SALUTATORY.
In resuming the publication of the
"Middle Georgian ,” after a suspen
sion of eight years, our mind reverts
to the many startling and painful
events that have occurred within that
period—of happy hopes made deso
late, of loved one’s lost, and the many
occurrences incidental to a bloody
war, and general disarrangement of
our social systems. We look around
us for the many happy ones we were
wont to mingle with, and are but too
painfully reminded of the uncertain
ty of earthly things. Many of our
comrades fill a soldiers grave, others
have sought distant homes—old
things have passed away, and new
ones meet the eye on all sides —the
past eight years have indeed been
eventful.
Although a resident of another
city for the past four years, we have
ever looked upon Griffin with affec
tion, and have felt an interest in her
welfare which has culminated in our
return to make it our home for the
future.
In the publication of the “ Middle
Georgian” we shall endeavor to
give entire satisfaction to the com
munity—our success in the publica
tion, for four years, of one of the best
papers in the State, (the Macon
Daily Journal and Messenger) render
it useless for us to map out our
future, in regard to this paper ; it is
only neccessary for us to say that we
shall consider the interest of our
community and State, as paramount
to all other considerations, and shall
publish a paper that will be a credit
to our city as well as ourself.
-The -fiddle Georgian” was sus
pended, in November of 1861, while
we were in the army. It was then
in its second volume, and we take
up where we left off, and continue
from Volume 2, No. 33.
Since our former residence in Grif
fin, many improvements have taken
place in the city and many citizens
heretofore unknown to us, have be
come settled. With the majority of
the community, we are as familiar as
“Household words,” and those whom
we do not know, we shall take an
early opportunity of cultivating—to
old and new, we extend the courtesy
of our office and reading room.
Apology. —We have to beg the
reader of this issue to consider our
troubles, as some excuse for a not
very interesting paper. Some of our
r jading matter has been in type two
weeks —and all of it has been selec
ted without that care necessary. The
unaccountable delay in receiving our
material, (it being on the route six
teen days) has put us out of humor
somewhat, as well as annoyed our
friends who have been waiting for us.
We hope that they, as well as our
self, will be in better humor, now that
we are moving along. Our issues
will be regular on Tuesdays and
Fridays. We labor underjsome dis
advantages in this issue that will be
surmounted in our next.
To Ouit Friends. —We desire
our friends throughout the country to
exert themselves at once in our behalf
and increase our subscription list—let
them make up a club in every neigh
borhood. The person making a club
of ten receives the paper gratuitous
ly. Where there is no postoffice, have
it understood among subscribers that
they come after them, one succeeding
another until all have contributed—
by this means a party of ten or
twenty would not visit town more
than was agreeable Or profitable—the
j»aper s can be left At some point con
venient iu the neighborhood, where
•bey can be had at any time.
Oun Paper,'—We send our paper
thisyeek to / good many persons
wh© are nAt subscribers. If they
like it, they can call and subscribe—
otherwise it will uot be continued.
The Lam> we Love. —The Land
fc’cLovo for FtSmiary contains seven-
B‘cn articles of unusual merit. The
Jradcr is from that old hero, Gen.Ju
r*>al Early. “Concentrative Immigra
tion s 'is a powerful article on a most
important subject. “Women and the
Liver of Women” is an eloquent re
buke of the misrepresentations of the
hcx, by a Missouri authored of repu
tation! Besides this, there an histor
ical and biographical sketches, orni
thology, fiction and poetry. The poet
ry i* by Mrs. Downing, "Mrs. Weiss,
(formerly, Miss Susan Archer Talley,)
and J. .Nugn-tine Signaigo.
What Next? —The Sav. Repub
lican pertinently remarks that we get
something now from Atlanta almost
daily —that is something that lias
never occurred in our history as a
State. The atmosphere of the pres
ent capital seems to have turned
back the current of official sentiment
and thrown it into anew channel.
The Governor is charged by the
Treasurer with usurpation and a
misuse of the public money, a com
mittee of the Legislature is appointed
to investigate the charge, and among
their first acts is a “card to the
public,” asking it to suspend its opin
ion with regard to the guilt of the
accused, thus making themselves the
champions and advocates of the man
whose conduct they are to pass upon!
Who will say that this is not some
thing new under the sun? After
such a demonstration of partiality,
who can have any rsepect for the
committee’s report after it shall have
been made? To say the least, such
conduct on the part of the committee
is* unbecoming and reprehensible.
The House, as a matter of respect to
itself, should revoke their appoint
ment and create anew comrnitte that
is not predisposed to whitewash of
fenders.
A Fact which Cannot be Long
Ignored. —Senator Trumbull, in hi?
minority report on the case of Joshua
Hill, concludes with an appeal to
wholesome fears of future retribution.
He says it “will not do to ignore the
existence of the po'werf ul political par
ty that lost the last great eleciion,”
and adds:
“A few years hence they may, by
a revolution of power, be in the as
cendancy, and, following the example
sought to be established in the case
of this Georgia Senator, there would
be no inconsistency in their rejecting
the Senators from Illinois or any oth
er State whose political affiliations
were not in harmony with their own.”
The Radicals owe their lease of life
to the personal strength to Gen.
Grant—the impracticability of the
Democrats, who threw away success
—negro enfranchisement and the
wholesale disfranchisement of the
whites. Failing in either of these,they
would have gone under, and .unless
Gen. Grant’s administration shall se
cure a reorganization of parties, the
Radicals, four years hence, will go
under and never more control the
Government. Can Radicals, there
fore, trample upon law, equity and
the Constitution to perpetuate fla
grant wrong, and expect to shield
themselves under law and Constitu
tion from the action of summary
remedies ? Nay, verily. Whatsoev
er measure ye mete it shall be meas
ured out to you again. The fight
against reason, common sense, the
dictates of lav/, is, after all, an une
qual one. It cannot long be victori
ous, and the measure and character
of redress which follow the final de
feat will be determined by the vio
lence of the wrongs perpetrated.—•
Macon Telegraph.
Crop Preparations in North
Georgia. —The Cartersville Express
says, “never before in the history of
this country, were our farmers more
ndustriously engaged, in arranging
and making preparations for crop,
than at the present. Every foot of
cleared land that will pay to culti
vate, is being brought into requisi
tion, and with a hearty good will,
resolute spirit, and steady aim, they
have gone to work preparing the soil
for the reception of seed. The wheat
crop is already planted, which, we
hope, with propitious reasons, will be
ample.”
Fire at the Asylum.—ThcMil
ledgeville Federal Union says that on
Thursday last the building for the col.
ored insane was set on fire by one of
the inmates —a colored female. She
found Her way to attic and kindled a
fire and the roof was soon in a blaze.
It was, fortunately, discovered as
soon as it made its appearance
through the roof, and by the calm
and prompt action of a number of the
officers of the institution, was soon ex
tinguished. The damage was slight
(about twelve feet of the roof being
burned,) and has been repaired.
London, Feb. 6.—Johnson’s treaty,

PRESENTMENTS
OP grand jury for Ist week, febkua.
RY TERM, 1869.
We, the Grand Jurors selected, chosen
and sworn for the ilrst week, February
Term 1869, in bringing our labors to a
close, beg leave to make the following
general Presentments. We have great
reasons to thank Him who controls the
destinies of men, for the many blessings
conferred on us, as a people, in that lie
has showered his blessings upon us
without stint, our lands and fields have
smiled in the past season, with their
prolific productions for the sustenance
of both man and beast, He has also
blessed us as a community with reason
able portion of good health, all of which
should humble us as a people, and fill
our hearts with gratitude to him who is
the author of every good and perfect
gift.
We have appointed W'm. M. Cline and
Joseph C. Little a committee to examine
the Records of the various officers of the
county and report to the Grand Jury at
the August Term, ISG9, the true con
dition of the monetary affairs of this
county, and we pray his Honor Judge
Green, to endorse this recommendation.
We have examined the public building
and find the Court House in a leakev
condition and recommend its im
mediate repair. The Jail building
and fence is in fair condition. The
roads in some parts oftlie county,
are in good condition, in other por
tions they are in bad order, and
the road hands refuse to work them.—
We hope the proper authorities will take
such steps as may be necessary to have
the roads in these sections, put in good
condition. We also recommend the Or
dinary to use his utmost diligence and
economy' in the Poor Housee enterprise
that the people of the county may be
satisfied of Us utility.
In taking leave of his Honor, James
W. Green, we return to him our thanks
for the able manner he has presided at
I tbe present term. A'so to the Solicitor
,L. Is. Anderson, for his courtesy and ali
bi lity to the Jurors.
