Letter from Washington.
Washington D.C., June 27tli. 1879.
Senator Burnsiafe is not n learned
man. and, as shown in his quarrel with ,
Conklin?, is not a ready man, but Ills
late resolution concerning the construc
tion of a shi|>canal across the Isthmus,
by a foreign corporation under the con
trol of foreign nations is a very proper
and patriotic one. Just how to prevent
such construction tinder such influence
is a question to be solved, but the
United States should lose no time in j
declaring its position on the subject.
The Senator should see that the Senate
acts upon his resolution. It is as fol
lows :
“ Whertaa The people of this Union
“ for fifty years have adhered to the
“ Monroe ” doctrine, that the natives of
“ the American continent, by the free
'* and independent condition which they
“have assumed and maintained, are
“ henceforth not to be "Considered as
“subjects for future occupation by any
“ European poweV, 'therefore be it
“ Pesolved, By the Senate and Holts' 1
“of Representatives that the people of
■“these States should not view without
“ serious inquietude any attempt by
“tire powers of Europe to establish ttn
“ der their protection and domination.
“ a ship canal across the Isthmus of
“ Darien, and such action could not be
“ regarded in any other light than as a
“ manifestation of an unfriendly dispo
“ sition towards the United States."
Another resolution was introduced a
few days ago bv one of the most intel
ligent, pains-taking and conscientious
men who ever sat in the Senate—Sena
tor Beck, of Ivy. It proposes an in
vestigation into the subject of Govern
ment revenues and the manner in which
the departments are carried on. Those
who have given any thought to the sub
ject know that immense sums, are an
nually wasted, not only through the
imperfection of our methods of collec
tion, but through the inefficiency of
those holding position, and that in sev
eral of the departments there are
double the number of employees, at
latge salaries that are necessary. The
inquiry of Senator Beck is proper, and
he is the man of all others to head the
proposed committee,

HOLLOWAY’S OINTMENT.
Bad Legs. Bad Breasts, Sores and Ulcers.
All d©Hcription of sores are remedial by the proper
ami diligent use of this inestimable preparation. To
attempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of
the wound together is a folly ; for should the skin
unite, a boggy diseased condition remains under
neath to break out with tenfold fury iu a few days.
The only rational and successful treatment, as indi
cated bv nature, is to reduce the inti animation in and
about tlie wound and to soothe the neighboring parts
by rubbing iu plenty of the Ointment, as salt is forc
ed into meat. This w ill cause the malignant humors
to be drained off from the hard, swollen, and discol
ored parts round about the wound, sore, or ulcer,
and when tlu se humors b-.o removed, the wounds
themselves will soon heal ; warm bread and water
poultices applied over the affected parts, after the
Ointment has been well rubbed in, will soothe and
soften the same ajul greatly assist the cure. There
is a description of ulcer, sore and swelling, which
need not be named here, attendant ujtod the follies
of youth, and for which this Ointment is urgently
recommended as a sovereign remedy. In curing
such poisonous sores it never fails to restore the sys
tem to a healthy state if the Tills be taken according
to the printed Instructions.
Diphtheria, Ulcerated Sore Throat Scar
let and other Fevers.
Any of the above diseases inay be eured by well
rubbfnc the Ointment three timed a day into the
cheat, throat, an 1 neck of the patient: it will soon
penetrate and (jive immediate relief. Medicine taken
by the mouth mudt operate upon the whole uvatem
ere its influence can be felt in any local part, whereas
the Ointment will do its work at once. Whoever
tries the unguent in the above manner for the die
eased named, or any aimilar disorders affecting the
chest ami throat, will And themselves relieved as by
a charm. All sufferers troin these complaints should
envelop the throat at bedtime in a large bread and
water poultice, after the Ointment has been well
rubbed in ; it will greatly assist the cure of the
throat and chest. To allay the fever and lessen the
inflammation, eight or ten Pills should he taken
night and morning. The Ointment will produce per
apical ion. the grand essential in all eases of fevers,
sore throats, or where there might be an oppression
of the chest, either from asthma or other causes.
Piles, Fistulas, Strictures.
The above class of complaints will be removed by
nightly fomenting the parts with warm water, and
then by most effectually rubbing In the Ointment.
Persons suffering trom these direful complaints
should lose not a moment in arresting their progress.
It should he understood that it is not sufficient mere
ly to smear the Ointment on the affected parts, hut
it must be well rubbed in fur a considerable time two
or three times a day. that it may bo taken into the
system, whence it will remove any hidden sore or
wound as effectually as though palpable to the eye.
There again bread and water poultices, after the rub
bing in of the Ointment, will do great service. This
is the only sure treatment for females, cases of can
cer in the stomach, or where there may be a general
bearing down
Sores and Ulcers.
Blotches, as also swellings, can, with certainty, he
radically cured if the Ointment lie used freely. *u'l
the Pill's taken nijtht anil mornin". as recomnienile.il
in the printed instructions. When treated in any
other way they onlv dry up in one place to break out
in another; whereas this Ointment will remove the
humor from the system, anil leave the patient a vig
orous and healthy beiujt- It will require time with
the use of the Pill* to insure a lasting cure.
Dropsical Swellings, Paralysis and Stiff
Joints-
Although the above complaints differ widely in
their origin and nature, yet they all require local
treatment. Many of the worst cases of such dis
eases will yield in a comparatively short space of
time when' this Ointment js diligently rubbed into
the parts affected, even after every other means have
failed. In all serious maladies the Pills should he
taken according to the printed directions accorn
panyiDg racb box.
Both the Ointment and Pilie should be used in the
JolXnwinj cases :
Bad Legs. Chapped Hands, Glandular Siwell-
Bad Breasts, Corns (Bolt), ings.
Bums, Cancers. Lumbago,
Bunions, Contracted and Idles,
Bite of Mosqni- Stiff Joints. Rheumatism,

A Brief Visit to tlic l.nml of No Fence.
On Saturday last we visited the town of
Anderson for the first time since we left
there three years ago. We were greatly
astonished at the many changes ami im
provements that have taken place, and will
say in tho beginning that this dear old
town ol our boyhood is the prettiest in
that State. We noticed quite a number of
new buildings that have gone up. several
in process of construction, and prepara
tion for building others. They have re
cently built anew tnarket-house. which is
neat and pretty. Some iden of its appear
ance may he inferred from what a farmer
said when ho first saw it : “ Is that the
new Presbyterian Church von folks have
bean minting so much about?” We were
a little curious about the Chureh ourself,
so we went around to see it. The brick
work is well under wav, and from present
appearances it will be an imposing edifice.
Ft will have a basement story for Sunday
school purposes. The building will cost
five or six thousand dollars. We were in
formed that the foundation of the Catholic
Church is being dug. and the congregation
hope to have it finished at an early day. An
derson will then have five churches. Thev
ought to he good people. A storehouse
is being built on the square, west of the
Masonic Hall, of wood—a had idea. The
old building at McCnlly’s corner, which
has been an eye sore for a number of years,
is to he torn away and a large brick build
ing erected in its stead—a good idea. The
enterprising firm of Moss & Brown are
enlarging store No. 1. and are preparing
to build clean out to the railroad cut.
and it won't be long before they will build
one across the cut. Go it. Aunt Sally,
while you're young! Up Pendleton road
new and elegant residences meet the eye
on all sides and in fact the town is spread
ing itself. We met many old friends, hut
didn't get half wav round—like the little
man hugging his big wife, we will have to
chalk and begin again. But the spirit of
enterprise and improvement does not end
in the town, we saw abundant evidences
all through the country. We saw many
elegant dwellings, some of brick, and the
idea seems to make home comfortable and
attractive. The Prcvost building, just out
side of town, is a beautiful specimen of
architectural skill. And J. N. Byrum—
vou all know Joe—has put a big brick
building on the old homestead. We prom
ised Joe to call as we came by. but found
it impossible to do so. Joe is energetic,
and one of the clevevest Byrums in the
world—which is saying a groat deal. The
farms along both the upper and lower
routes are clean looking and thrifty. Rain
is badly needed. Everybody we conversed
with were enthusiastic in their praises of
tho stock law—including men and women,
and negroes. One gentleman thought i
worth a hundred thousand dollars a year
to the country. It looks strange, how
ever. to one not accustomed to it to see.
the growing crops without enclosures.
We crossed at Brown's Ferry, and met
Luther, who looked as lazy ns a mud tur
tle. which is a sign of an easy conscience.
The wire across the river is vorv conven
ient and precludes all possibility of dan
ger. When we stepped on Georgia's fair
and lovely shore, we looked to see if the
little Palmetto State would rise any. but
it didn't—but we had on our summer
clothing. This is omega.

The third quarterly meeting will be on
hand soon, which will be held at Be
thesda during the district meeting on the
3d Sunday in July.
1 have the Church records for the Cir
cuit. and know exactly the amount paid
the present year to Brother Farris, and
know that amount is very small—less than
usual.
Brother Farris has been afflicted with a
painful wound and confined to his room for
a month. In the meantime Sister Farris
and other members of his family have been
sick. He is not able to go out and procure
the necessities of his family. The Circuit
owes him. and it is the duty of every mem
ber of the Board, as well as each member
of the Church to turn out at once and get
up the amount they can, either in money,
provisions or horse food, and turn it over.
Remember. Brethren, you owe this to
Brother Farris and his family the same as
if they had labored for you in the secular
affairs of life. It is due them, and you
are obliged to acknowledge the justness of
the claim. Brethren, do not neglect this
duty, but come forward at once. Bring
on your money, meat. Hour, corn or oats.
Brother Farris is a modest man. He has
not and will not complain. He would suf
fer first. Hence, it is the more our duty
to see that he is provided for in his afflic
tions.
I shall be absent in Atlanta for some
time to come, and cannot do much in this
matter, but 1 believe you. brethren, when
informed of the pressing duty, will all
take a pleasure in attending to it at once.

We learn from a reliable gentleman that
the temporary obstructions ir> Savannah
river near Augusta, such as seines, traps,
gill-nets and gigs, in the spring, or fishing
season, are equal to the dam in obstruct
ing the passage of migratory fish. If such
is the case, which is not very doubtful, any
change made to the dam to give the fish
better access will be of little effect in ben
etitting fish culture in the upper Savannah.
\V e hope the next Legislature will devise
some plan by which the obst uctions in the
main channel of the river may be removed
and the channel controlled.

On last Saturday a Magistrate convened
his court, sounded a case, called the jury
when a juror was found to be absent. Of
course this did not stop the business. The

After court a couple of attorneys, having
business half a mile above the law ground
went on foot. On the roadside, in the vi
cinity where the court was held before,
they saw a man sitting firmly against a
tree, with a wearied and impatient look,
but brightening up a little he cried out :
“Hello.' gentleman, you’ve had a Dng and

Col. John T. Sloan. Sr., and lady of
Columbia. S. C., have been spending a few
days in our town with relatives. Col.
Sloan was Clerk of tho S. C. House of
Representatives for fonrteen years, until
the Radicals got in power, and lias been
the Clerk ever since the Democrats came
in again. He is very popular, and has
always had tho reputation of being one of
the best officers in tho State. Forty-five
years ago Col. Sloan made us iv present of
the first horseflesh we ever owned, in the
shapaof an Indian ponv. black as a crow,
and about the size of a Newfoundland dog.
Said pony beat every horse, big or little,
that was ever raced against him in pacing.
Our old friend Henry Clark took the pony
to Augusta to get up a race but could find
no one who would pace against him. One
gentleman offered to bet him a hundred
dollars his mule could run fa-ter than the
pony could pace. Henry took the bet and
the mule beat him just a lectlc. But Henry
had his wagon which he loaded up. and in
Roper’s lane, m Abhevillecounty, swapped
horses 17 times, and mnde back the hun
dred dollars. The mud in the lane was
knee deep, and he made a contract with a
negro to pay him 50 cents for untying his
hamestrings when swapping—the negro
earned his money. Henry, some years
after, got religion under old Jimmy Dan
nielly's preaching at Sandy Springs camp
meeting. and thirty years ago we signed
half a scholar to tiie same denomination,
and if we ever have the good luck to meet
the old man in that better land we guess
we will have a laugh over that Augusta
race.

In a certain town a certain preacher was
confined to his bed with sickness. A cer
tain tax-receiver found it necessary to go
to the preacher's house to take in his tax
returns. A certain lawyer agreed to go
with the tax-receiver. On their way to the
house, the lawyer wanted to know if it
would be proper and right to ask the min
ister to have prayers. The lax-receiver
thought it would, lint thought it would be
a delicate task to broach the subject. They
were undecided about tho matter when
they reached the house. After conversing
pleasantly with the sick preacher, the tax
receiver said to him. " SVell. I suppose I
must qualify you before you give in your
returns.” The lawyer did not hear what
the tax-receiver said, and when the preach
er ruixjd his right hand on high, gently
slid down on his knees and buried his face
in his hand, supposing the preacher, was
going to pray. Imagine his feelings when
ho realized that the preacher was giving in
his tax returns. The lawyer now affirms
most solemnly that he just got down on
the floor to find a pin that he dropped.

Tho picnic on the 28th ult. at Brewer's
Mill was quite a success, as is usually the
case. Some of tiie Hart County hoys were
down, ninl seemed to enjoy themselves.
Elbert's disgrace, and almost tragedy
that appeared in the Atlanta Constitution
a lew days since, copied front the Ogle
thorpe Echo, is being discussed to a con
siderable extent. A great many wore at
first impressed with the Idea that it was a
fabricated, story, but investigation proves
the truth of the allair, and about, us was
stated.
Elberton is soon to have another lawyer.
Still they come. She can now boast ol as
strong bar as any town in the State of ils
size. We have some noted for eloquence,
some for consequence, some (or logic, some
lor cuiiiiingncss, and all are in common
noted for their good judgment—of whisky,
of course.
The work around tho courthouse has
been commenced. After it bus been liuiaU,-
ed it will look something like the pedal of
a monument which will add greatly to the
appearance of the public square.
Jim Sanders has a billiard table now at
the Gaffe, which adds greatly to the attrac
tiveness of the place.
A minstrel troupe has been organized.
Huldall, the Hartwell nuisance is pester

We regret to learn of the death of Mrs.
Mary Francis Hardy, wife of J. J. Hardy,
so well known in this county, which occur

She was only 37 years of age. Our sin
cere sympathies go out to the bereaved
husband.

The people of this neighborhood are
about equally divided on the fence question.
As for ourself, we say No Fence. Some
of the lings in this neighborhood are so
poor they have to stand twice in the same
place to make a shadow. Let’s put them
up. then what food we give them won’t be
walked off during the day.
W. A. Sanders took 90 pounds of honey
from his bees recently. Hu is everybody's

J. H. Oliver has a fine school in full
blast, and increasing in numbers every
day. Some of the subscribers are not
doing their duty. Better send on, John
will want the money. John is a good
teacher and a clever boy, and will do his
part all right.
J. G. Chastain complains of having the
best crop of corn and cotton he ever own
ed at this season of the year ; but he says,
" Gosh, at the grass !”
G. It. Davis has adopted the stock law
m part but he says "d—n the stock law.”
James P. Vickery is one of those ener
getic farmers who makes his farm self-sus
taining. lie works his potatoes, tobacco
and garden at 12 o'clock while he is rest
ing; but, like other good people, he has
his faults—he won't take Ins county paper.
Milltown Sabbath School ingoing to have

ings in the skin, invisible except through

unhealthy granulations of the skin, and
imparts to it a healthful clearness, humid

whether attrihuta! to impurities in the ca

the sun and wind. For obstinate scorbutic
complaints, like the itch, salt rheum, and i

quite as effective as Sulphur Baths, for j
such maladies, as well as rheumatism and i
gout. 11 is wondrously healing and sooth

Hurrah, for the Hartwell Railroad I
A Hartsouiau Travels.
Mirter Eoiteii: I eo now-a-dmy* a
feller can't go a hen scratch from home,
but what he has to rite to some newspaper.
I never knowed much about papers till
Tiie llartwku. Sun was started out.
Little Bill Hollin and some others got at
me to take it, and aaid I ought to encour
age the enterprise, ns a county that had no
newsp*|er want worth hell room ; and I
do believe your paper has done a great
deal for the county. 1 paid a visit to El
berton not long atneo —tho first time for
over twenty years. They are mightily ex
cited there over their railroad and appear
to think that will soon be the center of
creation, but yon know. Mr. Editer. that
Hartw ell is just three miles from the (.’en
ter of the Vi or'd. But they are doing a
xmashin' business there, and no mixtako.
I heard 'em talking about establishing a
wooden foundry and a brass and iron tner
chine shop. I heard one crowd talking
about a kanal. 1 couldn't git the hang of
it exactly but I heard 'em say something
about Banoiama. but I think they will find
it harder to git a kanal from there than it
was to git the railroad, and I think they
will have to be rigid lively to get that Pan
crania kanal running in time to take off
this year's crap. 1 heard one man say
they coiild'nt do without a operar house.
I don't know what that is. but s'pose it is
some kind of a warehouse to keep bacon
and sich in. as I heard a nigger say Marso
Tom made a hundred thousand dollars last
winter selling bacon for 5 cents that cost
him 5j cents, and if they had have had an
operar house he could have made a fortune.
I found out one thing, soiuu of the old
solid citizens was mighty oneasy about
vnller fever and colery. which they expect
the kars will fetch in during the summer
months. If you git your Hartwell road
done this fall there will he a good opening
for some speculator to aliip chincapms to
Elherton. I think there is thousands in it.
I have always hcarn that the Elberton
lawyers took tlveir fees every year at Sep
tember term in this county in chiucapins.
When 1 go down thnr agin, I will keep
my eyes, years and mouth open and rite
to you agin. K. iv.
Kill and Stephens Friends Again.
Wnihiiigton Cor. Aujiuta Chronicle.
Your thousands of readers will he pleas
ed to know that there lias been reconcile
ment between Senator Hill and Hon. A.
11. Stephens. A friend of both gentlemen
has, from time to time, conveyed between
the two some very laudatory expressions.
Mr. Stephens has spoken in the most praise
worthy way of Mr. Hill's recent speeches,
and these eulogies were made known to
to that gentleman. Moved by this, Mr.
Hill, the other day. happened to be in the
House, approached Mr. Stephens, shook
him by the hand, and addressed him with
great cordiality—a cordiality that I need
not say, was most warmly returned by Mr.
Stephens. They had not spoken to each
other before in five years, iam satisfied
that no malice meanwhile was borne on
either side, and I know that neither de
sires ever again to disturb this most grati
fying return ol friendship. I believe, too,
that this reconcilement could have been
accomplished long ago, had any man. on
excellent terms with both statesmen, had
the tact to bring it about. As it is, an
humble instrument in tho hands of Provi
dence paved the way for a good action that
speaks louder than words.
