LAE&EST DAILY CIEOULATION
In (lly and Muhnrln !
To Our Friends.
We do not believe In self-iirtiiwe, but
we cannot refrain from thanking our
friends on this Sabbath morning for
the great success our efforts have
met, through their generous patron
age; and this necessitates telling how
well wo have progressed.
We do not say it in an extravagant
spirit, but wo are more than abun
dantly satisfied with the unprece
dented success our enterprise has sus
tained from the public generally.
Starting the Duly Times on a week’s
notice, wo received from the begin
ning aid from the merchants, formers
und mechanics to a greater extent
than any similar enterprise has ever
received; for our advertising columns
wore Ailed with the advertisements of
the best merchants in the place, while
the names of the best men within a
radius of Hfty miles of Columbus were
found on our subscription book. Our
advertising Ims steadily increased
from day to day, and our subscription
list lias grown larger with each day’s
work, until to-day wo claim the larg
est daily city circulation of any pa
per published in Western Georgia.
We owe all this to the Arm stand we
have taken in declaring ourselves the
ADVOCATES OF TliE SoCTH, AND IIKH
slandered people, and in daring to
assert, the self-respect of Georgians.
We are in earnest in saying this coun
try BELONGS tO tile WHITE MEN, Ulld
should be governed jiv them; and so
long ns wo are able to publish a jol
lier it shall bo in that belief. These
and like principles have touched a
rosponsivo chord in the hearts of our
people, and with one accord they
have come to our support.
Vague rumors were one time afloat
that others than the proprietors wore
interested in this journal, but our
friends audtlmoput a quietus on this
damaging report. Some who did not
wish us to succeed prophesied our ear
ly failure, and to tills wo say, so long
as our friends continue to give us the
same hourly support they are now
extending, there is no such word as
“fail” known in our vocabulary. We
hope to continue to merit the good
will of the public, and will use every
exertion to give them a Democratic,
white man’s paper. Those of our
friends in adjoining counties where
the impassable roads have rendered
it, almost impossible to see through
our agents, will find us anxious to
place their names on our list.
The Civil IllKhtg Hill.
We were lather hasty yesterday in
annuunoing tiie final passage of the
Civil Rights bill. We were misled by
our noon dispatches, when the article
was written. The bill, before it be
comes a law, has to go back to the
Senate for its concurrence in the
House amendments, it being under
the rules almost a House bill. This,
however, does not alter the case, for
without the least doubt the Senate
will pass it right away, and the Presi
dent will as readily affix his signature
to it. The party headed by Butler is
using every endeavor to degrade and
oppress us, und such men as Chandler
and Carpenter, who have been invited
by the peoplo to leave tho Senate, will
exert themselves to accomplish Ibis
infamous work, while they are in
power. Another Congress and it will
bo too late.
• ♦
Civilized and enlightened Penn
sylvania oomes to the front again
and teaches “its barbarians" how to
behave ourselves in public assem
blages. It is shocking to think that
pious and Jaw-abiding Pennsylvania
should indulge as described below :
"A dispatch from Harrisburg says n dis
graceful scone occurred in tho Pennsylva
nia House of Representatives on the night
of tho Ist inst., growing out of a motion to
refer a petition of citizens of Lancaster
City contesting tho seat of l i. P. Rosomillor,
Republican, ns n member of tho Legisla
ture, to tho Committee on the Judidarv.
The Issue being joined on parliamentary
points, Mr. Wolfe, Republican, came in
conflict with the Speaker, who Anally or
dered Wolfo under arrest, when the' Re
publican members rushed to the defense of
their colleague and wrested him from the
hands of the Sergoant-at-Arms. In tho
midst of the commotion, the Bpoaker ad
journed the House. During tiie melee pis
tols were drawn.”
♦—
Several members of the Legislu
lature are introducing divers bills to
prohibit whislfty drinking in tiie
State, and seem very much interested
in tho temperance movement. We
don’t exactly understand how to rec
oncile all the bills on temperance,
with tho following resolution intro
duced into that body by a worthy
member:
"A joint committee from the Senate nnd
House, composed of physicians, will in
vestigate the nature and cause of so much
“Saturday sickness" among members,
and report a remedy for the alarming dis
ease."
Rev. Dr. Harrison, in his lecture in
the cause of temperance, concludes
that drunkenness is not a crime, but
a disease. He read to his audience |
the following, as the first prohibitory
law, made by tiie council of London
for the province of Georgia in 1735:
“Whereas, a great many lives have been
destroyed In Georgia by the drinking of
rum; therefore,
"Resolved, That no more rum in' allow
ed to be brought into tiie Province of Geor
gia."
The sale of gold by the Treasury
Department! is will cease. It is
authoritatively announced to that ef
fect. Tliis is occasioned by tiie de
crease of the revenue derived from
customs due, which are required to
be paid in gold.
Mrs. Tilton, the dispatches inti
mate, will not be allowed to take the
stand, although counsel for tiie de
fence will make a sturdy effort to
have her mouth opened. Whatever
may be the legal or technical objec
tions, the general public would cer
tainly like to hear what the woman
might say on one vital point.

[Wc take great pleasure in answer
| Ing all questions in our power, and
hereafter every Hum lay we will devote
sufficient, space to answers to each
question submitted to us during tho
previous week.]
E. L. H.—Yes, we will with pleasure
ansvfer suoh questions as we can, and
| it will bo our highest hope to make
| The Times what you predict for it.
| The information you desire, however,
J is of a nature so delicate that its agi
j tation in the public prints could only
lie productive of ill feeling, if not of
! actual collisions. Please excuse us
lon that lino. Our columns ure over
I open for legitimate controversy.
Itoln-rt J. T. Your letter is rather
i lengthy, and tho information or ad
vice asked for goes to that extent and
degree of particularity rendering it
out of our power fully to comply.
We would that our time and space
were commensurate with your desire
for culture and solid Information.
Wo will give you our idea as to the
plays of Shakspeare most likely to
entertain you, and store your mind
with useful learning. The list is as
I follows: Tempest, Merchant of Ven
ice, Macbeth, Henry IV., Richard
i 111., Julius Caesar, King Lear, Romeo
jand Juliet, Hamlet, and Othello.
These are not one-third of Shaks
jiearo’s plays, and many persons,
doubtless, would object to this selec
tion ; but you know the old maxim,
“l)c gustikus non disputandum.”
“Sir John Falstaff” was not a real
character. Si r John Fnstolfe, who
lived during the first half of the fif
teenth century, was supposed to have
been the original from whom the poet
drew his creation.
You and your friend, as men often
are, were both wrong in your dispute
as to tiie origin of tho line, “God
tempers tiie wind to the shorn lamb. ”
It is neither in Shakspeare nor the
Bible. It first occurs in “Sterne’s
Sentimental Journey.”
Harris .- The next Presidential elec
tion docs not take place until No
vember, 1876. We can not think the
Republicans will show so little party
sagacity as to nominate Grant for a
third term. We will say, however, in
reply to your inquiry or suggestion,
that under no circumstances do we
1 think it would be prudent in the De
| mocracy to nominate Gen. Sherman.
In the first place, Sherman has
■ never even pronounced for us. See
i onaly, the whole country is tired out
iof military rule, or anything that
savors of it. Thirdly, we consider
Sherman but an educated (Jamanche,
to whom nature, by a singular freak,
gave a white skin, and whose natural
cruelty nnd ferocity can scarcely be
said to have been tuned down by his
contact with civilization. To nonii
! natc him would be an insult to Ocor
| gia and the South.
Etta. If tiie young gerttieinan to
whom you are engaged is less fre
quent in liis visits, and less marked
in his attentions than heretofore, it is
a pretty good sign that he is cooling
down in his Affections. His constant
notification of you that he prefers a
long engagement, is, to our mind,
proof conclusive that he prefers, as
the saying goes, to “gamble on the
chances.” Long continued engage
ments, are often not consummated;
for the very fact itself is evidence of
indecision in one or both of the
parties. Confide everything to your
mother; she is capable of being your
best counsellor in such an emergency.
Invalid. We can only give you the
benefit of wliat we have learned from
medical men of distinction, when we
tell you that tho sunflower is, to
some extent, a protection against
malaria, and consequently against
common chills. The seed mast, of
j course, tic planted rather profusely
around the premises. No; the fruit
!or flower does not follow the sun
that is only a vagary of ignorance
and credulity. It takes its name from
its fancied resemblance to tiie sun
the convex surface and circular pin t
containing the seed, corresponding to
| the disc, and tiie yellow petals to tiie
rays of tiie sun at midday.
Emory.- You concisely express our
mind when you say that tiie “bane of
modern times is too much legisla
tion.” You ask “why tiie Legisla
ture can not restrict the agitation of
certain questions at least for a series
of years”? Simply because an act of
that kind would be mere brutnm fid
men- one Legislature having plenary
powers to undo what another lias
done. The State government is a
corporation that never dies; the
Legislature is an arm of tiiat, govern
ment. When, therefore, one Legisla
ture passes an act, another lias the
right to amend, modify, or repeal it;
because they are supposed to be tiie
same body, it being by legal construc
tion only the master revoking by his
second thought, that which he com
manded by his dictum. You never
saw anew comer to a group sur
rounding a tire on a cold day who did
not “punch” it, though burning never
so well.
Mechanic. To our understanding
the reward of two million dollars
voted years ago bv Congress to any
discoverer of perpetual motion, is
still of force. Congress could safely
make it two thousand million, as the
whole idea is a physical absurdity.
! You had better stick to your hammer
and jack-plane; for after all your loss
of time and money, in, as you sup
pose, perfecting your machinery, you
will find tiiat. your yoldcn draughts
will, like Dead Sea fruits, “turn to
ashes on your lips.”
Specif Payment.— Platina is heavier
than gold, the specific gravity of the
one being about 211, of the other 19}.
Gold was worth 12 times its weight in
silver until the discovery of tiie great
silver mines of Potosi, in South
America, about the middle of the 16th
century. The value of gold was not
very long after fixed at 1C times its
weight in silver, on account of the
abundance of the latter. The reason
assigned in history why Lycurgus
made iron money the medium of cir
culation, was to prevent oxtravagance
among thaLaeodiemonians. It would
be utterly impracticable in modem
Society indeed its use as mentioned
is deemed apoehryphal by the most
approved authority.
Amicus. You are wrong this time.
Asa general rale don’t contend with
a German ns to German history’and
events—unless you are fresh from the
most authentic sources of informa
tion. Wo usually find them tiie best
posted people in the world about those
things they profess to know. It was
Frederick William, the fattier of
Frederick tiie Great, and not tiie lat
ter, as you suppose, who had such a
penchant tor six and a half feet gren
adiers. This old Frederick William
was a good ruler, in a material way,
but extremely intolerant in his opin
ions. When ‘‘cornered" in debate he
invariably cursed and kicked his ad
versary, which caused u courtier, no
ted for never opposing him, to say
“that he could not affoTd to differ
with a monarch who entertained such
deckled views, and wore such unmer
cifully thick• boots!’’
Ol It ATLANTA LETTER.
Spf'cli! Correspond -hup Daily Times.]
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 5,1875.
The Legislature lias been in session
for nineteen days, und yet they have
done no practical legislation. No j
measure of importance to the State.j
has been perfected. The members
generally are sloshing around, all j
looking wise and saying but little. \
It is amusing to see how self-satisfied
a great many look when they come
to vote on any measure effecting the
relation between merchants and far
mers. They seem to scout a rat from
afar, and in the interest of the agri-1
cultural fraternity, many votes arc
cast against the commercial interest
of the whole people-farmers, mer
chants and laborers. There is a big
effort to re-enact the Usury law and
to oppose the Lien law. The rejec
tion of tho latter will prove as disas
trous to tho farmer as to the commis
sion merchant.
Tiie Legislature has expended most
of its time in considering local laws
and class legislation. From observa- •
(ions, we think it would be a good:
idea to only hold a session every two !
years, and then pay one hundred dol
lars a session. In this way it would*
be but a short while'before the Legis
lature would adjourn. These remarks j
do not apply to all, for in the Georgia :
Legislature are men of patriotism !
and brains. From Muscogee you
have a Senator and two Represcnta- j
fives who legislate for the good of
the State, and deprecate this idle
waste of time, indulged in by so
many members.
Ben Hill has been endorsed by sev
eral meetings, but to-day he finds a
live competitor in Hon. W. IJ.1 J . Price,
tho present.encumbent. He has been
waited on by a number of citizens
of the district, and lias agreed to run
the race.
Yesterday Mr. Quinn, the member
from Wilkes county, attempted to
cross the Whitehall street crossing
while a train of cars were standing
across the street. He tried to cross
by going between the freight ears,
but no sooner had he mounted the
bumper than tiie train started and
caught his foot, nearly mashing it off.
He was not extricated until the train
had moved fifteen yards. He was
conveyed to his room, and it is only
possible tiiat liis foot may be saved.
News lias just come to the city that
Mr. George Devanny, conductor on
the Air Line Road, was stabbed and
instantly killed by a negro named
Phinizy Williams, near Mount Airy.
Dovaney was conductor on the gravel
train, and Williams was a hand on
his train. It seems Williams was on
tiie chain gang some years ago, and
at the same time Devaney was the
whipping-master. He had cause to
whip Williams several times, and-for
that Williams entertained a grudge,
which terminated in Devaney’s mur
der. The whole country was report
ed as hunting for the negro, with
hounds, but as yet no capture has
linen made.
Outside of Legislative circles ugood
deal of comment was occasioned by
tiie defalcation of Mr. Walter Perr\.
bookkeeper of George W. Ailair, the
live fcal estate agent. He lifted Mr.
Adair to the tune of $3,500 and left
for the West. Heretofore lie has
borne a good character, and is well
connected. The {tapers attribute his
crime to gambling and women. That
is enough to ruin him, or any other
man, and the young men of Atlanta
who knew him, should learn a lesson
from liis experience.
To-day the Senate hud under con
sideration a bill to re-enact tho mer
chants’ lien law. It was argued at
great, length, but after much, debate
tiie bill to re-enact, was lost by a vote
of 22 to 12. The bill was reconsider
ed, and the friends of the law still
think t.lie bill, as reported by the
Senate committee, will be passed.
Atlanta has been too much “done”
with lectures, speeches, Ac., for the
lust month. Everybody wants to
make a public speech at night in the
•Opera House. If they can’t make
speeches, then everybody wants to
have a ball. Several balls are on
hand this week. We go to them all,
and “keep up with the proceedings,
even if it kills the horse.”

Betting on the Verdict. - At one of
the liquor saloons, of New York, on
Saturday evening, says tiie Herald.
pools were sold on the result of the
Beecher trial. The basis of the pools
was a disagreement of tiie jury against
a verdict. A disagreement, as the
first choice, sold for SSO; the second
choice for $25. A verdiet for 'niton,
third choice, brought $2, while n ver
dict for Beecher brought sl.
Evarts, one of Beecher’s counsel, is
to receive a fee of twenty-five thou

friends.
