MR. WHEAT’S TRIBUTE.
To the Editor of Tat Free Press: Uninflu
enced by any living -oul, I voluntarily offer a
tribute of gratitude to a man who has txreu the
greaten benefactor to my-elfand family that we
have met throughout our lives. I do this be
cause f see that an effort is being made by cer
tain persons to put him down and impair liis
usefulness, which I honestly believe to be
gieater than that of any other individual in
this country, f refer to l)r. F. W. Memmler.
Fourteen years ago i lived in southwest Geor
gia, and there my trouble and the disease of my
deal w ife first began. I had two good physi
cians there, whose efforts failing to restore her
health, they advised me to move to Florida. I
did so. She not only grew worse in Florida, but
also lost her hearing in one year. My wife’s
health being my only object, I was advised to
move to a higher country. 1 did so, and .vent to
Columbia county, this state, employing
there the best medical skill, but without avail. I
canned her back to her mother’s in southwes
tern Georgia. There I retained three of the best
physicians the country afforded; but she still
grew worse. I then, by advice of these physi
cians, carried Iter to Sweetwater, Tenn. There
she improved a little, under the treatment of a
good physician.
I then moved to Floyd county. She was some
better for three years, but not well. Tw o years
sgo she was attacked by her old disease, in a
worse form than ever, and it grew worse and
worse, under medical treatment, until the dis
ease culminated in the loss of her mind, and the
only comfort I got from physician or friends was
that I was advised to send her to the asylum.
M v wife's condition was such that she could not
rest nor sleep except when I sat by her side and
rubbed her head. It seems that the rubbing
quieted her, but as soon as I would stop, she
would start up m wild confusion. God only
knows wliat 1 and she suffered. 1 prayed to God
for help, night and day. I still refused to carry
her to the asylum, but carried her to Middle
Georgia, consulting a physician iu Thomson.
He advised me that sha had dropsy and to send
her to the asylum. 1 still refused and called
her to a physiciau iu Augusta, who said she had
a humor iu the brain, and euhl her only fit place
was in the asylum. 1 still refusal. I resorted
to opium, and she continued this until she could
oat enormous quantities of it, a handful even, at
a time and still no sleep, except through com
plete exhaustion, On the 24th day of December
last, I arrived iu Cartersville. On the 23th, Mrs.
Field advised me to take her to Dr. Memmler.
I remarked to Mrs. Field that I had employed
doctors for many years and spent all my means
nearly in seeking relief for my wile, and was
discouraged. She told me to goto Dr. Memmler,
that he had saved her life, and if he could help
my wife he would l>e candid with ire, and tell
me so or not, as the case might be. Thanks to
God first and to Mrs. Field next, I did so; and
(Tie doctor was kind enough, after hearing the
story of our wo 's, not to charge me anything for
the examination. My wife at that time weighed
just 72 pounds, and was worse in her health than
ever before, and often did not know her own
children. The doctor at once took the opium from
her, and took her in treatment. After three
days, she was enabled to sleep soundly and
sweetly, without stimulants, and asked how she
came to be at Dr. Memmler’s house, not recol
lecting even, when she came there, and aston
ished that her hearing was completely restored.
After twenty-one days’ treatment, she gained
thirty-two pounds, and l as improved wonder
fully ever since, and there is every reason to be
lieve that only a man who has suffered like I
have,-standing at the bedside of his afflicted
wife, night after night, month after month and
year after year, with no hope that she can be
rescued from the grave, or the asylum, is able to
oil*ivc uj laiiu m ttlm, and in his skin tis a phy
sician. May God bless him and his good work,
and may the afflicted of our country, long have
the opportunity of availing themselves of his
wonderful skill. Mr. Editor, I desire to make
oath to the truth of the above statement of facts
and do so yolnutarily and gladly.

L. Q. C. LAM AH.
A Public Alan Wlio Thinks and has a
Purpose.
Washington < orrcsjHindcnce Boston Post.]
iii must respects Senator Lamar is a
typical southerner. One who is at all
familiar with tlie ante-bellum days and
with the American citizen who nourish
ed then, and who gave tone and quality
to the foreign idea of our people, would
recognize the physical characteristics as
at sight. I-ong black hair, straight as an
Indian’s, black eyes, dark complexion,
loosely-hanging clothes, generally a
broad soft hat, all these things make Mr.
Lamar look like a southerner. But lie is
more a southerner iu his speech than in
his appearance, and still more southern iu
his nature than in liis speech.
When the congressional directory is
consulted one who knows Lamar well
must be astonished to read that when lie
was 24 years old—he is now 58—he was
“adjunct professor of mathematics” in
the University of Mississippi. The sur
prise will not be heightened, however,
when it is further learned that at the
same time he was assistant editor of Dr.
Bledsoe’s Southern JReview, nor again
when the information is given that he
turned his hack on mathematics in a year
and went back to his law books. Geor
gia gave Mr Lamar his birth and train
ing, but Mississippi has reaped most of
the reward and now enjoys the fruit of
his powers and his scholarship. lie has
been in public life since 1853, when he
was.elected to the Georgia legislature,
lie remained in his native state from
1850 to 1854, only four years, and then
he moved back to his plantation in Mis
sissippi. In three years more he was
sent to congress, and remained until
1800, when he resigned to take his seat
in the secession convention of his state.
Then came the war. For the first two
years Mr. Lamar vyas a confederate col
onel ; during the rest of the time lie was
Mr. Davis’ diplomatic pgent in Russia.
When peace returned, he resumed more
congenial ocupations, and until he was
elected to the forty-third congress he
was, first, professor of political economy
and social science, and then of law, in
the University of Mississippi.
People who know Mr. Lamar well,
and who have any friendly feelings
whatever for him, are very likely to end
by having a strong affection, for ho is
himself an affectionate man. Although
they did not like one another, Mr. La
mar and the late President Garfield had
natures very much alike. Where they
parted illustrated the difference between
strength and weakness of character.
Both w ere men of strong emotions and
sentiments. They had both the imagina
tive faculty developed so greatly that
they were poetic men, just short of poets;
both were orators; both loved books.
Here the resemblance ends. Through
all these characteristics in Lamar runs a
nerve of strength. All of Garfield’s
traits were dominated by liis overmaster
ing weakness. Garfield’s love for a man
was tickle; Lamar’s is sincere and en
duiiag. Garfield’s emotions would shed
themselves out in tears and exclama
tions; Lamar’s make no audible or visi
ble sign, for they are too strong for that.
The northern man had vices that he
drowned in a sea of virtuous outpour
ings, while the southern man lias noth
ing to conceal, though he may have
something to be ashamed of. While
Garfield said that he had himself to live
with always and that it w r as important,
therefore, that he should have the res
pect of so constant a comrade, Lamar
feels that and acts on it. Garfield had
impulses where Lamar has purposes.
Garfield yielded his judgment to his sur
roundings, and could not resist the temp
tation to small corruption; Lamar’s pub
lic life can never be anything but pure.
The whole difference is that between a
man of character and a man without.
The most lovable side of Lamar’s char
acter is shown, of course, to his friends,
but it is shown so exclusively to them
that it is not known of by mere acquaint
ances. The world, or that part of it that
has come in contact with the Mississippi
senator, looks upon him as cold and
moody. On the contrary, he is warm
and confiding. Ilis secrets belong to
his friends, and no one is simpler or less
artful in his talk with those whom he
likes. He tells his thoughts and feelings
with the freedom of a child, and he seeks
advice and encouragement with the
yuilenessnes of a singularly frank and
open nature. More than any other pub
lic man I have known, Mr. Lamar seems
to put himself wholly in the hands ot
those with whom he is en rapport. lie
pours himself out; he opens his mind
and heart and permits you to see what
he thinks and feels. He treats a friend
as a part of himself and admits that he
had pride in what lie does and in the
powers that he knows he possesses.
There is no vanity shown in all this; it
is the natural confession that all strong
men must make to themselves. Mr. La
mar simply enlarges his own personality
and takes into it those whom he loves.
He trusts them as he does himself, while
to the general public he is somewhat
cold and reserved.
For the last few years Mr. Lamar has
had very little to say in the senate.
Notwithstanding his bredth of view and
liis intense desire to put an end to fac
tional controversy, he is so thoroughly
southern that he has found it almost ab
solutely necessary to keep still in order
not to reply to the ungenerous taunts
that such mental and moral pygmies as
George F. Hoar are continually project
ing against larger and better men. Not
withstanding his silence, Mr. Lamar has
not been idle. He has sat day after day
in the senate chamber and waited for his
opportunity. He always thinks, and lie
almost always thinks of the south, and of

lie wants the south to abandon the
politics of getting ofie set of men iu or
out of office, and to take the business
view of politics. Although,he Is an im
aginative man, lie is one of the most logi
cal ; and he has accepted the results of
the war .as very few of t|s fellows of the
south dream of. He l|olD that state
sovereignty is gone, for Ihrrc cannot be
two sovereignties lu tine game govern
ment. What are the* of the
states has become mainly a question of
policy, and then he holds the conserva
tive view, concerning which, however,
he is no firmer, though lie fs more hon-
est, than Mr. Edmunds. *,
It is probable that as lopg as Mr. La
mar remains in public life, lie will be
one of the least talkative of senators. He
will never speak until liis occasion shall
come. His dread of saying anything
commonplace will always preveut his
taking p i.-t In the ordinary ihyHSjfla—the
ripples on the business of legislation.
It ig only w hen a large subject makes a
large demand upon him that he cun come
to the front of a discussion and say w liat
there is in him to say. What strength
and power of thought and speech he lias,
has been shown to the country often
enough to establish his reputation as an
orator, liis tariff speech of the last ses
sion was full of learning, and of master
ly argument; it was the great speech of
the debate.
In liis own house and in the homes of
his friends Mr. Lamar talks enough to
make up for his silence in the senate.
He must be classed among the brilliant
talkers—full of literature, learning, elo
quence and poetry. He rarely tells an
ecdotes; he is not often witty, though
he is sometimes, but he is maker of most
charming phrases and apothegms come
from him where most men would be
commonplace. He once described a
hypocrite—a man whose private life was
vfcioqjjf, but,who laid much store bj’ the
clpireh audits adjuncts—in this way:
“He paints his vices on a Siuuday-school
banner.” He once admonished George
F. Iloar, who had made an indecent at
tack on Jefferson Davis; “Ilou are
called a Christian statesman, but you can
learn a lesson heathen mythology. It was
not an eagle that preyed an the vitals of
Prometlms; it was a vulture.” When
he talks, however, he has what seme who
like to chatter in reply call the fault of
Coleridge—he does not know how to
converse; liis talk is almost all monolo
gue. But those who like to listen to him
do not want to talk. I recollect sitting in
his little room in his little boarding house
for two hours, one SundajGJilfiCht, while
lie talked continuously, drinking iced
water from a pitcher the meanwhile, on
secession, the teachings of the war to the
south, and its effect on constitutional
interpretation.
To conclude this sketch, which is as
imperfect as anything on this man must
be which is confined to the available
space of a newspaper, Mr. Lamar lives
simply and modestly, generally in a
boarding house when he is in Washing
ton and in his farm house while he is in
Oxford. People who pretend to know
say that he is impracticable about that
farm, and that he has been known to try
to cut a meadow of grass with a lawn
mower, which he pushed along in front
of him, and that having made a very
disappropriate impression on the grass
for the time which he worked, he sat
down under a tree, took his luncheon
from one pocket and the “Scarlet Let
ter” from another, forgot 1113 luncheon
and read the romance all the rest ot the
day. Ido not know how this is, but I
do know that he would rather read Haw
thorne than almost any one else, and
that he ought not to waste his time with
luncheons and lawn mowers.
REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COM
MITTEE.
Atlanta, Ga., April 13,1883.
To the Republicans of Georgia: —Your
special committee, chosen by your State
Central Committee, on the 15th day of
March last, and instructed with all mat
ters relating to a candidate for governor
at the special election to take place on
the 24th inst., to determine whether a
straight party nomination should he
made, or an independent candidate
should be supported, has been in consul
tation from time to time since its appoint
ment.
On the 10th inst., the committee was
convened to take final action on the
special matter intrusted to it, and was in
session until in the evening of the 12th,
when it appearing that there would be
no independent candidate in the field,
and the only question left, was whether
a straight nomination should be made.
In view of all the circumstances, the
conclusion was reached, that it was not
wise or expedient to make a nomination,
and the following resolution was unani
mously adopted :
Resolved , That we deem it inexpedient
to make a nomination of a republican can
didate for governor, to he voted for at
the special eleeiion to he held the 24t.h
inst., and the chairman of this conven
tion is requested to communicate this
action to the republicans of this state.
Respectfully,
A. E. Buck, Chairman.

famous charger, was, like his master,
never wounded. In contrast to this was
; the hard luck of Sir Ralph Abercromby’s
I favorite horse, which received seven bul
lets and two sabre cuts the day Sir Ralph
was killed. Yet the horse lived tweuty
years after the battle of Alexandria.

of those who held office under Bullock.
They don’t know the names of all those
who applied for office, and applied un
successfully; nor are they acquainted
with the language of the letters of a]>-
plication of those who were sueeeesful.
The people have a right to be informed
as to these matters, and the Legislature
at its corning session would do well to
give the press of the state free access to
all documents and letters of this kind.
The Rome Courier made this suggestion
a few days dnee. We now second it most
earnestly. Indeed, the writer of these
lines earnestly urged this action in one
of tU.e public journals of Uk* state, so soon
as the democratic party came into power
and Gov. Smith was put in the guberna
torial chair. The reasons for such a
course are as strong, it not stronger, now
than they then were.
It is believed by many that these letters
have been used in the past several years
to force men into a political subjection
that was distasteful to them. It is confi
dently thought that they have been used
to coerce men—that they have hung, as
it were, as the sword of Damocles, above
the political heads of many unhappy
Georgians.
If it be true that such use has been
made of them, then it is but proper, wise
and just to all the people that they shall
never again serve such a purpose, and the
quickest and cheapest way to prevent it,
is to give the press free access to the
archives. If all those who applied,
whether they received or not, were actu
ated by the pure and patriotic motives
which Senator Boynton and his friends
claim for his action, then, of course, none
can object to a full and speedy publica
tion. If there is anything individuals
would like now to suppress, then the
publication should come.
Those who are seeking the honors and
emoluments within the gift of the demo
cratic party, who claim a sort of proprie
tor}’ interest in the party, and who assert
a right to disbar others from its full priv
ileges and enjoyments, should not object
to have their political records made pub
lic.
If they may so object,the objection will
be and ought to be fatal to them. Before
the party proceeds to make a leader out
of any man it should be sure of the record
of his faith and practice. If these docu
ments and letters arc to be kept secret,
the party may in the future make a grand
mistake.
It is in the interest of pure methods
and good men that this “tin box” busi
ness should be Jjroken up. Democrats
who have been weak and unfaithful
should not be promoted to the disadvan
tage of those who have always been true
and consistent, and if there are any now
held in thraldom by such letters they
should be released.
The proposed publication will also be
productive of another beneficial result.
It mill prevent men from being slandered
and maligned. If there be no secret
records, then no false allegations may be
laid upon them. Immediately following
the nomination of Mr. McDaniel, the
rumor,.originating in Atlanta, flew over
the state to the effect that he had been an
early and prominent member of the
“Loyal League.” If this had been sprung
a little sooner, it might have damaged
him seriously. But for his prompt and
exhaustive denial, it would have es
tranged many democrats.
During the administration of Gov.
Smith all of these documents and letters
were carefully collected and filed away.
They ought all to he in the place of de
posit now. If not, it will he pertinent
to inquire why not. If the Legislature
will take the necessary action the press
of the state will lay before the people
the full record, and the skeleton will he
taken out from the democratic closet.

MINKS AM> MINING IN GEORGIA.
Dahlourga Signal.]
Lockhart.—The 20-stamp water-power
mil! is n6| at work. The ore is being
mined f rom the 7-foot vein on Findley
ridge. The vein i< very, uniform, and
turns out very well. The machinery
runs smoothly, and the directors and
owners are happy.
Pigeon Roost.—Has shut down. This
is a 10-stamp mill, not sufficient for
crushing the ore that can be obtained.
Col. White, the owner, says he intends
adding 10 more stamps at an early day.
Barlow.—The mill has been making
good time, aiul at present the ore is bet
ter than it has ever been. On Saturday
a monthly clean up was made, which
was, of course, satisfactory.
Findley.—This old, noted mine has
been shut down for some time, but, we
are glad to say, is now being prospected
with a view to recommence operations.
Mr, Roll fouml some very iu:U specimens
in his surface prospecting last week.
Fish trap.—This is the second week
that the Fish Trap mine has operated
since before the bitter weather, in the
early part of winter. The ore is being
taken from the same cut as heretofore.
We are informed that the clean-up of last
week was the largest ever made by the
company. They have on hand a large
supply of wood, and there is nothing to
prevent the mill from making full time.
Columbia.—The work is progressing
rapidly, hut on account of rain and lack
of carpenters the flume will not be com
pleted as soon as expected. The tunnel
through which the flume passes, in go
ing through a divide so as ,to get to a
great depth on the ore, is over three hun
dred feet long instead of two hundred
and forty.
Bast, of the Con., is making good time
on ore from both ends of the cut, and
the general management is the same as in
the past.
Ivey, also of the Consolidated, is ma
king full time. The water from the Cane
creek ditch has reached the mine, but
not yet in abundance. Work on the
ditch is being done, so as to get an
amount sufficient to run their 60-stamp
null, and also for mining purposes.
The three hundred and* odd foot tun
nel at the Columbia mine has caused con
siderable excitement among those en
gaged in (‘titling it for the past two or
three weeks, from the fact that the su
perintendent offered a hat, each, as a re
ward of merit, to the tunneller and
wheeler who cut the greatest number of
feet from the commencement to the
completion. They met in the centre of
the ridge on Monday afternoon, each
having cut over 150 feet. The liats fell
to; John Jinkins and C. A. Pitman, but
they do not boast much, from the fact
the men at the other end, Thos. Bruce
and Andrew Dockery, went through 42
feet of rock that required continual blast
ing.
SENATOR JOE BROWN.
McDaniel Evidently a Hard Pill to Swal
low—What the Senator Han to Say.
Chattanooga Times.]
United States Senator Joseph E.Brown,
of Georgia, accompanied by his wife and
two sons, passed through the city last
night in his private car, en route to Cali
fornia on a pleasure trip. He left on the
9:30 Mei/iphis train for Memphis, and
will go from thence through Texas.
A Times reporter called on the distin
guished gentleman in his private car, and
was cordially received.
The first question the scribe propound
ed was a feeler concerning the Blaine-
Brown boom for 1881.
When the ticket was mentioned, the
features of the dignified Senator relaxed
into abroad grin and he replied: “Why,
that talk is the merest nonsense and i6
not worth repeating. I have never giv
en it a serious thought, for I consider
the mere suggestion as the height of ab
surdity.”
“What do j r ou think of McDaniel, the
nominee for Governor of Georgia?” w r as
next asked.
The Senator looked perplexed. After
a second’s thought he said : “I’d rather
not express my opinion.”
“Will he be elected !”
“Oh yes. lie has no opposition and
will have a walk-over.”
“Will he please the people of Geor
gia?”
“I can’t say; in fact, would rather not
be quoted on this subject.”
“One more question,” quoth the Fa
berite, “and then I’ll leave you. What’s
the democratic prospects for 1881 ?”
This sounded funny to the usually
grave statesman, and he actually laugh
ed, and answered with a merry twinkle:
“now, my dear boy, you are delving
pretty deep into American politics, and I
am just about to start on a long pleasure
trip, and left all my political prognosti
cations at home.”
With this the subject was changed,
and soon the edified interviewer with
drew.
“Hail Stones As Big As Pumpkins.”
There is some doubt about the hail
stones having been quite so large, but as
some people said they were as large as
potatoes anyhow, it must have been a
severe storm. A man who is hit with
many hail-stones will be badly bruised.
It is surprising to see how quickly Per
ry Davis’s Pain Killer will relieve the
pain, even of the w r orst bruises.
A Florida darky at a point where the
President’s boat touched could find no
adequate way of expressing bis feelings,
naying clambered up on a cotton bale,
he first proposed: “Free cheers for de
President,” and then, as a sort of clin
cher, followed it up with: “Free cheers
for Christmas.”

MrttAVIKL'S RECEPTION AT HIS
HOME.
'I he Walton Xfirs furbishes us this in
teresting account of McDaniel’s arrival
at home after his nomination by the con
vention : Last Saturday will be long re
membered in Monroe. A large crowd
went to Social Circle, pH the morning
train to meet Maj. DeDauiel, who had
left Atlanta at 8:20. The Mon toe Brass
Band was on board, and made the air
fairly ring with tine music. The engine
was gaily decorated with flowers, placed
there by the hands of youujfhuly triends
of file new governor. As it pulled along
with its heavy load, it seemed to know
that this was the grandest trip it had ever
made. The people of Social Circle were
assembled at the depot, and ebrtetided a
hearty welcome and sincere eohgrathra
tions to Maj. McDaniel. He responded
in the most touching expressions of ap
preciation for their kindness. At night
fully live hundred citizens, from all por
tions of the county, assembled at hfs res
idence. After a stirring air by the band,
Gov. Boynton, who had arrived on the
evening train and passed the night in
Monroe, was first called on for a speech.
He spoke in the very highest terms of
his successful opponent, and congratula
ted Walton county upon having a son so
worthy and so competent to till the office
of governor, and predicted his elevation
to the office would bring prosperity and
good government to the state, and would
solidify the democratic party. Maj. Mc-
Daniel was next called out. His heart
was too full for utterance. lie said what
ever he was or may be, he would owe It
to the people of Walton county. He
spoke highly of all the candidates and of
their friends, who had opposed him in
in the convention, and said that amidst
all the excitement he had never heard a
single unkind word against him. He
thanked the people of the county for
their esteem, and said wherever in life
his lot may be cast, be would ever think
of old Walton as the dearest spot on
earth and her people as his nearest and
dearest friends. Judge Walker, Messrs.
Ray, Edwards and Blalock were next
called out and made flue speeches. The
crowd then dispersed, every one feeling
happy. The streets were tilled with men
and boys, whose wild “hurrahs for Mc-
Daniel” were heard for hours. A hap
pier day and a happier crowd we never
saw.
Will wonders never cease? It has
transpired that Joe Brown and the o’oh
stitution were at loggerheads on the gub
ernatorial question. Brown wanted Ba
con, and the Constitution didn’t by up
wards of considerable. As neither one
got their wants, perhaps they will har
monize when they gather around the
board to partake of that dish of crow.
Just think of Joe Brown and the Consti
tution eating crow together. —Xetcs and
Courier.
Joey couldn’t stand it. He has fled to
California. He will not vote for Mc-
Daniel. The Constitution , we believe,
now claims to have been the main instru
ment in bis nomination. But it will not
accuse Joey of “sulking in his tent.”
No man is perfect. It is impossible for
McDaniel to fall from democratic grace;
but Senator Brown’s antagonism to him
is endorsement enough for the writer.—

American trade with Mexico has in
creased within the past four years more
than 100 percent, In the same period
English exports to Mexico have increas
ed 23 per cent., while Mexican exports
to England have fallen oft’ 22 per cent.
French trade with Mexico shows a small
decrease in the same period. These
tacts, from the Mexican “blue book,”
show that Amenca is profiting far more
than any other country by the “new
development” in Mexico.
There has been a good deal said about
the wound of the Postmaster General re
ceived t before Atlanta. Gen. W. W.
Belknap, who was present when Judge
Gresham was shot, proposes to show that,
had not a rebel bullet struck General
Gresham on that occasion, Atlanta would
have been captured by the Union forces
that day; as it resulted, it took three
months’ more manoeuvering and fight
ing before the Federal forces marched
into the city, and then they allowed the
Confederates to escape to fight all the
way to the sea.
I saw General Hancock during the
week walking in the afternoon; time had
hardly spared him. He looks nearly as
large and almost as unwleklly as Gener
al Scott. His skin is of a dapper red hue
and a white mustache lies upon it like &
mutton chop with the wool outside
roasting on the coals. I thought of the
expression “Go and get some of the
hair of the same dog and put it on the
bite.” — Gath.
Investigation shows that in Utah the
Mormon church has about 120,000 mem

Islands about 7,000. It has about ninety
churches in Great Britain, and the de
nomination is one of the largest in the
southern part of Wales.
