Lovick Pierce, at last advices, was improving in health The grand old man may survive a long time yet. The picture the Elberton Gazette draws of certain persons in Atlanta would be very beautiful if there was any color übout it. The matrimonial fever has struck Griffin in the east and west.— Griffin Sttn. Truly glad to hear this ; because it is not fair to strike below the belt. Joe Brows is m tTouble again. His ad versary this tune is Hon. Louis Garrard, of (JoJuu.buj^and 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 o. mituriMi, cut. waa CUllipritcu <V , 'M' | 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. '■ 1 ■. Braggadocio-—Rev. J. Jf. Am mons, Wlm ('lialieiixes F.verv liodv, And Abuses Everybody, Through Somebody Flse. 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 ILSAIIFfIRD. 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 J S. W. Brooks Station, Sept. 20th, 1879. 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. A V McVickkr Mt. Carmel, Sept 27 th, 1879. 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. To Preveut and Cure Coughs and Colds a reliable remedy is necessary in every house hold.
