HE WITHDRAWS FROM THE CONTEST.
Albany, Ga„ March 21, 1811.
To the Citizens or the Second Congres
sional Distrtct :
When I accepted yoor nomination as the
candidate of the Democratic party for elec
tion, to represent you in Congress, it was
with a purpose single to your interests and
my duty, and the course* which I now adopt
is dictated by the same motives.
In December last, as shown by official
returns, I was elected to the forty-first Con
gress by a majority of 500 votes, and to
the fort; second Congress by a majority of
504 votes. By means which have been ex
plained in Efotyse Miscellaneus Document,
No. 68, parts Ist, 2d and 3d, 41st Congress,
3d Session, certificates of election were is
sued by Governor Bullock, to my opponent,
R. H. Whiteley, for both the 41st and 42d
Congreses, upon which he has been seated*
I gave notice of contest for the seat in
the 41st Congress and subsequently for the
42d Congress, while there was yet hope that
the law would be vindicated. After much
delay and difficulty, I procured and placed
before the Committee of Elections certified
copies of the election returns, convincing
them that I was elected, and the cerificate
was wrongfully Issued to Mr. Whiteley.
But a majority of tho committee declined to
report the facts, and permitted the wrong
to be continued in the 41st and to be re
peated in the 42d Congress.
This is bnt'a repetition of the injustice
of the radical majority in cases of other
States where radical governors have usurp"
ed the rights of the people and given certi
ficates of electiouto the minority candidates
of their own party—they have been seated
and retained their seats in spite of contests
which have shown that they were not elec
ted.
Judging from my experience and these
facts from the facility which lias already
boeii shown by our oppouem# tn CauipMsi
and Pulaski counties in procuring false
testimony to suit their purpose—as shown
in the document above referred to—it
would, in my opinion, be a waste of time
and means to again prove by respectable
citizens what has already demonstrated,
only to be denied by unscrupulous radical
partizms whose testimony would again, as
heretofore, be taken as a sufficient pretext
to justify the wrong which has been com
mitted.
With this conviction, J cannot willingly
subject oor people to the exciteroeivt, loss
of timo and means, and loss of labor fiom
the crops which a long contest in the drf~
ferent counties iu the district would neces
sarily iuvolve with no prospect of redress.
I regret the official demonstration aud
wrong, which in my judgment, makes this
course proper. But such wrong find their
compensation in arousing the people to the
dangers which threaten their institutions,
and will thus aid the movement now in
progress, which in 1872 will drive the rad
ical party from power, regenerate the Gov
ernment and bring peace and prosperity to
oqr country.
In again taking toy plabe in the ranks
by your side, I desire to say, that during
my brief official career, next to the consci
ousness of having performed my duty
faithfully, accordiug to the best of my
judgment aud ability, your confidence and
approval has been my best reward and
will ever be remembered with gratitude.
Very respectfully,
'Your oWienl. ji^rvant.

“THE IRISH WIFE.”
■Hi® recent touching and enviable death of the
wife of the late Thomas D’Arcy McGee, who is
said to have died withput a pang While upon her
knees in the act of devotion, gives anew and pa*
tbetic interest to these fine tributary lines from
her husband's pen, and justifies their restoration
to current print after an interval in which they
have been more frequently quoted than read :
I would not give my Irish wife
#or all the dames of the Saxon land.
I would not give my Irish wife
For the Queen of France’s hand;
For she to me is dearer
Than oastles strong, or lands or life.
An outlaw—so I’m near her,
To love till death my Irish wife.
Oh, what would be this home of mine,
A ruined, hermit haunted place,
But for the light that nightly shines
Upon its walls from Kathleen’s face f
What comfort in a mine of gold,
What pleasure in a royal life,
If the heart within lay dead and cold
If I could not wed my Irish wife I,
I know the laws forbade the banns,
I know my King abhored her race;
Who never bent before his clans
Must b<>w before their ladies’ grace?
Take all my forfeited domain.
I cannot wage with kinsmen strife;
Take knightly gear and noble name,
And I will keep my Irish wife.
My Irish wife has clear, blue eyes,
My heaven by day, my stars by night,
And, twin-like, truth and fondness lie
Within her swelling bosom white.
My Irish wife has golden hair,
Appollo’s bad once such strings,
Appolo’s self might pause to hear
Her bird-like carol when she sings.
I would not give my Irish wife
For all the dames of the Saxon land,
I would not give my Irish wife
For the Queen qf France’s hand;
For she to me is dearer
Than castle’s strong, or lands, or life;
In death I would lie near her.
And rise beside my Irish wife.

Editors Telegraph and Messenger i In
one of your issues, of week before last, ap
pearecj the following :
“E. H. Grouby, pf the Early County
News, has left for parts unknown. He left
we suppose, to avoid being arrested, as we
are informed that on the evening before he
left he shot and wounded an inoffensive ne
gro mau, iiAuicd .. u_ >-
preacher in charge of the colored Method
ist church at that place.
Now, what weie the circumstances con
nected with the matter above referred to*?
They were simply these : This negro,
Gamble, is a notorious negro Radical
preacher, who has been ‘bellowing’ in and
near Blakely for a year or more, taking
great interest in the Radical affairs of the
day. It is a well known fact that J fraye
—through the Early County News and
otherwise —shown him and his co-workers
no quarter. Gamble, in order to injure
me, three different and distinct times tried
to get a negro in my employ to leave me.
I told him, after his first attempt if he did
so again, I would shoot him ;he did so
again, and I only repeated my first threat ;
doing so a third timo—trying to persuade
ray servant off; and speaking to me, I car
ried out my threat. As to whether I did
right or wrong, I will leave the public to
judge,
Now, as to why I left: I did so because
T did not wish to be arrested, from the fact
that a certain influence would no more give
me justice than it will get to Heaven J
could easily have given bond for my appear*
ance at Court, for I know that I have as
many warm and true Democratic friends in
Blakely and Early pounty as any man liv

there is r|>t some strong incitation to trane*

Pra&e and Blame —Few men are wige

Present and Future. —Most ipen vork

wise work for both—for the future in the
present, aud for the present in the future.
Vicious habits are so great a stain to
i)Uman nature and so odious in themselves,
that every person actuated by right reason
would avoid them, though he were sure
that they would be always concealed, both
from God and man, aud had no future pun

Precious Cunning —The expression may
be wistful and plain, with timidity or ten

or it .may be careless and tom-bOy with
sheer animal spirits, and it is called vulgar;
but either is safe. It is the precocious

details of a horrible tragedy that is said to
have occurred in St. Clair county, Alaba
ma. The rumor rups that the Tax Collec
tor of St. Clair had got together a large
amount of taxes and gave them to his wife
to keep, remarking as he did so that he
was compelled to take a trip that would
.necessitate his absence from home for three
or four days. He left and she hid the mon
ey. About ten o,clock that night a party
of men wearing dipguises, broke in upon
the lonely womau and demanded the tax
money. She refused to give it up or tell
where it was. After attempting in vain to
make her tell the hiding place of the treasure
they searched for it and found it. After pos
sessing themselves firmly of the money,
they ordered her to get them some supper.
While she was busying heiself in this
forced task she conceived the ides of puis*
oriing thSm, and thus preserving at once
the mouey and her husbands honor. She
quietly slipped some arsnic in tbe coffee
she was making. They drank hear’ily,
and fell desd shortly afterwards. She
slipped their disguises off and found that
two of tbe villains were strangers, but the
third was her basbsod, who bad taken this
means of stealing the taxes of the people

Death or Charles- Carter Lee. —The
death is announced of Charles Carter Loo,
at Windsor, his remacp.cc, in Powhatan
county, Va., on the 21st ult., ip the sev
enty third year of his age. Mr. Lee was
almost as well known throughout Virginia
aa his distinguished brothers, General R.
E. and Captain Sydney Smith Lee. To the
society of thirty years ago the deceased
was perhaps even better known, in which
his wit, literary attainments and fauiMy
connection, made him in Virginia and in
the brilliant circles of Washington, New
York and Boston a leader and au ornament
of uncommon attraction.
The Chinese Shoem akers. —The New
York Tribune says :
We get excellent reports of the Chinese
shoemakers employed by Mr. Sampson, at
North Adams, Mass. Their shoes sl*6 said
to be of a superior quality, owing to the
faithfulness of the workmanship, and they
turn out as much as an equal number of
American workmen. While sticking to
their blue cotton Chinese blouse, and re
fusing to part with the queue, in other re
spects they have adopted the ordinary dress
of this country. As operatives, Mr. Samp
son says that “they are absolutely unex
ceptionable.* Several benevolent persons
teach these foreigners on Sunday, and they
have shown great aptness for the acquisi
tion of the English language. Facts like
these demonstrate the utter wickedness of
maltreating a peaceful and harmless class
of immigrants.
Democratic Strength the House. —The
World says the three Democratic members
from New Hampshire, recently elected,
made their appearance upon the floor of
the House on Thursday and were sworn in
Subsequently, Mr. Edwards, of Arkansas,
another Democrat was admited. This
makes the Democratic strength in the

A Plenty of Cucumbers from Three Hills.
A correspondent of the Horticulturist de
scribes his way of making a cucumber
crop, as follows :
“I had a narrow border not more tl?an
two and a half feet wide, on the edge of a
iigh fence. I planted three cucumber hills
in the border, and laid some brushes, .(such
as is used for pea vines,) between them
and the fence. As soon as they crept up
to the brash, I pinched off the ends of the
- tji_ «ti/uU« ttitS
3L W^ b iu’-'every Action, throwing
ont the most vigorous foilago and profu
sion of flowers.
“I did not allow the cucumbers to grow,
but watched them, and such as I wished to
-reserve for the table I picked as soon
as they became of proper size ; all the
rest were gathered ever j day for pickles ;
every day pinching off the buds at the end
of each shoot. In this way the bill con
tinued fresh and productive until they
were touched by frost. Some judgment
can be formed of the value of this practice
when I add that more than a barrel of pick*
les were made from <hree hills, besides al
lowing a sopply for tbe table.*
We find in a French journal the follow
