election, and recites the events occurring at
Clinton in September. The message recom
mends a modification of the fundamental laws
of the State so as to bring about a better feeling
between the two races. State finances are un
precedentedly favorable. The real debt of the
State, beyond its ability to pay, is only half a
million dollars. The expenses of the State
Government for the past y> ar were six hundred
and eighteen thousand dollars, a reduction in
the year previous of nearly three hundred thou
sand dollars, while the receipts have been four
hundred thousand dollars over the disburse
ments. The message recommends that taxes
be made payable only in United States currency.
A change in the public school laws, so as to
make a system already good still better, is ad
vised.

Madrid, December 31.— El CronUta, the Min
isterial organ, asserts that Gen. Jovellar, the
newly appointed Captain General of Cuba, is to
put an end to all abuses in that island, quite
irrespective of person or position He will hold
all offenders to a full repoasibility.
London, January I.—Heavy rains in the
northern part of Scotland the past few days.
The rivers are swollen and large tracts of land
inundated. Lochearn river overflowed to an
alarming extent. The mills on its banks were
compelled to stop work this morning.
Madrid, January 2.—A royal decree is pro
mulgated convoking the Cortes February 15th.
Deputies and senators are to be elected by uni
versal suffrage on this occasion only. The elec
tion will commence on-the 20rb of January, in
Bpain. The decree farther provides that towns
in Biscay and Navarre, which are free from the
presence of hostile factions, shall elect deputies
and senators for parts of those provinces occu
pied by the enemy. Another decree has been
issued imposing penalties upon the press for
attacks upon the king, royal family and consti
tutional monarchy, and instituting a tribunal
composed of three judges in each of the royal
courts to try newspaper offences.
London, January 3.—The Manchester Ouar
tlian'x London correspondent writes as follows:
On the subject of Spain, Cuba, and the United
States, I have been furnished with what pur
ports to be the substance of the American Cuban
note. I believe it is correct, thohgh I do not
pretend to give the exact language. It recites
that the general interests of humanity and com
merce demand a cessation of the struggle which
has been waged in Cuba for seven years. The
United States are great sufferers, but are un
willing to act without the concurrence of other
powers, including Spain. The continuation of
the attempt to govern Cuba from Madrid will
be fatal to the hopes of restoration of peace.
Nevertheless, Cuba belongs to Spain, and a
great share of its population is opposed to sepa-,
ration. In these circumstances the solution of
the question might be found in establishing a
confederation in the West Indies resembling the
Canadian. Cuba and Porto Rico might be con
stituted a confederation with local independent
rights and a governor general appointed by
Spain. The powers are asked to join the United
States in proposing such confederation and aid
ing Cuba to establish it. The abolition of
slavery would, however, be a necessary conai
tion, and such pressure must be brought as
would make the insurgents cease their warfare.
This would be difficult, but it could be accom
plished. Secretary Fish is emphatic in denying
that the United States desires the acquisition of
Cuba. They only wish peace restored, slavery
abolished, and commerce allowed to resume its
course. The powers are asked to express their
opinion upon the proposed means of accom
plishing these ends.
Madrid, January 4.—A council of ministers,
under the presidency of the King has finally
settled a plan of campaign against the Carlists.
11 Tempo states that Generals Campos and
Quesada will leave for the North immediately.

J. W. BURKE, Assistant Editor.
MACON, GEORGIA. JANUARY 12, 1870.
Croakers.
Of all oIaMGH on earth, defend ns from
those who are habitually croaking. They
are very miserable themselves, and make
every body else unhappy who comes with
in the range of their influence. No mat
tor the circle into which they
enter —all may be sunshine and happi
ness—but when they come, tho ohill is at
once felt; it is like a wet blanket.
This class of people keep the whole
land in gloom. Ob, that they could be
cheerful, how they would enliven others.
We like the following castigation given to
croakers by Dr. Talmage, He says :
Oar blessings are so much more numer
ous than our deserts, that the prophet is
surprised that anybody should ever find
fault. Having life, and with it a thou
sand attendant blessings, it ought to hush
into perpetual silence everything like ciit
icism of the dealings of God, “ Where
fore doth a lining man complain ?”
For the last two or three years the land
has been set to the tune of “Naomi.”
There has been here and there a cheerful
soloist, but the grand chorus has been one
of lamentation, accompanied by dirges
over prostrated commerce, silent manu
factories, unemployed mechanism, and all
those disorders described by the two short
words, “hard times.” The fact is that
we have been paying for the bloody lux
ury of war. There were great national
differences, and wo had not enough Chris
tian character to settle them by arbitration
and treaty, and so we went into battle,
wasting life aud treasure, and well nigh
swamping the national finances:and North
and South, East and West, have ever since
been paying for those four years’ indul
gence in barbarism. But the time has
came when this depression ought to end—
yea, when it will end, if the people are
williug to do two or three things by way
of financial medicament. The best po
litical economists tell ns that there is no
good reason for continued prostration.
Plenty of money awaiting investment.
Magnificent harvests crowding down from
the West to the seaboard. The national
health with never so strong an arm or so
clear a brain. Yet we go on groaning,
groaning, groaning, as though God bad
put this nation upon gruel and allowed
ns but one decent breakfast in six months.
The fact is, the habit of complaining has
become chronic in this country, and after
all these years of whimper and wailing
and objurgation, we are under such a mo
mentum of snivel that we cannot stop.
There are three prescriptions by which
I believe that our individual and national
finances may be cured of their present
depression. The fir-t is cheerful conversa
tion and behavior. I have noticed that
the people in this community who are
most vociferous against the day in which
we live are those who are in comfortable
circumstances. I have made inquiry of
those persons who are violent in their
jeremiads against these times, and I have
asked them : “ Now, after all, are you not
making a living ?” And after some hesi
tation and coughing, and clearing their
throat three or four times, they say, stam
meringly :“ Y e-s.” So that with a great
multitude of people in our midst, it is not
a question of getting a livelihood, but
they are dissatisfied because they cannot
make as much money as they would like
to make. They have only two thousand
dollars in the bank, where they would like
to have four thousand. They can cle-ir in
a year only five thousand dollars, whi n
they would like to clear ten thousand, or
things come out just even. Or in their
trade they get two dollars a day when the'
wish they could get three or four. “O ! ’
says someone, “ are you not aware of the
fact that there is a great population out
of employment, and that there are hun
dreds of the good families of this coun
try who are at their wits’ ends, not know
ing which way to turn ?” Yes, I know it,
better than any man in private life can
know that sad fact, for it comes constant
ly to my ear and eye. But
WHO IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS STATE OF
THINGS ?
Much of that responsibility I put upon
you men in comfortable circumstances,
who by an everlasting growling keep
public confidence depressed and new
enterprises from starting out and new
hous'S from being built. You know very
well that one despondent man can ta'k
fifty men into despondency, while one
cheerful physician can wake up into ex
hilaration a whole asylum of hypochon
driacs. It is no kindness to the poor or
the unemployed for you to join in this
deploratioD. If you have not the wit and
the common sense to think of something
cheerful to say, then keep silent, There
is no man that can be independent of de
pressed conversation, The medical jour
nals are ever illastrating it I was read
ing of five men who resolved that they
would make an experiment and see what
they could do in the way of depressing a
stout, healthy man, and they resolved to
meet him at different points in his
journey ; and as he stepped oat from his
house in the morning in robust health,
one of the five men said : “ Why, you look
very sick io-day. What is the matter.”
He said : ‘‘l am in excellent health ; there
is nothing the matter.” But passing down
the street he began to examine his symp
toms, and the second of the five men met
him and said : “ Why, how bad you do
look.” “Well,” he replied, “I don’t feel
very well!” After a while, the third min
met him, and the fourth man met him
and the fifth came up and said : “ Why,
yon look as if you had had the typhoid
fever for six months. What is the matter
with you.” And the man against whom
the stratogfim had been laid, went home
and if you meet a man with
perpetualmk Rbout hard times, and bank
ruptcy, anT"dreadful winters that are to
come, yon break down his courage. * *
* * But all this lugubrosity of tone and
face keeps people down. Now I will make
a contract. If the people of the United
States for one week will talk cheerfully,
I will open all the manufactories ; I will
give emyloyment to all the unoccupied
men and women ; I will make a lively
market for your real estate that is eating
you up with taxes ; I will stop the long
processions on the way to the poor house
and the penitentiary, and I will spread a
plentiful table from Maine to California,
and from Oregon t > Sandy Hook, and the
whole land shall carol aud thunder with
national jubilee. But says someone : “I
will take that contract ; but we can’t affect
the whole nation.” My friends, repre
senting asyou do all professions, all trades,
and all occupations, if, when disbanding
this morning, you should go through
those doors resolving never again to ntter
a dolorous word about the money markets,
but by manner and by voice, and by wit
and caricature, and above all by faith in
God, to try to scatter this national gloom,
do you not believe the influence would be
instantaneous and widespread? The
effect would be felt to-morrow morning
on Wall street; and what is felt on Wall
'street is felt around the world. For God’s
sake, and for the sake of the unemployed,
quit growling. Depend upon it, if you
men in comfortable circnmstances do not
stop complaining, God will blast your
harvests, and see how you will get along
without a corn crop ; and He will sweep
you with floods as he did Galveston ; and
He will devour you with grasshoppers as
He did Minnesota ; and He will burn
your city as He did Chicago. If you men
in comfortable circumstances keep ou
complaining. God will give yon something
to complain about. Mark that 1
First Street Parson ace—Brother
Clements 9 Reception.
It was our pleasure to be present at the
parsonage of the First Street Church, in
Macon, on Wednesday night last at the
reception of Rev. S. D. Clements and his
family,by a committee of ladies. Throngh
the untiritig energy of the female mem
bers, a sufficient amount had been raised
to buy a handsome carpet for the parlor,
and snch other farnitnre as was necessa
ry to make everything complete. We
scarcely ever saw a parsonage fixed up
with more taste and convenience, and
these kind ladies deserve great thanks for
their zeal. When brother C. and family
arrived about 7 o’clock, they found not
only a comfortable resting place, but a
nice hot supper, and everything that was
necessary to make the newcomers happy.
We have no doubt but the relations be
tween pastor and people at First Street
will be pleasant during the year.
Who Will Help Him 1
Rev. J. P. Duncan, for nearly forty
years a traveling preacher of the Georgia
Conference, now superannuated from
blindness, is an agent for the Advocate,
without salary, and refuses commissions.
He proposes to the membership,local and
itinerant, of the South Carolina, Georgia
and Fiorida,the patronizing Conferences,
to swell the subscription list of the Advo
cate to 25,000. If his life is spared and
God blesses him, he will do his part to
ward this result. Surely there are 25,000
Methodists who can pay five cents per
week for a first-class Church paper sent
to them postage paid.
“Ditson & Cos., our constant adver
tisers, commence the new year with a
large accession of valuable music. They
have purchased the entire stock of Lee &
Walker in Philadelphia, and will continue
the business there under anew title. The
stock thus purchased comprises a quarter
of a mile (500,000 of sheet music
10,000 Music Book Plates, belonging to
250 different books, 125 pianos and organs,
etc. As the original stock of O D. & Cos.,
includes about twice the quantity above
named, it will be seen that they have
literally “music for the million.” See
advertisement.

“Facts are Stubborn Things.”
Thousands of human beings are yearly borne on
the swift current of disease down to the grave,
lust because they do not possess a sufficient
knowledge of themselves. A man meets his neigh
bor, and the first salutation is. “ How are yon ?”
or “How is your health?” The reply frequently
is, “ Oh, I am well, with tho exception of a cold.”
Most persons lightly regard a cold. Reader, do
you know that a cold is one of the most dangerous
of maladies? A cold not only elogs up the pores of
the entire system, and retards circulation, but it is
productive of Catarrh, which is quite apt to lead
to consumption. ”Oh.” you say, "it is nothing
but a cold in my head.” True, but that cold is
really a mild form of Catarrh, and if not arrested
in its course will become chronic. Catarrh is one
of the most disagreeable, offensive affections in
the catalogue of diseases. The passage to the nose
is obstructed, the sense of smell impaired, and
there is a disagreeable sensation of pressure in the
head. In the more advanced stages, there is a dis
charge having an offensive odor. If the disease
be allowed to continue in its course, thick, hard 4
incrustations will form in the head, the bones of
whicn sometimes become softened and break away
in pieces. Why will persons continue to suffer
from such an annoying, disgusting disease when
they can just as well be cured of it? Dr, Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy will cure the worst forms of Ca
tarrh ; in fact, it is the only cure and safe remedy
which has yet been offered to the public. Many
harsh, irritating preparations may, fora time, re
lieve the urgency of the syptoms, but they do not
oure the disease. Dr. Sage’s Catarrh Remedy is
soothing and healing in its effects, and when used
with Dr. Pierce's Nasal Douche, according to di
rections, does not fail to effect a cure. Sold by all
Druggists.
The Centennial of 1876.
This highly favored country is about to celebrate
its hundredth birthday. Under its favored privi
leges, its citizens have been happy; worshiping
G"d according to the dictates of their own con
s iences ; pursuing their chosen avocations unmo
-1 •’.-ted ; growing rich and prosperous. Some have
attained the most exalted positions from the
smallest beginnings. This is particularly applica
ble to Dr. Tutt’s Liver Pills. Ten years ago
they had but a limited local reputation, but in this
time, aided by scientific research and conscientious
business direction, they have attained such a ce
lebrity that there is not a country on the globe
that they are not known and used, wherever
disease prevails, especially such as result from
torpid liver, dyspepsia, costiveness, sick.headache,
fever and ague, and they are eagerly sought for.

' THE WEEKLY SUN.
1776. New York. >876.
Eighteen hundred and seventy-six is the Cen
tennial year. It is also the year in which an Op
position House of Representatives, the first since
the war, wiil fee in power at Washington ; and the
year of the twenty-third election of a President
of the United States. All of these events are sure
to be of great interest and importance, especially
the two latter: and all of them, and everything
conne.-ted with them, will be fully and freshly re
ported and expounded in The Sue.
The Opposition House of Representatives, tak
ing up the line of inquiry opened years ago by
The Suit, will sternly and diligently investigate
the corruptions and misdeeds of Grant’s adminis
tration ; and will, it is to be hoped, lay the foun
dation for anew and better period in our national
history. Of all this The Sun will contain com
plete and accurate accounts, furnishing its readers
with early and trustworthy information upon
these absorbing topics.
The twenty-third Presidential election, with the
preparations for it, will be memorable as deciding
upon Grant’s aspirations for a third term of
power and plunder, and still more as deciding who
shall be the candidate of the party of Reform,
and as electing that candidate. Concerning all
these suhj.cts, those who read The Sun will have
the constant means of being thoroughly well in
formed.
The Weekly Sun, which has attained a ciren
lation of over eighty thousand copies, already has
its readers in every State and Territory, and we
trust that the year 1876 will see their numbers
doubled. It will continue to be a thorough news
paper. All the general news of the day will be
found in it, condensed when unimportant, at full
length when of moment: and always, we trust,
-tTeated in a clear, interesting, and instructive
manner.
It is our aim to make the Weekly Sun the best
family newspaper in the world, and we shall con
tinue to give in its columns a large amount of
miscellaneous reading, such as stories, tales,
poems, scientific intelligence and agricultural in
formation, for which we are not able to make
room in our daily edition. The agricultural de
partment especially is one of its prominent fea
tures. The fashions are also regularly reported in
its columns; and so are the markets of every
kind.
The Weekly Sun. eight pages with fifty-six
broad columns, is only $1.20 a year, postage pre
paid. As this price barely repays the cost of the
paper, no discount can bo made from this rate to
clubs, agents. Postmasters, or any one.
The Daily Sun. a large four page newspaper of
Itwenty-eight columns, gives all the news for two
[cents a copy. Subscription, postage prepaid. 55c.
|a month, or $6 50 a year. Sunday edition extra,
Hl.lo per year. We have no traveling agents.
