The Cartersville American. Entered at the Fast Office at Cartsm Ule, 4a., Met tdh, 1 as second class matter. TUESDAY, MARCH 11, 18S4 Sifted Shimmerings CULLED FROM THE “ and SPREAD OUT s; Before cur Readers. Edwin Booth is in Brooklyn. A man of many parts.—The book canvasser. President Arthur parts his hair in the middle. A hen-pecked husband is often chicken hearted. Henry Irving will return to the United States next season. Tailors will give you fits, but it takes a lawyer to run up a suit. Itsj a shear impossibility for the average editor to dispense with scis sors: Society is an ominous volcano; and modern life is a highly sensational drama. When tramp meets tramp then comes the mutual and enthusiastic scratch. If you don’t want to bo robbed Of your good name don’t have it inscrib- i on your umbrella. Iu Utah it seems to be every. man for himself, and every two dozen women for some other fellow. The ten of diamonds, in a gold necklace, is more poteut than the ace of hearts iu an embossed va leu" tine. The Egyptian soldiers seem to have a mania ft r malting room for the ene my when the nemy gives them the least chance to do so. England is presenting a very ex tensive array of monstrous bank ruptcies, but she has had resumption longer than we have. Don’t call a very large, sinewy man a prevaricator. If you are sure he is a prevaricator, hire another man to break the news to him. A lady upon being asked as she was about to go to the opera, how she was dressed at the president’s re ception, replied, ‘‘Lowland behold?’ ’ The autograph of Stephen Hop kins, in the Declaration of independ ence, was a sign of weakness. Look at the fac simile, and judge for your self. The glory of a young man is in his strength, and the same may be truthfully said of the average run of outter at the young roan’s boarding house. An eastern newspaper, as a his torical sensation, published the names of all the vice-presidents of the United States. The enterprise was a success. “Dolores” sends a very melancholy poem commencing with “Screw down the coffin lid.” Wewont’t do it, “Dolores.” That is the underta ker’s business, not ours. Don’t allow the baby to drink the concentrated lye. Concentrated lye is dangerous, even in very small doses ) except to a man who is accustomed to drinking Baltimore corn whisky. A bad egg can b 9 detected by the way it lies in the water. It will float. So with bad characters. They lie so much that it is not necessary to go below the surface to detect them. It took dynamite to smash the bag gage at the’Victor ia station in Lon don. This shows that English trunks are mightier or English baggage masters weaker than the American article. It is said that Ingersoll entertains hi3 friends with oaths, but it should be remembered that his swearing amounts to nothing since he has no basis from which to draw profane de ductions. “I don’t believe there is any dan ger of a man overworking his brain whose business is all head work,” re marked the barber, as he shampooed the editor’s head. The editor gasped and died. Timidly opening our sanctum door this morning a wild-eyed imp of pnragraphy yell and: “What color would you-dialogue?” Thefirst shot took effect. He sank, gasped, quiv j erect and died. There is nothing in the constitu tion that says the government shall print postage stamp*, so, according to bank logic, a corporation should be organized to print them and fix their value.. A most marvelous report of, som niferous influences has just come from an interior town of Arkansaw. A minister while preaching sudden ly dropped to sleep. Strange to say, the congregation was awake at the time. Although gas is cheaper in Eng land than iu the United States, the electric light is doing better there than it is here. Ninety companies, with a total capital almost as Urge as that of the gas companies, have been already formed. The navy department has ordered six new pop-guns and a cheese knife for the American navy. The rotten thrones of the effete monarchies of the old world are just “quaking in their boots,” or words to that effect. “Her bancors make tyranny tremble.” We are told that economic ques tions are being forced upon congress; so they are, but that body generally forces them into some committee w here they die, but should they ever get out again, the change “is so great that little of their originality is left.” Sherman’s resumption is a sham, hnt would nave been a dismal failure if not propped up by the greenback. If the greenback is good enough to pay custom dues on the strength of an order from the secretary of the treasury, why not make a law to pay the bonds off in greenbacks? Our army officers have contracted the habit of signing their dispatches with their surnamfe only, somewhat after the style bf English earls, the czar, and other distinguished person ages. There is no occasion for our officers to curtail their names. They should endeavor to make as much name for themselves as possible. Sharp politicians are trying to smooth away ex-senaior Dorsey’s causes of bitter recollect' - on. Even the president wants to put his arm around the distinguished man of Ar kansaw. Dorsey is a man of remark ably good sense, never forgets a friend and knows his enemies. Turn loose the oreide canines of strife, gen tlemen. Ex-Speaker Keifer, when called up before me bouse committee to make good the charges be had made agaiust General Boynton, the news paper correspondent, dodged around and tried to crawl out of the difficul ty. Why does not Keifer hunt around for a hole, and if be can find one small enough, crawl in and pull it iu after biur? An exchange has it that a super stitious subscriber who found a spi der iu a copy of his paper, wanted to know if it can be considered a bad omen. Of course not. The spider was merely looking over the col umns ol the paper to see what mtr chant was not advertising so that it couid spin its web across the store and not be disturbed. The following quaiut epitaph on a marine officer is on a stone in a York shire (Eug.) cemetery : Here lie*, rctiicd from busy scenes, A first heutuaut *f Marines; Who lately lived in gay content, On board the brave ship Diligent. Now stripped of all his warlike show, And laid iu box of elm below, Confined to earth iu narrow borders, He rises not ’till further orders. All that is new is not true, neither is all that is true, new. If we had a return of some of the republ iean and democratic simplicity of the days of Franklin and Jefferson, we would be on a much safer road to the realiza tion of the possibilities of a great re public, than by some of the modern methods which the so-called states men of the day are adopting. The Arkansas river, last week, at tained a height only surpassed by the flood of 1844. The fact that the forty-tour rise still holds the edge has been a source of great self-congratu lation to the “old timers.” They treated the recent flood with con tempt, and some of them became so proud that for several days they wouldn’t speak to a common man. The size of the Chicago girls’ feet has had quite enough advertisement, and it is now time to chain the goat of facetiousness and let the notorious creature rest. The last paragraph, stating that a maiden of the lake and prairie city would wear the mam moth cave on one foot if it were not | likely to engender the growth of ’ corns, is quite enough to satiety, for | a time, the credulous public. MM BROWN. He Talks About His !><>:, Pup— The Little Local Editor.— Bill Arp’s Letter.-John Brown, etc., etc. Well. Mr. Editor, I am not educa ted very highly, nor have I ever written anything for the newspapers but I read a good many papers, and keep up with the news of the day pretty well considering the fact that lam a plain, old countryman and farmer. But sometimes I do want to write for the papers mighty bad, and, if you will print them, I will try to write you some letters for your oaper. Your little local editor put in your paper List week that my light colored dog with white blue eyes could be bought cheap for cash. Now he is mistaken about this—mouey cau’t buy Pup, that is, so long as there is no tax on dogs. Pup is most always by the fire when it’s cold weather; he would run rabDits before he got shot; and he is a number one dog to rnu pigs out of the garden an J po tato patch. He won’t catch a pig,he just runs along and bites him a iittie, snaps and growls. This scares the pig and makes him flee the garden and potato patch. Bully for Pup. His mother is still alive, though she is quite infirm. Her name is Fide, and she is nearly nineteen years old. Shestiil manages to get about pretty lively,snap pigs, and catch a ball that is ihrown to her. May she live long and prosper. One of my neighbors has a large old bull dog named JacK. Old Jack does very well to sleep on the corn pile and frighten off the niggers, but when it comes to running pie’s out of the field or catching rabbits, he aint a bit account. Why, he will cat c tut he pig, and before you can get a fence rail to beat him off, he will pull the the pig’s ear completely off. If there is anything in the world that! do despise, it is a big white bulldog that will pull a pig’s ear off, and then won’t catch a rabbit. The same little local editor, in the same issue of your paper, also stated that my friend Biles plows a two hundred and seventy-five dollar horse. 1 This aint any more true than what he said about Pup. This horse aint worth twenty-five cents on the dollar. He fell iu an old well last year and it took all the hands on Arthur Davis’ plantation a whole day to tunnel him out. Since that time this old horse won’t go in two hundred yards of a well. When you try to drive him by a well he raises bis tail, snorts very loud and runs backwards as fast as lie can. I don’t want that horse, I don’t think I need him. I read Bill Arp’s letters in the Constitution, every one of them. I like Arp. He is a mighty sensible man and writes well, but sometimes he over does the thing. The reason of this is, I suppose, because he has written all he knows, and has now fallen back on what he don’t know His letter about the cyclone is ail bosh. Bill knew 7 well enough that w’hat he wrote about that nigger’s getting in to the mudhole was not strictly true. Why, there is no mudhole in Bartow county deep enough to come up to a nigger’s eyes, and if the nigger had been blown into a mudhole up to his eyes, he never could have got out without help* Why, a ten year old school boy would know better than to believe that story. It is absurd, Billy, and you had better correct it or people will get so they wont be lieve anything you say. I don’t hardly know whether to believe what he says about Mrs. Arp’s being afraid of ghosts or not. For I heard a mighty truthful man who knows her well, say that she had just about ten times as much courage as Bill, and that he did not believe she was afraid of ghosts. But I guess Bill knows Mrs. Arp better than that man did who told me about her courage. But that was a pretty bad storm, and I guess Arp hadn’t got over his scare when he wrote that letter. We all ought to excuse him this time, if he will promise faithfully not to tell any more tales just as absurd, Jim Gilreath says that it was the worst thing he ever saw. That may be so. But by the time he is as old as I am he will see worse things than that. Why, in ’4G I saw the track of a hur ricane in Alabama that was a long ways ahead of this cyclone we had the other day. It was fourteen miles wide in the narrowest places, and it did not leave a stick as big as a man’s thumb. This is true, too. I never saw such a thing in my life. My friend and neighbor, JohD Brown, (he is not a relative of mine, only an intimate and dear friend), has the best fish trap in the state. He is going to catch all of Gen. Young’s shad this spring. John ap plied for letters of administration on the estate ot Perry Milam, a dead nigger, not long ago. Johu did this in order to get a little money that Perry owed him. Well, before he got to the administratorship the es tate, an old blind horse, was wound np—the horse had died. This old horse was so poor that the buzzards turned away from his carcass with disgust. And I hear that his re mains now lie in a little pine flat near Henry Tumliu’s, aud that they are still in a state of preservation. It takes a skeleton h good long time to dt cay in real cold weather. Yours in good faith, Sam Brown. THE FINAL OF THE KFKLrX CASES. The text of the derision. The SapreiHC fcoreruineiit Must Hare Power to Assert Its Supremacy. Washington, March .10—A decision was rendered by the court to-day, in what is known as the kuklux cases, which stand on the original docket under the title exparte, in the matter of Jasper Yarbrough and others. They are petitions for writs of habeas corpus to release a number of persons now imprisoned under the judgment of the United States circuit com t for the Northern district of Georgia, ren dered after trial and conviction of the persons for the offence o c threatening and otherwise intimidating colored voters at an election iu Georgia for member of congress. The principal question presented by the cases relat es to the constitutionality of the law under which they are he'd. Justice Miller, speaking for the court, after deciding that the offences set forth in the indictment are fully covered by sec tions 5308 aud 5520 of the revised statutes, says that the government, who3e. essential character is republi can, whose executive head and legis lalure body are both elective, whose most numerous and powerful branch* of tho legislature is elected by the people directly, has no power, by ap propriate law, to secure this election from the influence of violence, of cor ruption, and of fraud, is a position so startling as to arrest the attention and demand the gravest consideration. If this government is anything more than a mere aggregation of delegates of other states and governments, each of which is superior to the general gov ernment, it must have power to pro tect the elections on which its exist ence depends, from violence and cor ruption. If it has not this power, it 's left helpless before the tw r o great natural aud historical enemies of re publics—open violence and insidious con uption. Addressing himself to the argument made in this case, that because there was no express power delegated to congress to provide for preventing violence exercised on the voter as a means of controlling his vote, no such law can be enacted, he -sajs it destroys at one blow, in con struing the constitution of the Unit ed States, th<* doctrine uuiversily ap plied to all instruments of writing, that what is implied is as much a part of the instrument as what is expressed. This principle, in its application to the constitution of the United States, more than to almost any other writ ing, is a necessity by reason of the in herent inability to put into words all the derivative powers; the difficulty which the instrument itself recogniz es, by conferring on congress the au thority to pass all laws to punish theft or robbery of the treasury of the United Statss and depredations on the mails, although congress has been gived no express authority to pass such law*. As to the argument that the states can pass the necessary laws on the subject, and that no nec essity exists for such action by con gress, he points out that the exist ence of the state laws punishing the counterfeiting ot the coin of the Unit ed States has never been held to su percede the acts ot congress passed for that purpose, or to justify the United States in fai.ing to enforce its own law* to protect the circulation of the coin which it uses. lie directs attention also to the attempts of con gress to protect the officers of the government iu the exercise of their duties in hostile communities, iu nul lification trouble in South Carolina, and in the late rebellion during the troubles growing out ot the enforce ment of the draft. He asks if it be not doubted that congress has power to provide laws for the proper con duct of elections for representatives in congress, aie such powers annulled because an election for state officers is held at the same time and place, and replies; These questions answer them selves. Don’t go near a draft. If a draft comes toward® jou, iu. aw y. A ■ sight draft is the most dangerous. DUMBER 45. SSNATCHED SNIGGLES. Don’t shake a hornet’s nest to see if any of the family are at home. Don’t try to take the right of way from an express tram at a railroad crossing. Now that Lent is here, the female fashionable world is repenting in seal skin sacque cloth and sashes. A Kentucky woman has a mania for collecting buttons. Her husband probably has the custody of the contri bution box. President Arthur is accumulating a pretty large assortment of vacant Fed eral offices. He might give a german and distribute them as favors. yJ —n “No,” said the young man, “I don’t like flashy neckties, but I’ve worn them since the beginning of the silk quilt craze. You see, the girls beg the ties, and that makes the fellow who wears them of some importance.’’ “If you were to freeze,” said George, snugging up a little closer, “you would make a delicious ice cream.” “If you were to freeze,” responded Amelia with severity, after catching a whiff of his breath, “you would make a rum punch.” Col. Henry Watterson recently said that George D. Prentice did not dunk a drop in the last year of his life. Whereat the other Colonels*of that! state looked significantly at each oth er and said: “There, see? Only lived a year after he quit drinking.” “Have you any more hams like that one I got last week?” she asked. “Yes,” Mrs. we have six more just like it.” “If they are not the same kind, I don’t want’em.’ ‘ Why, madam I assure you that they are allfrom the same animal.” T’no New Orleans Cremation SocN ety will first experiment with the bod ies of paupers. Such bodies w T ill do well enough for a starter. If they should complaiu of the inefficiency or poor draft of the furnace, the society will not feel so bad as if the fault-find ing c irae from the corpse of a wealthy aristocrat “Were you at the police ball?” said one citizen to another, as the two met on Union Square the other day. “I was/’ “You were not mentioned among the notables.” “Yes I w T as.” “I didn’t see your name.” “That doesn’t matter; I was mentioned. Tho report, after giving the tames of a number of gentlemen -who were pres ent. added ‘and others.’ I w r as among the others.” “Ob, I see.” Hotels. HILBURN sovran, ADAIRSYILLE, GA. W, J.
