“Damn old Rivers!’’
Mart Cummer, the Washington female
correspondent, writing of “Our Ben,” says
‘ the Georgia statesman has been a Methodist
class-leader or preacher, and a certain aroma
of sanctimoniousness seems to emanate from
bia sandy face, or to hover over it like an
aura. His bair is sandy, touched with gray,
with a slight fringe of the same below his
chin. llis mouth is clean cut and resolute,
bis nose not an impressive member, his eyes
light blue, with a certain meditative, intro
verted light in them, which shows that he
does considerable thinking, after a fashion of
bis own.”
Creditable.—The following is taken
from the Quitman Free Pfe\s. It is gratify
ing to be thus able to refute tbe slanders of
such men as Bishop IJaveu, el ul homnt genus,
with facts which cannot be deoied ; and it ia
further gratifying that the remarks of the
free Press will apply with much truth to the
colored people of other eections as well.
These people are opening their eyes scry
wide, and looking at the situation in its
proper light; and tbe result ia, a general
reformation is going on everywhere. Of
course, there are somt in all communities who
act bad, but they are in the minority. Read
this:
A better claw of colored people are oot to
be found in tbe Boutb than we have in
Brooks county. Among the settled, resi
dent colored people there is scarcely any |
crime, which tbe records of oar courts will
show. For tbe last four years onr jail has
I»d tut tew tenants. Occasionally some
lazy, v.cious, lied man struggles into Brooks
from I- londa, or some other county in the
State, and lives by roving over the country

up with a lesidence at Lockett’s camp, near

Wild Lands A train.
Articles of impeachment have been, or
soon will be. drawn np and preferred against
fhe present Comptroller-General of the
State fbr high crimes and misdemeanors. He
will be tried by the Senate, the Chief Justice
presiding.
We fail to eonnret the ehnrges against
this officer with actual gnilt. It is one thing
to make a charge ; to prove it is another
and a very Afferent thing. The action taken
by the Wild L-md Committee has not at all
shaken our faith in the Compttoller’s integ
lity. Oar faith is not of thr kind to be
shaken by every rumor, blown about by
every wind. He may have committed errors ;
he may have made mistakes, owing in great
part to the ambignous nature of the b* ;
but there is no evidmee that he was in any
way—directly or remotely—connected in the
sales, transfers, etc., of these wild lauds. It
was his misfortune to be snrronnded by «
chain of rather suspicious circumstances;
hence, in this ur.lucky plight be is made the
victim, while less scrupulous men will, by
superior cunning, go free.
Having taken up the cudgels in favor of
Mr. Goldsmith, because of a strong faith in
his innocence, wc propose to stand by him
as long as we shall deem him worthy ol sup
port. And wc still believe that, notwith
standing sundry sensational rumors, he will
be able to clearly prove bis innocence.
However, ll after thorough investigation and
a fair tiial, he is found guilty, it must lie
accepted as a finality. Yet, so long have
we trusted him, it will be difficult even then
to realise Ihe trath. It will be hard to be
lieve that here in Georgia high officials are
bought and sold, just as a horse, or a cow,
or a mule might be.
Wc await event*. We have no interest
in the matter beyond the desire to see jus
tice triumph. That end attain'd, wo shall
lay the whole thing down. If Mr. Gold
smith be really guilty—which we do not
now believe—be must stand aside, covered
with the odium that rests upon all such
But let us hope that he will come out of
this test purer aod more refined than ever.
Thr Gubernatorial Contest in Cali
fornia —Each of the three parties are put
ting on the war-paint in the land of the big
trees. The Democrats have brought out
I)r. Glenn, a strong man. The Nihilists
huv. a candidate, and of course the Repub
licans must bring out a man also. It is a
three-cornered affair, bnt we are willing to
stake our interest in the Leadville mines
that the Doctor’s physic will make them u ; l
too sick to run we)}. He will soon lay down
one title to take up another.
Good. —lf the Atlanta Pod never makes
another declaration during its natural life, it
will have earned the gratitude of all good
men by the following. It is a shame on the
otherwise good name of Georgia that this
wu* ever grafted in the Constitution. It
is a license to every coward or drunken brute
to kill and slay at pleasure :
The sooner the Legislature of Georgia
abolishes the law allowing the jury in murder
cases to make the penalty lile imprisonment,
the better for the Btnte. It virtually abol
ishes capital punishment.
Weapon*.— Our correspondent, “ Pan
handle,” made a good suggestion in la*t
week’s issre relative to carrying, selling and
owning pistols. Were a tux in either case
imposed and enforced, it would go far toward
lessening the number carried about, and as a
natural result reduce the amount of crime.
The suggestion merits attention. When the
law dives down into a man’s pocket and
clutches his purse, be is ready to make any
sort of terms. We thank ‘‘Panhandle” lor
the idea.
North Georgia Fair.— We return thanks
to the Secretary, B. W. Wrenn. for a pre
mium list of the second annual fair of the
North Georgia Stock and Fair Association.
It will be held at Oglethorpe Park, Allanta,
commencing Monday, October 20th, and
continuing one week. If the display is as
magnificent ns the array of premiums pre
sented, it will be a grand affair and no ques
tion.
A Singular Proposition.
We see that one of the ‘•assembled wis
dom” from the county of Ware, most prob
ably a resident of Floyd’s Island, in the
depths of the Okelenokee swamp, has intro
duced a bill to abolish the office of State
School Commissioner. What next ? We
tremble for fear that all the judges, preachers
and teachers in the State will also be guil
lotined by this econom cal law maker.
If there is one person iu Georgia who
more thsn any other deserves to be crowned
with laurel lor bis nntiring, unselfish and
herculean efforts to enlighten and promote
tbe best interests of bis people, that man is
Gustavus J. Orr.
It is not too much to say that his office
could not be filled as efficiently by any other
citiaeo in the commonwealth. It is he who
has brought order out of chaos, and solved
successfully tbe problem of free education in
Georgia. It is he wbo, refusing to use a
dollar of tbe appropriation made for the
purpose by the generous assistance of the
ageot of tbe Peabody fund, has visited
almost every county in tbe Stßte, addresser!
tbe people, upheld the banner of education
and temperance advocated tbe passage of a
dog law to protect an important branch of
husbandry and add to tbs public ®choo! fund
of tbe commonwealth, and, in short, has
labored in season and out of season for the
ignorant masses of Georgia.

A Leadvillk Restaurant. —Step into
the Tontine Restaurant at any hour of the
day or evening nod yau will see groups ol
urn in twos or threes, sitting with their
chairs drawn close together, their heads
touching, th ir hands and arms grasping the
chairs for snpport.yet trembling with excite
ment. and all conversing in eager whispers.
Now and then they will glance suddenly and
guiltily around to see if anybody is observ
ing or listening to them One would imagine
they were gangs of bnrglais, ntgunizing a
scheme to plunder a bank. But they are
not criminals—at least they are not discuss
ing a crime. If you should be interested
enough to listen to their eager conversation,
you might catch occasional fractions of sen
tences, such as “Sure thing,” “Must strike
it.” - Thirty ounces." "Fortune made,” etc
These are the conspirators, the visionaries,
who arc always getting rich, but never ac
qniie riches. See how hard they breathe,
how their eyes sparkle, and how, in their
nervousness, they are constantly changing
their attitudes! And they are sharp, too
They pride themselves upon knowing so
much more than anybody else about the
prospects of Leadvilie— upon being on the
in«ide of things, as it were. And they are
not scrupulous, either. Let one of them out
on Chestnut street alone. He sees a group
of capitalists talking on a corner. How
quickly hesurmses that “something is up,”
and with what an air of indifference he backs
np to the group, and surveys intently some
object on the summit of the snowy range 1
Probably he takes out an eyeglass and scans
the horizon with nil the appearance of dis
cerning the weather signs. Of course he is
not listening to the strangers who arc talk
ing behind him. But whenever by chance
lie is having a confidential interview with
anybody, he is continually shifting around,
as if he expects somebody will duck up a
kernal of his valuable lore. These are the
men who desperately oppose all schemes in
which they are not themselves interested, and
who chop down trees, and waylay telegraph
boys to prevent the consummation of sules.
They are chnracters of I/ > udviile.—li 'orr.

The Bi.ue andthkGrat —Extracts from
the address of General Jos. Wheeler at
Montgomery, Ala., on the Fourth :
“From the day they sheathed their swords,
the Northern soldiers who led the front of
battle have endeavored toestahlish the peace
for which thy? fought, and for which their
comrades died. 1 am therefore very glad
vou invited nnd urged the Foldiers.of the
North to join in this great celebration of
our country's birth. I but express what I
believe and know to he the sentiments of the
Southern soldier, when 1 say it wasonr hope
they all would come ; and the replies to your
invitations which have been received from
the brave men of the North, show that we
correctly judged the sentiments of their
hearts. If but lew have come on this occa
sion, I hope all will come at another not
distant gathering. I hope they will join u»
in our festivals, and drink with us the waters
of friendship, ent with us the bread of per
fect reconciliation, and smoke with us the
pipe ot gentlest peace. I hope we will all
soon visit them, and that the heart of the
soldier of the South, and the soldier of the
North, will be bound together by links and
ties known alone to the bravest and most
chivalrous of men. In what better way can
we prove to the world how truly we are one
people, one country and one Union ? And
this expression of the unfettered feelings of
the true soldier will cement and weld it in a
union of hearts as well as a Union in name
This must be done uow. It must be done
by us. We cannot leave it to be done by
our children. The inheritance the heroes of
the American conflict must leave to those
who come after them should be love and
fraternity, not a legacy of discoid and dis
trust.”
Masculinity in Undress— The water of
New York harbor isn’t now so pure as that
which curled under the prows of Hendrick
Hudsou’s galliots. It is more or less muddy,
and if possible, holds more things, or what
were once things in solution, than is pleasant
to think intensely about. The best plan is
to shut your eyes, plunge in and stop think
ing. However, it’s salt water, and it’s a
mercy’tis salt water.
There’s so little of most men without their
clothes. Your smart, fashionable, sMI-sbirt
collared man, when ready to bathe, generally
degenerates into a puny, unimportant look
ing thing. Your important looking busi
ness man dwindles likewise into a sort of
physical nonentity. They’re such shiveting.
helpless, crouching, pale creatures without
their clothes. Go to a bath it you would
see how much tailors do for the race. Many
of the unclad seem to lose all dignity and
self-esteem on shedding their clothes. You
may see some actually appearing to resume
these qualities again as they put on tbeir
clothes.
The boys ore tbe most natural and grace
ful. The smaller the boy, the more ease
and grace. One may look at the boys with'
out becoming ashamed of the species.
The bath-house is the place to see and
realize the real deformity of corpulency
You wonder then how you ever gave a
prominently protuberant man any credit for
dignity. In fact, without what the tailor
does for him, and left io the fashion nature
has chosen to leave him, your fat man is a
ridiculous and almost pitiable object un
dressed. Such wuddling, puffing and un
wieldioess made in the image of the Creator!
O, but this is, indeed, profanity. —A'. Y.

Secretary Evarts Tries to Please Mrs.
HaY3s.—Ever since the Cabiuet of Presi
dent Hayes has been iu existence, the Secre
tary of State has worn a shocking bad bat.
While displaying good taste io ihe matter
of diess generally, the Foreign Affairs
his neg'eet in this respect, nrd while it may
not have been the exact language used, she
often requested Mr. Evarts to “shoot that
hot." For a time the request seemed to
h»ve no more effect upon the Secretary than
would castor oil on a graven image, hut
having the snbject constantly brought to hi*
attention, he finally concluded to get a new
hat. He sent an order to a New York hat
ter to “build” him a bat, giving no particu
lar directions except to put one up that
would please the President's wife, it came
in due season It was a two ounce, light
felt slouch bat, small in brim and low in
crown. The old, discorded hat gave Mr
Evarts the appeirance of a seedy Bowery
boy, but the new one gave him the look of a
young collegian fresh Irom graduation. After
giving the hat a casual inspection the Sec
retary put it on his bead, and said to a
friend, ‘I am going over to the White
H"use to let Mrs. Hayes see my new hat ”
He came back in a half hou’- or so when
the triend said, “Well, how d.d Mrs. Hayes
like the hat?” “I don’t know," replied the
Secretary, “but I don’t think »he could lave
been much pleased, lor she said it made me
look more like a sunflower than anything
else.” Mr. Evarts left for New York last
night, and meanwhile will buy an ornate
bend covering suited to his peculiar style of
beauty.— Washington Star.
“< ha iii-Staot.”
“Nym Crinkle,” the racy correspondent
of the New York Star, relate* the follow
ing:
“To return to politics. I heard an old
story aptly reapplied on the piazza of the
Ui and Central Inst night. A good deal of
enthusiasm was being expended on the la«t
veto, when a sober Republican finally said :
“The last veto reminds me of a chain-shot in
Kontncky.”
“Chain-shot in Kentucky?” they all in
quired. “How’s that ?”
“Why, you see,” said the first speaker, “a
good m.ny years ago. and after the Mexican
war, there was a party of village loungers in
a Kentucky tavern listening to the war ex
ploits of a fellow who had been down to the
Halls ol the Moutezunius with our boys
He explained everything in the science of
war to the wonder and satisfaction of the
yokels, and finally one ol them asked him
what corn-shot was.
“ ‘Why, chain-shot,’ says he ; ‘sho, chain
shot’s the sinij lest thing in the world. You
just load two cannons, half a mile apart,
with two cannon balls that are fastened to
gether by a chain ; you fire ’em both off
when the enemy’s troops are cornin’ up in
loree, and the chair, takes down the whole
division of’em. It’s the neatest thing in
artilleiy practice.’
‘'This was satisfactory to all except one
old codger, who took his corncob pipe out of
his mouth and remarked :
“ ‘But look ah-heab. Sposeo, now, only
one gun goes off ?’
“ 'Oh, then,’’ Buys the military hero, ‘the
bloody thing slings around and plays hell
witli our fellows.’ Now, it strikes me that
only one of our guns lias gone of! this season.
It’s a veto gun, and the bloo ly thing is sling
ing around and playing ”
A loud burst of laughter interrupted the
sentence.
On last Saturday a citizm of Gumming
passed throngh our town moving nil of bis
earthly possessions in a little wheelbarrow.
He said he and his wife had separated, and
he had started to seek his fortune among his
relatives in Newton county. His whole
stock in trade consisted of a baby about two
years old and a shot-gun. Thus he traveled
along, over hill nnd dale, trusting to good
luck for the future. He didn’t state the
number of children or amount of goods his
wife got in the division, but we presume she
took the cradle and second installment.—

Reply to “Zip.”
Mr. Editor :—As I nm tackled by one
“Zip," who can’t understand the plain writ
ings of God's word, I beg for space in yonr
columns to answer his questions; yet I feel
he “can’t understand ” I state to him that
I am no builder of Bible theories, for they
have been long since firmly established by
our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Can
you understand that, ‘ 7'p ?” And I desire
to tell you, in plain English, that father
Adam was no fool. I confess him very intelli
gent ; a great deal wiser than you or 1.
I do say that our foreparenls were in the
enjoyment of endless bliss and happiness, had
it not been that the serpent wilfully, de
signedly and maliciously deceived mother
Eve, and she handing to Adam, deceived
him also ; thence the tall of man, and he
became spiritually dead to God ; and hence
the establishment of the Devil’s kingdom
upon earth, and the great necessity of Christ
coming to earth to set up his kingdom again,
and despoil the Devil. Did not Adam name
every beast of the field, and every fowl of
the air, etc, Bnd “whatsoever Adam called
them, that was the name thereof?’’ “Z p,”
could your toogue string out so many names,
and so well suited ?
After Adam bad received the command of
• tod not to eat of the tree of knowledge of
good and evil, lest he should die, and know
ing that the Heavenly Father made visits to
him in that beautiful garden, tell me not
that he hud no idea of time ! Ob ! shame be
upon you, that you have made our father
Adam so low in intellect, nod at the same
time the great God of all things saying, “he
is made like unto myself’—who made time
and space and eternity, and things above and
things below.
‘ Zip,’’ why did Adam hide himself if he
did not know what time tbe Lord would
come into tbe garden ? If be did not reckon
time correctly, why was he hid when the
Lord appeared in the terrestial paradise in
tbe cool of tbe day ? Cao you understand ?
I guess not.
‘ Zip,” I think I understand you, just like
I have understood tbe Devil for yeais. You
are a blind leader of tbe blind—a false di
viner of God’s wisdom, and an endorser of
man's works aud not God’s. You stick to
creed more than to tbe Lord; for I said
there was a deeper mystery to be solved out
iu reference to the "serpent that beguiled
woman. 1 said, and still say, that tbe spirit
of the Devil emered into the snake and spoke
the mother tongue of our foreparents, and
wilfully, maliciously and designedly deceived
them to establish his own kingdom on earth,
(as be was already a cast out from Heaven).
And I tell you plainly, I fear you are io tbe j
possession of the same spirit to-day that en- I
. ...,i tUrourh you, as an I
instrument, will deceive morp of Adim’s
family. “Zip,” are you not one of the D vil’s
serpents? If so. pray God through J»sns
Christ to purge vou with hyssop, that yon
may he clean; that you may receive th>*
bnlv ghost, and be steadfast in the fai'b
which wns once deliveted to the sain's, “and
marvel nnl that T say un'o yon. ye must he
born again." Can you understand this?
And now I give yon until the la»i dnv
that vou are a lowed to live on earlh to *ell
me who the Devil i« If yon don't go from
Gpnesis (3d c. and Ist v.,) to Revelation.
(I2ih e . 3d and 4'h v.,) yon may search, and
yon will he just as yon are now—ran’! or
don’t understand ; and hence, to find oat thi
monster upon earth, we must refer to iHp
12th ehaptpr and 9th aud 12'h verse* of
R. velations ; for he is a stranger in Gene
s'*. who introduces himself to mankind.
Now, “Z ; p." find him anywhere else described
pii minutely in God's word and I close—l
mean his past location and present abiding
place. I fear you will again say, “I can’t
iind rstand I ’
I know the holy word of God says there
was a loud voice and great rejoicing in
heaven when be was cast ont, and there will
be a loud shouting when he is cast out ol
you. too, “Z u.’’ So mote it be. Amen.
Friend -Zip,” what denomination, creed
or sect do you belong to ? I do not like
your name. It might answej for a tarns
coon nr a small dog, but not for a theologian.
Why did you not pul the letter h to it. and
it would have had a meaning Do you ever
hunt up the meaning of words? Do you
know the meaning of R-man? Don’t un
derstand, eh? Very well. 1’ I tell you : the
word Roman, as used in the Bible/ means
strong, powerful. Now. can you tell me
what the word Catholic wans? No?
Well, it means universal, general ar.d liberal,
and is derived from the Greek words kata
holos; and Ihe word church means a place of
worship, a particular body of Christians, and
is derived from the Greek, kurio* oikoi.
Now, pray, what ri-'ht have you toca'lthis
powerful, universal, liberal and particular
body of Christians an “Old Beast ?” Thou
worm 1 who gave thee authority to judge
the people ol God, and blaspheme its holy
name, which lor four centuries was pure and
undefiled, until such as yon crept in unawares
—who were of old ordained to this condem
nation. Ungodly men turning the grace of
our God into lasciviousness, and denying the
only God and our Lord Jesus Christ ; and
pinee the fourth century of the age of this
church, when you were driven from it by
B shop Alexander, who pronounced you as
heretics, apos'ates. blasphemous enemies of
God, full of impudenee and impiety—fore
runners of anti-Christ—imitators of Judas,
and men whom it wns not lawful to salute or
b d God speed ! So it has been ever since
the fourth century ; but thank God, to-day,
in the hearts of the true Christians, it is still
pure and precious in the eyes of Jesus Christ
our Lord ; ai.d I say it i* the only true
church ol ancient or modern history, together
with her numerous family of “daughters," as
you are pleased to term them, some of whom
1 confess have departed fiom tbeir first love.
I he great high priest of this church is Christ
the Lord, alter the order of Meleb'sedec.
Jesus Ch'is'-, the great Bishop of all regen
erated souls, his called and elect by
grace to life everlasting, is the Bishop, and
every man-made church wiih its man-tnude
discipline stands already condemned, and are
ready lor eternal damnation. And, ' Zp,"
do you deny belonging to some one of these?
And now you are “drunk with the wine of
her fornication,” and going about trying to
commit the souls of men to eternal perdition
—enforcing your poor, fallen man doctrines
or creeds upon the delnded world. Do you
understand this, * Z p ?’’
“He that is not for me is against me.”
“You cannot serve God and mammon.”
•‘No man can serve two Masters.” “Depart
from me, ye cursed, into everlasting perdi
tion. I never knew’you.”
Aid now, “Zip,” what I hnve written I
have penoed in the fear of God, not of you.
With all the respect to you that I feel in
any way bound, have I done what I honestly,
by the help of God, intend to adhere to. I
have oo sword to draw, but I can draw the
shurp, two edged sword of my Saviour, and
through his power cut with it, too. May
the Lord help you to undei stand.

crank. Uwonscionelv it recalls a phono
graph in s ! Z‘, though smaller and lighter
than the smallest. It is a miniature reed or
gan, wrh tone fully as strong and melodious
ns the cabinet size The crank works the
bellows fast or slow as is desired. The mu
sic is a perforated card board of the width of
Pie machine The holes are long or short,
and in all sorts of positions. Put the Cird
on the machine, close ttie top. and grind
away and you have choice o'gun melodies at'
»onr will. It surpasses th “cabinets,” foe
the reason that the ignoramus can play it as
w<dl as the most accomplished professor
The I'iit ide handle runs the bellows, and the
perforations supply the places of keys nnd
fingers. With one of these instruments any
one can secure the latest airs prepared for it,
put it in the box find grind away, and you
have your melody. It is a jolly thing with'
which to while away idle hours and entertain
visitors, for yon can order miles of music i!
you wish, and have a different tnne every
moment or two. or repeat any yoo fancy.
Thus is avoided all the monotony of the mu
sic box, tor one can hare an endless variety
of music. The price is only SSIO. including
six pieces of music. Extra tunes cos* onlv
25 cents each.— Columbia (Ga ) Enquirer.
