Smith. The Secretary of the Treasury
assem- j tainlv has a hobby, and that hobby is
ble in Atlanta on the lOiti of April counterfeiters. His whole attention

to “many men of many minds.”
A bile was passed by the Legisla
ture of Tennessee on Tuesday abolish

Atlanta leads the procession when
it comes to “foundlings.” Three of
the little unfortunates hare been taken
in and'eared for in the past three or

There are men whom our people
this statement in
canrais is to be nar
rowed down to Boynton and Bacon—
a fact of which we are not yet assured.
Of one thingVe are certain,howerer—
the people of this section, both white
and black, are rery much engaged just
at this time with the practical and ma
terial affairs of home life and business,
and hare no desire to be dragged into
anything like a heated political con
test Such contests, in this portion of
the Slate, where the colored element
predominates, are demoralizing to
labor, and our people are in no coo
ling dcad-locks now so
conventions everywhere, particularly
where the delegates are left to them
selves free from the seductions and
blandishments of rings and com
binations, npon what name could such
a convention of Georgia Democrats
unite with more unanimity and con-
cord than any other in the State? We
may be mistaken, but we firmly be
lieve that a chorus of the entire State
would say—the Hon. Wm. E. Smith
of Albany. And what are his particu
lar claims to this or any other office ,
endeavor-
to perfect such a style of coinage
a3 will render counterfeiting impos
sible. Having, as ho thinks, reached
the desired end id the five cent or
nickel piece, he has turned his at
tention to the abominable three cent,
and it now transpires that, by a
ruling of his, all the nickel
pieces of the denomination of
three cents issued since 1867 are un
lawful. He has ruled that there shall
be a disignation of the value or the
face of all coins, and that the mere III
on the three cent nickel piece does
in the gift of the people of Georgia? j not designate its denomination—
We will name only a few in detail,and : whether it means three cents, three

The Gubernatorial canvass promises
to reach the lively fracas state yet.
The woods are full of “dark horses,”
and every one of them has a local fol
lowing that will be hard to convince*
when the convention meets.
Judging irom what we.see in the
papers and hear from Atlanta, a reac
tion has taken place, and Governor
Boynton is not so sure of a walk-over
as be had reason to be a week ago.
The ‘Mark horse’’ men are evidently at
work—and their name is legion.
Why all this quibbling over Gover
nor Boynton’s title? Technically speak
ing, he may not be Governor, but prac
tically and common sensicaJUy speak
ing, he is Governor, nevertheless, and
must be recognized as snch by the
people until his successor (or Gover
nor Stephens’ soccessof. if you prefer
it) Is elected and qualified.
James Jones shot and killed his
wife in Oglethorpe county Friday.
They had .been married four years,
she being only eleven years old at the
time of her marriage. Aflor his mar
riage Jones assaulted his mother in
law and left the county. After three
years absence he returned, and upon
bis wife’s refu*al to live with him, he
killed her. He was arrested, and
tried to commit suicide in jail.
Judging from recent event*, it setm*
as if our Southern women are about
to resume their ante-bellum position—
the highest in ihe land. Uncle David
Davis came South fora wife, and ex-
Govemor Sprague, of Rhode Island,
swoop? down on a Virginia lady and
bears her away. Who knows but
“Chet’’ will be down this way next?
We don’t blame the hoys, for who
can resist a pretty Southern woman?
Ms. S. C. Elam publishes a card in
yesterday’s Atlanta Constitution in
which he says: “I am authorized by
General Phil Cook to say ho with
draws his lotc letter declining to be a
candidate for Governor at the ensuing
election, and that be now leaves the
matter entirely in the hands of the
people and the Democratic convention
soon to assemble.” This places Gen.
Cook, as we understand it, in the fie d
as a candidate for the nomination. He
will have a strong following from his
old district.
would like to see honored with the
Democratic nomination, and for whom
they would be willing to make any
sacrifice; but they do not feel any such
interest in the political preferment of
either Col. Boynton or Col. Bacon.
Neither of these gentlemen have any
claim upon cur people; and as the
personal acquaintance of each is lim
ited in this section, this indifference
upon the part of our people in the
pending contest between them is nat
ural. No or.e has anything special to
urge against either of them, and neither
gentleman appears to have any very
zealous 6upportors in the field.
But the vote of Southwest Georgia
i3 not one to be safely ignored, and if
olid ly cast, as is generally the case,
it may decide the fate of any aspirant
in the field. The claims of this sec
tion, however, have been overlooked
or treated with such slender regard, by
conventions and caucuses, as to cause
a feeling of indifference to spring up
among the people, which might be
mistaken for want of strength. But
give u.« a candidate upon whom South
west Georgia can rally with enthu
siasm, and we guarantee confidently
such a boom in his favor as no candi
date has had 6incc the war. Such
candidate would be the Hon. Wm. E.
Smith, for whom a solid South and
Sou hwest Georgia can be safely as
sured as a fact beyond quest'on.
What other man in the State could
enter the field with such a followin
The immigration statistics for the
year thus far do not compare favora
bly with those of last season. The
total number for the eight months
ending February 28,1883, was 30 ),484,
and for the Fame period of 1882, 375,-
093; showing a decrease of 74 609.
In order to stimulate business, the
steamship companies hare reduced
their rates, but the anticipated effect,
as yet, is scarcely perceptible. With
the advance of the spring, however,
doubtless there will be greater activi

A “Russian’’ in the ifew York Sun:
“Do they torture political criminals in
Russia? Prince Krapotkine ^avs some
of the regicides were submitted to tor
ture by electricity, and all St. Peters
burg says the same thing. It is also
generally known in St. Petersburg that
Karakozoff, the first would-be regicide,
was prevented from sleeping for sev
eral days until, in his unconscious
stale, he revealed his name. It is
known also, that prisoners are some
times dosed with poisonous drugs, and,
while ui dejr their influence, are induc
ed to reveal th«*ir secrets.”
“Thek* is a young man in Athene,
about 20 years old, who is ‘bright and
well educated’ who never heard of
Alexander H. Stephens, and didn’t
know that such a man was Governor
of Georgia.’’— Banner- Watchman.
** rr We should like -a definition of
“bright and weil educated.’* And
yet Mdlle. Rhea had never heard of
Gen. Lee until Senator Hampton gave
the requisite information.—Augusta
Chronicle.
These “bright and well educated’’
young men seem to be numerous
about Athens. One was unearthed
the other day who had never heard of
Tete Smith; aud, if the mine con
tinues to bo worked, we expect to
hear of one who never heard of
Lydia Pinkham. This does not speak
well for tho University City, and the
board of trustees should look after the
chair of history.
The people of Southwest Georgia
are taking precious little interest in
the present race for Governor. They
are planting their crops and have no
time to fool with politics.—Atlanta
Phonograph.
All true enough, neighbor, but
they do a deal of thinking at tne same
time. The politicians may go ahead
and fix up the slate to suit them
selves, but when the 9th of April ar
rives, you will see some of these same-
horny-fisted fellows on deck. They
are willing for Atlanta and the poli
ticians to do all the blowing, but they
will have a finger in the political pie
when the time comes for business
Do not “lay the flattering unction to
your soul’’ that these farmers will re
main quietly at home, and let you
gerymander the convention. They
will be there, “and don’t you forget
it.’/
Queen Victoria slipped her foot on
the stairs at Windsor on Tuesday, and
sustained serious injuries—so serious
indeed, that the English nation is in a
commotion. There is great uneas £
ness throughout the city of London,
and the bouses of Parliament are
crowded, business bouses have-closed,
and woikmen have suspended labor In
their eagerness to learn tho news.
Queen Victoria is to day the most con
spicuous political figure on the globe,
aud her death will be regarded with in
terest by all the nations of the world
She is not only a great political figure,
but »he L a good and great womat,
and her death would be lamented the
the world over. It is to be hoped
that her injuries may not prove so
serious as is feared, but the tone of the
dispatches lead us to expect the worst,
on account of her increased age and
Scandal-Monger Journalism.
The News and Advertiser has
more than once alluded to the grow
ing tendency of Southern journals to
publish obscene and demoralizing
sensational stories. What good they
expect (o accomplish by this course is
past comprehension.
The professed mission of all res-
pec'able journals, after fit at furnishing
the current news of the day, is the
elevation and improvement of man
kind—the dissemination of high-toned
and improved literature—such as can
be safely introduced into the famii-y
circle, and commend itself to the vir
tuous of both sexes. This, we say, is
the professed object, but .what do we
see? Leading journals—papers whose
conductors claim fo be leading spirits
in educating ihe masses, flooding the
country with a class of literature—
the recital of such stories and scandals
of lascivious love and murder, as would
bring r blush to the lowest habitue of
a rat pit.
The republication of the Dukes scan
dal at Uniontown, Pa., by some of our
Southern pa t ers, with the particulars
of the libertine’s success in accom
plishing his purpose, followed by in
sulting letters to the father of his vic
tim, and the subsequent murder of the
outraged parent by the cold-blooded
villain, is a case in point, and is only
referred to as such. The words and
actidns of the libertine are given with
painful particularity, and when his
hellish purposes arc all accomplished
these so-called enterprising and pro
gressive journals scatter this disgust
ing storj f broadcast over the land for
our young men and women to read.
Enterprising and progressive indeed!
It is the enterprise of satan and the
progress of lasciviousness.
It is an insult to virtue an^ a great
wrong to the young of both sexes, and
if public opinion cannot frown it down
we would hail with gladuess so mb
scheme that would bring discredit
upon such journals. We favor the
liberty of the press, but we do*not be
lieve the press has any more right to
insult virtue lhan a common individ
ual. It is a great wrong and should
bo suppressed. '
Law and Morality in Pennsylvania
The readers of the News and Ad
yertiser will remember that a few
days since we entered a protest against
the publication of obscene literature,
and cited the Duke? scandal nt Union-
town, Pa. We could nor pollute our
columns with even a synopsis of this
infamous affair, but sufficient light was
given to enable the intelligent reader
to arrive at the facts. A more das
tardly murder has never been commit
ted on this continent. It was unique,
and perhaps the very novelty of
the whole proceeding—the audacity
of the man Dukes, appalled the jury
who tried and acquitted him. How
the fiend’s life can be protected is a
mj’stery to Southern people, who
would never have disgraced their
courts with the matter. But he was
accorded a trial and acquitted before
the country of-crimes that should have
sent him to the stake. *
The citizens have- $mrn{ ffira in effi
gy and rf>straci£ed the jury who tried
him, and doubtless will rest at that,
and allow Dukes, who is a member ot
the Legislature, to take his seat, and
becomefamous. Such pusillanimity is
sickening to any but the highly pro
gressive and enlightened people of the
North—the keepers and purveyors of
morality and religion. It is a reproach
upon .society, that the monster is al
lowed to live—a licensed libertine, a
conceded murderer and a reproach to
mankind.
Let women be brought to habits of
industry and economy and learn to
suppor/ a husband, and the tramp
nuisance will soon cease.—Exchange.
Just what we’ve been saying all
along. The lack of industrious habits
among women is the cause of all the
trouble, and the sooner we get up a
reform the better it will be. Now,
when we consider that a woman has
nothing to do but cook a little hash,
wash the dishes, scrub and sweep the
floor, straighten up the room, dress
the children, wash a few clothes, split
a little wood, nurse the baby, gather
vegetables for diuner, milk the cows,
strain the milk and churn, wash the
pots, feed the chickens, sweep tho
back yard, polish the stove, weed the
garden, wipe the baby’s nose', mind
the, pigs—pshaw! To think of the
idle things is enough to drive any
man to tramping. : Put them to work,
or what’s the use of being the lords of
servation.
1st. He redeemed the Second dis
trict in 1874 from the thraldom of
Radicalism in its worst form, by de
feating its arch champion and head
centre Richard H. Whitely, after he
had been given np as invincible.
2nd. Three successive terms of as
honorable and efficient service as was
ever rendered by a representative of
the State in Congress, the benefits of
which are felt now all over the State,
and particularly in the Second dis
trict
3d. His being the only member of
the entire Georgia delegation in the
Senate and House, to vote against and
oppose persistently throughout, the
infamous electorial commission bill,
that Illiad of woes unnumbered, to
the Democracy of the whole Union.
4th. HU successful and endur
ing efforts in harmonizing and bring
ing together all the discordant politi
cal elements in the Second Distrct,
whereby order and harmony have been
evolved out of a chaotic political
status that threatened at one time to
make a San-Domingo of the best and
fairest portion of South and Southwest
Georg’a,
5th. His entire freedom from
even a suspicion of connection with
any and all rings, cliques and combi-
binations, to whose baleful influences
so many of our latter-day placemen
and stateixnen are indebted for their
elevation to offices of trust and
power.
Gtlu The proud position he has
always occupied as a non-office seeker,
and never even as an aspirant for po
litical or other preferment, but having
been always called from retirement
to act as leader of the forloru hope,
and invjriably to success and vic
tory.
The above are only a few of the
prominent passages from the career of
the Hon. Wm. E. Smith that are
familiar to all Georgians, and would
of themselves constitute a record
such as few, if any, of our public men
can show. A very cursory review of
his congressional career, however-
would enable one to extend Ihe list
almost ad infinitum. One might, in
fact, hold up to view his entire public
and private record as a scroll, and
invite and challenge the closest scru
tiny. Of how many other prominent
names now before the public could as
much be sair ?
ficials say also that the three cent
nickle piece can be counterfeited as
successfully as tlie new five cent
nickel, and can be as readily circu
lated, when gilded, for a |3 gold coin
ns can the new five cent coin, when
gilded, be passed fer a $5 gold coin.
Daring the last fiscal year there were
coined 1,080,575 three cent nickel
pieces, and altogether about 30.000,-
000 have been been struck. It looks
now as though there is no alternative
bat to call in all outstanding three
cent pieces of the stamp indicated.
We enter our protest against the
effort now being made to narrow the
contest down to Bacon and Boynton.
—Eatonton Messenger.
The web that those two factions
are weaving is exceedingly fine, but
unlike the one in fable, has two en
trances and as many winding &tans;
and at either* entrance the siren songs
are wafted to the dear people: “Will
you walk into my parlor?” No doubt
the Bacon and Boynton organs think
it is a good joke, but we have already
seen what is in that gauzy chamber
and will none of it. .Fust wait till the
people get a chance to shoot off their
mouths in convention, and we will
see where the laugh come> in.

The South Georgia vs. the Angnsta
Melon.
With various and sundry smiles of
complacency have tee witnessed the
watermelon strife between McIntosh
and the Augusta Constitutionalist.
Full well we knew that Me. could hold
his own in the contest, and let him
fight it out. Had we becu interview
ed, however, we could hare furnished
persons and papers to prove that the
Sou'h Georgia melon is not only three
weeks earlier than the Augusta melon,
but that onr latest crop sold in New
York and Boston last season right
along side of the first picking of the
Augusta melon, being preferred. In
reality, however, there is probably lit
tie difference between the Sou*h Geor
gia and the selected liichmond county
melons, except that ours are larger,
finer shaped, sweeter, healthier and
and three weeks earlier. Were we
able to do so would put our Richmond
county friends in the way of making
good melons. In fact, it they’ll send
Mr. Walsh down to see us we’ll show
him how its done.—Quitman Free
Press.
The wager has been made, and now
the reputation of the South Georgia
watermelon is at stake against that of
the Augusta melon, brother Perliam.
We give you notice now that we
shall count on you for the melon with
which wn expect to overwhelm the
Atlanta Constitution editors and re
tire Col. Walsh to the shades of pri
vate life—so far as the watermelon is
concerned.

The Legislature of Missouri has
parsed a high license bill which the
Temperance part of that State consider
substantial victory. Under its pro
visions the application for a license
must be made to the County Court,
an d the issuance of the same can
come from no other source. The law
requires that tho application must be
accompanied by a petition containing
two-thirds of the assessed tax-paying
citizens in towns containing 2500 in-
habitants or more, and also that a ma
jority of the assessed tax-psying citi
zens'in the block or square in which
the saloon is to be kept shall sign a
petition asking for snch license in
snch square or block. The same re
quirements also hold in towns of lesser
number of inhabitants. Women, if tax-
prayers, count the same as men. The
lowest figure for a license is $503 a
year for State and county purposes.
The license granted does not cover
Sunday, and compels the keeper of a
saloon to keep His place closed on the
first day of the week, under pain of
forfeiture of his license and a heavy
fine as well. The law also imposes a
heavy penally for the sale of liquor
to habitual drunkards, or persons to
whom the saloor. keeper has been not
ified not to do so by a member of the
family. _
The trial and conviction of the two
negroes, Johnson and Echols, for the
killing of Walter Rountree, will be re
membered by onr readers. An appeal
was taken to the Supreme Court, and
a' final hearing waa had on the 20th.
Justice Martin J.Ciawford delivered
the opiniou of the court. The errors
complained of were that the verdict
was contrary to law and evidence.
Justice Crawfoid in his opinion said in
effect, that “this court does not con
sider errors iu evidence, arguments,
etc., but simply the evidence submit
ted to obtain a new trial.’’ The evi
dence was then carefully reviewed,
and the court could riot concur in the
opinions of counsel for the accused,
but held that under the law JohBSon was
guilty in the first degree as principal
of assault with intent to murder, and
Echols as accessory in the second de
gree. The defendants had been joint
ly indicted, tried and convicted, and
the evidence alluding io one alluded
