Brother Smith, of the Argus, seem* very much “disgruntled” at our re rnoarla* —oensiuf JJrOWHj A IftW weeks ago. If we had any idea that he would have taken the matter so much to heart, wc certainly would have spar ed him so great an affliction. No one disputes Senator Brown’s ability, ns a man, hulas a politician he is notorious ly known as an unreliable trickster, and aa a demagogue he stands pre-em inent in the history of Georgia politico. Ifßro. Smith io not posted upon the record of Mr. Brown, we advise him to search the files of the Georgia papers for the past twenty years and inform himself, for we have neither the spaco nor time to devote to the rchersal of the dead issues of the past, even to accommodate Brother Smith. We will state, howe er, for the edification of the Argus man, that the great mas* of the Democrat* of Georgia have very little confidence in Joe Brown’s hones ty ami integrity as a political leader, while all admit that he has talent, and ■o long as the present generation lives will the history of the perfidy of Jo seph E. Brown be perpetuated. But a* Mr. Brown is not lefore the people for any position, Brother Smith wil) have to excuse us for not giving him any further information, at this time, on the political history of his talented pet. We have never voted for Joe Bown, nor any other political turncoat for any oosition, and csn’tiirmgine any emergency that could Induce us to do so- A* for Gen. Grant, he has the advan tage of consistency, at least, a virtue that not even the Argus man can, with uny degree of truthfulness, claim for his pet, that he so much delights to honor I If the Argus man, is not aware of the fact that there is a formidable po litical faction, "Independents,’’ ao-call ed, that threatens the overthrow of the old original Democratic party in Geor gia, he ought to keep himself better poeted. As we before stated, the in dications are very plain that the Inde pendent* are gaining strength—dissat isfied place-hunters are Hocking to them with the hope of getting pro motion, and the senseless, blundering tenacity with which the last guberna torial convention adhered to Colquitt, practically disrupting the Democratic party, is now bearing the fruits of dis cord sown broadcast by that fanatical convention. That tho mass of intcligence (not meaning that all his followers were ignorant fools) were op posed to Gov, Colquitt, we presume not even the Argus will deny. Neith er can it be denied tliat he owes his election principally to Joe Brown's manipulation of the Radical negro vo ters, and a few leading men whose po sition in office depended upon Col quitt’s success. We only mention these facts incidentally, however, and not for the purpose of reviewing the course that led to tho unfortunate differences in Democratic ranks, as the bitterness of that struggle is still fresh in the minds of the people. But even the friends of Mr. Colquitt now admit that tl> huFga <.f a want rvf atulity and statesmanship were well founded, and if our state has prospered during his administration it is only because our people have pluck and energy. Tho blunders of the Governor have been too recently and widely discussed and ventilated, to need any comment at this late day. Besides there is no ne cessity to attact an imbecile adminis tration that is drawing to a close. It will soon be numbered with the things of the past, but the seeds of discord it engendered in the Democracy, will be felt for years to come, and may ulti mately sound the death-knell of that time-honored party know as the ‘‘Or ganised Democracy ” If Bro. Smith considers the present political outlook “well enough” to “let alone,” we beg to differ with him. We have no sym pathy with a mongrel party and no faith in political turn-coats. Demo cratic principles are good tnongh for us, and the News wiil always be found in the front rank battling for their m&intainence. .'imericus Recorder: The Georgia Bubiist Convention vfill meet in our city on the 20th of April next. Thu ■will he the largest and most impor tant tneeuun i„.|j here for uoveral years, and extensive preparalioßS will soon begin to be made for the eateoi this distinguished body. Americas lias a wide pread fame for genet ons hospitaln its toward guests of this character, and our citiaens will takt> pleasure ia throwing open their doors to the convention. Let Col. Harp give us more local in the Examiner.—Enterprise. It would be a good idea. Guiteau’s gallows is to he built of Georgia pine. The appointment of T. M. Thurman, postmaster at Griffin, has been con firmed by the Senate. The Griffin Sun, newsy, spicy, and a welcome visitor, has entered it's sixth year. The Griffin Sun thinks pattent out sides ‘ abominable.’’ Well,, the people don't. An attempt is being made to displace Collector Clarke of Atlanta. If reports are true, he should he “highsted." Guiteau has been leceiving anony mous letters containing small-pox scabs, whereupon he demanded that he be vascinated. Wyly Bedding, a notorious colored man, wanted for some time by the au thorities of A tlr.nt* and the State, for sundrie crimes, wa3 recently killed at Fairborn, Smith, a young lawyer of At lanta, asß.,ulv-U nn.i Klietheu the editor of the Post-Appeal down, in his office, one day last week. The trouble grew out of an article in the Post-Appeal, coppied from the Denver. Colorado, [Times,] in which an Atlan ta girl accuses Smith of betraying and deserting her, and had her spiriated away to the latter place, thinking the matter would never he made public. She sought an Interview with a repor ter and revealed the facts from begin ning to end, which make it the most ridiculous affair we have heard of in some time. Smith demanded an apol ogy and a retraction of DeW’itt who refused, saying he was not the man, that if a retraction was to be had, it was due from other parties. Eastman Times : “The boys up on Wallan’s creek, in tnis county, have adopted a novel way to gobble up wild gobbler*. When they take it into their heads to make a raid on this monstrous wild bird, they simply piovide them selves with fleet horses and a pack of dogs os their only ctnplemenfs of war fare. Thus equipped they hie way to the woods, and when they find their game they simply put spurs to their horses and proceed to chaso as though it were a fox instead of a turkey. A fat gobbler, it is said, cannot fly a great distance, and when fie pitches, if on the ground, ho takes to his heels till he is so closely pursued by the dogs that he is compelled to resort again to his wings for safety. Thus the chaso is kept up continuously until'.he gob bler becomes completely fagged out and can neither run nor fly, when, of course, he has to suocumb to his pur suers. A ('heap Plan for Belter ■load* If all the empty wagons coming to town after guano and other supplies, during the spring, would each bring a load of rocks, from some rocky bill on the way, and dump them into the first big mud hole they come to, it would not he long until every public road lending to Covington would be thor oughly macadamized. This plan may seem hard on those who would have to do the work of hauling the rocks, but they would be more than amply repaid for tho work in having good roads to travel over in the years to come. A littlo co-operation in this matter would give our people the best public roads in the country, and would soon save enough in the wear and tear of vehicles, teams and harness to more than compensate every one who had helped to do the work. If such co operation could be had between those who come to town in empty wagons as to secure the hauling, it would be a great saving of labor to the road hands along each public highway, if, instead of devoting all their road work ing time to repairing of bad places in the roads, they would pile up the rocks at convenient places near tho road side, so tho watera"' ooi.M get iliom with out much trouble. In this way all the had hills and mndholes on the public roads leading to town could l>e thor oughly macadamized, and those who did the work would be amply com pensated in having betterroads to trav el. The plan is feasible, if the people will take Void of it.-—Covington Star. llev. Sam, I*.

Colored people cannot sue under the fifteen amendment for damages unless they can prove citaenship. Tba' is the point of a decision just rendered by Judge Brown, in the United Slates District Coart at New York, in the case of one Lewis, a 00l ored man of foreign birth, who sued Oliver Hitchcock & Cos., restaurant keepers, for five hundred dollars dam ages for refusing to supply him with refreshraents. The court holds thst there is nothing in the civil rights bill or in the nature of the subject creat ing a pre*urapli'>n that Congress in tended to legislate in favor of aliens, and that the word “citiaens” in this as well as in other pub ic statutes in dicated that it is only actionable for person to deny rights of accommoda tion to citiaens only, and t'ia>, there fore to entitle a person to recover he must allege and prove lliat ho is a cit izen. - (he Young lien of the Mouth The editor of the Southern World desiring to stimulate the young tuen of the south to a deeper interest in, and a more practical knowledge of agricultural pursuits, offers lh- t’oL lowing premiums, open to any young man under sixteen years ot age, in any ol the Southern States.

Philadelphia, Feb 2 —Mr. J. 11, Ridgeway, patentee and manufacturer of refrigerating apparatus gives the following details of arrangeuivnt he has perfected with Mr. Scovilln for the preservation < f Giro :u’s body: "I am to have pose sion o! the body immediately after death. I shall then have it preserved in a refrigerating apparatus upon which I have a patent. The body will be placed on exhibit ing in all the principal cities in this county, under my supervision, and afterwards will be taken to Europe I will pay over half the receipts to the relatives of Guiteau the other half will be at my disposal, that is the agreement; now I wil discribe to you the apparatus I propose to use. I will have built a ease or room, about the size of my office, which is about ten feel square. Thr-e sides of the case will be of glass, so that the interior may be plainly visible. Attached to tbp fourth side will he my refriger ating apparatus. I have not yet du eid< <1 how the body shall be dtsp sed, but it. will be arranged so as to look as natural impossible. The form will be dressed just as in life ami the feat urea will retain the expression they attain immediately after they herein fixed in death this will result from th" state of perfect preservation in which the entire corpse will bo r tam ed by my refrigerating apparatus. I have not yet decided on the route we will take. We will visit all of the chief cities of this count rj, after which we will go to Europe and probably exhibit the body in all the principal cities of the Continent. I think we will do even better financially there than in this country.

The fire originated in the Maxey building owned by Judge Bartlett and US' and as a house for stor ing his furniture, etc., moved when he sold his residence not long since.

The next week he sold Ins corn at four cents below the inaikel price. Then his property was sold tor taxes, because he didn't read .the sheriffs sales, lie was arrested and fined eichi dollars for going bunting on Sunday, simply because 1 e didn't know that it was Sunday; and he paid S3OO, for a lot ol forged notes 11 at had been advertised two weeks and the public cautioned not to negotiate forth m.

Such is life without a newspaper. Some of the -‘fence men” of Hons ton county a>e doing a very foolish thing in stopping the Fort Vaiiey Mirror, merely because the editor had a mind of his own. It is impos sible that all men shou and see alike, and because we differ in matters of pollicy, is no reason why we should *crk to injure our neighbors. A Young man by the name of Hen derson wrote for a free pass over the South Carolina railroad and signed hims' lf editor of the Athens Banner, whereupon Waterman goes for hnn as follows; The letter was written upon a printed letter head ot ths Banner, which Henderson must have purloin ed while working for a f--w days in the Banner office as a printer. He never had any connection with the Banner except to work on it as sta ted above. His bare-face attempt to swindle the road out of a free ride tias made him liable to persecution for cheating and swindling He is a printer by trade and came here a lew weeks ago from Cincinnati. His fa ther, Mr. Isaac Michael, a very wor thy man, so far as we know, lives in Athens. Henderson's real name is or was Michael; hut he lias changed it to Heuderson. lie is the one who sent out circa.ars signed “Aeome Import ing Company,” and offering seed corn for sale. He had a tliousand of those circulars printed at the Athens Chronicle offifte, and sent thorn out to newspapers all over the country, au thorizing them to insert his advertise ment to the amount of four dollars. If he sent all the circulars be printed, be must have tried to get $4,00), worth of advertising. Rather a risky business for a young man with no means.

Broad Street: ALAM.I, Georgia. .1® Dr. Felton, iu hiu Augusta speech said the Government of the United States is paying annually $70.00tU,000 interest on bonds, arid declared that we must stop it. Every tax-payer and non-bondholder will favor this iden, whether it may be thought that Dr. Felton’s method for accomplish• ing the object is bes or not. An in terest iax of $70,000 00 per annnm on a population ot $50,000,0*10 is 1“ 4-10 per cent, p-r capita, and the part to be paid by Georgia, according to population, would be $2,100,000 per year lor interest on United States bonds, and this in addition to all our other taxes—tor State county aDd municipal purposes. Dr. Felton is right. This tax should be taken off as soon as possible and the people re lieved from their burdeu as speedily as may be.—Times The Cincinnati papers are giving accounts of the Trichinosis which re sults from eating deseased pork ,as it is raging in some ports of the West. The doctor cut a piece ot flesh from the arm of a person who died of the disease, an-t found it to contain “six thousand’’ of the,worms to he square inch. And yet pork is allowed to come into Georgia from the very sec tions were these Diets are known to exist, without auy inspection or ex amination in toe interest of the pub lic health. A novel method ha lately been discovered by Mr, H. N.

General Gordon and his brothers, Walter aud Eugene, have about closed another r<>ilroad transaction, larger ami more important than the Georgia Pacific, and it is s*id netted them considerably over a million dollars in cash.
