Fraternity and Uuion.
The more we read add reflect upon the
situation as viewed io the light of the recent
discussion in the House of Representatives,
the more fii mly are we convinced that per
fect anion and fraternity between the South
and the North is a long way off True,
there are ticnps when the aspect of affairs
•i.couriers hope; there are periods wheo
hope becomes strong; but just then some
bone of contention is held out ami all at once
tbeold ieraes come up, and rhe liniug to the
cloud becomes of a gloomy blackness.
The late discussion over the appropriation
bihe opeus ail the votes ol the past. It not
oulf opens them, bat irritates and chafes
them to an extent that bodes no good for
our common country. lu former times,
wheo saciinßul strife rose like a tornado, and
threatened the very Government, there waa
alwaya some Moses nr Joshua ready 'a lead
the way to a peaceable solution of all d ffi
cullies Tbt> pet il bud only to be felt, the
crisis to come, aud tbro t-oute great leader
woald appear able and willing to calm the
stoim and quiet tbe public mind. Bui al
though there are now able statesmen in tbe
national councils, there is not one wbo is
willing to adopt tbe role of peacemaker.
Tbe task ia too huge To step into the
"bloody chasm” and endeavor to clasp tbe
shore on either side, might imperil the popu
larity af the most potent man. It might
shatter bis hopes and “knock into a cocked
bat" all his aspirations. And why? Simply
bscanse tbe sections are involved in a wran
gle over or under a blind misunderstanding
of the true facts. The North—bloated with
wealth and puffed up with the wretched idea
that they alone should carry ou the Govern
ment— the South, determin'd to have u finger
m the pie, and a fair slice ol the pie itself—
will remain obstinate and unyielding.
And this ia the attitude just now. Two
mighty athletes, stripped for the fight—and
where will it terminate? It is doubtful
where, even to the most discerning mind;
for, goaded to a point from which there Is
uo retreat, the South is determined to sta d
firm us the hills in asserting her rights. If
a tew of the Eastern Stutes could be anchor
ed midway the Allautic Ocean, and then
girdled with unending storms, there might
be fewer causes of atrife. But so long as
men are sent ta Congress lor the avowed
purpose of abusing the Southern people and
their institutions, and of taunting them with
tbut most dumrmble ol all taunts, tbe “rebel
lion," just so long will peace be far off ; so
long aa tb s goes on, peace can never oe had.
VY e arc one people. The same laws gov
ern all. ‘I he same flag flouts over all; aud
yet we are not houiogeueous, not united.
Faoaticism puts tbe North in it* offensive
position, while the South stands tauulu'ly
on tbe defensive. Truly, the traditions of
the past—all the treasured oracles of by
gone veurs. all the ussociate glory of tbe
days of dur forefathers, all the memories that
cluster atouud '1 teuton and Yoiktown—must
be swallowed up iu the terrible billows o,
part.zun hate il they tail to draw together
the good people ot all the sections—from the
rugged slopes ol Maine to the Everglade*—
(torn the grien hills ol Vermont to the Occi
dent. Yea, indeed, we are one people, and
yet »o divided thut there is no community ol
feeling among us. Let us wait and hope
Perhaps from all this something muy come
to cheer and unite.
“Let us have peace.”
General Hawley. — Here is one lively
little paragraph from a recent letter of ‘‘A.
W R in the 7 etegrnph anil Messenger :
The Radical champion was Gen Hawley,
of Connecticut, whose generous sentiments
and honeyed words lor the South and her
people were so sweet in our ears at the State
Fair io 1875. 1 heard bulb speeches, and
had to take a second look to see it it was
the same man. Hawley in Gcoigia, begging
Georgia aid to make the t\ntennial Impo
sition. of which he was President,succeasiul,
and Hawley, the partisan, his heart lull of
venom, and his lips dripping gall and slan
dvr, could hardly be recogniz d as the same
person, llis speech Was as loathsomely
malicious utd insulting as it was false and
cowardly, and he went down as deeply into
the mud and fillh or Radical mendacity and
venom as the veriest drab on that side. It
would have done discredit eveu to Cocger,
Harry White, Raker of Indiana, Williams
of Wisconsin, or a half diz n more 1 could
name.
This man Hawley came to Macon a few
years since, and was the recipient of many
courtesies from ocr people. Now, be repays
them with siauder, vituperation and abuse.
When wilt our people quit binding tbe
pliant knee to these treacherous Yankees T
Tub “Celle* Prasem”—The Missouri
negroes are emigrating by platoons to Kan
sas, and Fred Douglass, wbo may be culled
tbe great Sir Oracle of the colored race,
gives it as bis opinion that “this exodus will
not be beneficial to ibem.” He is not alone
in this belief. 'I bis exodus in years gone by
generally resulted in a decrease of tbe color
ed race, as almost every tiee aloug tbe bor
der was ornamented with them. It was
heavy on tbe trees, and the umonnt of rope
required was immense. But now they cuu
vote, and it may be different. Time will
show.
Tbk discovery of coal iu tbe neighborhood
of Gadsden, ou the Coosa liver, is attract
ing much attention. Many capitalists are
visiting that section for tbe purpose of lock
ing into tbe mutter. There is a fair pros
pect that furnaces will be pul iu operation.
Gounty Court.— Tbe Sparta Time, and
Planter has these strong points in favor of
the County Court. The remarks are appli
cable to other counties than Hancock :
Within the past year fortv-three criminal
eases were disposed of in Hancock County
Court. It ia >he opinion of tbe Solicitor
General that these prisoners would have
averaged two months each io jail, at a coat
of about 820 per month (jail feeo, doctor’s
fees, cLihiog, and evervlbing) making a
saving in this one item of $1 720 00. The
Superior Court could hardly Lave di -posed
of these at four cases per da? ; »o that at
least one adjourned term would have been
weeevsury, »od this would have cost tbe
county some SBOO to SI,OOO more. This is
leaving out of the account tbe numerous
civil rases that would have gone to occupy
lae time of tbe Superior Coart.
Pbovitablr.— The iospectioo of fertilizers
must be a source of considerable revenue,
judgmg from tbe following statement :
Up l* date the six inspectors of fertilisers
iu Georgia have turned over to the Comp
troller General $33 000 for in«peetioo fees.
Of this amount only about $9 000 will be
required to pay all salaries, including $3,000
io the State chemist. Thus tbe State nets
$24 000 from tbe system of inspection.
Frank Miller, who until recently earned
bis few dollars a week in the press room of
tbe Dallas (Texas) /leiaid. ha* fallen heir,
through hi* wife, to $2,000 000. He mar
ried Azriia Dore, grand-daughter of Jean
Louis Champagne, a Texas millionaire
whose death occurred not long ago.
The Kansas Fever. —Si ventv of the
[ colored emigrants in camp at Wyandotte
crossed tbe river to Missouri this morning
and are seeking employment in Kansas Citv.
The funds raised at Cincinnati and ether
places for the benefit of the emigrants have
been used for them at St. Louis, supplying
the destitute at that point with provision*
and furnishing them transportation further
west. No aid from abroad has been received
for those now in Kansas, though many of
them are in very destitute circumstances, and
are living from day to day upon the contri
butions of the people in the vicinity. We
have bad a cold rain for the last three days,
and a severe wind now blowing from the
northwest gives these half-clad and poorly
sheltered creature* a touch of our hospitality
by no means agreeable. As they shiver
around their little fires of sticks and drift
wood or huddle together iu corners under
their tagged bluukets they present a pitiable
spectacle, «nd onr that appeals louder than
words to the sympathies uud charity of tbe
observer.
One of the most intelligent among them,
who was interviewed this morning, stated
that it was not the intention of any of them
to remain permanently in the towns. They
all desire to go out on the prairie sod
make claims for themselves and open farms,
but have no definite ideas as to bow this is
to be accomplished without funds, but until
they can get claims ot their own they desire
to find emplovment ss fa'm hands.— Leaven

“An Old Lady” writes in St. Louis Times.-
I was at Saratoga eight or nine years ago
and attending an entertainment iu the ball
room ol the United States Hotel. At the
close an old French gentlein.m arose and
begged the audience to listen to his daugh
ters sing. Among the few who attended to
the request, this lady saw two nether shabby
figures advance behind the old gentleman ;
they were his daughters, and one was the
Albani of to day, who was then listened to
merely as a in .liter ot courtesy, as there was
nothing at all in her voice l 'hen to fore-hadow
the great fame she now enjoys. The lather
would, however, persist that his daughter
could sing, and when others turn'd »w,y in
disbelief he held sieiduativ to his faith and
she. in spite of slights and difficulties, per
sisted and went onward. Y<>u may have
read ol a nugn fieeut borne in Loudon where
Albani lives with that old laiher and the
sister who was her companion in tbe shabby
bonnet .".lid shawl that felled even m th
slightest degree to eulist tbe interest of a
Saratoga ball-room uudience. Lately, the
newrspa; ers ti ll she had tweDty-three reca Is

The Cause of the Negro Exodus.
One of the most remarkable developments
vet mode of thp almost incredible extremi
ties to which Republican politicians wilt go,
in their desperate struggle to retain the hold
of power which i* slipping away from them
—not even excepting their desperate plot to
reverse, by fraud* committed in the return
ing hoard* of tbe carpet-bagged States, the
decision which was aetnally tendered by the
American people io the last Presidential
election —i* unfolded in the confession* made
bv the “Principia Club” of Cambridge and
Boston, in regard to the general stampede of
regroes from portion* of Louisiana and
Mstrissippi That story ia related in full in
the Boston Advertiser, the leading Republi
can paper of New England.
It is nothing more nor less, in sobatance,
than a confession that this black exodos has
been prepared a long while, is an organized
thing, and i* for (he purpose of reducing the
Sonlti»rw apportionment of member* for the
next Congress, baaed on the census of 1080.
Far this purpose a million of inflammatory
tracts hate b*en sent into the South, and
hired agent* have been sent there to stir up
the black*, and make them believe they are
oppressed, and that a p*radf»e awaits them
in Kansas and in upper Texas Tn the latter
region a Inrgr domain of railroad land haa
been in the interest of this move
ment and 2 800 negro families are ta be
s’aited thither this month. The idea is to
make a Mack Republican State, literally,
and as soon ns possible have it set off as a
►epHCH'e State ; bnt meanwhile tbe Nnathern
population must he redneed. and it i« to be
don*' in thi* wav, by hurrying off the deluded
negroes to Kansas.
A Kansas railway and land speculation
company aided the scheme, hy flooding por
tions o' the South wirh fl .using postera.de
pict'ng the plentiful abnndance of Kansas,
with showy wood-cuts ot waving corn-fields,
with u negro owner, and the trees full of
’povaums and ’coons. Under the delusion
that tand is to be given to them, the poor
negroes are flocking V/eat ward. Already
five thousand have gore, from tbe cotton
| fields of Louisiana chiefly, but some from
Mis-'isripoi, and are suffering untold hard
ships in Kansas The people out there say
they don’t want them, but the poor blacks
conti me to press on. In St. Louis 2,500 of
them bad to he saved from starvation and a
snow storm by the p ople of their own race
in that ci'y who raisrd money bv hard ef
fort, M, homed, and sent them on. In
Kansas they will suffer beyond anything they
Lave dreamed of, ami many will die.
But what do the Massachusetts philan
thropists care for that ?
W hat a spectacle it is. By their own
frauds and dupheity the Kepubiiaans largely
lost the support of the oeg roe* of the South.
Then, finding the blacks were going back to
thuii old time friends and voting with the
Democrats, they charged it to "bulldozing;”
aud issued utilina ted lies in the shape of
! sworn testimony to 'hat effect. And finding
all would not do, and that the negroes, in
stead of proving an instrument of Dower in
the hands of the Republican* as expected
whi n thi v were given the ballot, were really
only strengthening the Democrat* iu Uoul
gre s. these Republican prllticians now
coolly oiguinze a great negro exodus —the
onject being to cut down Southern represen
tation, and the mover* in it are wholly un
feeling for the late of their deluded victims,
the poor blacks.
Could a worse comment on Republican
philanthropy, and R pubbeaii devotion to
principle, possibly be made ? What a shame
ful 'hmg!
It ia to be noted that tbe Lonisiunn pxndus
is from the cottou regions only. It doe* not
take in the m-grop* of the sugar plantations
They are in demand, and well paid. The
cousd negiot-s are not well paid—the crop
ia mortgaged a rear ahead, the owners are in
debt, and ihe Degrees have to wait for their
money. They are discontented, and fall a
ready prey to the arts of the schemers who,
for a mere party purpose, are so heartlessly
sending them to their doom. A friend wbo

to Kansas) hv a Northern agent who gave

New York, April 11.— In the Talmage
trial yesterday the stenographer's minutes of
the interview between the Presbytery’s com
mitteeof inquiry sod Talmage were read.
In it is this passage :
Mr. Crosby said—l will state that I
would not hesitate at all to testify under
oaib that you told me that the reason why
the Times was your enemy and was pursuing
you was because you had a personal diffi
culty—l will not say with the editor, but
with some one conrecred with tbe Times.
Mr. Talmage—Audi would swear posi
tively that I did not tell you or give you
any impression that I had any collision with
auy iditor of the Times, tor I never knew
one. 1 could not have given you tLat state
ment.
Mr. Crosby—l will testify to it.
Mr Talmage—And I will testify the op
posin' 1 will just tell you, brethren, that
us hug as I live undc-rry on my style of
ministry l shall be assaulted ii it be to the
end of the wot Id, and you will have u trial
of me every month from now until the dry
of my death. The devil will he stirred up
all the Huie an' 1 if you intend to be my
sponsors in these matters all tbe way through
you will have a very big job
Mr. Crosby—That is wbat wr are hound
to be ; we cunuot well forego our ordination
oatb.
Brsf-.her Crosby was then recalled. He
lestifi'd that he bad beet active in bringing
the subject ol Talmage's commou fame o
trial for tfat sake of the Pre-bytery’s good
n«ine He had tin (iersou.il hostility against
Talmage. He may have said that Talmage
was a hat and a scoundtel, but be h..d no
pcisouai ieeiings against him.
The piosecut.ou then rested their c.ise.
Mr. C rorby i-aid that the prosecution re
gretted the laduie of witnesses to appear
who t.ad at the outset made avv-uicnts to
the course, and agieeti to substantiate them.
He (Mr Lrosbt) was at a mss to explain
ibeit action “blither wbat tiny sum was
false or their statements wouid be so dam- I
aging ta Dr. Talmage that ——” Before
this sentence was finished there was violent
biasing and Mr. Crosby slopped.
An Intknkstino Relic—Tbe Jonesboro

it is the pre*a that Benjamin Franklin
worked in hi* day. Our old citizens first
became acquainted wirh it some sixty year*
ago. Rev. H.F Buchanan says when he
was a child a Mr Minor was working it at

Tbe pla'en is made of mahogany with a

Because resumption placed gold at par,
yen roust not get it into your head that I am
too proud to take it. On tb# contrary,
gold, silver or greenback* are alike to me.
I take any legal money that is offered, and
agree to give in exchange the beat equiva
lent that can be bad in this market. Giva
me a call.

WITH AN UNTARNISHED
Reputation for Fair Dealing \
THIS may be called a fine speech by those
A who have never taken the trouble to
m .ke mv acquaintance, or io study my mods
of doing business. Still, 1 don’t ask any
body to take my word, or in fact to be influ
ei ce<l m any way by a mere advertisement,
but cordially invite all to call and investigate
tor themselves, feeling sure I can prove that
I mean business and every word I say.
Fair dealing helps trade better than fair
weather. Nothing but steady, low prices,
year m and year out, will create and main
tain a trade such as I have had since 1 com
menced business. No Deed of argument
prices alone tell the story.
I have now in stock, and will continue to
keep such articles as
DRY GOODS, GROCERIES,
BOOTS. SHOES, HATS, CAPS,
PLAN TAI ION SUPPLIES,
And a varied and choice assortment of
GKNRK \L, MERCHANDISE,
I kauking my frit .ids and patrons for their
former liberal support, I hope, by keep ng
the best aud selling us low as ;be lowest, to
merit a continuance of the same.
