THE DAILY TIMES. Columbus, Oa., ( > SATURDAY MAY 22, 1878. Tmtahf., i ~ M|tsn l . 11. WIU.IAMH. I LABSEBT DAILY OIHOULATIOH In City and Mtihurb*. RKMOVAL. Tii Timkh Office bw baen removed from Gun \iy‘* Building to the old Enquirer Office, on Ran dolph street, third door west of the Pont Office. Thk Carlists and Alphonaoists in Spain urn shootlnff pop kiuih nt. each other. Bkcrktar¥ Bristow now looms up as a possible candidate for the Presi dency. Thk Now York Sun is a guerilla newspaper. It bushwaoks “the young editor.” Ex-President Davis' speech nt Houston Texas, is generally applaud ed by the Northern press. Ain. Bowen claims the merit of the appointment of the new Attorney General Edward PeirrejKjut. Civilization is progressing in Ja pan. The present Mikado seems to 1)0 an enlightened Prince. Hecretaiiv Fish is evidently a shark. His "test oath ofTer” to Major Hillyer is sharking! A fund of $13,000 has been raised by the women of Richmond, for the erection of a monumnot to General Robert E. Lee. Fon the last two years the book trade, as a whole, has not been in a highly prosperous condition in the United States. Duluth is just now highly excited over the query: "Is a whltewasher an artist V' No; but about the only artists Du luth has aro whltewasher*. To make a tall man short try to borrow five dollars of him. The same thing will make a long face of a short one. Beeksheba Stbinoh, located in Grandy county Tenn., is situated on a range of mountains that rise near ly 3,000 feet abovo the Tennessee river. The taxes of tho country have been Increased, for no other reason in the world than that our Internal Reve nue and Custom Houso officials nro in league with thloves. Ct;i)A ought now to be recognized. We honestly think Spain would be in tietter condition if Cuba was inde pendent. The ‘‘ever faithful Isle” is a costly luxury. Charles Reade, tho novelist, and Mortimer Collins, a London verse and story writer, are publicly quarrelling in a way that seems to show that neither is a gentleman. The San Francisco Post says: Real estate in Vallejo, California, has fallen sixty per cont. in value. Grass grows in its onee busy sireets. Evi dently “all is not gold that glitters.” - TnKpeople of Westmoreland coun ty, Penn., have just celebrated their one hundredth anniversary. When counties take to this sort of thing, we think there is a plethora of cen tennials in the ‘‘norating” market. The New York Sun calls John Rus sel Young, formerly managing editor of the New York Tribune, a sneak nows thief. Why in thunder don’t those New York editors cut each others’ throats, or put sand In each others' eyes! “The young editor” does not pro [•osa to be sued for libel by that cross examiner, Mr. Fullerton. Ho has procured a number of article from correspondents perhaps they were written in that high tower of Babel who rasf) the learned Judge in mer ciless style. Sensible fellow, that Outlaw Reid. Wanted in Columbus, a herdsman (ltanchero?) to look after tho im mense number of cattle roaming at large in our streots. Columbus is the largest stock farm In Georgia, so fur as the number of is cattle and hogs aro concerned. There are dogs enough, too, to supply the .United States. The parties for “geographical ex plorations and surveys west of the 100th meridian,” under tho Engineer Bureau of the War Department, and in immediate charge of Lieut. George M. Wheeler, U. S. Engineers, will again tako tho held during the month, tho main points of departure being Pueblo, Colorado, and Los An geles, Cal. The Irish language is fast disap pearing from tho speech of the peo ple in Ireland, and there are not many of tho nativo youth who con oven understand it. The Archaeolo gical Association of Ireland lias asked the Commissioners of Educa tion to “preserve the Irish tongue from being lost,” And have It regu larly taught in tho schools. The Prince of Wales, in his tour in India, will bo dressed like an Eastern potentate, in a big turban and baggy trousers, and his equipage will be as magnificent as it can bo made. Tho Intention, of courso, is to dazzle the hatives with a spectacular exhibition of their future ruler. Tho cost of this royal show will be about a million of dollars. _ The cows of Alderney, according to a recent visitor to that island, aro milked throe times a day, and the milk churned without skimming. They are fed on grass and vraie, the latter being a seaweed, and are kept much of the time in the shade. A pound of butter a day is not an un common yield for a good cow. The breed is defended nguinst admixture bv stringent laws, and no cattle aro allowed to be taken itrto the island except to be slaughtered. A DauiaHeiis Blade. We alludo to the letter from Gov. Smith, of Ooorgia, to Secretary Fish. 'ln this mauly letter our Governor return* tho commission of Major Hillyer, ns Commissioner for Georgia at the Centennial Exhibition at Phil adelphia, declining to bo tho medium through which this commission Is tendered to Major Hillyer. Tho Gov ernor’s reasons nro given elsewhere in his own terse, decided language, and will bo echoed by every honest man in Georgia. When Secretary Fish seeks to make the Commissioner subscribe to tho odious test oath of loyalty to tho central government at Washington, having reference to the past as well as to the prosent, he excludes all our whito citizens—our Governors, Justices, Judges—in short, officials in every rank—wore Identi fied with us during tho war. Even sorno of tho most pronounced of our Union men now in office, had tho “cockade” placed on their hats at our meetings in tho boginning of the war. It would be as sensible and ap propriate to require every white man in the South to vacato his office and declare himself a felon, as to require such an oath from our leading men. No proper representative of the Southern people can take that oath; the very centennial itself revolts against it; Secretary Fish has made himself odious by it; the Southern whites, though sincere in accepting the results of tho war, are a unit against it; and the whole Southern press should so declare. There seems to be no doubt that Fish will retire from tho Cabinet at the end of tho fiscal year, unless he should decide not to. Such, at least, is tho conclusion to be drawn from the various rumors in circula tion at Washington and along tho telegraph wires of tho country. Let him go! Hr. WllMin's woutlirrii Tour. This is tho off-year in politics, and politicians aro acting accordingly. But, whatever may bo the motive, wo can not hesitate to approve of Mr. Wilson’s tour of discovery. We believe it is bound to yield good fruit. If ho lias any chivalry in his nature he must be favorably impressed with tho warm welcome which has greeted his appearance wherever he has trav eled. While no sycophantic adula tion nor whining self-reproaches have characterized tho people whom he has met, yet the desire to restore the relations which formerly existed between the different sections was universally apparent. We can think of Air. Wilson as an earnest man, charitable and sincere, however great were the injuries he aided to heap upon this poor but energetic country. He should go back, determined to re pair the ruin wrought by his honest errors (if they were honest), and a grateful people will bless his declin ing years ns much as they cursed him in liis sturdy manhood. If physiog nomy is a true guide tho Vice Presi dent is not a bad man; and if his own utternneo is tho truthful expression of his heart he is determined to be friend the South. Below wc give an extract from his speech at St. Louis: Mr. Wilson responded briefly, thauking the gentlemen for the com pliment paid him, and wishing them prosperity. He said he came not to Bjieak of public affairs, nor had they anything to do with his visit. He hud been traveling in Kentucky,Ten nessee and Arkansas, and had re ceived nothing but kindness from all witli whom ho had mot. Ho had como to tho conclusion that there were great efforts making to improve that section of the country. There was more peace and order and hope and confidence than at any timo since the close of tho war. He trust ed it would increase, and that in eve ry section of our country wo should come to know each other better, and lovo each other more than we have done. We have, ho said, a magnifli cent continental empire; we have proved ourselves iu peace and war a brave people; we aro a strong people; united we stand against the world. United wo aro to be, and it is the duty of the patriot and the Christian to bind every section of this land to gether iu bonds of lovo, uffeetion a’nd interest. This country is large enough for us all, for every race, and we should, by word and act, concede equal lights to all men; put into our hearts what we put into our Constitu tion and laws, and peace and har mony, brotherly love, and a rivalry in doing good and in building up the country, will animate every heart in every section of tho land. Frer lluilwuy Tlrk<*t. In common with other newspapers in Georgia wc have availed ourselves of Tree passes over railways, granted at our request—that request being based on the profession of journalism. We presume these free passes are given in the courteous spirit which physicians adopt in not charging for services rendered other physicians; especially sinoe we make it a point to send our Daily to each railway com pany granting theso passes. For the benefit of all concerned, however, wo take occasion to say that while we will accept such passes, we will not on that account be partial, partisan or unsparing in our criticism of public men, whether corporation or State officials. If such criticism— which we do not intend shall be scurrilous, or unwarranted by facts requiring publication pro bonopublico —should not be approved by the parties so criticized, we will refund the amounts due them if we had not received theso freo passes, and thus be ever unfettered; "sans pair el. sans reproohe.” _ The New York Sun says: “The white property holders in the South who complain so bitterly of the dis organization of labor and the ruinous effects of negro rule, will find the surest remedy for these evils in con ciliatory and persevering efforts to educate tho blacks to a proper under standing of their own interests, which are plainly identical with those of their whito neighbors. In some sec tions of the South this may require a great deal of patience and forbear ance, sinoo in many communities where the colored element predomi nate, tho negroes, under the teach ings of their carpet-bag leaders, have become excessively aggressive toward the whites.” We know this as well as you do. But it requires fair dealing and just laws to enablo us to get money enough. At presold we can scarcely educate the whito clement. Tako away from tho State of New York a thousand millions of dollars, and you would hardly be so enthusiastic concerning public education supported by State tuxes, ut home. “Do unto others as you would have them do uuto you,” friend. We hope the rays of the Sun will not be so direct as to blind its j readers to a true vision of tho facts.; The laying of anew floor in the I composing room of tho Now Y’ork World is tho occasion of congratula tions from the Pope in Latin; La Rovuo des Deux Mondes In French;: Tho Nord Deustehor Dounerkell in j German ; The London Saturday Re view and a host of American jour- j nals. The most striking feature of this “solid, yet springy floor,” Is that the floor is composed of altern ate layers of Maine and Georgia pine and oak. Germany has already added two and a half millions of emigrants to our population, and she is likely to send us a great many more. The recent diplomatic correspondence with Belgium and the t umors of war that grew out of it have given a tre mendous impulse to emigration, and every ocean steamship tiiat comes into port brings a great company of robust young Germans in tho steer- a K <! ' ... At the Social Science Congress, j Mr. Dorman B. Eaton, of the Civil l Service Reform read a paper from j which we extract tho following ; "During eight years,” he said,; “Washington removed but nine per sons except for cause; John Adams, during his term, removed but nine, j and not one on account of opinions ; ! Jefferson removed but thirty-nine;! Madison only five; Monroe only l nine; J. Q. Adams only two. These 1 were officers confirmed by the Sen ate. Of what might be called the clerical force, not one was removed save for cause until Andrew Jackson was elected, when the era of political proscription began, from which wo are now recovering. For partisan reasons that President removed nearly 2,000 persons in a single year. ] This was the inauguration of the! spoils system.” The New York Tribune asks : “Will the reader have the goodness j in some leisure hour to sit down ami think over the Canal frauds, the Cred it Mobtlicr, the Jayne aid Sanborn business, the Pacific Mail subsidy, the doings of the Indian Ring, and the leprosy recently brought to light in the Customs service and Internal Revenue office, and then answer the question Can wo afford it any long er? Wo agree with Gen. Toombs “It fatigues tho indignation.’’ A Jewess Hurled Alive. A shocking case of premature in terment is reported to have taken place in the burial ground of the j Jewish community of Brady, in Gal- i liciu. The Jews, as is well known, : are prohibited keeping corpses in ! their houses more than one day, and | in accordance with this prohibition deceased Israelites are generally bur- I ied about twenty-four hours after | death. A Jewish lady, tho wife of a wealthy merchant residing in Brady, had long been a sufferer, and was interred the day following her demise. After the week of mourning prescri bed by tho Jewish law had passed over, the bereaved husband was ani mated by tile singular desire of open ing his wife’s grave, that lie might gaze upon her once more. The Jew ish Rabbi granted him permission, and the widower was horrified to find, when the coffin was opened, the shroud in which the corpse was attir ed completely covered with blood. There were all the signs of a prema ture Interment and a fearful strug gle for life. “Ish dere some ledder here for me ?” inquired a German at the gen eral delivery window of the post office yesterday, says the Detroit Free Press. “No, none here,” was tho reply. “Vhell, dot is queer,” ho continued, getting his head into the window ; “my neighbor gets some dimes dree leaders in one day, uud I get. none. I bays more daxes as he does, und I haf never got one ledder yet. How comes dose dings ?” There has been a good deal of needless talk about Sheridan’s ride, and wo now have a prodigious amount of babble about Sheridan’s bride.

Jordan’s Joyous Julep. A Specific for Neuralgia. TESTIMONIALS. Parxitsiirßo, Vo., Jan. 20th, 1875. John L. Jordan. Esq.—Dear Sir: So well pleased am I with your Joyous Julep, that I hereby tes tify to the superior merit of your unequaled preparation lor Neuralgia. I shall esteem my self happy should even one of that worst of all classes of sufferers be led through me to take the Julep. My wife has for ten (10) years been a mar tyr to the most malignant and persistent neural gic torture, without being able to find any relief except from your preparation. She was relieved by the second dose as per directions, and has not had a return of it for two mouths. To some I may seeui strangely sauguine about your medi cine, but I have a right to be so. It is not rea sonable to suppose this malignant malady would have died of sheer exhaustion of capacity fur sustaining itself, and that too in a minute, and the very minute your medicine was taken. If bo, it is a most remarkable, simple coincidence, and I prefer giving the credit in your favor of the best testimony man can ever have—experience. Vary truly yours, JAMES T. TOBH. Columbus, January 16, 1875. Mr.Jordan: —l take great pleasure In recom mending your Joyous Julep for neuralgia, has produced most wonderful relief in one oj the severest attacks of neuralgia my daughter ever has had. She has been treated for it by throe skillful physiciaus, with very little benefit, aud used all the usual remedies with little suc cess. I can with much confidence hope for a per manent cure. It is only two days since we began the use of it. and it is apparently of permanent benefit. Yours, with respect, MRS. L. I. NOItMAN. .IOIIX 1.. .IOIID VV, Apothecary. No. 198 Broad Street, Columbus, Ga. jaul7 tf APPLETON S’ American (yeloptedia. New Revised Edition. Entirely rewritten by tho ablest writers on every subject. Printed from new type, and illus trated with Several Thousand Engravings and Majw*. The work originally published under the title of Thk New Amkkk as Cyclopaedia was com pleted in 1863. since which time the wide circula tion which it lias attained in all parts of the United States, ami the signal developments which have taken place in every branch of science, lit erature and art. have induced the editors and publishers to submit it to an exact and thorough revision, aud to issue anew edition entitled Tun American Cyolop.kdia. Within the lost t**u years the progress of dis covery in every department of knowledge has made anew work of reference an imperative want. The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their truitlul application to the industrial aud useful arts aud the convenience aud refinement of social life, (ireat wars and consequent revolutions have oc curred, involving national changes of peculiar moment. The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume o! the old work appeared, has happily been ended, ami anew course of commercial aud Industrial activity has been commenced. Largo accessions to our geographical knowl edge have been made by the indefatigable ex plorers of Africa The great political revolutions of the last de cade, with the natural result oi the lapse of time, have brought iulo public view a multitude of new men, whose names are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particular*. Great battles have been fought ami important sieges maintained, of which the de tails are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications ol the day. but which ought now to take their place in perma nent and authentic history. In preparing the present edition fi*r the press, it lias accordingly Inten the. aim oi the editors to bring down the information to the latest possi ble dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every iresh production iu literature, and of the newest inventions iu the practical arts, as well as to give a succinct aud original record of the progress of political and historical events. The. work has been bogun alter long and care ful preliminary labor, aud with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful term ination. None of the original stereotype plates have been nsed, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact anew Cyclopcedia. with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a lar greater pecuniary expenditure, aud with such improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience aud enlarged knowledge. The illustrations which aro introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of pictorial effect, but to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable features of scenery, architecture ami art, as well as the various pro cesses of mechanics and manufactures. Although intended for instruction rather than embeiishineut. no pains have been spared to in sure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will find a welcome reception as an admirable feature of the C'yelopa’dia, and worthy of its high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume. It will be completed in sixteen large octavo volutm s, each containing about 800 pages.
