Th- President's message to cougres is
just about what we might expect from a
weak man in the hands of unscrupulous
politicians. The most prominent feat
ure about it, is that it bristles with ba
ll < d to tiie South.
The building boom is not confined to
town a!o >e. it spreads all over the
countv. New buildings are to be seen
going up every where you go. and the
saw mills are kept running at their ut
most capacity to supply lumber.
The vagrant laws of Georgia ought to
be rigidly 7 enforced against the horde of
tramps that are pouring into the State
to beg and steal during ttie winter. It
is no charity to feed these worthless
creatures, it is only encouraging a mode
of vagrancy that has become as much u
profession as law or medicine.
In consequence of Governor Lee's state
ment that one hundred million dollars
came into Virginia during his adminis
tration, the representatives of the for
eign bondholders in Richmond have
been in communication with their princi
pals with the view of attempting to get
them to send another commission to
Richmond to settle the debt. Sir Ed
ward Thornton was the last commission
er who made the attempt.-Atlanta Jour
nal.
No victorious Chieftain ever received
from those who followed him to victory.
Such evidences of lasting devotion as has
been lavished bv the Southern people
upon their chief the late Jefferson Da
vis. The memorial services held in
Americus yesterday in his honor was
largely attended. Bishop Beckwith
opened with prayer and addresses were
delivered by Cols. Cutts and Guerv, and
ltevs Campbell and Hays, and to-day al
most every city, town, and hamlet in
the South is in mourning for the defeat
ed ami disfranchised leader of a cause
that was lost and crushed
Mr. Charles B. Teel is not a very 7 large
man, but he has a heart in his bosom as
big as a mu Ip. Last Tuesday night as
be sat cosily around bis hearthstone
resting from bis day’s labor he heard a
b dated lumber hauler stalled in Toteover
creek, about a quarter of a mile from bis
home. He did not go to bed and rest
himself, as many a man would have
done, and leave the lumber hauler to get
out the best he could, but he hurried to
the creek, waded right in, helped the
fellow, who was a perfect stranger, to
throw off his lumber, fix up bis wagon
and thon load up again and get out
the creek. The good Samaritan could
have done no more.
Americus Recorder:—The entire atten
tention of Judge Smith, of the
Court, was taken up yesterday in hear
the arguments of the attorneys in
Suit filed by Hon. Allen Fort, and oth
ers against the S. A. M. railroad,
for an order from the court
the road from crossing Jackson street.
The Judge decided the claim of the
company exemption from d mages
adjacent property, against them,
held them liable.
Judge Smith granted an order restrict
ing the S. A. M. road Irom crossing
street until the further order of the
court. He criticized in unequivocal lan
guage the action of the road in
at night, and their failure to
damages to adjacent property owners.
While in Americus a few days since
we were attracted to the public square
by a band of music and a long haired
individual mounted on a platform har
rangueing a crowd of negroes. Idle cu
riositv prompted 11 s to go up near tl»e
platform, when lo and behold we dis
covered the long haired medicine vendor
to be no other than our old friend
Huertas of Florida, he has dyed his
Ii 1 ir blonde and assuming the title of
of Dr Leo and adopting the methods of
Yellow Stone Kit was busy selling the
negroes a nostrum to straighten their
hair cure all their ills and do everything
e se that nature has failed to do for them.
To hear him expatiate on his knowledge
of medicine and his studies in Europe
quite . . to who , , has
was amusing a man
known him for years in Honda and
knows positively that he has no more
knowledge of medicine than a hog has
of immortality. But he was scooping in
the dollars all the same; every ignorant
darkey it who could raise a dollar handed
in and took a bottle of the stuff. It is
no wonder that the negroes ot the South
are poor, the only ail. wonder is that they
manage to live at
PROTECT EMALE VIRTUE.
It is the duty of the press to uphold
the law s, aid the oppressed, sustain mor
al institutions and protect the innocent.
It is also incumbent on the press to scorn
and cry down immorality, expose those
who violate law, and defy public senti
ment with open shame and lascivious
wickedness. Southern chivalry is inter
: national in it reputation. The people of
other countries know the South as one
particular spot in the world where the
greatest homage is paid to woman, and
where her honor is protected by t e ex
pense of life The North and the South
are very different in ibis respect, as every 7
well-informed man knows. Up there if
a woman is prostituted by a wanton
man. they want the wound healed with
dollars. In other words they are satis
lied with money, and that settles it. In
the South, if one man goes into the hap
py home of another, and blights that
happiness, the father, orother or some
other male member of the family gets a
double barrel! shotgun and goes for him
and that settles it, A jury could not be
found m the whole South who would
render a verdict <>I murder in a case
where a man gets revenge out of another
by filling his hide full of hot lead, as
was the case in an Alabama town a few
weeks ago. It is a sort of unwritten
law; it is < rysfalized public sentiment.
Nothing has or ever will over-ride it. A
libertine whe deliberately blackens the
soul of a once virt uous woman, deserves
the scorn an i contumely of all decent
p opie. In some communities the
• White Caps,” under the cover of dark
ness and secrecy warn such people that
it is not healthy to keep up such behav
ior. It is well that it is so in our blessed
Sunny South, as no people in the wide
world have the same veneration and re
spect for woman and virtue as the true
hearted Southerner. May it ever remain
so as long time lasts.-Montezuma Record.
PANEGYRIC ON OUR PRESIDENT.
BY KIT WARREN.
Ben Harrison, my Bo Ben,
You are the president,
But no one would suspect it. Ben,
By judging your juig ment,
For you're a cypher, Benjamin,
(I sigh, for this is so,)
An aught that ought to stand for naught,
Ben Harrison, my Bo.
Ben Harrison, my Bo Ben,
Your message is a mess,
With nothing of the sage, Ben,
In what it doth express,
That you're no sweetheart of the scuth,
It does expressly show,
It’s no love letter much to us,
Ben Harrison, my Bo.
Upon the nigger's wrongs, Ben.
You ‘day on”—brave McDuff—,
Lay on a most inodorous heap
Of old and effete stuff;
And all the rest's akin to that,
Weak, sterile, dull and slow;
Come, scratch your bead and try again,
Ben Harrison, my Bo,
Ben Harrison, my Bo Ben.
When you were first elect
We had as good a government
As mortal could expect.
Now it doth gang aglee, Ben,
But not cum ammo
It hath a weakness in the head,
Ben Harrison, my Bo,
Ben Harrison, my Bo Ben,
You're soft arid mushy clay.
That's moulded by your potters. Ben,
To their sweet will and way.
They rule you like centurions, Ben,
They make you come and go,
You passive, parrot President,
Ben Harrison, my Bo.
Ben Harrison, my Bo Ben,
You've mounted pretty high,
A mouse upon a mountain top,
A sparrow in the sky;
Soon you maun totter down, Ben,
But hand in hand you’ll go
With your descending parly gang,
Ben Harrison, my Bo.
Ben Harrison, my Bo Ben,
I toss a kiss—bye-bye.
You are my ripe pomonal fruit.
The apple of my eve
For though you’re weak and cross, Ben,
Tis Fate hath made you so.
And l will love you none the less,
Ben Harrison, my Bo.
