The Great Family Medicine of the Age
Thirty years have elapsed since the introduc
tion ot the Pain Killer to the p.uhlic, aud yet at
the pruboai time it is more popular and com
mands a Birger sale than before. Its popularity
is not confined to this country alone ; nil over
the world its beneficial effects in curing the “ills
that flesh is heir to,” are acknowledged and ap
preciated, and as a Pain Killer its fame is limited
to no country, sect nor race. It needs only to
’be known to be prized. Thirty 'years is certain
'ly a long enough time to piwe the efiteflcy of
any medicine, and that the Pain Kilter is de
serving of all its proprietors claim for it, is am
ply proved by the uuparallelled popularity it
ibas attained. It is a sure and effective remedy.

Editorial Vistr.—Sickness, prevented us last
week from alluding to the late visit to our city
and sanctum, of Col. Cary W. Styles, th'e*brill
iant editor of the Albany News.
The Colonel has been tbe subject of some of
the chills, which ever and anon will shake the
hardiest habitue of that lime sink region.
He is in fine spirits however, and a few days
sojourn in our salubrious town, would have
placed him all right again.
The News has been withdrawn from the mar
ket, and we trust will enter upon anew career
of success and usefnlness.

Admitted to Bail.-- William Freeman, who
shot Daniel Taylor the morning of the fire,'has
given the requisite bond for his appearance at
court.
His refusal to escape when the prison 'doors
were thrown open, induced several of our citi
zens to go upon his bond, and thus restore him
to liberty, until the next term of the Superior
Court. /
L_^—:—««»
We are under renewed obligations to one
of the former Editors of thie paper, for the time
ly assistance rendered last week.
His graceful pen and eloquent speech are well
known to our readers, and doubtless they 'will
miss the evidences of bis genius in the present'
issue. Perhaps, however, while the Editor con
tinues on the invalid list, he may be induced for
several weeks to continue his favors.
We will ehueavor, if necessary, to prevail
upon him to do so.
jgf~The Ordinary and Commissioners ap
pointed for the purpose, are busily engaged in
revising the Jury Box. The following comprise
the names of the committee: Judge M.Gorm
ley, Dr. L. C. Sale, O. P. Beall, M. C. Parkcrson
abd W. F. Davis.
Behind the Scenes. —Accompanied by a
brother Editor, at the invitation of Mrs. Hamil"
ton, the accomplished directress and sole origina
tor of the tableaux and beautiful delineations
soon to be represented during commencement
week, we were permitted to view the costumes
and magnificent paraphernalia designed for that
occasion.
Os course it would be improper to forestall
events, and reveal in advance, tbe pleasures and
novelties which tbe public have iu store.
We feel constrained, however, to say, and con'
fidefttly'promise, that the -performances will, in
many rospects, be unique in character and su
perbly beautiful.
Mrs. Hamilton has devoted much time, and
expended large sums in the necessary prepara
tions, and we doubt not an appreciative and over
flowing audience will bail the advent of her
lovely dramatis penonce, on the night of her en
tertainment.
Jail Delivery.— On Friday last the prisoners
confined iu one of the apartments of the new
jail, contrived, by means of some instruments
secreted about them, to force the lock to their
cell, which gave them access to the passage way.
Finding their way obstructed by additional door 8
which they could not force with the means at
hand, they went to the cell Occupied by young
Freeman, and succeeded in forcing his door, thus
liberating him, and taking the door from its
hinges, used the same as a ponderous bat
tering ram, to burst the iuiervening doors, and
make good their escape.
Youbg Frccmati and a negro sentenced for
vagrancy, refuse! tb accept their liberty, and
were found at large in the prison yard.
This high-handed act was perpetrated in the
afternoon, under the broad light of day.
Oiving to the isolated position of our county
prisou, a due regard to the safety of the prison
ers demaads that the janitor should reside with
in its walls, and ever remain at his post. The
county, at heavy expense, has fitted up the low
er stoty as a comfortable home, and surely the
whole object of the new jail will be defeated
-unless it I» occupied, and the prisoners are suita
bly guarded. }
Wete.Mil.inu- vigilant ami efficient Ordinary

Help v<fi Andrew College.— The Editor
pro tempore, this paper, made a stroug appeal
to our peopp last week La behalf of this excel
lent instituipn.
Its chambers are all now filled with occupants,
and from Ea§, West, North and Sonth, the cry
is, still they attracted by the superior edu-
cational advantages which aro afforded, and the
fame of our beautiful village and salubrious
climate. I
On : the low® stevy of the present edifice, a
long range of fnirtmetits were left unfinished,
and even if tb<ip could be thoroughly fitted up,
and completet! the assistance to the Doctor
would btrvery |aterial.
But the whoi- ktrueture needs renovating very
much, while theiddition of a Hall for physical
training, would be a grand desideratum. We
aroTtware that miy are disinclined to give their
money to an iustktion which, though non-sec
tarian iu its •presemfedministration, is still owned
and absolutely codrblloil by the Methodist Con
ference. But in imlity this objection carries but
little tveight with*. 1 ,
Education is thegrand object to be sought af
ter, and shall we alow denominational prejudices
to operate to the iiftiry of our own daughters ?
So do not the pcffle of Macon and Atlanta
think, when even * their corporate capacity, as
well as by private ftnuiflcence, they offer prince
ly sums, to the trustees of pure'y sectarian
colleges, to induce hem to locate within their
limits. -
If we were witho4 any female seminary at
all,‘then would the Writer move heaven and
earth tt> establish sue® an one, as would be whol
ly free from denomiriß|ional bias, and therefore
best adapted to the triles and wants of the com
munity. But here wjhave an institution, con
fessedly one of the belt in the country, already
established,.and ia t| full tide Os successful
operation, -f
Our manifest duty, iereford, ih a small com
munity like this, is to Ink personal preferences
and make the most of »e opportunities within
our reach. Impoverish! as we are, all must see
that it is not only inexYdient, but impossible to
erect and equip after the pat
tern we would select. |
Let ns therefore rally |ts one Man to the sup
port of old Audrew, upd each contribute his
mite for the repairs, an«if needs be, extension
of the college buildings!
The substantial adVaAages of the institution
to the community were forcibly set forth last
week, and all will adraiikhem. Action, action t
now is all that is wantinglo give impetus to the
movement. Let us hive Iby all means.

Cotton looks well where properly cultivated,

Cotton Blooms.— We should have

blooms are quite plentiful on sonie of
our plantations. Messrs' Smith and
Bell, bridge contractors on the South

are also running a plantation a few miles
below this, informed us on Sunday last,
that they had one field of one hundred
aefes nearly knee high, and that blooms
had appeared several days previous.—
Since then similar reports have become
so common that the novelty is worn off.
Chir cotton crops generally are iu
good conditon, but our grain and grass
crops— in the west —are said to be very
poor. Many planters are seriously cab
culating the cost of transferring their

Defence of the People of Geor

Being a Reply t$ Governor Bullock, by H6n.
Nelson Tift, late Representative Bectind
Congressional District of Georgia.
Washington, D. 0., June 4. 1870.
laths Honorable Members of the Senate
and House of Representatives of the Con
gress of the United States j
As the "State of'Georgia iff not now
permitted to'have representation, or a
vOrce in Congress, I adopt this method
of addressing you iu defence of the 5 rep
utation, the fights and interests of her
people.
Under pretense of defending himself
against the partial exposure of his Crimes
by the honorable Judiciary Committee
of the Senate, Governor Bullock, in his
letter of May 23, addressed to certain
members of Congress, continues to fab
ricate and repeat falsehoods and slan
ders against the people of the State
of Georgia, through the instrumentality
of which, and the means of corruption
drawn from the Treasury, he has now
for two years agitated Congress, pro
moted discord, delayed the restoration
of peace and good-fellowship among the
people and States Os the Union, retard
ed tbeiprosperity of the States, violated
the Constitution and laws, usurped the
authority, -iand sacrificed the rights of
our people. . _' i
The statement made by the Senate
Judiciary Committee that Governor
Bullock did “use improper means to influ
ence the vote upon the Georgia question
and the statement of Hon. Senator
Berry, that, “had Georgia for the last two
yearß been in the hands of men of high
patriotism, if it had been in the hands of
men who were looking to the welfire of the
nation instead of their own pecuniary ad'
vancement, we might have had a different
state of things from what exists todag ,” are
truths mildly stated, and well know by
sad experience to the people of Geor
gia.
Governor Bullock, in his letter, with
an effrontery which would* make Satmi
iu approbation, states that,
tations concerning Georgia, he has
“been careful to avoid exaggeration and
to state only the literal truth,” and he
challenges contradiction.
I do not now‘think 6f a single impor
tant statement made by Governor Bul
lock, relative to the condition of Affairs
in Georgia, which has not been exag
gerated or false. The slanders which
he caused to be ranked from all parts of
the State and presented to the Recon
structiOn ‘Committee of the 40th Con
gress, 3d session, were disapproved by
the unanimous testimony df more than
one hundred judges, ordinaries, mayors
of cities, and sworn witnesses, who
were among the best citizens residing
in different parts of the State, and many
of whom were among the best Republi*
cans in the State.
The false statement of bis conversa
tions with President Grant, which he
telegraphed over the country to influ
ence legislation against Georgia, were
denied by a&thority from President
Grant.
His letter, and bis testimony before
the Judiciary Committee, are. made up
of exaggerations and falsehoods.
In his letter, he repeats the now de
monstrated falsehood, that there were
“thirty or more” ineligible members in
the original organization of the Georgia
Legislature. He then knew that df the
fourteen “flagrant’* tried t>y General
Terry’s Military Commission, but three
had been declared ineligible, and that
eleven were declared eligible. He also,
knew, that the sixteen men who declin
ed to qualify were induced to do So by
his threats and promises, his falsehoods
and treachery.
In his letter be refefs to his Official
communication to the Legislature, on
tbe expulsion of the colored members.
In that, communication he denounced
the seating of the minority candidates,
as a violation of the Constitution, the
laws of Congress and the principles of
republican government, and he threat
ened the Legislature with Congression**
al action.
Bat circumstances change, and so
does Governor Bullock. In General
Terry’s report (Senate doc. No. 41) is
an argument of twelve pages, Which he
says, (page 12) “is a presentation of
the law cff the whole case in behalf of
Bullock.” In this argument he says:
* * “Without question, if a person
nominally elected is found ineligible,
that body (the Legislature) would d«'
clare the next highest elected, and give
him the seat. # # Indeed, there has
never been in the State any doubt of
the application of this law to the Leg*
islatnre until the present crisis has giv
en it birth.”
General Terry was finally convinced
(see his report) that he could not legal
ly seat the minority candidates, but he
allowed his acknowledged subordinates,
Gov. Bullock and the Legislature to
seat seventeen of them-, thus giving
Governor Bullock control of the Legis.
lature which he now seeks to perpetu
ate.
Gov. Bnllock, in his letter, refers to
an examination in his official conduct by
a committee of the General House of
Representatives in Janury, 1869, and
says that they “finally reported back a
resolution to the effect that they could
find nothing affecting my official or per'
sonal integrity.” In this Gov. Bullock
has suppressed facts, which is theequiv
alent falsehood. The majority of this
committee made a “whitewashing” re
port. The minority of the committee
reported in substance, the fact that Gov.
Bullock was guilty in numerous in
stances of appropriating the public mon
ey contrary to law. The minority re
port was adopted in the li’buhe by a
vote of 86 yeas, to 37 nays, and tO'day
he stands charged by that action with
impeachable offences for violations of
the Constitutioa which he had sworn to
support.
Gov. Bullock, ih his letter-, boasts
that he “Shali leave the office of Gov.
ernor of Georgia with clean hands,” but
with his “private fortune greatly di
minished,” &c. If public reputation
and the tax-books can be relied upon,
he had no “private fortune” *When he
took the office of Governor; and even
now the State Treasurer, N. L. Angier,
who has published eleven distinct char
ges and specifications against him for
violations of the Constitution aud laws
in the use of the public funds, &c., states
that “the Governor neither gives ih nor
pays any State, bounty, or revenue (in
come) tax;” and yet he spent $14,500
in Washington between the fifth of
March and the twenty first Os April last,
using “improper means” to influence
UoDgress against the State. This rate
of expenditure for the twenty five months
which ho has been Governor, would
have required a private fdrtulie Os $246,-
800.
Bead the report of the thirteen pages
of Gov. Bullock’s testimony before tire
Senate Judiciary Committee for an il
lustration both ol the “tinwillihg” and
the “swift” witness. In answer to the
third and fourth questions he denies all
distinct knowledge Os wholedge bf why
the colored members of the Georgia
Legislature came to WasKiflgtiori. In
bis fourth außwet’ he Says: “1 do hot
know that I can say that I knew of any
dispatches sent to have them come; and
it required the twelve following ques
tions by the committee to draw from
him the fact that he did telegraph to
Atlanta lor them to come to Washing'
ton with the “design” and "purpose of
exercising an influence in opposition to
the Bingham amendment.” Such was
the general character of his testimony
until he came to Chapman and Sena
tor. Pomeroy.
No candid man can read carefully
Gov,’Bullock’s testimony concering Sen
ator Pomeroy from page 148 to 148,
and especially in the light of Senator
Potnelroy’s statement on page 149, with
out a conviction,’ too strong to be resist
ed, that the Whole story is either the
result of a c mspiraoy between Chap-,
man and Gov. Bullock, or a cold-blooded;
malignant fabrication to injure the rep
utation and destroy the influence of an
honorable Senator who had opposed
sortie bf his wicked designs upon Geor
gia. In this part of h.is testimony, there
are three distinct objects: to slander
Senator Pomeroy, Who opposes bis
Schemes in'Congress; tb slander Cap-
Bryant a Republican member, who op
poses his schemes in the Georgia Legis
lature, and to divert attention from his
alleged scheme of selling the State Rail
road to the “Southern Express Company
an odious bill for the incorporation of
which he have how before Congress,
and lias solicited its passage before the
committees.
If it were necessary I could gb on,
bat I tire of the humiliating record of
his critnes, and trust that 1 have said
enough to convince you of the charac
ter and purposes of Gov. Bullock, and
to show you that the good people of
Georgia can have no legal protection
for their rights except through the Con
gress.
Governor Bullock has woiked with a
desperate purpose and energy to the
point Which he has now almost attain
ed.
When the Legislature of Georgia was
organized under the new constitution in
1868, and he found that he could not con
trol a majority of its members, be quar
relled with General Meade because he
wouldnot apply the “test oath” to ex
clude his opponents, telling General
Meade at the same time that ‘his friends’-
had been relieved by Congress.
It is believed by many that he sug
gested and aided secretly in the expul
sion of the colored members of the Leg
islature to make a pretext for reorgani
zation by Congress.
He veted a joint resolution of the leg
islature pledging the State to abide
by the decision of the State Supreme
Court as to the eligibility of negroes to
bold office in ‘Georgia, and when the
Court had declared Ihe negroes eligible,
he failed to call the Legislature, or to
give them an opportunity to comply
With the decision.
He defeated, through his friends in
the Legislature, the adoption of the fif
teenth amendment, at a time when it
was believed that its adoption would
have settled the Georgia question.
He has, with tho aid of tho military,
grossly and palpably violated the law of
Congress of December 22, 1869, and
has thus finally succeeded in acquiring
control over the Legislature, illegally
organized.
But Governor Bullock is "not satisfied
with his present “fruits of victory he
demands of Congress a perpetuation of
his rule, and to accomplish this end
speedily, he has commenced a course of
discipline among members of the Re -
puMcan party.
in Georgia, with the usurped power
of the State government, backed by the
military and his unscrupulous “ring,”
whilst he maligns the people atrid con
sumes the vitals of the State under the
pretence of loyalty and terrible sacrifices
fpr the Republican party, lie ha'3 assailed
the character, and to the extent of his
means destroyed the influence of every
Republican who, outraged or disgusted
with bis illegal aod corrupt course, baa
openly opposed his schemes.
Aud now, because some honorable
members of Congress of the Republican
party have obtained a glimpse'behind
the scene of his corruptions, and dare to
say so, he bolds them up in his letters
as repeaters of slanders, sympathizers
with the Ku-Klyx, making “investiga
tion” with the vain hope ’that lies of in
terested rebels may have some “founda>
tion in fact,” and be threatens Congress
with the “responsibility for the utter de
struction of Republicanism in Georgia”
if they should adopt the “Bingham
amendment or any proviso substantially
like it,” because it would prevent him
and the present illegally organized Leg
islature from carrying out his avowed
purpose of depriving the people of the
whole State of the right to Vote for rep
resentatives, and of perpetuating the
Legislature for two years beyond the
time for which they were elected, in vi
olation of the State constitution.
The constitution of Georgia, artcle 3,
sec. 1, par. 2, Says, ‘The memlxti of
the Senate shall he elected for four years,
except that 'the members elected at the
first election from the twefity-two sena
torial districts numbered in 'this consti
tution with odd numbers, shall only hold
their office for two years. The members
of the. House of Representatives shall he
elected for two years?'
This is clear and ab olule, and what
follows gives no authority to the Legis
lature to alter the term of office. The ;
“time” or day “of election” Vhay be
and the members “hold nn.
til their successors are elected and qual
ified,” so that the “old members'’ would
sit in any txtriordinary session, held before
the regular term at which tfie new mau
lers are to be qualified,
A most important question now press
es itself upon the public mind. Will
not Congress vindicate its own dignity
and the vio’ated law of December 22,
1869 ? Having undertaken by that law
to restore the expelled colored members
to the Legislature, and to purge it of
ineligible members, will they now sanc
tion the illegal violence and fraud by
which eligible members were expelled,
and seventeen members seated who
were not elected l
But if past Violations of the ldiVs can
not be corrected, if the people of Geor
gia must, for the time being, continue
tdbe the prey of wicked rulers, then
another important question ifc presented.
Will Congress by its Uctidn, either di
rectly or indirectly, sanction the avowed
purpose of Gov. Bullock to prevent art
election in Georgia for members of the
General Assembly, on “Tuesday after
the first Monday ih November of this
year;” as required by the Constitution ?
Or will not Congress, knowing the pur
pose of Gov. Bullock, declare in plain
terms, that the election shall be held as
therein required, and representative
government maintained ?
In behalf Os the people of Georgia, I
appeal to Congress to secure to us the
common rights and liberties of Ameri
can citizens, and tbe common rights of
a Btate of the American Union.
It is now fivo years since the close of
the war. When the people of Greorgia
surrendered their arms they also surren
dered the cause of independent govern
[' men! lor which they had contended!—
kWtth hopes crushed, r’-oncrly
destroyed, with the wail of the widow,
and orphan still ringing in their ears,
they did not play tho hypocrite and
glory in their defeat, or curse their
dead comrades as traitors, But they did
surrender in-good faith, they did pledge
an honest support to the Constitution
and laws of the United Static, and they
have kept their pledge. The great triass
of the people have been law, abiding,
moral, industrious and earnestly des r
ous of peace arid a * perfect restoration
of .the‘Union. . c
They appreciated the magnanimity of
the officers and men to whom, they sur
rendered, and they relied on the promi
ses Os the 'Government, and the 'com-;
mon interests of the country, to restore’
them tatheip common rights, whilst they 1
would cheerfully bear the common bur-!
deos of American citizens.
When the war was over, as a ‘general
rule;- the officers and soldiers and a large
proportion of the citizens, on both sides, :
with the generosity which characterizes
br’a've 'and true men, recognized the set*.
tlertient of a qhestion which had divi
ded and agitated the country from the
beginning of the Government, shook
hands, were again friends, and deter
mined to work together tb allay 'preju ,
fraternal relatians and se
cure the union, peace and prosperity of*
the whole ceuntry.
Why have the efforts of these patriot-'
ic raeh'been Unavailing ? Why is peace:
delayed, and strife and enmity contin
ued?
It is.because tbere ! is another though;
sihall dlass of men, who were generally
skulkeis in the war, or speculators in
the misfortunes of its victims, who, when
the war of arms had ended, commenced \
their war of bombast and denunciation,
of falsehood and plunder, against indi-;
viduals and ednitritmities of Jnen, wbhien
and children. This war of these de
mons of peace, these rrtoral beasts and
birds of prey, has been continued five
years, and has been little lessdisaSfrdUs
to the interests of the country than the;
war of arms which preceded it.
To;day, after five years of nominal
peace, by the invitation and suggestion
of Governor Bullock, the State of Geor
gia is ruled by a military despotism un
dfer General Terry, who suspends tho
writ of habeas corpus, and removes aud
appoints civil officers at hiSUill, in vio.l
lation of the constitution and laws ofi
the United States of the State cif Geor
gia- H* i
To-day our petty tyrant, Governor-
Bullock, is urging and threatening!
members of Congress to secure a per
petuation of bis infamous rule over the
people of Georgia. Prom such a gov
ernment even military despotism is a
relief, and . would be preferred by the
people of Georgia, until constitutional
liberty can be restored.
Will not the Congress ahd the -peo-,
pie of the United States open their eyeis
to the evils which surround us, and
adopt the means necessary to save us
and the country from the abyss of an
archy and despotism which wo seem to
be so rapidly approaching ?
Never since the formation of the Con- i
stitution has it been in greater peril, nor!
has there been a time when it was rhore -
important for patriotic members of Con- ;
gress, and officers and citizens of all
classes and partio's and creeds, to unite
their efforts for its preservation. ,
The 'Constitution of government foY
the United States was formdd and es
tablished by our fathers in a spirit of
mutual concession and forbearance and
confidence, which is necessary to its in
tegrity and continuance. Its sacred and
ever binding purposes were—“to form a
more perfect union, establish justice, in- 1
sure domestic tranquility, provide for
the common defence, promote the genen;
al welfare secure the blessings of ;
liberty to ourselves and otxr-posterity.”
If we will but earnestly jf>Ut away the -
evils and corruption which like a swell
ing tide threaten our destructin—if we
earnestly strive to emulate the generous
spirit and self-sacrificing devotiou of
our faters—God Almighty will bless us
in consummation of our designs*
Very respnctfhlly.
