cream, lemon, etc., until she reached
nectarine.
“Nectarine!” exclaimed the beauty.
“What is that? What does it taste
like?”
The soda water man looked meekly
at her, and charmingly replied that it
tasted as sweet as a young lady’s lips.
“Then I will take a glass, sir, with
that syrup,” said the charming crea
ture.
He immediately prepared a glass of
the delightful mixture and handed it
over to the young lady, who raised it
to her lips, which witehingly parted to
receive tho contents. She sippiugly
quaffed the cooling beverage, and hand
ing back tho glass she Innocently re
marked that now she knew why the
youug gentlemen found so much plea
sure in kissing her so often.
In Nevada napkins are not used at
table, but when they have eggs for
diuuer the mother remarks : “Now,
Bill, you an’ the rest jest stick to yer
sleeves and let the edge of the table
cloth alone, like yer belonged to decent
eooiety, or I’ll baste the pelt off yer
backs.”
There is at present at the Paris
mint enough of gold ingots for the
coining of 20,000,000 francs in pieces
of twenty francs. There is also a
great abundance of silver, and It can
almost be said that the metal taken
•out of the country by the war indem
nity has completely re-entered France.

A Surfeit of Conventions—-The Epis
copal Church and the Colored Man-
Politics and Religion—Chamberlain
Disappointing Both Parties—The
Rogues’ Gallery—Sea Sports and
Shooting Matches—The Pine and
Palmetto—The Reign of Peace.
I From Our Regular Correspondent.]
Charleston. May 19, 1875.
The City by the Sea has had almost
a surfeit of conventions within the past
two weeks, and for the present will
amuse itself with the regatta, the
Schutzenfest and the Bunker Hill Cen
tennial. The annual Diocesan Con
vention of the Episcopal Church, which
has just closed its session, had a
very delicate question to deal with,
aud in the opinion of nine
tenths of the thinking men in the
Palmetto State shirked the issue in a
very weak-kneed manner. The ques
tion to which I allude, and which has
already been briefly mentioned in the
telegraphic columns of the Constitu
tionalist, was the application of St.
Mark’s Church for the admission of its
delegates into the convention. It may
be as well to state here that St. Mark’s
congregation are composed of the elite
of the colored people of the city, and
when I say the elite I do not wish to be
understood as meaning the shoddy
black rogues who have of late years
grown rich from the public plundering
that has been so marked a fea
ture in the reconstruction history
of South Carolina. I mean the
cream colored people who were known
before the war as free persons of color,
who have now taken a pi'ominent part
in politics since the emancipation of
their race, who are educated, intelli
gent, property holders, aud nine-tenths
of whom always vote and act with the
conservative white element in the State.
The church has been organized for ten
years and had never applied for ad
mission into the convention, and, as
was stated by the presiding Bishops of
the Diocese during the debate on the
subject, made the application at this
time through his advice and by his
consent. In the lengthy discussiou
which ensued aud which lasted for two
days almost every member of the con
vention made a speech, and without
troubling the readers of the Constitu
tionalist with a report of the speeches
that were made, I may state briefly
that a large majority of the clergy,
headed by the Bishop of the Diocese,
aud a very strong minority of the lay
delegates, pronounced unequivocally in
favor of the admission of the appli
cants. Among the laymen who ar
rayed themselves on this side of the
question were Hon. Geo. A. Trenholm,
ex-Secretary of the Confederate States
Treasury, City Judge W. A. Pringle,
and a number of the most influential
business men of Charleston. The op
ponents of the measure, who desired to
rerer the application to a special, com
mission (to report next year), were led
by the Hon. C. G. Memminger, Ed
ward McCrady, T. M. Hauckei and
other venerable gentlemen, who have
not yet awakened to the changes that
have been brought about by the events
of the last quarter of a century. In
vain the Bishop urged that even in
Georgia colored clergymen were ad
mitted to the convention; in vain he
urged that the application had been fa
vored by the late venerable Bishop
Davis, his predecessor. The old regime
succeeded in carrying the resolution to
refer, and the question has accord
ingly been put off for one year
more, when the general opinion is that
the applicants will be admitted. But
this action has worked incalculable
harm to the conservative element in
the State—has imposed a drawback
upon its progress, which it will take
years to overcome. The congregation
of St. Mark’s with a degree of good
sense which does them infinite credit
have determined to wait for another
year, but there is no lack of political
vultures in this State in the shape of
sutler preachers and blatant negro
politicians who will harp upon it to the
ignorant blacks aud use it for political
purposes.
The Era of Reform.
And this brings mo to speak of the
dawn of day which now illumines the
political horizon of the much plunder
ed Palmetto State. There were several
reasons why the Conservatives should
regard the election of Governor Cham
berlain as a victory, although they met
with a nominal defeat. In the first
place, for the first time since the dark
and disastrous days of reconstruction
the solid phalanx of negro votes was
broken—a standing najorlty of from
30,000 to 50,000 was reduced to less
thau 10,000. But the real cause of
congratulation is to bo found in the
fact that our Massachusetts Governor
has disappointed both his supporters
and his opponents in his gubernatorial
career; the first are disgusted,
the last agreeably surprised in
spite of the insinuations which dis
appointed office-seekers have made
against him. Our Yankee Governor has
entirely won the confidence and sup
port of the tax payers of the State, aud
I make the assertion with a full reali
zation of its sweeping nature. Your
correspondent haviug been at the State
Capital during the ontire session of the
last Legislature, aud haviug had op
portunities of observing the annual
crusade upon the State Treasurer, is in
a position to know- what Gov. Cham
berlain’s course has been, and Ims no
hesitation in saying that it was that of
an upright, honest Executive. The ev
idence of the truth of this assertion is
to be found in the almost unanimous
endorsement of him by the Conserva
tives of the State, in his condemnation
by the rogues; and, above all, in the
thousand and one criminal prosecu
tions that are being daily instituted
against these men who have grown
rich off the property of the tax payers.
The Cruade Against Public Plun
derers.
Let me give your readers a few cases,
not enumerating tho hundreds of de
faulting County Treasurers aud Com
missiouers who have been Indicted iu
almost every county In the State, but
confining the record to tho arch rogues
who are now before the Courts. Jas.
A. Bowley, a negro who was chairman
of the Ways and Means Committee of
the Legislature of 1873 and 1874, and
who is notoriously one of the most cor
rupt of the thieving crew who have
plundered the State, has been indicted
for receiving a bribe. Robt. Smalls,
late negro State Senator from Beaufort
county, anti at present member of Con
gress, has been Indicted for raising a
State claim from 8250 to 82,250.
J Woodruff and A. O. Jones, the
clerks of the two houses and the Boss
Tweeds of South Carolina, will proba
bly be arrested in a few days on a
charge of embezzlement.
F. C. MeKinlay, School Commission
er of Orangeburg county, is now being
tried at Orangeburg for forging school
claims.
0. C. Bowen, the arch criminal who
was a captain in the Confederate ser
vice in the 21st Georgia Battalion of
cavalry, and who has always, slnoe
reconstruction, been the political king
of politics in Charleston, has been ar
rested for the murder of Col. White,
and will, in a few days, probably be ar
rested and jailed on a charge of per
petrating a system of gigantic frauds
on the Treasury of Charleston county,
of which he is now the Sheriff.
Niles G. Parker, a camp follower who
came into Charleston in the rear of the
army, penniless, ragged and knavish,
but who in four years accumulated an
enormous fortune on a salary of $3,000
per annum as State Treasurer, now
lies in jail in Columbia under a charge
of embazzlement.
In fact, in almost every county in the
State, criminal prosecutions have been
instituted against the thievish officials,
and in less than three months there Is
good reason to hope and believe that
the entire band of rogues, from Moses,
the robber Governor; down to his
meanest pimp and panderer, will be
brought within the coils of the law.
The Regatta—The Schutzenfest.
To speak, however, of more pleasant
topics, let me turn to the Spring re
gatta, which will be inaugurated to
morrow. There will of course be the
usual number of rowing races, but the
main Interest centers upon the four
oared shell race which is to take place,
and in which two crews from Savan
nah have entered. The main contest
will be between the Schley crew, of Sa
vannah, and the Palmetto crew, of this
city, both of whom, it will be remem
bered, took part in the international
regatta at Saratoga Lake last year.
On that occasion the Savannah crew,
who had won laurels at the Schuylkill
regatta, several years ago, were cleaned
out by the Palmetto boys, and they
propose now to retrieve their lost lau
rels. The race has excited much in
terest In Savannah and Charleston, and
several small fortunes will doubtless
change hands on the result.
The annual Schutzenfest of the Ger
man Rifle Club of this city was in
augurated yesterday. A delegation
from the Augusta Schutzen, consisting
of Messrs. D. C. Stelling, C. H. Ward,
J. W. Bredenberg and Sol Simon,, were
present and honored the parade with
their presence. They will doubtless
make a good record on the targets.
The Bunker Hill Centennial.
As your readers have already been
advised, the Washington Light Infan
try of this city, the custodians of the
Eutaw flag, the only revolutionary
colors now in existence, were to go to
the Bunker Hill Centennial. A meeting
of the company was held last night arid
the following dispatch sent to the Mili
tary Committee of Boston, who ex
tended the invitation:
Chaulkston, May 18th.
The Carolina Banditti will he at Buu
ker Hill on the 17th of June.

LETTER FROM EDGEFIELD, C. H.
Augusta's Charming Little Country
Cousin.
[Correspondence of the Constitutionalist.]
Edgefield, C. H., May 19, 1875.
We "country folks” haven’t “the
ways” of " city people,” and it is with
some nervousness that I undertake to
write an article for a city newspaper.
We Edgefield people, however, feel
that we livo In the suburbs of Augusta,
and whenever any incident happens in
our community wo are not satisfied
until we are assured that the dear old
Constitutionalist is furnished with
all the details.
One of the first charters which was
ever granted for a railroad in South
Carolina had for a terminal point the
quiet village of Edgefield ; and yet,
think of it, tho appearance in our
midst of a civil engineer has caused
every citizen to ask “ what is the ob
ject of his visit ?”
In answer to this question, wo are
informed in a mysterious whisper that
some change is contemplated in the
Charlotte, Columbia aud Augusta Rail
road, whereby Edgefield Court House
is to be brought into connection by rail
with Augusta. Col. Earle, the* civil
engineer of this corporation, a very
courteous gentleman, has spent several
days in our midst. He has been mak
ing a survey of the surrounding coun
try, and, wo are informed, his purpose
is to furnish a topographical map of
our section as information for the rail
road kings. Rumor has it that a di
rect proposition has been made to build
a railroad which will reach Edgefield
village, provided the citizens will fur
nish a given amount of capital, about
forty thousand dollars.
How beautiful aud inviting are “the
grapes,” and yet we very much fear
they are “sour,” unless Augusta will
consent to assist her orphan sister.
If we can secure the Constitutiona
list to advocate our cause amongst
the business men of Augusta, we feel
sure of success. Say, Messrs. Editors,
shall Edgefield have a railroad?
The weather has been very unfavor
able for the crops. Tho oat crop,
however, looks very well and promises
au abundant yield. Cotton looks quite
sick. Planters are now “tunning
around” and “chopping out” and “if
wo have growing weather” the cotton
crop will improve.
A distinguished member of the Edge
field Bar, Maj. W. T. Gary, has recently
made Augusta his home. We com
mend him as a gentleman in every
way worthy of the confidence of the
good people of Augusta.
Wo are pleased to note the prosperi
ty of “tho Constitutionalist” and we
notice the fact that your paper is uow
furnishing an increased amount of read
ing matter. The editorials are charac
terized by energy and life and truth.
Continue to vindicate the good people
of our State, who have no political or
gan, save a few county newspapers
like our dear oid Advertiser, and you
will retain that good opinion which you
have already achieved and which you
can scarcely hope to increase.
The enterprise in establishing a South
Carolina Department iu your journal
is warmly commended by your old
friends, and will make new friends for
you. D.
On Sunday last the Presbyterian and
Methodist congregations of Darlington
Courthouse united in communion ser
vices under the Rev. Mr. Chrietzberg,
presiding older.
The Governor lias pardoned Geo.
Thompson, of Fairfield county, con
victed of larceny in 1872, and sentenced
by Judge Rutland to five years iu the
penitentiary. The pardon was recom
mended by the prosecutors, the grand
jury aud Judge T. J. Mackey.
The Barn well-Black ville war is in a
very muddled condition. Some say
that the majority in favor of Blackville
was two hundred aud seventy-six, and
others place the figures, at twelve hun
dred. Would it not be a good compro
mise for the county to have two Court
Houses.
The revival of the old Ku-Klux prose
cutions was begun, by the arrest in
Greenville, on Friday last, of Mr. D.
0. Dendy, on a charge of murder, al
leged to have been committed in Lau
rens county, in 1870. The accused was
released on 83,000 bail. The alleged
murder is said to have been committed
in the year 1870, during what is known
as the Ku-Klux riots.
The colored firemen of Columbia
raised 8717 for the expense of their re
cent tournament, which enabled them
to liquidate all the bills presented
against them, and lefta balance of 8186,
which was divided between the two
companies. This has the ring of busi
ness. It is rarely that a balance is left
over In any case, but to see it account
ed for is wonderful.
.An old citizen of Vermont observes
that when a post office clerk gets too
high-nosed to lick a stamp on to a letter
it is time that the country had a change
of administration.
Respect for royalty seems to be de

the necessity for a cyclopaedia :
Every one that reads, every one that min
gles in society, is constantly meeting with
allusions to subjects on which lie needs
and desires further information. In conver
sation. in trade, in professional life, on the
farm, in the family, questions are contin
ually arising, which no man, well-read or
not, can always satisfactorily answer. If
the facilities for reference are at hand.thoy
are consulted, and not only is the curiosity
gratitied and the stock of knowledge in
creased, but perhaps information is gained
and ideas are suggested that will directly
contribute to the business success of the
party concerned.
Rut how are those facilities for reference
to be had ? Ho w are the million to pro
cure a Library ? How are they to obtain
the means of informing themselves on
every point in which they may be interest
ed ; of satisfying themselves with respect
to persons and places, questions of art and
science, religion and politics, literature and
philosophy, agriculture, commerce, and
manufactures? How can the working
man hope to bring within Lis reach the
whole circle of sciences, and every point of
human knowledge as developed up to the
present moment ? We answer, by sub
scribing to the AMERICAN CYCLOPAEDIA
A Cyclopaedia is pre-eminently tne work
for our country and generation. No one
has time to grope among a hundred differ
ent works for overt fact required, without
the certainty of finding it at last. When a
Cyclopaedia, embracing every important
subject, and having its topics alphabetical
ly arranged, not a moment is lost. The
matter in question is found at <>nee, di
gested, condensed, stripped of all that is
irrelevant and unnecessary, and verified
by a comparison of tiie best authorities.
Moreover, while only men of fortune can
collect a library complete in all the depart
ments of knowledge, a Cyclopseeia, worth
in|itself, for purposes ■ >f reference, at least,
a thousand volumes, is witnin the reach of
all—the clerk, the merchant, the profes
sional man, the farmer, the mechanic. In
a country like ours, where the humblest
may be called to responsible pusitionsje
quiring intelligence and general informa
tion, the value of such a work canuot be
over-estimated.
how to get a library.
The “American Cyclopaedia” is in fact a
library in itsoif. It is a knowledge of the
centuries boiled down; the essence of all
books crystal ized. It stands on the shelves
ready to answer briolly every conceivable
question in physics, History, politics, art,
philosophy, and what not; to furnish pre
cisely the lnfornnv.ion wanted oil almost
every possible subject; to turn yoor child
ren's wide-eyed wondering into the best of
schoolmasters; to make of every question
sprung in the family eiiele an instructive
lessou; to convert your guesses into posi
tive knowledge; to give you in brief para
graphs the result of other men’s years of
toilsome investigation. It is everything iu
little, and no skill is necessary to the find
ing of the particular thing its owner may
happen to want. It is far more truly one
of the necessaries of life than are many of
tho things which wo commonly mean by
that phrase.
Tho work has been entirely rewritten by
the ablest writers on every subject, printed
from new typo, and illustrated with oeve
ral thousand engravings aud colored litli
graphic maps, it is issued every two
months, beginning July, 1873, aud will be
completed in sixteen volumes -ten volumes
now ready—which are payable only upon
the delivery of each volume, so that the
cost, which prevents most people from
buying a Cycloptedia, is thus divided into
small instalments, which will be scarcely
noticed. It is not obligatory to take all
the volumes now published upon the firot
dolivercry; a volume may be delivered
once a month, or once in two months, at
the optic nof tho subscriber. The question
is only, how much cdn be spared each
month ? Throe dollars a mouth, which is
only ten cents a day, the price of a segar,
will pay for a complote set of tho Cyeio
paidia by the time of its completion. Then
there will be something substantial saved,
and a storehouse of knowledge, indeed a
Universal Library in itself, secured, with
but little effort or sacrifice.
