Lord Lytton spoke wisely when he

The Methodist church in the United

Salvini and Edwin Booth do not

A writer of natural history says
that he is at a loss to discover how

An Indiana editor was sued for

Atlanta furnishes more runaway

Billy Mahona defending the honor

If the republicans are to run the
government for four more years, we
hope and trust that Arthur or Blaine
or Hayes or Conkliug or anybody
else, but Sherman, will be the man.
Edmunds may be an intellectual
giant; his brain may weigh a couple
of tons, or more. Of one thing we
are certain: his great mind has been
horribly warped and his heart is
about the size of a hickory nut, and
is at least three times as hard.
Fred Douglass’ marriage with a
white woman will have much to do
with lowering him, in estimation of
the more sensible of his race, and
make his name odious to the decent
white citizens.
The house has passed the bill for
the relief of Fitzjohn Porter. This
has been one of the most extensively
discussed bills that has been before

much bitter feeling between those who
advocated it and those opposing it.
Prince Jerome Napoleon has in
formed the Bonapartist’s that the
time had arrived to commence legal
operations and untiring agitation for
the promotion yf the Bonapartists’

Does John Sherman believe what
he says in regard to southern people?
If he does, he is a narrow-minded,
grossly ignorant ass. If he does not,
he is an unworthy cur. While such
men hold office in the .United States,
there is little hope of ever seeing the
north and south on friendly terms.
' Fred Douglass, the acknowledged
leader of the negro race in the United
states, recently married Helen M.
Pitts.a white woman of Washington,
D. C. * Fred is 73 years old and
Helen is 35. Our sympathies are all
with Fred. We are truly sorry for
the man who lives with a white
woman who is base enough to marry
a negro.
That blotch on humanity, familiar
ly known as Billy Mahone, let off
some of his bile iu the United States
senate last week. He spoke in high

Billy,if they had, at present,the dis
posal of his little carcass.

General Ben Butler has given up
the use of tobacco. When asked
why, at his age, he desired to forego
such a luxury, the old fellow replied.
•‘Well, I have been using tobacco
nearly all my life and I have come
to the conclusion that it is injuring
my health. Aside from that, I think
it lessens my capacity for work.”
Jhe general is a very ambitious fel
low and will allow nothing to stand
in the way of his advancement. We
are hourly expecting to hear that
Tiiden has given up eigaretfes.
Political Caucus—“ Let’s see, colo

“Y'es, I know. Say, i have it. Let

a fact, for he is vigorous.” “Makes
no difference. The public would re
gard t.heatatement as a lie, and will
take up the idea that his friends are
trying to bolster him up. Don’t jou
see?”
THF BLOODY SHIRT.
There is a class of men at the north
who are vindictive, bigoted and un
patriotic. These meu seem to esteem
it their duty never to learn anything
and never to forget (anything. Mal
ice and revenge enter largely into
their composition. Unfortunately
some of these men hold high office
and wield an immense and damag
ing influence. Would that it were
otherwise.
We know that the most delicate
relations exist between the north
and the south; that there is a decid
ed proneness on the part of the north
to misconceive and misrepresent
whatever is done at the south, and
an extreme sensitiveness among
southern people as to their patriot
ism and fidelity to the Union. While
it is expedient for southerners to
give no occasion of offense to north
ern sentiment—especially when no
vital question is at issue—yet duty
and manhood cry out against a tame
submission to policies, an acquies
cence in which would largely dimin
ish our self-respect and retard our
progress.
It is a difficult matter to reconcile
the quiet fortitude with which the
men of the south have borne, ever
since the war, the insults and indig
nities heaped upon them by carpet
baggers and unprincipled demago
gues, with the proud and chivalric
spirit that has ever characterized
this people. It was not because they
feared federal bayonets. Their his
tory gives the lie to such a supposi
tion. But it was because they were
a conservative and law-abiding peo
ple, and were anxious to do all with*
in their power to appease the bitter
animosities engendered by the war*
When there is no great sectional
•issue dividing the north and the
south; when, as far as the sections
of the country are concerned, every
thing is flowing along as smoothly
as a river of oil; when all, from the
lakes to the gulf and from the Atlan
tic to the Pacific coast, are forgetting
the past bitterness and looking for
ward to a brighter future; how la
mentable it is that a man is to be
found in the United States senate
who Is base enough and cruel enough
and vindictive enough to dig up the
hatchet, smear on the war paint, rip
open afresh the old and fast healing
wounds, and raise on high the abom
inable bloody shirt! Detestable
wretch! He is a traitor —he is worse
than a traitor—to his country! Better
for himself—better for the country—
had he never seen the light of day!
Let the good and loyal people, of
every state, of every creed, of ever
color, of every age and of every par
ty, all over the land, frown upon and
stigmatize as low and moan and cow
ardly any jaan who would, by word
or deed, endeavor to array one sec
tion against any other section of this
grand old Union!
A PRESSING NEED.
We respectfully call the attenion
of the citizens of Cartersville to the
fact that our city is sorely in need of
a first class school house. We confi
dently assert that no other city of its
size in the state is so poorly equip
ed in the way of school houses.
Why is this? We have no great debt
hanging over us. Our people have
children to be educated. We are as
prosperous as any other people in the
state. We have in our very midst as
good teachers as can be found. And
yet the only school house in town
that verges on to respectability, is
owned and controlled by a private
citizen.
We suppose that the reason for this
Is, that no one feels it to be his du y
to make a start. Now we propose
that we have a mass meeting of our
citizens in the opera house to con
sider the practicability of building a
first class school house. Let us meet
together and exchange views in re
gard to i lans, &c. Will not some of
our leading business men take this
matter in hand? We do not believe
there is a man in Cartersvihe who
would oppose such a movement.
Let there be a general and enthusias
tic move all along the Kne and the
the thing is easily and nicely accom
plished.
At a fashionable reception in Wash
ington the hostess, noticing a suspici
ous-lsokiug character arnoog the
guests, directed her son’s attention to
him, saying, "I thought I had taken
care to invite no Western Congress
men.” “Ho isn’t a Western Congress
man, mother,” explained the young
man; “I saw him have his boots black
ed just before became in.”
Subscriber—No; “Crazy as a bed
bug’’ is not a refined expression for a
young lady to use. You should say,
“Crazy as a bedquilt,”
THE PRESIDENTIAL OUT
LOOK.
The discussiou of presidential can
didates has subsided somewhat of
late. Neither party seemed to have
found a man upon whome their sever
al factions can harmoniously unite.
We observe,however, thatour indus
trious contemporary, the Chattanooga
Democrat, acting upon the ancient
law, that the early bird catches the
worm, has already selected its candi
dates, and run their names up to the
masthead. It is the old ticket, and
this is the form in which it throws
its flag to the breeze:
“Our Ticket for 1884.
For President:
SAMUEL J. TILJjEN,
Of New York.
The ablest and soundi3st living dem
ocrat, and the only statesman whose
caudidaey would put deuiocratic vic
tory beyond cavil.
For Vice-President:
THOMAS A. HENDJRIOKS,
Of Indiana.
A statesman whose record, public
and private, bears no mark of dis
honor, and whose nomination would
carry with it the electoral vote ot In
diana.”
Other journals have expressed their
preferences, especially those in the
northwest. The names of McDon
ald, Hoadly, Holman and Payne
have been presented one day, only to
be withdrawn or discredited as una
vailable the next. In the far west
tho name of Judge Field is now and
then mentioned as an eminently fit
person to receive the nomination.
Governor Cleveland and Governor
Pattison, whose names filled a large
space in the newspapers some months
ago, are never mentioned now. The
same may be said of Speaker Carlisle
and others who have been alluded to
in rather a speculative way by par
tial friends in different parts of the
country.
It has not escaped observation that
the New York Sun and the Louis
ville Courier-Journal, two very fa3t
friends of Mr. Tiiden, have taken the
lead in all this discussion. It has
seemed to be their role t© call atten
tion to every man in the country
whose name has ever been thought
of in this connection, only to con
clude later on that the party could
not afford to make such a nomina
tion. In the meantime those astute
journals, whilst protesting apparent
ly with the utmost earnestness that
Mr. Tiiden would not accept the
nomination under any circumstan
ces, have taken the greatest pains to
assure the country that his health is
excellent, and that he is equal to any
emergency. The meaning of all
this, as we read it, is that Mr. Tikfen
will accept the nomination, and that
he and his confidential are
laboring to that end. Should he dis
cover, however, that his health is too
uncertain, or the nomination is not
to be had, then he will desire to
name the candidates, to wit: Hoadly
and Flower, or Flower and Hoadly.
We conclude, therefore, that our
Chattanooga contemporary is not so
far wrong, and that the nomination
rests between Tiiden,Hoadly, Flower
and Judge Field.— Telegraph and
Messenger.
Our theatre going people should
observe the following rules for ap
plauding, as set forth iu a society
journal:
The proper form for applauding
an opera or play, is to prepare for
the outburst of appreciation before
the end of the air that arouses it is
reached. The hands are slowly rais
ed at about the middle of the final
effort and the right is held suspended
over the left, even as the maternal
slipper is held for a moment hover
ing over t.he person of the offending
boy, the mouth slowly opens, the
hands are stretched widely apart un
til the person attached thereto looks
like a hand organ grinder’s mo: key
begging for pennies, and as the last
note-is taken the hands clash togeth
er with mighty force and the shout
of bravo rends the air.
THE DIVORCE EVIL.
The Savannah Morning News
furnishes the following pertinent
thoughts in regard to the granting
of divorces:
There are indications that those
who make and those who administer
the laws are beeominer aroused to
the danger to society from the rapid
ly increasing number of divorces in
almost every state. The ease with
which divorces are obtained encour
ages people to seek them, who, for
any cause, want to dissolve their
marriage relations. In some of the
states the number of divorces in pro
portion to the number of marriages
is absolutely startling. On Tuesday
last the Governor of Rhode Island, in
his annual message to the legislature,
called attention to the fact that the
state had acquired a reputation for
easy divorces as unenviable as that
which it has for illiteracy. He pre*
sented some figures which can hard
ly tail;to make a deep impression on
the public mind. It must be re
membered that one-third of the po
pulation of Rhode Island is Roman
Catholic. The adherents of that
church do not figure to any extent in
the divorce courts. But, counting
the Roman Catholic marriages, there
was m 1882 one divorce for every
1)7-10 marriages. For the ten years
ending December 81,1832, there were
2,824 applications for divorce, of
which 2,201 were granted. This
number is remarkably large for a
population so small us that of Rhode
Island. In the majority of these cas
es there was no appearance by the
defendants. In many of them the
reason alleged for the divorce
uas adultery, and yet there was no
prosecution of anyone for adultery
based on the evidence given in these
divorce suits. The Governor urged
on the legislature the necessity of leg
islation to check the divorce evil.
In Cincinnati last week a judge re
fused a divorce to the Rector of the
Cincinnati University, because he
discovered from the testimony that
neither the Rector nor his wife had
attended to their duties with suffici
ent devotion to entitle them to a di
vorce. This Judge was cleariy not
an advocate of easy divorces. If there
were a few more like him there would
soon be a healthier tone apparent in
society respecting divorces. Lately,
in Chicago, J udge Shepard decided
that a womau’s legal residence is
where that of her husband is. Tin;
laws of Illinois require a year’s resi
dence before a divorce can be obtain
ed there.
Chicago divorces cannot be secured
by women whose husbands do not
reside in that state.since this decision.
Before this decision, TChicago was
about the easiest place in the coun
try to obtain a divorce, and both meu
and women resorted there for that
purpose. They can secure lodgings
there for the legal time, and thus
meet the requirements of the law.
The cases cited show that the po
pular mind is being drawn towards
the divorce evil. More stringent
legislation with the view of check
ing it will certainly be demanded in
the near future. The dangers to be
apprehended from it are too great to
permit it to continue to increase
without an effort to remedy it.
HON. U. B. WILKINSON.
We take pleasure in reproducing
the following complimentary notices
of the Hon. U. B. Wilkinson, of
Nownan, Georgia, Maj. Wilkinson
is an experienced financier, an honest
man, a genuine democrat and a Chris
tian gentleman. Georgia will be
fortunate, indeed, if she selects Maj.
Wilkinson to succeed Mr. Speer :
We are pleased to note the favor
able comment of the state press in
reference to the candidacy of our
esteemed townsman, Maj. U. B.
Wilkinson, lor state treasurer. We
have no doubt that he will receive
the solid support ef the Fourth con
gressional district, where he is well
known as a man of sterling integrity
and eminent financial ability.
The following just tribute from the
LaGrange RepoUer shows how he
stands his neighbors:
“Maj U. B. Wilkinson of Newnan,
is favorably spoken of by the press
as a fitting successor to Treasurer
Speer. As in duty bound, the Re
porter will champion the claims of
Major Speer, should he desire a re
election, but if he is bent on retiring
from the labors and emoluments ot
his office, we know of no one more
competent to take care of the State’s
money than Maj. Wilkinson, who to
unflinching integrity adds the ability
to make a bond of equal strength
with that of tho present incumbent.
We think it should be the policy of
the state to place in this responsible
office only the most experienced fin
anciers.”
The Cartersville American also
speaks as follow*: “It is said that
Mr. Speer will not be a candidate
for re-election to the office of State
Treasurer, and iu the event that he
is not, Maj. U. B. Wilkinson, ofCow
eta, has been mentioned very favor
ably as his successor. He is said to
be a man of line business qualifica
tions and if he should become the
keeper of Georgia’s exchequer, it
would be in safe and efficient hands.’
—Newnan Herald.
SENATOR BUTLER’S BILL AND THE NE
GROES.
The tone of the South Carolina
press indicates that Senator Butler’s
bill to abolish all internal revenue
taxes is not popular in the state. It
isn’t popular In any southern state.
The southern people, it is true,would
like to be rid of the spies and in
formers which the internal revenue
system supports, but there is not as
much groundforcomplaintagainst in
ternal revenue officials as there used
to be. The southern people know
that if internal revenue taxes are
abolished it will be a long while be
fore there will be any material re
duction in the tariff. What they
want is cheap necessaries, not cheap
whisky. They do not care how dear
whisky is. In a number of southern
states there is a rapidly growing
tempertance movement. This move
ment is not supported alone by these
enthusiasts who desire to save people
from the evil effects of temperance.
It is advocated and aided by planters,
farmers and tax-payers generally,
who see that whisky imposes addi
tional burdens upon them in the
shape of heavy criminal expenses
and lessens their ability to bear these
Durdens by destroying their laborers.
Whisky is the greatest enemy of the
nogro. It is impossible to approxi
mately estimate the proportion ofthe
earnings of the negroes of the fouth
which is spent for whisky, but it is
B#fe to assume that it i3 greater than
the amount they spend for bread
clothes aud the education of their
children. The belief is that intern*
perance among them is on the in
crease, and it is certain that as in
temperance increases their worth as
laborers will decrease. Free whisky
would encourage intemperance, be
cause it could be more easily ob
tained. Make whisky cheap and the
negroes would buy it by the gallon
instead of by the dram. The whisky
jug aud demijohn would soon
become familiar objects in their
cabins. The very cheapness of the
article would be a temptation foi
them to buy it. Under such circum
stances the improvement in their
condition would be slow# If, how
ever, the cost of necessaries were
lessened tendency would be to en
courage the negroes. They would be
able, perhaps, to save sotnthing from
their vvages, and eventually pur
chase such implements and tools as
they would need to cultivate small
patches of ground for themselves.
They would see the possibility of
purchasing small, com for table homes
and wonld strive to accomplish that
object. The effect of free whisky on
the negro; population is one strong
reason why the Butler bill is not
popular in tho south. The planters
want their laborers improved, not
demoralized. So far as the white
people of the south are concerned
there can be no question that they
would prefer cheap necessaries to
cheap whisky.— Sav. News.
PATRIOTISM,
An American young lady was on
the shore of the Bay of Naples, enjoy
ing herself, and a blue kerosene bar
rel came floating along, a barrei such
as is used td ship kerosene from
America. The girl looked at the
messenger from home, got to think
ing of her native land, and became
so homesick that she started for home
by the first ship. This loyalty to
home, love of one’s native land, is in
all hearts. When away from home,
the sight of the most common-place
thing from thedear place of nativity,
seems sweet indeed. The Milwau
kee lady who w is in Mexico and saw
a canvas ham hanging up in front of
a store, labeled with the name of a
Milwaukee firm, and wanted to hug
the ham, and cried as she passed it,
was made homesick by the sigh.
The Milwaukee woman in California
who wanted to get down on her
knees in front of a Milwaukee beer
sign, in front of a saloon, illustrated
her loyalty to home. The Chicago
lady, visiting in New York, who
found a newsboy selling her favorite
western paper, and felt so happy
that she wanted to take him in her
arms and squeeze him, is another
illustration of how a thing from
home, of however little consequence,
breaks a person all up. But it seems
laughable to those who do not under
stand it, to see a person go into
cies over a kerosene barrel, or a ham,
or a beer sign, or a newspaper from
home. They do not understand it,
unless they have been there.—Peck’s
Sun.
This is a touching phase of human
nature. The delicate perfume of a
fish or the flutter of a crow often
turns the exile homeward. It is in
born patriotism, and is never brought
out in more admirable relief than
from the true American nature.
Sometime ago, an Arkansaw man,
while in a foreign country, witnessed
the hanging of a train robber. He
gazed for a moment, struggling with
the emotional recollections of home,
and then, in a wild burst of patriotic
devotion, rushed forward, bugged
the sheriff, threw his hat high in the
air, took a drink from a pocket flask,
and then in a dreamy aud fond re
trospection, leaned against a post of
the scaffold.—Ar&ansaw Traveler.

A HOPEFUL BUSINESS OUTLOOK
The country ha o passed safely
through the month of Jauuary with
out any serious business trouble. In
fact with less than was witnessed
during the closing month of the.old
year. At that time it was predicted
that the settlements for the year
would develop a bad condition of af
fairs, and the new year would open
disastrously. A month has gone by,
aud instead of greater depression there
is a very hopeful outlook, and an in
creasing confidence in the ability of
the country, by reason of its immense
and varied resources, to stand a con
siderable curtailment iu the volume
of trade, without any violent financial
or trade disturbances The report
during the past month showed that
many of the manufacturing estab
lishments in the porth and west
which had been “shut down,” were
resuming work, and in Wall street,
which ii the thermometer which
shows the country’s financial condi
tion, the renewal of speculations
that there is no scarcity of money. In
the south, the failures nave nearly
all been among very small dealers,
and their troubles have not caused
any serious losses to thecreditordass.
Looking back there is reason to be
thankful that the month just closed
in which so much of evil to business
was predicted has passed with so few
disasters, and that February opens so
much more hopefully than January
did. —Morning News.
