Dirt Town, Ga., July 30, ’7‘2.
Mr. Editor:
i should have replied to my friend
j Hill’s long and spicy communication
to the readers of the Adtertiser be
fore now, but tiave been sir.ee the ap
pearance of his communication quite
ill. I now propose to review some of
his statements, and also correct some
of his mistakes.
The gentleman made some explana
tion* in relation to the expense of the
election anti jury t ickets, just as I e.v
peeled. What right had the Ordina
ry to send a constable to //ay wood to
superintend the election four days at
$3,00 per day? I had as much right
to send a bailiff to Summerville as he
had to send one to Subligna. How
would it have looked if I had have
sent to Town a bailiff to superintend
• the election there ? Everybody would
have said I was not using the econo
my that I should with th# people’s
money. The Ordinary had no such
tight, and counting $12,00 for this
young man, he pretends I made a mis
take. I made no mistake, anti I re
peat. the election at Subligna only
j cost $75,00.
The Ordinary says there were three
extra juries last year— on a fare count
the extra jurors or th : new jurors
that were added to the old panel did
not take the 8723. Why did lie not
tell bis readers what become of the
; $252 paid under Judge Harvey's or
j ders? Why did he not tell his road’
j ere how long the two persons were
i it: jail at <»0 cents per day? and also
! the lunatic at $5.00 per month, which
cost the people $282? Why did he
i not tell Ins readers what case Haw
-1 kins and Gamble were employed in?
i Why did lie not tell his reader* why
j it was that he paid Milton R r hit.es2o
i damages—White’s damage case was
j not before the jury, nor did they »-
ward him anything. Why did the
Ordinary not foot each fiscal year’s
receipts and disbursements, and show
-the people his stewartship without be
coming so excited? It is an old ad
dage, and a true one, '‘that a gaulded
horse will wince under the lash.’’
The Honorable Ordinary says that
tny “calculation made from the re
ceipts of 1871 was over an average of
the six years since the surrender, and
that 1 should have noticed the differ
ent amounts it took to make the sum
of $42,49 45 as given in the receipts
for last year, the sum of $355,50 paid
in by former Tax Collector, which
was not any part of the tax for last
year.” In my calculation I left out
the $358,50, to have taken that a
niount into the calculation it would be
$20,496 70, instead of $21,990 70.
So you will perceive that 1 made the
calculation from the proper receipts
for 1871, which in my judgement was
not over an average year since the
war.
Again, my friend Hill says “that I
ought to have known under Gov Jen
kin’s administration State tax was
1 only three-tenths of one per cent.
! and in ’66 the county tax was only
! 25 per cent, on the State tax, and in
j ’O7 50 per cent, was levied on the
j State tax. Since that time the State
I tax has been four-tenths of one per
i cent, and the county tax ranged from
150 to 100 per cent, as was required
by the several Grand Juries to make
the improvements.” Now I under
stand from this statement that 25 per
cent, was levied for 18G6 and 50 per
cent for 1807. Now three-tenths of
one per cent would be $36 on a tax
paver of $12,000, and 25 per cent
on that for county purposes would be
$9, which wotHd be $45 on the tax
payer of $12,000. This 25 per cent
: would bring to the county SI,OOO. —
j Then 50 per cent would* be $lB for
j county purposes, which will bring to
] the county Treasury $2,000. Now
■we have $3,000 for county purposes
under Gov. Jenkins administration.—
Since his administration the Ordinary
says that “four-tenths of one percent
was levied for State tax, which will
make the tax payer of $12,000 pay
to the State S4B, and 100 per cent oti
that will be S4B, which will makes9G
paid from the tax payer of $12,000.
This 100 per cent or S4B on the sl2-
000 will pay into the county Treas
ury over $4,500 for 1868, and the
same calculation for 1869 and ’7O
would be over $13,000 and the 924
per cent for 1871 will lip over $3,800.
SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA. FRIDAY, AUGUST 16, 1872.
Now add the sums together you will I
have over $20,000 paid into the county j
Treasury since the surrender. I ap- i
prebend my former calculation of 21- j
990 approximated very nearly to the j
true sum.
Now let us see what improvements |
have been made: We all know that !
two bridg.s have been built across
Chattooga river at a cost of 3,800 dol-!
lars, mu 600 dollars paid for the i
bridge across big Armuohee, and 400 i
for the bridge at Dr. Cheney’s, which i
will make 4,800 paid out for bridges.
Add to this 1.800 for the jail you will
have 6,600, and 400 for improvements
on the Court-house w ill make the sum
7,000 dollars. Add to this 1,200 for
for jury tickets and bailiff’s certifr
cates will be 8,200 dollars. The elec
tion eqpenSe and Judge Harvey’s or
ders 562 dollars you have 8,762 0C
dollars which embraces all the large
items that I now remember. I may
be mistaken in my calculations, but in
my judgement it approximates very
nearly to the receipts and expend -
tures. But, when I examine the
books, which I propose to do, at the
Ordinary’s invitation. Then I can
give to the public a correct statement
of the whole matter.
The Ordinary says that lam an
“aged man, and that my record is
known to he an authodox Radical.”
I know that I am an old man, but yet
a pretty close observer in money mat
ters. Politically I have always been
a Union man , opposed to secession and
every thing that pertained to this un
natural, unprecedented and wicked
war, my skirts are clear of the blood
that so profusely flowed from the best
and bravest men on earth.
I had congratulated myself writb the
idea that I should hear nothing more
of Radicalism, when it is fully ascer
tained that the so-called Democracy
are going to vote for the embodiment
of Radicalism. Everybody knows
that //orace Greeley was always an
abolitionist, and has done more and
said more, and had more influence with
the American people for emancipa
tion than any other man in this na
tion. Everybody knows that lue had
mote influence with Congress in the
passage of the Reconstruction acts
than any other man in America.—
Everybody knows that Horace Gree
ley was toremo. t in bis advocacy of
the 14th and 15th amendments. Eve
p body knows that lie not only ndvo>
valid civil and political rights, but
now ad o ales social equality with
the negroes. Everybody knows that
lie lias been a life-long high tariff mail,
and now if be had it in his power he
would prohibit the importation of for
cign goods at one dash of a pen.—
Now if 1 was w rong in the support of j
the Reconstruction acts, my friend I
//ill is now - wrong for supporting the
great leader of Radicalism. If I had
have said as much as some gentlemen
have about Radicalism, scallawags,
carpet-baggers, and negro equality,
and then coolly vote for Greeley, I
would hide tny blushing face.
Now, in conclusion, I have tried to
make my calculations so plain that
any tax payer can make his own cal
culation from his own tax receipts.—
Three-tenths of one per cent makes
the tax payer on SI,OOO pay three
dollars to State, and so on for every
thousand dollars worth r,f property —
25 per cent on that will be 75 cents
for county purposes. Four-tenths of
one per cent is four dollars on the
thousand to the State and 100 per
cent on that will be four dollars, which
will make eight dollars on the thou
sand. All that is necessary is for the
tax payer to look up his receipts for
the last six years and see which is
right, the Honorable Ordinary or my
self. There can be no barm in ascer
taining the true statement, as every
tax paver is interested to the amount
of his tax. If the Ordinary has done
his whole duty in the proper inanagei
ment of the finances it should be his
delight to show his constituents his
acts and doings, without being so
much irritated. Public men or pub
lic property and their acts are subject
to the severest scrutiny and criticism,
and it is propei that they should be.

Boston, July-31, 1872.
Mr Dear Sir: 1 have the honor
to acknowledge by this note, in addii
tion to ohr conversation to-day, the
receipt of your invitation to address
the citizens of Lvnn on Thursday evei
ning, in support of the re-election of
President Grant arid the policy of his
! administration. No invitation could
have greater weight with me from any'
part of the country, nor from any
portion of my fellow-citizens, and it
Btj*' great pleasure to assure you
that nothing could be added to your
suggestions, as the representative of
the citizens of Lynn, to induce me to
accede to your request.
Their kindness to me many years
since Is a continuing lily remembrance
and nothing would give me greater
satisfaction than to renew my associa
tions with them, but I regret to say
that I am not in accord with them in
regard to the Presidential canvass.—
Against my wishes and mv personal
interests, 1 am compelled to believe
and to say that the perpetuation of
the present policy of the Government
is not for the advantage of the coun
try and that it will not tend to estab'
lish its former good aud prosperity,
nor to promote the interests of any
class of citizens. No personal feel
ing of any form or character enters
into this judgment. It is in view of
general principles and public inter
ests alone that I am led to this con
clusion.
The uniting of the masses of the
people of all parties, sections and ra
ces in support of the grand results of
the war is indispensable to the perma
nent establishment of the general re
cognition of those results. It can be
secured by no other means.
We shall be forced to this conclu
sion sooner or later.
United action upon this basis has
been the hope of my life. I fervently
desired it during the war, and in the
reconstruction of the States subse
quent to the war. I believe that it is
now tendered in good faith iri the
nomination of Mr. Greeley, and for
one I cannot reject it. It is what I
desired, and its consummation, ah
though sudden and startling, does not
alarm me. My duty to myself and
my country requires me to give him
my support.
1 canuot advocate ydtir
friends a different course,.w-hSch nei
ther my judgment nor jriy"heart ap
proves.
It grieves me most deeply to'sepa'
rate myself in %r act from
any of those with whom f have been
so long associated, anil to wlimit I am*
greatiy indeb*?ee, GoUr ‘-JUi <<,■ that
the result will justify my action;gtve
to the country that peace and pros
perity which is the object of all our
labors, and secure to every citizen
civil and political equality, and the
freedom which was won’by the sacri
fice of so many valued lives. Accept
the assurance of my lasting friend
ship and esteem, and believe me,
yours, Ac. N. J’. Banks.

Clover.— *F all sown clover has suc
ceeded admirably when sown early
enough. From the middle of Sep
tember to the middle of .October is
the best time for sowing. Select red
laud; old land with the surface soil
washed away and the red clay exposed,
will if properly broken jip and ma
nured make admirable clover. Pul
verize the soil thoroughly. Now is
the time to begin the preparation.—
When the pioper time arrives sow the
seed, and brush in, pass the roller
over, as the very young plant is liable
to perish from the surface getting too
dry, if it is not pressed down s6mc
what after being ploughed. Super
phosphate is a specific for the clover
plant—but here as elsewhere stable
manure does admirably.
[From the Auburn (N. Y ) Democrat
Grant to be Sued.
The following letter was written to
George L. Watkins, Esq., who resides
in Scipio. The writer is no less a
personage than ex-Mayor and late
Postmaster of the capitol of the Uni
ted States, Sayles J. Bowen. It will
explain itself as well as one of the
dishonest acts of him whom the Re
publican party have elected to the

Washington, July 18, ’72.
£?. L. Watkins, Esq :
Mv Dear Sir: I was much pleased
to receive from you your kind and en
couraging ietter of the 15th inst.—
You are right in stating that I know
something of General Grant’s busi
ness qualifications as well 4s his char
acter for honor, honesty, and truth.
1 had a business transaction with him
in which lie cheated me out of twentyi
five thousand dollars with a coolness
and deliberation that would do credit
to any blackleg. In the mail that
carries this letter I send a copy of the
| Transcript , a paper published m this
city, containing an article relating to
the transaction alluded to, every word
of which is true, as I stand ready to
prove by Grant’s letter and the origi l
rial contract in my possession, in
deed the Transcript has dared the
Grant papers here and elsewhere to
deny a single allegation in the article,
which they have not had the temerity
to do, as everybody in Washington
knows it is true in every feature.
I intend to prosecute Grant 3 .Yore
our courts, and have made arrange
ments to commence suit against him
! at the next term, when the whole mat-
ter will be shown up to the world in
evidence that cannot be disputed.—
This affair is only an index to Grant's
private character. He is a miserlv,
sordid man, and will resort to any
thing, evasion or invasion of law and
justice, or anything else that an hon
orable person would despise, to put j
money in his pocket. By his specu- \
lationsin Seneca stone rings and other
scandalous jobs, through bis military
coterie about the White House, his
presents, and farming onto! official
positions he will leave the Presidency
on the 4th of March next as rich as
a Jew and as infamous as he who be
trayed his Lord and master for thirty
pieces of silver. ITis habits are of
the worst possible kind, and his asso
ciates of the lowest order. Indeed,
his instincts are low and vulgar, and
he is never so well satisfied as when
in company with horse jockeys, smok
ing cigars, drinking whisky, and “talk
ing horse.” Demoralization and cor
ruption are the order of the «day in
all sections of the country, and these
have their origin in the White House
and at Long Branch. Examples set
there are followed by their parasites
until their influence has ramified every
town and county in the nation. Gree
ley will end this in a trice.
Your friend, kc.,
<V. J. Bowen.
The Levees of the Mississippi.—
The levees of the Mississippi have
been a constant source of danger to
land along the banks of that river,
and indeed for many miles inland.—
At the best of times they were con
stantly giving way: Since the war
they have bepn entirely neglected in
many places, and the rising waters
annually overwhelm some of the South
west. Southern papers are now argu
ing in favor of anew plan for stay
ing the ravages of the swollen river,
il’licy say that the system of levees is
false economy. The river bed is con
stantly becoming higher on account
of them, until at last, if it is not stop
ped, the river will run on a natural
so much above the surrounding
irnitritry as to be incapable pf proper
restraint. The right way to control
these waters is to connect the river
by canals with the various neighbor
ing rivers and water and with the
Gulf. These would carry off all the
surplus waters, and at the same time
form new arteriesjof commerce into the
whole interior cotton regions of the
South. Floods would he impossible,
and the means of agriculture would
be infinitely increased. The diffusion
of water surfaces thus caused would
also be a great benefit to the quality
and quantity of produce, taking one
year with another. The facilities of
transportation would also be infinite
ly augmented and canal boats propell.
ed by steam, it is supposed, would do
the great burden of the carrying trade
twice as cheap as either railroads or
steamborts are now doing it. This
would be a magnificent system of
canals if it could be put in operation
as proposed, and would doubtless
work a revolution in the commerce of
the Mississippi Valley, if not of tho
world.
The Factory Girl.
Writing from Boston to the Chi
cago Journal, a correspondent re
lates the story of such mutations in
a life as may he considered charac
teristic of American experiences. In
1865 there came to the metropolis of
New England, from Penobscot, in
Maine, a young orphan girl, who, af
ter vainly striving to mantain her’
self comfortably at home by school
teaching, had decided to essay the
fortunes of a UatrU*ry gii I in » Jailer
city. Entering llte Hoop-skirt man
ufactory of a private firm in Boston,
she devoted all her energies to a
' mastery of the business, that her con
finement to mere drudgery might not
be long protracted, and this to such
efiect that in a year's time she was
promoted to the position of saleswo
man. In two years more her superi
or mental capacity and practical tact
made her the chief saleswoman of the
establishment, ind through this last
position she was brought to the ac
quaintance of a certain rich Califor
nia merchant buying good for his
store in San Francisco. The ac
quaintance matured into a mutual re
gard of a graver nature. The girl,
well as she was doing, had a woman’s
naturaly earning for woman’s domes
tic kingdom and when the Califonian
closed iiis business account for the
time by asking the saleswoman to go
back with him to San Francisco as
his wife she yielded a graceful assent.
After a quiet wedding the two de
parted together for the Pacific coast,
where the ensuing four years were
passed with all the harmony and
prosperity requisite for the smooth
est progress of married life. The
wife now of a rich man, and the pos
sessor of abilities and personal come
liness to grace a high social station,
the former factory girl assumed a
J commanding position in the society of
■ ■■■ —BBnaWI 1111 Mi H—»
her new home, and became a leader
in matters of aristocratic taste and
fashion. After four years, the Amer
icanism of her destiny found tragic
demonstration. Some months ago
her husband was tempted into one of
those extravagant mining speculations
which are the bane of Caliafornia, and
entered too deeply to be able to with
draw before the inevitable collapse
and crash. In a few hours of sinking
values lie was dragged down from
wealth to poverty, and revjngod him
self upon fortune by committing sui
cide. The sound of the fatal pio«n>
shock awoke the bereaved wife from
her four years dream of happiness and
plenty to the old r eality of her girlish
homelessness and want. The expen
ses of the self-destroyer's burial left
her with barely enough remaining
from recent wealth to secure her re
turn to Boston, where she is once
more working for a livelihood as
though the Californian episode had
never brightened her existence.
Solitude. — //ere is something for
that class of business men who prefer
to keep their goods and wares on their
shelves rather than appear anxious to
sell:
A young merchant who is trying to
struggle along in a falsely economical
way, took a class in a Sunday school
recently. During the progress of a
lesson lie asked, “What is solitude?”
and was visibly disturbed when a mis
choivousboy promptly answered, ‘The
store that don’t advertise.”

The Greensboro Herald says:
Remarkable Family. —There are

all been married, and all have been

Three of them have their second hus

Is There a God?
How eloquent does Chateaubriand
reply to this inquiry:
“There is a God I The herb of the
valley, the cedars of the mountain
bless Him; the insect sports in his
beams; the elephant salutes Him
with the orb of day; the bird sings
Him in the foliage , the thunder pro
claims Him in the heavens; the ocean
declares//is immensity; man alone
has said, “There is no God!” Unite
in thonght at the same instant the
most beautiful thought in nature;
suppose that you see at once all the
hours of the day and all the seasons
of the year; a morning of Spring and
a morning of Autumn; a night bespan
gled with stars and night covered
with clouds; meadows enameled with
till nn.i iLr-r,’- v ~-ich wrniiv j j
fields gilded by tints of Autumn, then
alone you will have a just conception
of the Universe. While you are gaz
ing upon the sun which is plunging
under the vault of the West, another
observer admires him emerging from
the gilded gates of the East. By
what inconceivable magic does that
aged star, which is sinking fatigued
and burning in the shade of evening,
reappear at the same instant, fresh
and humid with the rosy dews of
morning? At every instant of the
day the glorious orb is at once rising,
resplendent at noonday, and setting
in the West; or rather our senses
deciove us and there is, properly
speaking, no East, West or South in
the world, everything reduces itself
to a single point, from whence the
king of day sends forth at once a tri
ple light in one substance. The bright
splendor is perhaps that which nature
can present most beautifully; for
while it gives us an idea of the per
petual magnificence and resistless
power of God, it exhorts at the same
time a shining image of the glorious
Trinity!”

Radical Pludering in Washington-
Tjie l’ittsburg Post says: “Since
Washington City has been in posses
sion of the Radicals, it has, as a cor
poration, been the scene of most
unmitigated stealing. The last de
velopment shows that under a resolu
tion appropriating six hundred doila •»
to grade one of the streets, $230,648,-
30 has been expended, for the evident
purpose of improving the value of tho
real estate belonging to the Chairman
of the Street Commitee ! The debt of
the District has grown $9,500,000
within a few months, and will doubt
lest go on increasing ad infinitum.
Stealing really seems to bo the normal
condition of Radicalism, whereves it
exercises its baneful influence. Cities,
counties, States, and the General
Government, all in their turn or alto
gether, have undergone this bitter
experience.”
The Crooked “Straights ”
The handful of malcontents who
have had the termerity to call a con
vention of nobody but themselves,
will have a delightful time of it fight
ing their old comrades, and ninety
hundredths of those opposed to Grant.
Certainly the only sympathy they
are entitled to, and can claim, is from
the ranks of the worst enemies who
ever battled against the South. Why
form a half coalition only, which will
place you in tho condition of those
who, being “neither hot nor cold,”
will be spewed out of the mouths of
the entire nation? Have you consid
ered the matter, gentlemen, and ob
tained your final consent to give a
half vote to Grant, by refusing to
support Greeley or running another
ticket? Is it possible, too, that you
have the cheek to suppose that all of
the patriotism and intelligence of the
country is concentrated in yourselves ?
Verily are we tempted to repeat for
you the vulgar proverb, “llow we ap
ples swim !” Os tho “immortal few”
who have thus rushed against tho
bosses of the united Democracy, we
know but little. One of their num
ber, however, an ex-member of Con
gress, was recently an out and out
Greeleyitc, when the Convention met
in Atlanta to send delegates to Balfi
raore, but has always been notoriously
a Seward man, and great at ground
and lofty political tumbling. An
other was Kimball's “right bower”
and in Southwest (J-eortrin. T
and a tiiird boasts that even Seymour
and Blair were not “straight” enough,
to suit his Democratic stomach, albeit,,
lie himself proved so “crooked” in
the race for Legislative honors, that
he ran hundreds of votes behind tho
party and got tkrought by the skin of’
his teeth only.
But we sh-iil wage no war against
these deluded and mayhap disappoint
ed individuals. Let them “severely
alone,” and they may get so lone
some that for mere company sake,
(hey will fall into line, and swell with
their voices the choral thunder which
shall hail Horace Greeley President
of the United States.— Macon Ted.
Famine and Cannibalism. — Many
facts have been given of the lato
dreadful famine in Persia, but one
incident is now related so intensely
horrible as almost to surpass all belief,
although seriously mentioned in tho
Levant Times. In the Persian city
of Flamatan two women, aided by
seven others, stole three children and
ate thc-m. They were arrested, and
the bones of the dead children found
partially concealed in their clothes.
The Graud Vizier condemned the two
women to the gibbet, and their com
panions in guilt to death in prison.
At the end of a week five of these
seven wretches were found dead in
the prison, after having devoured the
other two.
