The Cartersvilie American. i;.SI)AY, FEBRUARY 10, IHB4. — pudeß of the most aesthetic type lire infesting Washington society about now. Gen. Butler says ne is out of poli tic* for good. Of course he means for the country’s good. Ex-Senator Mc.Ponald continues to feel the public pulse, as it is repie sented in Washington. It is rumored that Senator Brown will not be a eauidate for re-election to the United States Senate. Saratoga is asking the priviligo of feeding the national democratic con vention from the luxuries of her aris tocratic board. The cut in the Constitution for last Saturday morning gives a pretty good idea of how our new capitol building will look when completed. It will be a magnificent structure. It would be a glorious thing for Georgia if our legislature would make it a crime for any one to buy, sell or own any deadly weapon that can be concealed on the person. Are the presidential conventions to be discussed and held, regardless oi)our uncle David Davis’ claims? This is not right, our uncle David is large enough to have a boom, il nothing more, and his friends should see to it that he gets one. Is slimy John Sherman happy? Ilis investigating committees are at work, doing their best to gather up enough gore to make a pretty little red shirt to be waved during the next presidental campaign. We suppose he is very jubilant. Complaint is being made of the in adequacy of the postal service on the Western and Atlantic railroad. No doubt there is cause for this complaint. The W. and A. railroad is one of the busiest thoroughfares in the south, and its postal service should be increased without delay. If the voters of the fifth congression al district refuse to return Col. N. J* Hammond to Congress, it will be a great mistake. We have two men in Congress from Georgia —-Hammond and Turner, To displace either ot them would be almost as bad as elect ing an independent. A Philadelphia judge has refused to grTPfffV woman licence to practice law. He claims that tlio uniform rule of the courts o' Pensylvania were against it, and would not take the re sponsibility by introducing the inno vation. This judge is evidently not a woman’s rights advocate. An old prohibitionist has despaired of the temperence movement ever pre vailing in Washington City, so long as Congressmen live there six months during the year. He says they can live in Alexandria or Baltimore and come over every day to attend to their duties-a thing they would be forced to ilo if they could not get their cock tails mixed at the capital. Wendell Phillips,the great abolition ist ot New England, is dead. Before his death he came to despise the re publican party and its leaders with all the bitterness ol his acrimonious na ture. He was the author of the expres sion “a covenant with hell and a league with death.” He was the most energetic of all those who sow ed the seed of the revolution that fructified in so bitter a harvest of woe tor the south. Longstreet’s official career may not be an enviable one, but he is certain ly very much superior, as regards hon esty and manliness, to our brilliant, independent friend, Emory Speer. Longstreet has shown himself a cour ageous patriot on tlio battle-field— Emory’s career has been ono abomi nable mass of crookedness and deceit. On the one hand we have au honest patriot,'on the other a traitorous ren egade. Senator Logan is wa'xing his raven moustache, preparatory to making a triumphant attack upon the Chicago convention. A thing his very ardent friends enthusiastically claim that he can do, -"-unless some unforeseen obstacle stems tire current that, they say, is sweeping in that direction. We i, we trust that the unforeseen obstacle may present itself; for if the republicans must have the presidency again, give us anybody but Johnny 1 Logan or John Sherman. Capt. Harry Jackson is making a very thorough canvass of the fifth dis trict, and if we are to judge from the newspaper reports, lie is meeting with much encouragement. Hon. N, J. Hammond, the present representative of the fifth, has served her people for the last four years faithfully and .with inuch ability, and we do not know why a change should be necessary, butHf a change must made. Capt Jackson v/ild be the man we eheuld suggest /or the place. lie will do honor/heiever put. \ / BARTOW COUNTY. [y \7here are hundreds of men in this county who are sublimely ignorant of the fact that nature has blessed us with resources various, illimitable and prodigal. Our interests are al most entirely agricultural. Asa gen eral thing our people value their lands according to their productive capacity; fertility of soil is the first and last requisite for rendering land ed possessions in our county really valuable. Tnis is natural enough, for we have as fine farm lands as can be found in this or auy other state. On the Etowah river, which flows through the whole length of the county, and on Euharlee, Raccoon arid Pumpkinvine creeks, (each one of these creeks is a small river), the rich, black, fertile soil is from one foot to six feet in depth. Besides these streams, there are nearly a dozen smaller ones, along the banks of which lie as level and productive bodies of land as can be found any where. Our lands off the water cours es produce in rich profusion cotton, grasses, and oats. There is no doubt but that Bartow equals, if she does uot surpass, any other county in the state as to productive farming lands. Most of our people know already these facts in regard to the fertility of our soil. But how few r know, or even imagine, that our timber is very valuable—in fact rivals that of any land—that there lies beneath our fertile soil prolific mineral beds; that our water powers, taking into con sideration our other advantages, are equal to those of any other state in the union, or, perhaps, those of any other clime beneath the sun! Mr, D. M. Hawkins, of Ashland, N. H., has been in Cartersville about two weeks. This gentleman came south at the solicitation of Col. J. J. Howard, one of our most highly es teemed citizens. Mr. Hawkins came into our midst with a view of remov ing hither his family and interests. In an interview he expressed to us his surprise at the wonderful natural resources that we possess. He said : “My business is to supply the New England cotton mills with wood work. I dispose of all that I can get ready to New T England customers. Col. Howard kindly invited me to come south on a prospective tour. He thought, and I now think, that I could do better here than in New Hampshire. Of course, were I to move to Georgia, I would retain the patronage of the New England cot ton mills—l would continue to sup ply them with their necessary /ftood- 1 work. I am highlj gratified at what I have seen here. I have, during my life, traveled pretty extensively, having I een in eighteen different states, but I have never seen, in all my travels, a superior country to Bartow county, Georgia. Why, sir, the water power here on the Etowah river, is superior to anything I have ever seen in my life outside of New England, and it is fully equal, if not superior, to any that I have ever seen in New England, I like your coun try very much, indeed; I like your people; and, were Ia young man just beginning life, I would not hesi tate an instant, I would immediate come to Georgia. But my children are all grown, and my interests are extensive, and 1 shall have to consid er the inclinations of others before I take so important a step. I am an earnest advocate of prohibition. Could I tell my people, ou my return home, that there was no whisky sold in Bartow county, I am confident that many monied men—men of brain, muscle and energy—would come here to live. Remove this blighting bane from your midst, and you will tempt hither good and true men who will lend all of their power and influence to the development of your wonderfully favored county.” Mr. Hawkins is a genial, practical, intelligent gentleman. He would be a valuable accession to any commu nity anywhere. We hope he will conclude to become a citizen of Bar tow. With a dozen men of his stamp in our midst we would soou be utili zing some of the wonderful water power that ho referred to above. We say wonderful water power, and we mean it. From a point on the Etowah river four miles above, to the shoals which are about two* miles above the W. A A. railroad bridge, there is a fall of seventy feet. Think of it—a seventy feet fall in four miles! This has been calculated to equal between eleven and twelve thousand horse-power. Pumpkin vine creek also has a wonderfully rapid fali.and Raccoon creek as well. Euharlee creek, though not quite so rapid in its fall as the above two, qould be made to (uin the spindles of inammoth factories and whirl t)he itones of extensive grain miils.Xj BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT, The immense business which is now upon the various dockets of Bartow superior court, together with tho rapidity with Which it continual ly outflu fating, is a matter which deserves deliberate and dispassionate reflection on the part of our people. It is exceedingly important to those who are interested as parlies to the litigation, that their cases should be tried and their legal rights deter j mined, with less delay than has been the Custom with cases sued in this co/t within the last ten years. The r/ason for this are numerous and objlou3. In the first place, when l/sons have rights it i3 necessary to protection of those rights that they should be speedily desiginated and set apart to be invested in such a way as the party’s better Judg ment indicates is best for his or her pecuniary good- It is all important that these matters should be speedily settled in order that the expenses and the vexation incident to pro tracted litigation may be avoided. It is also Important that the busi ne*s of the court should be disposed of as quickly as possible, in order that trie expense to the county,which results from holding the court, may be saved. These propositions, being self evident,need no arguments to es tablish this truth. The necessity for a more speedy transaction of the business being established, we pro pose to give some reasons why the the transaction of the business under our present system i3 retarded,as well as to suggest a means by which it can be accelerated. The time at which our court is held under the present arangement, is by far the least favor able for the transaction of business of any season of the year. In Jan., and Feby., the the weather is so in tensely cold and disagreeable that it isalmost Impossible for the judge and jurors to transact business at ali, to say nothing of working with an eye to the dispatch of business. In July and August the weather is so intensely hot and disagreeable that it is equally as difficult to manipulate the machinery of the court, with an eye to dispatching the business, as it is in January and February. The result is that the regular sessions of court are gone through with attended with great dis-comfort to those who are charged with the management of the business; and, with little done, as it is simply impossible to do more at these unfavorable seasons of the year. At the end of the session the dockets are left crowded with cases of long standing, and an adjourned term is appointed. At theadjourned term nearly all of the first week is taken up in organizing the court and getting the machinery in working order. The adjourned term is of short duration, and the result is, the dockets are left in little better con dition at its close than they were when it began. In addition to all this, the time at the regular sessions is largely taken up in the discussion of matters which are to be passed to the adjourned terms, which other wise might be appropriately devoted to disposing of the cases on the various dockets. Now the remedy for all this is to Llsave our regular session of the court put to the heel of the entire circuit. Let the court convene In March and September, after all the other courts in tho circuit have been held, and then let the time which is usually put in holding adjourned terms, follow immediately on the heel of tho regular terra. Then the weather is pleasant, all the time can be profit ably utilized, and the business of the court much more rapidlydisposed of, than under the present arangement. Then, too.the time lost in the discus sion of passing matter to theadjourned term, would be saved, as well as the time lost in organizing and starting the machinery of the court at the adjourned terms. But our planting friends will say this plan wonld in terfere with the farming interest of the county. In this we think the farmer is mistaken. Under our sys tem of letting cases the presence of no one is required at the court except the parties and witnesses interested in the case on trial, aside from the jurors. The jurors required to run the business of court in a populous county like Bartow, takes off a very small portion of our farming popula tion. And then the benefits to re sult from this system indicated, would far more than compensate for the loss of time to the farmers. Bartow is one of the most important counties in the state, and it behooves her citizens to look well to her ma terial advancement; and to this end devise a means for the more speedy tronsaction of the husiness of her courts. We commend thesematters to our people. THENEW CAPITOL BUILDING. The capitol commissioners have taken the first important step in the discharge of the duties imposed upon them by the legislature. They have made choice of a design lor the new capitol. In making the selection the com missioners had the assistance and ad vice of George B. Post, the New York architect, whom they had en gaged to come to Atlanta and give them the benefit of. his technical knowledge and experience in archi tecture. We think they acted wise ly in summoning Mr. Post or some well-known expert to their aid. Very few persons are capable of pre paring a design for the most ordina ry edifice, and fewer still can pre pare a design for a capitol building, with the necessary specifications, es timates, etc. Indeed it is rarely the case tbat a man erects a dwelling house for his own occupancy, that he does not find cause for disappoint ment in some of its details after he has taken possession of it. We would be glad to see the new I capitol built entirely of Georgia rna terial, provided as good and as cheap material can be had here as else where. Such, we believe, is the spir it and letter of the act creating the commission. The law, as we recall it, allows them no discretion in this respect, and we are sorry it does not, for we should be willing to pay something additional in order to have all the materials furnished here at home. A cnpitol constructed en tirely of Georgia granite, marble, iron, wood, slate, etc., and furnished out of the same materials, would be a just object of pride to the people. The demand for home materials would thereby be stimulated, and the development of the state promo ted and encouraged. But we think the commission did well in following the law, especially in adopting a design which can be carried out with the sum voted by the legislature. With the law the commission can have no rightful con cern; their sole duty is to execute it as they find it. And we trust there will be nouttempt made to enlarge the appropriation, or to allow greater latitude iu the choice of materials, since any successful attempt of the kind w T ould open the door to jobbery and other disreputable practices. Georgians are not to blame if they have not as good materials as other sections, but it will be their own fault if, having suitable materials for their new capitol, they do not fur nish them as cheaply as others. Therefore, let the act of the legis laturestand, and let the commission ers proceed. —Telegraph & Messenger. “REMORSELESS DROWN” We confess that we have watched with alarm, not to say consternation, the liberties taken with the English language by the enterprising corres pondent of the Augusta Chronicle. Under several bold exploits of his in this direction our apprehensions have been for some time, to qnote from his boundless vocabulary,in a state of “agitated activity”; for however in teresting it may be to witness occa sionally a hurricane of words and a tempest of metaphor, to men who have at all times to venture into the storm, the situation is full of peril. In a late issue of our cheery con temporary, we find the Atlanta cor respondent declaring that “we had a short young deluge last night. I can not recall a more savage fall of rain in a short time.” What is a short young deluge? And why in the world does the gentleman want to recall it in a short time? Or why his evident regret? These are ques tions vve can cnly propose. “The very floods decended,” continues the correspondent. “Great swashes of water dropped In solid torrents, bringing down an overwhelming flavor of remorseless drown with them.” Great Scott! “Solid tor rents?” Think of “solid torrents” of water lying about town! And think of tho flavor of a“remorseles< drown!” Only the flavor, mind you: no man can actually drown in solid torrent. But would drowning be disagreeable after having been struck by a precip itated “solid torrents?” Could even sniff the flavor of a remorseless drown. Where were the police; and why did not the health officers cart off the solid torrents, and stop the flavor of remorseless drown with tho fl avor of manilla, or winter green? But the correspondent continues: “The very gates above seemed ajar, and cataracts came through in crush ing column.” Did the cataracts come through the jar? Or is the gifted pen brandisher troubled with cata ract in the eye? What sort of a jar was it? Stone jar, glass jar, pickle or family jar? Maybe it was the talent ed sprinklin g pot of J Pluvius that the gentleman saw, and uot a jar alter all. The excited scribe proceeds: “The foundations of the houses trembled under the massive liquid sheets.” Where did the liquid come from? Is a “liquid sheet” the same as a “solid torreut?” And why should the foun dation of tho houses tremble? Are the foundations afraid of sheets? We do not know. We are too much confused to workout problems. Only a picture rises before us, black night torn by electric fire; air full of chunks of solid torrents; liquid sheets flying off the clothes lines and frightening the life out of house foundations; heroic correspondent clinging to lamppost watching na ture’s convulsive writhings, sick with apprehension and the flavor of remorseless drown. Great swash! Great Gosh! in fact, Great Gush! “Oh Mueheb He! lee!”— Telegraph and Messenger. BLAINE’S PROGRAMME, Whether Blaine will be a presi dential candidate or not is the occa sion of a good deal of gossip. There is an impression that he does not intend to be a candidate,but that he proposes to dictate the nomination. His am bition, it is said, is to be the boss of the next administration, provided, oi course, that it is republican, lie wants to ba the power behind the throne, as he was in the Garfield ad ministration, If this is the pro gramme, lie may comejn.oarer’carry ing it out than If he should attempt to secure the nomination himself. Had Garfield lived it is probable that Blaine would have been recognized as the controling spirit of the admin istration. Garfield was intellectually Blaine’s equal, if not his superior, but he lacked Blaine’s courage. If Blain® is able to name the candidate of his party, and his party .is success ful,he will shape the administration, doubtless, and will exercise almssfc as much power as if lie were president The prospect that he will be able to dictate the convention’s choice is good. He has a large following in every state, end it is pretty certain that a strong minority of the delegates will be his friends. It is asserted that he is quietly working to have as many of his friends in the convention a possible. The position of boss of the administration is al most as attractive as the position of president. To a man like Blaine who likes to exercise power, it must be very inviting. If he pursues tlio plan outlined and succeeds he will enjoy the credit of directing the ad ministration without having to boar its burdens and responsibilities.— &n\ Neics.
