The following order was left on the slate of a New Hampshire doctor: “Doc, cum up to ther house; the old man has got snaix in his butes agin, an* rasin’ kain.” An act recently passed in the Tennes see legislature regulating the sale of pis tols in that state, makes it a misdemean or to take into the state, either for the purpose of selling, giving away, or oth erwise disposing of any belt or pocket pistol, except army or navy pistols. A writer of the gentler sex says, in a New York woekly, that “a Womanly wo man never gets jammed crowded or push ed and adds, “l am neither young nor pretty.” This explains it.

THURSDAY, APRIL 10, 1379. “FahgfifiaS lo Hie Right, Fearless Against She About Advertising. Wc desire to impress it indellibly up on the minds of the business men of Dade county that advertising pays —that it is just as essential as clerk hire. Every merchant ought to devote a stipulated amount every year to advertising. The most successful business men to-day at tribute their great success to judicious advertising. Advertising is the key-note of success; it is advertisng that makes a met chant’s business double itself. It is true that injudicious advertising does not pay — it is a waste of money —but judicious advertising does pay, and handsomely, too. To what, do you suppose, for in stance, the merchants of Chattanooga attribute the large trade they get from tliis and other counties? If they did not advertise in the county papers, do you suppose they would get this trade? How would the people know that they could buy goods cheap in Chattanooga if the merchants of that place did not constantly impress it upon their minds through the columns of a newspaper? Our merchants can sell goods just as cheap as any other merchants. The question then naturally arises, if the merchants of Dade county can sell as cheap as the merchants of Chattanooga, why do tlie people go to Chattanooga to trade? Simply because our merchants do not advertise —do not let tlie people know through the columns of their pa per that they can sell goods as cheap as the merchants of Chattanooga. The above remarks are not mere as sertions; they are facts—facts that our merchants would do well to consider, and we ask our business men nor tu throw this matter aside, but ponder over it, and give it due consideration. Our terms, lor advertising are in the* reach of every business man in Dade county. The circulation of the Gazette is steadily increasing, and as an adver tising medium we feci safe in saying that it is the iiekt within the reach of our merchants. For 1879. The Gazette for 1879 will not he in ferior to any county paper. We pro pose to make it a live, spicy, and inter esting sheet —more than worth the sub scription price. But to be successful, we must have the hearty co-operation of the people. Every present subscriber can, hv a kind word, secure us another subscriber, and by helping us in this way lie helps himself by getting an in crease of value in the paper itself. If our friends will extend us a helping hand in building up our subscription list, we can promise them one of the best weeklies in North Georgia. A Good GflVir. As stated in our last issue, wc will hereafter furnish the Gazette in clubs of five at $1.25 per year each, and in clubs of ten at SI.OO per year. This is down to hard pan prices, and puts it in the reach of every man in Dade county. Let our friends go to work and make up clubs for the Gazette. We intend to make it the best weekly in North Geor gia. The Adventists have fixed upon the 11 tli of July next as the time when the world will come to an end. Delinquent newspaper patrons will please make a note of this and act according, icmcm bering that some prophet or son of a prophet, lias said: The man who cheats the printer out of a cent Will never go where old Elijah went. These Adventists may he wrong ? and may not know anything about it, hut it is always best to he on the safe side, Send if io Them. If you have a rclalive or friend in the West, Sind them the Gazette for a year; it would he a handsome present, and one they would highly appreciate. .! The Sunday school will meet on the hill next Sun lay. This will be much better, for the trains will not interrupt the school up there, tIALiTO.Y LETTER Washington, D. ('., April 4, 1870. Upon tlie Democratic proposition that the Federal anwy ought not to interfere in elections, or be near the polls except when their presence is necessary to pre serve the peace, several speechess <vere made yesterday in the House. Mr.Rob eson, Grant’s Secretary of the navy, and Mr. 1! ouk, of Tennessee, argued in fa vor of a liberal use of troops. Mr. Black burn made a very eloquent and convin cing speech against any Federal interfer ence at elections. Mr. Knott, of Ken tucky, did the same; other members spoke more briefly. The officers named bv Mr. Hayes un der a resolution of Congress to consider new evidence in the case ot Gen. Fitz John Porter, have made a long report. I give the conclusion of it. “Having thus given the reasons for our conclusions, we have the honor to report in accordance with the President’s order,' that in our opinion justice re quires at his hands such action as may be necessary to annul and to set aside the findings and sentence of the court martial in the case of Major Gen. Fitz John Porter, and to restore him to the position of which that sentence deprived him, such restoration to take effect from the dismissal from the service. The officers who sign this report are Generals Schofield, Terry and Getty. There arc no more intelligent or honora ble officers in the army, and never were They* conclusion must be considered the truth in the case. It now becomes prop er to inquire officially what other officers of higher or lower rank than Gen. Por- VV€r jf ' _ bed by the same corrupt ring v ruined him. Will Congress, which a 1 one can properly make the in quiry, snake it? $g . Seirfffor VuoThees*, th*/n v hom no bet ter Democrat exists, yesterday offered in the Senate a bill placing JJen. Shields on the retired list as a B^^adfc' al. But for political this equit able act would have been long ago law. L am glad the Senator lias presented the bill, and o#ly sorry that lie did not ex tend its provisions so as to include all living officerVof equal rank in the war with Mexico. cost to the govern ment would be vevy small, while the ef fect upon t4e people, who may hereafter be called >on to deffind the country, would be vievond calculation. There is no doubt that the survivors of our va rious early Indian wars, and of the Mex ican war, ought, in the interest of justice and of patriotism, to be made the recip ients of some rank of distinction by the government. Those of the war of 1812 have pensions, as they should have. If it be thought too soon to give this mark of appreciation to the later heroes, then signalize their achievements in some other way—in the wav Senator Voor hees suggests, for instance. Let us re member other wars besides the late sec tional war. The appointment of President White, of Corneil University, as Minister to Germany, is followed by that of David T. Corbin to an important office. Pres ident White’s appointment was one of those happy inspirations which have now and then helped to make the pres ent administration cndiuable. That of Corbin lias no excuse whatever. Mr. Hayes is by it simply attempting to con ciliate enemies within his own party, without regard to the fitness of the ap pointee. A Democratic Senate should, and probably will inquire into qualifica tions of the nominee. Albion. What’s the flatter ? If the people remember, we had a con tested election for the office of tax collec tor in this county some time since, but that is the last that has been heard from it. What is the matter ? What has be come of it? Is the Governor dead? The people are continually asking these questions, but nobody can answer them. The G overnor notified the-parties when it would be heard but that is the last of it. (’an some clever genius arise and explain ? These two lines looking so solemn, •were just set up to fill this column. The FcngCNt Speech on Re cord. The longest speech on record is be lieved to have been made by Mr. De Cosmos, in the Legislature of British Columbia, when a measure was pending whose passage would take from a great many of the settlers their lands. De Cosmos was in a hopeless minority. The job had been held back till the eve of the session, and unless the legislation was taken before noon of a given day, the act of confiscation would fail. The day before the expiration of the limita tion De Cosmos got the floor about ten o’clock iu the morning, and began a very vigorous speech against the bill. Its friends cared little, for they sup posed that by the middle of the after noon he would be through, and the bill could he put on its passage. One o’clock came and De Cosmos was speaking still L O —had not more than entered upon his subject. Two o’clock—he was saying “in the second place.” Three o’clock— he produced a fearful bundle of evidence and insisted on reading it. The majority began to have a vague suspicion of the truth—he was going to speak till next noon, and kill the bill. For a while they’re merry over it, but as it came on dusk they began to get alarmed. They tried interruption, hut soon abandoned it, because each one af forded him a chance to digress and to thus gain time. They tried to shout him down, but that gave him breathing space, and final ly they settled down to watch the com bat between strength of pvill and weak ness of body. They gave him no mer cy. No adjournment for dinner; no chance to do more than wet his lips with water*' y*o wandering from his sub ject; no fitting down. Twilight TtavL^ ened; tIV gas was lighted; members ibdi r ped ou#c to dinner aifd re 1 turned toslefcp *in squads, hut De Cos mos went on. . ■ f The Speaker, to whom lie was ad dressing. himself, was alternately doz ing, snoring and trying to look wide awake. Day dawned, and the majority slipped out in squads to wash and break fast, and the man still held on. It can’t be said it was a very logical, eloquent or sustained speech. There were digress ions in it, repetitions also At last noon came to a baffled major ity, livid with rage and importance and a single man who was triumphant, al though his voice had sunk to a husky whisper.; his eyes were almost shut and were bleared and blood-shot, his legs tottered under him and his baked lips were cracked and smeared with blood. Dc Cosmos had spoken twenty-six hours and saved the settlers their lands. Republican Rile. St. Louis Republican: The Demo cratic pill sticks in the Republican throat. Here is a sample tune from one of the loyal organs: M “The slouch Wats in Washington now, and' the manners of the plantation prevail oil the avenue. All that is needed is a slave pen under the shadow of the capital and a gang of chained chattels dragging in its weary way along Pennsylvania avenue, to com plete the picture of good old Democratic times.” “Turn about is fair play.” Those who were in Washington at Lincoln’s first inauguration will remember the crowd of lean and hungry fellows with long hair, battered bats, streaming shawls and the ominous carpet-bag, swarming through the city, cleaning out the cheap restaurants .and proclaiming the triumph of “God and morality.” Their manners and their pockets were equally low, and while in a few months the latter were filled by the pecuniary processes of the war, the former never reached the “plantation” level. If the “slave pen” has disappeared, the Freed - men’s Bank is left to remind emancipa ted “chattels” how their Republican friends robbed them; and if the tax-pav ers of the Federal capital need any fur ther inflations of Republican rule, the financial results of the District ling may answer the purpose. We are ;,orry a Democratic Congress stirs up so much bile in the Republican stomach. “Grin and bear it,” is a good motto. D. M. CULLEY, Busixkss Mana NEWS. Li leaned from Our Et elians’c*.

General Fitz John Porter has been fully vindicated of* the unjust sentence pronounced against him by court-mar tial at the close of the war. The previ ous finding it seems, was based on very erroneous information.

Under the new constitution* the jury system of Georgia is somewhat changed, the standard of jury qualifications being raised. A committee of three citizens is appointed lor each county, whose du ty it is to prepare a jury -list, from which there is no appeal. A careful investi gation into the jury-list of various comi ties in the State shows that about five per cent, of the list is composed of lie* groes. This percentage, the Commis sioners claim, is a liberal one, when the standard of intelligence and education is applied. In Atlanta (Fulton county) there are five negroes on the jury-list. The nrgroes claim that the percentage should be very much larger, and it is probable that a discussion will be pro voked upon this subject* NUIv.tSER 23
