A Tbrriblk Accident. —On last Friday
morning, at the hour of 4, the Charleston
steamer “Champion” was run into by the
schooner ‘ Lady Octuvia,” and sunk in five
minutes. A number of passengers were
saved, as were the captain aud some of the
crew. A number were also lost. It was
an awful time, tn mtd-ocean, amid uatkuc&s.
Tlie Lease of (lie Ms.con and
Brunswick Railroad.
It will be remembered that during the
recent session of the Legislat’ re a Bill wa>
passed for the purpose of effecting a lease or
sale of the Macon nnd Brunswick Railroad.
The restr’ctions with which the measure
was clothed produced »n impression at the
time that it would be difficult to find an\
company willing to take upon themselves
•he responsibilities attendant upon the lease.
On last Thursday, however, the day se'
apart under advertisement for the disposal
of the property, qnite a commotion was
created in railroad eirehs by 'he appearance
upon thp ground of several monied magnates,
who, it seems, deemed it profitable to invest
their capital in thnt direction. After a deal
of maneuvering and counterplotting by the
interested parties, the sale was open'd by
the crier, when Mr. Julius Brown, of
Atlanta, who was present in the interest of
his futher and others, arose and made objec
tion to the sale, claiming two grounds of
illegality ; first, because the sale had not
been advertised as required by the- enact
ments of the Bill, and secondly because the
terms of the least lad not been published.
Ilis motion for a pa-tponem'-nt having been
overruled he, with the representatives of
three other distinct companies, withdrew
from the contest, declining to bid, which
virtually left the matter in the hands of the
Central Road and its friends.
Judge Gresham o- cned the ball with the
minimum bid of SOO,OOO, when to! a "new
Richmond” appeared upon the field in the
person of Mr. E T. Paine, of Atlanta, who
met this bid and went ten dollars better.
Then and there it was Greek meeting
Greek, and the bidding became both spirited
and lively, the Central road trying to over
awe her adversary with fancy figures, while
the cool and imperturbuble Paine, ns fust as
words could be uttered, piled bis ten dollar
bids upon his opponent*. When the hour
for closing the Buie had arrived the bidding
was so rapid, and the confusion of the crowd
so great that it was impossible to determine
who was the successful lessee, the majority
of the persons present appearing to sympa
thize with the claims of the “ten dollar man
from Atlanta,” while at the same time
Judge Flewellen, of Macon, asserted that the
lease belonged to him by right of a bid of
$176,000. After a few moments’consulta
tion with the Attorney-General, the Gov
ernor withdrew the road, declaring no sale,
nnd announcing thnt he would readverti.se
the road at an early date.
The denoument of last Thursday in
Mucou hus certainly demonstiated one thing
very clearly, and that is that sooner or
luter the extension to Atlanta will be built
by somebody. Capitalists and railroad men
undoubtedly believe that it is a fine invest
ment for money or they would pot have
been so anxious last week to obtain pos
session of the road. The advertisement in
a legal shape will no doubt appear soon,
putting the road up a second time for lease.
We shall watch the progress of the measure
closely, nnd try arid keep our readers posted
iu regard to everything connected with it.
An Eloquent Tribute.
At the Hood meeting held last week in
Augusta the Chairman, Charles 'C. Jones,
concluded a splendid speech with the follow
ing touching allusion to the dead hero :
“In the catn'ogue of warriors who gnva
their adherence to the Confederate cau*e,
who shared the perils and the hardships of
camp and march nnd battle, who cheered the
hearts of their fellows, incited them to glori
ous action, and silt'd their blood in support
of the Hug which they upheld and the prin
ciplcs they avowed, few names are more
widely known nr more enthusiastically re -
membered than that ol the soldier who fills
the new made grave in New Orleans. In
his last moments his thoughts were of his
companions in arms. Recollecting their
fidelity aud affection—tested and experienced
under circumstances the most d ffieult—and
resting upon the Confederate tie which death
alone cau sever, with bis latest breath he
besought a transfer ol that vital attachment
and solicitude from himself to his motherless
children. The appeal ol the dying hero is
repeated by his voiceful tomb, and the Con
federate heart, alive to the impulses and
traditions of the days that are gone, and
cheerfully responding to this solemn request,
regards these infants as the wards of a popple
unable, it is true, to exercise the protecting
privileges of s lost nationality, yet kindling
into life whenever precious memories call lor
loyalty to a hallowed past and demand geu
erous deeds in the preseut.”
The whole South—in this case a “solid”
isouth—with one conseut, will heartily say
Amen to this ; aud all along the line, where
ever may be found one who followed this
great leader, will be ooe who will shed a tear
io its perusal. Hood will be remembered
and the little ones cared for. They will be
loved lor the brave deeds ot tbeir lather.
YTilliam M. Mitchell. —ln our last
week’s issue appeared a communication
signed “Spaiding,” indorsing Mr. William
M. Mitchell, of Griffiu, for Comptroller
General or State Treasurer. We desire to
refer to the article for tbe purpose of adding
that we know of no mao io tbe State who
could fill either office more creditably or
with more honor. Personally, we can in
dorse him as a high-toned, honorable gen
tleman, of tbe strictest integrity, and we
feel satisfied that it the people would en
trust him with either office they would not
have a more faithlul official iu the State, or
cue who would serve them better.
Sports for Gills.
In view ol the results of recent election o ,
politics just now are at a discount. Th'*v
ire unprofitable, flat, indigestible. We turn
from them, and in lieu of the usual treatise on
«nme hemilitical question, we propose to
make some remark* on sports for girls, a*
anggested by the following from the Macon <
7 e/eg i ap/i:
Angn-ua congratulates itself on having
•ecnoed a velocipede which n gtrj rid"
gracefully. Girls have ridd* n the old style,
hut the practice never became popular : it
rather takes the poetry ont of motion for a
man to have hi* girl p iss him at the rate of
forty miles an hour with her knees beating a
tattoo on her chin.
It is a sonree of congratulation that 90m°
one has at last invented a machine ‘‘which a
girl can rid".” Heretofore everything ha°
neen secured for the hoys only. It has been
considered ‘‘naughty” for girls to participate
in ont door sports, and if they dared to
brave public opinion und take a run in the
woods, or a romp in the fields they were sure
to be called "fast.” And the young girl
who ventures to take a ride upon that Au
gusta velocipede will no doubt become the
subject of almost as much adverse criticism
as the celebrated widow who lias just com
pleted the trip from Philadelphia to New
Orleans nnd beck.
But the old fogies who torn up their
noses at the girls of this day must remember
that this is an era of progress. Old things
have been put away ; new things—new ideas
—new practices and habits have come to
the front. In former times girls were con
tent to stay at home, and found nil the
plmsure they desired and all the comfort
they needed ; but now it is different. This
is an age where a ‘ new departure” is an
every day thing. Girls are not now what
they once were. Now, we have female doc
tors, and female lawyers, nod female printers,
while far back in the past, it would have
crented one of the hugest sensations had a
lady made known her desire to be a lawyer
or a doctor.
Exercise is essential to health. Pure air,
and plenty of it, must be hud. Girls need
air.and exercise as well as boys. They are
capable of excelling the boys in many inno
cent games, nnd should not be deprived of
the privilege of doing so. It a velocipede
can be so made as to allow a comfortable
scat for a girl, there is no tangible reason
why she should be debarred the pleasure of
showing her skill in this way. If her cousins,
or sisters, or her aunts object, let her throw
down the gauntlet of battle and challenge
th'tn to excel her if they can. There is no
barm in it.
Nor should she be expected to be a wall
flower at home, as this woo'd disqualify her
for the duties of a wile or to shine in society.
No; croquet, and other out-door games,
give health and vitality to the system ; they
are the foundation of robust vigor and solid
strength, whereas in door solitude, oo nutter
bow enjoyable it may be, is accompanied
with too much effeminacy to excite admira
tion or arouse approval.
This much we say in behalf of the girls.
On the Shelf — The Atlanta Constitution
has this paragraph anent the result of tbe
New York vote:
The general conclusion of the Democratic
papers is that the result shelves Mr. Tilden
ns hopelessly as the result in Ohio shelved
Mr. Thurman ; but Mr. Tildon’s particular
friend* will undoubtedly claim that he i* the
only Democrat that can curry New York.
There are n great many who regard the
result of the election in New York as a final
disposition of Mr. Tilden. It laid him out
Hatter than a cold pancake ; and it seems to
us that if he hus the sagacity that is claimed
for him he will no longer aspire to a posi
tion he enn never get. That is the sensible
view a great many take of this “vexed ques
tion.”
For Grant. —How Southern Democrats
can in any way enter into an agreement to
support Gen. Grunt for the Presidency is a
puzzle to right thinking men. He has no
sympathy for the South. He regards every
man a rebel deserving death who took part
in the war of tbe States, and bis whole
course while President exhibited the bitter
ness he felt for our people. Our people need
expect nothing from him. It is therefore
surprising bow Southern men can talk
about joining the North iu hts support. Out
with it.
The YY'ashingtou Pod says there is no
effect of the Grant "boom” more prominent
or significant than its reviving influence
on the members of the various rings that
fattened on the spoils of public robbery du
ring the er* of good stealing. Spring
sunshine affects reptiles very mnch as these
men are affected by the return ot “the great
est living American.”
All Quiet. —Nearly all the prominent
fairs of the State have been held, and tbe
people are returning to their everyday
avocations, more than ever pleased with tbe
exhibitions of Georgia thrift, aud sulfeficd
that the State has fully recovered from the
effects of "Shermau’s March to tbe Sea.”
Won t do. —The Cential Georgia Weekly
asks—“ How would Hendricks and John
Keely do?” Not at all. The Tammany
Sachem comes too near filling the require
ments of a first-class Radical for the people
iu this seclioo. Hendneks has had his day
—failed—now let him step down.
“Honor” Transferred.
A« the old mule has been arrested in a
neighboring corn field, the honor thus for
feited must be transferred to other suhj>cts.
The King cannot receive additional honor,
ns he is now upon the pinnacle of fame; hot
I am sure that more scientific means can be
employed tn facilitate his empirical mode
of government. Other King* have resorted
to various means of bringing their subjects
: ntn reverence ; then why not advise King
McVicker to adopt the following plan :
Call into requisition a first-class wood en
graver: let him chisel ont n -lile-sizo statue
of the King and place the °ame at the outer
gate fronting his palace, (log cabin.) with
arms extended, carelessly holding in its left
hand a copper-Colored crown, npon which
shell be dimly written “Honor to whom
honoris due;” with its right hand firmly
grasping one end of a medium -ize fence rail,
the other end pointing skyward, upon which
shall be indelibly written, in shining letters,
-Death to old mules, and other helpless sub
jects of my kingdom.”
And now I proceed to answer McVieker’s
Inst scurrilous publication, as though he
were a private citizen and not a King.
Ist. He states a falsehood when he claim*
the authorship of his side of this so-called
controversy I admit that he copied the
manuscript on Sunday, but the real author
of the Inst papers is the same reverend gen
tleman that McVicker employed to assist
h'im in his wicked attempt to substantiate
his false charges ; and now I assert that they
both speak lalsely iu the same breath when
they say taut I was found gui'ty ; for I wis
cleared by the committee, and McVicker
was reprimanded for bringing false charges
against me. The incredulous can go to the
records of the church for the truth of wbat
I say.
2d Hp told an untruth when he said that
I went home from church and unmercifully
wh'pped my children, so as to “excite the
indignation of every one in the neighbor
hood ” Now I promise this, that if he wijl
get five of my nearest neighbors, (outside of
Sodom, that is hi* own kingdom.) who will
say to the readers ol The Weekly, over
their own names, that I am an unwelcome
resident here, then I will leave in twenty
days, Until he does this he will be held
before the public as guilty of doing me gross
injustice. I make this promise without
knowing the feelings of my neighbors, for I
do not try to excite them over this matter
as McVicker does. Bat this I know : They
all meet me with a genial countenance. I
discover no frown upon their brow. As
to McVicker, he cannot look into my face
long enough to make a trown
It is now seen that he cannot carry on
this quarrel without invading the sanctity
of the home circle and trying to bring dis
grace upon some innocent child. I could
say much in reference to his family govern--
ment, but I have no desire to do so. I will
say, however, that with all my short
coming* and fault*, which I agree are many.
I have never been accused of things which
McVicker was in his young days, and which
I may be forced to refer to if this thing eon
tinues. O. wbat a “bulwark” is the charac
ter of A. V McVicker i
3J. He further prevaricates in saying that
my children carried nu three bushels oi peas
from his house to plant, and the idea of
stealing any of them is too contemptible for
me to notice. Just see how he goes for the
children !
4th He falsifies in saying that he never
wrote burlesques only upon the school
house door. They can tie seen in other
places He also wrote them on paper.
sth. He al*o shows utter disregard for the
truth in reaffirming the club axe “episode.”
Ami let me say here that the word "episode”
is so familiar to those who have heard A. V
McVicker’s umunnensis talk that they are
at no loss to know from whore limited
vocabulary it came.
6th. He further equivocates in saying
that I proposed to make my son Wesley
thrash him I said, "if nothing else will do
you but a fight I will get some little boy to
thra-h you. YV s'ey wanted to do it yester
dav, but I would not let him ” So he
brings Wesley in. Is he not a whale after
children ?
7th. He told an untruth when he said
that I mistreated his child, or his old mule
llis children did attend my second school
term until he had to put them in the cotton
field, at which be expressed his regrets, and
said that he would pay ten dollars toward
building me a new school-house, and would
put three children in school during the next
year. As to paying my doctor’s bills and
other obligations, I can only say that if 1
had remained with McVicker, as be desired
me to do, I could not have paid them ; but
I have made a comfortable living this year,
and have puid some debts that 1 could uot
pay last year, and I think I can find shelter
in this vicinity until my debts are all paid,
during which time I shall have to endure the
persecutions of A. V. McVicker ; lor his un
yielding malignancy was fully exemplified in
the case of our lamented friend, Willis Calla
way, who unfortunately was a subject of this
“king of terrors” for one year, during which
time he was shamefully abused by A. V.
McVicker.
In conclusion allow me to lay down the
following propositions:
Ist. In my honest opinion A. V. Mc-
Vieker is a coward.
2d. A fool.
He is a coward because be will not resent
the iusults of well to do men, but wreaks his
vengeance on the innocent, or unmercifully
whips “the old mule.”
He is a fool because he thinks be can
plaster over his own meanness and st<engthen
bis “bulwark” of character by slandering
others.
Doubtless, the publication of these papers
will be very unpleasant work for our worthy
editor, as he is known to be a very prudent
man ; but, occupying the position be does in
this land of liberty, where freedom ol the
press is allowed to every citizen, be wiil pub
lish them without being in the least degree
responsible ; consequently uo blame will at
tach to The \Y t ekkly or its exet lleut editor.
I have never dealt so severely with any man
before, aud would hope never to be under
the necessity of doing so again, but tnis de
pends upon the shape in which A. V.’s next
article comes before me.
1 understand McVicker speaks of takings
stick iu place of the pen, (with which he
copies). If this be so, it will place me under
the necessity ol carrying a ladder, and 1
never have carried weapons ; but if he un
dertakes to fight me, I shall climb after him
sure, if I can get a ladder. JI.
Judoe John I Hall.— Among theable-t
men in the General Assembly which closed
its session a few- weeks since *»s Hon Jno
1. Hall, of the county of Spoldinsr Judge
Hall represented the county of Upson in
the first Demociatic Legislature that a=-
sem''lod af'er the war—the Legislature of
1871 2--nnd wu* a leading member of that
body. He was the House Chairman of the
famous “Bond Committee,” the labors ol
which relieved the B‘ate of millions cf
fraudulent indebtedness. When bis ferm ex
pired he was appointed by Governer Smith
without nnv solicitation on his part —
Judge ot the Flint circuit In this posi
tion—which he held for eight years—he
won an enviable reputation as an upright
Judge. He resigned to take a seat in the
General Assembly of 1878-79, where he
rendered valuable service on the‘Judiciary
and Riilroad Committees. Asa member of
the latter he was the principal author of the
bill reported by the committee, which,
though rej'Cted by the House, was adopted
a* to its main lea'urea by the Senate and
incorporated in the measure that finally be
came a law. Judge Hall is in the prime of
life and we shall be greatly mistaken if he
i* not h-ard of again in the political history
of the commonwealth which he has served *•
ably and patriotically id the past.— Augusta
Chronicle.
W m McElhenny was arrested last Fri
day night for horse stealing and is now in
jail for the off,use. He took a horse ami
buggy belonging to one of the young Mr
Waldroupes, and was overtaken with them
in his possession at or near Brooks Station.
We are sorry to say that Me. is a
prioter by trade, and has been guilty of so
many irregularities heretofore that he does
not receive that sympathy in his present
trouble which he otherwise would. Bad
company and whisky has helped con
siderably to bring this disgrace upon him
self and family, and they will sooner or later
do equally as bad for others if a speedy
change is not made —Griffin Sun.
Genhkal Grant bus received but one in
-uit si ce he commenced his tour across the
continent. While saying a few words to the
crowd that greeted him at Galesburg, lowa
—and lowa is to the Republicans what
Georgia is to the Democracy—some irreverent
individual discharged an over-ripe egg at
the ex President, which exploded on his
cheek. A reward of SIOO was promptly
offered for the apprehension o! the black
guard, bat he was not discovered. If Gen
eral Grant comes to the Democratic Soul h
he will not be subjected to any such indig
nity.— Augusta Chronicle.
