UKORGIA'S LEGISLATIVE RABBLE.
We very religiously read in tlie Macon
Telegraph, of Sunday last, that the legis
lature had adjourned on Saturday. Ihe
article was doubleleaded and “at the
head of the column ;” we mean under the
editoral "mast.head. We felt in tl!< “
humility of our soul that the thing had
dissolved, whether by action of the gov
ernor as a genuine Georgia Cromwell,
rh Telegraph frft us in doubt. As we
had been taking ft regular old siesta for
two or three days or more, we did not
know h\v it wag. At any rate we had
seen no signs of adjournment until Sun
day morning, and we thought that the
thing had “dissolved in their air” sure
enough. Cruel, Col. Lamar, to be thus
deceived and disappointed! But, after
much study and pious reflection, and a
prayerful reading of the Constitution, of
►Sunday, we saw that our legislative
rabble had not adjourned. We then re
read the Telegraph and the light flashed
over our mind, and we saw that the Telc
graph meant that about one-half of the
legislature had passed through Macon on
Saturday night, with grip-sack in hand,
going home on leave of absence whether
granted or not.
“By the Eternal!” in the language of
Andrew Jackson, we have a bold legisla
ture. Its members go home, on leave of
absence between drinks, on a free rail
road pass, and its is difficult to have a
quorum on the most importanttpiesiions,
leaving the flag of the state to droop in
1 mnility on account of the infidelity of
her public servants to attend to duty.
The absence of a quorum of Monday last
was so painful that Ben Russell, of De
catur county, arose in pious indignation
and patriotic contempt, and ottered a re
solution of sublime courage and manifest
conviction of duty to the state and people,
•‘that the legislature take up the business
before it, go ahead with it and adjourn
when it is finished but lie distinctly
impressed upon the house that, if “theie
is public business on the calendar that
should be finished, and if there is patriot
ism enough in this body wo will stay
here until we do finish it if it is next
January.” But, if Ben cannot secure a
quorum, how in the devil can the “pub
lic business” he attended to for the next
five years, even at four dollars per diem ?
That is more than any rural editor can
make at home with liquor thrown in and
an occasional cigar for a puff.
The most amusing thing of the morn
ing session of the house on Monday was
that the body was so thin, lank, lean and
‘dry,” that Mr. Bartlett, of Bibb, offer
ed the following preamble and resolu
tion :
Whereas, the members of the general
assembly are no longer able to attend to
the public business, and are-.detained
at home by their private allairs, and it is
impossible to obtain and hold the pres
ence of a sufficient number of members
to pass any bill, be it
Resolved, That this general assembley
do adjourn, sine die, within the 10th of
li*fteifcer inst., at 12 o’clock m.
Poor Barltett! There was a Middle
Georgia conscientiousness that prompted
that resolution. We should like to know
Bartlett. We shouldn’t mind a bottle of
‘Manhattan Club’.over the acquaintance.
But Bartlett was too innocent and un
suspecting.. Bill Ilulsey, of Fulton, mov
ed to table the resolution, and no quorum
voted. Mr. Patten, of Thomas, moved
to adjourn and that was lost. Mr. Mad
dox, of Chattooga, moved to call the
house. A part of the house was below
Macon with their grip-sacks, according
to the Telegraph. The roll-call revealed
Si) members present, or only one more
than a quorum, and poor Bartlett’s pa
triotic and pious resolution was defeated.
Calvin, of Richmond, reported a substi
tute for the educational bill, when, on
motion of Ben Russell, of Decatur, the
temperance editor of the Bainbridge
Democrat, the roll was called and the ab
sentees noted, and the house adjourned
to the next corner saloon to stir their
toddy with a stick and talk temperance
prohibition.
Mein Cott inHiminel! Mene, mene,
tekel upharsin! E Pluribus Unum!
Georgia is paying for the fiddle just to
see her monkeys dance!
A BOLT BE X TIJI EXT.
A writer in the Griffin Sun, among
other things, has this to say about senti
ment :
“Talk to me of sentiment—denounce
it, if you will—but it is my life, my soul,
my glory. Strange, think you, dear
readers? But the man without sentiment
is the egg without the meat, the fruit
without llavor, the llower without odor,
the bird without song, the sun' without
light, the man without soul. IlOw utter
ly insignificant is he! how little has he to
live for! how useless in this world of
light, of life, of love, the man who feeds
not on sentiment!”
Every word of the above quotation is
tme. A man or woman without true
and pure sentiment is only tit for strate
gems and spoils and ail manner of diabol
ical schemes against their fellowmen.
Such care nothing for parents, wives or
husbands, brothers nor sisters, nor their
own children. They are mean, menda
cious and sordid people who would not
scruple to murder and assassinate for re
venge or plunder. They can never en
joy the beauties of nature and of course
can never react the glories of a beautiful
immortality. Hades is their final des
tiny.
What a world this would b without
sentiment! What would be the glory ot
manhood or the beautiful purity of true
womanhood? It is sentiment that makes
the chrjstian, the patriot, the friend and
all that is grand and sublime, pure and
holy in h i man 1 f j !
DEATH OF MRS. GKN. TOOMBS.
There has been the occurrence of no
event in Georgia for many years which
has called forth more of genuine sympa
thy for a bereaved husband than the
death of Mrs. General Toombs, which
occurred last wMk fn ClarkesvniA, at their
summer residence. Tlie account of that
event is given elsewhere in our news
columns; and, lienee, what we have
here to write are words of unfeigned
sympathy for him who, after more than
fifty years of happy wedded life, is left
alone to go down to the grave, sad and
sorrowful, to rest by the side of his be
loved bride whom he lias so long loved,
adored and worshipped as a loyal hus
baud and a true lover. All his children
dead, his old life time friend, that great
and good man, Mr. Stephens, laid away
to rest, Mr. Toombs now comes to weep
over the greatest earthly loss of all, his
beloved companion, whose confiding
hand had rested within his own and up
on whose manly shoulders she liad rested
In confidence and love for more than half
a century !
We have eften desired to know Mrs.
Toombs, a pleasure we have been denied.
We can never forget the invitations to
‘visit her hospitable home, and always ac
companied with the fondly and reverently
expressed declaration by the general that
“she is the best woman in the world.” If
we had no other motive for loving General
Toombs, his love for his wife and his
knightly devotion to her would place
him deep down in the affections of the
writer of this hurried and imperfect
tribute to the living and the dead. A
man may ha ye his virtues and faults,
and all men do, tor it is “human to err;”
but when a man takes at tiio altar a
young wife adorned with the orange
blossoms of love and keep these upon her
brow fresh and bright for fifty-three
years, that same affection and devotion,
love supreme, will keep fresli and bloom
ing the flowers upon her grave to the
end of life! Such a man is General
Toombs. Such a beautiful wedded life
is seldom known and less seldom so long
enjoyed.
ButJhe grand man of giant intellect,
whose commanding form is now bowed
with age and grief, whose incorruptible
integrity as a statesman and public ser
vant is unquestioned and above suspicion,
must feel the sorrows and bereavements
that fall to the lot of all mankind. In
these we trust and believe that he will
have the fortitude to bear up manfully
in the face of tiiis last and saddest of all
sorrows and bereavements in the loss of
a beloved companion, and be spared
many years more of his useful and event
ful life, the best and sweetest years of
which may be, as all who know him are
confident will be, devoted sacredly to tlie
memory of those he loved in life, and at
last to meet in a blissful eternity beyond
the river,where lie may meet his bride and
children never more to part!
J.V OLD LANDMARK OF CHEROKEE.
There resides in Cartersville one of the
oldest citizens of Cherokee, Georgia. His
name is Mr. R. F. Daniel, father ofMr.F.
M. Daniel of this town. “Uncle Frank,”
as he is afi'eetunately called, is now over
eighty years old and is still an active old
man and comes down to tow n almost ev
ery day, always in a good humor and
happy-spirited, lie was a member of the
first grand jury of Cherokee county,
then comprising the whole country
known as the Cherokee nation. Tlie
court Jw r as held in the fall of 1832. lion.
Charles Dougherty presiding as judge of
the superior court. The court was held
ftt the plar3 now owned by Mr. S. C.
Tate, in Pickens county, The court met
and adjourned the same day, and the
grand jury found only one true hill and
that was against a white man by the
name of Tom Cantrill for hog stealing.
The said grand jury sat upon an old log
in a corner of a fence.
Mr. Daniel knows not that there is
living now another member of that grand
jury except himself. Before that court
he was appointed by Gov. Gilmer as one
of the managers to conduct an election
l’or two justices of the peace for the
whole of the second section of the Cheror
kee* nation, at which time Eli B. Mc-
Connell and Wm. B. Malone were elect
ed to said offices.
That was a long time ago! The de
scendants of the men of those days,
many of them have passed away,
and yet we have living and moving
among us Uncle Frank Daniel, cheerful
and contented, though his footsteps are
tottering for the grave. We hope his
last days may be happiness, of a good
conscience and a bright, hope of a future
immortality.
Mr. Daniel still lives w’ith his first and
only wife, now seventy-one and is in ex
cellent preservation and gets about well
for one of her age.
Mr. Conley, late postmaster at Atlanta,
Ga., wrote a letter to the postmaster
general a few days since, demanding the
reasons for his (Conley’s) removal. The
postmaster general has written a rather
sharp reply, in which he says that, be
fore he removed Mr. Conley he hail con
clusive evidence that the latter had not
only retained in his office but had pro
moted clerks whom he knew to be dis
honest, He adds that in view of what
recently passed between Mr. Conley and
an inspector of the postoffice department,
he is surprised that the former should
now ask why he was removed. Allusion
is supposed to be to admissions of delin
quency made by Mr. Conley to the in
spector and reported by the latter to the
postmaster general.
Bkt.ateo. —The Atlanta Constitution of
the 9th contains a dispatch dated at
Washington on the Bih September,
which says “On October 1 the postoffice
department will substitute a general mail
lock for those now in use.” The sender
of that dispatch is just a month behind
the times. The new mail locks were put
on all the mail routes on the first day of
this month (September.) They are said
to be a very superior steel lock.

The orations were nearly an admlraole
and delivered with grace and power.
Well did our young friend, Charlie Cox,
say in his valedictory to the faculty that
what Isaac Aewtou was to physic, what
LaPlace was to astronomy', Dr. Brantly
is to rhetoric. lie is without a peer in
his department. Apropos of Cox, we
were proud ol him. Tie gathered in all
the honors and caused no resentments.
All cheerfully accorded him supremacy
in every mental and moral quality, llis
address was a line production. While
he was being crowned with garlands at
Mercer, his quiet brother was reaping
the rewards of a scholarly eareei at Au
burn. Both are noble representatives of
a gifted family and lair LaGrange. Hen
ry flooten, their cousin, acquitted him
self with great credit, lie will make
his mark, if talent, hard study and in
tegrity avail a young man aught.
The Christian Index says: “The val
edietor}'address of Mr. Charles C. Cox,
of LaGrange, was pronounced the finest
ever delivered in Macon. He gives
promise of a bright and noble career.”
“We have never seen such a profusion
of rare and beautiful fiow r ers as those pre
sented to the speakers at this commence
ment. The crow ds in attendance at ey
ery exhibition were simply immense,and
for refinement, intelligence and genuine
interest in the exercises, could not pos
sibly be surpassed. Gy. McDaniel, as
he sat upon the stage, was the observed
of all observers. Prominent on the
stage, also, was the. form of {Jon. G. A.
Bacon.”
The Macnn Telegraph says: “At the
close of the addresses of the graduating
class, Dr. Rattle, in behalf of the faculty,
cenferred on Mr. C. C. Cox tlie Clarke
medal, awarded to that pupil, who, in
the opinion of the faculty, measures
nearest to the standard of the ideal stu
dent. By a strange co-incident the in
itials of Mr. Cox’s name stood for the
three considerations which determined
the bestowal of the medal, C. C. C. —
Capacity, Culture, Character.”
Th e Atlanta Constitution says: “After
the baccalaureate address, Charles C.
Cox, of LaGrange, first honor, delivered
the valedictory. The entire address was
mqie than ordinarily line, and was re
ceived with much enthqsiagm.”
AN IMPRESSIVE SCENE.
The delivery of the medal for “general
excellence” by Dr. Battle to Mr. Chas,
C. Cox, was done w ith consummate taste
and effect. The play upon the initials
of his name was a happy thought. Said
the president in substance: “By a singu
lar coincidence these initials represent
the grand requisites of success in life:
capacity, culture, character. These you
have exhibited in an eminent degree,and
if followed to the end still greater tri
umphs await j’ou.” The valedictory by
Mr. Cox was chaste,sensible and well do
livered. —Atlanta Journal.
BURIAL OF MRS. TOOMBS.
An Admirable Lady 1 aid to Lest in Wilkes
County.
Washington Gazette.]
Bishop Pierce, the life-long friend of
the family, conducted the services at the
Methodist church yesterday morning,
and delivered a discourse from the ac
count given of the sending for the Sa
viour when Lazarus was sick, lie dwelt
upon the thought that tlie death and
raising up of Lazarus was for the increas
ing of the faith of his followers. He
spoke of the early conversion and life
long devotion of tlie deceased to the
church; said that her religion was
principle, not sentiment. He urged his
hearers to*follow her beautiful example
as she had followed Christ. He said that
he had seen Mrs. Toombs in Washington
City in the presence of the president,
cabinet officers ]and foreign ministers,
and they all delighted to do her the hom
age so well deserved by her noble wo
manhood. He quoted these lines:
None knew her but to lore her,
None named tier but to praise.
; Through all her long life this place
was always the home of Mrs. Toombs,
and no woman ever more greatly endear
ed home and friends to herself by the
loveliness of her true womanly character
than did she.
She was married fifty three years ago,
and ever proved a meet companion lor
her illustrious husband, and the bright
est page in the biography of General
Robert Toombs will be the one that
comes nearest telling of his undying de
votion to his noble wile. ,
Her loss is one that our community
can ill-sustain, but the kindly memories
of her charities of heart and of hand will
l>c her most enduring monument.
General Toombs looked as if the be
reavement were greater than he could
bear—the light of his life was shut out
forever from this world. Many were
the tears that were mingled with his oyer
the grave of the departed.
Mrs. Toombs was buried in the family
burying ground four miles out in the
country. The following gentlemen were
the pall bearers: Judge W. M. Reese,
Messrs. C. A. Alexander, W. A. l*ope,C.
E. Irvin, J. W. Sanders and F. M. Bar
nett.
Two negroes commenced a row in the
Edgewood store last monday night, and
Mr. Moore ordered them out. One of
the negroes went out on the sidewalk,
and pulled out his pistol and cocked it,
ready to shoot the other as he emerged
from the store. To conceal his pistol
from some other darkies, he put the
weapon, still cocked into his coat, pocket
and as he did so the pistol was discharg
ed. The ball entered his thigh and came
out ‘about the knee. The wound is
very painful, but not necessarily danger
ous.
The Free Press agrees with tho Rome
Courier in th< following: Dr. Willis
Westmoreland, the eminent physician
and surgeon of Atlanta, has been appoint
ed physician of the penitentiary vice Dr.
Raines, deceased. It is said that he will
accept. This is one of the few instances
in winch men really make a large sacri
fice of pecuniary interest to serve the
state in an official capacity.

'Atlanta ConstrfttTTftJt? The following
telegram which was received here yester
day, w ill explain itself.
Nw York, August 27, 1833.—H. E.
W. Palmer, Atlanta, Ga.: Please, sub
scribe SI,OOO for me toward the budding
of the new Kimba 1. My congratulation
that Atlanta has the promise of anew
capitol building and a representative
southern hotel. W. A. Wilkins.
It is doubtful if we ever printed a per
sonal dispatch that wall be more grati
fying to the people of Atlanta, than the
above.
For many years there have been at
tempts more or less persistent and impor
tant to prejudice the people of Georgia
against their capital city. Tt is as the
answer to this sort of petty business that
Mr. Wilkin’s telegram is most signifi
cant.
Atlanta is a Georgia city—built up by
Georgians mainly, and representative in
every sense of the whole commonwealth.
Mr. Wilkins is a representative Georgia
gentleman, living at his home in Waynes
boro, beyond any local influence that At
lanta might exert. He is a quiet, private
citizen of large wealth, without any in
terest in Atlanta, and with no personal
purpose to subserve in this or any other
subscription he may make.
Asa citizen of Georgia, he is proud of
his state, proud of its capital city, and
appreciative of the pluck and enterprise
t shows in determining to make the
great fire of last month a blessing instead
of a disaster. Tills is precisely what his
subscription means, and it is just that
which makes it worth ten times a thous
and dollars to the people of Atlanta and
indeed to the people of Georgia.
