Oao'e County Gazette. RISING FAWN, GEORGIA. TBURSDAY.JUYE 18,1879. Oliß NATIOX \Yc Lave always been proud that we were an American citizen and could look Lack with veneration to the halcyon davs of independence when the watchword of oar nation was Liberty. Liberty of speech, liberty of suffrage, and liberty of purpose. In those days men were hon est and served their country from a sense of duty and a feeling of patriotism, and not simply for the emoluments of the of fice. The temple of liberty by which we enjoyed peace and plenty for so many years was founded by master builders, and cemented with life’s purple tide poured out on its walls. And yet with in it is the holy place of liberty, truth and science. There is deposited the im mortal scroll, bright with the names of its noble founders, and the eagle, which hovered over them in the battle’s smoke, still spreads his wings there to watch their last repose. But how far have their posterity gone off from the rules laid down by those self-sacrificing statesmen. The peace of the nation lias been disturbed by their ungrateful children, and war and blood shed have devastated this once happy land, and Ephraim is joined to his idol —money. Abolition, strife and local differences, brought about a civil war, and for four long years the nation bled at every pore,, and thousands of her noble sons found a grave in a strange land, dying unwept and unsung. Scarcely had the cloud of war been brushed away, when another more fierce than the finst began in the political field. The radicals, in order to be successful, placed the shackles on ev ery southern arm, and when they were removed the bayonet of the federal sol dier was seen to glitter and gleam at ev ei v voting precinct. But the democrat ic party continued to increase in strength till in 1876, when they were successful by 19 electoral votes. But in the pre tended adjudication of the election there was enough corruption —putrid corrup tion festering, to ruin the public morals of any nation. Our leaders went up to Washington and found Grant and his “strikers’’ incorrigible, with one hand on the nation’s chair and with the other pointing to his armed legions. At this our leaders backed down, perhaps for the want of backbone, and said if you will remove the troops from the south you can have tlie presidency. Hayes said he would do it, and since that time Gen. Grant has been making extensive prepa rations to .take the place of Mr. Hayes so soon as the latter’s term of office is >ut. Now the republican party is going to conduct the canvass in 1880 with money and the bayonet, and to this end they are now being thoroughly organized. We would advise the democratic par ty to be on the alert, and try by organi zation and centralization to secure the president in 1880. It is apparent that ihe figures are against Grant. Of course, if Grant could secure all the northern states that went for llayes, and then add to them the 86 votes of New Y oik, he fcjtyonld be elected. This result would Kj|ive him a total of 201 votes. But it were to carry New York and all the northern Haves states except Ohio, the loss of its 22 votes would reduce this to tal to 179, which would be six short of a majority. But the democrats may count on New York if the convention is harmonious, which must be, otherwise we arc defeated. A FEW FACTS. Two years ago when tlie District Con ference aas in South Chattanooga, and the school authorities of Ooltewali came and ottered the conference the District school, we were in favor of Trenton and governed our vote accoiuinglv. 1 I ' ,ln that conference wc went to Jasper, 1 emi., where wo cm balked in the paper husi- Ui * s , ;n i liom that time to to this we have boon in the same occupation. First,we wrote for the Herald and now Ur the G azktte, and in these two papers Vf -e have always had a good word tor the tchooi at Trenton. WO Mid all the exercises of the school, we were fully prepared to write up all the partic ulars, and we will assert just here that there are no two men in the bounds of the Holston conference ever wrote half as much in favor of and for that school as we have, for it is well known we util ized the columns of our paper for the benefit of said institution, writing col umn after column in order to stimulate both teacher and pupil. While we do not claim to have been the means of send ing many scholars to that school, yet we have so stimulated the parents and children as to do valuable service for the school. And now after we have worked* tugged,thought and wrote for the vchool without a cent’s remuneration, some one rises up in “mectin” and says that we are responsible for tbje school at Trenton now being taught in the Presbyterian church. To this gentle accusation we would say that it is false. B. F. Pace said something to us concerning the school, and we being slow to talk about it lie (Ben) said “I presume that you are neutral?” to which we answered in the affirmative. We have nothing wliatcvei to do with the school that Miss Mary Pace is now teaching, and so far as the District . school is concerned, we have been for it first, last and all the time,but we did say that we were going to let upon gratuitous advertising in the future, for there isn’t a paper in the south that has done so much of this sort of thing in so short a tunc as we have. However, we expect to write on the great subject of education from a general standpoint, and try in the best manner we can to in fuse into the minds of the young a thirst for knowledge ; but when it comes to a private enterprise working all tlie time for another that is equally as private, and then to be accused of something for which we are not responsible, it lias a slight tendency to stir up the Injun in our temperament which is not over and above passive. mm igi mm To Cole ( sly md 23 The train runs much faster on the new schedule than it. did before, for we had scarcely settled well in our seat till ye Abyssinian ike stuck his noggin in at the door and yelled “Trenton.” Having a little time before services at the Meth odist church* (for the revival was still in progress) we sauntered out where Ben Pace was cutting wheat, and though it was Saturday evening, yet the reapers pursued the even tenor of their way, and wc thought, let not ambition mock their useful toil, for oft did the harvest to their sickle yield. We thrust in the blade and demonstrated to the beholder that we had been “tliar.” At night we preached at 1 lie Mctodist church, and enjoyed the worship with the good people of Trenton. Culled our ox ygon with B. F. Pace, and on the mor row, in company with Mr. Yv \ P. Pace, we rode for Cole City, distant six miles. We wound round and round, back and forth,till wc gained the top ot hand moun tain, and at 10:30 o’clock wo were busy tying our horses to the brush near the lit tle church in the city of Goal. At 11 o’clock we began to preach, and as we were sick, weary and worn, the sermon was a failure. Took dinner with our old friend Capt. T. R. Evans, than whom a cleverer man doesn’t live. He is a \\ elch inan, and his wke says that lie has been in this country g qjrxmgli to be civil ized. Lute in the afternoon we rode for tlie canitol of Dade, but on the wav our at rtntion was attracted by a rustling in the leaves near the road, and on examination found a large rattle snake. Taking that passage of scripture in its literal sense that says “the seed of the woman shall bruise the serpent's head,” we slid down off our horses, and armed with large sand rocks, we proceeded to pound the life out of the venomous “critter.” That done we mounted our steed# and at dusk rode into Trenton. Attended church, stayed with our friend Allison, and Monday morning found us home again. From Ijcvi Peril. Mu. Editor —My peregrinations once more have terminated in the dull, lonely town of Owl, or in the language of the Cherokee, Ooltewali, and, while as an in dividual, I would not venture to intrude myself upon the attention ot your readers, still, I believe there are in Dade many friends ot others who are here that would gladly hear how they are getting along. Mr. Amos returned from a visit home yesterday, and seems about level. Jt is to he hoped that the influence of your re ligious atmosphere has given a better tone to his morals. Not that Vv . i>. is any worse than the rest ot us, hut we want to he able to say there is one clev er fellow among us, and he seems les ;s hardened and more susceptible of moral influences than the rest, it rank Hale ex cepted, Everything seems to be moving on all right at the mines so far as an observer can tell. They are certainly getting considerable ore, and managing the bus iness in a very systematic manner, con sidering tlie disadvantages under which they labor. Harvesting is in full blast now, (June 10) and the crop is said to be the best that has been harvested for years. Nothing could be more flattering to Trentorians than the manner in which those who were at the conference aud re cent closing exercises of the school,speak of their hospitality, sociability, and all the other estimable qualities lor which the inhabitants of that burg are noted. Levi Peck. WABHIYCJTOY LETTER Washington, D. C., June 6. The Democrats will undoubtedly pass the bill extending last year’s legislative appropriations. The bill last year, as will be remembered, contains no provis ions for deputy marshals and supervis ors, those officials having been provided for in the civil sundry bill of last year. This bill will be pushed through and the course of Mr, Hayes ascertained before the army bill is introduced.- The army bill, with its prohibition of the payment of money to troops for services at the polls, or for subsistence there, or trans portation to such points, will pass, in all probability, and that will complete the business for which congress was called togelhci. But delays are dangerous. The weather here is intensely hot -and many members are, and necessarily more will be, absent. ... Senator Hampton made an eloquent speech yesterday, in which lie said he would not, under any circumstance re fuse supplies to the government. This, too, is the prevailing sentiment among southern senators and representatives. The senate Committee on elections has been slow in taking up the case of Sena tor Ingalls, of Kansas, but has at last gone to work in earnest. If any Kansas republican can be believed, under any cir cumstances, there is that in the charged against should consign him from public life. He is charged, among wher things, with the purchase, for cash, of tike votes necessa ry to secure his election. Yesterday Mr.Hayes sent to I%e House the testimony and report of the board of officers who have, uiuleV a n#olntion of congress, made an the case of Gen. Fitz John lorrer. Mr. Hayes made no recommendation in ik#case. This is the “day after tire Igrttle” in Ohio, and T think the general mipressioß is that the ticket nominated by the dem ocrats —Ewing for Governor and Lice for Lieut. Governor- —is a strong onel 1 wish to say, from personal knowledge, that Gen. Bice is entitled to the vote of every Union soldier of that state, because of the services lie rendered thorn while in the House. Himself a crippled vete ran, he lias done more for the widows and orphans of those who, unhappily, fell in the struggle, than any man now living. Of the record of Foster, who heads tne republican ticket in Ohio, and who was in Congress with Gen. Rice, I can, with equal certainty, say that it does not at anv time show even one earnest effort in behalf of the class so greatly benefitted by Gem. Rice. Benton. Unearthing a Meteor. The large meteor that was reported to have fallen near Worthington last Sat urday fell in Emmet county, lowa, about four miles south of the State line and fifteen miles from Jackson, It appeal'd from hereto those that observed it, to pass from northwest, to southwest, and left a track of smoke not unlike a fuse sholl only a great deal more. The report was distinctly heard here as well as at points further east. The shock of tlie missile striking the ground could he easily felt at this distance. It tore a hole in the ground twelve feet across ut the surface, and threw sods as large as a man’s body a distance of ten rods. A number of men set to Work digging after the meteor, and found it buried fifteen feet below the surface, ten feet ol which was hard clay. r i he largest piece taken out weighed four hundred and thirty-one pounds and enough smaller pieces were found to make five hundred pounds mall Those who saw it strike say it exploded in the errouud. It consists ot meteoric iron, very dense, and thought by some to contain silver ore. It has a ragged out side, covered with a whitish substance which can he taken off, leaving the hard metal. There is a great chance for scien tific speculation and investigation.— Jackson (Minn.) letter to the St. Paul Pioneer Press. mm hi The Democrat* Ready. Beacon News: With these issues the Democracy are ready and willing to go before the country. The Democracy con tend for the inherent right of the people to control their own elections independ ently of any interference from Federal bayonets or Federal Marshals. The Re publican party is tacitly and avowedly pledged to the doctrine that the people are incapable of self-government, and hence must have Federal bayonets and swords and Federal Marshals to dictate to them the men whom they shall choose for Congressmen and President ane \ ice President. > i Courage in Every-Day Life Have the courage to discharge a debt while you have the money in your pock et.
