JJKABT I*ROM THE YOUTH. 


The Young Men of Jackson Utter 
their Ultimatum. 


Monday night at the second meet 
ing of the Young White Men's .League 
of Jackson, which comprises almost 
every white man of Jackson from 
nineteen to twenty-nine years ol age, 
unanimously passed the following 
resolutions, with the order that a 
thousand copies be printed and dis 
tributed so soon as a nomination was 
made : k 

We, tbe yon < ig tpnite men ol Jack 
son, haying pt rn ne of --ur number 
coldly, cruelly and ..ellishly murdered 
in the dark by a n ^o bull-, Oet on by 
a negro policeman of this negro cursed 
city, do hereby resolve in «olemn and 
awful earnestness, tl:at the corrupt, 
Radical negro government of our city 
should, must and shall be wiped out, 
cost it what it may. -<• 

We have earnestly believed in peace 
and law and order, and WP hope now 
that this government of negro butch 
ers may peacefully yield to defeat, but 
we want no peace bought at the price 
of our manhood and of our com 
panion's blood. 

Driven by no sudden passion or 
blind impulse, but actuated by a firm 
and deliberate sense of the duty we 
owe to ourselves and to our race, we 
hereby warn thr- negroes that if any 
one o: their race attempts to run for 
office ii> the approaching municipal 
election, he does so at .his supremest 
peril, and we further warn any -nd 
all negroes of this it y againsi at 
tempting, at their uti.uvt hazard, by 
vote or influence to foist on us again 
this black and damnable machine 
miscalled a government of our city. 

And we call upon all the young 
men of our city and surrounding 
country who do not sanction the 
fiendish murder of a white boy by a 
negro bully—up-'-n all who love the 
white race better than they love negro 
assassins—upon all who have courage 
in their hearts or manhood in their 
souls to bitterly remember the blood 
of the murdered McWillie Mitchell 
from now until the election day, and 
sweep away this iïifamy of govern 
ment with its black and brutish hands 
stained and wet with blood of a brave 
and noble boy.

DIRECTIONS. 

For Crab Lice, Body Lice, or Head Lice, 

Apply the Ointment to tho parts of the body frequented by the Vermin, every night for three 
nightrf, after which, wash the body well in moderately warm water and soap, and apply the Ointment 
to'th« seams of thre clothing, when you will find that they will all disappear. By the use of this 
Ointment, there will be no need of destroying your clothing, as has heretofore been the custom with 
Soldiers who have beeu infected; thereby you save, by the use of one single box, the cost of one suit 
of clothing. 

To Prevent or Keep Clear of them, 

Apply the Ointment to the seams of your under-clothing every time you change, and you may, with 
impunity, sleep with men who are covered with vermin, and not feel in the least afraid of having 
them trouble you, as vermin cannot remain in the vicinity of the 

COtZEV OINTMENT.

Tetter, Ring-Worm, <fec. 

Apply the Ointaient to the parts of the body affected, rubbing well every night, taking in the

the eruptions dry up or disappear, the patient avoiding dampness as much as possible; after which, 
bathe the body well in lukewarm water and soap. 

FOR DANDRUFF IN THE HAIR OR BEARD, 

Apply the Ointment to the skin, rubbing it in well, afcout three times a week, or oftener if neces 
sary, until the disease disappears, then wash th'e Hair or Beard well, and apply about once a week for 
a short time, when all symptoms will disappear.

 Farrow on the Jiuteeehlp* 

A reporter of THE CONSTITUTION meet.'ig Clor- 
nel Henry P. Farrow, of Brunswick, in the city yes 
terday talked with him on the judgeship of the 
southern district of Georgia. He says he will bean 
applicant when the vacancy occurs and will use all 
honorable efforts to secure the offi"3. He tMnks 
there will be a spirited contest for it, participated 
in by republicans and democra1'; and is of the 
opinion that a republican will be appointed. He 
thinks he will have the advantage of any of his 
competitors in view of the fact that he has devoted 
himself closely to his profession for twenty-six 
years, was attorney-general of the 
state of Georgia for four yea«., was 
Uni ed States attorney for the northern 
and the southern districts of Georgia for two full 
terms of frur years each, has the support of the 
leading men of his own political party and of many 
prominent men of the opposite party, and last but 
not least havirg at all times and under all circum 
stances since the surrender been pronounced in the 
expression and advocacy of his republican princi 
ples and at the same time tolerant and liberal to 
those around him who entertained and expressed 
other sentiments. He says he will not disparage the 
merits of othPr aspirants but in his efforts 
to set the office will rely upon his own 
qualifications ' and claims for success. Colonel 
Farrow further remarked that the high esteem for 
Judge Erskine, both personally and officially, 
growing out of the close relations which existed 
between them during the eight years he was U. 8. 
attorney in his courts, would not permit him to 
enter into an active canvass for the office on mere 
rumor that it was the judge's intention to resign, 
but that the interview which appeared in THE 
CONSTITUTION yesterday was practically an author- 
ative announcement and would have the effect of 
opening an active canvass for the succession.

 HINTS TO WHITE MEN. 

Record of Col. RAWLS ! 


Coi.. RAWI,S, of Effingbam County, now candidate for election to the 43d Congress from the First 
District, is a convivial gentleman, at whose home a friend will receive a pleasing welcome. He is a man 
ufacturer of pine lumber and timber to which he has given most of his time and attention since he reach 
ed manhood. Meeting but little success in his lumber business in the three car four years immediately 
following the war, he stated to some neighbors who were talking of poor crops,: that he intended for .the 
future, to plant politics ; and so indeed he has done ! With but little breadth of intellect he is what is 
usually •termed a sharp man! If he cannot "turn a-«orner" neatly and profitably for himself, then the 
corner has no money in it ! He received in his early days a+jjwderate educa^ioo, to Tvhich very little has 
been added by general reading. Of th,e political history of tj^s -country he has no knowledge except that 
which he.-has been able to glean from the current discussions, of the day. Of the science of statecraft be 
has absolutely no knowledge whatever. To offset this Jack, however,, -hc has perseverance: anÀ an 
unbounded confidence in his "luck;." or, to-use the.languagajiri which he is reported to have expressed 
himself : " If he has not the ability to represent the F.icpg Congressional District at Washington, he lias 
the necessary impudence !' •.••>i,r-'• ; -.1 î; ;•-. F „• b-v.'-,'- .J • :;; . / •?•;-; 

A brief statement of some points .in the political and legislative'record of Col. Rawls is here offerejd 
as likely-tafce of interest to fixed and immovable Democrats who will not, knowingly, vote for :a ojan 
like.-feim. Col. Bawls is so little known to the voters of this district that a record, which h« wogfônfpw 
be g}ad to hide, ought to bß ventilated in order that those men may not be deceived whose rule is,-not to 
vpte,,an.ksfi.tbey can vote for a man whom they know to be a good man and the right one\ 

• :- In the earfy part of 1867, Gov. J. E. BROW^T iaddi-essed a letter to the people of Georgia advising 
them to "accept the situation," and to acquiesce in that second ** rereonstruction " of Georgia^ which led 
to the expulsion of Gov. .Tonkins from office. Col. Rawls was at first very much impressed .with the idea 
that Brown's plan was " the thing" and he has ever since had a soft spot in his.heart for the re-construc 
tion doctrines and measures. .But finding that the people were not disposed to follow the .line of policy 
proposed by Brown ; Rawls remained quietly on the fenee, until the election was- ordered in-1868 for the 
first Legislature under Bullock, Thereupon he set about " planting his crop of. politics," by putting him 
self before the people of hia country as a candidate for the House of Representatives.. He was- as much 
on everyside of every question as he safely could be, and agreed with, all persons white or black, just .as 
he now sympathises with, the opinions of the " Straights "—hopes Gveeley will, be ejepted- -and. claims 
betöre the negroes that he is tneir warm friend;; By a cute trade, of which he loves to boast, he contrived 
to win an election at which he was not the choice of a large proportion of the white people.: He received 
a largc-number of negro votes, without which hç-"would have been defeated. .His first public act oi" im- 
portance in that .body which won the unenviable title-of the "Bullock Legislature," is-recorded on page 
248 of the House Jonrnal for the Session of 1868, September 4th, -in the following words : ''.Mr; Rawls 
of Effing-ham offered as a substitute that the Treasurer be instructed to pay officers and members jof this 
House, including those inelligible ($9.00) nine dollars per day, et,cj" The substitut«: was adopted. Thus 
was Col. Rawls the author of 4lie nine dollars per day business. The " Bullock Legislature " was in ses 
sion from the 4th day of July to the 6th day of the following October ; from the ,13th <jf January, 1869, 
to.the ISth of March ; from.the 10th of January, 1870, tp the 6th of May,; and from, the 6th of July to 
the 25th of October, 1870, making nearly fifteen months -out-of -less than twenty-eight months, for .which 
Col. Rawls drew pay at nine dollars per day, $4,000, or there- about ; a pretty fair "political crop," surely, 
for a beginner ! And every? time that a reduction was proposed iu the pay of members, Col. Rawls 
worked and voted against reduction ! For instance, on the 21st day of January, 1869, .Mr. Hudson offer 
ed' a proposition reducing the pay of members to $7 per diem.. " Mr. Rawls moved the. 'indefinite post 
ponement of the whole question." And so on to the end of the chapter, saying he "could not afford to 
work for less ! " And the inquiry becomes pertinent whether, when he reaches -Washington! he will rnot 
continue his fondness for the number nine, and raise his pay to $9,000 pqr annain. 

It was during the sessions of this Legislature that Col. Kawls came,,to be reckoned u "Bullock Demo 
crat," by which term was meant one with whom at critical tames, his Excellency could make arrangements 
"to fVjOte or dodge." To what extent he deserved this title is of course best known to the gentleman 
himself. On many of the most important -questions which were before the House the.-yeas and n&y-s were 
tnot recorded. It will surprise one who will examine the record of the yeas and -May«, for these fifteen 
.months, to see how very often the name.of Rawls does not appear .in Jjie list of voters, b.ut:the frequent 
.absence ol his name will not seem to be without significance when coaneeted with--the fact that he is re- 
.ported! J»y his-fellow-citizens to haye said "Bullock was a cle»e.ï gentlemanÎ" One instance, however, of 
,this "dodging" is. too gla4*ig to be'omitted. It will be reKMtfnber«d that -tbe newspaper press teefbed in 

-ibe latter part «># 18€8 aad .the early ^art of l§§S,;;withi *tatement£V vouched for; by Treasurer Ângier, 
,t3ast Birlleck ha4 without authority of law p»id up^ftsds; of-$30,000 to II. VKimbalL and others in the 
celebrated "Opera House" business. On the 18th,4ay.of February, 1869, Mr. Fowler from the Finance 
( cotomitte«;submitted .a n*iDQrity report condemnatory ,^£ ,B.ailock!.Siiopursa. The report ppd, proceedings 
thereon are to be found from page 260 to page 266 of the Journals for that session. TJpoH the motion of 
Mr. Scott of FJoyd, the'tpreyioi^ jquesl^n being «alledrand »ustainedj the yeas and nays were requirf d to

K.OF H. 


HOW THEY ARE CARRIED OUT. 

For the information of all who are unac- 
quaiisfed-' with the plans and workings of 
our Order, we make the .following explana 
tions, which, we trust, will place the matter 
in a clear light before all who desire to know 
who we are and what we propose to do. 

The Order of Knights of^ionor is an in 
corporated institution, claiming to combine 
;itt the best features of older secret associa 
tions, with some new elements of usefulness 
and strength that cannot fail to.render it at 
once attractive, popular and prominent. 
Among these, we will name some of the 
most important. 

IT TOLERATES NOTHING, SECTARIAN, SEC 
TIONAL OR POLITICAL. 

The platform it- has created is a broad 
one, embracing all classes and conditions of 
men, who are honorable and honest, and 
seek the welfare of their fellows; hence its 
rapid growth in numbers, embracing good 
and useful men from all the better grades of 
society. 

IT GIVES MORAL, INTELLECTUAL AND MATE 
RIAL AID TO ITS MEMBERS, 

By the promotion of. such schemes of social 
and moral improvement, as may be found 
most practical and effective, and by carry 
ing out a systematic practice of mutual sup 
port and relief in business and pecuniary 
affairs. This, is also a strong element of suc 
cess, and much good has already been 
accomplished in this direction. 

IT GIVES TIMELY ASSISTANCE AND RELIEF 

To sick and distressed members, and stran 
gers. This is done by fixed laws and by 
general obligations, that cannot fail to reach 
the object desired. In this work of brother 
ly love and charity, our Order hopes to do 
its full duty. 


IT ESTABLISHES A WlDOW AND ORPHANS' 
BENEFIT FUND 

From which the sum of two thousand dol 
lars must be paid to the family or represen 
tative of each member who dies. This is, 
perhaps, its most distinctive feature, and the 
manner of its carrying out this object upon 
a plan more successful and economical 
than any heretofore adopted, is the point to 
which special attention is directed. 

It is computed that out of every thousand 
lives insured, about nine die annually. So, 
upon this fixed basis, we calculate on hav 
ing on an average in a series of years, 
eighteen deaths per annum to every two 
thousand members; $2000 being the amount 
due at the death of each member, every 
two thousand members paying $18 per an 
num to the widow and orphans' fund, meets 
the mortuary demands of the Order, and as 
such, our Order offers virtually an insurance 
of $2000 for $18 per annum. 

Why the benefits of our widow and or 
phans' fund can be obtained for so much less 
than a policy of life insurance; is simply 
from the fact that all well-regulated life in 
surance companies have to heavily load 
their premiums to meet the NECESSARILY 
large expense required to run successfully 
their complicated machinery; while the 
Knights of Honor, in its peculiar organism, 
runs its widow and orphans' benefit fund 
free of any expense; the Order in successful 
operation is amply sufficient to carry out the 
plans of that department without the ex 
penditure of a single-'flollar of that fund— 
hence its laws wisely provides that everv 
dollar of the widow and orphans' benefi* 
fund shall be held sacred, and that ne por 
tion of it is to be expended in any other 
way but in payment of death claims, thus 
furnishing the benefits of this fund at first 
cost. It is a savings bank, conducted with 
out expense, ready to honor the sight dr?fts 
of its widows and orphans, by paying back 
in full all the moneys intrusted to it by the 
provident brotherhood. 

OUR SMALL INSTALLMENT PLAN. 

To the poor man or man of moderate 
means, we present an .easy, safe and sure 
method of payment. His premiums are 
paid in small installments, and handled in 
the following manner: Each and every 
member, (except honorary members) upon 
receiving the third, or Degree of Manhood, 
pays a fee of one dollar, if between the ages 
of twenty-one and forty-five years, or a pro 
portionately increased amount for ages 
greater'than forty-five years, and the same 
amount on each assessment thereafter while 
he is a member of the Order. These fees, 
thus accumulated ' from all the lodges, go 
into the Supreme Lodge Treasury, where 
they are held sacred and distinct from all 
other revenues, as the Widows' and Or 
phans' Benefit Fund of the Order. Out of 
this common fund, the sum of two thousand 
dollars is paid upon the death of each and 
every full-rate member to his family or legal 
representative. After paying this benefit, 
if less than four thousand dollars remain in 
the Supreme Treasury, then an assessment 
is made upon "every member of the Order, 


due notice being given through the proper 
officials of the Order to all the lodges, 
which each member is required to pay to 
the Financial Reporter of his lodge, within 
thirty days from the date of the official call 
for such assessment, or failing to do so, is 
liable to suspension from the benefits of the 
Order. The machinery for this collection 
is so complete and simple that little or no 
expense is incurred, and no arrearages or 
unpaid balances are allowed, each lodge 
being held responsible for the full collection 
within the time named. The whole ex 
pense of the collection and disbursement 
and management of the Widows' and Or 
phans' Benefit Fund is paid out of the 
ordinary revenue of the lodges, so that 
every dollar set apart for that purpose re 
mains intact. 

The safety and security of these funds is 
fully fortified by stringent laws and ample 
bonds, and as far as human appliances can 
make them, are beyond the reach of possi 
ble loss. Each individual member is inter 
ested in the safety and perpetuity of this de 
partment, and is fully pledged to carry out 
its provisions and requirements. 

Thus, it will be seen, that the aims and 
objects of the Knights of Honor are high 
and noble, and its plans of operating so 
simple and comprehensive, as to commend 
themselves to ever, .me who examines into 
them. Our computation above given is 
based upon outside figures, and we ihink it 
no more than fair to-allo-A-, that large mar 
gins may b xpecteii, from thi> fact that 
onlv men of ... ell-known moral character 
an correci ha! t^ are admitted. Similar 
institutions • onducted upon this plan finds 
much less per <. entage ( f "los» than was 
expected, and our own Order has only had 
five deaths within the past two years, giving 
most of its members an insurance of two 
thousand dollars for a premium of five 
dollars. 

The Order of Knights of Honor is no 
rival to other older secret associations, but 
strives to emulate the virtues and good 
qualities of them all. Neither does it enter 
the fieid as an opponent of Life Associations. 
It simply takes up 'the arguments that ren 
der the value of life insurance a stubborn 
fact, and reiterates them with new emphasis 
in their application to our special purposes. 


How TO GET UP A LODGE.—Secure a 
list of gcod influential names of persons 
who you are satisfied will pass a thorough 
medical examination. JV te is the least 
number to whom a dispensation can be 
granted—fifteen, twenty, or twenty-five 
would be better. One hundred dollars will 
pay all the expenses of instituting a lodge, 
including charter fee, and all necessary par- 
apharnalia and supplies. The fees required 
of your individual charter members cannot 
be less than nine dollars for all the degrees, 
provided there are fifteen applicants.— 
Where your number is small, a larger 
amount should be charged, so that some 
money may be left in your treasury after 
paying the necessary expenses of instituting 
the lodge.

 ME. PIERCE offered the following resolution : 

WHEBEAS, The present State School Commissioner is a stranger to our people, and BO little acquainted with our wants and desires 
that under his management the system of public instruction is now, and will always be, a failure ; therefore, be it 
Resolved, That he be requested to resign at once the office he now holds. 

The foregoiug resolution was passed in the House of Representatives by yeas 115, najs 26, aud in 
the Senate by yeas 23, nays 13. 

And now let us ask what does it mean, and what kind of a spirit was it that induced the Democracy 
to insult and attempt to degrade a noble, high-toned and polished gentleman, who has cast his fortunes 
among our people, and, by his prompt and efficient attention to the interests of the School Commission, 
has aud does enjoy the approval of every fair minded man in Georgia, regardless of political preferences. 

Now, was not the foregoing resolution intended to cast a slur upon General Lewis, for no other reason 
than that he is Northern born, and was a prominent officer in the Federal army? Does not the whole 
tiling find a solution here, and is it not time that such proscription and sectional hatred should be silenced, 
much less that a good and true man, one that has cast his fortunes among our people, and enjoys the 
high respect and esteem of all who are familiarly acquainted with him, should be insulted in this manner, 
by a body of men purporting to be the representatives of the people. This is a sample of the feeling 
that still pervades in certain sections of the Slate. And is there never to be an end to this hatred? Is 
it possible that good and true men of all parties cannot bury the hatchet on account of past differences, 
and vie with each other in building up, instead of tearing down? 

If General Lewis had been a Democrat, no such resolution u~ the foregoing- would ever havo passed 
the General Assembly, and he would have been complimented by the same body, no doubt, as possessing 
abilities of the highest order. 

The truth of the matter is that the Democracy have been out of the public crib so long that there is 
danger of foundering before they get used to the new state of things; and if they don't cease their 
ostracism and abuse of men simply on account of birth and difference of opinion, they ought to be 
foundered. 

Therefore be it resolved, by Hie Executive Committee of tlie HepMican Party of Atlanta, That we have 
ever found General Lewis to be a high-toned and polished gentleman ; and we lake occasion hereby to 
indorse him as a gentleman every way qualified for the high duties of the position to which he has been 
assigned, and which he has managed with so much credit to himself and advantage to the country.

Address, 


.T. TV. BUIfcKlE & CO., Maçon, 


 TO THE-'REPUBLICANS 

OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. 


Having been appointed against my wishes, 
expressed both publicly and privately, by the 
Speaker as chairman of a committee to in 
vestigate the state of affairs in the South, 
ordered to-day by Democratic votes against 
the most earnest protest of more than a two- 
thirds majority of the Republicans of the 
House, and certainly against the almost 
unanimous wish of the Republicans of the 
States whom it most specially concerns, my 
self-respect and deference to your good opin 
ion requires me to explain to you, and 
through you to the country, why I shall not 
serve on that committee—being convinced, as 
I am, that no good but harm only can come 
of it to the Republican party. 

First. Because this committee was forced 
upon the Republicans by the nearly unani 
mous vote of the Democratic party in the 
House, aided by some twenty or thirty Re 
publicans only, against the decision of the 
majority of that party iu a duly called caucus 
of the members of the House. 

Second. Because this committee was raised 
by a combination of the high-tariff Republi 
cans with the Democracy; the one class will 
ing to permit the slaughter and extermina- 
. tion of their political friends in the South if 
the tariff could be saved, even for nine 
months, by an early adjournment of Con- 
cress, and'the Democracy acting with them 
in pursuance of a deliberate plan, carefully 
concocted, in mj belief, to murder and out 
rage enough Union men of the South to over 
come, by fear, intimidation, and injury the 
Republican majority at the next Presidential 
election, well knowing that this committee 
ran do them no harm, aud that it will-furnish 
an excuse to the tariff Republicans to vote 
with them for an early adjournment, without 
legislation to protect Union men in the rebel 
States. ; 

Third. Because such committee wouM $e 
wholly powerless for any good purpose. Sit 
ting in the vacation, it can have, under par 
liamentary law, no power to compel the at 
tendance of a single witness who does not 
choose to come, or an answer from one ,«hen 
he doe-s come; as the onlymethod by which 
any witness can be brought before a Con 
gressional committee and made tu answer 
when unwilling is, the Housebeingin «essieu, 
by its order of arrest, and imprisonment 
for his contempt during the session onlV; 
so that any unwilling witness can not be 
compelled to testify to anything; and the 
witnesses willingly coming before the commit 
tee to testify anything against their Ku-klux 
neighbors would be killed on their way home 
from the committee room. I do not, there 
fore, propose to make myself accessory be 
fore the fact to the murder of every faithful 
Union man of the South who shall be brought 
before the committee and give truthful evi 
dence of the state of outrage and wrong 
which I know to exist there. 

Fourth. Because my service as chairman 
of the committee would furnish the best 
electioneering document that could be placed 
in the hands of the Democracy in the com 
ing contest, in this, that the report of the 
committee would be wholly nugatory, illu 
sory, and useless to show the exact state of 
things at the South. Whenever and wherever 
the committee would go there would be sun 
shine and peace, and we should be com 
pelled so to report. Where we were not 
and could not be, banded murder, robbery, 
arson, would stalk abroad at night, to be 
disbanded by the rising sun. Besides, I have 
not the slightest doubt that while serving on 
your committee in the Southern States I 
shonld be treated with the highest and most 
distinguished consideration and respect. 
That would be in the farthest de 
gree politic, and Southern men under 
stand politics. 1 fully believe that I can go 
anywhere through every portion of the South, 
alone and unattended, and, a fortiori, when at 
the head of a Congressional committee of in 
vestigation, without personal harm or in- 
suit. Therefore, when Republicans should 
claim in the canvass that it was necessary to 
maintain the Republican party in power to 
have peace at the South and protect our loyal 
friends there, they would be answered on 
every Democratic hustings, "You are not to 
be believed when you say that the laws can 
not be executed at the South and men's lives 
and property are in danger there, when you 
see that General Entier, the man who hanged 


one of these rebels' brethren; the man who 
brought New Orleans into subjection ; the man 
who is more hated and vilified in the South 
than any other, can go through it untouched 
and unharmed." 1 nave no intention of aid 
ing the Democratic cause and breaking down 
the Republican party by furnishing in my 
own person any such argument with no 
countervailing good. 

Fifth. Because with these views of the ef 
ficiency and powers of the committee, my ser 
vices would be useless, and I am not accus 
tomed to undertake to do that which I feel 
that I have no power successfully to accom 
plish. And it is a parliamentary practice 
which has lately been illustrated in a signal 
instance in the Senate that the chairman of ,i 
committee shonld be in harmony with the 
iiiajority who constitute it; and there is no 
element of harmony between me and that 
Democratic party, largely composed of Seces 
sionists, old Whigs, and Know-nothings, who 
are the majority that constituted tnis com 
mittee. 

Sixth. Because this committee was brought 
into being by a legislative trick—and not a 
creditable one at that—by which the wishes 
of the Republican majority of the House have 
been thwarted by a Republican minority, by 
the aid of Democratic votes, with which pro 
ceeding, as a Republican, I desire-most ef 
fectually to divorce myself. 

Seventh. Because the very resolution which 
authorized the committee was so framed, and, 
in my belief, purposely, in the interests of 
the Democratic party, that such committee 
cannot report under the rules of the House, 
in the face of the Democratic opposition, and, 
by their permission, in more than a year from 
this time, the usual power not being inserted 
in it, " to report at any time;" and being a 
»pecial select committee, it cannot, under 
+be rules of the House, be cabled it Ma-ttaft 
until alter all the stanaiBff committees have 
been called, which, in the last House of Rep 
resentatives, took more than a year. So that, 
without the leave of the Democrats, such 
committee-could not even make a report and 
have it printed until after the end of the next 
Presidential canvass. 

Eighth. Because the passage of the resolu 
tion is a seeming discourtesy to the other 
.branch of the .Legislature; t.he"Scu _ -•;'->» 
taken up an investigation through its own 
committee, having proceeded to a very con 
siderable extent in it, and made a report in 
part, which certainly to every Republican 
mind shows a state of crime and horror suffi 
cient to justify legislative action. The House , 
is made to say to the Senate, "You are not ' 
competent to perform the work you have 
undertaken; we will take it out of your 
hands." 

I have no fear that yo.u, my Republican 
friends, will think for a moment that any 
considerations looking to the labor and 
fatigue of such an undertaking in the heat 
of summer and the height of the yellow fever 
season in the Southern States, or the fact 
that I should be drawn from my home to 
carry on the investigation- during those 
months, after laborious and arduous service 
here for more than four months, would deter 
me if I believed anv good could arise to the. 
country from the labor or the exposure. I 
have spent more than one summer under a 
Southern sky to give what aid I could in pre 
serving the life of the country; and if any 
goad could come of it, I would be quite will 
ing to spend another, although when there 
before I was master of the rebellion within 
my reach and the scarcely less deadly and 
venomous yellow fever. 

I am compelled to take this mode to ad 
dress you in declining to serve, because the 
announcement of the committee was not 
made by tbe Speaker until after the vote of 
adjournment had been taken, and imme 
diately thereupon his hammer fell, by which 
he adjourned the House, so as to preclude 
the possibility of resigning the place thus 
attempted to be forced upon me at the 
time. I believe I can demonstrate, even if a 
majority of a parliamentary body can force 
a Massachusetts man off a committee at plea 
sure, that it is quite another thing for the 
Speaker to force another on a committee 
against his consent. 

1 have the honor to be, very truly, your 
friend and servant, 

BENJ. F. BUTLEE.

CAMPAIGN APPOINTMENTS. 


To the Gitizens of the Second Congressional 

District : 

. Again nominated for election to Congress, 
by the unanimous voice of a Convention, as? 
one of t he standard bearers of the Demoeratic 
party, I would call your attention to the im 
portance of the election, which is to be iield 
on the 20th, 21st and 22d of December, for a 
member of Congress, members of the Legis 
lature and county officers. 

The present condition of the country itj 
bordering upon irretrievable disaster and 
- ruin. 

The Radical party now in power has vio 
lated the Constitution, subverted the rights of 
the States, destroyed the sacred guarantees of 
personal liberty and the freedom of elections, 
have impoverished the people by heavy and 
unequal taxation ; squandered the public 
land and treasure- to enrich monopolies and 
partisan favorites, and have established 
military despotism over peaceful communities 
and States to force them to the accomplish 
ment of their selfish, corrupt aud tyrannical 
designs. No hoaest citizen can speak or 
think of the actiou and present condition of 
our State Government without feelings of 
Sorrow and indignation for the past, and ap- 
pfëEëSBluii fvi the futur». - ————_____ 

With an unscrupulous Executive and a 
Legislature organized by a corrupt " ring,'' 
co-operating with a United States Military 
Court, packed with men who, were not elect, 
ed by the people, their course have been 
marked by bad laws,'extravagance corruption, 
a disregard of the Constitution, and of the 
rights and interests of the people. 

Two years more of such rule would bring 
tuin and bankruptcy to all the great interests 
of the State, and would destroy the hope of 
securing constitutional liberty in the future 


Our opponents are at work day and night i<i 
the "Loyal Leagues" and "Republican 
Clubs," ordering and controlling their oath- 
bound colored men as their political slaves» 
sending their emissaries over the country i o 
propagate falsehoods and misrepresentations, 
and to incite enmity and hatred between the 
white and colored people. The colored 
people should be conviuced that their civil 
and political rights are secured to them in 
the same manner, and to the same extent as 
the rights of the white people, and that hav 
ing a common interest in the welfare and 
property „of the State, we should work to 
gether and . elect good men to office, and 
secure an honest au economical administra 
tion Of the Government. They need instruc 
tion as to thier rights and interests, and they 
need protection against the tyranny and 
threats of violence from their Radical drivers 
Let this be a part of our duty. People of 
Georgia ! let us make an effort worthy of the 
great cause for which we contend. Let no 
personal sacrifice stand in the way of our 
duty to save the State from the evils which 
surround us and threaten our destruction^ 
Every man should bp a missionary; every 
community should bê a unit. There should 
be no division upon candidates, or otherwise. 
A single vote may determine our fate. Lej 
every man be at the polls. Finally, 
let us offer our earnest prayers and best 
efforts to the Almighty Ruler of men and 
nations for the salvation of our beloved 
State. 

It not providentially prevented, I will ad 
dress the people at the following times and 
places, and 1 invite my opponent, Major 
VVhitely, to meet me and discuss the ques»

IMPORTANT CERTIFICATES TO BUYERS OF COTTON TIES. 

JOHN T. BUTLER, ESQ., NEW °RtEAN8> MAT 18™' ]867' 

Sir—We, the undersigned, having been engaged for a number of years in the business of Compressing Cotton coming to this 
market, cheerfully take this opportunity of stating for the benefit of the Merchants, Planters and the public in general, that in our 
opinion, the Butler Buckle Cotton Tie should liave preference over all other Cotton Ties, as being the strongest, simplest and easiest of 
application, and know that we can Compress a bale of Cotton put up with this Tie with more facility and expedition than with any 
other Tie now in use. 

The Buckles which nre attached to other Ties are weak in their construction, and very insecure, and we have been compelled in 
many instances, and at our own expense, to use the Butler Buckles, with which to replace the others.

selected with care from the Latest Designs

we invite your attention. Our 


w

Jtfovelties, 

With thanks for past favors, -we 

hope to ment a continuance of your patron 
age. 

Very Respectfully Yours, 


 TO SEE THE PICTURE OF 

"The Arched Tree" 

Of which the Charleston News and Courier says: 

"A Lovely Landscape. 

Miss Alexander, of Kentucky, has contributed a lovely 
picture of an arched tree to the Art Exhibit of the Mines 
and Forestry building. 

The picture which represents a green Kentucky land 
scape with the tree in the foreground and several cows graz 
ing in the background, is a most artistic bit. It is valued at 
$1000, and has been hung by the superintendent in a con 
spicuous position on the north wall, whence it is daily seen 
and admired by throngs of interested visitors." 

The editors of the Herald say : 

"A Superb Picture. 

We have rarely seen a^ more striking painting. From 
an artistic standpoint the attention of the- observer is at 
once delighted by the far-reaching perspective, the clear 
middle distance and the fine, strong foreground,- all han 
dled in a broad, masterly way. Aside from this fact, it is es 
pecially gratifying to us because it is a perfect reproduction 
of a familiar and remarkable scene some few miles out from 
our city, on the broad acres of the blue grass farm "Fon 
taine bleau." When on exhibition in the cities Louisville, 
Chicago, Buffalo, Charleston and elsewhere, it excitited 
much interest and many complimentary press notices. We 
are proud to claim the artist as one of Kentucky's gifted 
daughters." 

From the Illustrated Buffalo Express : 
"One of the most interesting pictures on exhibition is 
the Kentucky landscape by Miss Alexander."

 To the Honorable, the Senate and House of 

Representatives of said State, in General Assembly met : 

The undersigned, citizens of Clarke County, respectfully pray the formation of a new county 
out of said county, with the following boundaries, to wit:—Beginning at a point on the Jackson 
County line, immediately above James H. Thompson's mills, and leaving said mills in the new 
county; thence a straight line to the old saw-mill site of Nathaniel L. Barnard, on McNutt's creek; 
thence down said creek to its junction with Barber's creek ; thence down said Barber's creek to its 
junction with the Oconee river—commonly called Middle river; thence down said river to the 
junction of the two Oconee rivers; thence down the Oconee river to Barnett's or Veal's bridge on 
said river; thence along the road leading by Big Creek Church to the Oglethorpe Counij line ; 
thence along the Oglethospe, Greene, Morgan, Walton and Jackson County lines to the beginning ; 
said new county to be called Oconee. 

The great distance at which many of our citizens live from Athens; the unanimous wish of the 
residents within the above boundaries, save four or five, so far as known ; the cheerful acquiescence 
of a very large majority of the white voters and many colored in the section of the county to be 
left as Clarke County—numbering at least 900 whites in the whole, and including colored, near 
fifteen hundred—the peace and harmony to be promoted thereby, induce your Petitioners to hope 
that our most reasonable request will be granted by your Honorable bodies. 

We could assign other good reasons, but only append an extract from the Presentments of the 
Grand Jury of Clarke County, unanimously passed at February Term, 1871, and the copy of Com 
promise between the two committees who were contending for and against the removal of the Coun 
ty site, to which we respectfully call your attention. 

And your Petitioners will ever pray, &c. 


Extract from Presentments of Grand Jury, February Term, 1871. 

" We recommend that the next Legislature of Georgia pass an Act providing for a new county, of which 
Athens shall be the County site."

A nd the other eleven members of the body. 


——Fulton 

It is agreed between the undersigned, that the Bill to o.hange the county site of Clarke County from Wat- 
kinsvi'.lo to Athens, which has passed tht) Senate and is now pending before the House—the same having 
been referred to the committee on Petitions and Memorials of the House, and a majority of said committee 
having reported in its favor—do pass as so reported, and that all opposition be withdrawn. 

The condition of the above agreement is, that E. P. Lnmpkin, A. L. Mitchell and Emory Speer. who are 
advocating at this time before the Legislature the above measure, sign a petition to make a new county, with 
Watkinsville for the county site, and that they use their influence in assisting to have such petition signed by 
ihe people of Athens and its vicinity. 

A further condition is, that the said Lnmpkin, Mitchell and Speer, agree to take all steps in their power to 
delay the sale of the public buildings in Watkinsville until twenty days after the convening of the next session 
of the Legislature now in session, or until the adjournment of said next session, in case it adjourns in less than 
twenty days after its convening. 

A further condition is, that the said Lnmpkin, Mitchell and Speer, in case the said petitioners for a new 
county succeed in the objects of their petition, make no objection to a repealing clause in the Bill by which 
such purpose may be effected, giving to the said new county the public buildings in Watkiusville. It is dis- 
tijHjtly understood, that this agreement is binding only on the said Lnmpkin. Mitchell and Sjoer. but that they 
^u 'good faith shall comply with its provisions. 

T!ie line» of the new county are to be decided upon hereafter.) and do not form in any way a part of this 
agreement.

 SEMI-CENTENARY 


REV. DR. HODGE, 


&• 

. ' 
i/ 


DEAB SIK, — The next academic year in the Theological Seminary at Princeton 
will be the HTTIETH of the Professorate of the Kev. Dr. Hodge. During this period 
nearly 2,500 students have been under his instruction, a large proportion of whom 
still survive and are engaged in the active dt ies of the ministry. His commentaries 
and theological writings have in addition rei dered his name familiar and dear to all 
who love a sound Presbyterianism and an evangelical theology. Such a prolonged 
term of service as a theological instructor, coupled with such distinction and useful 
ness, is without a parallel in the history of American Seminaries, especially when 
to this ieaâôad the signal favour of JWsine^jpvidence toward this Seminary in so 
remarkably lengthening out the lives of its original professors, who enjoyed in so 
eminent a degree the confidence and regard of the churches, Dr. Alexander having 

continued in office forty years, and Dr. Miller thirty-eight years. 

« 

The Board of Directors feeling that this St mi-Centenary anniversary should not be 
allowed to pass without appropriate notice S d grateful commemoration, and acting 
in compliance with what they believed woulcj be the unanimous desire of the friends 
and former students of the seminary, passed the following resolutions at their recent 
meeting in Princeton, April 25th, 1871. 

Whereas, the Kev. Charles Hodge, D.D., will complete next spring, should his life 
be spared, the fiftieth year of his connection with the Seminary as one of its profes 
sors, and, 

Whereas, such an event will afford a fitäng occasion for the creation of some 
memorial of his long, faithful and useful professorial labors, therefore, 


 Resolved, That a meeting of the Alumni and friends of the Seminary be called to 
meet at Princeton, on the day subsequent to the next annual meeting of the Board 
of Directors in commemoration of this event. 

Resolved, further, that, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, it is expedient 
that an Alumni Association be formed on the occasion above referred to, consisting 
of all ministers who have been for any length of time connected with the Seminary as 
theological students. 

Resolved, that a Committee of seven be appointed to devise and carry into effect 
measures for establishing a suitable memorial of the eminent Professorial services 
of the Rev. Charles Hodge, D.D. 

The undersigned Committee appointeijl under the above resolutions cordially invite 
you 'to be présent $t Princeton, on ttu occasion therein referred to, Wednesday, 


April 24th, 1872, and will be pleased 
invitation. 

A Committee of the Alumni lias be^-i 
ing the resolutions of the Directors iul 

The particular arrangements for t 
hereafter in (lie public prints.

OF THJE 


i. 

To-day we meet— 
To-day we greet 

Our loved old Alma Mater : 
A broken band, 
Yet hand in hand, 

Clasped round o,ur. Alma Mater. 
Midst wreck of years, 
Midst Memory's tears, 

Survives our Alma Mater ; 
Ah ! days of yore, 
Would be no more, 

If dead were Alma Mater. 

II. 

Tliaiik God, she lives— 
Thank God, she gives 

Her heart to Georgia rising ; 
Rears up her yonth 
Heroes of Truth, 

Her bow in strength abiding. 
Oh that her life, 
Aloof from strife, 

May breathe but inspiration, 
And keep abreast 
With all that's best 

In her sublime vocation ! 


III. 

Mid growing years, 

Have thou no fears 
Lest time thy brow should sadden ;, 

For future hours 

Shall bring fair flowers 
That honored brow to gladden. 

There's, not a trace 

Which touched thy face, 
When Beauty decked thy morning, 

But lingers still, 

Our hearts to thrill, 
Threescore and ten adorning. 


IV. 

Threescore and Ten ! 

Twelve Hundred Men 
These years enrol their lineage ; 

Each in his heart, 

Of thee, a pajt, 
Exults to wear thine image. 

Thy gray-haired sires 

Nurse yet the fires, 
Which thy breath early kindled ; 

While round thy shrine 

Flow myrrh and wine 
Which younger Priests bave mingled. 

V. 

On sad times cast, 

Old Georgia's past 
Is safe with Alma_ Mater ; 

Her future top 

Shalljyet renew

 AN APPEAL TO THE LUTHEF\AN CHURCH IN 
BEHALF OF HEF^ SoUTHEï\N INSTITUTIONS. 


The time has come when State Institutions and the instructional arrangements of the 
State, are not competent to furnish the Church with educated members, male and 
female, such as the Church must have to mantain her power, her social and intellec 
tual progress, coordinate with a progressive age, which unites the vices and errors 
with superior intelligence and an indomitable activity. All Churches are waking up 
to this emergency, some are displaying an unprecedented energy, in organizing 
schools of both sexes, endowing Colleges, establishing theological Seminaries, in fine, 
making preparation for an intelligent laity and an educated and efficient ministry. 
Small and formerly insignificant denominations are gaining influence and strength 
through their institutions of learning and their liberal contributions to their Church 
enterprises. 

We appeal to our Lutheran brethren and ask in this state of things, shall we as a 
denomination prefer to be in the rear in our liberality and the love of the Church of our 
choice, in these great movementsof the times which circumstances bring about? Shall 
we by our apathy and selfishness determine an inglorious destiny of the Church of 
our Fathers and of the great reformation by Martin Luther, when the field is now,and 
only now, open to us in the whole South? Will we not too secure the means that 
will give us an intelligent membership and an educated and efficient ministry ? Let us 
systematize our plans of Church extension and benevolence, so as to gain an enlarged 
liberality and a uniform and more certain method of operation than we now have. 
Let us patronize our Institutions of learning to the extent, that we may have educa 
ted ministers enough to fill the pastoral vacancies of all our charges and be able, be 
sides to follow up our scattered members, in their settlements in new localities, organ 
ize congregations, found institutions, and meet our obligations as a Church to all our 
people. 

Has not the Lutheran Church a noble history worth perpetuating—has she not a 
pure Christianity, important in the economy of the Kingdom of heaven on earth ? 
Then let us not be recreant to our trust, the trust of our Church, confided to us by our 
ancestry, from which we hope to go to heaven and in which church we wish our 
children to follow us. 

Among other institutions of our Church what can you do for Roanoke College ? 
Can you send us some students by your agency. Can you assist the Church, in her 
synodical actions to get the institution on a secure basis, by way of paying all her 
debts and procuring her endowment? In Virginia besides the State institutions, the 
Methodist people have two colleges, the Presbyterians two institutions, the Baptists 
one, the Episcopalians two aud the Lutherans one. Are you aware how the friends of 
these colleges work for them, in getting students to attend them, and what activity 
they show in securing funds for their sustentation? This is very commendable in 
Christian denominations, but let us follow their example 1 


 EOANOKE COLLEGE has already sent forth many excellent young men into our 
ministry—has educated a large number of our active and intelligent young laymen, 
though her resources have been limited and her struggles under pecuniary embarrass 
ments sometimes precarious ; y et by the proper support of her friends and her appre 
ciation by the Lutheran Church, her future will be a better one. 

Now brethren of the Lutheran Church, as you esteem the future welfare of your 
denomination, do what you can for this only College we have in Va. If you can 
only do a little,withhold not that little. If you have no son or brother of your own, 
send a son of your neighbor's to the institution by your influence. We are not de 
nominational in our class instructions, so that all Churches in Va. patronize us. Our 
course of instruction is a complete and thorough one—our graduates are highly 
esteemed in Theological Seminaries and other professional schools, for their profici 
ency and mental discipline. Help us in some form—do something for us—secure some 
means of endowment either by legacy or annual donation, join in some proposed plan 
for the increase of our library or apparatus for the erection of a building for the 
library and mineral cabinet—do something for the encouragement of Eoanoke College.

 E. MER1QN COULTER 


CONFEDERATE MONUMENT. 


OFFICE OF THE MONUMENTAL 
ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA, 
AUGUSTA, GA., December 4, 1872. 


,1 


For the last time, in behalf of the 
Confederate Monumental Association of 
Georgia, we appeal to the people of our 
State, and of the South, to come to its 
aid. For almost every enterprise that 
may be suggested there will exist sym 
pathies or antipathies iu the minds of 
some. We presume but few feel an an 
tipathy to the objects of the Associa 
tion. Tlieir pure purpose and desire 
are to attract .the sympathies of our 
people to the battle-beds and resting 
places of our lost Confederates, that 
they may unite in the effort to symbol 
ize those sympathies in a common and 
lasting monument of love and gratitude. 
We have heard, with regret, that some 
have spoken of it as a speculation. This 
deserves only a brief notice. Those 
•who would charge the managers 
of this holy enterprise with having 
originated it for such a purpose, care 
nothing for the dead, and are unable to 
»spire to or conceive of the moral gran 
deur of their great deeds and self-im 
molation for their country and people. 
We much more regret to have heard 
that others have doubted its morality, 
because the distribution of the shares 
Trill be made in the only fair and legiti 
mate way—by a public drawing. That 
certainly is not more objectionable than 
to raise money by fairs, tableaux, and 
private theatricals, for moral and reli 
gious purposes. We have never raised 
an objection to those means for securing 
such holy ends. This plan has. been 
adopted as the only practicable one to 
erect a symbol to the memory of patriots. 
'Ihe names of some of the purest di 
vines, and most consistent members 
of the various churches, are upo;; 
our books. We are not seeking to 
light anew the torch of revolution. We 
simply feel that a holy duty rests upon 
ns to honor, in a lasting way, those who 
bravely came forward and sacrificed 
their lives for us at our cull. Our States 
passed their ordinances of secession. 
The right to do this was disputed, and 
our people were called upon to maintain 
what we deemed to be the just rights of 
sovereign States. The struggle was 
based upon this difference of opinion. 
In answer to the calls of their States, our 
chivalric sons drew their swords and 
stood at their guns. The answer was 
prompt, and, in stern array, they rushed 
to the unequal struggle. Their great 
fight is over ; their great hearts are 
pulseless ; they sleep in their lowly 
beds. If ever a people were bound 
in honor to cherish the memory 
of their defenders, the people of 
Georgia and the South are thus bound, 
to say nothing of State pride and kin- 
' dred sympathy. You may say you do 
cherish their fame, but the time is not 
yet. When will it come ? When you 
too are dead and cannot be called upon 
for your mite ? If one dies to save you 


or your liberties, who will be under the- 
greatest obligations of gratitude, you or 
your descendants ? If you shall post 
pone the grateful exhibition, is it likely 
that posterity will make it ? If your 
hearts are already cold and indifferent, 
is it likely that your descendants will be> 
in a glow_ of gratitude ? It is your duty 
to make it now, as an example to the 
young and to those who may take your 
places when, you are gone. 

In this work we expected more of the 
men, and the women, too, of Georgia and 
the South. 

Mr. Lincoln's monument and statue 
at Springfield, Illinois, has just beer* 
completed at a cost of two hundred and! 
six thousand dollars. We do not com 
plain of that. With their sentiments it 
is creditable to these people, and they 
are erecting similar testimonials all over 
their section. They lost their sons, yea 
more than we did, and they are substan 
tially honoring them.' Whatever we may 
think of their assaults upon us, these 
testimonials do them honor. They ex 
hibit gratitude aad affection. If they 
hated us they loved their own, and this- 
is to their credit. A people are judged 
by their acts. What, then, will the Em 
pire State of the South do for the dead 
of her hundred battle-worn regiments ? 
What the other States for their sous 
who sleep in Georgia soil ? What all 
our people for a symbol that will repre 
sent the entire Confederate dead ? 

Patriots of the South ! true and cour 
ageous women ! come to the graves of 
your sons—throng around their valiant 
spirits, and solemnly aver that you will 
contribute to honor them. Let there 
be no dull, deep pause ; come quietly. 
The first of January will soon be here, 
and the effortwillbe ended on the eighth. 
We are glad to learn that the delay wntil 
then has given but little dissatisfaction. 
This shows that our people have con 
tributed more from patriotic sentiment 
thnu the hope of gain. Hush the cry of 
poverty. Circuses, menageries, and va 
ried shows are taking hundreds of thou 
sands of dollars from the pockets of our 
people. We would deny to none the 
gratifications of the hour, but the "horse 
opera," the "clown," nud other attrac 
tions should not bJot from memery the 
martyrs of freedom. 

Let us go to the graves of the gallant 
dead and say to them : " My father ! 
my brother ! my son ! rest in peace, I 
love you still. " Gentlemen of wealth, 
those hoarded sums doubtless give pleas 
ure to your hearts; but Iwve you taken a 
pittance to add your tribute to grateful 
patriotism ? Ladies ! the light of those 
brilliant diamonds upon your fingers 
indicate opulence a\\d comfort; but are 
you represented at the shrine of those 
who died to protect you ? The holidays 
are close at hand ; how many thousands 
will present a Christmas offering or a 
New Year's present in honor of the illus 
trious dead ? L. & A. H. McLAws, 
General Agents.

 DIRECTIONS for PLANTING FRUIT TREES. 

The following is the most approved method : Dig the holes» 
two and p half or three feet each away, and eighteen inches 
deep ; fill with rich top soil and plant the tree in the centre, 
not deeper than it stood before in the nursery, with the ex 
ception of Dwarf Pears aed Cherries. They should be plan 
ted KG that the connection of bud and stock is well covered 
- 4wo inches at least. 

Before planting, the tree should be prepared as follow,« : 
Remove all the broken roots—freshen the end by a clean cut. 
As a, general rule the main stock should be cut back to two 
thirds its length, and all the branches to half their length 
from the main stock. Eat ray experience is, that to break 
the land first with a turn plow, then follow with a subsoil 1'£ 
to 15 inches deep, requires no hole only to receive the roots» 
If it is not convenient to plow.and subsoil the land all over 
before planting, run say four furrows each way and plant in 
the check, and plow out the middles afterwards. While it i.s.: 
highly important to plant trees right, it is equally important 
to cultivate properly. Young trees should be cultivated the 
same as corn if a full crop is expected. Always keep an 
orchard well ploughed and a little manure scattered broadcast 
around each tree every year. Never sow small grain or grass 
of any kind in an orchard, especially a young orchard. 

Another important matter is to take care of your orchard. 
From observation I have concluded that not more than SO per 
cent of fruit treer planted ever live to bear fruit. Cows 
browse them down, rabbits girdle them, they are broken or 
the bark rubbed ofi' by careless ploughmen, until fully 6f> 
per cent of the number planted are dead or so diseased that 
they are worthless before they bear fruit. 

DISTANCES ^ OR PLANTING. 

Apples 20 to 25 feet each way, according to soil. 

Peaches 15 to 20 " " " " " 

Dwarf Pears 8 to 10 feet eoch way, according to soil. 

Plums 10 to 15 feet each way, according to soil. 

Cherries 15 to 20 feet each wny, according to soil.

MOREIS stood for an hour at the counter of witness' in his store^ and 
had taken three drinks and commenced singing and talking wliich 
caused him to cough and vomet. Defendant cursed him and said 
"God d—n you, if you want to puke, go out of the house;" took hold 
of him and tried to push him out of the door, when deceased caught 
hold of the dqor and said, "uot exactly yet." Defendant drew a large 
Spanish dirk, and struck deceased on the shoulder; deceased asked

out his knife and dropped it on the floor; defendant stooped down 
and picked up the knife ; defendant then drew a six barrelled revol

saw defendant before that - day ; defendant had no authority in that 
house; deceased was quite drunk; defendant was drinking, but not 
drunk; pistol was self-cocking. Defendant stooped down, and.as, wit 
ness heard a rattling on the floor, and did not see the knife afterwards, 
lie supposed that defendant picked it up ; defendant rose with a six 
barrelled pistol in his hand, presented it at the breast of deceased, not 
more th^n six inches distant—'-toiA deliberate aim long enough to 
count ten or fifteen before he fired ; TK; -ired f&e pistol above the right 
nipple; defendant ran out and Was caught about fifty yards from 
the house of witness ; deceased brought a groan—his face contracted 
—fell upon the floor, and in about five minutes- expired.. Witness had 
refused.Jo cgme to court under subf»œna and was brought:.by arrest 
under attachment. : '• 

Defendant's Evidence. 

BENjAmiN HOETON sworn, testified, that he was present at the time 
of the killing ; defendant had no difficulty with the deceased ; defend 
ant and witness were talking together, and defendant was flourishing 
his pistol about, when it fired, defendant was then looking at witness 
and appeared alarmed when the pistol fired; defendant was drunk ; 
the pistol belonged to witness, who loaned it to defendant the evening 
before;,the pistol was very easy on trigger; defendant and deceased 
'•were not acquainted. 

THOMAS GILBEET sworn, testified,' that he was some thirty or1 forty 
yards from the house when the pistol fired; defendant ran out to 
where witness was standing ; seemed to be drunk and very much agi 
tated ; not over two minutes, elapsed from the firing, before defendant 
;'*eached ^fitness and said "that he"'would not-have done" it'%f"the 
.-world." ' •-••'. 

BENJAMIN HOETON re-examined, testified, that the moment the 
pistol fired, defendant asked witness' " if he had killed him ;" witness 
said that he did not know ; defendant said, he would not have done it 
for the world, if he had.. 

JOB C. PATTEBSON sworn for the State,- testified that HOETON was 
mistaken in some of the minutise of his testimony. THOMAS GILBERT 
stated in his testimony that upon hearing the report of the pistol, he 
looked towards the house arid saw a person that he took to be the de 
fendant run out—who ran a few paçep aud turned and ran again into 
the house, and immediately ran out'again, aiid ran "to where witness 
was, standing ; he ran slow and awkward, which induced Witness to 
suppose he was very drunk ; when he came to witness, he seemed 
greatly agitated and troubled, and at the moment of coming up to 
him, he exclaimed, "that he would not have done it ^for the world." 
Witness also stated that one minute would probably cover the time 
from the firing until the defendant uttered the exclamation ; two cer 
tainly would.

 ROOMS REPUBLICAN STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, 


An imperative necessity exists for voluntary contributions from the United States office 
holders iu Georgia. Yon will remember that at the last meeting of our STATE CENTRAL COMMITTEE, (Aug. 21,) 
a Finance Committee was appointed. The Chairman of that Committee called a meeting of the same that 
afternoon, but there was no quorum present. As the members thereof failed to meet when they were all in this 
city, and as they are now scattered throughout the State, there will probably be no meeting of the Committee, 
and I will therefore consider myself without the aid of a Finance Committee. 

You will also remember that the Slate Central Committee at the same time appointed a Resident Committee 
to perform certain duties. That Committee has discharged its duty up to the present energetically and faithfully- 
We have rented suitable rooms, hired three efficient clerks and one porter, have printed here in Atlanta over one 
hundred and thirty thousand documents, and have distributed them, have received from the Committee at 
Washington about fifty thousand documents and distributed them, have observed the strictest economy through 
out, and have vouchers for every cent expended opeu to the inspection of all contributors. 

The expenses of the Party have thus far been defrayed by the liberal contributions of three or four gentle 
men ;n Atlanta, with a few small contributions from other parties. Of all moneys received aud expended, the 
sum of one hundred and eighty-five dollars is all which has been contributed by persons living away from At 
lanta. From all the Revenue Officers in this State less thau fifty dollars have been received, iu the aggregate. 1 
attribute all this to the want of a proper effort to raise money, and as I have been instructed by the State. Cen 
tral dbmmiitee to call upon each and every persou holding Federal office within the State to aid in upholding 
our Party, I now adopt this method of discharging my duty. HON. JAS. L. DUNNING, Postmaster at Atlanta, 
is the Treasurer of the Committee, and all contributions should be made directly to him. His book will show 
at the end of the campaign every dollar received, from whom received, how and for wh:it expeuded. His book 
will show at the end of the campaign who aided the Party—and who did not. His book will show at the end of 
the campaign who are the active, earnest, working Republicans in Georgia—and who are the drones. His book 
will show who can be relied on by the Party—and who can not be relied on. All political parties which ever 
held sway owed their success to those who worked and contributed to that success. 

I make no assessment upon any one, but send this appeal for help to all. If you are willing to help, send 
your contribution by Post-Office Money Order to JAME& L. DUNNING, TEEASÜKEK. 

It is proper I should add in conclusion, that appeals have been made to the Committee at Washington and 
New York for aid, and they respond that they cannot send one dollar to Georgia. Their reasons assigned are 
good—perfectly good—and we must rely upon our own resources. 

Please respond without delay, and let us know what to expect. 

Very Respectfully, 

HENRY P. FARROW, 

Chairman Republican State Central Committee 


 HHW$ 


To HON. JOHN S. BIGBY, M. C.. and 
HON. JAMES C. FREEMAN, M. C, elect. . 

GENTLEMEN : — I have no disposition to make any fight on Mr. Jesse A. Holtzclaw, of Houston 
county, and Second Collection District of Georgia ; but I must raise my voice in behalf of the Republicans of 
the Fourth Co lection District, by way of protest, against a violation of party policy, every principle of justice, 
and the Statutes of Congress, by the appointment of a resident of the Second Collection District to office in the 
Fourth Collection District. 

By reference to the law creating the office of Collector, (see vol. I2th, Statutes at large, page 433,) you will 
see that this appointment of Collector for the Fourth Collection District of Georgia must be given to a resident 
of the District, and that Mr. Holtzclaw, being, a resident of the Second Collection District and not a resident of 
Fourth Collection District, is ineligible to the appointment. This Statute is founded on common sense and 
common justice. Common sense and common justice must guide and control the conduct of an individual in 
his privatae ffairs, or he will, sooner or later, come to grief. The same is equally true of the conduct of the 
affairs of a political party. It was the palpable disregard of plain, even-handed justice that so completely broke 
down our partyin Georgia in the past. We are now attempting to organize, harmonize, and build up our party> 
and we are meeting with remarkable success. If the Republicans of Georgia were assured of anything in the 
recent campaign, it was that justice should hereafter prevail in all appointments, by selecting and appointing men to 
office from the body of the District or vicinity in zvhich the vacancies occur. 

The campaign having been conducted upon that principle, and having been successful beyond the expecta 
tions of many of our friends, we having elected three Congressmen, when many supposed we could not elect any, 
the very first appointment arising, is made in violation of our promises to our party, and in violation of the plain 
words of the Statute creating the office. There are men in the Fourth District who have spent their time, their 
energies, and their money, and who have undergone every kind of political, Social, and business ostracism 
and proscription, because of their active and unswerving support of the principles of our party, and now that 
a vacancy in office occurs in their midst, and an appointment is made, they are all to be discarded, and a 
resident of the Second Collection District, away down in South-west Georgia, a remote portion of the State, 
is to be appointed, when every principle of justice, as well as the plain provisions of the Statute, require . 
the appointment of a resident of the Fourth Collection District. Are there no true and tried Republicans 
in the Fourth District who are worthy and well qualified ? I have had no sympathy with the hue-and- 
cry against " carpet-baggers," but I have always believed that appointments to office should be given to per 
sons residing, in the vicinity or District in which the vacancy occurs. It should be definitely understood and 
agreed upon that when a vacancy occurs in any vicinity or District the appointment to fill said office should be 
conferred upon some one who has borne the brunt of our party in that vicinity or District. 

I regard the appointment of a resident of the Second Collection District to office in the Fourth Collection 
District a grave error, which can be but productive of evil to our party, but, at the same time, I attribute it to 
inadvertence on the part of those who have caused it to be done. Believing it to be an error, I respectfully call 
it to your attention and ask, in the name of justice, and for the good of our party, that you inform the Honorable 
the Commissioner of Internal Revenue that Mr. Jesse A. Holtzclaw is not a resident of the Fourth Collection 
District, and that it is the wish of those who recommended his appointment that his name should be withdrawn, 
with a view to the appointment of a resident of the District, in conformity with the law in the premises. 

As Chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, I feel impelled by a sense of duty to protest 
against such a policy in this or any other case, in this or any other portion of the State, for all that I urge in 
this case would be urged in any similar case anywhere in this State, as I am only contending for a principle 
without the observance of which we can not hope to build up a party. I am sure that in so doing I represent 
the feelings and wishes of the entire masses of the Republicans throughout the State. 
• I am, very respectfully, 

HENRY P. FARROW, 

Chairman Republican State Central Committee.

 THE TAX QUESTION SETTLED. 


EVERY CITIZEN HAS THE RIGHT TO PAY HIS ONE DOLLAR 

AND VOTE ! 


Rooms RepiTtolican State Central Cornrnittee, 

ATLANTA, GA., SEPTEMBEE 23, 1872. 

The Honorable MADISON BELL, Comptroller General, has issued the following instructions to all Tax 
Collectors in the State, to wit— 

CIRCULAR TO TAX COLLECTORS. 

COMPTROLLER GENERAL'S OFFICE, 

ATLANTA, GA., September 21,1872. 

I have received a number of letters from Collectors, Ordinaries and citizens, on the snbject of Poll Tax of 1871 ; and, as I 
cannot answer all by letter, I have deemed it proper to send to those making inquiries on this subject, the following decisions made 
by me in response to a letter from the Collector of Chatham cottoty, on the 16th instant. 

As to deciding who can, or cannot, vote in the approaching elections, I deem it proper to state, also, that it is not my duty, or 
in my power, or the Collectors', to determine that question. That duty devolves upon other officers charged by law with supervi 
sory control of that subject ; and I only intend, in this circular, to instruct the Collectors in regard to the collection of the taxes, as 
I understand the law in the premises : 

SIK :—I have to say in reply to yours of the 12th instant, that the Poll Tax cannot ' exceed one dollar annually on each poll ;' 
and you should receive the Poll Tax for 1871, and receipt accordingly, notwithstanding the tax-payer may be in arrears for former 
years. When a tax payer has made his return to the Receiver, and fails to pay the money to the Collector, he is a delinquent, and is 
chargeable only with a single tax and cost, in case nfl.fa. has been issued ; when no return has been made to the Receiver, he is a 
defaulter, and is, in such .case, chargeable, in addition to the tax, with the penalty of one dollar : and, if &ß.fa. has been issued, with 
the cost also. The above are lawful charges against delinquents and defaulters, and it is your duty to collect them accordingly. If 
a tax-payer choses to tender the tax for 1871 separate from the penalty and cost, you should receive it, and give a receipt accordingly ; so 
•worded, furwe-ver, as netto bar tht collection of Iht penalty and cost. Citizens ought to have the means of showing that they have paid 
this tax, if they so desire." " Respectfully, 

MADISON BELL, Comptroller General 

The Comptroller General being the officer whose duty it is under the Law to make all rules and regulations, 
and issue all instructions for the guidance of Tax Collectors in their official conduct, and he having issued the 
above instructions, I deem it important that the people be informed that they can pay the one dollar tax for 
1871, and get a receipt for it, without being required to pay the one dollar penalty, or any other cost whatever, 
aud I therefore have prepared this Circular for general distribution throughout the State. Having given this 
question a very careful and thorough investigation, I feel assured the Comptroller General is correct in this 
authoritative interpretation of the Law, and all parties at interest are advised to take due notice thereof and 
govern themselves accordingly. Tax Collectors cannot absolve themselves from their responsibilities under the 
United States Laws by replying to a citizen who seeks to qualify himself to vote by paying the one dollar tax for 
1871, that he, (the Tax Collector,) " has issued a Fi. Fa., and given it to the Sheriff, and he (the tax-payer) must 
see the Sheriff." In that case, either the Tax Collector or the Sheriff, as the case may be, when offered the one 
dollar, must receive it and give a receipt for it. 

Let all who love Liberty come forward and pay the one dollar tax, and then on the 2d of October vote for 
DAWSON A. WALKEE for Governor, and the Kepnblicau candidates for the Legislature. 

HENRY P. FARROW, 

Chairman Republican State Central Committee.
