HOW TIMES CHANGE.
In looking upsomevalubles stowed
away found that they had been wrap
peo up m an issue of the Savannah
Morning News dated October 30th,
1869, nearly. 19 years ago. How full
of events those years have been, of
sun shine and shadows, joys and sor
rows and darkness and light. Gian
cing over the well preserved sheet it i
appears that Bullock, some times cal
led “Governor,” had retired to his
home in Albion, N. Y., and it does
not appear whether he took with him
the “state excursion coach,” but he
certainly went in hot haste for the
good of all. Gen. Grant was then
president of the United States and
! infested
south vva and overrun
by a hoard of carpet-baggers, scalla
vvags and thieves unparaielled in bn
tory. But some light ' began to dawn

j I convention . held , , at St. 0 T Louis . with . . the .
' hope of removing the national capiti 1
from Washington to that city. Like
many other good projects it failed.
The address was able, argumentative
and convincing. Fx Pjesident John¬
son was defeated by 4 votes for Uni
ted States senator from Tennessee.
The gold ring of that day was the
hugest baud in the world’s history
and if relief had not come utter ruin
would have followed,
! In this year the Stmz canal was
fjrmally opened to commerce ot the
world and has become the highway
: of nations. Cotton, the great staple,
was worth in 1869 frum 23^- to 25
cents per pound and brisk sales.
1 ’ lorida long cotton from 35 cents
A Florida correspondent complains of
this very low price. Bacon was worth ,
from i8£ to 19 cents, pork 34 10 35
! dollars per barrel; guano 65 to 70
j dollars per ion; corn $1.25 to $1.35
per bushel; flour from $8 to $10 per
barrel. What would farmers now say
to these prices. Doubtless they
would not object to the price of cot
ton, but how about meat, corn, flour
and guano? Human nature is a rid
d ] e a t best and can only be solved
by the rule of mire and thine,
How valuable is the newspaper
and how vividly it brings to memory
many things long forgotten.
