TIIE DEMOCRAT. V . D. RULLIVAX. j Editors. ( J.AREXCE STEPIIENS. FRIDAY, FEBRUARY, 16, 1877. ■ ■ —■ ■ » ■■ ii . — TO THU PI Bl.lt . To-<lay we issue the first number of Tiik DffMorRAT. and ask for it a kind reception. While we have few promises to make, we deem it nothing more than justice to indicate to our patrons the course we shall pursue in the conduct of our columns. Our name sufficiently discovers our politic*- bom and educa¬ ted ii, tii«- Democratic faith, The I)em<> < rat will ever Is* found in the ranks of those who are battling under the ban¬ ner of the old Jefiersonian doctrine, and we shall use whatever influence and power we may j<o&M‘SH or acquire to stop or stay the monster Radicalism in Its attcifipts to drltaucff idTr govehunent and ruin our country. For the past si, tren years we have watched the progress of the dominant party towards central izntiou, and trembled for the cause of < ivil LiU-rty. Tim profligate purmed by the Radical party from the moment it wized iiism the government lias filled the land with oppmsion n!i« <1 and rum, and to-day are attempt ing, with every prosed of succass, to perpetrate the most stupeuduoua fraud nnd usurpation ever conceived - against the rights and liberties of a civilised people. It lieintr our mission to oniw and do battle against these Powers of Darkness, may we not confid.ntly ex pect the cordiul countenance and sup l<>rt of every true lover of his country y In our opinion* upon the great pie#, lions of the day, which must mine be fore us, we cauoot expect to l>e always correct (hat would be more than l,u. man. But we will promise to lie as cor rect as jswisible, and “to write naught in malice.” ‘ i fn our local associations, we shall avoid censure except when the rights or moral interest of the public make it nec¬ essary to do so, then we will spare not. We have never >«;Ileved that private actions, or even faults, nol affecting tho public, should l>o allowed a place in the columns of a newspaper, and shall, therefore, avoid it. We shall hold True Democrat up to the highest moral standard of jounmlisui, and do our beat to make it a welcome visitor to the fire sides and family circles of our people. In conclusion, wo beg to return our sincere thanks for the many kindnesses and the generous patronage we have al¬ ready received, and hope in the future to merit the good opinion and support of the people with whom our Interests have now become fully and iwmnnently tified. W. I). SULLIVAN, CLARENCE STEPHENS. San Francisco Opium Den. Describing the Chinamen and haunts in San Francisco, the ltulUtin that city gives the following account one of their opium dens, and (lie of smoking the drug: A first class opium den is lilted with a table about eight feet long and foet. wide, and a Unit two and feet high. I his is covered with mat ting, and fine mats are placed over this. In the mitre of the table is a tray con taining opium, opium pipes and a liarly shajied lamp which bas a small ilame. The opium pipe is made of mahogany or ebony wood.’ The stem is shout throe-q uni era of an inch in <11 ameter, and about two f<>«t in length.— A hole about half an inch in diameter runs tho whole length of (he stem.— About six inches from the end of the stem is tho latwl of the pipe. It is made of a peculiar kind of sand and clay in China, and is very hard amt fire-proof.— The bowl ia about two inches in diaine ter. Tho top of tho bowl is entirely closed except a small hole in the centre about the size of a large darning needle, In the bottom is a hole about an inch in diameter into which is inserted a brass coupling, connecting with the stem of the pij»e. The opium is kept in' a small box made of horn. Every Chi unman carries one. 'When a person sires to smoke opium, lie reclines upon the table upon one side. With a piece °f s U''l nlxuit the length and size of a common knittingneedle, and shari> pointml, a little of the opium is taken from the box. It is held over the blaze of the lam*> until it is thoroughly cooked, Tho piece of steel is kept in motion all the time, and the opium, cooked, is formed into the shape of small pistol cartridge. The poikt of steel needle is then inserted into small hole in the centre of the bowl Ihe Pipe, and gently drawn through cartridge of opium. The smoker turns the bowl of the pipe to the of the lamp, reposes op ;i wooden and smokes, lie gently draws in breath in k>ng and rapid lie must bo careful, however, to remove his lij>s from the stem ot pipe when taking breath. If lie slightly breathe into the stem of pipe it stops the flow ofj the When the flow is stopped, the pointed steel is used to open the hole in the bowl of the pipe. It about three minutes to prepare opium for the* pipe, and about one smoke it out. ten or twelve whiffs only Icing required. From six to twelve pipefuUs are generally smoked liefore the smoker is satisfied. A little over a ycar ago a great many white of both sexes patronized the opium dene.— Tlie Board of Supervisor! dwmd it best to put a cheek upon the growing evil, and a stringent law was passed making It a penalty of not less than 150, nor more than 2500 for the keeper of any opium den to allow any white person to smoke in the place. It was also made a criminal act for any white person to be found in an opium den, the line l*mg fixed at not leas than 250. Since the passage of this law the dens drive a less lucrative business. Tbeir customers are all Chinese, two generally occupying one table and using one lamp. The Chinese resort to to opium smoking for any slight ailment, and it is regarded by many of them as a panacea for all their ills.” [Communicated.] Letter from DeKalb. ■ DeawDrmocbAT : As nothing has ap Reared in r^ur columns from Uiis part of our SUL- I will take advantage of this , «»»« weather (we have had three pretty day* In the past two months) to send you a line. I had about concluded that the returning boards had had aomething to do with the order of things in this also, and h«d counted m out of be “Sunny and Into Nova • ol * a » Greenland, or some other frost bitten” clime,but as there has returned a gleam of sunshine to the hill-tops, sup- 1*°**“ the clerk of the weather merely in tended to “bulldoie” us. Iseeitstated in several of the papers, that this has »*en the severest winter we have had in twenty years, hut there is an old gentle *nan in my neighborhood who is 76 years old, who says, “by the gods,” it beats anything he ever saw. The planters have Just commenced work, as it was impossible to do anything during the w'ero cold weather we have had except to build fires and warm one side at a protection against tho sleet and snow they are probably frozen out. Unlesssome future evil happens to cut It off, we will make a good crop. But the devil has alsrut five months yet in which to hatch out a thousand and one things to cut it off, and there may yet he a total failure. T,l<> ,,at cro l’ s In the fall, have gone the spout”—all dead. They dii-d bard—frozen to death, «™,7£ year, and there will be little buying of the essentials of life in these parts this year from city merchants, at 75 per cent— This It must be admitted Is a long stride along the road to idcpendence, and U is easy to foresee that if our farmers con well, and it will soon I* imposa count them in debt. Well, the legislature 1ms elected Ben. llill to the 1J. 8. Senate for six years, and he and Jim ltlain have shaken hands over it—and “that do settle it.” J | I do wonder if thaw who voted for liiln can toll what he will 1* iu the next six months, or on what political line he may U> found. Mr. Hill’s political policy is 1 said by some to l*e “apoliticalmystery, but 1 doubt most capitally whether he lias any policy except the interests, ag grandfzement and advancement of his own selfish purposes and aims. He has ’ been “an earnest seeker” after office for (Io ! these many years, lias been of every I political shade, belonged to all parties, advocated and condemned by turns eve ry political principle—and reduced polit leal “log rolling” to a science. The Legislature—“the assembled wisdom of Georgia”—has certainly now committed the crowning folly, aiul I hope the “Empire State of the South” may not 1 i i the future suffer for this act of her sworn servants (?), or their own cheeks tingle with shame when it is called to ' mind. * We have in our midst a tunnlier of churches aiul goexl schools, but 1 am afraid our people are not giving religion the earnest attention it should receive. But 1 suppose we will have to wait till “the waters are troubled” for a greater i development of zeal on this subject, I see by the McDuffie Journal that Dr. j J. S. Jones, of your county, has written an article on “Fish Culture.” The doc tor has certainly fallen into error in one point in his plan, as all fishermen of ob serration and experience know that : when large trout are placed in a pond, all other kinds of fishes soon disappear. ; The trout is one of the most voracious fishes known to our waters, and monster as he is, will destroy whole broods of small fish to satisfy his gluttonous appe tite. For this reason it is difficult to raise large numbers of any siieeies of fish within the confined limits of tic fish ponds, Iu large lakes or rivers it is quite a different thing altogether. as there the smaller fry have room to get out of the way, and grass to hide in. The bream and other kinds of perch also feed on their own species, and it is owing to this reason more, perhaps, than «»)' or all others that fish raising is dilfi suit in domestic jxinds. Maj. II. D. I.eitner, of Berzelia, Columbia county, a gentleman of superior intelligence, could no doubt enlighten us on this sub jeet, as he has had many ijad years experi enee iu the business, aud the finest ponds I evar saw, SfBlPSI. ___ Mr. Wiley Powers, who was shot ' Centreyilte last week by Shearer, one account of which appeared in the Jgcfio, died of hjs wound' Oli Sunday night last, ' at 9:30o’clock, ” .
