FRIDAY, July 2, 1875.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
McDuffie Journal : Mr. Willie Bacon
has laid on our table the first cotton
bloom of the season, taken from his
plantation near this place. It came out
the 24th iuat., and is, as far as heard
from, the first. Will is an energetic,
industrious young farmer, and is sure
of success.
Sumter Republican: On Saturday af
ternoon a difficulty, the cause of which
we have failed to learn, be
tween Capt. J. L. Adderton and W. C.
Godwin, Esq., in front of the Barlow
House, in which.the last named gentle
man received a verv severe wound in
the left arm from a knife in the hands
of Capt. Adderton.
Atlanta Commonwealth: Apropos of
building, we learn that the resident
mechanics of the city are contemplat
ing the organization of a building asso
ciation on the co-operative plan. They
are reduced to this from the practice
of contractors of hiring tramps and
negroes at inadequate wages, to the ex
clusion of the best mechanics. We wish
them success, for whiie recognizing the
right of contrac tors to hire such labor
as they think best, we are yet in favor
of giving the preference of work to our
resident mechanics.
Gwinnett Herald: Dr. A. J. Shaffer
made this, year on two acres of old
field, taken in two or three years ago,
fifty-four bushels of wheat. * * In
Casts’ District the dogs are reported
to be dying up rapidly. The disease is
peculiar, and generally eommences
with a fit. Some uneasiness is felt for
fear this disease may terminate in hy
drophopia. If only the sheep-killing
portion of the canine family would die
out, there would be cause for rejoicing.
* * There is great complaint in
Martin’s district of sheep-killing dogs.
We are informed that nearly half the
sheep in one neighborhood has been
killed within the last two months. An
old shot gun is the best remedy for this
grievance.
Griffin News: Notwithstanding the
late start in getting the crops pitched,
our crops generally, through this sec
tion of country, look remarkably well.
The wheat haivest has been over an
average, and the crop well saved. Oats
are only tolerable, but will help out
amazingly. Corn is doing well, and cot
ton likewise. Numbers of the leading
farmers in Pike and Butts, and Spald
ing and otner counties, report very
favorably, and some are enthusiastic.
Some prophecy a larger crop of cotton
and corn than for years. Corn pros
pects are certaiuly flattering, but we
never know what cotton will do until
the crop is made and gathered. On
the whole, we can safely say that the
crop prospect is very cheering in this
region of country.
Columbus Enquirer: The stock last
night was the same as last September ;
receipts, 2,862 behind those of last
year; stock, S7l less than in 1874.
After this date last season, Columbus
warehoused 567 bales. If we get as
much this year, (will not do it by half,)
the total receipts for the season will be
58,228 against 61,099 in 1873-74. * *
A small boy drove into town yesterday
a small donkey, loaded to a small cart,
which contained small but elegant
peaches. It was a diminutive concern
j; 11 round except the price asked for
the fruit. * * A merchant who has
traveled extensively throughout this
section reports corn on uplauds well
nigh ued. Cotton is stroug and
healthy looking but backward. With
good seasons a good crop can be made.
He has seen cotton in other years
about this date look one hundred per
cent, better.
Savannah Advertiser: We do not
recollect to have seen an editorial in
either of the Savannah journals on the
subject of cotton in which it was as
serted the crop would be a total failure.
In fact we know nothing of the kind
has appeared in the columns of the
tdverti er, either original or clipped,
which took that positiou in regard to
the growing crop. With the facilities
that cotton men have for obtaining in
formation relative to cotton we do not
believe that they could be jgulled
in any such manner as above stated.

Atlanta Herald: There is no million
aire m Atlanta, outside of newspaper
meu. Gen. Alfred Austell is the wealth
iest man in the city, beyond doubt we
suppose. He is worth not far from
s iOO.OOO. We say that he is probably
the richest man in the city; we should
; -ay that he certainly was were’it not
for ex-Govemor Joseph E. Brown. One
must always be more careful when he
makes up an estimate into which this
gentleman enters, either positively or
comparatively. In the Algebra of the
world, he is the “unknown quantity.”
No man can measure him. The Grand
Lama is not hedged about to-day with
a more impenetrable dignity than
he. With a smile whose blandnese
diffuses all direct query, and a
suavity that challenges your admira
tion, while it dodges your curriosity,
he wards i >ff investigation as a tin roof
throws off the sunbeams. He is the
one iceberg that chills the ardor of all
Interviewers. As to his wealth, he may
be worth a million; he may be worth a
quarter of a million. He pays taxes in
the city on about §IOO,OOO. The most
reliable information puts “his” fortune
at §300,000. Col. Geo. Adair pays taxes
on more property than any man in the
city. He settles for §212,000, of which
it is said some portion is held as agent.
Mr. John Ryan is the largest bona fide
city tax-payer, he representing about
8175,000. J. H. James, about §165.000.
Richard Peters, over §150,000. W. A.
Moore and E. W. Marsh, about §145,000
each, follow close behind. Gen Austell
pays taxes on about §130,000 city prop
erty; Col. L. P. Grant, on §125,000; Col.
John T. Grant, on §115,000, and E. E.
Rawson, something over §IOO,OOO.
Senator Spencer’s Dead-Beat Al
lies. —With the downfall of Senator
Spencer, politically, in Alabama, fol
lows his cohorts. Among the dead
beats imported by him to control legis
lative votes was Lon H. Mayer, a resi
dent of Cincinnati. Spencer had him
appointed Collector of Internal Reve
nue for the First District of Alabama.
He at once entered largely into swind
ling operations. He borrowed money
among such of the presumed faithful
as were foolish enough to consider his
autograph worth anything. Those
duped now wail their own simplicity.
One of the creditors advertises that he
will sell the note of Mayer, with a face
value of §455, for 20 cents on the dol
lar. This is only one of the many in
stances of the kind, and yet the earpet
bagging debtor has the effrontery to
retain his office, while Spencer, his mas
ter, is honored as chairman of the Sen
ate District ©f Columbia Committee,
whose mission will be to please “Boss”
Shepherd and Gen. Babcock. —Special

SOUTH CAROLINA.
LETTER FROM MIDWAY.
Gov. Chamberlain and Reform—“ Give
the Old Man Another Chance.”
Midway, S. C., July Ist, 1875.
It is a wise and just measure that
you are not responsible for the views
or notions of your correspondents, or
you would have incurred many jars
and disagreements, and therefore do I
blame all persons and papers that
evince a spirit of fault finding against
any person in office who had been ac
cused or proved bad in former times,
but is now doing his duty to the satis
faction of the greatest majority of non
est and intelligent, citizens.
I now beg to explain that I allude to
Gov. Chamberlain and the correspond
ent of the New York Duy Book, Nemo,
writing from Columbia, April 4,1875,
which appears in your South Carolina
columns of 30th June. This corres
pondent must be a good and warm
iriend of ex-Gov. Moses, or else a bitter
enemy to Chamberlain, when he tells
us that Moses’ administration was bet
ter than Chamberlain’s. For myself, I
am glad to tell you that I never held
office, nor do I ever wish or expect to
hold any office. I have not the good
(misfortune) fortune to know Gov
ernors Moses or Chamberlain, only
by disreputation, or reputation,
but I live among the people,
and often hear the views of in
telligent and sensible business men of
t he country—and it is so plain and pal
pable that Chamberlain’s administra
tion gives the country so much better
encouragement of hope for reform than
Moses’ did—that they feel a spirit of
relief and contentment, especially the
granting of pardons to criminals. In
the administration of Moses a criminal
could go into court without the ex
pense or trouble of procuring counsel,
as they felt like a boy gcflng to school,
certain to be turned out in a short
while. The county commissioners that
were convicted here last year, when on
their way to the peuitentiary, passing
through this place, looked as happy
aud smiling as if they were going on
an excursion. So it was. The State
did not benefit much by their labor,
and I believe it did not cost as much to
procure a pardon from Governor Moses
as an excursion ticket from your city
to Charleston, and many men would be
made happy could they elect Moses
Governor of Purgatory. They would
scarcely speculate on the advantages of
going to Heaven. I am no champion
of Governor Chamberlain, and I do
not know much of his honesty or ras
cality ; but I know pardons are not
readily got from him, and I think, too,
that he strongly opposed an increase of
taxation.
My purpose, however, is not to praise
Gov. Chamberlain, or to abuse Moses,
but to condemn all men who show a
disposition to find fault and abuse
men who are trying to reform and are
an improvement on their predecessors.
Scripture tells us when a man tries to
reform, his old sins shall be blotted
out aud forgiven—common sense would
also teach us that no matter how bad
a man has been if he forsakes his old
habits aud tries to do better, he is to
be encouraged and upheld, instead of
always throwing up his past misdeeds.
It is the very thing to make him go
back to his old bad habits, for he will
conclude that his amendments are
called hypocrisy, and therefore it
would be no use to reform.
I say in our condition and circum
stances, especially when such a great
majority of voters are Radicals, it is
the business and dnty of every friend
of reform to uphold aud encourage
every official, uo matter where he is
from or whatever is his politics, if he
proves one degree better than his pre
decessor. So if it were left to me I
would beg the editors that are friends
of reform to throw a thick veil over
the past misdeeds of men if they are
only honest and sincere iu their pres
ent efforts at reform, which we all
know is sadly needed in our State.
I now leave to your good judgment
whether my views are worth publish
ing or consigned to the waste basket.

LETTER FROM BARNWELL.
All the Radicals and Leslieites Hot for
Poor “Virgil"—The Weather, Ac.
I From our Special Correspondent J
Barnwell, C. H., S. C. (
June 30, 1875. )
As I have not written anything for
your valuable and time-honored col
umns for some time, I beg permission
at this date to say “just a few words,”
in order that I might again get iuto my
old way of writing, wheD I will “drop”
you a “few lines” semi-oecasionally.
To begin at the beginning, let me in
form you that the dusky sons of Afric’s
sunny clime met at this place a few
days ago for the purpose of electing a
chairman of the Radical squad in this
vicinity, but as the aspirants for the
exalting “posish” were so numerous
they failed of their intent, and the dis
graceful harangue-meeting came to a
close in a grand tragedy of fisticuff and
pistol fighting, resulting in the wound
ing in the cranium of a former zealous
worker of that infinitely notorious
scoundrel, the absconded C. P. Leslie.
As usual in such cases, the offended
and offending parties have each sought
redress in the trial justices’ courts ;
but no conclusion can yet be conceived
of, as neither party is over-burdened
with “stamps,” which in many cases
has great weight as to the decisions
of these high magistrates ; a few ex
ceptions, of course.
Going for “ Virgil.”
It appears that the correspondent
from this place for your cotemporary,
the Chronicle and Sentinel, has “tread
on somebody’s corns,” and not only on
one but several, for the whole of Les
lie’s crew in and around Blaekville, and
possibly all who ever voted for him at
the last election, have sworn vengeance
against the poor fellow, and new rumors
are afloat every day as to what will
soon be his (“Virgil’s”) inevitable doom.
Some say he is to be cremated, others
that his toe and finger naiis are to be
pulled out and his eyes punched with a
shoemaker’s awl; then again it is heard
that he will be hanged by the neck, ku
kluxed, I guess; or, that a mill stone is
to be fastened to the poor boy and liis
body consigned to a mill pond to make
food for the fishes, alligators, 1 errapins,
etc. Oh ! what a terrible condition he
is in. Can’t the “Georgia Tigers” come
forthwith to his rescue ? Do see, please,
for he’s frightened almost out of his
boots (?) “ Virgil ”is known to some of
your “city folk” by his nom de plume,
and many friends there who would
doubtless like to learn of him concern
ing this matter, and I will, therefore,
keep them posted as to all further de
velopments, if any.
The Weather and Crops.
During the past week or so rains
have been plentiful in this section, and
just in proper time for the crops, which
are all exceedingly clean and free from
grass, and which are now doing very
well as a general thing; but here and
there the eye meets an extra fine pros
pect, while you may also observe a
field of corn or eotton, belonging to
some trifling and lazy “loyalite,” that
will hardly tax the brain of the “mas
ter” as to where he shall be able to
find hands sufficent to gather it. The
weather is quite warm down here just
now, but most people console them
selves by saying that they might get to
a warmer clime some of these times,
and had better endeavor to become a
little used to the heat,
Thero is to be a grand school exami
nation, dinner, ball, etc., at Brunson’s
Station, P. li. li. Saturday next. Our
learned friend, Col. Robt. Aldrich, i8
the “speaker of the day”—something
fine may therefore be anticipated. Will
send you an account thereof.
Carolinian.
GENIUS AND MADNESS.
The Valley of the Shadow of Death-
Remarkable Suicides.
[Cincinnati Gazette.]
Dryden long ago declared that “great
wits are sure to madness near allied.”
The truth of the saying has been re
peatedly proved in the eccentricities
and follies of men who, in someone or
two respects, were entitled to the ad
miration of their followers. Sometimes
it happens that peculiarities which
would pass unnoticed in ordinary men
are magnified by their close alliance
with traits of uncommon brilliancy. A
day laborer who carried spiders in a
snuff box for the purpose of eating
them would be regarded as a disgust
ing brute, but when the great astrono
mer, Lalande, did the same thing, he
provoked both wonder and pity.
In other cases the peculiar sensitive
ness that generally accompanies high
mental 'organization leads to positive
aberrations. Where self-esteem is
strong in men of genius, opposition
rouses their antagonism too often on
insuffiqjent grounds, and to an absurd
degree. The quarrels of authors have
furnished material to the elder Dis
raeli for one of his most interesting
chapters. Where the aggressive ele
ment is wanting, the man of genius
shrinks from all controversy with won
derful timidity. An assault drives him
to despair, and a melancholy ensues
like that which follows overwork or
disappointment.
The suicides of Chatterton, and Hay
don, the painter, the one a youthful
and the other an aged victim of poverty
and disappointment; and of Hugh Mil
ler, driven to madness by too long pro
tracted study, are familiar to many of
our readers. Another instance of self
destruction has just occurred at Rome,
which has plunged the Roman capital
in grief and horror. Juvara, an engraver
of the highest rank, a pupil of Toschi,
engraver of the Madonna Della Regia of
Naples, and of Mancinelli’s St. Charles
Borromeo, and Director of the Regia
Calcografla, or royal engraving house,
committed suicide on the 29th ult. The
fact that so distinguished a man, who
had reached his sixty-seventh year, was
happily married and in good circum
stances generally, should put an end to
his life, was surprising. It is true that
there was a suicidal propensity in the
family, but he seemed to have outlived
it. Very likely he would have died
peaceably on hi3 bed had not jealous
rivals greatly worried him with abusive
anonymous letters. As it was, he put
an end to his life in the most horribly
original manner. Locking himself in
his studio at 8 o’clock in the morning,
he cut a vein in his foot, caught the
blood iu a dish, aud dipping a brush iu
it recorded a strange journal of his dy
ing moments, or rather hours, for
death came slowly. The following are
extracts :
“8 y 3 o’clock. With a serene and cheerful
conscience I am awaiting my death.
“10 o’clock. Death has not yet arrived.
I now cut the vein in my arm.”
At half-past 10 he wrote :
“How strange! The blood mounts to my
head. God pardon me, for I pardon my
enemies.”
The loss of blood finally restored his
mind iu part. Under date of 2 o’clock
we find :
“ I have recovered my reason. My God,
what have I done! What a rash act! It is
too late, however, to repair the evil. I will
now put an end to myself at once.”
He undoubtedly carried out his reso
lution, for when found, at 4 o’clock, a
revolver was grasped in his hand, the
weapon having been discharged into
his mouth.
Iu addition to the bloody record on
the wall, he left a letter in which, after
telling how aud by whom he had been
tormented, he declared that he forgave
them. As their names are now known,
it is probable that their feeliugs can
not bo of the most agreeable character.
Juvara was greatly respected, and his
tragical death will arouse profound
sympathy for his memory and for his
afflicted wife. His slanderers will
doubtless find the Roman climate un
healthy to them for some time to come.
Women on Horseback Man Fashion.
—The best horsewomen that I have
ever met with are the Hawaiian. They
have no use for the side-saddle, riding
with a grace and freedom which cannot
be very injurious or insecure. Many
of the American and English ladies
visitiug the Sandwich Islands have
adopted the Hawaiian fashion, and pre
fer it to the side-saddle. In fact, it
would be a difficult matter iu this
rough country for a lady to keep her
seat and manage her long habit if she
had to ride in the usual way.—Phila

Margaret.
In the garden I walked; ne’er had I seen
her before;
Under a budding white rose she stood in
the shade of the door;
Quiet and pale was her face, but maidenly
bright were her eyes,
Fair as the newly-born moon, when low in
the easterly skies.
There as I stood by her side, my spirit
happy and free,
Would I had said what I thought, that none
would I marry but thee! ,
The far-off bells were tolling, for ’twas
some one’s funeral day,
Arid in the meadows close hy the mowers
were mowing the hay.
Into the garden I walked; but once had I
seen her before,
Vacant aud still was the house, wide open
was standing the door;
Then silent and listening I went up to the
curtainless bed,
Where she lay shrouded in white, all win
tery, lonely, and doad;
There was a look on tier face, as if she’d
been thinking of me.
“Dear Margaret,” then whispered I, “none
will I marry but thee!”
And the far-off bells were ringing, for ’twas
some one’s wedding day,
And in the meadows close by the mowers
were mowing the hay.
Silent and dark was yon lake, as under the
desolate hill,
Lit by no gleam from the sky, it slumbered
there, drear y and still,
Till, with its swallow-like wing, the wind in
its wandering flight.
Touched into music the reeds, and broke it
* in ripples of light.
Silent and dark was my heart, till suddenly
thrilled by the tone,
Tender and pure, of the voice, which told
me I was not alone.
Yet how I long to be dead, whene’er, on a
.calm Summer day,
The far-off bells are ringing, and the mow
ers are mowing the hay!

FILES
OF THE
“ CONSTITUTIONALIST.”
All persons having bound files
of the "CONSTITUTIONALIST,” bor
rowed from the office, are requested to re
turn them at once. We find many volumes
missing, and it is matter of great impor
tance to get them together. They consti
tute historic fact and dates not to be found
anywhere else. No doubt the missing vol
umes are stored away and their real owner
forgotten.
Hereafter, whilst any one will be allowed
the privilege of inspection and to copy any
article in them, these priceless records of
the past will not be loaned or permitted to
be taken from the office. The first volume
we have is dated July, 1800. We would be
flad to get copies of the paper prior to that
ate for preservation, and such other bound
volumes, since that date, as anybody may
send us.
