That careful money-maker, Stephen
Girard. who wag never known to spend
a dollar for loss than a dollar's worth,
thoroughly understood the advantages
«d'advertising. lie often said that he
never spent money more profitably than
when he invested in printer’s ink during
hard times. He considered it a golden
opportunity never to be neglected.

An election in the First State Sena
torial District, of Pennsylvania, resulted
in a majority of 1,343 for Drazant,
Democrat. In October the Republicans
had 1,000 majority. It is understood
this gives Pennsylvania to the Demo
crats.
Rhode Island is a Simon-pure
Radical State, and nevertheless Rhode
Island disfranchises fully one-third of
her citizens of voting age by excluding
till naturalized citizens who do not own
unincumbered real estate. How is this
for a free ballot ?
Tho Lynchburg, (Ya.) News an
nounces that arrangements have been
made by the “ University Publishing
Company” with the family of General
Lee, and the Faculty of Washington
College, looking to the speedy publica
tion of a '-memorial volume,” embracing
a biography of the great Can federate
leader, aud an impartial narrative of the
principal events and incidents of the late
civil war.
The Pittsburgh. Pa.. Paper,
speaking of the recent overwhelming de
feat of the Radicals in the First Senato
rial District of Pennsylvania, in which
there was last year a Republican Major
ity of over one thousand, and in which
there is a strong negro vote, says : "No
doubt - thc colored troops fought nobly,*
but there is no disguising the fact that
white people have a decided disrelish for
negro voting. The Radicals are getting
a strong dose of the Fifteenth Amend
ment. uud. some of the .leading Radicals,
even of radical Pittsburgh, are sickening
on it.”
Says the New York Tribune: "Bre
vet-Brigadier-Coiisiu-General Badeau
has written an article in Frazier’s Maga
zinc, showing that the German conquest
is precisely similar to the Northern
conquest of the insurrectionary States
of the South. He says King William
is just like Lincoln : Moltke is the coun
terfeit presentment of Grant, and we
deeply regret that at this point u spasm
of modesty u the ingenious warrior
and diplomatist, and prevents him from
saying what must occur to any observ
ing mind, that Bismark and Badeau are
as like as two Bs.”
The New Kino of Spain.—Judg
ing from physiognomy, the Spaniards
have “swapped the devil for a witch ”
in making the Duke Aosta their King,
vice Isabella, kicked out. His picture,
in the last Graphic, represents as coarse
and common-looking a man as could be
picked out, even of a Southern Radical
Legislature. If Lavater was net an old
humbug, the Dons will soon send their
new ruler packing after old Isabella.
Public Schools.
Fays the Atlanta Sun ;
We very much fear that the people
do not properly estimate the importance ]
of the election that is to come off next
Saturday. We refer to the election of
officers under the new Public School
Law of Georgia, which is now about to
be made of force.
This public school system is an ex
periment in this State. It is an experi
ment that will cost in the neighborhood
of one million of dollars annually. Be
ing, therefore, so expensive an experi
ment it becomes a matter of some im
portance to make it a success.
We are an advocate of a liberal sys
tem of education. We think there
should be means provided in every
county of the State to enable the poor
est. as well as the wealthiest people, to
enjoy tlie advantages of a practical and
useful education. It is not necessary
that we attempt to rear a community of
scholars; but vre can and ought to have
a public provision for a reasonable am
ount of learning, to be distributed even
handed among the masses.
Whether the School Law, now for
the first time about to be made of force,
is precisely what was needed in this
State, it is now too late to discuss.—
The law has been enacted in duo form
and is about to have a trial which will
solve the question of its utility. If it
is not handled by those who ought to
take an interest in it, it will be by those
who do take an interest, and the men
who receive the highest number of votes
will be elected to perform the functions
of the law.
What we meant to urge upon our
people is the selection of good men for
the County Board and for Trustees.—
The offices return no emolument, yet
they need good and intelligent men to
manage them so as to contribute the
contemplated benefits upon society.—
We hope the people will seriously con
sider the matter, as it is certainly one
that ought not to be permitted to go by
default.
Radical Centralism.
In the persistent war Democracy is
making, and means for all time to make,
against Centralism and its kindred
abominations, spurious imperialism and
military influence included, it now and
then has unexpected allies. The New
York Tunes, in an article on “France
and its prospects,” contains some strik
ing apothegms, though it is quite possi
ble the Radical writer did not feel the
de nobis /alula application of what he
soys. To us it is very manifest. For
instance :
“ A whole nation,” says the Times ,
“cannot give up its most valued inter
ests to a military adventurer of no ge
nius, and only dignified by a great name,
without losing self-reliance and its man
ly virtues. The army becomes a Prm
torian Guard, and its generals, know
that they create the empire, show no
subordination and enforce no discipline.
All the positions of honor and duty are
merely the means by which favorites fill
their pockets and escape arduous labor.
No work is honestly done. Every civil
office is filled with the tools of the des
potic leader. Everything military is
shoddy. The martial empire is one
vast sham. The army is lazy, luxuri
ous, and insubordinate.”
And the writer winds up with the
marvelovs discovery that all this is owing
to the fact that everything in France is
centralized, and that “there is no local
administration left I ’ Now let him, says
the Patriot , turn his eyes in the direc
tion of Washington, and see how things
are done here. If the “Government”
is not daily drifting towards the worst
form of Centralism by the force of mili
tary rule and corrupt combination, then
our senses are mere delusion, and there
is no reality in the most tangible facts.
Georgia Senators.
The question, will the Georgia Sena
tors be admitted ? is now open for dis
cussion. and to the question of probable
admission may be added, which of them
will go in. Fp'g] this subject the Wash
ington Patriot Bays : “The Judiciary
Committee arc to hold a meeting, on the
Saturday preceding the re-assembling of
Congress, for the purpose of hearing ar
gued the competing claims of Messrs.
Hill and Miller, and Farrow and Wlate
ly, claiming to be the United States Sen
ators of Georgia. No vote has been had
in the committee on this question, and
the only indication of its sentiment is to
be found in the report of the committee
at a former session, that Georgia was not
entitled to representation.”
Upon the fate of Messrs. Hill and
Whitely depends that of Mr. Blodgett;
therefore a very strenuous effort will be
made by the Republicans against Mr.
Hill and Dr. Miller. The question will
probably come up very early after the
Senate meets on Wednesday, and will
probably be decided at an early day.
Thf. New German Empire. —The
revived German empire enters history
with an area of 204,770 square miles;
and the population, which was 38.521,-
700 in 1807 may now be safely reckoned
at 40,000,000. Its area is thus more
than four-fifths of the State of Texas,
and its population a little greater than
that of the whole United States.

Kon„ Ben Hill.
The Grounds for th% Statement that
he has made Overtures to the Radicals.
War renton, Ga., Dec. 23, 1870.
Editor Constitution :
Pear Sir: —In your issue of the
17th inst., you reprint an editorial from
the Warrenton Clipper , entitled “ Beil
Hill and his 1 ast.” and in your com
ments thereon you say that it is incum
bent on the Clipper to prove the insinu
ation contained therein against Mr llill,
or remove the iuueudo.
In that trtide the Clipper uses this
language: Ben and the banished Israel
ites are paralel cases —judging from a
recent private letter written by Ben to
certain prominent Radicals. So sayeth
rumor.”
If the Constitution claims to be the
mouth piece of Mr. Ilill, a note to that
effect will bring forth the proof. If Mr.
Hill will public/)/ deny that he has writ
ten a letter a known Republican of this
county, in which he leans completely
over to Republicanism, we will produce
the proof. If Mr. llill will publicly
deny that he wrote a letter to the Re
publican Executive Committee of this
Congressional District, in which he en
dorses General Grant for President in
1872, and in which he uses language
looking to the position of United States
Senator for himself, we will prove that
a member of that committee reports that
he has the letter in his possession, and
that he boasts of the fact.
Individually. I regret that Mr. Hill
has been guilty of these things, as he
claims to be a Democrat, but as a mem
ber of the Democratic party, I deem it
my duty to make them public. I can
not tie myself to men and ignore prin
ciple. Sorry to see that several of the
Democratic press cannot draw the line
between Ben Hill and principle.
Your notice would have had my ear
lier attention, but as I do the majority
of the labor upon my paper? my time
has been occupied in working for the
success of the Democratic party of War
ren during the past six days, to the neg
lect of my private affairs, and will not
issue my paper till Saturday.
Respectfully yours,
Ciias. E. McGregor,
Editor Warrenton Clipper.
Since the first appearance of the above
letter, Mr. Hill has publicly denied eve
ry allegation it contains ; and we must
now await the production of the proof.
In the meantime, we weep for thee, oh,
Benjamin !
Wiiat it Means. —The St. Louis
Democx-at (Rad.) and one of the very
ablest organs of that party, had an arti
cle recently on the San Domingo ques
tion, in which appears this significant
paragraph :
“What we have long known was the
real motive in the San Domingo plot is
no longer concealed. It means rear. Af
ter San Domingo, comes Cuba, the rest
I of the West Indies, and the conflict with
foreign powers which this stride of ag
gression would inevitably produce. And
conflict with foreign powers, it is calcu
lated, will make the re-election of Grant
a certainty. Long ago this scheme was
privately and confidentially talked of bv
persons who seek the re-nomination of
the President, and talked of as if it were
his own. His message enables every
body to judge for himself.”
Letter from Senator Vance.—
Ex-Governor Vance, of North Carolina,
now a United States Senator elect from
that State, has written a letter which
lias been published in Washington, in
reply to certain accusations against him.
lie declares that he acquiesces in and
will maintain all the legitimate results
of the war, and that he earnestlv de
sires unity and the perpetuity of the
whole country, its prosperity and honor.
Lease of the State Boad.
In compliance with public notice
given by the Governor in October, bids
were received for the lease of the W es
tern an! Atlantic Railroad until the
25th December. On opening the bids
the road was let to a company of the
following gentlemen, to wit: John P.
King, Joseph E. Brown, Alexander H.
Stephens. John T. Grant. Benjamin H
Hill. K. W. Cole, Richard Peters, Wil
liam G. Johnson, William S. Holt, A.
J. White, C. A. Nutting, Benjamin
May, E. Waitzfieldcr, W. C- Morrill,
Simon Cameron, 11. I Kiiiiball. George
Cook, Thomas A. Scott, W illiam T.
Matthews, William B. Dinsmore. H. B.
Plant, Thomas Allen, and their associ
ates. making in all twenty-three
Other bids were made, but parties fail
ed to comply with the law requiring the
rendering of sufficient security. The
successful company is one of the strong
est ever formed in the South. The
shareholders represent, in their own
right, over fifteen millions of dollars.—
They give by securities the following
railroad companies: The Georgia, the
Central, the Southwestern, the Macoifl
and Western. Atlantic and West Point,
the Macon and Brunswick, and Albany,
in Georgia: the Nashville and Chatta
nooga, of Tennessee, and the St. Louis
and Iron Mountain, of Missouri. The
companies signing as securities are
worth twenty millions. The high char
acter of the lessees and their undoubted
solvency, and the large capital of the
company, are ample guarantees that the
road will be well managed and the terms
of the lease faithfully complied with.—
The rental l agreed to be paid to the
State is $25,000 per month for twenty
years, and the road is to be returned in
as good a condition in every respect as
it now is at the end of the lease.
Ex-Gov. Joseph E. Brown resigned
his office as the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Court before putting in the
bid, and has been unanimously elected
President of the new company to whom
the road is leased.
Practical Truths.— The Louisville
Journal is a paper not only of experi
ence and observation, but especially of
good sense, what it says may therefore
be relied on as correct. We commend
to the careful perusal of our readers its
remarks in a recent issue on the subject
of advertising, and endorse every word
that follows as practical and truthful:
“We have been carrying on the Lou
isville Journal between 30 and 37 years.
During all that time we have known no
men of business in the city to fail who
advertise liberally. And we have know n
no one to succeed in any considerable,
if even in a respectable degree, who
didn’t advertise liberally.
“Do you tell us, oh, candidate for the
custom of community, that you can’t af
ford to advertise because your business
is dull? Listen ! and we will tell you.
It is dull because you don’t advertise,
and you don’t advertise because it is
dnll. So the vacant circle is complete.
We tell you, if you are doing ill, to ad
vertise that you may do well, and. if
; you arc doing well, advertise that you
jnnay do better. Set high your mark of
| business success, and advertise on it.—
You can do so if you will, even in hard
! times.
“A little nerve is needed in advertis
ing as well as in using any other effect
ive means of success. Your men who
have no more nerve than a w r et rag, ad
vertise little or not all. You may sup
pose that we are giving advice jthat we
think would benefit ourselves. Yes. we
do think it would benefit us, but benefit
you immensely more. Think a little,
and you will agree with us, be wise
enough to act accordingly.
At Sand Hill, Ky., Dec., 4, a sad
accident occurred. Asew 7 weeks since
Dr. A. P. Pownall united with the
Christian Church, and Sunday was ap
pointed as the day of his baptism. He
! requested his pastor, the llev J. B.
! Hough, to perform the rite. At the
j appointed hour a large number of per
! sons assembled on the banks of Crooked
Creek, the place chosen for the immer
sion. After singing and prayer, Mr.
Hough entered the water, leading the
Dr., and the descent being very gradual
they were obliged to proceed some dis
-1 tance from the shore in order to reach
| a sufficient depth, but suddenly both
! were seen to go down, having stepped
over a bank concealed by the water;
! both soon rose to the surface, an and Mr.
! Ilough regained the bank,.but the Dr.
j being unable to swim was swept by the
current under a floodgate only a short
distance below; ever} 7 exertion was
made to save him, but in vain. The
body was soon after found and brought
ashore amid the most heart-rending
screams from his young wife aud friends.
Protect thevCab rages 7 and Tuß
ntfs. —The New York papers says the
eating-house keepers in that city are im
porting vegetables from England and
find they can pay freight and duties and
save money by the operation. This re
sult is charged to the middle men in
New 7 York who monopolize the home
green vegetables and then exact enor
mous profits from consumers. The huck
sters. whether of fish, flesh, fowl, fruit
or vegetables soon amass a fortune out
of the farmers and the consumers, and
the market iegulations of the cities gen
crelly aid them in the enterprise. It is
! certainly a queer business that common
vegetables should be imported three
thousand miles from England where
land holds a ten fold value over the most
valuable American soil. Won’t Con
gress raise the tariff on turnips to meet
this extraordinary condition?
Two long established English pub
lishing houses have made competing
bids for the right of exclusive publica
tion of the revised edition of the Holy
Scriptures now in progress in England.
One house offers $50,000, aud the other
three times that sum.
