The present status of business in the city is
very refreshing. All the live retail merchants
are enjoying a fine trade, while the wholesale
merchants have all they can easily attend to.
From many of the heaviest of them we learn
that trade is very much heavier than at this
time last year, and a little larger than the year
before. The country merchants are buying
freely.

A cautious observing business man has sug
gested to The Capitol man that the corner
stone of the capitol was laid on bricks. The
writer was not present at the exercises and does
not know anything about it, but if our inform

been made, for the mortar and bricks are cer
tain to crumble and the articles deposited in the
tin box will mold and deface. All of the impor

How fast a mistake of any known or leading
man travels ! When a report has gone the
rounds, it becomes so distorted as to lose any of
its original meaning. The scandal-monger and
the news-gossiper whet their scythes and start
out mowing down every blade of grass that is
exposed to view. But it is wrong, all wrong,
and the golden rule should be remembered ; and
in any such cases you should speak kindly of

stin The Capitol bowls along at a booming
rate. Our eight-page issue of last Saturday
and this one of to.day has proven to the people
our facilities for grappling with large editions
of this nature. Outside of the morning paper
The Capitol is the only paper in the city that
has an eight-page newspaper folding, pasting
and trimming machine. There is, however,
some very heavy work put on the paper, and if
health permits there is a big reserve force of it
left. We thank our friends fortheir kind assis
tance, our patrons for their liberal favors, and
our enemies, if we have any, for their unpleas
ant remarks. We will strive hard to merit your
approbation and confidence.
The legislative sketches, the initial number
of which have been published in this issue,
together with cuts of some of them, are worthy
of preservation. They are rough hewd as it
were, simply thrown together as most daily
newspapers work has to be done, but they con
tain data and information which will be of value
for reference as to our public men in the future.
Os some of the members who live in re
mote parts of the State it is hard to col

letters to their friends to secure sufficient re

That is a good joke that is told on one of our
jolly, good Matured (not veteran) auctioneers
who, a few evenings since, went to visit a rela
tive and when he entered the house and parlor
he saw as he supposed his relative and walked
up to her and gave the lady (who proved later
to have been a perfect stranger to him) a good
square hugging and kissing. The mistake was
discovered a second after when the right lady
walked in, and the astonished auctioneer t urned
around and saw the husband of the lady he had
embraced scowling at him. ’Tis needless to
add that explanations were in order, or that the
next time that auctioneer enters he will first*get

The project of a ballet composed of sixty

the showmen to-day. Mrs. Francis B.
Thurber, wife of the millionaire merchant
and anti-monopolistic politician, has plan

American-born singers altogether. She

scale. Mrs. Thurber insists that every
performer on the stage shall be an Ameri
can. She was told that it would be im
possible to get one of that sort. She had
already placed a native chorus in training,
and she said that she would institute a
school of dancing to graduate a ballet by
the time they were required. Moreover,
every pupil should be of undoubtedly good
morals. She would not be persuaded out
of this part of her undertaking, which is
deemed ridiculous by old managers, but
is lauded by the lady’s enthusiastic
friends. It is said that a premier danseuse
of American birth, though of Italian train
ing and foreign stage experience, has been
'secured; but the coryphees and other
members of the ballet are to be produced,
if possible, from reputable New York girls
willing to go into such employment.

C. W. Motes & Co., the saddlers and

with the wants of the people in their line
of harness, saddlery, fancy bridles, rugs,

can be found the latest wrinkles and nov

They are manufacturers of

periorquality of their work and the beauty
and utility of the goods they turn out from
their establishment. All their goods are
well made and everything is positively as

and when competitors hearthat Motes is

One thing that staggers them worse than

The senior member of the firm is an old
hand at the business, having served forty

JUDGE LONGSTREET.
A VARIR SKETCH OF OCR GREAT
GEORGIA HUMORIST.
Dr. Rob Morris of LaGrange, Ky.. Tells His
Granillo Memories of the Author of
Georgia Scenes.
Courier-Journal.
With A. B Longstreet his face was an absolute mask.
There was no indication whatever of the ' coining jest,
and when it came it was accompli sited with such seri
ousness voice and manner that its effect was half lost
upon tiie hearer. You were not sure but the old preach
er meant it simply as an anecdotal illustration to a re
ligious exhortation, such as we hear from the average
pulpit. Spending an evening in his cqjnpany, and re
calling his conversation afterwards, I am amazed to see
how totally I missed the nub of his best puns. He is
the only jester in all my acquaintance whom I recollect
as a serious one.
Born in South Carolina or Georgia, there is some ques
tion which, this celebrated scholar and preacher gave
us his natal day of September 22,1800. He died at Ox
ford. Miss., 1870, leaving behind him a lasting impress
ion as a ripe educator, a fine jurist, and a thorough
Christian gentleman. My acquaintance with him be
gan in 1850, when I was his guest at Oxford. He was
President of the State. University there, and very popu
lar as a teacher among Southern youth. 1 had taken
part in the corner-stone proceedings of the university
building. July 4. 1846, and felt more than ordinary in
terest. in the prosperity of the school.
1 was struch with the interest the students took in the
one book of their president. As n rule, 1 think students
are not prone toadmire the literary efforts of their in
structors. The professor of theoiogy, Dr. Waddell, had
written a number of works clearing up difficulties in
Scriptural interpretation, but 1 did not notice that the
students carried them round in the pockets in hours of
recreation. This, however, could not be said of “Georgia
Scenes,” the admirable production of President Long
street. Every student had two copies, one for show, the
other for use. 1 tried several students with the question :
“May 1 look at your 'Georgia Scenes!’” And the
amusing book was promptly forthcoming from the near
est coat pocket. In truth. President Longstreet was far
from being proud of his popularity as its author. Like
our Governor Knott (he will pardon me the illustration)
although he so largely owes his reputation to bis one
speech, the Duluth Crystal, yet upon the whole he pre
fers that his friends shall not quote it too frequently in
his presence. Longstreet gained his reputation from
that one book, oi e of the most presentations of iocal life
ever written. It made him a popular lawyer, after grad
uating at Yale in 1823. It raised him to the dignity of
judge of the Sperior Court. It, advanced him rapidly to
theological promotion when he abandoned the bench for
the pulpit. It elevated him to be president of the Uni
versity of Georgia, and when the trustees of the State
institution of Mississippi looked around for a fitting
person to organize ami govern their m hool, the reputa
tion originally based upon “Georia Scenes” gave to its
author a place over all other applicants and secured his
election.
T remarked that the students were ardent admirers of
Longstreet’s book. Thiswasseen particular; in their
written compositions. Their trial essays and gradua
tion pieces abounded with quotations trorn “Georgia.
Scenes.” In their debating exercises, Kick Spival and
Ransy Sniffle were charade’s more popular, by far,
than Cicero or Shakespear. The best horses in the liv
ery stable at Oxlord bore the names of Bullet and Old
Kit. The physical contests of the boys, bo.doting at
times upon rudeness, were but duplications of the cele
brated tight between Bob Durham and Billy Stallions,
so graphically described by Longstreet in bis book. In
the periodical altercations between the young bloods
i;nd the faculty, sometimes verging upon insurrection,
the leaders in the imbroglio assumed the names oi “Oba
diah Snoddleburg.” “John Squeez-d fault er” and “Noah
Bills.” by which honored appellation theyi.ro seen to be
enrolled in the college records. The very evening 1
spent with the president he showed me an anonymous
letter he had just received, in which under a rudely ex
ecuted but remarkably faithful portraiture of himself
hanging by the neck, dead, some disgruntled youth had
scrawled a passage from his “Character of a Native
Georgian,” as follows : "Humor has been your beset
ting sin from your youth. It has sunk you far below the
station to which your native gifts entitled you. It has
robbed you of the respect of all your acquaintances, and
what is much more to bo regretted, the esteem of some
of your best and most indulgent friends.” And yet few
men at the head of such institutions ever proved more
popular or successful than Judge Longstreet.
1 have some notes from the hand of Hon. James M.
Howry, of Oxford, Miss., a State trustee of the
ty under the presidency of Judge Longstreet, in which,
in affecting and eloquent words, he schetches the great
Southern humorist as he appeared in his last years.
In this connection he quoted the classic, “Annis gravis
atque aniini maturus” —“ripe in wisdom, grave and
venerable for age.” No one conversing with President
Longst eet in an ordinary way would have detected the
vein of humor which originated the Georgia Scenes.
But in private, the doors shut, the company properly
selected, then the latent springs were tapped, and it
was given us to see in his sprightly and diverting c»»n*
versation that if Longstreet h in exj)ended_2 |
genius upon other and higher Ilonin . TiG <erl
illustrations would not have been inferior to those of
Walter Scott himself.
In conversation with the author of “Georgia Scenes ’*
I found him sensitive to criticism on t'ie . >re of the
profane and vulgar expressions with which his South
ern stories were interlarded. It i.- report.’! tluft in ear
ly uays hi’ had been subjected to'Sharp animadversions
on this subject. His associate preachers upon the cir
cuit, in their petty sphere, had literally skinned him
alive for the “d—nst” the “dod darn your so’nls,” the
“God bless yous.” the ‘‘rot your cowardly skins.” “ly
ing sluts,” and similar phrases so freely used in his
narratives. The p.esiding elder had solemnly -passed
judgment upon their impropriety, and even the bishop
(Pearce), in his pleasant manner, while he confessed
that he “enjoyed reading Brother Longstreet’s 'Scenes’
above all other merely secular productions,” suggested
that they were calculated, in that one particular, to
give offense to weak souls, and thought that an expur
gated edition might remove all cause of complaint,
Longstreet, in the preface to his first edition, makes the
only explanation that he ever did offer on the subject,
and it is certain that he permitted no expurgating or
mutilating of his stories. He said that, having pub
lisned a number of them in one of the Georgia papers,
‘heir popularity was so great that he could not resist
the importunity of the people for a complete issue.
“To. those who have taken exceptions to the coarse, in
elegant and sometimes ungrammatical language which
the writer represents himself as using, he icclares that
it is language accommodated to the capacity of the per
sons to whom he represents himself «>’ speaking.”
And in a note to “The Character of a Native Georg
ian,” he adds“l should certainly omit such expres
sion' - as this could I do so with historic fidelity, but the
peculiarity of the times of which i am writing cannot
be faithfully represented without them, in recording
things as they are, truth requires me sometimes to
put profane language in the mouths of my characters.”
This explanation, however, did not satisfy all his
church friends nor. to tell the truth, does it- satisfy me.
If Judge Longstreet had literally copied the conversa
which be repot ted at those fights, races and fox-hunts,
the language would have been totally unfit for publica
tion. He gives the profanity, but omits tin* indecency.
In our pleasant interchange of thought I pointed him
to Shakespeare, who quotes the sniutj but omits the
profanity: then to Sniollet, who inserts both, and asked
him «Inch he deemed the worst? His reply was a la
bored vindication of his method, which lie considered
the only one thai fairly depictured the popular charac
ters he was describings Dickens, however, who went
into strata of humanity very much lower than Long
street ever saw, avoided indecency and profanity both,
and put words into the mouths of his ruffians and prof
ligates such as may be read in any company.
I conclude with the remark that those who went to
Oxford to see Judge Lonstreet always looked to find him
cranky and eccentric. It was expected also in his ser
mons and public addresses that he would give out
strokes of humor and flashes of fun to irradiate his sub
jects Such persati* were invariably disappointed.
“He arose before us,” says a life-long friend, “grave
and serious. His words were measured. His argu
ments were cold, logical, conclusive, ai d I do not re
member a single sally of wit emitted from his lips.”
