TheCartersville American. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY, 5 1884. Bryani’j Aathur-boom in Georgia is destined to collapse for want of stuffing. A Frenchman has invented asteam sbip that will , cross the Atlantic in four days. Chicago is disgusted with Italian opera. In that city the hog instead of the monkey mnst dance around the organ. Lord Lytton spoke wisely when he said that the stomach is the seat of memory, lor a man is not likely to forget that he’s hungry. Atlanta is literally packed with pa triots who are dreadful anxious to serve their dear old native state. They would like to fill all the- state and federal offices. The Methodist church in the United states, claims an active membership of 4,000,000 souls. One hundred years ago it had only about 15,000, scattered from Boston to Georgia. Salvini and Edwin Booth do not agree in their conceptions of King Lear, but they agree that maccaroni and ham hold the balance of power. A writer of natural history says that he is at a loss to discover how long a dog lives. This should not cause perplexity, as the average dog generally lives until he dies. An Indiana editor was sued for breach of promise, but when he ex plained that the girl had a mania for making scrap quilts, the court excus ed him and imposed the cost on the plaintiff. Atlanta furnishes more runaway girls than any other city of its size in America. And these girls seem to drift towards Macon as naturally as a duck takes to water. Billy Mahona defending the honor of Virginia! What ridiculous sar casm! What senseless bosh! This little champion of sneaky meanness must bo endeavoring to become hum - orous. 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 congress for some time and has caused 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’ cause. Such an effort would likely gi ve the political circles of the French republic a lively interest lor awhile. 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 terms of the “majority” of the good people of Virginia. We wonder where the “majority” of the goo* people of Virginia would put slimy Billy,if they had, at present,the dis posal of his little carcass. Louisville boasts of a man who is always drunk, but has never tasted any intoxicating mixture in his life. He staggers, talks huskily, has a tod dj blysaom on bis Doseand a boquet on each cheek and his eyes are blear ed. He was locked up under guard for five days, to get him sober, when it was discovered he suffered from a peculiar affliction. He is gifted with a wonderful memory. 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 nel, how can we injure the chances of the general? He isn’t exactly of our stripe and we must down him.” “Y'es, I know. Say, i have it. Let us publish newspaper articles declar ing that he Ijs vigorous and that age has not affected him.” ‘‘But that is 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.

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.
