WEDNESDAY, FED Is U ARY 10, 187 G
GEORGIA.
i !io colony of Georgia was
Gio 1a s t settled before the
Revolutionary War. In 1732,
General Oglethorpe, a philanthropist,
having obtained from ti c king of Em*-
land a grant of land on the right bank
of the Savannah River, formed there a
Colony of poor debtors, impecunious
persons, and those who had been perse
cuted for conscience sake, from all lands.
He pitched his tent on the present site
of Javinnah, and named the colony
Georgia, after George It. Although
Oglethrope had a royal title to the land,
hojook care to indemnify th (p Indians
lor it, and they ever regarded him
with feelings of friendship. lie never
perm’tted slavery within the confines of
Georgia. This colony, howeve-, found
ed on principle? of equity and tolera
tion, bearing on its official seal the
kindly inscription, “A r on sibi seel alias”
(not for themselves hut for others) was
not destined to prosper at first, proba
bly in consequence of many of its in
mates being improvident persons, and
from the.r manners of’ living in cities of
the old world, not fitted for toil, or in
ured to the hardships of a settler’s life.
Labor rs were needed ; above all, farm
ers. Later, they were joined by a com
pany of Lutherans and one of Scotch
Highlanders. These, with some labor
ers from Austria, infused a spirit of
industry and endurance into the colony,
which contributed not a little to its sue
cess. \V ith some of these came John
and Charles Wesley, and Whitfield, all
afterwards so famous, so that in addi
tion to the influence of Godly men from
all countries, Georgia, under their min
istration, enjoyed means of grace supe
rior to those of most of the other colo
nies. During a war between Spain and
England, Georgia and the Carolines
were drawn into the conflict, and sent
an armed force against the Spanish fort
St. Augustine, und ir General Ogle
thorpe. This company was defeated
and in return the Spaniards incited the
Indians against the colonists, who suf
fered much from their enmity. Afteri
ward, in 1712, the Georgians gained a
complete victory over the Spanish three
thousand strong, on St. Simon’s Island.
Great encouragement was giv.n to the
culture of the silk worm, in Georgia,
and the manufacture of silk, which con
tinued up to the period of the Revolu
tionary war. Gefreral Oglethorpe took
with him, when he returned to
England the first silk produced in the
colony, and the Queen showed her gra
cious favor to-vard the New World
silk by having a dress made of it, a si
lent reproof to those ladies who will wear
none but French silk. General Ogle
th )rpe was one of the best men actively
engaged if) the colonization of America.
Those who au. cceded him in the gov
Ci .iment of the c dony becoming unpop
ular, they gave up their charter, und
like North and South Carolina, Georgia
becunc a royal province, in i752.

Temptation,” and “ A Double Wed
ding; or How She Was Woo.” is pub
lished this day by V. B. Peterson &
Brothers, Philadelphi i Mrs. War
field’s new novel, “ Monfort Hall,” has
freshness, and is entitled to respectful
comment. Her fiction calls fur study.
Her perception is deep and artistic, as
respects both the dramatic side of life
and the beautiful It is not nature that
f >rms the basm of her descriptions.—
She finds something deeper and more
mystic than nature in the sense in
which the term is usually used by crit
ics, in answer to the sou 1 to life—in the
s range, weird, and lonesome music of
the still small voices with which human
nature replies to the questions that
sorely vex her. She has the capacity
which enables her to trace phenomena
in a story without arguing about them,
and to exhibit the dramatic side of them
without stopping to exphfn the reason
f r it. In a word, her hand is as muc
as that of a master, and if there were
uu.i y uric muh novel as tlds* simple
s mi biographical story of Monfort
Hall, it would not be necesarry so often
to put the question, “ Is the art of fic
tion extinct V for it is a work of ex
j fiTordinary locrt, and the story is
| charmingly told by the heroine. It is
admirably and original in plot, varied
in incident, and intensely absorbing iu
interest j 'oesidea, throughout fhe vol
time, there is an exquisite Combination
of sensibility, pride and loveliness, which
wi 1 hold the w rk in high estimation.

On Tlae Wrong Track.
It must be apparent by this time to
the Repub lieu r leaders in Congress, as
it has long been to the general public,that
t tie country has passed quite out of the
period in which the cries of “ Southern
outrages,” “intimidation,” “White
Leagues,” “ Ku-kluxism,” could be ef
fective in influencing votes and carry'
ing electimis. W! a ever political cap
ital is to be made out of a revival of
the animosities of the war must come
from the imprudence of conduct and
recklessness of speeches of the party
just now beginning to taste power, and
to show its unfitne-a for it, in Congress
The Republicans have used up the ar
gument. They must wait for their op
ponents to blunder into some occasion
to revive it. This-Congresa has already
seen two deliberate attempts on the
part of the Republicans to fire the
Northern heart. Bull have failed la
mentably. Mr Blair e’s effort was
nearer being successful than Senator
Morton’s, but neither of them accom
plished the purpose of its author Mr.
Blaine did succeed in and awing < ut from
.Mr. liiVi, of Georgia, a speech very
damaging to the latter’s party, but the
recital of the horrors of Andersonviile
and the other rebel prisons undo little
impression on the minds of a people to
whom the story was fauiili >r, and who
preferred to forget rather than treasure
up is painful memories. The impress
ion that remains upon the public mind
to day, oniy so short time after the
••great debate,” is that B aine showed
himself a eonsumate tactician, and that
the Democratic majority in the House
was made up of very feeble folks. The
movement was intended t) harrow up
the North. It has not harrowed a cent's
worth. And as for Mr. .Morton’s great
speech on the Mississippi election, the
object of which was to revive the old
distrust of and hatred for the Southern
people, it has fallen still-born. It
hardly hold the attc tion of the Senate
during its delivery, and it lias not stir
red a ripple of feeding .outside. It has
not even provoked discussion or com
ment from the press. We do not re
call any such signal failure in the his
tory of Congressional debates. Not'
one in a hundred of the politicians
themselves who are personally interest
ed in all the schemes tor making politi
cal capital have read or will read it, and
we and ire say that not rate in twenty of
them will remember a month he* ce that
such a speech ever was made. —AT. Y

j REYEBDY JOSIXMO* DEAD.
His Corpse Found in Gov. Car*
roll's Garde—iadicatir-us o;'a
Vinltuu Death.
Rev eidy Johnson, the statesman a u
jurist, dined at the urn sion ot the Gov
ernor o. Maryland, in Annapolis, the
10. h, 'and shortly aft r 8 o’cl ck a
sciv; nt found him dead in the garden
surroun log it. Mr. Johnson was born
in Annapolis on the 2 Ist of .May, 1790.
llis father was Chief Justice of the
Annapolis district and at the age of
seventeen, after having received a pri
mary education in St. Joitn’s College
in hi.s native town, young Johnson be
gan the st dy of law in his father’s of
fice. In ISIS lie was admitted to the
bar and two years later he took up his
residence in IF uirocre Here his prog
ress iu his profession was rapid. Be
tween 1830 and 1837 he reported, in
conjunction with Fr. F h on as Harris,
the decisions of the Maryland (Yurt of
Appeals .seven v flumes f whichiare :-tiii u
et*.idard work for the lawyers of the na
tive State.
From 1821 until 1829 Mr. Johnson
served as a State Sen tor of Mary
land. After this he devoted himself
for seveial years to the duties of his
profession, gaining a reputation not on
ly in his native State, but throughuto
the country, us a jurist of rare abillity
and a pleader of no mean powers. In
1845 he was elected to the Senate of
the United States, but lie resigned in
1849 to accept the position of Attorney-.
General of the United Stat s, which was
tendered him by Gen. Taylor. When
Mr. FiPinoro succeeded President Taylo
Mr Johnson returned to Baltimore,
and again resumed the practice of the
law. His cas s were mainly in the
United Suites Supreme Court, and it was
at this period that he began to acquire
his reputation as an international law
yer.
At the outbreak of the rebellion of
1861 Mr, Johnson was a member of the
Washing toil Convention that vainly cs
sayed to avert that calamity. In the
next year ho was for a second time elect'*
ed to the United States Senate, and
from 1863 to 1868 he took part in the
deliberations of that body. He was
one of the counsel for President John
son in the memorable impeachment tri
al of 1868, and after the conclusion of
that trial was appointed Minister to the
Coiyt of St. James. Here he negoti
ated a treaty that was afterward reject
ed by the Senate, and on th i accession
of Gen. Grant in 1869 he was recalled.
After his retirement from public life
Mr. Johnson continued to exhibit a
deep interest a public affairs.
Annapolis, Feb. 10. —Mr. Johnson
came here last night to argue the case
of Baker ngfc. Faick argued iu the
vourt of Appial to day. ' By invitation
of Gov Carroll fie became his guest at
the Executive mansion To-day the
Governor invited Chief Justice Bartol,
of this State, and several other gentle
men, to meet Mr. Johnson at dinner at
the Mansion. They dined about sp. :w.
At dinne Mr. Johnson appeared in ex
cellent spirits and his usual hea th, and
entertained the eompamy by his e mver
sa in an i relating anecdotes. At dinner
he 'O k oie glass of Madeira, and refus
ed to take any mor . After dinner he
suddenly asked the Governor to take him
n the parlor. He took the Governor’s
arm, and walking iu there sat down on
a sofa. The Governor proposed to have
coffee brought.
Mr. Johnson replied, “No, if you
want to smoke, rejoin your guests and
.smoke
The Governor answered, “Very well,
[ will jMu y;oi in a few minutes,” and
returnel to the tabie, but feeling uneasy
at leaving Mr. Johnson alone, proposed
to the company to go into the parlor
and join him.
Mr. Charles G. Ke-r, Mr Johnson’s
son in-law, who had come into the di
ning room after Mr. Johnson had left
the table, said :• “No, be always takes
a nap after dinner, and I suppose he has
gone to sleep.” The company then
went, on smoknig and talking, and while
so doing a er/ant of the Governor ap
peared at the door at and. beckoning him
out, told him Mr. Johnson was laying
u the yard on the stones.
Gov. Carrol] went immediately to'llie
place, and found Mr. Johnsou lying on
the cobblestone carriageway that passed
under the porch of the mansion, close
on t.o the wall, and near a door leading
into he basement. lie had evidently
gone down the front steps and around
to the side of the house, and had fallen
where he was found. This was about
6 p xt . and the impression is that he
had been there at least half an hour.
Mr. Johnson's body was at once re
moved into a basement room, and phy
sicia.is were summoned. Dr. Win, G.
'fuck was first to arrive, -an i after ex
amining the body, he pronounced life
extinct. Drs. Ridiuut and Claude ar
rived afterward.
There are large wounds on the right
side of the forehead, two fractures of
the skull from the upper part of the
forehead to the eyebrows, dislocation of
finyrer of the left hand, and cuts on the
hands and legs and bruises.

THE NEW FAMILY

is fist winning favor in the household, as
shown by the rapidly increasing sales.
TliisJNew Family Machine is capa
ble range and variety of work such as
was once thought impossible to perform by
machinery. We claim and can show that
it is the cheapo.t, most beautiful, delicately
arranged, nicely a ljlisted, easily operated,
and smoothly running of all the family
sewing machines. it is remarkable, not
only Jo the range and variety of its sew
i ing, but also for the variety and different
kinds of texture widen it will sew with
equrl facility and perfection, using silk
t wist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse,
making the inter elastic lock stitch, alike
on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus,
heaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with
great strength and uniformity of stitch,
and, in a moment, this willing and never
wearying instrument may be adjusted for
fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or
the tucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al
most any other work which delicate fingers
have been known to perform.
Ours having long been t lie popular and
practical machines for manufacturing pur
poses, sumo dealers, using ‘'the tricks of
trade,” take advantage of this in trying to
persuade purchasers that our Family Ma
chine is not equal, for family sewing to our
Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing
purposes. But purchasers—and they are
apt to examine carefully before choosing—
have not been merely persuaded, but con
vinced that our new family machine embod
ies new and essentia ip rinc Spies—simplicity
of construction ; ease of operation ; uni
formity of precise action at any speed ; ca
pacity for range and variety of work, fme
or coarse - leaving all rivals behind it.

The following is t\ correct report of the

A carolul examination of the figures will
