Words of Truth.
The following is taken from the Rom n
( l ouritr. While others have been writing
ambiguously about what thev saw ard heard
in Atlanta, this writer strikes the “bull’s
eye” at the first shot. Hear what he snvs :
“We think the Lecdslatnre has dn>-p right
nnd will he sustained so (nr n« reanlts are
eoneeri ed ; bn* we are satisfied that the
rrimec nf seme nnd peccadilloes of othera
who hnve managed to pet in'o office are
hemp no ed bv men who deswethp overthrow
of the Demoetalie party to inflame the minds
of the people against Innocent men and
against the Democratic party. We think
we cenld discover Hvo extreme elements in
the House particularly ; one hen* on driving
the Democracy to the wnl\ and witling, in
order to rrnrh that end. to ca°t nsprrsion on
the son! o* honor it»e! r ; the other so fearlul
of compromising the fair name of thp party
nnd their own character that they will not
allow themselves outstripped in the hnnt for
‘crookedness’ even hy the strongest oppo
nent of Demoeraev."
Ist. True, every word. And we hnve no
doubt in our mind that Mr. Goldsmith was
made the seapp- goat for those who were far
more censurable than he. He was used as a
. tool by men who had schemes on hand, and
yet snelt was the inherent nobility of his
nature that he preferred disgrace to a dis
closure of their names and deeds It is also
self-evident that there are ‘two extreme
elements in the House”—both willing to
enter into any arrangement to further their
own plans, even though ienocent men must
he hurled from office to clear the way. These,
we are free to admit, (and condor compels
the admission.) do not comprise any consid
erable Dumber of that body ; still they ore
there, busily at work scheming and planning.
It is more in sorrow than in anger that this
is said. But he has read the acts of men to
little tfleet who does not see thut behind all
this sudden, sporadic desire for investigation,
impeachment and all that, theie is some hid
den purpose, some sinister project, some
secret motive, which, at the proper time, is
expected to completely disrupt, d sintegrute
and utterly demolish the Democratic party.
It is hoped that by loading the party with a
host of convicted office-holders to give such
aid to its enemies ns to raise to place and
power those who could never attain honora
ble distinction by their own merits. There
nre such schemes iu all assemblies of any
considerable size, and results have proved
that our Legislature is not an exception.
2nd. The second class mentioned by the
'liibune is composed of “those who are so
fearful of compromising the fair name of the
party and their own character thut they will
not allow themselves to be outstripped in
(the hunt for crookedness,” True again;
aud right there lies the danger. They may
over-do the thing. There is u line beyond
which prudence should admonish men not to
go ; but to do evil thut good may come, is
uu ethical question not easily settled With
every desire to do right ; with every desire
to so cleanse the party of every obj< ctiona
ble element ; and with every desire to place
it in such an attitude br to offer the least
possible objection to its friends in other
parts of the country, there is danger of so
>dividing and so mutilating it, as to divest it
of the means of making a successht! fight in
the future. There is but one party in Geor
gia now ; Ihere may be another in a year,
and that one, rallying together the fragments
of Republicans and Independents—of both
colors—will cause the Democratic party
serious trouble.
Then fore, let the Democratic members of
the Legislature act wisely and cautiously,
and see to it, if not already too late, that
these investigations are not carried on or
prosoeu'ed to subserve personal ends or to
grality personal malice, hat hecause they are
demanded by the public good Mark what
we say, und don’t forget it.
Ignorance —A Mecklenburg (N. C)
man who has been traveling considerably in
Georgia by private conveyance, reports thnt
he found quite a number ol people who
hadn’t heard anything about the Bible, but
they knew all about Ben Hill.— Ex.
The accusation is just. There are hun
dreds of families in Georgia, we are sorry to
say, who have no Bible, nor observe its in
junctions ; never attend church, and have
no interest in such matters. But everybody
knows Ben Hill, Bob Toombs, Joe Brown.
Murcellus Thornton, and others of our many
big guns. Such is life.
Rare Srioiit.—To see Toombs, Stephens
and Gov. Smith together at the dinner table
is certainly a rare sight. No matter what
their faults may be —and they are grave and
many—these three men, by reason of intel
lect and public services, are a power in the
State; and however objcctiounble some of
their acts or opinious inuy be, they must be
regarded as princes among their fellows. As
men of mind, they are Georgia’s jewels.
Ended.—The great walking match for
the Astley belt at Madison Square, Nt-w
York, closed last Saturday night, with Row
ell the second time victor. There was great
enthusiasm as the time expired, and “God
Save the Queen” was played ns a compli
ment to the gallant fellow as he spun around
the track for the last time. He made’ a
pile, too—one that paid him.
Impeachment. — We would not have voted
to disfranchise Wash Goldsmith for a mil
lion of dollars, with our present ideas of ex
act justice.— Gmresviit; Southron.
Gently, friend Southion, gently. You

Dead.—Dr. JE. Blount, who was prom
inertt us a Radical politician when the days
of radicalism was profitable in Georgia, died
recently at the lunatic asylum, of which
place he hid been an inmate for several
months.— Ex
Wit hnnt feeling any gratification at the
misfortunes of even a Radical, it were a
bles-i ri g cnnld everv member of the party be
placed hots de combat in n s’milar manner.

Mr. Editor: —l arrived home to day
(Wednesd iv) from a professional engage
ment in Folton county My attention is
called to a card, signed by W. Marshal!
and F. W. Lynch, pnrporting to bp the
official representation of the “Disciples'
Church in Conference assembled ” (?) (?)
This (fon’erence puts upon public exhibition
how easy i» is for vulgar and low-bred peo
ple to call their opponents fiars. It has been
a proverb lor a thousand years and more,
that ignorance and vulgarity can use no
other argument than to assert that all who
oppose them are guilty of falsehood, and as
signing no reason for it. The rard in ques
tion hears the ear-marks and diction of
Rev Ammons. who pndeavors through the
duplicity of these supple tools to pa'm off
upon the public what he, Ammons, knew
was not a fact.
W. L. Marshall, who sports the official
title of Moderator, is an ( ffshoot from the
Methodist Protestant Church into the Bap
tist Church, and thence he became a “Disci
ple.” Ammons, had lie searched the Disci
ples’ church over, could not have found a
more suitable proselyte for his month-piece
in this matter. His selection of this tool is
the best evidence that the public desires to
sound the depth of Rev Aoiidods’ duplicity
nnd evasion.
The name of P. W. Lvnclt is a mvstpry to
the Lvnclt family, who tire not aware of such
n person in all this country. It may be a
typographical error, and should be R. W.
Lynch. If so. he is a vet y new convert —a
novice—and an easy suhj ct to mould into a
Secretary, arid then into anything else thut
Ammons could desire.
“Our voice is that no Disciple hereafter
notice anything that Cold well or any of his
type may say.”
By this general blow Amnions has mur
dered outright Reese, in the Newnan Herald,
nnd Coldwell, in Thk Henry County
Weekly—as he thinks.
In Coweta county, this same Ammons
said in his sermon, to decent and tidy ladies,
that their characters were so black ‘ that
they would the smoke stacl! of hell and
o! course he had no congregation in two
minutes afterwards, and had to ride 16 miles
before lie could find a place of shelter and
rest.
Mr. A nnnons has made this a question of
veracity, and 1 am determined he shall be
brought face to fuce with an indignant but
responsible public.
1 will finish up this matter next week by
references that will expose thiscrenturn, who
adds crime to bis insuits by substituting in
bis place other simple minded men, whom he
lias destroyed by his empty, vociferous
heresy,and now wonld associate them with
him in crime, thus adding injury to the in
sult heretofore given to the public of this
community. Jno G. Coldwell-
Brooks Station. Ga , Sept. 24 1 k, 1879.
Explanation.
Mr Editor: —lnismnch ns it appears
♦ lint there nre those «hn seem to think there
is hmd fueling nnd bud blood between my
self and the gentleman with whom I have
hud the honor to discuss several subjects of
a religious character, in the columns of Tfik
\V ekki.Y, 1 take this opportunity to assure
all such that, so far us I urn individually
concerned, there is the best of feeling, good
will nnd brotherly love, and has been all the
while. There is a greut difference between
‘ fighting” men, and their principles—religi
gious and political.
1 have many dear friends, whom I love
and honor with all my heart for their manli
ness and good works, whose religious opin
ions, theories and tenets I honestly believe to
be false from beginning to end, and I sup
pose 1 stand in the same relation to them.
Opposition to thorough investigation and
controversy is nothing less or else than the
legitimate fruits of a purblind religious par
tisan bigotry—despised, condemned and in
tolerable with all sensible people of whatever
school or creed. It is the Judas Iscariot
that would murder the vanguard of all im
provement nnd reformation in everything
that tends to make man happier, better,
wiser and more civilized.
And he who would have his fellowtnan
publicly denounced for giving vent to his
honest convictions of trnth, in opposition to
whatever he may consider error, in any
manner whatsoever, would, had he the power
and authority, like the Roman Catholics of
the durk ages, or Nero and Oabgula, et al.,
of pagan heathenism, bind my limits with the
chains of religious tyranny, nnd plunge
my body into a caldron of boiling oil,
while he looked on and laughed at my suffer
ings for conscience sake. And he who ob
jects to controv rsy because ol strife, etc , is
too ignorant to be pointed back to the be
ginning of all reformations in religion, poli
tics, governments, etc., from the first dawn
ol the day, when civilizition began to take
an upward march to the highest pinnacle in
the attainment of human excellence, down to
the preseut day of the nineteenth century.
It is useless to refer such to Jesus of Naza
reth ; Peter. James, John aid Stephen at
Jerusalem ; Paul at Athens or Ephesus ; or
to Luther, the immortal hero of Protestaut
ism ; the Wesleys; Calvin, Campbell; or
to Washington, Jefferson, Patrick Henry,
et al.
Strife, blood, confusion, etc., followed in
the wake of these gloriously great men, as
they went on promulgating the great princi
ples of huinao freedom and religious tolera
tion ; and so it must ever be until truth, the
whole truth, will have conquered eiror, and
man, liberated from the shackles of ignorance
uud superstition, can together sing the songs
of peace amid the blisslnl set nes of a happy
woild. Therefore, away with the cry of
‘ No controversy,” and let all obsequious
sycophant* who, for ‘ filthy lucre” or a little
woridly |popularity, would vanquish truth
w ith error, go to the jungles of Africa, and
with the savage roam over the plains of her

Closing Exercises of Flint Hill
Academy.
Mr- Editor .—On Friday evening, ere the
-on had sunk to rest, we donned our best
and made our way in quick time to “Flint
Rill Academy,” where we found Mrs.
Malone, the accomplished teacher, busy
making arrangements for the exhibition.
After some delightful music on the piano by
the excellent performer, Mi-s Katie Thomp
son, with an accompaniment by Mr. William
Combs, of Locust Grove, one of the best
violinists in the Slate Prof. J. P. Speir, of
Hampton, was introduced, and for near one
hour held the large and intelligent audience
almost spellbound with one of rite most
chaste and beautiful speeches to which it
has ever been our good fortune to listen
His articulation and gesticulation were fine,
doing himself great credit. His good and
wholesome advice will not soon be forgotten
in this community. Then come the speeches
by the little boys—choice dialogues, dramas,
charades, burlesques, etc., interspersed with
sweet, soal-stirring' music by the school.
Ail did so very well that I dare not attempt
to discriminate, but will assert that little
May Malone, a child of about nine summers,
is equal on the stage to May the Fay, in
Templeton’s troupe of years ago. At the
close of the exercises Prof. Speir came for -
ward and presented prizes to Master Henry
SpurMu and Misses Ballard and Reeves, in
an elegant and impressive manner. The
evening passed off most pleasantly, and it is
the. judgment of all that the occasion was
replete with interest, nnd decidedly the be9t
exhibition that has ever been in all this sec
tion of country. Mrs. Malone is an intelli
gent, accomplished and worthy instructress,
and any community securing her services
may feel honored a 9 well as fortunate

Honor to Whom Honor is Due.
Mr. Editor:—Yon will please allow me
space in your valuable paper to let your
readers know how farming pays on Mt.
Carmel soil. Mr. James Gorman, a tenant
on my farm, has jnst finished gathering his
com crop, which yields hint 220 bushels,
gathered off 15 acres, mostly upland. At
the present price of corn, (80 cents.) 220
bushels would hring SI 76 80; fifteen hun
dred bundles fodder, §ls ; shucks $5 ; total.
SI 96. Ilis cotton crop will yield bint 2 590
pounds of lint. At 9 cents per pound, this
would be worth 5225 ; one hundred and
fifty bushels cotton seed, 10 cents per bushel,
sls; total value of crop. 5436 80. Pretty
good farming for a dry year, taking
into consideration that he plowed it all with
one mule, (known in the neighborhood as
“Old Bob Lee,") and he neither kept a boy
following “Bob” with a hickory switch, or
riding on his back to keep him moving, ns
my cropper did who bad control of “Bob”
lust tear.
I can recommend Mr. Gorman as a hard
working and industrious man.

Card of Thanks.
While away, waiting at the bedside of a
sick son, I learn that the dear brethren aud
friends ol Hampton, in love and in the large
ness of their souls, met at the parsonage on
Monday night and gave evidence of their
liberality and kindness by supplying ns with
the good things of this life. We assure you,
dear brethren and triends, that such acts of
love ami kindness filled our hearts with most
profound gratitude, and we sincerely regret
tlint we were denied the privilege of being
with you on that (to ns) memorable occasion.
And dow, dear brethren ai d friends, may
the God of all grace bless you with ail
needed blessings in this ltle, and crown you
in heaven at lust. Wesley F. Smith.
Stonewall Jackson’s Daughter. —When
the Juckson statue was unveiled in Rich
mond some years ago, after the processions
and the oratory, Governor Kemper brought
lo.waid upon the platform a slender little
girl, and addressing the great crowd of the
old Confederate sold ers said: “Comrades, let
me present to you the daughter of Stonewall
Jackson ” Somehow the tears sprang to
every eye at the sight of this delicate child
of their resistless leader. There was no
cheering, but every face showed a deep
emotion. Ever since that time a tender and
poetic interest has clung to this little lady,
and there are many thousands who cure to
know of her well-being. She has recently
arrived in this city, and has been entered at
the Southern Home School. Miss Julia
Jacksou is about sixteen years old; tall,
slender and graceful. She is a blonde, with
Iresh color and lair hair. Her eyes are of
exquisite clear gray, large and expressive.
Her manners are gentle, bnt not shy or re
set ved. There is not any marked resem
blance to her illustrious father, and she seems
hardly conscious of the distinction that she
enjoys and of the romantic interest that she
curries with her.— Baltimore Gazette.
Sam Hurst, near Montezuma, will make
one humired bales of cotton, and more com
than he can use next year.
