he expected of us.
All papers w ill, therefore, posi

Governor Smith is now engaged

According to a Eufaula paper,the
negroes of Barbour county,Alabama,
are collecting money to be used by
negro women in obtaining divorces
from their husbands who voted the
Democratic ticket.
In Atlanta a few daj's since a
dealer bought a drove of turkeys
membering about 400. Shortly af
ter the trade was completed, and
the money paid over, the turkeys
became frightened and rose above
the housetops flying in every direc
tion. At last accounts there were
only about 140 absent unheard
from. Turkeys, like riches, have
v iiigs.
As an evidence of what individ
ual attention and thorough cultiva
tion can do in farming, we give the
actual yeild of R. 11. Hardaway’s
fifteen acre farm in Thomas county
this year: Six bales of cotton, iliree
hundred and twenty bushels of corn,
71 bushels of oats, 38 bushels of
rice, live hanks of sweet potatoes,
four tons of hay, kershaws and
pumpkins enough to furnish pies
during the winter, and siveet potato
vine hay enough for his cattle dur
ing the winter. An imitation of
this example throughout the State
would do much more toward mak
ing money cheap than all the usury
laws that can he passed.
The Eufaula Times says that the
late Radical party in Barbour conn
tv, as to its leaders, can be found in
the Wetumpka penitentiary, in the
chain-gang, or are fugitives from
justice, The grand jury of Barbour
county, which adjourned last Satur
day, found two hundred and thirty
indictments. The council of 500
thieves is broken up. Elias Keils,
the Grand Panjandrum of the coun
cil, is in Washington, pouring his
griefs into the ears of the Radical
leaders. Will they allow so com
prehensive a scoundrel to go un
heard and unrewarded ? We appeal
tor Keils. As virtue’s vacuum and
villainy’s cornucopia. Keils is
worthy of the highest place in the
synagogue of Satan.

Itidepeiidriit Candidates.
From appearances the office of
Tax Collector is to be desired above
“gold, yea, than much fine gold,”
if one may judge from the number
of candidates seeking that position.
Now wc will preface our remarks
with tlie declaration that all aspi
rants to this office in the county are
our pcr.'Onal friends, and could they
come divested of tiiat, to us, oljoc
tionahle adjective, “ independent ,”
and present the claims of the Dem
ocratic party in convention assem
hied, we would cheerfully and cor
dially support either of them. But
when they prefix their announce
ments with that word, then we
that they are not dependent upon
either party or friends for support,
hut will make the race to gratify
either a morbid desire for office or to
defeat the objects of a party, which,
in their opinion, gave undue promi
nence to their virtues or necessities.
W. B. Dixson, in a published Card,
wherein lie declares himself a candi
date for Tax Collector, says:
“I am a candidate lor Tax Col
lector, as the field is now open for
a fiee fight. The candidate of the
Democratic party, Judge Watson,
Ims come down, ami I am now reg
ularli) in for that office against the
other independent candidates, to
wit : C. B. Zuber, 11. D. Ilaisten
and W. F. Davis. 1 respected the
nomination of the Democratic par
ty and should not have run the race
if Judge Watson had not retired
from the field.”
Now, had lie omitted to class
Capt. SV. F. Davis with those other
“ independent candidates,” we
should have acceded to him the
same right (though small it he) to
run for the office they were seeking
to fill, as those (other) independents.
But this “ new departure,” which
causes the original “ bolters ” to
laugh in their sleeve and feel that
the party was utterly demoralized
and ruptured, will not satisfy the
minds of those who-pretend to think
and act for themselves. lie says
that if Watson had remained in the
field lie would not have entered the
campaign—as “he was the candi
date of the Democratic pary.”
This, surely is the flimsiest pretext
we ever heard from any aspirant.
As it is well known to the voters of
this county that Watson was nomi
nated by the faction that left the
party in the October election, and
that he had emphatically declared
before the meeting of our Conven
tion that lie would not accept said
nomination, nor make the race, and
that too, before Dixsou’s name was
carried into the Democratic Con
vention, with the ])ledye that he
would abide the action of said Con
vention. How can the supporters
of Dixson reconcile these facts ?
The true solution is, that he merely
icants the office, else he has made up
his mind to retract, in this manner,
many hard things he lias formerly
said about the “ bolters,” for soino
other reason than to get votes.
If he considers Capt. Davis an
“independent” candidate why did
he seek the nomination in the same
convention that gave it to Davis ?
Or if he considered Watson the
nominee, why did he so earnestly
oppose the candidate of the same
party in October ? Consistency
would he a jewel of great magni
tude here could it be adjusted in
this dilemma.
As Air. Dixson is the only “inde
pendent” candidate who has had
the presumption to class the nomi
nees of the Democratic party as
“independents” and to set them
down as naught, we have seen fit to
thus speak of his card. We do so,
however, without feeling the neces
sity of urging upon the voters of
the Democratic party the necessity
and importance of utterly repudi
ating such claims for their suffrage,
as are set forth in this wonderful
document.
A Striking Scene. —The other
day, while passing through the ro
tunda of the capitol, I witnessed
the meeting of two men, which he
cause of the parts played by each of
them on the stage of American his.
tory, was a striking and impressive
spectacle to all who saw it. As the
Hon. Alexander H. Stephens, ex-
Yice President of the Southern Con
federacy, was going through the ro
tunda lie was met by Senator Ham
lin, of Maine, ex-A’ice President of
the United States during Lincoln’s
administration, who chanced at the
time to be coming from the oppo
site direction. The two distinguish
ed gentlemen exchanged cordial
greetings, and while they stood for
a few moments engaged in pleasant
conversation, were the cynosure of
all eyes.— 'Washington Correspon
dent Augusta Constitutionalist.
Constitutional.- —A special from
Washington to the Chicago Times
says the full opinion of Justice
Bradly, of the United States Su
preme Court, deciding in the Uous
isiana ease, that the enforcement
act is unconstitutional, has been
made public there, and is so very
strong from such a source as to
leave no doubt in the minds of good
lawyers of both parties that the full
bench will eonfirm it in March.—
This will relieve the opposition of
the necessity of introducing a bill
for the repeal of the law. Bradley
is a Radical, and is the last appoint
ment to the Supreme Bench made
by Grant.
Suicide Ist Atlanta.
On Alonday morning last Mr.
Sam’l. J. Anderson, at one time pri
vate Secretary of Gov. Geo. W.
Crawford, ami subsequently Secreta
ry of War, ad interim, until super
seded by Gen. Winfield Scott, sui
cided by shooting himself in the
bead with a pistol. He came t<
Atlanta about three years since to
superintend the publication of the
Atlanta Sun.
The cause of this rash act was
financial embarrassments, lie had
been employed l>y Gen.. Toombs to
do some wriling at a regular salary
per month—the General honoring
all drafts to Hie extent of his salary.
A few weeks previous to the sui
ioide Gen. Toombs iri conversa
tion with Mr. A. was informed of
his need of funds, when he present
ed him with a hundred dollars, in
dependent of his salary. A few
days after this Anderson drew a
draft on Toombs in favor of Jerry
Finch for $125 which was returned
protested. This disappointment led
to the suicide. Before taking his
life he wrote the following, which
we take from the Constitution :
Atlanta, Sunday, Dec. 20, ’74.
To Dr. J. M. Johnson—Dear
Sir : Thoughtfully, even cheerfully,
I obey the stern fiat of irresistable
circumstances, without discussion
and without murmur. My remark
able vigor and acknowledged capac
ities seem utterly unavoidable for
ordinary purposes. Be it so.
I have much to be thankful for
to yourself and other personal
friends, and feci no enmity or ha
tred against any man. I hope
Toombs will so far vindicate him
self as to protect Jerry Lynch from
the consequences of a protest,
which could not hare been antici
pated. To-morrow morning I in
tend to place the muzzle of my pis
tol iu my mouth and pull the trig
ger. I thus bluntly state m'y ir:ten
tion in order to avoid, if possible, a
“coroner’s inquest” or legal inves
tigation. I shall dress myself, after
bathing as usual, in a suit of old
clothes, good enough I opine for
the purpose in view. Aiy better
clothes will be of use to tny son. I
hope to he buried as I fall.
You will find in my table draw
er further communications and re
quests.
I enclose fifty odd dollars to go
towards funeral expenses, and to
express my trunk to New York.
Regretting the absence of Dr.
Miller, please remember me to him,
and present my photograph here
with enclosed.
Farewell, my friend.
S. J. Anderson.
IN PENCIL.
You will find my keys, etc., in
the table drawer with my spectacles
and eyeglasses —one for Dr. John
son, one for Dr. Miller. S. J. A.
HIS WILL AND GEN. TOOMUs’ LEGACY.
The other document, which we
are permitted to make public, is his
wilk In it lie leaves a remarkable
legacy to General Toombs.
The following was written four
days previous to the suicide, which
shows a firm resolution to commit
the deed :
PRIVATE AND PERSONAL.
I, Samuel J. Anderson, present to
my friends the following requests
and bequests :
To my son Sam. J. Anderson, all
such of best clothing and effects as
can be packed in my sole leather
trunk. I would communicate with
A. 11. Dawson, 371 Broadway, New
York, beiore expressing trunk to
him. Not having heard from the
boy for some months, inquiry will
be necessary. I would rely on Air.
Dawson’s information and advice in
the premises. I suppose the cloth
ing would be of much value to him
and of but little value to any one
else. But if they’ are not available
to him after inquiry, I would beg
that the same may he forwarded to
my son Henry Blasdell Anderson
(about 14 years of age) at Spring
viile, Erie county, New York. He
can be written to and easily found,
by addressing John C. Strong, at
torney’, Buffalo, New York.
lo Dr. Miller. —The furniture of
my room according to bill in left
hand bureau drawer is Dr. Miller’s
property. —Also box of coal to Alil
ler and Johnson.
To Terry Lynch —A new pair of
pants wrapped in paper. Returned
because I am unable to pay fur
them.
To Matilda Harris (my honest
washerwoman) —the foliowi ng tri
fles : Coal scuttle and shovel, trunk
and strat, writing table, umbrella,
biubox, broom and towels. . She
will pack my trunk and dispose of
old clothes, etc., as she pleases.
To Ed Hardy —My valise and
contents ; also cigars.
To 11. Toombs (not private')
My pistol, with my recommendation
that he rid the world of his pres
ence by imitating my example.
Ear burial —l think shirt, draw'
ers and socks, with my big cloak
wrapped around me, will be quite
sufficient. I have tried to save
money enough to bury me and ex
press my trunk, ete. I shall have
about sixty dollars in pantaloons
pocket. S. J. Anderson.
The Civil Rights Bill.— The
correspondent of the Courier, in a
Washington telegram of the 16th
inst. says : If the matter gets over
the holiday recess, the passage of
the measure will be rendered quite
doubtful, The passage of this mat
ter at this session tends to defeat
some of the appropriation bills,
which would render an e>;t.ra sess
siou of Congress inevitable. The
bill is part of a system designed to
punish the South for her continu
ance in resistance to the Radical
party. The hope of its authors is
to proyoke the conflict of races on
which they rely $o inflame the
Northern mind.
.Sound Doctrine.
The Savannah Advertiser says
that we have had great trouble in
Georgia, since the war, from diffi
culty in the collection of debts,
which, unfortunately, were largely
interfered with, if not entirely pre
vented, by the homestead and ex
emption laws. We arc leased to
notice that many of tte leading pa
pers are taking up the matter and
discussing it with a sense ot justice
to both debtor and creditor, but in
none of them have we seen remarks
that were more appropriate to the
occasion than the following, which
we take from the Rome Commer
cial, and which we trust will be
copied by every paper in Georgia.
The Commercial says :
“As the Democratic party has a
large majority in both branches of
the General Assembly, it is just to
hold that party responsible for the
measures which may be adopted.
“ There are many reforms which
we should like to see adopted.
The tendency of legislation since
the war has been to retard and ob
struct the recovery of debts. As to
the debts which existed at the com
mencement of the war, or were con
tracted during its continuance, it
was perhaps proper that they should
he adjusted after the war upon
equitable principles rather than en
forced upon the rigid rules of law.
But there no longer exists any reas
on for relaxing the laws for the re
covery of debts. Homestead laws
anti exemption laws which enables a
man to hold a considerable amount
of property and to live comfortably
in spite of the just claims of his
creditors, are destructive of credit,
and are pernicious in their influence
upon the morals of a people.
“ The policy of the law should he
to promote entegrity and good faith
bv giving prompt and effectual renv
edies for the collection of debts and
the enforcement of contracts. Ev
ery person should have a remedy for
every wrong; and that remedy
should he easily, promtly and cherp
ly attainable. A delay of justice is
itself a wrong, and justice should
not be costly lest it should be there
by put beyond the reach of the
poor and the weak.
“ For the good of the country and
the honor of the Democratic party,
we hope to see it inaugurating a
policy and enacting laws looking to
the firm establishment of justice
and the promotion of sound morals.
The wicked have long borne sway.
Let us have a return of the rule of
the righteous.”
Oiu* Homestead and Col
lection liiUVS.
Two measures of great impor
tance to Georgia ought to come be
fore the next Legislature, because
both of them affect the credit of our
people. Six years of practical ex
perience have demonstrated the in
jury arising from the homestead
law. Many of the most enthusias
tic advocates of that measure of
protection admit their error to-day
Instead of proving beneficial to the
people, it has kept down the poor
man and effectually prevented his
bettering his condition. Paralyz
ing industry and enterprise, by d< -
stroying individual credit, the
homestead law has been the bane
of Georgia, and has done all the
mischief its. opponents claimed it
would do.
We believe that four-fifths of the
people of Georgia are favorable to
its repeal to-day. The opinion is a 1
but unanimous, among those who
know best, that if there had never
been so extravagant a homestead
law as the one we now have, Geor
gia had been twenty millions of dol
lars better off. Four filths of the
iand owners of the Stale are with
out credit to-day, although many of
them are nominally worth five or
six thousand dollars. They cannot
borrow money on their land, they
cannot engage in any enterprise
requiring security, they cannot even
improve their property and thus in
crease its value. The homestead
law pi esses down upon them with
resistless force, crushing out credit
and rendering skill and energy
worthless.
Twin-sister of evil to the home
stead law of the State, is our co!
lecting law. The man who lends
his money, and the merchant who
gives credit are subject to the most
shameful and vexatious delays.
Our collection laws establish a grand
circumlocution office, which may
benefit the lawyers, but certainly
benefit nobody else. A sells two
thousand dollars worth of goods to
B, who does not pay according to
agreement. One would suppose
that if B has property or goods,
which can be levied upon, that the
collection would be an easy matter.
By no means. Ifß is disposed to
play the scamp, he can keep his
creditor out of the money for years,
on a hundred pretexts, which the
law affords him. We have heard of
one case in which a Northern capi
talist lent SB,OOO lo a planter of this
State at seven per cent, per annum
interest. The money was payable in
twelve months. When it fell due it
was not paid and suit was brought
to recover. Although a mortgage
was given, the beautiful character
of our laws has enabled the debtor
to keep his creditor out of the moo
ey for over two years, and the lat
ter is not any nearer getting his
money to-day than he was when he
first began the suit.
Such a condition of affairs is sim
ply scandalous. It is a disgrace to
Georgia, and the sooner it is remov
ed the better it will be for the cred
it of the people and prosperity of
the State.— Atlanta Mews.
