THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, Jnue 29, 1875.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
Several Sunday morning dailies con
tain a special from Cuthbert stating
that in the scandal case against Hon.
John T. Clark, he was acquitted. What
the case was they do not say.
The Macon Volunteer Battalion will
go to Milledgeville to-day upon an ex
cursion, to show off their uniforms,
and cut a big swell generally over
that ancient capital of “freedmen re
fugees and abandoned lands.”
The LaGrange Reporter calls atten
tion to a defect in the law to prevent
cruelty to animals. It now provides
that a conviction only carries with it a
tine, and if an oath of insolvency is
made there can be no punishment at
all.
The Eatonton Press and Messenger
and the Milledgeville Union and Re
corder nominate Herschel V. Johnson
for Governor. If he will sell a load of
shucks of his own raising, the Haw
kinsviile Dispatch will also nail his
colors to its masthead.
Columbus Times: M. Mobley, we
leain from Dr. Bruce, died at his
residence, Wisdom’s store, on Thursday
last, from the effect of pistol shot
wounds, received several weeks since,
in an encounter with Mr. Morrison, a
school teacher from Southwest Virgin
ia, who recently taught a school in Troup
couuty. Mr. Morrison was deeply
pained on hearing of the sad fate of
Mr Mobley, and the citizens of Harris
county mourn the loss of a good
citizen.
Eatonton Press and Messenger: Du
ring the last Spring there were sold in
Eatonton,to farmers of Putnam and Jas
per counties six hundred and four tons
of guanos of different brands. This
does not include the agency of Mr. Jas.
C. Denham, who sells, every year, large
quantities of Merryrnan’s. Our recol
lection is that there was used last year
from the Eatonton Depot a small num
ber over seven hundred tons, quite ofie
hundred moie thau the present, but
the last year’s account included esti
mated sales by Mr. Denham.
A correspondent of the Macon Tele
graph says the lessees of the State
Road recently took a ride of observa
tion over the road. After getting
heavily steamed up they concluded to
run the engine, and going forward dis
missed the engineer and his firemen,
when Gen. Mcßae took charge of the
throttle and Brown, Johnson and Ben.
Hill the wood Soon the engine was
let out at the rate of one mile a min
ute, and fairly flew up the track. It
didn’t take Joe Brown long to come to
the conclusion, however, that the regu
lar engineer had better be called back
to bis post, and that a man who runs
a train had best not have an intimate
acquaintance with John Barleycorn.
Macon Telegraph: There must have
been a crop of hogs hid out somewhere
and slaughtered last fall in the country
below this point. We have never heard
there was, nor where, but figures never
lie, and figures indicat e such a condi
tion of affairs. From January Ist,
1874, to May 31st, 1874, the Central
Railway brought to this city from the
West 5,770,995 pounds, against 4,496,-
284 from January Ist, 1875, to May 31st,
1875—showing a decrease of 1,274,711
pounds. These are cheerful figures,
certainly. It is also the opinion that
the decrease will be still more marked
during the summer as compared with
the same months last year. Selali!
The creditors of the Scofield Rolling
Miil held a meeting at Atlanta on Satur
day. Says the Constitution: After many
propositions there was finally agreed,
as a compromise, in substance, that the
bondholders should postpone their
claims for four years ; in the meantime
that the creditors should run the mill,
keeping it insured, paying taxes, etc.,
and dividing the net profits between
the creditors and coupons due the bond
holders, after paying laborer’s liens,
amounting to SIB,OOO. There was much
discussion over the receiver, Judge
Loclirane insisting on Mr. Goodnow,
and bond creditors on Dr. Angier. As
a compromise we understand Major
Leyden was commended. Work will
be resumed on the sth of July.

Southern Mutual Insurance Company.
[Athens Watchman.]
The twenty-seventh annual meeting
of the stockholders of this highly pros
perous and prudently managed' home
company was held at the office in this
city on Tuesday of last week.
The old officers were all re-elected,
as follows :
Hon. Y. L. G. Harris, President and
Treasurer.
CoJ. Stevens Thomas, Secretary.
W. W. Thomas, Assistant and Ad
juster.
A. E. Griffeth, Book keeper.
We believe there were no changes in
the Board of Directors.
From reports submitted, the follow
ing facts appear in reference to the
past and present condition of the com
pany :
Growth of the business and means of the
company for the past nine years, begin
ning with the liscal year erdiug May 1,
1867, when the business of the country
WB.s assuming its normal condition alter
the late civil war:
The net premium receipts
for the year ending May 1,
1807 $137,037 83
The net premium receipts
for the year ending May 1,
1875 224,430 9G
Cash value of the assets of
the company May 1, 1875 . 582,593 12
Losses and dividends paid
in nine years 1,067,782 27
Average dividends for nine
years 35 per cent
Average dividends of 184
companies doing business
in State of New York for
sixteen years .....10 60-100 pr. ct
The percentage of expenses
to premium receipts for
the New lorkc mpanies,
1874 33 15-100 pr. ct.
For the Southern Mutual,
1874 23 03 100 pr. ct.
The percentage of ability, or ratio of
assets to amount at risk :
For New York companies, $2.39 each,
SIOO at risk.
For Southern Mutual, $3.53 each,
SIOO at risk.
We congratulate the able officers of
the company upon the above favorable
showing—demonstrating that its affairs
have been managed with great pru
dence.
It is undeniable that the affairs of
tho company have been managed with
consummate ability, but at the same
time something is due to the fact that
risks at the South are much less thau
where population is crowded. Our
towns, like the country, are thinly set
tled, and we never have such destrue- *
tive conflagrations as are frequent at
the North and West.
The dividend of fifty per cent, de
clared this year reduces the rate of in
surance one-half—so that those who
want cheap and safe insurance will
Keek it with the Southern Mutual. But
that company has reached a point
where it does not find it necessary to
solicit busines-s. It has more risks
offered thaa it is willing to take.
“Can’t help it, sir,” said a Boston
hotel clerk to a Massachusetts Sena
tor, who came in about midnight to get
a room. “Can’t help it, sir, if you’re
the Vice-President himself. Why we’ve
got ten Governors of State sleeping on
dining room tables, thirty odd mayors
lying around on parlor floors, and a
hundred country editors snoring like
bulls of Bashan on the back stairs.”—

LETTER FROM COKESBURT.
Celebration of St. John’s Day—Crops—
Accidents, &c.
[SpecialCorrespondenee Constitutionalist.]
T ' Cokebbuby, S. C., June 26,1875.
St. John’s Day (June 24th) was cele
brated here by the members of Bascom
Lodge, and a large number of visiting
brethren of neighboring lodges in Ab
beville and Anderson counties.
The meeting was called to order by
the W. M. of Bascom Lodge. After
prayer by the Rev. S. Barber, James A.
Hoyt, Grand Master of the Grand
Lodge of South Carolina, was intro
duced to the brethren and the public.
Mr. Hoyt made a short address and
gracefully introduced the orator of the
day, Augustine T. Srnythe, of Charles
ton, Most Excellent Grand High Priest
of the Grand Chapter of Royal Arch
Masons of South Carolina.
Mr. Srnythe chose for his address
the character, virtues and life of St.
John the Evangelist, the patron Samt
of Masonry. The address exhibited
profound thought and was eminently
suggestive to the craft. In discussing
the character of St. John he was led
to speak of Free Masonry in general,
and entertained bis audience with quite
a learned discourse. The closing por
tion of the address was directed to the
ladies.
I have never heard anything more
felicitously and delicately handled than
this portion of the address.
You will pardon me if I reproduce a
few of his happy hits, for the benefit of
your lady readers. Among tho many
reasons given why the ladies are not
allowed to join our noble Order, the
Speaker remarked that one of the
leading ideas of Masonry was to make
men observe the moral and social vir
tues, and especially to love their fel
low men. He argued that the ladies
did not need to take an oath to make
them practice this virtue, as they were
sure to.love their fellow men any ivay,
without the aid of a lodge.
Again, if the ladies were admitted
amoug the craft, the brethren would
indulge in so much sisterly love as to
feave but little for the brothers, and
thus violate one of our important
tenets. These sallies provoked many
smiles, and, judging from the ap
plause, the ladies were satisfied with
the explanation.
There were many sparkling gems of
thought throughout the address,
more than enough to warrant the craft
in soliciting its publication for the ben
efit of those who were deprived of the
pleasure of hearing it spoken.
After the address a sumptuous diu
uer was served. The following toast
was given to the Grand Lodge of South
Carolina: “'Prominent among the Grand
Lodges of the United States, as the ex
ponent of the great principles of Ma
sonry, we hail with pleasure the pres
ence among us of its illustrious Grand
Master, Jas. A. Hoyt.”
Mr. Hoyt responded to this toast in
a speech that brought the house down.
It was a source of regret that our
friends had to break up about 4 P. M.
so that they could take the train to At
lanta. However, everybody seemed
pleased, and the day will loug be re
membered by those who participated in
the festival as one of the most pleas
ant they have ever spent.
Crops.
We have had any quantity of rain
the past week. Much fencing and
several bridges have been washed
away. The consequence is that in
many portions of the county there is a
complaint that the grass is about to
overrun the growing Crop. The dam
age of late rains, in connection with
that caused by tho tornado, is very ap
parent. One gentleman near this place
had fifteen acres killed. There is also
complaint about the injury to the
wheat and oats, which had beeu lately
harvested. The cotton crop is at least
two weeks later than last year, and, I
might add, very grassy ; still, I think a
fine crop will be made. The depressed
condition of trade, and the low price
of cotton fabrics, with the failure of so
many large dealers iu England, admon
ishes us to expect low prices for the
growing crop. The misfortune is that
the farmers cannot control the crop,
but must sell as fast as they gather it
to pay their debts and satisfy liens. If
a more diversified system is not
adopted, by which there will be less
cotton planted aud more grasses and
corn, we will always be poor and de
pendent.
Accidents.
It is reported that one of our colored
politicians was killed in the late storm.
Some people will bo wicked enough to
cry out and call this retributive jus
tice, when the fact is, it is only an ac
cident.
A little son of Mr. Lamar, of this
place, was shot through the hand while
carelessly handling a pistol. I have
heard of another from the same cause
in a different part of the county. The
frequency of these accident-.' ought to
teach parents the danger of lettiDg
children have pistols. But when it is
so common for those of riper years to
carry weapons, it does not surprise us
to find children imitating their ex
ample.
Cokesbury Conference School.
The next session will begin Monday
next. It is the intention to enlarge the
building, and give it the dignity of a
college. It can, by energy, be made
one of the most useful institutions of
learning in the State. We advise par
ents to send their children here. Frof.

The Boston Centennial. —Nearly all
the W. L. I.’s who participated iu the
recent Centennial at Bunker Hill re
turned hither iu the steamship South
Carolina yesterday morning, having left
New York on Wednesday afternoon.—
The steamer had head winds during
the entire trip, making the voyage
somewhat long and monotonous. Much
of the tediousness was relieved, how
ever, by the courtesy of the officers of
the vessel and Purser Wagner.
Large Excursion Party.— Some six
hundred persons arrived in this city
yesterday via the South Carolina Rail
road from Augusta and other poits en
route. They took lodgings at the hotels,
private boarding houses, and at private
residences. During the day, which was
clear but rather warm, they visited
places of interest in the c*jty and also
Sullivan’s lalaad, and seemed much
pleased with what they observed. The
party left last evening by the 9:30 train,
The object of the excursion was to raise
a balance of fisfe thousand dollars due
on the uew school of St. Patrick’s
Church, Augusta, which it is believed
will be liquidated by the proceeds of
the tickets sold.
Arraignment of Hayne.
. [Aiken Courier-Journal.]
It was proven at the preliminary ex.
animation that C. D. Hayne, acting as a
Commissioner of Election for Aiken,
received tho bills of manager’s clerks
for coliection. This bill was certified
to by the Board of Commissioners of
election, aud returned to Hayne, one of
their number, to collect and turn the
funds over to them. While in the
custody of Hayne it was altered in
three respects; first, bs r inserting there.
■ in the name of a party who was not
I entitled to any pay; secondly, inserting
amounts opposite the names of other
parties, whom the board had
refused to certify to, and in
creasing the amounts opposite
some names and deducting from the
amounts opposite others. In every in
stance where the names of the persons
and amounts were inserted, and where
they were increased, they were Repub
licans, and where they were decreased
they were Conservatives. And after
collecting a part of the bill the vir
tuous Commissioner failed to turn over
to the Board, as he was instructed and
in duty bound to do, but privately dis
bursed it to himself and the Republi
can managers and partisans, whose
names he had inserted in the bill.
It is the opinion of the bar of Aiken
that Commissioner Hayne is not only
guilty of official misconduct, whereof he
was charged, but that he might also
properly be prosecuted for forgery, but
the consciencious trial justice who in
vestigated the case could see nothing
wrong in this. But Hayne is the Sena
tor from this county, and our trial jus
tice’s term of office depends in a great
measure upon his will. Hence the jus
tice may have considered that the re
tention of his official head upon his
shoulders was a good reason for de
ciding as he did ; but the community
is not helped by his construction of the
criminal law. It amounts to a prem
ium on disbouesty and corruption.
Eton and the Evangelists. The
World heartily approves of the refusal
to permit Messrs. Moody aud Sankey
to exploit their oratory before the
Eton students. Says the editor: “The
Eton boys are not yet, it may be pre
sumed, the most desperately sinful and
abandoned of Her Majesty’s subjects,
nor the most in need of the Moody and
Sankey sort of exhortation aud psalm
ody. They are, in fact, hardly out of
the lollipop period. Their young
breathings are yet sweetly odorous of
mother’s milk. To go among those
weauings with such resounding tidings
as those which are borne by Messrs.
Moody and Sankey, and which, we have
no doubt, do lots of good when pro
claimed at the light time and place,
would be as absurd as it would be to
invade the hushed seclusion of the
uursery with one of Gilmore’s brass
bands.”
A careful observer, who has devoted
years to studying the phenomena of
intemperance, says it is a curious fact
that an old toper always keeps his
mouth shut in a rain storm.
Maud Oswald got tired of standing
twelve hours a day in a Troy store and
left. She now rides in the Hippodrome
with a tine salary aud the assurance of
having her surgeon’s bill paid.
“ Lei tueurs de cochons ” sounds very
pretty as the title of a recent painting
by Millet, but come to translate it into
English, “ Tho Hog Killers,” and it
don’t sound so romantic..
For a man wiio has stooped so low

A Library of Universal In
formation.
The American Cyclopaedia.
Entirely Revised and Fully Illustrated.
With Maps and Engravings.
Complete in Sixteen Valumes.
Edited by GEO. RIPLEY and CHARLES
A. DANA.
THE NECESSITY FOR A CYOLOP.EDIA :
Every one that reads, every one that min
gles in society, is constantly meeting with
allusions to subjects on which he needs
aud 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
nut, can always satislactorily answer. If
the facilities for reference are at hand,they
are consulted, and not only is the curiosity
gratified and tiie 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.
but how are these facilities for reference
to be had i 1 How 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 aud
philosophy, agriculture, commerce, and
manufactures t -How can the working
man hope to bring within Ms reach tho
whole circle of sciences, and every point of
human knowledge as developed up to the
present moment? Wo 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 ever* fact lequired, without
the certainty of iinding 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 once, di
gested, condensed, stripped of all 1 hat is
irrelevant and unnecessary, and verified
by a comparison of the bestauthprities.
Moreover, while only men of fortune can
collect a library complete in all the depart
ments of knowledge, a Cyclopaeeia, worth
inlitseif, for purposes of reference, at least,
a thousand volumes, is within 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 positions re
quiring intelligence and general informa
tion, the value of such a work cannot be
over-estimated.
HOW TO GET A LIBRARY.
The “American Cyclopaedia” is in fact a
library in itself. It is a knowledge of the
centuries boiled down; the essence of all
books crystalized. It stands on the shelves
ready to answer briefly every conceivable
question in physics, history, politics, art,
philosophy, and what not; to furnish pre
cisely the information wanted on almost
every possible subject; to turn your child
ren’s wide-eyed wondering into the best of
schoolmasters; to make of every question
sprung in the family ciicie an instructive
lesson; 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
the things which we commonly mean by
that phrase.
The work has been entirely rewritten by
the ablest writers on every subject, printed
from new type, and illustrated with seve
ral thousand eagraviugs and colored lith
graphlc maps. It is issued every two
mouths, beginning July, 1873, and 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 Oyelopeedla, is thus divided into
small instalments, which will be scarcely
noticed. It is uot obligatory to take all
the volumes now published upon the fliot
deliverery; a volume may be delivered
once a month, or once in two months, at
the option of the subscriber. The question
is only, how ipuch can be spared each
month ? Three dollars a month, which is
only ten cents a day, the price or a segar,
wifi pay for a complete set of the Cyclo
paedia by the time or 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.

Plymouth Will Stand By Him.
[Buffalo Courier.]
There came to hear Beach a good deacon of
Plymouth,
As pious a man as you’d meet in a day;
He listened a while, and then making a wry
mouth,
Looked scornfully round him then hast
ened away,
Saying, as he went out, “It is really outra
geous,
The language this lawyer’s permitted to
use;
But one thing he can’t do, this Beach the
rampageous,
He can’t bust old Plymouth or damage
the pews.
“No matter what happens, we will stand by
our pastor.
Let Beach and the Tiltonites talk as they
will;
We ain’t apprehensive of any disaster,
But let the worst come and we’ll stick to
him still.
We feel pretty sure of the jury-box sages,
And Henry himself ain’t got nothing to
fear,
For if they convict him we’ll just raise his
wages,
And make ’em at least thirty thousand a
year.”
Before the Verdict and After.
A little time for laughter,
A little time to sing,
A little time to kiss and cling,
And no more kissing after.
A lit le time for seh ming
Love’s unperfected schemes;
A little time for golden dreams,
Then no more any dreaming.
A little while ’twas given
To me to have thy love;
Now, like a ghost, alone I move
About a ruined heaven.
A little time for speaking
'Things swe -t to say and hear;
A tl ue to seek and find thee near,
Then no more any seeking,
A little time for saying
Words the I eart breaks to say;
A short time wherein to pray,
Then no more need lor praying.
But long, long yeais to pray in,
And comprehend the whole
Great grief that desolates my soul—
And eternity to sleep in.
