MR. SPEER'S DEFENSE.
■' Congressman Speer, In his election
eering orations, has confined himself
to but one speech, and that is a pite
ous ■wail for mercy, spiked with abuse
of gentlemen who honestly oppose
him, and seasoned with a few of those
dirty stories foff which he has ever
lieen pre-eminent. There is no doubt
of its being a good address,for it would
lie folly for any one acquainted with
the talent of Mr. Speer to say that he
would get up before an audience and
deliver anything else but a fine ora
tion. We have never as yet doubted
ids ability, and it Mr. Speer would on
ly tuni this gift into the proper chan
nel i would result in great good to
his country. But instead of this he
has sacrificed it at the shrine of his
selfish and inordinate ambition, and
liis power ofeloquence has certainly
proved a fearful curse to our people.
But while Mr. Speer’s speech is gilded
with plausibility, and is calculated to
convince when only one side is heard
or when the people do not know his
political record, at the same time a
careful analysis of his defense will
show that it was prepared solely with
an eye to deceive the unwary and is
an attempt to cover up his own trans
gressions by exposing the acts of oth
ers. He denies no charge that has
lieen made against him,but in extenu
ation reads a paper signed by certain
prominent citizens of Athens, recom
mending W.A.Pledger for postmaster.
Now, if Mr. Hpeer would explain the
the whole history of that Pledger pe
tition Ills hearers would see at once
that it was given in self-defense by a
few democrats of Athens, with the
hope of at least controlling the Ath
ens post-ottice in the interest of the
white race. These gentlemen had
conclusive evidence that Mr. Speer
intended to put one of Ills negro ring
leaders and pets into the ofitce, with
the intention of liavjng it run in his
iuterebt. At this instant Pledger ap
peared with a paper asking signa
tures, in which he assured the people
that if lie was appointed he would
turn over to ills white friends the en
tire management of the office. Be
tween two evils, the few gentlemen
who signed Pledger's petition did
what they thought was best—the
same ns tiiose democrats who voted
for Greeley in preference to Grant.
They saw that Mr. Speer was deter
mined to force a colored postmaster
upon them, and they simply express
ed their opinion as to the man. But
Mr. Speer’s influence with the radi
cal administration seemed stronger
than the wish of the people and he
cart led his point. It is needless to
say that our congressman could not
not have secured us a white postmas
ter had he so willed, for did he not
have his so-called democratic ?)
friend at Gainesville appointed? Is
there any other city in Georgia ol the
size and importance of Athens thus
affilcted? No; he knew that to the
colored vote lie owes his elevation to
office, and he wished to strengthen
liis power with that race by elevating
their leaders to the highest offices
within his gift. We have from his
own pen confessions wherein he
writes to his black supporters and
gloats over the elevation of Mat Da
vis ns postmaster at Athens, and if he
will only fulfill his promise and re
move that injunction from tills office
. we will show that in the palmiest
days of radicalism no supporter ol
Bullock ever stooped to the degrading
ends that has Mr. Hpeer. Bet him but
step from behind the law,and we will
make every southern born white muu
in the ninth district blush at the
thought that he ever espoused the
cause of Kmory Hpeer.
But even admitting, for the sake of
argument, that a few democrats in
Athens did wilfully and premedita-
tively encourage the appointment of
Pledger ns postmaster at Athens. Does
this fact lesson Mr. Speer’s responsi
bility any? Is the entire white popu
lation of the uiuth district to be held
accountable for the acts of a few men
in Athens? Is there any justice in
Mr. Hpeer visiting the transgressions
of tills little handful of signers upon
liis entire white constituency? Be
sides, tile gentlemen who conditionally
able white men out of office,that their
places might he filled by bis negro
leaders, who he thinks can carry their
race to the polls like dumb cattle. It
is he thst now stands at the bar of
Judgment^not a few private citizens.
It is he in whom the people have re
posed this high trust, and to him alone
will they bold responsible. Bet him
clear his own skirts, and not attempt
to shirk this infamy by the old rogue’s
cry or “stop thief!” pointing at inno
cent victims. The people do not care
to hear the record or a few private citi
zens. They want to see Mr. Speer
clear his own skirts of those negro
office-holders that flood the ninth dis
trict. /• i. . ■/
A man from Oconee remarked yes
terday that if cow food was as scarce
In that county os Speer voters
their cattle would starve to death next
winter.
Mr. Hpeer says the high water pre
vented his not having all of Jackson
countv at his feet daring his late
sjicech in Jefferson. There is no doubt
about his having made a water-haul.
The Speer men now sneeringly de
nominate Col. Candler “the one-eyed
plow-boy.” We think there arc enough
old soldiers and farmers in the ninth
district to revenge this contemptuous
insult at the polls.
The Young Democracy of Clarke
will carry their county for Candler.
The noses have been counted, and yon
may just set it down os a fact that
Hpeer’s 1,100 majority is totally oblit
erated. We know whereof we speak.
The Filtli-Sllnger says Mr. Hpeer
has defended his constituents without
money and without price. This will
he news to a certain lady in Athens,
whose entire farm he mortgaged too
money lender so as to cellect a fee of
about (100.
Jay Hubbell has been defeated in his

He is the regular stamped, indorsed

THE STEAM ENGINE DOOMED.
ran Halt Oaiettc.
Whatever else may survive In the
future, Dr. Siemens is certain that the
steam engine is doomed. Its fate is
first to be confined to the driving of
large dynamo machines, which will
distribute force at present supplied by
a myriad of small and wasteful steam
engines, and then to be superseded al
together by the gas engine. Gas and
electricity maybe mutually hostile,
but they are to unite their forces in or
der to extirpate the steam engine.
The unpardonable sin of the steam
engine ia that of waste. Eve"j the best
of them consume two pounds of coal
per hone-power per hour; whereas,
says Dr. Siemens, when the gas-pro
ducer has taken the place of the com
plex and dangerous steam boiler, It
will not take one pound of coal to de
velop one horse-power for one hour.
But before gas banishes steam it will
supersede coal as the agent for the de
velopment of steam. A pound of gas
gives forth exactly twice the heat of a
pound of coal, and even this may be
improved upon. To burn raw coal is
to squander our inheritance. Dr.
Siemens gave some startling figures to
prove that the by-products of the coal
annually used in gas making are worth
three millions sterling more than the
coal used in producing them, without
allowing anything for the value of the
gas. Besides the produets already
utilized 130,000 tons of sulphur are now
wasted every year, which may yet he
converted into a source of income. By
abolishing the use of raw coal, Dr.
Siemens maintains that science, as
with some magician’s wand, will
“banish the black pall of smoke which
hangs over our great cities, and restore
to them pure air, bright sun-shine,
and blue skies.” Nor shall we eveu
have to sutler as compensation from
the multiplication of euorinous gas
ometers. The coal will be converted
into gas at the bottom of the mine—a
prospect not altogether to he contem
plated without alarm by the workers in
fiery - seams—and the gas carried by
pipes wherever it is wanted. Electric
ity will also be made largely service
able for tlie distribution of power.
Even after allowing fifty pier eent. for
loss in transmission, the gain is still
enormous. The electric light will
chiefly lie confined to lighting public
places. The gas light will hold its
own as “the poor man’s friend,” and
gas heating will become universal.
Thus, in the near foture Dr. Siemens
unfolds liefore our eyes a world iu
which there will be no smoke and no
steam, and where coal will only be
visible in the immediate vicinity of
the pit. Electricity will light our
streets, gas will cook our dinners, and
driving power will be laid on by wire
wherever it is wanted. There will he
no pollution of rivers, for every waste
product will be utilized, and the sul
phurous fumes which have converted
whole counties into scenes of dark
desolation will lie employed in making
the wilderness to blossom as the rose,
and in restoring fertility to our ex-
hnusted soil. In short, science at last
will begin to liunish all the manifold
aliominations by which “the black
age” of manufactures has defaced the
lieauty of our land. It is not liefore
time.
Mr*. Emerald Verdigris.
An old granger from Banks says he
believes the only speech Mr. Speer has
ever made in Congress was the one
about the Chinese, as he brags about
and reads nothing else. The old man
sayB lie don’t believe in paying a man
(5,000 a year to abuse the heathens.
In Carnesville,on one occasion,when
Mr. Speer was In the democratic ranks,
he stated that |he only difference be
tween a negro woman and a cow is
that the cow lias the longest tail. His
latter day bid for the colored vote by
reading his sickening Chinese speech
is very transparent. -
They say Mr. Spicer showed his had
temper and disappointment in Dan-
ielsville, and remarked in conversa
tion that if tliepieople didn’t wapt him
in. congress he was independent of
them. The gentleman recognizes the
fact that his defeat is certain, and he
can’t disguise it.
AVe see the Gainesville Filth-Sling-
er is now suggesting Emory 8peer
for the United States Senate. Well,
the old Yankee-Doodle had better be
gin to pick out another berth for hia
boss, as Allen Candler has written
on the seat “Our Emory” lately occu
pied in Congress, “Taken.”
Do the mountain boys know that
Mr. Spieer’s supporters In the lower
counties are arguing that Col. Candler
is nothing hut a North Georgia crack
er, and are ridiculing him on account
of his lieing born in Lumpkin county?
Help us to elect tlie “one-eyed plow by telling who Mr. Emerald Verdigris
boy” to eongres,and we guarantee that i is. Mr. Emerald Verdigris is an At-
he will make os good a representative lanta capitalist. His wealth is daz-
Southern Methodist.
As Mrs. Emerald Verdigris will be
frequently quoted as the representa
tive of Peachtree upper tendorn it
may not he amiss that we tell who
Mrs. Emerald Verdigris is. AVe will
premise tlie introduction, however,
as your college-bed piatricinns.
AVe see that Mr. Spieer bus written
an account of his Jefferson spieeeh to
the Atlanta Herald, in which he
speaks of liis large aud enthusiastic
audience. AVe have it from undoubt
ed authority that every white man
present sat within the bar, and that
wasn't near full, and the only sign of
applause he received was a cheer from
one negro when he read his Chinese
speech. .

private citizens—ihey do not wish or
ask office—and their acts are not the
property of the people.
Air. Speer also reads what purfml* to
lie a letter from Governor Colquitt,
endorsing Pledger for this office. The
Governor has already requested us to
brand that document as a forgery aud
any statement that he has endorsed
Pledger for office as a falsehood. The
only endorsement he has ever given
Pledger was a certificate as to his
character and standing, when Pledger
was a leading member of the same
church as the Governor. It seems
that ho was about to leave for the
north and asked Gov.Colqultt to write
him a letter of endorsement. This he
readily did, but it was simply intend
ed as an introduction and recommen
dation as to his character. There
y was no political significance whatever
in it, for Pledger was not at that time
an applicant for office. But when he
applied for the Athens post-office,
among the other papers he filed in the
government department was this en
dorsement. Mr. Hpeer, being hand
and glove witli tlie republican admin
istration, gained possession of the
same, .and is now endeavoring
lo torture a simple act of Christian
kindness on the part of Gov. Colquitt
into an endorsement for Pledger os
postmaster at Athens, so as to exten-
uate his own course In kicking an ac
ceptable white man outof office to give
place to one of bis colored ring lead
ers. Mr. Hpeer is welcome to all the
capital ho can make out of the Col
quitt letter. To say the least, it does
seem very inconsistent iu Mr. Speer
to be reading such a letter from the
stump, when he has enjoined this of
fice from publishing his own political
missives.
As we before said, Mr. Speer does
not attempt to explain his own course
in Ibis matter; but rather seeks to
pal late his work by harping on acts
of private citizens. They are not the
representative of the people in con
grass, and so are in no manner respon
sible to the public. Mr, Speer is paid
(6,000 per annum by the people to at
tend to this business, and to him alone
will they look for protection, and him
alone will they bold responsible for
the indignities placed upon them.
AVben the few gentlemen who ^signed
Pledger’s petition become mfeAttai. of
the national assembly then the public
will have a right to question their
acts; but so long as they continue In
' tin- walk* of private life, Mr. Speer or
no one else lias the right h» bold them
accountable; neither ia It fair to at
tempt to fix upon tbe democratic par
ty the acts of a few private oitisens.
No; Mr. Emory Speer la alone res
ponsible for kicking good and accept-
Jacobin Hubbell may as well recognize
the fact. There is hut one Malione—
on tlie same principal that there is but
one Beelzebub, and the slimy hands of
the administration in feeling around
for another, in Georgia, will feel in
vain.

Uncle Nance and Aunt Sukey, bis

than forty years, and who have quar
reled steadily all the time. They are
not in as flourehing circumstances, fi
nancially, as they used to be before,
the war, and this was tbe subject un
der discussion a few nights ago In their
shanty on Austin avenue:
“We is getting poorer and poorer
ebry yeah,” remarked old Nance,
mournfully.
“Dat’s so, for a. fact. Doesn’t you
remember deni good old days befoah

plied Aunt Sukey, as she heaved a

“Dem good ole days am neber,neber

old darkey, wiping away a tear.
“Dey am neber gwine to come

“Now we has got nufin’ but tinware

a poor snub-nosed, freckled-faced boy.
When the war came on he was so
lucky as to getdetailed as an under- I

most of his opportunities and he came !
out of the war well heeled with loot, j
With a keen money instinct he saw *
that the piny woods was no longer a j
field for bis genius so he gathered up
his spoils and came back to theoity
bringing with him his family consist^

his two children, Miss Samantha

Mrs. Emerald Verdigris is his wife
—a dutiful and very worthy wife to

thority in fashions as she is now. She
was once simply Dolly Jones, a bux
om piny woodB girl, who thought noth
ing of holding a yearling calf off by
the tail while her sister Sally milked
the cow. But that was forty years
ago. and it is as hard now for Mrs.
Emerald Verdigris to realize that she
was once the simple Dolly Jones as it
would have been then for simple Dol
ly Jones to dream that fortune held in
the future for her such a wonderful
and bewildering gift of roses and pret
ty things. It would be better perhaps
for the little proprieties of upperten-
dom if she could so far stoop from her
dizzy pedestal as to go back, if only in
