Rf«ctkd.—The only object now squinted at in setting apart the 27th instant for thaoksgiviog, is to rejoice that the people of Massachusetts hare again rejected Beast Butler—spewed him out of their mouths— set their heels upon him—triumphantly sat down upon him. Out of Congress, out of office, the man who voted sixty-thru times tor J efl Davis lor President, aud then became the South’s bitterest foe, can have leisure to repent of bis manifold wickedness in and out of public life. Be is a hard case, sure. 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.

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.
