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/’ Mr. Hill spokesman earhestand forcb bio manner, and was evidently most sincere in every utterance he made Baltimore Gazette. Almost too Dutch to Believe. A Yankee while footing towards out West got very haid up, and was cud gelling his brains to see how he should make a raise of a little money. Final, lie met DtAchinan who was followed by a great ugly, cowardly dog, he entered into conversation with him. “ Nice dorge you've got there,” said he. “Yaw, he pees a -erv fine tog.” “I’ll bet you a dollar that l ean tell what his name is ” “What ish dot ? Andt you no fur seo dot tog peffre Z” “No, of course not, but I’ll bet a dol lar what his name-is.” “ 1/y tarn, I dakes dot pot.” said ihe Dutchman, eager to make an honest dol lar. “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. 4 *A in I not tig*;', Z “Yaw, py tarn,” said he, handing over the wager. “Dy Jinks, L know not dot my tog carry his droali, I chest choke his tam neck for him,” and away he marched trying to get a kick at the poor dog whose name he had given away himself. Trnth Conquers All Things.” ‘•Relics” at the Centennial. Among the Centennial curiosities to be exhibited at Philadelphia, says the Detroit Post, will be the following rare collection of historic relics : From Maine—the original pine tree the picture of which was put on the Revolutionary shilling. Massachusetts—the identical spot where Warren fell. Connecticut—The hole from which General Israel Putman drugged out tho wo) f. New York—A section of tho fog which enabled Washington’s army to escope from Long Island. New Jersey—A specimen of the New Jersey blues. A piece of the Dele ware which Washington crossed.

Virginia—The identical lamp of cx perienco referred to by Patrick Henry ; also one of the bowls of “beet” immor talized by him. South Carolina—The seven rail fence which Marion’s horse jumped Kentucky—The identical charge of powder with which Daniel Roone shot an Indian chief. This powder having been shot once, Judies and children needn't be afraid of its going off. Also tho identical c on who came down to Captain Scott. Ohio —The original tippy canoe. Michigan—l ho identical stump over which General Cass broke his sword. Illinois—One of the victims of the Chicago massacre. Tonnes, ee —One of General Jackson’s favorite oaths, preserved in a glass case.

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 the Ist of August, 1887, and; as it won’t ho decent to marry again till I've been a year in meurning, PH arrange to marry Herhert on tho 2d of August 1888.” Chicago 'Tribune. —•*? 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. — Dexter .( Me) Gazette —— Mode and more old women who danced with Washington are turning up cicry d.y.
