The Great Issue.
Il cannot be concealed that great issues
ore on tapis. It will not be denied that we !
are on the eve of stirring times. It must he
acknowledged that the next year, the begin
ning of which is but little over a month off,
will develop events that will tell with start
ling power upon the destinies of this country.
All this Is plain. It stares ns fn thfc face,'
and we should prepare for it. I low ?
Is'. The time will soon be here when the
Democracy of the country will, through their
representatives in convention assemble:!,
select a Presidential leader to curry their
standard ia tbe campaign. This will be a
difficult question, on accoont of the diversity
of opinions und views entertained by those
whose cluims will be presented. Some ure
for ‘ hard” money ; some are for “golt"
money—thus the two elements will be
brought into conflict. All this will cause
discussion, out of which will grow discord,
and consequently some man will be nomina
ted with nothing else to recommend him bat
bis availability. Tbe convention will be
composed of good men—the best men of the
party—men who are honest in their opinions,
candid in expressing them, and feailcss in
advocating them Bui men front the North
will be there ; and men from the East and
the West, and the South, will he there
from every section ; and hence every Stale
will have its favorite—every section its can
didate, who, in tbe opinion of Ins frie ds, is
tbe most proper person to be nominated.
2d. Now, in such a condition of affairs,
what should be done ? 'Hie reply is ready.
“Self preservation,” whether relating to men
or parties, ia the first law of nature ; and
this precautionary measure should betaken
in hand, and tbos not only save the party,
but also save tbe country. What is this
precautionary measure ? We answer again,
in our own fashion : Tilden is a failure ;
he cannot carry his own State. Thurman
failed in Ohio. Hendricks will not play
“second fiddle,” and Ire is unable to lead.
McDonald, Seymour, and a multitude of
others—all gallant, able, distinguished lead
era iD civic life—and Hancock, distinguished
us a soldier—are all more or less objectiono
ble. as holding views at vuriance with tbe
opinions of our own section. Who then?
Bayard, of Delaware, is certainly tbe man
for the times. Honest, able, capable, there
is not a weak point in him Nor ore we
alone in this preference. Others—many—
believe that Bayard is tbe coming Moses
who is destined to lead the Democracy into
the polities! Canaan, or the Joshua who
shall fight the next Presidential battle.
Pursuing this lioe o( thought, an exchang"
says :
“If the Democracy will act wisely and get
ready to come out of the wilderness in which
it bps been straying for the past twenty
years and take up its neglected principles
once more, it cannot do better than nominate
Mr. Bayard. But it need not carry hitn the
nomination with any notion that il is doing
him a favor. He will do it a great favor if
he accepts its nomination, for his acceptance
will he evidence to the country that the
partv is once more striving to become
worthy of puhjic confidence and that it has
made up its mind to live clean aud return to
Democratic principles.”
So echoes Tuk Weekly. While it will
lend all its aid in the election of the man
who may be selected as the nominee of the
pprty, we are thoroughly convinced that
Senator Bayard would more fully meet the
approval of all Georgians than any other.
We repeat, that while we thus stute our
choice, it will afford us great pleasure to
support any other good man who may be
nominated. If we caonot get our favorite,
we will cheerfully assist in electing ’.hut of
our neighbor.
False —A man culled Rowmar., and
claiming to be a member of Congress from
Massachusetts, in a recent speech uttered
this unfounded calumny:
“The moment Federal bayonets and tbe
hand of the Government are withdrawn from
the South, there is an intiinidution that sur
passes tbe intimidation of the war. This
Administration said, we will take you at
your word, and withdraw every Federal
bayonet ; send your Representatives to Con
gress, and we will pot you oo Uriah Wbut
is the result f Every wind from the South
brings tidings of massacre, tntdotgbt robbers
und sbot-guu murders, until liberty is crushed
out."
And tvery gale that sweeps from the
North copses laden with stories of crime
koown only to oar people through the me
dium of the Northern press. But we do
not falsify the record by charging, as Bow
man does, that the whole population is
wicked and vile and corrupt. We place tbe
wrong at the proper door. Poor Bowman !
be earns big pay.
Explanation. — Brother Haoleiter ex

lasi issue as follows :
W« say w« will uol vote for Grant, aud
we mean it. We say we are opposed to a
dictator, or any other than our present form
of government, under tbe constitution, and
we mean it. What we did mean by the
expression, “if we are to have a dictator and
bow our neck to shy lock rule, give us Graut
in preference.” etc., was that if that was tbe

Our Peeksville Letter.
Mr. Editor: —Many farmers of this sec
tion ate depressed lo an alarming degree in
consequence of the damage to cotton by the
frost. J. B Bostwick, one of our mode!
farmers, thinks bis crop will fall short ten
bales; Uncle Buck Wynn eight or ten
bales; J. 11. Leguin six, and Thomas Stew
art, one among our best un i most intelligent
farmers, just over the line in Butts, thinks he
has lost hs high as fifteen bales. lam sat
isfied that a fraction over one-fourth of tbe
crop through this part of the county was
destroyed. Most of the farmers are going
to adopt a new plan next year: Instead of
trying to fill a boa ‘.bat has a 2 inch hole in
tbe bottom and only 1 inch at the top. they
are going to reverse tbe box and let nothing
go out at the bottom unless something is
comii gin at the top. This we regard as an
excellent idea, if it can only be put in exe
cotion. E T. Wynn thinks that “Agri
cultural clubs,” “Hints to farmers,” “Atten
tion farmer*,’’ “Look to your interest, farm
ers,” that we so often see in the papers, are
all bosh. His plan is to “plow deep while
sluggards sleep"—to move uronnd lively, to
“git no and git,” or anything to make tbe
pony go. He has determined, however, that
tbe early bird may catch as many worms as
it cun gobble up, he will not be ooe of the
early worms to be caught.
Mr. Jack Mathews, who was so hard to
get to the marrying poiDt last Spring, col- ,
looted his year’s wages, and eighty dollurs on
a horse that he had sold a few days since
put the money in his pocket, informed his
wife that he was going to Dr. Wynn’s, de
posit the money with him for safe keeping,
and make arrangements to live with the Dr.
next yea.. He utver went that way, and
has not been seen or heard of since. He is
now advertised as lost, strayed or stoleu
His wife is without a home, peuuiless, and
truly an object of pity.
Mr, Sam Mays’ house, together with two
bales of cotton and a greater portion of the
furniture, and all the wearing apparel of the
family, were consumed by fire on the 22d
ult. The fire originated in the upper story
of the building. lie will soon have another
ready for occupying, as be is a boy of con
siderable pluck. Proclus.
December 3d, 1879.
“Truth is Mighty and Will Pre
vail.”
As my bewildered antagonist faiVd to
appear on time, and the mule’s ‘grand
mother” came to the front, I supposed the
war was over, ami that the angel of peace
would soon unfold her balmy wings over us
Under this impression, I forwarded my card
to the printing office last week, ns can be
seen under the k ng’s last proclamation. In
that card i expre>sed my deepest sentiments.
But, to my amusement, and tbe utter disgust
of many, he again shows his towering hed
above his • bnlwark,” with his conscripted
legion at his back. B-t we will examine
his master roll : First, the name of M. C.
White appears, who says he never author
ized MeVicker to use his name as be did.
If be was not low with fever 1 would get bis
certificate to that effect. 1 hope tbe public
will excuse him Next appears the name of
B Massey. And who is he but a pour.
Illiterate boy, living at McYieker’s ; and
just see how tbe poor boy’s name is butch
ered up ! First, it is B. Massey, and farther
bis
down the column it is Berry >4 Massey. I
mark
pity the poor boy, and hope he will avoid
the like hereafter. Next comes A. J. Uob
kle, who lives some distance away. I have
oo't seen him, but as he is a good fellow, I
suppose he will explain tbe cause of bis name
standing in opposition to so many good utea.
Last ae have James T. Welch, wbo says be
did not understand what be was doing, uod
hands me the following certificate: “I here
by certify that I lived at Mr. McVicker's
when Mr. Hill did, and found them both to
be clever men. As to wbat has been pub
fished about the club-axe, 1 know nothing.

murk
So the power behind the tin one has with
ered into insignificance, and tbe unplumed
mouareta is dteadtElly exposed As 1 pity
bioi. 1 would ask if bis writer willfully lead
him into this dillemma, or did he through
with the evidence, and to render a decision
io my case.
“I hereby certify that A.Y. MeVicker
failed to support his charges with evidence,
and G. A. FI ill was acquitted.
(Signed) Rev. Wx M. Motto an,
“I hereby certify that as A V MeVicker
failed to support any part of his charges
against Bro Hill, we. the committee, ac
quitted him. and he was immediately recom
mended to the Annual Conference, and has
since that time labored as our pastor on the
Henry Circuit.
(Signer!) Rev. J. N. Belcher
“I hereby certify that in the case of A V.
MeVicker against'G. A. TTfll, there was no
evidence against G. A. Hill, and he was not
found guilty.”
(Signed) Rf.v. H. G. Andrews.
And after all h n says that he proved me a
liar to the satisfaction of all present.
It is remembered that A. V. said in a
former article that we took three bushels of
peas from his honsp, and in his last article
he says I entered his field and took several
tarns of corn ; and now he says I have re
turned both peas and corn. Now let os see :
A minister called at our humble home late
ia the evening. I went into my own undi
vided crop and gathered 50 ears of com for
his horse. Half of the corn was certainly
my own, and I supposed it would all be
right, although I seldom take such liberties.
When I saw A. V 1 told him the circum
stance. and he said it was all right. This
was the first and last corn that I took from
the 6eld until the crop was gathered, and
when I gathered my corn I forgot to pay
him. He called on me for it, and I promised
to carry it home, hut on learning that he
accused me ol stealing it, 1 sent him word
that I would not carry it home until he re
turned my plow-’ools, that he hud been using
nil the year. Thu? the matter rested until
this quarrel commenced through the paper
when my friend Pritchett told me that I bad
better send it home, as MeVicker was going
to advertise me, and in the presence of Mr
Pritchett I started the 25 ears of com, to
gether with 3% gallons of peas that I had
gathered and had not turned over to him,
to their destination, with the request that he
return my tools. He accepted the corn and
peas, but retains the tools, and now I ask,
was that three bushels of peas, or several
turns of corn ? And yet he says, “I returned
both peas and corn.” O, how contemptible
are bis contradictory statements !
Again, 1 would ask if it does not seem
strange that a Conference of wise men would
convict a man lor lying, and immediately
clioo-e him for their pastor ? As such 1
have acted this year, and as a result have
received over 30 members into the church.
1 say this with due reverence. Or if he
gained his case, why did he try to ap t eal to
the Annual Conference, where he persisted
in his attempt to urraign me again, until he
became a laughing-stock, or ao object of
pity to all that body ?
And now I will close by appending a few
certificates that the kind neighbors have
handed me. Here is one from a gentleman
whose veracity cannot be impeach'd.
“I hereby certify that I have been ac
quainted with Rev G- A. Hill for 4 years,
aud I have never kuown a finer man in all
my acquaintance.
(Signed) J. T. Wallace.”
The near neighbors who are said to hare
lieen disturbed by me, come forward, of their
own accord, (i having forged no name.) and
hand me the following paper :
“We, the undersigned, hereby certify that
Rev G. A. Hill has lived in onr neighbor
hood for two years, during which time we
have found him to be a quiet man, and while
he continues to act as he has done we assure
the public that he will be a welcome resi
dent here.

Many have tendered their certificates, but
space will r.ot be asked fot their introduc
tion. I must, however, return my thanks to
them, lor “a friend in need is a friend in
deed and dull as I an., naturally, I can
appreciate the favors of a friend, and now I
ask the mercy of the court, as tbe pleadings
are ended. Some good has been done. My
opponent has learned to speak tbe words
‘ episode” and “substantiate” very fluently,
and may eventuully learn to construct a sen
tence incorporating tbe words consanguinity
and seduction
He says tnat be has known but lew “sor
rier’’ men than Hill. In reply I can say
that there may be worse men than Me., but
among tbe millions ot eartb there is not
another like him ; nor among the millions of
mules is there another like ‘ Hob nor did I
ever know man and mule so well matched.
1 end this foolish contest with the best of
feelings toward all mankind. If 1 know my
own heart, 1 desire to treat all men with
kindness, and if my oflended brother will let
me live io peace 1 will never barm him.
May peace abound, and love coutrol the
uctions of all. Amen! H.

The Chief of the Bureau of Statistics fur
nishes a statement, which shows how greatly
the export business of the United States has
increased and how much the balance of trade
is in favor of this country. The excess of
the exports over the imports of merchuidise
during each month from January to August.
inc!u«ivp. for the year 1879, was leas than
fbr the corresponding months of 1878 The
aggregate excess ol exports o( merchandise
from January to Angiist, 1879. amounted to
$1401}85 688, as against an execs for the
same time for the year 1878, amounting to
$188,605 224. During the moo hs of Sep
tember and October, however, our exports
of merchandise have again increased, exceed
ing those of the corresponding month of 1878
The total excess of the exports of mer
chandise during the months of September
and October, 1879, amounting to $61,278.-
221. as against an excess during the months
of September and October, 1878, of $40,-

during the month of October, 1878, of $28,-
138 092 The vdue of imports during the
month of October, 1879, was larger than
during any previous mouth in the history of
the country. The excess of tbe imports of
gold and silver over tl>e exports of gold and
silver at all ports from July Ist to October
31st 1879, amounted to the sum ol $51,-
853 679- The excess of the imports of gold
and silver over the exports at the port of
New York from November Ist to Novem

Grant’s Old Leather Store —The store
is situated on Main street, running back to
Commerce street, it is a four-story build
ing, fhe front of Milwaukee brick, and now
occupied as a jewelry establishment by J
Coatsworth <fc Son. Mr. Coatsworth built
it and an adjoining store in 1857, after the
great fire, (lor Galena had a great fire once)
and he still owns it Jesse 11. Grunt, father
of the General, occupied it as a leather store
from 1858 to 1860, and during the winter
of 1859-60 Ulysses cleik -d there. It spoils
a story, and il mav seem iconoclastic, bat
the truth is that Ulysses S. Grant has' no
title whatever to the name of ‘ the Galena
tanner." There is not now, and there never
was a tannery in Galena. Jesse R. Grant
dealt iD hides- and leather, and had a
enrrying establishment in the rear of the
Main street store. The General may have
worked at currying leather, though the
burden of proof on this point rests with tbe
affirmants, for the testimony obtainab'e all
goes to show that he simply clerked at bis
lather’s store.
Anyhow, he had no more to do with tan
ning than a Chicago elevator proprietor has
to do with growing whe.it ; and thus, in
the stern light of fact, one more of tbe cher
ished illusions of the age vanishes jnto
nothingness.— Galena Corr. Chicago Tribune
The House Where Grant Lived Before
the War. More interesting than the store
is the house which General Grant occup : ed
in 1859- 60. and which is in precisely tbe
same condition now as then. It is a small
two story brick, od High street and is now
occupied by a family named Keithlv, who
hud lived in it since last March. On the
lower floor there is a double parlor, a bed
room and a kitchen, and up stairs there are
also fonr rooms. It is a plain but comfort
able brick cottage, in very good Older, and
with care, may last a century. In this little
house the fumily of Genral Grant re
sided for six years (1859-64) but it need
scarcely be remarked that the Genernl was
not at home all the time. The bousp rents
for $9 per mouth.— Galena Corr. Chicago

Georgia bonds are worth to-day as much
as those of the United States, and are as
eagerly sought for by capitalists. She bag
recently readily disposed of $200,000 of her
fnnr-per-cen». bonds at par. These were
issued to pay a similar amount of eight-per
-cent, bonds falling doe. Eight years ago
her seven-per-cent, bonds were selling at
twenty five cents below par. These four
per cent, bonds are of as low denomination
as five dollars, and they circnlate us money,
thus supplementing tbe national currency
This is a fine stroke of financial policy, and
