“heir liabilities when their crops
are gathered, they are required,
to suit the convenience of tin*
Governor and his clerks, to pay
the oppressive tax of the Stale

the indignation of the people.
The dog law is under discus

The new Constitution having

is “that they are not bound to

The act prescribing the mode

than one dollar per square is

Augusta Evening News says “the

They may try to hush it up, but
the people will no longer be tri

democrats. Corruption is as vile
under that name as the loathed
word radical."
One of the “investigators" in
Atlanta says the committee is
ready to report that Colquitt "is
sound as a dollar, Murphy is all
right, and Hill will be satisfied."
This looks like expensive white
washing.

Mr. Hill is credited with saying, I
recently, that “ sectionalism, in
any form, is deplorable,’’ and.
commenting further on the hos
tility of the South to radicalism
and Mr. Hayes, the senator is al
so reported to have said that he
likes Mr. Hayes. “He has ex

Thu South and thk Pkksiden
cy.—lnterviews with leading men
ol both political parties through
out the entire South have been
collected by the Cincinnati Kn
quirer. They bear mainly upon
the Presidential issue of 1880.—
The Enquirer summarizes the
mass of views presented, thus:
“Among tho democrats, the first
choice seems to be equally diri
ded between Thurman and Hen
drieks, a western man being pre
ferred. Bayard, however, has ma
ny devoted supporters through
the South, and may be reckoned
a good second. Tilden, who went
into the St. Louis convention two
years ago, with the solid South
at his command, has in a meas
ure drifted out of notice. Among
the republican candidates, Grant
lias the advantage of position and
fairly leads them all. Next to
him, Blaine is entitled ton place,
while Colliding follows the man
of Maine at some distance.”
Mr. Tilden makes his choice,
and says, in view of the preser
vation of peace and order, if a
republican, ho would prefer Grant
to Blaine or Conkling.
They may talk as they will
about the solid Bourbon South
or the Republican North. Our
opinion is that the Independents
—the people, who have been
victimized by both parties, will
control the future destinies of
the country.
A large syrup crop has been
made in Southwest Georgia from
Louisiana cane.
The Army of the United States,
officers and privates, have peti
tioned Congress for an increase
of the Army to 105,000 men.—
This would be still a small stand
ing army for so large a country,
but it would be a large army for
a Republic.
The business of Government,
State and County, in Georgia
now is to gather up all the man

and to distribute it among the
non producers.

firmly weld the South to the
Union than such a tie.
The Presidential candidates in
the field are, on the oneside,
Grant, Conckling and Blane, and
on the other Tilden, Thurman
.and Hendricks. The Georgia
■Bi%arfized prefer Tilden, just be
cause, we suppose, he is a great
bond holder.

Mrs. Mumford, whose husband
Gen. Butler hung in New Orleans

The farmers of Talbot county
think they can’t raise cotton with
hired labor, at 7 cents a pound.
Bless you, it has come to this,
that you can’t raise anything on
the farm in North Georgia, with
hired labor, and not have the bal
ance sheet against yon. Possibly
when we all get our lands up to
a bale of cotton, fifty bushels of
corn, or twenty of wheat to the
acre, we may make something
from the employment of labor.
The people of Brunswick and
points along the line of the road,
have petitioned the legislature
against tho sale of the Macon and
Brunswick railroad, arguing that
its retention by the State will se
cure a continuous line for the
State to the coast, holding mo
nopolies in check, and greatly ad
vancing the interests of the peo
pie of the State.
Only two weeks more and the
man who is ashamed to carry

when he has on his best clothes,
may be seen tugging along an
armful of bundles of assorted
sizes, a large parcel and a rock

and jumping jacks, and balls and
trumpets, bulging out of his coat
tail pocket, and clutched in his
left hand a nine-pound turkey,
with its head trailing along the
pavement; and he will feel proud
and happy too.

It is stated that Gen. P. M. B.

Representatives in Washington.
The Atlanta Constitution says
that tramps are so’plentiful in that

Miss Louise W. King, the origi

Augusta on Saturday last.
The Cartersville Express says
that Mr. Daniel Keever, living
four miles north of Cartersville,
raised this year on his farm, with
only one mule, 145 bushels wheat,
325 bushels corn, and 9 bales of
cotton. The cotton, he says, was

An Adventist says a thousand
years will elapse between the
resurrection of the wicked and
the just, that the former will be
tried by the latter and that this
time will be required to study
the record of the wicked in order
to make up a judgment. A be
nevolent editor says it is to be
hoped “that we pious people
maybe in a merciful frame of
mind when we are impaneled.”

A Pencil Sketch.
The City Council of Augusta
have authority to build anew
market house on the old site. In
my boyhood doys, the old market
had above the roof the calaboose,
in which the Cherokees were ta
ken care of, when, in their visits,
they imbibed fire-water too free
ly. Attracted by the feathers,
bows and arrows, and the glam
our, for the boy, that hangs about
the Indian, I have climbed to the
calaboose and given to the chief
tain, in durance vile, ginger cakes
made at a near bakery. Near
that old site, I have put up my
“thrip,” at a good distance, to
test the marksmanship of these
Indians. Around it, appear to
me now the shops of near fifty
years ago, with the old familiar
forms of that day, impelled in
life’s vain struggle by the same
hopes and fears, as the denizens
around it now. A number of
prominent citizens, not unknown
to Georgia, lived near—McWhor
ter, Jackson, Mann, Glascock,
Antony, McLaws, the man who
wrote u My life is like the sum
mer rose,” and others, who daily
replenished their stores at the old
market site. Often I have passed
that good man, Bishop Andrew,
since, with nearly all of his gene
ration gone to “the beautiful
shore,” toting cheerily his big.
well-filled basket of fish, steak,
vegetable and fruits for his daily
supplies. Well, it was long ago,
say in 1829, I saw, on Greene
street, a house in flames; the
wind was up, driving east across
the citv, towards the market.—
Fragments of blazing wood were
carried from block to block, and
soon there was little left of a
large portion of the city and no
thing of that old market house
but the plastered columns. I aw
it rebuilt, but its last disaster
found me leaning on other mar
kets for supplies. Still, if there
are any old boys lingering around
the old scene, whose sympathies
I have touched, or whose memo
ries I have awakened, let them
insist that the new market shall
be built on the old familiar site.
