EDITORS AND PROPRIETORS.
CUTHBERT:
FRIDAY, September, 1 1671.
Som* Atlanta fellow has base ball
on the brain, and has written along
piece of Tom-foolery in the shape
of poetry on the subject. It was
published in the New Era.
The heirs of ex-Governor Charles
J. McDohakl, according to the
Macon Telegraph, have commenced
suit fqr the recovery of the Labo
ratory property, the site of the first
State Fair,
Tufi tracklaying on the B. & A
Railroad is expected to be finished
to Albany litis week. If the work
progresses at the present rate till
December, the track will be laid to
Cutbbert by that time.
Three suits against liquor deal
ers and building owners have been
brought by Mrs. Margaret E. Ath
erton, at Springfield, Ohio, against
Martin L. Rice and 0. Selsor, Mrs.
Siebept and George Duke, and John
Funk'and Joseph Dutchcr, for §5,-
000 in oach case, or §15,000 in all,
for damages by selling liquor to her
husband.
Tiie Confedfrate Army of
Northern Virginia.— General Fitz
hugh Lee and other late officers of
the Confederate Army, have issued
a call for the organization of the
Army of Northern Virginia, for
the purpose of preparing its histo
ry in the late war, and taking steps
to have a monument erected to the
memory of the late Gen. R. E. Lee.
Another Richmond. —It is said
that William 11. Seward is in the
field as a candidate for the Presi
dency in 1872. lie thinks old par
ties are about to burst up, and ex
pects to enter as the leader of the
Conservative Republicans and dis
affected Democrats—provided any
of the latter are to he found affbr
the nomination. The report comes
from Paris, and the subject is said
to be one of much agitation among
Americans abroad.
The Agony is Over. —The great
question of swiftness in horse llcsh,
which had agitated the towering
intellect of Useless Simple Grant,
and the other lords of creation, was
settled at Saratoga on the 21th.
Longfellow was badly beaten in a
four mile heat, by Helmbold. —
Many thousands changed hands on
the result sixty thousand going into
the capacious coffers of the rowdy
congressman, Morrissy.
Real Estate in Macon —The
tax assessors are at work in Macon.
The Telegraph says one man who
has been paying taxes on property
valued heretofore at $49,000, will,
under the new assesment, find that
it is worth $89,000. Another, as
sessed heretofore at SI,OOO, is re-as
Bessed at $20,000. Still another,
assessed at $6,000, will pay taxes on
$12,000, and so it goes. Under the
new assessment the taxes of the
city will be increased, it is thought,
fully $25,000 or $30,000.
Ti.e New York World says*:
“The recent action of the House of
Lords in opposing the abolition of
purchase in the army, and the con
sequent overruling of its action by
the Ministry in the name of the
Queen, has given anew impetus to
the discussion of the question of
the abolition of the Upper House.
The cry for the suppression of the
peers is no longer confined to the
oxtreme Radicals, but such journals
as Economist and the Spectator
openly advocite the abolition of a
house which exerts no influence up
on the government of the country,
except by thwarting the wishes of
tho electors. Revolution is certain
ly making progress in England.—
The Queen is already regarded by
many as a useless expense to the
nation, and the tendency towards
the concentration of all power in
the House of Commons elected by
Universal suffrage is steady and
rapid.”
At a Sunday School “exhibition”
a little fellow got nervous while re
citing his texts, and remarked
“Blessed are the shoemakers.”

There is said to be a young lady
in Maine who cuts and piles a cord

A “ Good Time ” Promised.
The following hopeful and en
couraging prediction of a good
business year, commencing this fall,
is from the Financial Chronicle,
which ought to be regarded as re
spectable authority. The promise
of a defeat of speculating rings,
and a nearer approximation to the
old standard of “supply and de
mand” in the regulation of prices,
is particularly cheering, a k that is
a preliminary to the securing of the
just rights of the producer and the
laboring man. The Chronicle says:
“There is every probability that
the year to come will be nearly the
reverse of that now almost passed.
The speculator may not be able to
make so much money, yet he will
not be in danger of losingso much;
while the commission house, prac
ticing ordinary prudence, may reck
on upon having a year of compar
ative safety before it. In cotton,
the new relations of supply to de
mand are much better understoood
now than one year ago, and vari
ations from the estimated supply
are not likely to produce the great
fluctuations which have been wit
nessed in the past year. The ex
cessive stocks of breadstuff's which
were in store one year ago, have
been partially disposed of, and pri.
ces are now at that happy medium
which is assurance of safety. Pro
visions of all kinds have declined
to prices which arc lower than those
which have been current in many
years; and although the demand
is large, the prospective supply is
so large that speculation for a rise
is discouraged.”
Atlanta. —The State ltoad af
fairs arc still considerably mixed.—
Bullock telegraphed Blodgett to
turn off Bookkeeper MoCalla the
man who has been instrumental in
bringing these irregularities to light
together with the Treasurer &c.,
and take the whole matter into his
own hands. McCalla refused to
turn over the books, and after con
siderable squabbling, they were
placed in the lands, of Dr. Redwing
a cHsiutercd party.
Governor Bullock is expected to
return to Atlanta to-day-
Some very wild rumors are float
ing about concerning 11. I. Kim
ball. Last week a New York tele
gram to the Savannah Advertizer,
announced that he had failed and
left for Europe, never to return.—
This is most emphatically denied,
when the Advertiser announces by
another dispatch, that the former
statement was telegraphed by prom
inent citizens of Atlanta, who went
to hunt for Kimball.
Another ice manufacturing com
pany has been formed. •
The City Council have recently
donated §SOO to the Ladies Memo
rial Association, to aid them in
meeting their indebtedness.
Prophecy Fulfilled.—The Co
lumbus Knquii er republishes an arti
cle written for Graham’s Magazine,
in 1852, by Horace Greely, in
whirl) is contained a very remark
able p edict ion, which has been
most signally fulfilled.
A'-g'.ing that every nation and
every age must inscribe itself on
History’s dial, lie goes on to say:
“So, we Americans, will be found
in due time to have iu.-ciihed our
selves most legibly, though all un>
consciously, on the earth’s unfading
records - how, or in what, time
alone can tell. Porliajtg a railroad
over the Rocky Mountains, a tele
graph across the Atlantic, a tower
ing observatory wherein ail the
storms and calms at any moment
prevailing within the earth’s atmos
phere shall bo portrayed on a com
mon dial-plate, and the storms
which shall take place at any point
during the next day or week, with
their several directions and inten
sities.”
The two first branches of the
prophecy are completely fulfilled
and the third sufficiently advanced
to show that ft will be a success.
It not a philosopher, Greely may
at least claim to be a prophet.
Kentucky.— The Atlanta Sun,
claims that the glorious success of
the Democracy in Kentucky was on
account of their rejection of the
“New Departure.” Here’s what
the Louisville Ledger, generally
considered the leader of the “Bour
bons” in that State, has to say about
it:
The word is sent abroad every
day that the “Bourbons” of Ken
tucky mean to split the next Na
tional Convention if they cannot
vote down the new departure.—
There is not one word of truth in
it. Every one of the candidates and
speakers, while refusing to abandon
the position endorsed by the Dem
ocratic millions in 1868, declared
his intention to vote for the nomi
nees of the National Convention,
departure or no departure. That
is the sentiment of Kentucky; that
is the position endorsed by the un
precedented vote of the August
election.

The Wisconsin Democracy.
Madison, August 23.— The Dem
ocratic Convention met to day, one
hundred and fifty-four delegates
present, and A. L. Palmer, of Mil
waukee, presiding. The resolu
tions which were adopted first con
trasts the economy of the Demo
cratic administration of the State
government with the extravagance
of subsequent Republican rule, and
promises retrenchment and reform
if the Democrats are restored to
power. The sifeond declares the
Tenth Amendment of the National
Constitution, the safeguard of free
dom ; charges the Federal Govern
ment with violating its restrictions ;
opposes the centralization of power,
and denounces the interference of
the Federal Administration with
local political affairs.
Third favors a tariff'for revenue,
but not for protection, denouncing
the latter as robbery of the masses
for enrichment of the few, and ac
cusing Republicans of perpetuating
the system in Congress, while dep
recating it in their platforms.
Fourth charges the Administra
tion with squandering the national
domain and revenues. That some
proportion of the national debt has
been paid is no answer to this. A
much greater reduction might have
been accomplished with the im
mense revenues raised by an unpre
cedented taxation. But the Demo
cratic party opposes oppressive
taxation for the mere sake of a
speedy reduction of the public debt,
believing that with wisdom and
justice in the adjustment of taxes,
and economy in expenditure, the
national debt may be paid with suf
ficient rapidity with a light burden
upon the industry and resources ot
the people, and at the same time
we are opposed to all forms of na
tional repudiation, cither of the
debt or pensions or bounties of sol
diers.
Fifth declares that as the iate
amendments to the Constitution
have been declared by the property
constituted authorities to be a part
of the fundamental law of the land,
they are binding upon the people.
That the Democratic party now, as
in the past, know no higher law
than the Constitution. That the
time-honored principle of strict
construction should be observed in
all legislation by Congress.
f-PEECII OF SENATOR DOOLITTLE.
J. S. Doolittle was nominated
Governor by one hundred and
twenty three of one hundred and
fifty-four votes. He accepted in a
carefully prepared speech. llop
ing that he might do something £o
save the constitutional liberty of
the Republican institutions in sub
stance as well as in name. He
briefly reviewed the country since
the repeal of the Missouri compro
mise and the war, the emancipa
tion proclamation and the 13th
amendment abolishing slavery,
which he fully endorsed. He claim
ed that Lincoln and Johnson sought
in reconstruction the preservation
of the rjghts of the State, but the
spirits ol evil’ wore unloosed and
disregarding the oaths and pledges
and the Constitution, the Radicals
forced a plan of reconstruction out
side of the Constitution by military
despotism and gross usurpation.—
The Supreme Court was reconstruct
ed so as not to interfere with their
revolutionary doings and cruel op
pression of the late insurrectionary
States. He regarded the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments as unfair
ly adopted, but \hero were only
three possible ways of upsetting
them, one by a decision of the Su
preme Court that they were uncoil
stitutional; adopting new amend
ments, or wiping them out, both of
which he regarded as impractica
ble. By the use of the military to
control elections, which would be
repugnant to a Democratic govern
ment, negro freedom and suffrage
were accomplished facts and could
not be undone, nor did he believe
the Democrats desired to undo
them. A general amnesty, so as to
restore the character and intelli
gence to a voice in Southern affairs,
was a remedy demanded. The
greatest issue of the day was the
restoration of the government to
the basis of our fathers, against the
Radical dogma that the States had
no right the Federal authority was
bound to respect, lie closed with
an earnest# appeal to all lovers of
their country to dismiss buried is
sues and rally to the salvation of
Republican institutions.
Rev. J. B. McGhee. —The much
beloved pastor of the Methodist
Church of this place,-terminated his
pastoral connection with the Church
on Sunday last, when he preached
morning and evening to full con
gregations. Wo regret that ab
sence from the city deprived us
the pleasure of hearing the last
words addressed by the pastor to
his beloved flock. During his so
journ among us, he has been faith
ful to his high calling, and kept
him9elf unspotted from the world.
He leaves for Cuthbert, where he
goes to take charge of Andrew Fe
male College as its President, a
position unanimously tendered him
by the trustees of that institution.
He leaves behind him a good nam&,
which is far better than rubies.—
The respect and good wishes of
this community, and the prayers of
the pious attend him in hisnew'field
of labor. —Sumter Republican.
Rail Roads. —We sometimes
hear men say “We have too many
Rail Roads already.”
This is a mistake, a grievous one
too. One creates busiues for anoth
er in travel, and freights. They do
more to develope the resources of
our county than anything else, and
are the best, and most efficient im
igration Societies there is, for they
operate in two ways. They do a
great deal in keeping our popula
tion from moving off" and in bring
ing them from other sections.
The building of Roads breaks
clown monopolies, builds up manu
facturing establishments of all kinds
and enhances the lands, and causes
them to be settled up and put in a
high state of cultivation.

Hon. George 11. Pendleton.—
Hon. George 11. Pendleton has just
returned from a tour in Europe, and
has entered the political campaign,
now progressing in Ohio, with all
his zeal, earnestness and power. —
He made a speech at Loveland on
the 22d instant, which appears in
the Cincinati Gazette of the day
following. It contains a beautiful
tribute to the lamented Vallandig
hani, who, “was as pure as he was
able, as honest as he was brave,
and as faithful as he was persecu
ted.”
We give here the concluding par
agraph in which he describes the
mission of the Democracy, and
enunciates its policy iu general
terms :
Pul the Democratic party in
power. It has no new promises to
make, no new pledges to give. It
will remember its organization and
its traditions, its principles and pol
icy as they have been proclaimed
in resolutions, aid illustrated in
practice. It will reform abuses;
it will punish corruption; it will
restore purity to legislation and hon
esty to administration; it will be
just to the public creditor, and hon
est to the * tax-payer; it will pay
the debt in the manner and at the
time promised. It will forbid all
usurpations of power. It will
maintain Constitutional Govern
ment. It will obey ; it will exact
from all obedience to the Constitu
tion and to all the amendments. It
will restore self-government to all
the States, and bring’an era of har
monious union; of real prosperity;
of true liberty.
Brunswick.
Os all places in the South, whose
antecedents offer the most promis
ing field for Northern enterprise,
Brunswick in Georgia bears the
palm. Many years ago, when the
best men of the North and South
fraternized not only socially, but in
many economical projects, some of
the most eminent citizens of New
York and Boston invested capital
in lan’d there ; and the deeds there
of are yet in the possession of their
descendants. Accordingly no new
and purely experimental attraction
now draws the sympathies and the
confidence of the most desirable
parties to this region. An old and
well founded interest in the city
and its environs forms the basis of
future prosperity. Recent internal
improvements confirm this promise
and prospect. We regard Bruns
wick,' from the character of the in
dividuals who own lots and city
stock there, and from the signal lo
cal advantages, as one of the best
regions for the investment of capi
tal and the nucleus of the right
kind of emigration in the South.
The British Consul at Savannah,
in his report on the commerce of
Georgia, made to the Foreign Office
at London, and just published, thus
speaks of Brunswick :
“The coast off Brunswick harbor
is peculiarly free from bands and
shoals, and as the water gradually
deepens from the exterior islands,
in the proportion of a fathom a
mile, a vessel knowing this can
beat on and off in safety. Passing
the islands and entering St. Simon’s
Sound, a large fleet may float in
safety. Brunswick hardor being an
arm of the sea, running up only
eighteen miles, and consequently,
up to this time having no connec
tion .with the interior, there has
been but little commerce from it,
coastwise’or foreign ; but now that
the Macon and Brunswick Railroad
has been completed, connecting its
waters with the interior of Georgia
and Savannah, and the Brunswick
and Albany Railroad is in process
of construction, this harbor must
become in a few years one of the
most important in the Southern
county. It is the best and most
commodious harbor south of the
Chesapeake.” —New York Post.
President Grant’s Farm.
A correspondent of the Central
Baptist, alter visiting President
Grant’s farm, a few miles from St.
Louis, Mo., says he was “received
by Mr. ELrod, a relative of the
President’s, who is intrusted by’
him with ihe superintendance »f
property valued at not less than
$300,000. The farm includes with
recent purchases, 869 acres, mostly
rolling land.” After the brilliant
descriptions that have been recently
published of Mr. Tweed’s Connecti
cut palace, ?ind the island homes of
Messrs. Garvey, Ingersoll, Ivey
ser, and the other magnates of the
Republican Democratic New York
Court-house ring, the enthusiasm
of the Baptist’s description of the
President’s blooded stock, luxuriant
arboriculture, aid other items which
make up the §300,000, read quite
natural.
President Grant went into the
army nut worth a cent, and has liv
ed quite freely ever since. .His
horses, equipages, &c, are the
theme of admiring descriptions
from correspondents not only at
Washington but at Long Branch,
and wherever else he takes up his
temporary abode. It is therefore
quite consolatory to find that out of
his not excessive salary, first as
General and now as President, he
is able to keep $300,000 worth of
blooded stock and such like proper
ty idle on a Missouri farm. Poli
tics appears to pay much the same
in the White House at Washing
ton as in the new Court House of
New York. The boss politician is
evidently bound to be the million
aire of the period. He has found
the secret hinted at in the Scrip
ture passage, “There is that scat
tered, and yet incrcaseth.” These
boss politicians, whether called Su
pervisors or Presidents, contrive to
live at the highest point of luxury,
and on moderate salaries, and yet
to rpjl up riches. —A 7 ! T . Sun.

Oub. Lightning Rods.— We corn
men l tire following to every man
wlio owns a lightning rod, or who
expects to purchase:
Lightning conductors, says the
Scientific American, frequently have
not as good a connection with the
earth as they should have. A light
ning conductor having its earth ex
treme partially insulated, soon be
comes charged if a storm cloud
passes over it, and then a lateral
discharge takes place’; hence the
accidents which have frequently ta
ken place in buildings supposed to
be adequately protected. Sand
and gravel, brickwork and stone,
are bad conductors of electricity,
and if the rod has such a base, and
the surrounding earth be likewise
dry, it is practically insulated. The
difficulty of getting what telegraph
operators call a good earth is one
that should weigh with those put
ting up lightning conductors. They
should not rest satisfied that all is
secure unless they can reach a run
ning stream of water, or else sink a
considerable surface of copper plate
till permanently damp earth is reach-r
cd.

Insurance on Dwelling.
Dwellings are a class of property that own
ers frequently neglect to insure btesuse they
are “so safe” That they are safer thin any
other class of risks is unquestionable, and the
rates are graduated accordingly. A dwelling
in Illinois has been burnt and rebuilt three
times in five years, on the same site, and each
time the fire was accidental, and the loser
without insurance. A large number of the
losses paid have been ou dwellings. Below
are given the names iu full of a number of
‘ incendiaries” which investigations into the
causes of fires in dwellings have developed.
Beware of them :
Ashes in wooden vessel-.
Kerosene and other lamps not filled and
trimmed by day light.
Defective chimneys snd flues.
Furniture two near stoves or lire places.
Lights ueai wind-nv-curtains
Matches within reach of children, and ly
in'? arouud loose.
Wooden fireboards.
Stovepipes passing through or near wooden
partitions or floors.
