ON WEAK-KNEED DEMOCRATS.
W ho Are They T
The Griffin Situ, ft red-hot, out-spoken,
fearless ami ably conducted paper, blazes
with white heat down on the pates of cer
tain individuals in that place in the follow
ing editorial, with so much truth, that we
republish it. Its application is not con
fined to Griffin, however. Hand lighters
down often, bright orb of day :
There are men in Griffin who hid behind
the twenty negro exemption in order to
keep out of the war. Niggers were good
enough for them —and they talk about
“ weak-kneed Democrats.”
There arc others in Grifiiti who left the
the country to keep from fighting (he bat
tles of Georgia, who are the loudest
mouthed in the abuse of that section in
our present Constitution—and which is im
plied in every State constitution —that
acknowledges the supremacy of the United
States Government. These men wouldn't
fight to lessen the authority of the Federal
Government over the State when the issue
was at hand—and they talk about “weak
kneed Democrats.”
There are men in Griffin who were cattle
speculators, or beef men, during the late
war, and never exposed their precious car
casses to danger in defence of their State—
and they talk about “ weak-kneed Demo
crats.”'
There arc men in Griffin who held posi
tions as stewards in hospitals and other
bomb proof places, living on the fat of the
land and keeping away from danger—and
they talk about “week-kneed Democrats.”
There are others who got appointed to
some petty offices, and remained at home
speculating upon the necessities of the sol
diers' wives and children—and they talk
about “weak-kneed Democrats.”
There are others who have sought office
under the Bullock Government, and some
who held positions under Radical rule since
the war—and they talk about “ weak
kneed Democrats.”
There are others who were rampant se
cessionists when bringing about tbe war.
and who promised to drink all the blood
spilled and take care of our widows and
orphans. These men, having gotten every
thing else from the widows and orphans,
want the homestead—and they talk about
“ weak-kneed Democrats.”
There are others in Griffin who were too
cripple, or sick, or weak, to do duty as a
soldier during the late war, but strong
enough to make money by speculating
upon the necessities of the people during
the contest, and quite well as soon as the
war ended—and they talk about “ weak
kneed Democrats.”
There are others who used every disgrace
ful and cowardly means to keep from being
sent to the front during the late war—and
they talk nbout “weak-kneed Democrats.”
(Mi. ye cowardly hypocrites ! Ye army
of shirking speculators ! Ye usury-taking
humbugs and legalized thimble-riggers!
Ye intolerant, bulldozing bounty-jumpers
and buttermilk rangers! How dare ye
look brave, honest men in the face and talk
about “ weak-kneed Democrats.”
Mr. Hayes it ml His Minstrel ilium.
Washington Star.
There was an interview at the White
House this morning, which was not down
on the books. The sable knight of the
pasteboards had carried in a bushel of cards
more or less, and was engaged in his diur
nal effort to keep good matured a room full
of impatient office-seekers, all of whom
wanted to go in first. The President with
in was undergoing his daily torment. To
him perspiring and sighing for a breeze
came a card bearing the superscription :
“ Charles Backus and wife.” The fame of
the minstrel was talismanic. “ Admit
him,” said the President, and Charley,
round formed and jolly, rolled in. “ No, 1
don’t want an office, Mr. President,” said
Charley, after being duly presented, “I’ve
come to do you a favor.” The President
sighed a sigli of relief. In two minutes had
forgotten the cares of office, and was laugh
ing at some of Charley's impromptu min
strelsy. A dozen poor but proud gentle
men from the South stood about saying :
“Be Gawd, sah, what a letting down of
official dignity, sah. Tt is disgraceful,
sah!” But Charley joked and the Presi
dent laughed. “ Well, Mr. President,”
said the jolly minstrel rising to go at last,
“ there’s a box at the theatre at your ser
vice.” “Mr. Backus,” replied his Excel
lency, evidently speaking from the bottom
of his heart, “ 1 would go to see you three
nights in succession if I could get the
time ;” and he looked at the impatient
waiters within and without, “ Come if you
can,” said Charley, bowing himself out
and vowing as he departed that he had
never seen so many seedy-looking Gener
als and Colonels in shiny black clothes
gathered together before in one place in his
life.
The following obituary notice was sent
for insertion in a Yankee journal : “ Mr.
Edatur : Jem Bangs, tvce air sorry to stait,
has deseized. He departed this Life last
munday at the ago of 22. He went 4th
without any struggle, and sich is life. Tu
Da we are as pepper grass, mighty smart,
to Morrow we air cut down like a cowcum
ber of the grownd. Jem kept a nice stoar,
which his wife now wates on. His vir
chews wuz numerous to behold. We
never new him to put sand in his sugir, tho
he had a big sand bar in front ov his haus ;
nor water in his milk, tho the Ohio river
runs past his dore. Peace to his remains !
He leaves a wife, 8 children, a cow, 4 horses
and quadrupets tu morne his loss ; but in
splendid langwidge of the poit, his loss is
thur eturnal gane."’
The blackberry industry in Georgia,
North Carolina and other Southern states,
is about to open, and the local papers are
showing what a bonanza is in danger of
running to waste. The little town of Sa
lem N. C., containing only about 2,000 in
habitants, has shipped during three years,
over 3,000,000 pounds of dried blackber
ries, for which nearly half a million dol
lars was received. This was equal to over
nine thousand bales of cotton at ten cents
a pound and is a resource certainly not
to be despised.

Ayer’s Ague Cure,
For Fever and Ague, Intermittent Fever,
Chill Fever, Remittent Fever, Dumb Ague,
Periodical or Bilious Fever, &c., and indeed
all the affections which arise from malari
ous, marsh, or miasmatic poisons.
This Is a compound remedy, prepared with
scientific skill from vegetable ingredients, which
rarely fails to cure the severest cases of Chills
and Fever and tbe concomitant disorders. Such
a remedy the necessities of the people in mala
rious districts demand. Its great superiority
over any other medicine yet discovered for the
cure of Interniittents is, that it contains no qui
nine or minora], and those who take it are freo
from danger of quinism or any injurious effects,
and are as healthy after using it as before. It
has been extensively employed during the last
thirty years in the treatment of these distressing
disorders, and so unvarying has been its success
that it has gained tbe reputation of being infal
lible. It can, therefore, be safely recommended
as a sure remedy and specific for the Fever and
Ague of the West, and the Chills and Fever of
the South. It counteracts the miasmatic poison
in the blood, and frees the system from its influ
ence, so that fever and ague, shakes or chills,
once broken up by it, do not return until the
disease is again contracted.
The great variety of disorders which arise from
the irritation of this poison, such as Neuralgia,
Rheumatism, Gout, Headache, Blindness,
Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma, Pal
pitation, Splenic Affections, Hysterics, Pain
in the Bowels, Colic, Paralysis, and derauge
of the Stomach, all of which become intermit
tent or periodical, have no speedier remedy than
Aver’s Ague Cure, which cures them all alike,
and protects the system from future attacks. As
a preventive, it is of immense service in those
communities where Fever and Ague prevails, as
it stays the development of the disease if taken
on the first approach of the premonitory symp
toms. Travellers and temporary residents arc
thus enabled to defy these disorders, and few
will ever suffer if they avail themselves of the
protection this remedy affords.
For Elver Complaints, arising from torpidity,
it is an excellent remedy; it stimulates this organ
into healthy activity, and produces many remark
able cures where other medicines fail.
