The Superintendent of the New Jersey
Southern Railroad has issued the following
order: "Employes of this company are
prohibited the use of smoking tobacco, in
any ofits forms, while on duty. It's use
is hindrance to, and inconsistent with,
the duties of all employees, while to such as
come in contact with the travelling public,
the order has additional force from the
fact that to so many of the latter tobacco
in any form is offensive"

the penitentiary for life. KinbaIl is to
run the State Government until a new
Governor can be elected. The Com

money there is left in the Treasury-so
that there will be no need Of successor
to Angler. Blodgett is to be chained
hand and foot for a thousand years, if
he can be caught; and Fatty Harris
goes to Glenn & Wright's phosphate
works at the Fair Grounds. The Com

than anybody else. They would have
sent him to the penitentiary, but Mr..
Alexander, the convict contractor, swore
he wouldn't have him on any terms

DYING IN THEIR BOOTS.

Tho New Orleans papers notice the
killing of Theodore Byrd son of
younger brother of Orren and John,
sons of John J. Byrd, originally of
Charleston, S. c., but for many years a
resident of Augusta, Georgia. John J..
Byrd, the father of the three boys was
of nervous and cxcitablc disposition,
but filled a position in one of the Banks
with satisfaction and the family was re-
garded as highly respectable.
John and Orrcn, the elder sons, were
nice boys, even at twelve and ten years,
(when VIC knew them) refined in appear
ance, manners and department; but
sometimes the merest triAcs wreck the
happiness of individuals and nations.
The boys were taught at this early age
familiarity with "daggcr and pistol" and
that to wear them was manly, and being
of the highly nervous temperament of
the father, the result has been that John,
naturally kind and noble fellow, was
convicted of murder, upon killing his
second man, and died in prison by his
own hand. Orren, offeminate, elegant
and fearless, was killed at a saloon in
New Orleans. Tho younger brother
was similarly killed in Louisiana and
now his son is likewise slain. Is there
no lesson in all this Will you train
your sons for peace or war?

THE VERMONT DEMOCRACY.

The Vermont Democrats held their
State Convention last Friday, and re-
nominated their ticket of last year as
follows;
For Governor, Ii. w. Heaton of Mont
pelier; for Lieutenant Governor, Murillo
Noycs, of Burlington for Treasurer,
J. NJ. Weeks, of Lyndon. II. B. Smith,
of Milton, was reelected Chairman OF
the State Committee.
The following were the resolutions
adopted:
ReSolUed. That the Democrats of Yer
mont recognize tho Constitution of the
United States as the supreme law from
which the Federal government derives
its authority that the rights and powers
not herein delegated to the general gov
crnment belong to the State, and all at
tempts to usurp, override or impose
conditions upon the several States with
out constitutional authority, are unjust,
oppressive and subversive of the rights
Of the people.
ResOlUed, That the persistent and re-
pcated violations of the constitution and
constitutional laws by the Radical party
since that party has had control of the
general government, meri: the condem-
nation of all good citizens, and has once,
aud shall receive the continued and de-
termincd opposition of tho Democratic
party.
Resolved, That tho proAigacy and cor
ruption which has entered into all the
official stations of the Federal govern
ment, the favoritism that has appointed
to positions of public trust tho partisans
or tools of those who control the public
patronage, should be denounced by all
true friends of tho Union.
ResOlped, That we still have faith in
the wisdom and integrity of the people,
and that ultimately they will rise in their
majesty and strength and hurl from pow
or our present corrupt rulers, and restore
the government to its original purity.

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE.

The Constitution fears that Bullock
may prevent, through an organized. Mil
tia, an election next Fall. He is doubt
less daring and corrupt man; but he
will hardly venture to disturb by force
the peaceable voting of the people in
accordance with the Constitution and
laws of the State. If he insists that the
present Legislature is the rightful one
tie issue will be one for Congress to de-
eide not Mr.. Bullock.

TIE MEANING OF THE GEORGIA
BILL

Here is what the leading New York
papers say about it. The Herald says
editorially:
"Thc new bill simply provides that
Georgia having complied with the recon-
struction acts of Congress and rati-
fed tho Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Amendments to the Constitution, is de-
clared entitled to representation in Con-
gress it is also provided that the peo-
pie of Georgia have the right to elect
members of the General Assembly as
provided for in the State Constitution.
The effect of this bill is most unfavora-
bic to the Bullock interest, and will frus-
trate all the deep laid schemes to con-
tinue himself and his black -and-tan leg
islators in office in defiance Of the will
Of the people"
The Tribune says editoriaIly:
"The House has now passed bill in
which the Bingham Amendment, some
what modified, and leaving the election
of a new Legislature to be settled ac-
cording to the existing State Constitution
is revived in shape to which we trust
the Senate will find no objection. Let us
have the bill passed, and an end brought
to this troublesome question:, and the
present very Objectionable administra-
ton OF the Georgia State Government"

LIFE IN THE OLD LAND YET"

Who would have looked for it in Yer
mont, where forty years ago the "war
of ideas" commenced, destroying at once
the obligations of the Federal compact
and the rights of the States And, yet,
after "thc bloodiest page in the book of
time" has been written, tho Democracy
of Vermont raises its voice in behalf of
the rights of the States and of the Con-
stitution. We arc afraid wc will have
to say, as the Atlanta Imtelhgencer said
to us, when in 1860, VIC urged the good
people of the South to assemble and PRAY
that the calamity of secession might be
averted from us-"Too late to Pray"
But we thought then as we think now,
that "it is never too late TODD good" and
perhaps the Green Mountain boys may
do something yet for the restoration of
liberty. See resolutions in another col
umn.

PURITANIsM.

The Era accuses us of making war
on the Puritans and insists that with all
their faults there has been some good in
them. Very well! May the good they
have done live after them and the evil
they are capable of doing be speedily
buried with their bones. We struggle
Ia life TO overcome all sorts of material
evil; we war necessarily for the sup
preston Of the causes of physical dis
case the history of civilization has
been war against social disorder, and We
naturally feel dctestation for class of
people, who, obstinate in the narrow
provincialism which distinguished, the
hurley of Sir Walter Scott, the Bare
bones Parliament, the Regicides lying
around New Haven, Cotton Mathcr, who
proposed TO kidnap William Penn. Sum
ncr and Butler, and who, never content
in the enjoyment of their own rights,
must be perpetd4y at war with all
other socialisms. 1t is said the Puritans
are dying out; that in New England
they are getting tired of the duties of
life. We trust that, as one of the mys-
FERROUS dispcnsations of Providence de-
sighed for wise purposes, their. evil spir-
it has served its purpose.

POLITICAL CORRUPTION.

The most extraordinary proclamation
in political annals. appeared i'll the At
lanta papers yesterday, signed Ply Ru-
fus b. Bullock, who is certified to be
mot Professional Gocernor) but GOaer-
nor of Georgia, by X. II. Atkinson, Sec
rotary of the Executive Department.
This proclamation bears date juno 9th.
and the body of the document reads as
follows:
To all whom it may concern-Greettng:
WHEREAS, Varney A. Gaskill, of the
county of Fulton, State of Georgia, did,
in or about the month of December, A
d.; 1869, directly give Railroad bonds
and money unto Nedom L. Angler, Treas
urcr, and officer of this State, as a bribe
to influence the behavior of the said Ne
dom l.. Angler, as Treasurer:
WHEREAS, The said Varncy A. Cas-
kill has freely, fully and frankly testified
to all his acts and doings in that regard,
to the end, that the truth might be made
public and the ends of justice accom-
plished
WHEREAS, the said Varnoy A. Gas
kill, believing himself in danger of pros
ccution, has made petition for Exccu-
tive pardon for violation of law as above
recitcd:
Now therefore, | do hereby fully and
freely pardon the said Varney A. Gas
kill of any and all violation of law, which
he be guilty of in connection with, and
which may have arisen out of, or be
based upon, the transaction here before
recited and hereby relieve, and for
ever discharge, him from all the pains
and penalties thereof.
That certainly may be called start
ling performance. 1t opens the seventh
seal of fraud and malversation, and lets
speculation loose to range the loathsomc
chambers of political and personal cor
ruption for the reasons eff such publ
cation. Governor Bullock and Treas
urer Angler are each pursuing the other
before committee OF investigation, So
callcd), each charging the other with
the blacklist crimes against official in
tcgrity. All at once Varney Gaskill-
a man "cvery thing by turns and moth
lug long" and bosom friend of Treas
urer Angier-turns up and voluntarily
inculpates himself of fraud and bribery,
and consents to put himself before the
public, in an Executive proclamation, as
a self-confesscd felon, in order to convic:
Angler as particepS criminiS.
On the other hand Gov. Bullock re-
wards GaskilI's treachery to his friend
and his voluntary forfeiture of fame and
reputation by condoning the crime and
violating all sound and safe precedent by
pardoning in advance of trial and con-
viction. Is that the extent of the re-
ward
Thus purged of the consequences of
his confessed crime, the plan lis to use.
Gaskill as killing witness against
Angler; but we do not hesitate to say
that such state of facts demands rigid
investigation into the question whether
they do not amount to subornation of
pergury on the part of Gov. Bullock.

TIE GREAT VEGETABLE BLOOI
MEDICINE.

Cherokee Indian Bittcrs possess an
energy which seems to communicate
new life to the system, and renovatc
the feeble, faintinS powers of nature.
Its operation upon the tissues of the
body, does not consist in affecting tho
irritability of the living fiber, but in i'm
parting sound and healthy stimulus to
the vital organs. 1t strengthens sub
stantislly and durably, the living power
of the animal machine; is entirely in
noccnt and harmless; may be admins
tered with IMMUNITY to both sexes, and
all ages and conditions of life. There
is no disease of any name or nature,
whether of young or old, male or female,
but that it is proper to administer it,
and if it be done seasonably and persc-
veringly, it will have a good effect. 1t
is perfectly incredible to those unac-
quainted with the Cherokee Indian Bit
lcrs, the facility with which healthy
action is often in the worst cases restor-
ed to the exhausted organs of the sys-
tenn with degree of animation and
desire for food, which is perfectly as
tonishing to all who perceive it. This
medicine puriHes the blood, restores tho
tonic powers of the tibers, and of the
stomach and digestive organs rouses
the animal spirits, and substantially for
titles and teammates the broken down
constitutions of mankind.
