MOB AND MAGISTRATE.
No doubt good Mill result from tbe
late Cincinnati riot, but that city cer
tainly paid a heavy price for this good.
At least three hundred persons were
killed and wounded; thousands of dollars
worth of property was swept away, in
cluding the records and books that were
destroyed in the court house. It seems
that the American people must be
taught by sad experience that our laws
must not only be just, but must also be
rigidly enforced.
The fact that lynching and mob law
are criminal and should be denounced,
is very plain. No sane and just and law
abiding man should endeavor to excuse
such proceedings. On the other hand,
a certain laxity on the part of those who
are entrusted with the execution of our
laws, is sure to bring into requisition
mob law. Only let the people feel as
sured that criminals shall be speedily
and impartially tried, and the number of
lynch ings will be greatly diminished.
The history of pioneer communities
shows us that this is not mere conject
ure. So long as there is a lax adminis
tration of justice by the proper authori
ties, just so long will there be vigilance
committees, bands of lynchers, and reg
ulators, who will take the law in their
own hands and perpetrate crimes more
hideous and execrable than those they
are endeavoring to avenge.
There seems to be a tendency on the
part of law makers, judges and juries, to
give to criminals too much favor. In
the endeavor to protect the criminal they
impose upon society. We know there
are individual rights that should be pro
tected, and we know, too, that the com
munity has rights that should be pro
tected as well. When a man commits a
ciime he puts himself beyond the pale
of society—he becomes an enemy of so
ciety, and should be treated ns such.
Let the terrible calamity that has be
fallen Cincinnati be a warning to our
criminal lawyers and our juries. For
human nature is the same the world
over, and just such a calamity will befall
siny city in Georgia, if corruption be al
lowed to run riot as in Cincinnati.
SHERMAN'S CHANCE.
Magnanimity is a good trait in a man’s
character, and if John Sherman has any
of it in his composition, now is the oppor
tune moment for him to exhibit it. He
was very much exercised over the Vir
ginia and Mississippi riots, in which liis
greatly beloved “brother-in-black” fig
ures largely. Tbe refined and very high
ly civilized. Cincinnati community has
been considerably tumbled about, and it
is John’s bounden duty to see to it that
a committee of investigation is appointed.
If he fails to do this, he will fail to take
the tide of the affairs of his life at its
flood; he will let the great chance of his
life slip; he will utterly ignore the golden
opportunity of showing to an admiring
and appreciative world,not only his great
ness of mind but also the breadth and
depth of his wonderfully philanthropic
catholicity of spirit.
W ere Cincinnati a Georgia or Virginia
city, what a hue and howl w r ould the
hordes of the north echo and re-echo
from the lakes to the gulf, and from the
Atlantic to the Pacific 1 And John Sher
man would raise his magnificent phiz,
erect his dangerous bristles, curl in proud
majesty his cynical top lip, and roar out
a terrible bellowing that would indeed
surprise the nation.
Mr. Tilden in a conversation with
Gen. Gordon, anounces it his opinion
that Senator-elect Payne is the
strongest man the democrats can
nominate, and gives three reasons
which he considers cogent:
“First,” he says, “Mr. Payne has
}n variably been right on every one of
the questions that have divided pub
lic sentiment during the past thirty
years. It is hard to find such a man
in the democratic party.
Secondly: His nomination will
not frighten the business element of
the country into another outpouring
of cash to aid the republicans.
Lastly: He has the ability to con
duct the canvas, the wealth necessa
ry to aid its legitimate expenses, the
vigor to undertake reforms after elec
tion. These three things are hard to
find combined in one man.”
This statement from Mr. Tilden
will put Mr. Payne in the foremost
rank of presidential candidates.
Ben Butler is still cultivating pres
idential beee. They are, however,
of the honey less kind. If reports be
true, he has hie cocked eyes set on
four presidential conventions—that
of the working men, anti-monopo
list and greenbackers, and after these
have been captured, he feels that he
can pose, as a most available candi
date, for the democrats. The wily
Benjamin may succeed in persuading
the first three that he is the man for
the times, but the democratic con
vention will not and should not tol
erate even his presence.
The city of Manchester, England,
now has water reservoirs covering
844 acres, whose mains measure 643
miles, and they supply 20,060,000 gal
lons to 900,000 people daily. The
cost thus far has been over £3.350,000.
It is believed that Gen. Grant has
his best eye on the Chicago conven
tion. The old gentleman has long
been suffering with the third term
fever.
In 1830 Chicago had 70 inhabitants,
pow claims 600,000.

I am glad to see such a disposition on
the part of our people to use the paint
brush. It is astonishing to see iiow
much it improves the appearance of a
place to spread a few dollars worth of
paint on it. When you go into a store
where the walls and counters are glis
tening and bright, you conclude at once
that the goods are new and fresh. A
merchant never lost anything by spend
ing money to make his store room look
attractive. And the same thing might
be said of the home. I love to pass by
a residence that is painted. I conclude
at once that nice, clever people live
there. I feel like if I should happen to
drop in for dinner I would get something
good to eat. I feel like the children who
play around there must be brigt faced and
rosy cheeked, and that the young lady
of the house is smart and sensible, and
knows how to make home happy. It is
veiy natural that such conclusions should
be drawn, for it is said, “The apparel
oft proclaims the man,” and so does the
coat in which the house is dressed, oft
proclaim the people who live in it.
I repeat, I am glad to see the paint
brush have such an extensive sweep in
Cartersville. It speaks well for our
town, and I hope the good work will go
OD.
I was down at Rockmart last week,
and spent a very pleasant day in that
thriving little town. I met up with my
old friend and former schoolmate, Mr.
Jas. E. Loveless. He is now agent of
the E. TANARUS., V. A G. railroad, at Rockmart,
and also telegraph operator there. Jim
is a Bartow county boy. Was bom and
raised just across the street from me in
the good little village of Adairsvillc. . He
and I used to go to school together and
sometimes study from the same book.
He was always small for his age, and
being a little crippled in one of his legs,
lie could not always hold his hand with
the other boys, and it was my good for
tune to be able to take his part some
times and help him out of his scrapes.
I was always amply repaid for this in
something more substantial than thanks.
The nicest peaches and largest apples
would find their way to my desk from
Jimmy’s basket. I’m afraid it was the
prospect of these that made me take his
part in his troubles instead of a more
unselfish feeling. But at any rate we
were always good friends and got along
well together. Jim was a poor boy and
had to make his own way. He has done
his part like a man, and I am glad
to pay this tribute to his worth and
honesty. He now has a position that
pays him handsomely. He is held inj
high esteem by his employers and <loef%
his work faithfully and well. He has a
comfortable little home, a beautiful
young wife and a pretty baby. And in
the “Tattler’s” opinion, these three
things combined will make any man in
the world happy. At any rate, judging
from the contented look that ornaments
Jim’s handsome frontispiece, it has
made him happy. lam glad cf his suc
cess. His example is one worthy to be
followed, and 1 hope his good luck will
not desert him as the years glide away.
If I were to write something about
Adairsville every week, I wouldn’t say
more about the town than it deserves.
Every time Igo there I am impressed
with its energy and enterprise. With
out enlarging on facts I propose to give
some figures showing the amount of bus
iness done in Adairsville. I did not
have time to get a complete statement,
but I got enough to show that it does
more business to its size than any town
on the state road. Through the kind
ness of Mr. R. D. Combs, the efficient
railroad agent, and Col. H. D. Capers,
who is always active in any enterprise
that promises to advance and put for
ward the advantages of the * county, I
got some figures that astonished me, and
will perhaps be of interest to the read
! ers of this paper. The depot books
|at Adairsville show that during the
j month of January, 1,965 bales of hay
were shipped from that point; 60,000
yards of domestic were shipped; nearly
2,500 barrels of flour were shipped, Ire
sides numerous quantities of eggs, but
ter, chickens, beef eattle, and many
; other articles of home manufacture.
The freight receipts at that point for
i the month of March were $1,321.91, and
the receipts for the past week have been
#7s3.9l. We doubt very much if Car
tersville can show such a record as this
from her depot books. This serves to
show what the Oothcaloga fanners are
doing. Instead of shipping cotton,
wheat and coni, they ship cloth, and
flour and meal. Instead of paving
freight on their cotton to the east and
then freight on their cloth back from
the east to Adairsville, and also paying
the middle men’s profits, they sell their
cotton to Col. Gray, and he spins it into
thread and cloth and sells it lwiek to
them at their own doors. Instead of
shipping their wheat and com to Atlan
ta, they sell it to Mr. Veach and he
grinds it into flour and meal and deliv
ers it back to them the same day ready
for the oven.. After we come to think
about it, there is no wonder that the
farmers of Oothcaloga valley are pros
perous, and the little town of Adairsville
constantly on a boom. Facts of this
sort are wgrth thinking about.
While in Rock mart I accepted an in
vitation from Mr. Geo. W. Kciples to
visit his lime work*. I was well paid
for the tramp and learned much that
was worth knowing. Mr. Sciples baa
already invested more than ten thousand
dollars in this enterprise and is prepar
ing t erect Another furnace in Jfj.
He already has capacity for burning
one hundred trarrels of lime per day and
is running on full time. Mr. Sciple
told me that his lime was giving the
most perfect satisfaction, and his orders
took it as fast as it could be burned.
I never knew before how easy it was to
make barrels. It was an interesting
process to me to watch the workmen
put them together. It certainly looks
very simple and easy, and I thought al
most anybody could do that, but I saw
anew man try his hand, and about the
time he thought the barrel was made it
very accommodatingly tumbled down. I
was informed that it took months and
years of practice to put up a good bar
rel. Mr. Sciple works about seventy
five hands. It is a grand sight to see
those mountains of ponderous rocks
torn up and tumbled into the fire, and
burned into dust. It is such enterprises
as this that will make North Georgia
the country of the United States. We
have mountain after mountain of lime
rock, and slate rock, and marble, and
iron ore, and copper, and manganese,
and ochre, and even gold. It was not a
mere outburst of a wild and enthusias-
tic imagination on the part of a southern
orator when Mr. Seals said, “This is a
land where rippling streams make joyful
music over golden sands and untold min
eral wealth as they hymn their way to
their ocean home. ” He said the truth.
I confidently hope to see the day when
the southern sun will shine on this sec
tion as the most prosperous of the union. >
The mineral wealth of North Georgia is
something immense. All we need is a
few T hundred men like George Sciples to
throw themselves into the work and give it
tlieir time, their labor, and their money.
I know 7 it is easier to wTite about it than
it is to do it, in fact it is a delightful
subject on which to write, but it can be
done, and I expect to see it done.
My grandfather is dead. He lived to
a ripe old age and died as peacefully as
an infant goes to sleep on its mother’s
bosom. He was fully conscious of his
approaching end, and requested those
around his bedside to arrange him in an
easy position and fold his hands over his
breast. When the summons came he
opened liis eyes and said, ‘‘l heard some
one calling me,” and the spirit flitted
away, leaving the old wrinkled face
wreathed in a glad smile. He was buried
last Friday evening in old Oothcaloga
churchyard. As I stood at his grave
and looked into his face for the last
time, the mellow sunshine fell on hie
coffin lid and lit up that peaceful face
w 7 itli a radiance that was heavenly. I
tried to think all along that I w T as will
ing for him to go. That it was better
for liis tired limbs to rest; but somehow
w I leaned over him for the last time,
yearned for him to stay. Be*
fore I learned to know my father’s facet,
galled away to the battle fields of
t * j -.md for three years this gray
haired. * )an was to me a father. Af
ter my motx_r’s, his was the first face I
can remember. On summer evenings
I have played around his chair and prat
tled in his arms. I have trotted behind
him for miles and miles in tramping
over the farm, and when I would get
tired he has carried me in his anus, with
my hands clasped around his neck. And
as I stood at his grave and listened to
the clods rumbling on his coffin, these
things came rushing to my mind, and in
spite of me the tears crept up into my
eyes, and I would have kept him if I
could. Somehow I can’t yet quite realize
that I won’t see him when Igo back up
there to the old homestead. That the
comer chair will be vacant and the old
stick laid away; but I guess it is so, and
it is best. He went away in the eve
ning twilight of his life. The golden
glories of the setting sun tinged the
fading light with a mellow lustre, and
the last houm of his life were the most
glorious that he ever lived. He will
rest well from his labors. As I write
these words the mellow moonlight creeps
down and touches his grave with a soft,
silvery halo, and the fading violets slied
a sweet incense around the place.
Shall I ask your pardoh, reader, for hav
ing said so much of the grand old man
whom I tenderly loved?
The vicissitudes of life carry us through
many a shifting scene. We never know
one day what the next will bring forth.
By a combination of circumstances, over
which I had no control, it became nec
essary for me to perform the duties of
cook and house-keeper at our house last
Hunday morning. I’m not much dispos
ed to brag, ordinarily, but I will be par
doned for saying that I got a right good
breakfast. True, I forgot to put any
salt in the bread, but the butter was
w ell salted, and we spread it on thicker
and got along very nicely. I got break
fast, washed the dishes, milked the cow,
strained the milk, made up the beds,
swept the house, and made a hasty
toilette, and then got to Sunday school a
few minutes after nine o’clock. My
mother has the reputation of being a
good house-keeper, and J knew when
she returned my work would be subject
ed to a close criticism, so I was very
careful, and washed the dishes, and
I>ans, and spiders, as nicely as I could,
t seemed to me I had got every cup,
and saucer, and plate, and knife, and
fork, and pan on the place dirty, but I
tugged aw'ay till I got through, and
when my mother returned I was reward
ed by having her smile good-humoredly,
and say I had done mv work well, much
better than she thought I could do it. I
sympathize with the women who have to
do their own house-work. I burned mv
band, cut my finger and took the head
ache while trying to do a woman’s work
for an hour. I don’t see how they can
stand it from day to day, and year to
year. It takes patience, gentlefcess, ten
derness, forbearance and long suffering,
such as a only a woman possesses, to do
it. If this duty devolves on me many
times, I shall start out, leap year as it is,
and see if I can’t find some woman to
“Share my sorrows and soothe my woes,
Wash my victuals and cook my clothes. ”
IN All) OF THE MILITIA.
In 1808, congress passed a bill to an
nually appropriate $200,000 for the pur
pose of “organizing, arming and dis
ciplining the militia.” For seventy-five
years this sum has been regularly set
aside for the purposes named, and has
been expended principally in providing
arms and ammunition for the various in
fantry corps tliroughout the country.
There is now pending in the house,
having passed the senate without oil
position, a bill appropriating $600,000 in
aid of the militia, and allowing in addi
tion to arms and ammunition, a distribu
tion of “ordnance stores and tents.”
When this bill becomes a precedent, it
will not be long before all of our militia
companies 'will be armed as well as equip
ped. and annual encampments will be
easy and attended with little or no ex
pense.
Only a few weeks have elapsed since
the Telegraph commented upon the con- :
temptuous manner with which the mili
tary has heretofore been treated by the
state government. Unless w 7 e err, the
total expense to which the state is put
in aid of its military forces is the sup
port of a headquarter’s staff. All other
expense is borne by the military’ or met
by the general government. And yet
this force, illy aimed, without ammuni
tion, utterly unequipped and thoroughly
conscious of how little it owes the state,
is all that to-day stands between the
vast property interests of the law
abiding, and just such a mob as devas
tated Cincinnati. It is useless to say
such an uprising is impossible in Geor
gia. Thirty minutes before the riot in
Cincinnati, every officer connected 'with
the city government would have declared
the uprising there impossible. But
even if it be at present unlikely, who
will insure the future? We will say that
some day the excited demands telegraph
ed from Eatonton, Milledgeville and
Sandersville for ammunition, will not be
repeated, and disaster follow before a
response can be had?
It is gratifying to see the general gov
ernment moving in behalf of the militia.
But it is time the state was awakened to
the sense of responsibilities. The day
lias passed when the military can be
longer regarded as a mere matter of mu
sic, gay colors and dancing feathers, for
street pageants. The day has come
when it is looked upon and rightly, as
the strongest arm of the law, to be
wielded in defense of life and property;
when people begin to realize that the
money spent in housing and supporting
this force, and rendering it efficient, is
money as well spent as that placed in
the hands of insurance agents.
The Cincinnati riot came in the days
of prosperity, when labor is easily ob
tained and food plentiful. Moved by
no other powek than mere excitement,
it overthre\ Jt>cal protective forces and
destroyed half a million dollars worth of
property. And this under no leader
ship. Financial covuLsions come to all
countries. Some day the cry for bread
mil be heard in the quarters and in the
tenements, and the hollow cheeks of
starving men will be seen upon the
streets. 11l fares it with the state that
meets that day unprepared.—Telegraph
and Messenger.
The man that can invent a cyclone
protector has a fortune impatiently
waiting for him.
The Telegraph and Messenger right
ly thinks that Georgia needs a legis
lature that understands the meaning
of the word “progress.”
