The Atlanta Constitution of Friday
"estimates” a majority of 325 for Mr.
Ball in the Ninth Dlatrlot; but as its
oettmatsfc apply to half tbs counties
of the CUlxkt. not yet beard from,
we still fear that the announcement
of Mr. Bell’s eleritfoy* was premature.
A Washington special says the Tress,
urer of the United States can now sup
ply film coin in reasonable amounts to
bankers and others in exchange for
legal tenders, fractional currency or na
tional bank notes; Jbe e*pr<*Se
ways to bs paid li/'the party sending the

The Atlanta Constitution states that
Treasurer Renfroe has concluded an
arrangement with the Fourth Na
tional Bank of New York by which
the temporary loans required by the
state during the year and In antici
pation of the taxes are made by that
bank at the rate of six per cent per
annum. This is the lowest rate at
which the state has been able to ob
tain money sinoe the war.
Consultations have been going on
at Washington with a view to avoid
the necessity of an extra session of
Congress. It is said that the Demo
cratic leaders consulted are willing
to vote the money at the regular
session to fulfill any contracts which
the Government may make for the
support of the military service until
that time, if the Administration will
engage not to permit the army to
interfere in Southern affairs.
Lee Allen and Robert Bright, two
young lawyers of Fayetteville, Tenn.,
had a quarrel about a law suit, last
week, and exchanged pistol shots.
Allen was shot In the heart and died
instantly. The difficulty occurred In
an offioe, when no one else was pres
ent. Bright entered the court-room
and gave himself up. Allen lately
read law with Walker & Brlcknell,
of Huntsville, Ala., and Bright is a
brother of Hon. John M. Bright,
Congressman from Tennessee.
Hon. Lewis D. Campbell, of Ohio, in a
letter addressed to Senator Blaine, tells
him that his bill, for new elections in
Louisiana and South Carolina ought to
order anew vote for Presidential Electors
also. If this is done, says Campbell, “I
think the people of the West would gen
erally acquiesce in the result. If, how
ever, it be a device merely to gloss over
the great Presidential fraud, it will bring
no repose to the Valley of the Mississippi
and you may at least expect “ on the
Wabash,” and not a little dissatisfaction
on tbe Miami and elsewhere."
A dispatch from Harrisburg, l'a.,
says that prior to the nomination of
Don Cameron for Senator by the lte
publican oaucus, a member of the
Legislature assured the caucus that
Don would give a hearty support to
Hayes’administration and its policy,
and that Hayes would be pleased by
his election; also that old Simon
Cameron resigned beoause he could
not conscientiously endorse Hayes’
policy, and was willing that the
State should be represented in the
Senate by someone who could. Don
Cameron, after the nomination, made
a speech committing himself to
Hayes’ Southern policy.
It is stated that Senator Oglesby,
of Illinois, with several of the Illi
nois Representatives, called upon
Hayes and asked him to appoint the
editor of the Illinois State Journal
postmaster at Springfield, urging it
on tha ground that the incumbent
was a Democrat; and that Hayes re
fused to make the change when told
that there was noother charge against
the incumbent. How Grant came to
permit a Democrat to hold an impor
tant postoffice like thatof Springfield,
is not explained. That is the tough
est part of the story.
The LaGrange Reporter gives some
additional particulars of the unfortu
nate difficulty between Nathan V.
Bray and W. D. Christian, at White
Sulphur Springs, Ga. It says that
they had had a previous difficulty,
and that on Tuesday they met near
one of the springs. Christian began
to curse Bray and advanced towards
him with a drawn knife. Bray warn
ed him off, and stepped backward to
get out of his way; but as he contin
ued to advance, Bray drew his pistol
and tired twice. One ball took effect
in the left breast near the heart,
and the second in the right shoulder.
He was instantly killed. An inquest
was held, and the verdict justified
Bray. No attempt was made to ar
rest him. Christian is represented
as being a man of strong passions
and very violent when under the in
fluence of liquor.
About the loudest and foulest
mouthed “outrage” ehrieker in Geor
gia was J. Clarke Swayze, while he
lived in the State. But he tired of
Georgia and went to Topeka. Kansas,
where he supposed that he could be
as insulting as he chose with Impu
nity. He made a mistake, as appears
by a dispatch of the 10th lost., which
says that John Wilson, of Topeka,
having been frequently abused by
Swayze’s paper, met the latter and
beat him terribly, knocking out
teeth and an eye, and causing his
head to swell. Worse than that, the
dispatch says that tbs crowd cheered
Wilson, and the best citizens offered
to pay aDy line that might be im
posed on him. Swayze was never so
roughly treated in Georgia, much as
he abused our people. Perhaps he
has learned that there is a distinc
tion between the liberty and the
abuse of the press.
T® BE LET ALONE.
This is all that the Southern States
have aked at the bands of the Feder
al Government for the last sixteen
years, and we have bow euoh assu
rances that we oan hardly doubt that
this is to be the policy of tbe new ad
ministration at Washisgton. It will
give uaat last a fully restored Union,
for there could be no such Union
while the Btatcs were unequal In po
litical rights—while the Oeneral
Government exercised powers In
some which it could not exercise in
others.
But we trust that no Southern naan
wljl entertain the delusive notion
that we are Indebted to Republican
justice or magnanimity fortbls tardy
recognition of our constitutional
rights. It is a concession which the
Republican party withstood as long
ae it could, and which It at last yields
not from choice, but from necessity.
The Democratic party has for years
been demanding it, and this party at
last acquired such strength as fairly
to elect a President and secure a ma
jority of one branch of Congress, with
an assurance amounting almost to
certainly It wouldsoon got control of
the other branch also, unless the
Radical party changed its "Southern
policy.” The Supreme Court, also,
had virtually pronounced the South
ern policy of the Grant administration
unconstitutional, and it was thus
left without either legislative or
judicial support. It loomed up be
fore the Radical party os a huge rock
upon which their badly damaged
ship would certainly be wrecked un
less they oould avoid it by tacking.
This they are now doing, not from
favor or good will towaids us, but to
avoid the certain doom which await
ed a persistence in their course.
The duty of the Democratic party,
then, Is to maintain intact an organ
ization without which the Radical
party would be left free to continue
all tbe usurpations and aggressions
of tbe Grant administration. Ours
is tbe only conservative political ele
ment In tbe country, as its history
for tbe last sixteen years abundantly
proves. It has grown and waxed
strong by opposing heresies and
wrongs which the Radical party only
abandons under pressure, and it has
only to maintain its integrity to
win tbe ascendancy to which its
strength and its principles fairly
entitle it.
The following is a litograph letter sent
by Postmaster General Key to all appli
cants for post offices:
Post Office Department, I
Washington, March—, 1877. f
Bib— Your letter of the has been re
ceived and placed upon the files of the
department for consideration, under rules
of the civil service, when vacancies oc
cur. At present none exist.
D. M. Key,
Postmaster General.
Hon. U. H. Hill, in a special dispatch
of the 15th inst. to the Atlanta Constitu
tion, states that with' his sense of doty,
he can make no recommendation to office,
especially for offices to be passed upon by
the Senate. He also says that there can
be no reform unless Congressional control
of tbe executive offices lie broken up.
Old Ruck
Don Platt to Cincinnati Enquirer.)
I am sorry to observe that all ray
old material out ot which I have ex
tracted so much fun. Is passing a way.
The last, but not least, is my jolly
old friend, Each Chandler. It is dif
ficult to make the world believe that
much that I have written of Zaoh is
—well, I won’t say sober fact, for
Zach Is seldom sober—but the fun is
always based on fact. He is a big,
good-natured, awkward, jolly old
Fellow, with more natural ability
than education, and more force of
character than either. He is quite
round-shouldered and rolls as he
walks, as if he were encountering
head-seas or was, as he generally is,
half-seas over. He is a kind-hearted
man—gives way a good deal, both
from a charitable disposition and to
gratify his whims. But, my soul,
how ignorant tbe old animal is!
Here is aa illustration, and it is his
torical.
One day previous to the late civil
war Senator Benjamin was address
ing the Senate, and bad oooasion to
read from Burke. Zachariah listen
ed, and as the Senator replaced tbe
volume the learned lawmaker, select
ed by Michigan to represent that
State in the Senate, asked the elo
quent, little Hebrew the author’s
name. "Burke,” responded Benja
min.
“How?” again demanded Zacha
riah.
”1 read from Burke,” was the res
ponse.
“I’d like to koow what Burke.”
“Certainly.” auletly responded the
eloquent little Creole; “I have read
from Edmund Burke.”
"Mr. President,” roared Zacha
riah, "I deny it in toto. It Is a base
forgery, sir, a base forgery, sir.”
By this time two or three of tbe
Miohigander’s political friends were
M)g at bis coat-tails and inform
al in an undertone that he was
making a fool of himself, but Zaota
ariah continued:
"Let me alone, will you? I know
What I am about, and I repeat it.
It’a a vile forgery—l have known
Edmund Burke since bis youth and
be never did—he never could have
uttered such sentiments.”
By this time the fact dawned upon
Senator Benjamin, and heeaid, with
one of his angelic smiles for which
hewasfamous, “Irefer the Honor
able Senator to the volume of a work
with which doubtlessly he is a fa
miliar to prove that I have read cor
rectly.”
“No, sir; no, nir—no!’*i responded
the Michigan Solon; “I tell the Sen
ator to his face that it is a forgery—
and he knows it. He shall not
Bhotlder euoh infernal stuff on my
old friend. He is absent, sir, but his
reputation is here in my keepiag.”
“Why man alive,”said a political
friend in a low tone, "he is quoting
from the great English orator, Ed
mun Barke.”
"How?” asked Zaoh, eraning his
neck with hand to ear.
"Why, he is reading from Edmund
Burke, of England.” Chandler took.
“Mr. President,” he said. "I beg
the gentleman’s pardon. lam tola
he is reading from a bloody Britisher,
and not from my old friend Edmund
Barke, of New Hampshire. I never
heard of his Edmund Burke, aed
don’t want to hear. I hate the whole
lot of them.”
And Zaohariah subsided.

Prom oar lUgalar Correspond^!.!
Washington, March 15, 1877.
The snubbing, coaxing, cooing pol
icy of the new administration is all
the rage Just now. It has proved a
perfect regulator and soothing syr
up; even tbe carpet baggers cry for
It. The chief cause of its precocious
popularity is that It comes after
Grant. "Anything to beat Orant,”
seems to be tbe text of the present
administration, and with this sound
prologue the Presidential theme be
comes wonderfully plain and simple.
The polioy consists chiefly in revers
ing things; but almost any adminis
tration will boat Grant’s, because in
Grant we bad reached the bottom.
At the end ef the first century of our
national pilgrimraaßo we may sing,
"Through man/* Mid 'til ouri to go,
With nun/ i retrospection cureed.
But with this iolK-e, ’tin to know.
What I'er bolidii, we've sees the wont."
No doubt but the fact that affairs
were desperately at their, worst, and
must of necessity improve, will go
far toward reconciling the country
to the fraudulent tenure of the pres
ent Executive.
Gov. Hayes is in many respects
the antithesis of Gen. Grant. He is
a better man, a better gentleman,
and an incomparably better states
man. Tbe new Cabinet is. In many
features, the moral and political an
tipode of the old. Where would It
be possible to find sharper contrasts
than are presented in Key and
Tyner; In the erudite Schurz and tbe
Ignorant, vulgar and dishonest
Chandler; In tbe commonplace Fish
and the tho brilliauc Evarts? From
a moral point of view the two Secre
taries of Btate are equally unlovely,
and the man who voluntarily joined
hands with Wells and Chandler to
Bteal the Presidency, may not stand
up in the temple and thank God that
he is better than the publican who
has sat for eight years among the
legal advisers of GeD. Grant.
But it is not only in the Executive
and the Cabinet that the new is an
Improvement upon the old. The wife
and family of Mr. Hayes present sev
eral points of advantageous contrast
with the domestic circle of the recent
administration. Mrs. Hayes is, per
haps, not tho intellectual superior of
Mrs. Grant—who Is an estimable
woman, and, bad not her influence
been counteracted by nature and bad
associations, she would have done
even more than she did to redeem
the maladministration of her hus
band. But Mrs. Hayes has bad tbe
advantage of long familiarity with
tbe usages and customs of good soci
ety ; she has acquired to the perfec
tion of second nature, the little civil
ities, graces, and bienfaisance, which,
to use an inelegant figure, are the
axle-grease of tbe selfish, polite
world. Social intercourse at tbe Cap
ital has always tbe appearanoe and
smoothness of oiled gudgeons, but
the fault of the lubricating material
has been that it smelled. It has been
made odorous by Babcock, Belkuap,
Boss Shepard, Dick Harrington, Lan
daulet Williams, Parson Newman,
and some females, whom, Bince they
were odoo women, I will not mention
by name.
Apropos of Parson Newmau, who
has been the pastor and beneficiary
of the ex-President. It is said that
he oalled upon Mr. Hayes and urged
him to aceept the pew formerly oc
cupied by Gen. Grant. But the pres
ent Executive declined, saying, dip
lomatically, that be would hesitate
to usurp the pew of the ex-President,
who was still in the city. To this the
Rev. Newman replied: Gen. Grant
can have the Ylce President’s pew.
But, on Sunday, Gov. and Mrs.
Hayes walked to the Foundry Meth
odist Church on the corner of 14th
and G. Bt., two squares from the
White House, where, it is said, Mrs.
Hayes sang in a loud and clear voice.
Of course, the humiliation and cha
grin of Dr. Newman and his congre
gation is only equaled by that of
Blaine and Cameron. Let them all
resign, abdicate in favor of their
sons and their country and honesty
and common decency.
The resignation of the imbecile
lachrymose old Senatorial fraud who
has for years made the second State
of tbe Union contemptible in the
Senate was a very general surprise,
and has been the subject of more
comment than any thing that has
occurred since the nomination of the
new Cabinet. It is now quite evi
dent that the resignation was entire
ly in the interest of his son Don, for
whom the old schemer is ambitious,
and who is not without ambition of
his own. Tbe concentrated influence
of Pennsylvania was brought to se
cure Don Cameron’s retention in the
Cabinet, but, in spite of his great po
litical strength, and the fact that be
was co-equal aod co-evll with Wells,
Chandler and Bradley, in the rape of
the Presidency, ho was compelled to
surrender the sword of his father.
But the old man is able to console
his darling sonny. He wraps him
In his own deeeorated Senatorial toga,
and the heir comes into the succes
sion through the action of a corrupt,
subservient legislature as naturally
as Alphonso might have succeeded
Isabella, had Bpaln been a free State
ef the glorious Republic, instead of
an effete despotism. Let’s give Penn
sylvania another Centennial, right
off, and rehallow the memory of the
founders. Hallelujah! C. A. S.

Editor Columbus Times: The fol
lowing beautiful lines were written
by a prominent citizen of Harris
county, Ga., about the year 1854, and
while the author was on a visit to
tbe old North State. They were
found some months ago, among the
private papers of a deceased relative
of tbe author, who died In Macon
county, Ala., several years ago.
From inscriptions on tbe copy in my
possession, I believe itto be the only
ono in existence, and t adopt this
method of furnishing the author a
copy, who, I learn, is a subscriber to
your valuable paper. Doubtless, it
will recall to memory food recollec
tions of the past—recollections of the
happy hour
•'Ward N stood pensively by hi* aid*.
A tender, sweet end blooming bride."
Very Boon “anothor twenty-five
years’’ will have elapsed since the
writing of the following. To many
those years have been fraught with
sorrow and disappointment; but we
hope they have taught no such les
son to the author and his fair com
panion, but that their journey
through life thus far has been one of
perpetual happinest:
Twenty five yearn have winged their Right.
Since that mjeterloue word 1 epoke;
When on a boisterous winter night.
I first assumed the bridegroom yoke.
I long had craved the blisafnl chain.
And cheerfully subscribed the vow:
Perhaps I'd do the same again.
Although I'm older now.
Ah! well do I recall the time,
When N atood pensively by cay side—
Stood in her youthful, morning prime,
A tender, sweet and blooming bride.
And I so proud of that dear hand,
Could scarce conceal my blies;
I’d bought a trad of lady land,
And sealed my purchase with a kiss.
For happiness we trimmed our sail.
My darling little bride and I;
Hope's breezes blew s pleasant gale,
And gently smiled the summer sky.
The world seemed made for her and me,
All bright wherever we might turn;
Our life to be a traaqall sea,
Sweet innocence and love to learn.
Bnt soon did Care's disturbing breath
Its baleful influence impart;
And bitter sorrow born of death,
Overcast the sunshine of our heart
But still as trouble round us rose,
Each closer, fonder cluug to each,
Blessed witn tbe strength of love's repose,
Enduring all that grief could teach.
We had much joy, though small our sphere.
And craved n more extended fame;
For children made our dwelling dear—
Twee wonderful how fast they cams.
••The more the merrier," we said.
And in them every wish was blest;
A part in our embrace have staid,
A mound at 8 G tells tbe rest
This lesson we have fully learned,
Pure happineea that we have dreamed
Is but a hope soon o'ertutned;
A vision but in fancy dreamed.
That all of happiness here below—
Pursuing which life is spent,
In mingled scenes of bliss and woe.
Is measured by the word Content.
Though fortune may withhold its smile.
As it has done in times before.
Content shall still our way beguile,
And rest the future as before.
The future, who its tale may tell.
But for it we've no doubts nor fears;
And like our life that's past so well,
We'll try another twenty-five years.
The Griffin News reports an unpleas
antness in Butts county, near Worth
ville, last Saturday, which resulted in the
killing of a man named Mason, by two
men named Thompson wiio were imme
diately Jogged therefor. They charged
Masoa with being too intimate with a

Jerry Faster, was an exceedingly parsi
monious man, while be was a most tre
mendous feeder. He was a native of
New Jersey, living some thirty miles east
of Philadelphia, and attended market in
that city. In person he was a great, lanky
built fellow, and where all the provisions
he devoured at one sitting went to it
would require a medical board to deter
mine. Well, one day Jerry started with
his wagon to tbe city. His load consisted
of batter, eggs, potatoes snd s few infant
swine, handsomely dressed for the table.
All of his marketing was disposed of
early in the morning but one pig, and
then the farmer drove ronnd to a small
tavern on Becnd street, where he pro
posed stopping for dinner, the price therof,
In those cheap times, being twenty-five
cents. About two o’clock, Jerry appear
ed lor his meal. There happened that
day to be no guest at the table but him.
The dinner was brought in. The roaster
sold Randolph in the morning, ail crisp
and brown, stood before his former owner.
Just as the trio were proceeding to work
Mr. and Mrs. R. were suddenly called
away to care for one of the chddr. n taken
ill. The landlord, on departing, told Jerry
to go ahead and eat his dinner. Jerry
“waded in,” Piece after piece of the
porker was devoured with cranberries,
potatoes, turnips and bread and butter,
ad libitum. In probably three quarters
of an hour Mr. and Mrs. R. returned.
There was tbe table, there was Jerry, but
where were the provisions—where especi
ally the pig? Tbe Jerseyman was leaning
back in his chair complacently picking
his teeth. The pair surveyed him with
an expression of indignant astonishment.
At length Randolph spoke: “Why—well,
stranger, I should say you were unusually
fond of roast pig.” “Yes, yes, I may aay
I ant; and a real, fat, good-sized one makes
me with trimmiu’s just a fair meal,'* said
Jerry, heaving a sigh. Randolph was out
fifty cents on the pig alone, and may be
as much more on the other provisions
consumed by the Jerseyman, but you may
be sure Foster ale no more dinners at
Randolph’s for a quarter. —New York
