JtiKlt Hill to the Front.
Wo do not know whether the im
mortal Josh is any kin to Ben Hill or
not, and we would like it understood
that Josh is the man we are talking
about. Josh has written a letter to
the Atlanta Herald, defensive of Sher
man's tont eh to the sea. We suppose
the thought was suggested by a peru
sal of Col. Jonos’ narrative of the
march, whieli suits us very well, but
is not calculated to suit those men
among us whose interests and feel
ings are witli ths other side. Well,
Josh lias done that which might have
been expected of any toady. He ad
mires Klierinan, because if Sherman
ha<l not (men sucessfiil Josh would
never have been known to the people
of Georgia. That march of Sher
man's brought many such creature*
to the surface as Josh, Bullock, Kim
ball aud his “co-laborers.” But,
Josh, you have not persuaded the
women and children on this subject,
for they wore the only foes Sherman
encountered men being at the front.
It was truly a grand march, when we
think who opposed him. With a
hundred thousand veterans (?) charg
ing on hen roasts and breaking into
houses, he whipped out eight thou
sand lonely women, widows and
orphans. .Such an exploit deserves
to be written upon tablets of brass,
and It is a question who can best ren
der the service, Josh or Kimball and
his “co-laborer.”
Mrnalor Johnson on fhr situation.
Sonator Johnson Ims been very
free with his tongue ; has expressed
himself as opposed to Grant, the
third terra, and the crowd of vul
tures now around Washington. He
says, however, that he has no inten
tion to make use of his place in the
Senate, to resent any of the wrongs
done him, and the slights and perse
cutions he suffered while President.
Ho disclaims any resentment in the
matter, but says he feels his course
mapped out for the re-organization
of the Southern States, has met the
approval of the South, and that the
l>oliey of Grant has been repudiated
by them. Ho expresses himself as in
favor of “hard money,” and will ad
vocate the speedy return to a specie
basis.
Andy is a great man, but he is en
tirely mistaken If he thinks the
South endorses his plan of recon
struction. The people of the South
did not approve his plan, and of
course thoy did not approve Grant’s.
Either plan is working disaster to the
South, and wo submit to Grant’s
rule, ouly because wo can’t help it.
We hope, now that Mr. Johnson has
dropped back In the ranks of the re
spectability of Tennessee, that he
will cease quoting Ids Presidential
record as an evidence of his fitness,
but will go to work, and assist in the
redemption of the South, by a manly
defense, and not by evading the true
questions at issue.

11. I. Kluiball.
The people of Georgia will congrat
ulate Gov. Smith on his refusal to
appoint H. I. Kimball to be the super
vising aroljtect of Georgia. While
it Is nothing more than simple justice
to tlie people, yet tho Governor had
to withstand a considerable pressure,
as nearly two thousand people of At
lanta had asked the Governor for his
appointment.
Kimball and his “co-laborers” have
already done sufiicient harm to Geor
gia, without again placing him in a
position where ho might steal some
thing. But to think of the cheek of
tho man! Not satisfied witli tuning
robbed the treasury of Georgia of
millions of dollars, ho comes back to
Atlanta and asks for a position under
u Demoerutie Governor. This propo
sition beats anything we have ever
heard of, and the decision of Milton
Smith is simply a just retribution.
Kimball is a groat “developer,” and
for three years ho “developed” At
lanta witli tho State’s money, but
more effectually put money in the
pockets of Kimball, Bullock & Cos.
Whenever a man sinks so low as to
try to raise himself by mentioning
himself as an “assistant developer
iynd ty-laborer "of Kimball's, be has
*resdrte<r To an extreme argument in j
favprof his baseness. Who seconds
Kimball V Certainly no Southern man
whf> pays taxes ? Atlanta is consid
erably mixed with the "New England
reserve,” and among these Kimball
finds liis supporters.
The Bfrwro nml the Civil IIIkIiIs nlll.
What Is to become of the negro,
when he begins to air himself on tHo
Civil Bights bill, Is yet unknown;;
though the verdict of tho owners of
the country has made known their
decision. Such a law most effectually
throws tho negro more on his own
resources than over before; and his.
resources mean, in emphatic words,
his muscle, and what it is worth in
the fields of cotton, corn, and obe
dience. Experience has demonstrated
clearly to his race that no reliance
can be put in his so-called friends at
the North, and if he prosjHus it must
bo by the hands of the white people
of the South. In this way, and in no
other, can the negro race among us
aspire to reach any degree of pros
perity. So soon as they attempt to
put themselves where they do not
belong, just so soon will they find
their safety involved, and their
chances for iwlpfiom the white peo
ple cut off. We hope they will not
allow V heitmehroS to become boastful,
or insulting, and that each one of
them may realize ?ho truth that the
law was hot jmssed in their interests,
but in the interests of the Adminis
tration.
bxivltiive.
The members of the Georgia Gen
eral Assembly have somo eon
solution in kuowlug that they are
matched elsewhere Witness the
following from the Chicago Tribune :
“Tlie Legislature of Illinois has now
l>ecn in session more than six weeks, and
lias accomplished nothing. Tho people
and the press of tlie State having already
pronounced it to lie a mortifying failure,
now (Mimes tho Legislature itself, mid, in
the cauetis of the pseudo-Reform mem
bers of tlie House, virtually acknowledges
tlie fact t>y a public declaration oflits want
of a leader, and Its Inability to agree upon
any programme sufficiently practicable to
insure the oassago of tint legislation need
ed for the Btate.
This was the fix the Georgia Legis
lature found themselves in, for the
lawyers wanted to load, and tlie
Grangers dissented, claiming they
should control. The consequence
was, nothing was done, and tho only
protection the State had, was In tlie
failure of ail to agree. The Gov
ernor has, up to date, approved two
hundred of their bills, but of what
nature we know not. We hope tlie
right was not guaranteed to Mr.
Snoodles to have exclusive right of a
country road, or Mr: Tetotuller to
sell liquor within three miles of a
church, or of Jno. Barleycorn to run
rough-shod over tlie members of the
Legislature.
Asa flting tribute to the adjourn
ment of our Legislature, Mr. Some
body, of nowhere, introduced a reso
lution to observe the lsth of March
as a day of fasting und prayer. We
supjioso to return thanks for"the ad
journment. The resolution favors
printers, for if it. becomes a law, we
have to take time to worship just as
other people.
Spain.— Poor little Alfonso must
have a pleasant time of it. The Car
lists, who were not to be dispersed as
soon as Hjiaiu was furnishod with a
bran new King, seem to lie as lively
as ever and in no hurry to subside.
By tlie latest accounts, they made a
desperate assault on Bilbao, and
wore repulsed only by a vigorous ap
plication of the bayonet. An attack
on tho Carlist lntrenchments by the
garrison of Bilbao was repulsed with
vigor, and now tlie two sides are even
again. In this little display, the Al
fonsist troops lost three or four hun
dred men, killed and wounded, and
as tlie Carlist loss must have been
equally heavy, some seven hundred
tall fellows had the pleasure of being
shot, down for the honor and profit
of tlie. two pretenders to the Spanish
throne.
Rf.i.iuiocm Wah in Mkxioo.—lt is not
surprising that a people so much ad
dicted to settling political disputes
by the sword, should imagine that re
ligious differences ought to be dealt
with in a similar manner. Somo en
thusiastic; missionaries are engaged
in the work of Protestantizing the
Mexican Indians, which that section
of tlie Mexican population which
looks upon an unbeliever as in somo
way or another intimately connected
with the father of all evil, cuts their
heads off. Religious liberty is guar
anteed by tho law in Mexico, so far as
law in (hat unhappy country can
guarantee anything; but practically
only tho popular form of religion Is
tolerated outside the principal cities.
A siNcuiLAß incident occurred in the
U. 8. Supreme Court last Friday. A
distinguished lawyer, who was pre
sent to plead a cause, arose and ad
dressed the Court without removing
his overcoat. Instantly the Justices
commenced whispering together over
this infraction of tho respect due the
Court, and the Chief Justice stopped
the learned counsel in his argument
and directed him to remove his outer
garment. They probably considered
it Irrelevant to the suit. Stir. Nrtrs.

—STKAfiOIO I>WAPPEARANCE PROM THE
CARS.
Washington, February 20. On the
arrival of the train from Richmond
at Alexandria, this morning, it was
discovered that ex-Sonator James \V.
Nye, who, when last seen, occupied
a section in ttie sleeping ear, was
missing. His boots were still in his
berth. He was on his way North
from Jacksonville, Fla., with his
daughter, Mrs. Walter, and his ser
vant, He retired tlie previous even
ing in usual health. It is supposed
he got up in the night in a dazed
condition, and walked off or fell off
the ear while in motion, as lie hud
not been heard from at anv of the
stations where the train stopped
Some fears have lately been felt by
his friends that his mental faculties
wore waning, and on this aoeouut lie
was induced to join his daughter in
Florida, whither she had gone for the
benefit of her health.
LATEII—NYE FOUND IN RICHMOND.
Washington, February 26.—A tele
gram from Riohmond says Senator
Nye has been found there, all safe
and nearly nude. It seems ho slipped
out just as the train started, and con
cealed himself in tho depot.— Atlanta

The advocates of female suffrage
threaten that if Congress doesn’t
grunt, them the right, to vote before
i the 4th of July, 1876, they will call a
national convention and invite to it
nil the suffrage-shrieking women of
the whole world. Suppose, says the
Courier-Journal, with characteristic
heartlossness, all the strong-minded
women of tho world should meet In
convention, and just then a great
earthquake should come along and
swallow them all up! What a heart
rending calamity it would be! The
man who can contemplate such a
frightful event without weeping bit
terly is a wretch without a tear—a
monster of unheard-of atrocity.
End or the Tariff Bill.- The Sen
ate ended Monday’s session at 12.30
Tuesday morning by laying the Tar
iff hill on the table bv a vote of 30 to
20. So there's an end of it not only
for this session but for all time; for
it may be said with entire safety tint
all movements in tariff taxation will
be downward after tlie new Congress
goes In. The Democrats will legislate
for revenue aud not for “protection”
so-called.
—Local item in the Covington En
terprise : “A Covington man arose in

ing his wife in the stomach several
times with the instrument, wildly

The Thomasville Times says:
“Tlie citizens of tho west side of the
river were shocked on last Tuesday
morning by the killing of S. W. Wil
cox by G. W. Forester. The circum
stances were as follows, taken from
the verdict of the Coroner’s jury: It
seems that Forester has some time
suspected that improper relations
were existing between his wife and
Wilcox. On Tuesday morning For
ester left home, telling his wife he
would be gone all day. Returning
home during the morning, lie found
his wife aud Wilcox secreted in a
thicket near the house. He rushed
upon Wilcox, and it is said literally
carved him to pieces. He was stab
lied three times, we understand, in
the region of the heart; his throat
cut from ear to ear, and disenihowl
ed. The verdict of the jury makes
the act justifiable.
—The Savannah News savs: "We
learn from a passenger by the Atlan
tic and Gulf Railroad yesterday
morning that the train from Talahos
soo on Saturday night met with au
accident a short distance from Live
j Oak, caused by a broken rail, one of
the ears being thrown from the

gers were severely injured, receiving
cuts about the head and face. We
learn that Mr. (!. E. Di ke, of the
Tallahassee Floridian, who was on
his way to Savannah on the train,
was tlie most seriously injured of the
party, being removed from the ear in
an unconscious condition. His head
j was badly cut, but our informant
! could not give any definite informa
tion as to the character and extent of
his injuries. The damage to the car
was slight, and the accident only oc
casioned a detention of a few hours.

Hon. John Bruce, at present a
member of the Legislature from Wil
cox county, and a native, we believe,
of Wisconsin, was confirmed on Sat
urday last, as Judge of the United
States District Court of Alabama.
We know nothing of Mr. Bruce’s an
tecedents, or liis competency to fill
the position.
The object of tlie bill passed bv
the Legislature of Alabama, repeal
ing the law relieving railroads of
county taxes so far as the counties
of Tallapoosa. Barbour, Chambers
! and Lee are concerned, is to enable
those counties to meet tlie yearly
heavy demands on them for interest
on their subscriptions to railroads.
Lee is taxed to provide interest on her
bonds given n subscription to the Sa
vannah and Memphis, and East Ala
bama and Cincinnati railroads; Tal
lapoosa on her bonds to the first
named; Chambers on the bonds to
the E. A. and C. railroad; Barbour
on a projected road to Vicksburg.
By taxing these roads, the counties
named may raise tho means to pay
their interest.
Jlrooklgn Argus A correspondent
sends us some lines commencing
••Oh! let mo lie on the hillside cool.
And batliu my brow in the limpid pool."
The request is a modest one, and so
far us we are concerned, it is granted;
but it seems, nevertheless, that a per
son who wants to lie on tho hillsido.

tin- year, could find much more prof
itable employment in the Knieker

namely :
Lots of land in the city of Columbus, known as

of No. 48, viz.: the part occupied by Emrich and
that occupied by Middlebrooks; tho tenement
occupied by Bchober, the gunsmith, ou Randolph

each has about Iti feet on Randolph street, and
extend back 70 feet; one-half interest in the
stable aud appurtenances occupied by Disbro A

(KeUet’s corner); south half of lot No. ft in Court
House Square, adjoining Venable on the north.

Also, the homestead of the said Seaborn Jones
in the Bth district of Muscogee county, bounded
on the south by the Coweta Reserve, containing
175 acres, more or less. The dwelling house has
a slate roof, and cost at least S2O,UUU. It has fif
teen rooms, including the basement, one well
fitted up for a green house. There are copious
springs convenient, which once supplied a fish
pond, now dry, but into which the water may be
again admitted at a small expense, and the pond
is ca(>able of great enlargement without much
cost. I suppose about hall of the land is cleared; I
the balance is wooded, mostly in long leaf pine, j
A large and well constructed book case in the
dwelling will also be sold.
Also, a part of lot 71, in the Bth district, some- !
