SENTIMENTS THAT DIFFER.
Wc would not hold that the Northern
people should be censured in the least for
<the wild and umnagnanimnun utterance of
individuals, but we allude to the recent re
marks of General Schuyler Hamilton on
the Decoration day of the Federal soldiers'
graves in New York, because we think that
the sentiments arc not endorsed by the
brave soldiers of the Union army. nor by
the masses of the Northern people, but
that the sentiments here uttered very fitly
represent the narrowness, the motives and
unfair and illiberal spirit that shapes the
conduct of the fanatics who are bent on
ruling or ruining this Government.
Apologizing for saying in a speech a year
ago that the graves of the llluc and the
Gray should be decorated alike, the speak
er said thatsisc'i language was spoken •' in
a fit of sentimental generosity, aroused by
misrepresentation of prominent Rebels.’’
die therefore urged that no member of the
grand army post which lie was addressing
might lay a flower oil the grave of a Rebel.
They were traitors in 1861, they are trai
tors now.
Such is the feeling of those who are no
friends to their country, no friends to this
Government, and who, instead of peace,
'want bickerings and strife. It is bad
enough for them to continue to insult the
survivors of the late terrible strife by un
holy crusades against the great principles
for which they fought, and by all base per
sonal epithets of treason’s category, but it
is the part of an inhuman wretch to ask an
audience in a Christian and enlightened
land to offer a Rlight to the graves of noble
patriots who yielded up their lives in be
half of their country. And turning from
such a scene, which we believe the great
heart of the Northern masses condemns,
we behold one of true nobility, and one
that reflects the sentiments and character
of the great Southern people. The day
before the sentiments just alluded to were
publicly uttered by un orator out of the
ranks of those who charge the South with
rebellion and disloyalty, we behold in the
halls of Congress General Joseph K. John
ston, who during the terrible war between
the states was one of the bravest and most
gallant Confederate Generals, ami who. af
ter the war is over, like all the rest of our
people, wants peace and reconciliation, we
behold him moving a resolution that Con
gress, out of respect, adjourn over during
the Decoration day of the Federal soldiers’
graves. In doing this Gen. Johnston re
flected the feeling of our southern people.
They have turned their backs forever on
disunion and rebellion, as it is called.
They respect the memory of the dead who
fought against them, and of course expect
all who have human feelings to respect, our
own loved dead. They have returned to
the Union bearing in their hands the olive
branch of peace and good will, and with
the dead past buried, and being in the
Union as states, with the rights of states,
as Senator Hampton remarked, they should
f>e treated ns states. The two sentiments
differ. From those who charge us with re
bellion and disloyalty, from those who
charge us with wanting to inaugurate nn
oiticr war. ironi ttiosc who reject the pence
offerings that we may bring, we find senti
ments that denounce not only our living,
but penetrrte the coffin lids of our
dead to hurl contumely against their ashes.
On the other hand, among the South thus
denounced wc find the higlu-st evidences of
humanity, magnanimity, pacification and
loyalty. Dot an impartial public look up
en this picture, then upon that, and judge
between them.

The Hartwell Si n quotes from the
Augusta Chronicle article on the Savannah
river blockade in reply to ours tno weeks
ago, nml concludes its comments with :
*• The Chronicle deserves the thanks of
the people for the interest it has taken in
having this matter investigated.”
We are glad to learn our Augusta con
temporary had taken any interest in the
question before we declared our intention
to agitate it until a thorough investigation
was had. Wc are very proud to have the
Chronicle array itself on our side, and
thank The Sun for calling our attention
to the existence of such a fact.—Elberton
Gazette - -
It would sccui from the above that our
esteemed contemporary is not pleased at
our reference to tne Chronicle. We would
state that our reason for calling attention
to the disinterested conduct of that paper
was. that some months ago a correspondence
in The Sun Oil the obstructions ill the Sa
vannah was noticed by the Chronicle, and
it called the attention of the canal com
pany to it and urged that an investigation
no made, and that if the assertions were
true that said obstructions be removed.
From the editorial comments of that paper
upon the Gazette’s timely article, we in
ferred that the advice of the Chronicle had
been acted on. We did not quote the edi
torial of the Gazette, nor all of tlio Chron
icle's, simply because we did not have the
space, and not because we wished to ignore
the arduous labors of the Gazette. It
would hardly be necessary, we take it, to
nav that the Gazette is heartily interested
in having those obstructions removed. All
the papers on the upper Savannah have on
1 more than one occasion called attention to
this great injustice. We do not know
which one was the first to inaugurate the
investigation—nor fin we care ; it is a com
mon cause. We have urged that this mat
ter should be attended to more than once
ourselves, and our motive in commenting
on the extract from the Chronicle was to
help keep the ball in motion. We hope
the Gazette will succeed in having the ob
structions removed; it is certainly directly
interested in the matter, for we are satis
fied that McCarty and Harper can leave as
large piles of shad bones around their
i dates as any tw o men in upper Georgia,
tot we thought, as the Chronicle lives
where the obstructions do not interfere
with its appetite for brain food, ami had
tried to help its country cousins in the
matter, that a little word of praise would
wot rutile the quill feathers of any of the
rural press. Come, come, Bro. McCarty !
let all we able and influential editors put our
herculean pens to the wheel and get them
dam obstructions out of the river, and lay
aside all quibblings. We arc willing to
say that you arc the first man that struck
Util J’atterson —gave him a thundering
.lick, llit ’im again!
While on this subject we would remark
that a gentleman thorough!)’ acquainted
■with the river has informed us that there
aM Ash-ways, but they are not efficient.
As'wc said before, let the Legislature take
this vexed matter in hand and settle it.
The Elberton Gazette deserves the
tlienks of thcpeopTe for the interest it has
tfcken in having the matter investigated.
*• Let U 6 have peace "’—and tih
STOCKHOLDERS MEETING.
Pursuant to a call bv the Hartwell Rail
road Directors, the Stockholders of this
company held a meeting in the courthouse
on the tlrst Tueadnt in June.
After ascertaining that there were a ma
jority of the stock nrosent, so that what
was done might he legally done, the sub
ject of the contract to build the Road,
which was awarded to a company last regu
lar meeting, was taken up and thoroughly
discussed with a view of ratifying nr re
jecting it. The contract was amended so
that the contractors arc limited to a certain
amount of the stock, and all that may he
secured above this amount will go towards
reducing the indebtedness of the Road.
\Vc look upon the amendment as a very
wise one to nil parties interested, but
specially to the stockholders. In the can
vass for stock a goodly number of our
citizens have withheld their subscriptions
on various grounds as excuses, lint now
the subject bids fair to exhaust their ex
cuses, and unless they hack right squarely
down from their professions they will have
to come up and swell the stock, so that the
Rond when built will be forever secured
in the hands of our own people and out of
the hands of mere speculators, who may
run it to the detriment of our business in
terests generally. Hence, it does not re
quire a personal appeal to the public spirit
ed friends of the Road to get more stock,
hut these faets of themselves carry with
them a strong appeal for the augmentation
of the stock, to the end that the Road may
he thoroughly' unencumbered and owned
by tbe citizens of Hart county.
A Ithoiigh some objections to the con
tract tiad been urged by sonic of the Stock
holders, and which hail excited some so
licitude about the fortunes of the the Road,
on taking the vote for ratification, not a
dissenting voice was heard—every vote was
east for ratifying tho contract.
This indeed was very gratifying—show
ing us it did that the stock was all taken for
the purpose of building the Road and that
the Stockholders were willing and even
anxious for the Rond. The contractors
are thus made sure of collecting in the
stock w ithout perhaps any litigation and
with the least possible amount of delay.
Some objection was raised against the
validity of the contract, inasmuch as one
of the parties had not signed. These ob
jections. we think will not have force very
long, if in indeed they have any at all. for
the party will soon sign up as the others
have done.
OHIO’S CANDIDATES.
The Democratic Gubernatorial Conven
tion which convened at Columbus the 4th
inst., on the second ballot nominated Gen.
Thomas Ewing for Governor, and Gen. A.
V. ltice for Lieutenant-Governor. The
ticket thus put in the field is considered a
strong one. Gen. Ewing is a gentleman of
distinguished ability, has played a promi
nent part in public affairs for years, serv
ing several terms in Congress, and has
quite liberal financial views which will
doubtless bring him great strength from
the Greenback element. General Rice is
a fit champion to occupy the second place
on the ticket. He is a man of ability, of
great personal popularity. He lost a leg
during the late war in ihe I'nion service.
While in Congress he secured the passage
of the pension arrears bill.
'l’he platform adopted demands fair elec
tions, free from military interference, that
laws passed by Congress under pretense of
regulating Congressional elections inter
fere with State elections and overthrow tha
luwsof the states governing such elections,
that the laws are unconstitutional and
ought to be repealed, demands a change in
the Federal Jury law. so that juries can
not be used forpartizan purposes ; charges
that the recent conduct' of the President
and minority in Congress, with regard to
the appropriation bills, deserves the con
demnation of the whole American people ;
that President Hayes, by vetoing well
considered and constitutional legislation,
lias disregarded the intentions of the
framers of the Constitution, and opposed
the wishes and welfare of the people; that
it is the sense of the Democracy of Ohio
that no money should be appropriated to
pay soldiers, marshals or supervisors to
interfere with elections; reaffirms the
financial doctrine heretofore advocated by
the Democracy ; favors the repeal of the
present national hanking system ; the sub
stitution of greenbacks for national bank
notes, and condemns the demonetization of
silver, and demands that silver be restored
on an equal footing with gold.
With good men on the ticket, planted on
a good platform, and engaged in a grand
and glorious cause, we trust that victory
may crown the efforts of tho old Ohio
Democracy.

Editors Hartwell Sun : Thcro was
something said in The Sun of tho 16th of
April about dishonest ministers, at which
there have been some exceptions taken 1
notice in the number of the 23d of April.
A great pity there are so many such of
that class. 1 used to know a minister in
Elbert whom Washington Dooley and oth
tliers furnished with provisions and other
means to live, and he got so independent
that he would not work for them nor try
to pay them, and when some of his credi
tors tried to make him pay them lie took
the benefit of the insolvent oath, moved to
Clarke county, and never paid a dollar. I
know whereof I speak, and there are
others in the county that know the same.
1 sold a minister corn and fodder several
years ago to make a crop and feed Ins fam
ily, and after waiting nine or ten years, by
putting my claim in an officer's hands fur
collection 1 got the principal without in
terest. The same man bought corn from
one of nv wife’s brothers, and the last
time I saw him he said that the minister
had not paid him a cent. I told him that
the minister aimed to pay him in preaching.
I know one that years ago borrowed money
from an old lady, and recently she tried to
get $2 of him to buy corn to make bread j
to eat, and lie would not let her have even
that small amount, after she had waited
on him for years—and there are ninny such.
1 see in the same paper that your minis
ter speaks of dancing as a sin. and of
course as a shocking or great sin. I thought
he was a believer in that Hook he tries to
teach. Just read the 149th and 150th
Psalms, and various other passages on the
subject of dancing. The people were
taught to praise God in the dance, or by
dancing, and on an instrument with strings.
If I had another family of children to
raise I would learn them how to dance.
It is exhilarating to the feelings and brac
ing to the nerves; and there is no more
harm in a social dance than there is in a
social singing—not a bit. I was pleased
with the account of the picnic at Shoal
Creek. I.ct the young people get together
and dance and enjoy themselves, and be
have themselves, and there is no harm.
It creates a kind, friendly feeling amongst
them. Young people, praise God in the
dance, with an instrument of strings.

Messrs. Editors : Please allow me

dillerencc in colored Methodism :
First, the M. E. Church, which is North

ored. The A. M. E. Church (the African
Church), was organized in the year 1816. in
Philadelphia, Pa. This Church was not
known in the South until since the war.
The African Zion Night Church, organized
in the year 1819 in New York. This Church
was not known here until since the war.
The Colored Methodist Episcopal Church
in America, which is the Church I repre
sent. This Church was organized in Jack

Methodist Conference South, this Church
being a part of the M. E. Church South
before the war and up to that date, but
now called the C. M. E. Church in Am

Small Papers.
From the Gainesville Eagle .
There are people who seem to think that
the value of a newspaper consists in its
size. There is no greater mistake. An
immense blanket sheet poorly edited, all
sorts of indifferent matter carelessly thrown
together, is about the sorriest apology for
a newspaper that can be indicted upon a
patient people.
Many of the very best papers of the
country are small. The tendency of
this age ot railroads and telegraphs, is
toward multum in parvo. This world
moves too fast for people to wade through
a mass of hulls for one kernel of interest
ing fact. The New York Sun is the small
est of metropolitan journals making any
pretensions to national reputation or influ
ence, and yet there is hardly any more in
fluential or widely quoted American daily.
The Fulton Times is another example, the
Oil City Derrick another, the Hackensack
Republican another, anJ to come nearer
home, we may mention The Hartwell
Sun, Dalton Headlight, Cuthbert Southron.
W'arrenton Clipper and Quitman Free
Press, neither one of which has over six
colums to the page, and every one of which
is as lively as can be imagined. They are
not full of scissorings but full to the brim
of life, wit, and spice. They are all a credit
to Georgia journalism, and wo would rather
have either one of them than any great big
poorly edited sheet we know of.
