m the post. THURSDAY, JUNE 28, 1878. R. L. HlCK8, EDITOR AND PROPRIETOR. SALUTATORY. The circumstances which gave birth to the Post are already familiar to tho.se expected to he Its readers; hence, comment is unncccs- mtf. It |e my purpose to establish and (mUd up a local paper in Dublin, which Bhall be a (rue exponent of the wants and wishes of the whole people, to pursue such a policy as will meet the approbation of all good citizens, and to devote my undivided energies to the upbuild* htg of the various interests of our section of the State. iT ‘ , The Post will be tile mouth-piece of no particular party or individual, nor will Us columns be prostituted to tirade and abuse from merely splenetic motives. Yet, all such acts,-'both public and private, as it comes wfthin my province to notice, I shall criticise Impartially, and, when occasion demands, shall lash unsparingly. A now era of prosperity is dawning upon our section. The Oconco no longer rolls af our feet, murmuring its mocking taunts at the sleeping energlos of our people; our mag nificent pine forests have ceased to sigh their doleful requiem over their hurled wealth of turpentine and navul stores; the trade of the the surrounding country, which has so long ra diated to other markets, is being rapidly brought bock to Dublin, its proper and nutu- ral focus. Such are the fruits of pluck, en terprise and energy. Yet, great as the pres ent results *ro, they are but the beginning of what la in store for us if wc will only remain true to ourselves. The primo object and mis sion of the Post will be to work on this lino— to aid, encourage and foster every effort in the direction of developing, and building up ou# local interests. That a local paper may bo made a potent instrument for good in the work before us, all will agree, and to insure the success of the Post I hope ail will leu J their sympathy and support. Respectfully, .• U. L. Hicks. aging to all the interests of the Demo cratic party, and while Dr. Felton may never have intended injury to the de mocracy, nevertheless, his course in ob taining a representative's place iti Con gress 1ms done incalculable injury. In the Eighth District, Mr. A. II. Stephens 1ms, up to the present time, obtained his place in Congress legiti mately; that is, throngii Democratic principles; but lie now “stands for re- clcction” without regard to the choice of the Democratic Convention of his District. And this is not ull he has done; for he has just a few days since given notice to the world that ho in tends utterly to ignore anything agreed upon in Democratic caucus which does not precisely comport with his ideas of right. This is a lingo thing for Mr. Stephens to nssumo to himself were he sound in principle; and much more is it true since he is evory day saying and doing things which aro so commenda tory of the ignominious and rascally course pursued by such vile and un principled Radical as the late Presi dent Grant. Mr. Stephens* course has been such that the vilest Republican sheets in the country are claiming that there is no alternative loft him but thafof induct ing himself into the Rupublican ranks. And to-day he is dubbed tho loader of Hayes faction; a faction that is dyed in infamy, fraud and corruption that is blacker than the darkest deed over committed by the vilest criminal. Then let tho pooplc of tho Seventh and Eight Distrioto instead of giving Dr. Felton and Mr. Stehpens an in dorsement of their past course, lot their votes fall like thunderbolts in condem nation of their deeds. It is not yet understood hero that Col. J. H. Blount will have any oppo sition in tho nominating convention for tho Sixth District. And whether or not he docs have opposition it is gener ally conceded that his nomination is a certainty. This in my humblo judg ment is as it should bo. Col. Blount 3 Our New Outfit.

On last Saturday about 12 o'clock we found WHY ASSASSINATE THE PEHOK? Evf.ry one knows that several at tempts have been mode to assasinatc the German Emperor, and that the effort a short time ago came near of accomplish ment—that he had thirty shot buried in his chest and arm. But we frequent ly hear the questions asked, “Why pdt William out of the way? What object have the assassins in view? What does it mean?” The* Socialist element is very strong in Germany. They are opposed to the Government and in favor of a German republic. They look upon the Emperor as the embodiment of tlio Government and of monarchy. They belief if they can get him out of tho way, they can inaugurate a revolution which his Jew popular heir apparent can not Stay. Says the Albany (N. Y.) Argils: “It would be nothing surprising if a repub lic should grow out of the present up heaval in tho German Empire, or at least a strong attempt in that direction! be made. A London correspondence- ports that no one ventures to speak open ly in extenuation of Nobeling’s crime,i but in private men say that the country is ripe for a republic. France, now under republican rule for seven years, is pros- S erous, rich and happy. Germany, un- er the Empire is poor, depressed and wretched. Worse still, the alliance be tween the Czar and Emperor is “ iniio a Avar with winch she has no _ cern. She is kept with her hand ui hor sAvord, and her people, many of foot, with tho pledges of fidelity and whom find it difficult'to 'get bread to cat are compelled to maintain an im mense army.

In another col umn will bo found an in teresting communication touching the a- bove subject. It reflects our views pre cisely.

The m&tf Who" possesses more strength Daring the festival week AK Jackson and his sister visited Cincinnati, wi&rc Major Byrne, assisted by his lady-love, contributed to their entertainment. On Thursday they all dined together at the Barnet House very happily; that eve ning the lover placed Li; betrothed in the company of Mr. Jackson for the, fes tival; Friday she, was to entertain him by introduction to her lady friends, and did, which excited no; suspicion in the trusting mind and heart of the happy lover, who had her losing assurances of a few hours ago, and intimaey and love of several years growth to assure him. On Saturday afternoon Mr. Jackson called upon his friend Major Byrne to assist him in getting a marriage license, to which he responded as a friend at once, and together they repaired to the Probate Court, the lover little dreaming, what was in store for him—what a sta* he was to receive from his friend. The names of the contracting parties were there first pronounced. Imagine what must have been the feelihgs of the strong man, the ardent lover, when hearing the name of his almost wife in such a connection, hut he believed it a cruel joke, and not until he met the lady did he doubt her. He was invited to give the bride away, and having to release her from her engagement with him, a most solemn one, he consented; being a life-long friend of both parties, and lero seldom has been witnessed a no- [er exhibition of true manhood and ivalnr than when this gentleman, suf- ‘ng the agony of a broken heart and “iHiated spint, with a calm nerve ap.d “ alarming to his friends, bayihg, Pleased the lady from her , _ troth, forgiving her the great ng she had done him in blasting his by precipitated trampling under hisjiost wielding t° tho .ttfnost of hisi jn tho Uoll3e of Iioprrac,native, than ability Ills mfluenocs for tho bonoftt of j „ ny other mall from Uc0rgi3; tho mm his country. ^ Added to all.

Editor Post: All tho Georgia delega tion aro asking for ro-elcotion to tho next Congress. As a role, the best in terests of the county will bo moro bene ficially subserved by returning our old members. Still there aro, in tho hum bio judgment of the writor, two excep tions, which should be studiously look- * ed to by the people of iheso excepted UistrioU at the noxt oleotion. In tho Seventh, Dr, Wm. H. Felton has never obtained his place through tho principles of Joffereoman Democra cy; that is to say, he never has askod for or agreed to accept a nomination from the Democracy of his District; but on tho contrary has chosen to rido into the House of Representatives in Congress ou on independent schedule. It lias been thoroughly demonstrated to all the people of tho South that in- ikpoudeut candidates are fearfully dam in Congress than any man who can be sent from tho Gth District at tho pres ent time. Tho minority however, may clamor as they have dono in tho past for tho prin ciples of rotation in office. But tho propor answer to that in my humblo judgment is, that Col. Blount for a multiplicity of reasons, (only a fow of whioh I havo mentioned) is tho man host fitted for tho place. That boing true, tho interests of tho country de mand that rotation should bo left out of the quostion. It is hotter to subserve tho interests of tho entire people than to subsorvo tho interests, of one mau. Tho officer is tho servant of tho people and not the office tho servant of the oifloor. Tho office is created for tho benefit of tho people and not for the benefit and uggmndizemont of our indi vidual. Then lot tho people loavo tho priuciplo of rotation one of the quostion and look to their . best interests when thoy como to cast their votes. Jacobus. his constituents at home, &^J. H. Blount; and tho voters of tho sixth dis trict lcuoAv it and thoy intend to reelect him. Wc havo been at some pains to ascertain public sontiment on this sub ject, especially.in this county; and we can say without fear of contradiction that Mr. Blount Avill again be the choice of tho pooplc, and that by an over whelming majority.

Beat! Sint S It becomes our pleasant duty to chronicle in the first issue of tho Post the marriage of Dr. Hightower to Miss Genie Williams. Dr. H., Avith fine natural endowments, cultivated in the best literary, scientific and medical institu t ions of the land, has set up in our midst as a practitioner and carved out as complete a suc cess in his profession as was ever achieved by any physician. He will, we havo no doubt,find many of the rough places in life’s future path made smooth by the loving hand of the beautiful and ac complished lady whose life is now confidingly and inseperably intertwined with his own. able article of food, prepared from the products of tho ocean, has lately been brought prominently forward—this is fish flour. It is not yet manufactured in any great quantity, as the article is still new in the market, and consequent ly there is no great demand for it. Tho flhnr-in prepared in Norway, from dried cod-fish of the first quality; it is thoroughly descicated aud then ground in a mill. There are two qualities, the course, and the fine-ground. It is es pecially the former which has found fa vor with the public; from it - an excel lent dish of fish-balls can in a short time be prepared, while the finest ground is used for fish puddings, a dish highly appreciated in Norway and Swe den. In Catholic countries, in- locali ties where there is no regular supply of fresh fish, it is presumed this article will be moro partionlarly important. A WESTERN ROMANCE.

Cincinnati, tho Queen City of the West, ever ahead, continually offers something to satisfy and refresh the ap petite, let tho his to bo what it may. Nothing in the foshionablo social world here has ever created such a sensation recently, and nqthing ever so strange as the strangely romantic marriage of Miss Blanche Worthington, of Coving ton, Kentuoky, a leading bolle of great beauty and accomplishments, to Mr. B. V. Jackson, of Parkersburg, West Vir ginia, son of- Judge Jackson, of the united States Court of West Virginia. The affair was a runaway match, and the ceremony was performed at tho Burnet Honse by Rev. Dr. Gray, an Episcopal divine. Tho story is: The lady has long boon ongaged to Major Byrne, a prominent young railroad man of this city, a very worthy gentleman, and, as his conduct on thia occasion shows, a chivalrous one. The Major is a devoted Catholic, which faith tho young lady voluntarily adapt ed after careful investigation and a long course of instruction from leading di vines of the CathoUo Church in this city aud Covington, and which she was to ‘formally embrace on their marriage day, in Juno.
