President Trammell of the Senate.
That able journal, the Atlanta Con
stitution pays the following fitting trib
ute to Col. L. N. Trammell, late Presi
dent of the Georgia Senate, and we
heartily endorse the Constitution’s re
marks. Col. Trammell, during his
term of office has performed his duty
faithfully and it should be a source of
pride to the people of this section that
he is a North Georgian :
“It is due to an officer who has for
two consecutive terms occupied the ex
alted and responsible position of Presi
dent of the Georgia Senate, the place
next in dignity and rank to the execu
tive, to notice his retirement from the
office. More particularly is this due
when that officer has filled the position
as faultlessly as President Trammell.—
We have yet to read or hear from any
source whatever of a solitary word of
dissatisfaction with this official. Amid
all the trying ordeals of four long years
of duty as the presiding officer of the
highest deliberative body of the State,
if there has been a single murmur of
disapproval of his conduct it has never
come to our knowledge.
To a knowledge of parliamentary law
that has been unerring, he has added a
promptness, a rapidity, a politeness, an
impartiality, a tact, a discrimination, a
dignity and decision, that have never
failed to impress the body over which
he so worthily presided, and that have
conspicuously moulded for him a repu
tation to be envied and treasured.
We are pleased to have the privilege
of paying this truthful tribute to an
admirable public servant. The people
of Georgia will hold him in kind re
membrance.”
[communicated.]
Mr. Editor : By reason of our ab
sence from home on a little trip through
the northeastern portion of our Btate,
we have been delayed in returning our
thanks to you for your courtesy to us in
giving us the information at your com
mand in regard to our inquiries as to
the action of the Court of Ordinary in
regulating peddling iu our county, and
the number of license issued ; also for
publishing in full the sections of the
Code referred to, as well a3 your opin
ion on those sections, which opinion we
fully endorse, and, as it is said that it is
never too late to do a good thing, we
row tender you our thanks and kindest
i *gards, hoping that your prosperity as
newspaper men may increase in future
with the same rapidity as in the past.
We take occasion here to say that we
were favorably impressed with your sug
gestion in reply to our question, inas
much as you yourself was not in pos
session ol the information asked for.—
Your suggestion was this: “But as the
question sprung is certainly one that in
terests tax payers and voters, our Ordi
nary, whom we look upon as a gentle
man of integrity, upon reading the
abovo eommunicafcion should feel called
upon to give the information desired,
for which our columns axe at his dispo
sal.” On our return home we looked
ever your valuable paper with much
anxiety and interest, hoping to get the
Ordinary’s statements and‘views upon
the matter, but found nothing that we
could rely upon for certain as coming
from our Ordinary. We did observe,
however, a Kind of vindictive harangue
which purported to be iu reply to our
inquiries. Now, did we know that
our Ordinary had nothing to do with
the writing and publishing said article
and would not give assent to what it
contaius, we would pass it without no
tice, as it carries upon its face the fact
that public attention has been called to
an error in which the writer was or is
engaged. But, as the Ordinary has had
time to give the public such Lafifcma
tion as was suggested by you, and also
to deny the writing and publishing of
the article, or even to deny the princi
ple set forth and the position taken in
it, we are driven to the conclusion that
if the Ordinary had nothing to do with
writing it, he gives his assent to its con
tents ; aml v as it is written over a name
that Solomon never dared assume, we
will notice s -me of its leading points.
First, he says our questions “ present
points that we most confess are news to
as.” That is simply to say that he is
not worthy of the name he assumes for
himself, for if he had CTer read the sec
tions of the Code that yon published
and had been rightly entitled to his as
suuied name, they would not have been
news so fresh.
Secondly, he says he “didn’t know
before that peddlers sold sewing ma
chines,” &c., and as an evidence that if
sewing machine men (though they trav
el over the country from house to house
or place to place and sell) had been
subject to peddler’s license that a spe
cial tax of $25 would not have been
levied upon them. Now, Mr. Editor,
while upon that clause of the wise man’s
article please allow as to give the gen
tleman a little more news : if he will
1 )ok in W ebster’s Unabridged Diction
ary for the definition of peddiing, he
will learn what he don't seem to know,
irorn his article. As to the special tax
of i‘2s, ire were at Calhoun when Mr.
Lent’s circus was there, and wc saw Mr.
Tom Norton, T. C., collect from Mr.
Lent $25 as special tax. We then saw
tbe Ordinary call on Mr. Lent to re
quire him to take out license, which the
Ordinary said was worth $25. Mr.
Lent disputed his account, and the Or
dinary got his Code and read from sec
tions 532 and 537, when Mr. Lent
caved, but they compromised on sls.
The Ordinary furnished us with one
cf the new Cedes a short time axro,
which we have been reading, and sec
tion 811 says : “ No assessment or pay
ment of tax to the State is to exonerate
the person from taking out a license
from the couuty, or city, or incorporate
town, where they are required by law
to do so.”
So you see if the writer of the arti
cle referred to will study his subject lie
will still get news, although he is “One
Who Knows.”
In the next section of the article the
writer merely refers to our informant
in rather a ridiculous way, which shows
the spirit that moves the writer, let him
be official or peddler. If an official,
should it not be his duty to know the
law that he might enforce it, and if a
peddler, to kuow his duty that he might
perform it ?
The balance of his pithy remarks,
about “venturing a rohnd at Mat Bal
lew’s. Good Templars,” &c., would not
enlighten the public nor interest tax
payers to review, as he contrad'cts his
whole theory in saying at the last that
“some among the most reliable citizens
of Calhoun and vicinity represent the
leading sewing machines, arid who have
taken out license.” He first said it was
“news” to him to call sewing machine
men peddlers, next that no license was
required on account of the State col
lecting $25 special tax, and then to wind
up by saying that “ some among the
most reliable citizens of Calhoun and
vicinity, represent the leading sewing
machines, and have taken out license,”
leads us to believe that “ One Who
Knows ” is not as reliable as our flop
eared informant (so called), for he did
give a correct statement of what the
2ode contained. And if any peddler
of any kind has taken out a license for
Gordon, there are more than our flop
eared informant wrong as to facts : the
Ordinary told us that no one had taken
out a license to peddle.
Mr. Solomon ought not try to deceive
the poor country people by telling them
through your paper that sewing machine
peddlers at Calhoun and thereabouts
have a license and at the same time tell
them that they are not required to have
them.
As wc said before, tbe Ordinary gave
us anew Code, and we see that section
535 says that any tax payer may call
for the license, and if the peddler re
fuses or fails to exhibit them, that is
sufficient grounds for making an affida
vit to cause the forfeiture provided for
in section 533, which is SIOO. So, you
see, Mr. Editor, it is not so much of a
crime for a tax payer to look into the
business of officers and public men as
Mr. Solomon would have you to believe.
We have heard of men who are trying
to run rough shod over the people and
even over counties, but “ One Who
Knows” can’t do it.
Mr. Editor, we like the Ordinary and
we like all the sewing machine men,but
our taxes have become burdensome,and
we know that the material resources of
a county are vested iu its agricultural
interests. Heavy taxes bear harder on
the farmers than any other class, and
they never escape paying. All these
little license fees go to make up the
county fund, and why should such taxes
go unnoticed ? Why don’t our officials
take the same paius to make collections
; of such taxes as they do to collect the
| taxes out of farming citizens and resi
■ dent businessmen ? Why is it that to
’ name tho subject causes aim, st an up
rising of those engaged in the traffic,
and insults the officers ? Not so about
the public revenue due the county by
our farmers. Subscribers.
A MAN named Bloomfield.who was an
accomplice of the notorious Bender fam
ily, of Kansas, was arrested recently,
but took strichnine and died bolore his
trial. It has been established that
Bloomfield assisted in building the
Bender house, and arranged the screen
in front of which the victims were
placed in order to despatch them, and
that he was an inmate of the house for
some months during the scenes of the
terrible murders which so shocked the
world, and made Labette county so no
totorious.
The Indians ran into some ranchmen
near Big Springs, Nebraka, the other’
clay, when “ forty cavalrymen under
Capt. Mills,” the telegraph tells us,
“ left immediately Dy rail, and will en
deavor to strike them.” We have al
ways believed that if our cavalry on the
plains were permitted to travel exclu
sively by rail and put up at a first class
hotel every night, they would exterm
nate the Indians in six weeks.— Couri

In issuing this, the twenty-fifth annual
prospectus of the Savannah Morning News,
it is unnecessary to revert to the history of
tbe paper. For a quarter of a century it
has been the conspicuous and consistent
champion of Southern sentiment aud South
ern interests. The career the Morning
News ha3 been one of singular prosperity.
It. made a place for itsel, from the start and
has kept it, while all of its cotemporariee
of that day, and all save one of its laur ri
vals, have perished by the wayside, and
to-day it stands firmly established in popu
lnr favor, with little or no competition
within the area of is circulation.
The restless activity, energy and enter
prise of the age have so extended the sphere
ot journalism that the modern newspaper
is literally encyclopedic iu character, com
prising -verything of specific or general
interest in the vast domain of art, science,
literature, religion, politics and the news.
Its tendency is to occupy the field of the
pamphlet, the magazine and the novel, and
it is gradually usurping the functions of
those vehicles of thought and iniormation.
Its scope embraces the discussion of every
subject which has been invested with inter
est by the restless explorations of the hu.
man intellect, and includes every topic cal
culated to instruct or to entertain. In the
newspaper of to day the profoundest cxe
getical article goes forth surrounded and re
lieved by the brilliant essay, the caustic re
view, the pungent editorial, the sparkliug
letter of correspondence, and the racy par
agraph—the whole forming a Commune of
Belle-Letires wherein the most noteworthy
literary effort has scarcely any advantage
cf position over the poorest item.
It has been the aim of the conductors of
the Morning News to keep the paper fully
abreast of this tide of progress and im
provement, and to this end no expense ha?
been spared. Tha their efforts have been
in some degree successful, is evident from
the flattering encomiums bestowed upon the
paper by its cotemporaries, and from the
large circulation and influence to which it
has attained. The plans of the Proprietor
for 1874 comprehend a nearer approach to
the ideal journalism of the time than ever
before. The features that have given the
paper a marked individuality among South
ern journals, and which have brought, it up
to its present high standard of popularity,
will be retained and improved upon. Events
of interest transpiring in any portion of the
world within reach of the electric wires,
will find in the Morning News a prompt and
reliable chronicler; and its arrangements
for gathering the news are such that ail im
portant omissions of the telegraph are rea
sonably sure to be supplied by 'its staff of
special correspondents ; so th it the readers
of the paper are certain of finding in its
comprehensive columns the latest and fresh
est intelligence, systematically grouped and
attractively edited.
In it s editorial conduct the Morning News
will consistently pursue tiie policy which
has characterized it from the first, Ques
tions of national or sectional interest, will
be cadidiy and impariia ly discussed, while
every subject of a political complexion will
be treated with an ye single to the welfare,
the progress and the substantial develop
ment of the material resources of the South.
The sys em of carpet-bag robbery and plun
der that has impoverished our sec tion---the
popular practices of official knavery and
corruption—and all those odious features of
Radicalism which have for their object the
prostration of sovereign States and the dis
establishment of civil government in the
South —will be held up to the severest con
demnation; and at all times, in season and
out of season, the paper will advocate the
primitively pure doctrines of a strict con
struction of the Constitution, aud the ad
ministration of the powers of the govern
ment —Executive, Judicial and Legislative
within the limits prescribed by that instru
ment. In subserving the interest cf a sec
tion that has been so sorely oppressed and
so persistently belied, the course of the
Morning News will be, as heretofore, ei
ther cautiously conservative or sharply ag
gressive, as the Dature of the circumstances
may seem to demand ; and it v/iil ne the aim
and purpose of the conductors of the paper
to maintain its position as one es the lead
ing exponents of Southern opinion.
lu the news department, the current
local affairs of Georgia and Florida will
be chronicled with the same picturesque
and pungent assiduity that has made
them such prominent and popular fea
tures of the paper. The local depart
ment is in charge of a gentleman of
skill and reputation, and will continue
to be the most complete and reliable re
cord of home events to be found in any
Georgia journal. Tha commercial de<-
paitment is full and complete. The
figures are collated by experts, and their
accuracy is such as to commend them
to merchants and business men in this
aud the adjoining Ftares. The local
market reports are compiled with labori
ous care and may be relied on as repre*
senting every pjrase of Savannah s com
merce.
The Weekly News is a carefully
edited compendium of the freshest in
telligence and comprises ail of the most
attractiue features of the Daily. It
contains thoughtful editorials upon mat
ters of current interest, lively conden*
satious, characteristic paragraphs, and
the latest telegrams and market reports
up to the hour of going to press. It
specially commends itself to the farm
ers and plante-s of Georgia, Florida and
the adjacent States, and is furnished at
a price that places it within the reach
of all.
What is here said of the Daily and
Weekly may also, with equal truth, be
said of the Tri-Weekly News. It is
one of the best papers of its kind and
contains everything of interest that ap
pears in the Daily, together with the
latest telegrams and commercial intelli
gence.
