I'OMJ.NKI. HARDEMAN s LIKE.
Colonel Hardeman was born in
J'ulmim county IIfly-six years ago,
was graduated at Kmory College
in I s ir,, and read law in the olliee
of Judge It. V. Hardeman,at Clin
ton, with whom he formed a co-
pmiuer.-hip, being admitted to the
liar in 1817. Colonel Hardeman's
I'ui her,moved Irom I'utiiam county
to Maenn in 183li. in ISIS lie
married .Miss Jane liiimsden, of
I'utnam county. After a short
residence in Clinton, lie moved lo
Macon, and in 1351 ho was elected
to the legislature from Hibb coun
ty, and served for several terms as
an old line whig until that party
went to pclees in 1855, anil as a
member of the union party until
18.V.I, when he was elected to con
gress from tlie third Georgia dis
trict as a member of tlie American
party, and served until tlie state
seceded. He defeated lion. Alex
ander M. Speer. When the war
came on lie entered it us the Cap
tain of the Floyd ltiiles, and when
Unit company went to Norfolk and
was formed into a battalion, he
was elected major, lie stayed at
Norfolk for a year, and when his
battalion was disbanded, lie was
elected colonel of tlie Forty-filth
Georgia, and was wounded at the
battle of Cold Harbor, being shot
through tlie lung and thigh. He
was forced to resign, being dis
abled, and was subsequently ap
pointed an adjutant general on
Giistavns W. Smith’s stair, a posi
tion which lie held until tlie close
.of tin- war. Since the war lie has
I been in the cotton commission bus
iness at Macon, as a member of the
! firm of Hardeman A Sparks, lie
i was in the Legislature and was
! speaker of the House during tlm
j administration of Gov. Jenkins;
j was a candidate for Governor in
I 1373, but withdrew in favor of
; Governor Colquitt. His name lias
been associated with tlie governor-
! slop for several years. He is a man
of line physique and a gentleman
of wide personal Accqiiaintance.
dor wlto lias served two terms in
! tlie Michigan l.egislutnre, held a
; Federal olliee of some prominence
1 in tlie Slate and been famous as a
i politician in the Republican party.
After we had walked around for
an hour, I asked:
"Now, then, what do you think
of these people ? You have scon
them witli their coals olf and you
can judge them as they are.”
“ I toll you i am ashamed of my
self!”— was t.iie instant reply.
“When 1 think lio'w we have lied
about them and their institutions 1
I nnr ashamed to look them in the i
face.”
“Have they treated you well ?” j
“Splendidly.”
“And they knew you were from
the Xortli /”
“Yes.”
“And that you wore a slrng Re
publican 7”
" Yes.”
“And what do voii think of the
darky?”
“I>—n him, sir, d—n him!”
was his Hourly exclamation. “We
wouldn’t stand the half from him
that tlie South docs. He is lazy,
shiftless, thievish, and u general
nuisance. I've talked With a score
of 'em, and they ars as ignorant as
our horses. They vote my ticket,
but they can’t tell me why. They
Imvo no reason, no argument, no
principle, and so little sence that I
wonder how they get through tlie
w.n-k.”
“And when you return home
you'll do the South justice?”
“How ?”
“ Why, you’ll talk to your party
members just us you have talked
lo me ?”
“N—o, I can’t do that,” lie slow
ly answered. “If I should go back
and tell ’em exactly how tilings arc
I—<1, I—d—”
“You'd lose your grip?”
“Fxaetly.”
“And to keep your grip you
must continue to lie about, abuse
nml malign the people who lg}ve
taken you to their dinner-tallies
and Giow you every possible kind
ness and courtesy ! You must
continue lo claim that they don't
give tlie black man a fair show,
when you know better! You must
continue to call them rebels, when
von sec every Federal law iinpliui-
ty obeyed, and everybody content
ed and happy? Colonel, polities
is a nasty business.”
“Cuss politics!” lie growled, as
ho left me at tlie corner.

Mr. W. 1>. Johnson, or 1,ee
county, Ala., was in the city yes
terday for the purpose ol deliver
ing so.no oats which he Imd sold,
lift crop of oats this year is about
2,100 bushels, the price of which,
at this time, is about 50 cents per
bushel. In tlie fall and winter they
will he much higher. At present
prices his oat cron will bring $1,-
050: later lie could sell it for over
*1.500.
On tlie same land where lie grew
his oats lie planted cotton last
year. Tlie gross receipts of tlie
entire crop of cotton, raised on
identically tlie same land, brought
him $305. Tho preparation of tlie
land, cultivation of the plant,gath
ering of tho cotton, preparing it for
the "market, cost him about ten
times more than the labor ior mak
ing Ids grain, and yet lie makes
nearly five times as much on tlie
oats as on the cotton crop. If lie
is not convinced that it pays t4>
raise grain, then indeed must lie be
a hard one to convince. Olliers
might profit by his experience.—

To a Young Alan.
My son, when you hear a man
growling and scolding because
Moody gets $200 a week for
preaching Christianity you will
perceive that lie never worries lie-
cause Ingersoll gets $200 a night
for preaching Atheism. You will
observe that tlie man who is unutter
ably shocked because Francis Mur
phy is paid $150 a week for tem
perance work seems to think it is
all right when the barkeeper takes
in twice ns much inonoy in a sin
gle day. Tho laborer is worthy of
his hire, my boy, and liu is just as
worthy of it in the pii.plt ns lie is
upon tlie stump. Is tlie man who
is honestly trying to save your im
mortal soul worth less than the man
who is trying Ills level best to go
to Congress? Isn’t Moody doing
ns good work as Ingersoll? Isn’t
John H. Gough ns much tlie friend
of humanity and society ns tlie
bartender? I)o you want to get
all tlie good in tlie world for noth
ing, sc Hint you uuy be able to pay
a good price for the bad? Remem
ber, my boy, the good tilings in
tlie world arc always tlie cheapest.
Spring water costs less than corn
whisky; n box of eignrs will buy
two or three Hiblcs; a gallon of old
brandy costs more than n barrel of
Hour; a “full hand" at poker often
costs a man more in twenty min
utes than his church subscription
amounts lo in three years; n State
election costs more Ilian a revival
of religion; you can sleep in church
every Sunday morning for nothing,
if you arc mean enough to dead
beat your lodging in that way,but
in a Cullman car it costs you $2
every time; fifty cents for the cir
cus and a penny for tlie little ones
to put into tho missionary box;
one dollar for the theatre and a
pair of old breeches, frayed at tho
end, baggy us to tlie knees, and
utterly bursted ns to the dome, for
the Michigan suflerors; the danc
ing lady who tries to wear her
skirts under her arms and the
waists around her knees and kicks
lmr slipper clear over tlie orchestra
chairs every night gets $000 a
week, and tho city missionary gets
$500 a year; the horse race scoops
in $2,000 tlie first day and Hie
church fair lasts a week, works
twenty or thirty- of the best women
iu America to dentil, and comes
out $40 behind—why, my lioy, if
you ever find yourself sneering or
seolllng because once in a while
you hear of a preacher getting a
living, or even a luxurious salary,
or a temperance worker making
money, go out in tlie dark and feel
ashamed of yourself, and if you
don't feel above kicking a mean
man, kick yourself. I’rcoions lit
tle does religion and charity cost
tlie old world, my hoy, and when
the money it does get is liu^g in
to its fane, like n bone to adog,tlio
doner is not licnollttcd by tlie gift,
and tlie receiver is not, and cer
tainly should not lie grateful. It
is insulted.— Jlurlir.gton llaickeye.
