FIiiDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 22d, 1875.
A Wordtotho Daily Press.
We have this to say to our dailies;
If you send us your weekly editions
as exchanges lor our paper, we shall
make it a rule to forward the Aiigus
to you once a month, as a just and
equitable exchange. Our adoption
of this plan will enable you to sec,
in a few months, how useless your
weekly editions are to us.
The news contained in your weekly
editions, by the time they arrive in
our office, is too old for use, as we
glean all news matter necessary for
our paper, from more liberal dailies.
We take the dailes tor the purpose'
of gathering general intelligence in
time for our weeklies. The dailies
need the weeklies for the local con
tained in them. The news contained
in the dai'y is the same in all the
dailies of the State of the same date,
while the important portion of the
country weekly—the local —is con
tained in no other paper of its date.
We, therefore, think that the country
we kly in exchange for the city daily
is a proper and equal exchange.
Furthermore, the notices of the daily
i ■ the weekly, is of great benefit to
the daily; while the notices of the
■weekly by the daily, is comparatively
oi „tle value to the weekly. The
forme: yields subscribers, the latter
almost nothing.
A daily that is liberal with the
country press will prosper, where
other papers will fail. Witness the
remarkable success of the Savannah
Morning News, under the business
management of Col. J. 11. Estill.
There is not a more courteous or lib
eral daily in the State, in its dealings
with the country press, and it is con
sequently the most prosperous, pop
ular and independent of the Georgia
Press. Col. Estill properly appre
ciates the influence of its country
cousins, and it will always receive
their united support. .
We close this our farewell the
weekly editions of all daily papers,
with the remark, that griping cour
tesies from a newspaper are as dis
tasteful and odious to us as hide
bond favors from an individual.
OUR EXCHANGES.
The Seaport Aff/yl, of Bruns
wick, again enlivens our sanctum
with its cheerful presence. It is
t
always welcome. ,
“Butler Herald” a neat little
newspaper published in an adjoining
couuty, is the only “patent inside or
out” that reaches Btycna Vista. All
the olhers die on theAyiy here.
Since its absorption'of the Adver
tiser, the Savannah Morning News
is undoubtedly the best' daily news
paper iu Georgia. It/ is a model
journal and we are truly proud of it.
It has no superior in the South.
One of the papers on
our list is the Darien Ga
zette. It is well conducted, and
gives internal evidence df prosperity.
The Uouston Home Journal, a
wide-awake, newsy slice!, lias discov
ered our whereabouts and calls upon

Sectarian Communications.
The Buena Vista Argus is not a
religious or denominational journal.
We will therefore be compelled to re
ject all communications containing
sectarianism, doctrinal disputations,
or anything tending to stir up ill
feelings among the members of the
various churches of our country. This
paper represents no religious sect or
doctrine. It is published iu the in
terest of the people of this section,
whether in the Church or out. Meth
odist, Baptist, Presbyterian, Univer
salist, Episcopal, and the world all
have equal claims upon ns. We,
therefore, cannot admit anything de
trimental to any of them. Democra
tic principles and moral rectitude arc
the leading doctrines of the Argus;
the development of this section, and
the improvement and prosperity of
the .people,.and tho overt hrow of the
Radical party,its aim and object. It
is due to its vital interests that no
religious disputes arise among its cor
respondents.

isert in your pa
diich I feel would
learned that by
self unaccounta
ble, my Methodist friends have been
impressed with the idea that I feel
for them and towards them a bitter
ness very great, and that I have
made use of expressions well calcula
ted to wound their feelings. I avail
myself of this, the earliest, opportu
nity to declare truthfully my feelings
in rcgajv! to that very large and
justly influential body, as well in re
gard to all other Christian organiza
tions. My own convictions of Bible
truth are too well known to require
a statement in this communication.
I have in the pulpit and in private
circles uniformly declared myself in
sympathy with the Baptist. lam
one because my conviction of the lor
chings of the Bible leads me to tho
conclusion that in faith and practice
they arc right. This no one can or
will condemn who claims the right to
the exercise of opinions iu their own
behalf. Ido now and ever have ac
corded to others the privileges I en
joy, to vit: the right to form iny own
opinions. I believe that I am honest,
and I am not so illiberal as to believe
others, who may differ with me, loss
honest. I have a very high regard
for every man or|woman professing to
love God, whose life corresponds with
his or tier profession, and I would
not now, nor never saw the time
when T would have done, one of the
least of the children of the kingdom
the slightest harm, either individually
or collectively. I confess that 1
would be glad if all men could see
alike, so that all Christians would be
one “even as I and the Father arc
one,” but I would not use any other
than arugurnent, based on Bible
truth, to bring about this result ol
so much importance as to have call
ed forth a prayer for its consumma.
tion by oui blessed Jesus.
I have written in kindness, and
feel that it is due me that I should
not be misunderstood by a people for
whom I have so long felt none other
than the kindest relations. Hoping
if any have heretofore believed me
capable of hostility, growing out o*
differences of religious opinions, their
minds may be disabused and that all
may know that I love foul’s people.

General Presentments of Grand Jury
of the October Term of Marion
County Superior Court.
We, the Grand Jury, duly drawn
and sworn, to serve for the October
Term of the Superior Court of Ma.
rion County, commencing October
18th, 1875, after having disposed of
all business, brought before us, res
pectfully submit tho following Gener
al Presentments:
TAX ASSESSOR.
We were pleased to notice the neat
and legible manner, in whsi all the
books and records of the coiihty have
been kept. We have closely, scruti
nized the books of the Tax Assessor
and find that the free-holders of the
county have made just and fair val
uation of all their taxable property,
and that the same lias been recorded
with faithful exactness.
county treasurer. N
The County Treasurer’s books have
been examined and found to be cor
rect in every respect, and show that
the Treasurer has been faithful and
dilligent in the discharge of his d'ht.y.
JUSTICES OF THE PEACE . .
Tho books of the Justices of the
Peace and all the other books of the
county are in good order and condi
tion, ueatly made up and properly
posted.
COUNTY JAIL.
We are sorry to fmd that the jail
is in wretched order, greatly out of
repair and poorly kept. There ex-<
ists a wide difference of opinion in
our body in regard to the disposal
of the jail. Fifteen members recom
mend the building of anew aud more
strong and durable structure for the
jail, selecting another locality lor the
jail lot and disposing of the old iron
cage, now used for the safe keeping
of prisoners. They also recommend
that tiie Ordinary be authorized to
appoint three Commissioners to draw
up the plan, select the location and'
superintend the building of the new
jail. A minority, consisting of five of
our number, (namely, C. W. Pierce,
A. A. Elder, E. J. Ivey, .1. F. Hollis,
and Moses 11. McGarrah, wlioj re
quest that their names bo recorded)
dissent from tho recommendation of
the majority, and bog leave to re
commend, instoad, that the jail be
thoroughly repaired and the iron
cage bo retained and used as hcrcto
fore.
COURT HOUSE.
The committee on the condition of
the Court House find it in good re
pair.
COUNTYCOURT.
After a careful and thorough ex
amination of the matter, we find that
the County Court is a needless ex
pense. Keeping it up costs a large
outlay of money, for which there is
little recompense to the county. The
good derived from it is not commen
surate with the expense of running it.
We, therefore, feel it our duty to re
commend, on the ground of economy,
that it be abolished.
HIS HONOR, JUDGE CRAWFORD.
To his Honor, Judge Crawford, wc
extend our thanks for his courteous
demeanor, polto attention and good
counsels. Wc are much pleased
with his judicial administration, and
we heartily endorse and approve the
appointment, by the Governor, ol
Judge Mar in J. Crawford to the
Judgeship of the Chattahoochee Cir
cuit.
SOLICITOR GENERAL.
Our thanks are also due Solicitor
General W. A. Little, whose indefat
igable labors, in ferreting out crime
and bringing criminals to punishment,
have greatly redounded to the cause
of justice and the safety of our lives
and property. He lias given cheer
ful and prompt attention to all of our
requests, and lias been uniformly po
lite and courteous.
We recommend that these Gener
al Presentments be published in the
Buena Vista Argus, and spread up
on the minutes.
