BANNER-WATCHMAN. 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 race lor re-nomination. A meaner man was never shelved. But he still handles the Jacobin campaign funds. He is the regular stamped, indorsed nnd authorized robber of the Guiteau administration. 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. . Macon Telegraph: the Southern pxilicyof Guiteau’s Arthur will never lie indorsed by the decent people of signed Pledger’s petition are merely U*? h “ r ’ 8 . man G ° rllam J‘ nd 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.

There is a colored couple In Austin, Uncle Nance and Aunt Sukey, bis wife, who have been married more 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 de wait, when we was fixed so corn- fable, wld all the conveniences?” re plied Aunt Sukey, as she heaved a JWPjl niiif'i vil Vi xijAnq .,.... . “Dem good ole days am neber,neber gwine ter come back,” responded the old darkey, wiping away a tear. “Dey am neber gwine to come back,” repeated Aunt Sukey dismally. “Now we has got nufin’ but tinware on de table; but ip dose days, don’t you remember, ole man, how we used to fTow chlney, real chlney clip; wufl fifty cents apiece, across de table at each udder?” ni«u ■' l* ' ' Tbe oldman's foce lighted up with tbe m—wiry of bappisrxlays, and - he looked twenty years younger as he talked about the new ton dollar/ pair of boots he wore out on her person,and the expensixe silk ‘ dress he tore up for her because she sold his razor strop to a peddler for some “fishal flowers and tedders and sich truck.” zling. He began life in the piny woods a poor snub-nosed, freckled-faced boy. When the war came on he was so lucky as to getdetailed as an under- I strapper for a post quarter-master. He was shrewd enough to make the 1 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^ ing of Mrs. Emerald Verdigris and his two children, Miss Samantha Jane and Dulcarilda P. Verdigris. The plunder he had saved gave him a handsome start and with the wonder ful opportunities presented by our city he walked right along into wealth without measure—built a forty thousand dollar mansion on Peach tree and is to-nay a magnificent ex ample of the strange caprice of for tune. Mrs. Emerald Verdigris is his wife —a dutiful and very worthy wife to besure. She was not always an au 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 dreams, to the place from whence she came. It might possibly make her a little more subdued In her pretensions to aristocratic dignity.
