FRIDAY, April 12, 1872.
Titk Press Convention has been
called to meet in Atlanta on
Wednesday, the Bth of May.

Six handred alligator skins were

Gen. LoNGstreet has written a
letter, Fully endorsing Gen. Grant

idency.
John Black, of the Eufaula
News, says buzzards ’droped
dead thereabouts upon.learning of
the Connecticut election.
The tower of the first Methodist
church (Wesly Chapel) in Atlanta,
fell last Saturday morning, together
with one of the walls, occasioned
by the • foundation giving away.
The loss is estimated at SIO,OOO to
the church.
The Jacksonville Union, refering
to the Jacksonville, Pensacola and
Mobile railroad says : ‘‘lt is not im
probable that Geneal Littlefield will
retire from any management of the
road, and that a lease will be made
to responsible business men, upon
such terms as will insure the speedy
construction of rite road westward
to Pensacola, and.secure Iho pay
ment of the $471,050 of outstanding
first mortgage bonds, for which the
tiustees ot the Internal Imrpove
inent Fund have seized the road.
Should this be done all claims against
the road now represented here will
be amicably satisfied, the enterprise
taken out of political control, and
put under competent business man
agement, the old stock interests of
the Florida Central road satisfied,
anc} the interests of Jacksonville be
secured also.
A Washington correspondent
of the Louisville Courier says:
The President is possosed of this
property, viz : SIOO,OOO donated to
to him by the merchants of New
York ; a house in Philadelphia $40,-
000, rented now at $2,400 per year;
640 acres of land situated near St.
Louis, purchased, with all improve
ments, at less than $50,000 ; one
fourth of 120 acres of land situated
near Chicago, $5,000 ; $>5,000 stock
in the Michigan Iron Company ; his
Long Branch residence, $30,000;
and a small amount of Adams Ex
press and railroad shares. It is not
improper to state more specifically
that the President’s income, outside
of his salary as President, is about
$6,000 per year.
It is related of Lessing that he
was occasionally so absent minded
that once ho knocked at his own
door, when the servant,'not recog
nizeiug her master, looked out of the
window and said, “The professor is
not at home.” “Oh, very well.”
replied Lessing,composedly walking
away , “I will call again.”
The Southern Claims Commis
sion, at Washington, hear about
three eaiks a day. At this rate
they will get through with the busi
ness about the time the great grand
children of the claimants are seri
ously thinking of dying of old age.
JC3T The following resohitiou
was adopted by the National Tel
egraph Morse Memorial Associa-'
tion.
Whereas, The United States
Housejof Representatives has placed
the hall at the disposal of this As
sociation for the purpose of holding
a memorial meeting, in honor of
the late Samuel F. B. Morse, on
Tuesday, April loth, and promi-,
nent members of both houses of
Congress have consented to address
the meeting; and
Whereas, The telegraph wires
have beeu freely placed at the dis
posal of this Association for that
evening; therefore,
“ Resolved , That the Municipal
Authorities of the cities and towns
of the United States, arc hereby
invited to call meetings of a sim
ular character, in their several lo
calities, on the same evening, in
order that the meetings may be in
telegraphic communication and,
thus, a simultaneous expression be
to the national grief at their
irreparable loss.”
The Montgomery Advertiser thus
fiudy memoralizes upon the death
of this great man :
But vain are all the honors that
mortality can either enjoy or be
stow. They cannot move the silent
dust or “soothe the dull cold ear of
death.” The man whose fame is
borne from the rivers to the ends of
the earth by theswift winged mes
sengers of his own creation, lies to
day food for worms, a mockery of
his former greatness. The sad re
alities of Fate can neither be pro
pitiated nor concealed, and though
we mourn the blow that strikes
the good man and the great to the
earth, wc feci that he had filled his
allotted space, and filled it so well
.that millions yet hang
with . wonder and deli™t on the
story of the trials and the record of
the triumphs of Samuel Finley
Bieese Morse.
The Larnl Scrip.
Generally speaking the action
ol Governor Smith, in liis disposi
tion of the land scrip, has given sat-
all. There are a few,
however, from some cause, seek to
ridicule the action of our Executive
in this particular, which may be at
tributed either to jealousy or a
lack of knowledge in the premises.
The “donation” of land scrip, by
the. United States Congress, was
nothing more nor less than a lone,
and each State is individually re
sponsible, for the faithful care and
application of-said trust.
The law says, “ If. any portion of
the fund invested, shall, by any ac
tion or contingency, be diminished
or lost, it shall be replaced by the
State to which it belongs, so that
the capital of the fund shall remain
forever undiminished.” “No por
tion of said fund, shall be applied,
directly or indirectly, under any
pretence whatever, to the purchase,
erection, preservation or repair of
any building or buildings.”
The last Legislature, fading to
take any action in the matter, it be
came necessary for tbe Governor to
make the application or allow the
fund to bo forfeited, which would
have been done on the 2d day of
July next-*before the next meeting
of the Legislature. Georgia* has
control of no other institution of
learning save the State University,
at Athens, and as no portion of
said (educational) fund, shall be
applied, directly or indirectly, un
der any pretence whatever, to the
purchase, erection, preservation ,
or repair of any building or build
ings,” what else could have been
done but apply it to the State Uni
versity already in operation ?
The Griffin Star thinks the Gov
ernor should have awaited the ac
tion of the committee of the State
Agricultural Convention which meets
in Griffin on the 13th of August.
This is absurd as it will be forty
days after the forfeiture of the
scrip, before this committee meets.
Under the circumstances Gov
ernor Smith could not have acted
otherwise, and we are sure no oth
er disposition could have been made
that would have been so just and
satisfactory
Our cotemporaries of the Dem
ocrat saw flt to assail the actions
of the Governor in the premises,
in the following manner.
“The hasty and inexplicable action
of Governor Smith passeth our un-,
dergtanding, but it would appear
at first glance that he had been
duped into the vain delusive hope
that such a step would-redouml to
his future political advantage. Os
one thing we do feel assured. Gov
ernor Smith has lent himself to an
unscrupulous ti ßing n who have
used him to consummate their own
damnable purposes, and while they
are shielded from the clamorings of
an outraged people, upon his bead
will bo visited tbe fruits of this in
famous transaction.”
These are grave charges brought
against our worthy Governor, who is
doing sOmuch to restore the rights
and privileges, peace and prosperi
ty, to our hitherto outraged and
impoverished people.
If the article in question was
penned by either of the editors of
the Democrat, (which we material,
ly doubt,) it was surely a lapsus
calami, and published without re
flection or an investigation into the
.facts in the case.
[ Since the above was put in type,
wo have received thb American
Union, published by J. Clarke
Swayze, in Macon, which assures
us that we were •correct in the in
tonation, that the Editors of the
Democrat did not write the article
from which we made the above
extract, although it appeared as an
editorial, without any comments
whatever, in their last issue. The
same article appears editorially in
the Union. As both papers are
published in the same office, by the
same man, aud contains nearly the
same matter, it may have been an
oversight, and will probably be ex
plained in their next issue.
It is quite difficult. for type, as
well as men, to talk on opposite
sides of the same subject without
becoming considerably mixed.
They will “amalgamate” in spite
of fate.]
Hebrew Leap Yeae.— The pres
ent is the Hebrew leap year, which
occurs once in every seven years, to
the twelve months there being ad
ded the mouth of Verdar. The
passover is on the 14th day of Nas
sail, falling this year upon April
23d. To show how the Jews cliDg
to the faith of their fathers, it is
stated the British society for the
conversion of the Jews had an
income for 1871 of some $267,000. —
Twenty-five paid agents were
kept at work. During the year
thirteen Jews were “converted,”
showing the cost of each “conver
sion” to be some $20,000. At tbis
rate the “conversion*’ of this race
will be an expensive business.

The Savannah morning
Hews.
The old axim to the effect that
enterprise and energy are bound to
tell, has never been more aptly il
lustrated than in the recent career
of that vigorous Georgia newspa
per, the Savannah Morning News.
An idea has heretofore prevailed
that there is no field in the South
for live, enterprising journalism.—
This idea, however, has been most
thoroughly dispelled by the ener
getic conductors of the Morning
News. Some months ugo, when
the News inaugurated the series of
special telegraphic dispatches, inde
pendent of the Associated Press re
ports, which have been so popular
with both its readers and its ex
changes, tbe effort was essentially
experimental, but only a few weeks
experience was necessary to prove
that, tbe people were willing to re
cognize and support any attempt to
furnish them with the latest and
freshest intelligence.
The Morning News, however, al
though one of the most popular and
prosperous daily journals in the
South, is by no means anew enter
prise. Many of our readers whose
memories date back twenty years,
will remember the News as a lead
ing Georgia paper in that day.—
They will remember, also, that the
News has always been consistent
aud persistent in the maintenance
of Conservative Constitutional prin
ciples, and a firm and unwavering
advocate of the rights and interests
of the South—a record of which any
journal may well be proud.
The editorial chair is filled by
Col. W. T. Thompson, the well
known author of “ Major Jones’
Courtship,” whose connection with
the paper dates from the first num
ber. Colonel Thompson is assisted
in the editorial department by Mr.
•T. C. Harris, whose racy epitome
of “ Affairs in Georgia” is so popu
lar with the readers of the News.—
In addition, there is employed a
full and efficient corps of local, ma
rine and commercial reporters.
We have good reason to believe
that the features which have
achieved for the News its present
leading position among Southern
journals will not only be continued,
but improved upon, and to those of
our readers who desire a live, reli
able, vigorous and wide-awake
newspaper—a newspaper that on an
average gives double the reading
»matter of any other Georgia daily
—we most heartily commend the
News. They have a choice of three
editions—the daily, the tri-weekly
and weekly—each models in their
way. The price of the daily is $lO
a year, or $5 for six months ; of the
tri-weekly, $6 a year, or $3 for six
months ; of the weekly, $2 a year.
Money may bo sent by express to
Mr. J. H. Estill, proprietor, Sa_
vannah, Ga., at his own risk and
expense.
John II Caldwell.—Thisnotor:-
ous individual has left Georga, it is
hoped, forever. The Radical Meth
odist Advocate, of Atlanta, has this
item about him:
“Rev. J. H. Caldwell, late of the
Georgia Conference, was re-admit
ted to the traveling connection, in the
Wilmington Conference at its late
session, and stationed at Still Pond
a fine appointment. We congratu
late brother Caldwell, and trust that
he will enjoy his work in the North.
This meets our idea. An exchange
of ministers between the North and
South is desirable.”
Caldwell’s history, for the past
seven years, has been one of trickery
to his native land, to his former
friends and to society generally. It
proves conclusively that no minister
of the gospel should ever dabble in
politics, and proves equally true
that no true minister of God will
descend fromjiis high vocation to
drag his ministerial robes through
the filth of political stifo and scram
ble for’office. At one time he was a
shining light in the Southern Meth
odist church; but his course has
left him but few if any friends
among the true people of Georgia.
Let him now repent and become a
true preacher of the gospel instead
of a Radical Methodist politician. —
La Grange Reporter.
A Railroad President Turns
Baggage Master.—We find this
item in the Eatonton Press.
It is said that on Saturday eve
ningjlast, President Wadley, finding
the baggage master who ran on the
train from Macon to Savannah, was
unable to be at his post,- took the
position himself This willingness
to take hold evidences an indefati
gable industry and perseverance
which is the cause, coupled with
foresight and financial wisdom, of
the great success which has atten
ded the “Central Railroad and Ban
king Company.”. Elevated position
and high salary does not prevent
the President of the company from
work. An example worthy of imi
tation* .
Platform of Judge
The friends of Judge Davii Davis,
the candidate of the Labor Reform
ers foj President, says that his po
sition is us follows:
If people who seek to bring about
reform in the Government, who
favor amnesty for political offences
a cordial restoration of the Union
in all its integrity, the supremacy of
the civil over military power, hostili
ty to centralization, and integrity
in the administration of affairs, Me
sire him to represent them as a can
didate for the Presidency, he will
accept that honor, because those
principles accord entirely with his
convictions.

A Bloody Battle in Worth.
The Albany News of the sth has
a report ol t a bloody fight which
occured at Ford’s mill, in Worth
county, the previous Saturday, on
the occasion of -the election of a
Justice of the Peace. The News
gives the following particulars of
the entertainment:
The mail carrier from this city
arrived at Ford’s or Vine’s mill, a
little later than usual, probably ow.
ing to the high water. On his ar
rival, Jim Bass, who was intoxica
ted, abused him, and continued his
abuse till the carrier showed a dis
position to resent it. Nep Taber
interfered, and strove for some
time to keep Bass quiet, but in
vain. He then told, Bass that he
would befriend a man when he was
in the right, but would not when
he was in the wrong. At this
point, Bill Keen and bis two sons
entered the rmg against Taber.
Tbe fight opened, and soon be
came general all along the lines.
Pistols, knives, bludgeons, fence
rails, weights, fists and whisky
went in for an indiscriminate fan
dango, and one report says that
every man in the crowd, except
two who fled, were engaged either
as belligerents, peace makers or
spectators.
When the smoke of battle clear
ed away, the scene of blood and
carnage was appalliug. Jim Keen
was dangerously cut on the hip;
Nep Taber was dangerously cut in
the abdomen and side; Gus Scet,
an innocent looker on, was shot
fatally in the abdomen. Phil Ford
(col.) cut in shoulder and arm,
head split open with bludgeon, and
the pieces pitched out at the win
dow. Bill Keen and his other
son, and a stranger cut more or
less severely, and many others
bruised and bunged in the highest
style of the art.
We wero glad to learn late yes
terday that all the wounded are do
ing well, and likely to recover.
Phil, the colored troop, picked up
his pieces and got a blacksmith to
weld him. He will not die.
Bloody and Fatal Affray.
The city was thrown into a state
of considerable excitement yester
day, between one and two o’clock, by
the report of a bloody and fatal affray
that had taken place about that time,
on lower Broad street,near Durham’s
wood shop, between Messis. Jose
ph and John Hartung (brothers,)
and a man named 11. A. Scott, of
Blakoley, Georgia, in which Mr.
John Hartung was stabbed and kill
ed,and the other combatants slightly
wounded. We heard various ru
mors as to tbe cause of tbe difficulty,
but it is accepted as true that Scott
owed the Hartung brothers one
hundred dollars for the rent of a
bouse, and in regard to the . settle
ment of which the fight occurred.
Mr. John Hartung was stabbed just
below the righ shoulder blade and
died in about twenty minutes. Jo
seph Hartung was slightly injured
inthe forehead by a pistol shot, and
Scott received several slight scalp
wounds with a knife and was also
cut in the hand. He was immedi
ately arrested, and after having his
w<nMds dressed, was landed in the
city guard house.
As the matter will undergo legal
examination, it would not be prn
dent for us to give further particu
lars of this unfortunate affair. We
might properly state howevor, that
Eufaula had no more industrious
and unassuming fitizen than Mr.
John Hartung, the boot-maker, and
that his untimely and tragic death is
generally lamented by all classes of
our people. Os his slayer we have
nothing to say. He will appear be
fore the Courts to answer for what
he has done, and it will be for him,
at that time, to clear his skirts if he
is guiltless. —Eufaula JVeics 9th.
The Reign of Terror 15 .Caro
lina.—A special to the Charleston
Courier, under date of Columbia,

Persons arriving in the city from
Laurens and Newberry, report tbe
greatest confusion in those counties.
A company of cavalry have made a
raid on Laurens Court House, and
are arresting everybody that they
can lay hands on. The fields and
ploughshare have been abandoned,
and tbe citizens are flying in every
direction to avoid arrest. By the
Greensville train this evening there
arrived twenty eight prisoners from
Laurens county, who have been hur
ried off by the military without a
hearing, and another batch of six
teen from Newberry are expected
to-morrow at Charleston for trial.
The New York Herald says:
“This city is only occupied by pau
pers and millionaires. No man
with a family, and earning a mod

“cunning, comfortable little houses
for which Philadelphia is fsmed,
with 6mall gardens and a patch of
greenery and roses, sunshine and
pure air, and rented with profit to
the owner for much less than is
paid for a miserable tenement in
Baste* street.”

Poisoned to Death.--A healthy liver se
cretes each day about two and a hall pounds
of bile, which contain" a great amount of
waste material taken from the blood. When
the liver become torpid or congested, it fails
to eliminate tbis vast amount of noxious
substance, which, therefore remains to pois
on the blood aud be conveyed to every part
of the system What must be the condition
of the blood when it is receiving and retain
ing each day two and a half pounds of poi
son t Nature fries to work off this poison
through other channels or organs-the kid
neys. lungs, skin, etc.; but these orgaus be
come overtaxed in performing tbis labor,
in addition to their natural functions, and
cannot long withstand the pressure, but be
come variously diseased.
The braiu, which is the great electrical
centre of all vitality, is unduly stimulated
by the unhealthy blood which passes to it
from the heart, and it fails to perform its
office healthfully. Hence tbe symptoms of
bile poisoning, which are dullness, head
ache, incapacity to keep the mind on any
subject, impairment of memory, dizzy,
sleepy, or nervous feelings, gloomy forebod
ings and irritability of temper. The blood
itself being diseased as it forms the sweat up
on the surface of the skin, it is so irritating
and poisonous that it produces} discolor
brown spots, pimples, blotches and other
eruptions, sores, boils, carbuncles and scrof
ulous tumors. The stomach, bowels and
other organs spoken of, cannot escape be
coming affected sooner or later, aud costive
ness, piles, dropsy, dyspepsia, diarrhoea, fe
male weakness and many other forms of
chronic disease, are among the necessary re
sults. Asa remedy for all these various
manifestation* of disease, Dr. Pierce's Gold
en Medical Discovery is positively unequal
ed. By it the liver and stomach are changed
to an active, healthy state, the appetite reg
ulated and restored, ttic blood and secretions
thoroughly purified and enriched, and the
whole system renovated and built up anew.
