CALHOUN, GA., WEDNESDAY, JUNE 7, 1876.
THE PRESIDENCY.
Views of Hon. R. 11. Ilill, of
Georgia.
Mr. Hill said : “I do not know if it
is proper for me to express any views
upon the subject of tue ensuing Presi
dential election. The people of the
South recognize the sensitiveness cf the
public mind of the North in regard to
tho active interference of the South in
politics. While this is but natural, it
is doing the South an injustice, as she
is on an equality with the other section
of tho country, and has the same duty
to perform. The South lias abandoned
slavery, secession.and all her other ideas,
and desires a cordial re-union, peace be
tween the races, and desires also the ad
vancement of the colored man. The
people ask of the party in rower equal
constitutional rights and no more They
de not want to be put in any other po
sition. Wo desire to support the Na
tional sentiment. We prefer that the
Northern Democracy should sebet the
candidate. All that we hope is that he
will boa good, sound, constitutional
and National man, who will do justice
ail, men, to every race, and who will
ask no favors nor indulge in any extrav
agances. Above all things we desire
reconciliation, and revision. If the
Northern Democracy should be so did
vided as to bo unable to agree, then the
South must decide it. IJcr delegates
will endeavor to do it in such a manner
as best to contribute to success, as we
regard the question at issue in the ap
proaching election#he preservation of
our constitutional system Tilden, Hen
dricks, Bayard and Thurman are all
acceptaob to us, but wo prefer the
strongest man. We hope the Democ
racy may be able to select man of
whose National sentiments there c:vn bo
no doubt. Wo expect great sensitive
ness on this question on the part of the
North, and we intend to show the
Northern people that we will be loyal.
I am represented as an extreme man.—
Such hie never been my reparation at
home. I cannot admit that the.entire
Southern people are ciminals, but tan
as much devoted to our constitutional
form of Government as any other man.
T did not wish to speak, but I was com
pelled to defend the South. I was
brought into the debate by a wicked as
sault upon our people, who for ten years
had bco* unjustly accused and misrep
resented. 1 would have been glad had
no dead issue came up, but I would not
admit that at least one..third -f the peo
ple of this couti'ry were criminals Our
'difficulties were settled by war, as rca
so ning could'net settle them, and it is
manly and religious for us to accept the.
fact. The Republican party is a sec
tional one ) its history is sectional;
u is itself one of the features of tite war
which it is necessary to get rid of.—
Whether its work has been patriotip or
not is for the world to judge. The cur
rency question 1 look upon us a subor
dinate one. Restore honest government,
tho currency will adjust i‘se!f and soon
be all right. It is to be hoped that the
matter will be set tied at St. Louis with
out the interposition of the South. If
so, the entire Southern vote wil! be east
for the nominee. The South recognizes
there is anew era. Formerly she had
slavery and abstractions. Ihe next
century she will wetk cut her destiny
with free labor and good, hard sense.—
I regret my speech should have boon
misrepresented, as I am for the Union
under the (Jons'itution and the laws, as
are uiy people, and I hope that the time
fast arriving when the only difference
between the geo- a hical sections of the
country will boas to which shall be lore
most in devotion to our common coun ry.
The time must come when the people
of tho North will better understand the
people of the South, and then the prop
er fraternal feeling will bo restored nev
er to be again interrupted/’

sincere in every utterance he made

Almost too Dutch to Believe.

into conversation with him.
“ Nice dorge you've got there,” said
he.
“Yaw, he pees a -erv fine tog.”

“ 1/y tarn, I dakes dot pot.” said ihe
Dutchman, eager to make an honest dol

“Well, call Lire up here and lot me
have a look at him.” said Yank.
“Here, Fritzy ! Fritzy ! Come here
andt make me von tollar,” said the
Dutchman.
The Yankee patted him on the head,
ooked in the eye, and finally forced
open his mouth and looked down his
throat.
“ilis name is Fritzy,” said he, with
deliberation.
“Donder and blixen Z” he exclaimed,
with open eye and trouth.

over the wager. “Dy Jinks, L know

A BEAUTIFUL and bashful young-wo*
man of about nineteen summers called at
the office of a life insurance agent last
week, and asked* “How long will a
man of sixty-seven and that eats peas
with his [ nife, live ?” “According to
our table, madam,” replied the agent,
“ he should on the average, survive 11
years, 8 months, and 10 days.” “That.”
said Iris visitor, “would he till the Ist of
August, 1887 /” “Precisely, madam.”
“Arid how much could I insure his life,
for/” “Oh for any amount say for
$50,000,” ho answered; taking up a
blink form of application. “Well,”
said the young woman, “1 think, fhuD,
PH marry him.” “Insuio him you
mean ?” replied the agent. “No mar
ry him, you insure him. You see,” she
added, with a burst of confidence, “ I
love Herbert ; and Mr. Dawkins is old
enough to be mv grandfather. Rut
Herbert is poor, and I just worship the
corner lots that Mr. Dawkins builds on.
Now you say Mr. Dawkins fill die by

A Brave Woman,
Long years ago, when a famous ac
tress was playing in some obscure
French p-ovince, a well, which”a peas
ant was ; t work in, caved in in such a
manner as to have bmied him, yet alive.
All Frai ce was at once interest in the
late ot thL unfortunate workman, and
the most extraordinary efforts were
made to save him. At last if was an
nounced as positive that he would he
liberated from his horrible confinement
Qn a certain day. When he was drawn
out of the well, covered with bruises,
there was a great crowd assembled to
see him. The physician, finding him
completely flayed by his contact with
the sand and earth which had been
pressing upon him, bandaged him. At
last the linen and flannel gave out, and
the doctor called lor more. None were
to be had, and the doctor was in de
spair, when the actress came forward,
made a modest Courtesy, explained that
she was anxious of doing some good,
loosened a stiing, dropped hr r petticoat
at ' ;ie doctor s feet, aid said ; “ Tear
that up and use it !” 'ihe fine Luffs
present were much annoyed that an. ae.
tress, should have dared, to on such a
thing in their presence, but there is nn
doubt that she u u exactly fbe riglu
tiung. it made her famous.
Ax Editor who Wouldn't “Stop
the Dai Eli.”— A man called in the
other day and requested us to stop the
Gazette. Wo thought the matter over
and concluded not to doit. Wo haye
got presses and other machines in here
that cost about 82.000, types almost
without number, and other materials
necessary for running a first-class local
paper and job printing establishment
and we can’t and won’t stop ibis paper
and things connected therewith, to
gratify the whim of man, woman or
child, in the circle of our association.
We did however, consent to remove the
man’s name from our list-book which
was quite another thing* We hope we
shall not agaiu be requested to •• stop
the Gazette,” for unless our mind un
dergoes a great cliauge we shall not do it.

Suggestions to (lie Editor.
Persons outside of a printing office
have no idea how many pleasant sug.
gesliens an editor gets which makes
newspaper work a grea' deal easiet than
people generally imagine “I just drop
ped in,” says No 1, ‘'to give you a little
hint that you might work up. You
know l*om Pedro, the Kmperor of Bra
zil, is in this country now, anil as Bra
zd is in the Torrid Zone, couldn’t you
get something off about him being a
Tor (rid) Pedro ? See 1 Chance for a
good thing there,” and he smilingly
leaves.
No. 2 slides into the vacant chair and
remarks : “ißooks like S? ring agaii*
don tit / talking of Spring reminds
me of a juke that occurred o me in the
post-office io~day. Why is Dorn Pedro
iike the voice of a sick mule ? (Jive it
up i Because he san Lmpy roar and
Brays'i 1 Its assvtouishing how these
things will strike a person, ain’t it?”
iNo 3 takes his place, and with a
modest cough commences : “Your pa
per always has racy comments on pass
ing events. That’s the style of paper 1
like ; hut there s something about i)uin
i edro that I think has escaped jour
notice, ire u gone \\ est now., and when
he was passing through Ohio h, must
have been a Dorn-in 0. O stands for
Ohio, don’t you see ? Pthought also
about some allusion to velecipedro,” he
added as no rose to leave, * hut 1 hadn't
time to fix it up.”

'•’oi ‘ e n an No. 4, “the following con
undrum flashed through u*y mind :
V. by is Bum Pedro iike England ?

The editor gave n hopeless look at the
do"), and replied, “ Because he’s a Tor
Pedro.”
“ Oh, no.”
“ Because he Brays-ill.”
‘Ov by that's no reason. I said why
was he like England.”
“Because he’s Domino.”
“I guess you don't understand much
;.bout riddles. The answer is, because
he’s u King-Dom.”
“Oh that ; s it, Bit ? Well ]’m glad
nes a king.Jom. We liad it that he
was an Emperor ; but we’ll make the
correction You -ee Pm agricultural
editor, and these new items aro. hardly
in my line.”
•Just before No. 5 came up the edi
tor put a placard on the door inscribed
in large letters Dom Pedro, with the
middle letter of h;s name changed. The
punster looked at that and went down
stairs again .—Luke Sharp.

Only a Ccnntry Weekly.
It is only a country weekly ! Yes,
that is all. Rut those who allude to it
with an unintentional sneer eer reflect
npon the duties and mission perfbruicu
by the poor, obscure country weekly,
which is as much, nay, more, to ira few
hundred renders in the country, as is?
the great metropolitian daily to its thou
sand of readers in the eily '{ Oh, no ;
they never think of placing any estima
tion upnli the worth of a country paper ;
it has none within the narrow limits of
their supciSeal and contracted brains.
They will not admit of the utility of*
any form of a newspaper savo otic which
is crammed full of telegraphic dispatch
es, giving the minutcstrditails of some
revolting and nauseating social scandal ;
the hour at which the chamberlain of
the imperial palace at Ispahan put his
most serene and mighty highness tho
shah to bed; that the savage Dallas &P
Abyssinia had abjured the tenn ts of
the Coptic faith, and had bowed down
in adoration of Mecca’s prophet; that
the poor, unoffending Papuans of (ho
Celebes were being slaughtered by the-
Dutch invaders from the neighboring
isles of Macassar, and bo on, in an infill- •
itc variety of detail, all of which is read
with an avidity that betokens the im
portance of these things to a city gen* -
tliinan. Rut (he financial, commercial,
agricultural, religious, and social condi

out the.environs of his mighty empire

quire within ; he knows nothing of it ;
put him to the test and you will find ho
knows more about tho condition of tho"
Berbers cf Northern Africa than ho.
does about the people in the neighbor
ing county. We turn from the contem
plation of this human superficiality to <
the practical and comyion-scnse man,
who wishes fo be informed a to tho
pursuits, condition, and prospeets-of this*-'*
people of his own immediate State and
county. He finds in the rural paper tho •
information lie seeks. The country or*
gan is to him the camera lucid a which?
faithfully poitraits all that occurs ; it
is in a great measure the reflex of tho
character of the country wherein it i.i
published. But what is the interest
which iTvcn ho derives from it, compar
ed to that which is felt* and entertained
b-y the country people themselves ? It.
is everything to them. In it is found ■
news which they alone, probably, can
appreciate and understand; information .
regarding their friends and neighbors,.,
the conditions of crops and market; *
quotations, which to the farmer and...
tradesman in the country is of primary *
i p rtanco ; matters of local considera**
tiou wherein they are it terested, and a> -
hundred and one different things which
affect and interest them, both privately
and publicly. The country organ per
forms another fanrtkm which can only ,
bo effectually done by it. Aa a medi
um for advertising it offers facilities
which are unsurpassed. By it the farm
er, the laborer, and the mechanic be- ;
come acquainted with tho goods and-t
wares of tho tradesman! they learn
where they can purchase what they dc- ,
sire, and at tho lowest prices. Tl.o !
country newspaper is to a county what
