The name of tbe nnbappy man is Samnal

He boarded with Dr. John M. Johnson's

A WU SKETCH 01 TH* DXC1ASED.
Mr. Anderson was bora, iqi Kentucky,

Hi* pnblio life may be summarised t* fol
lows : His first pnblio offie* wm tbkl of
Sheriff of Richmond county, which be
held a greet array years ago. Subse
quently he contracted an intimacy with
Governor George W. Crawford, 1 of Geor
gia, and mas bis private sisrwtasy during
bti entire tram of offioc—(wrjMWra. Af
terwards, whan Gojaraor Crawford be-
oeme Secretary of War under President
Taylor, Mr. Andorran aeeotnphnied him
lo Washington,And wee appointed chief
■eoretary. Upon M}* resignation
of Governor ' Crawford, ' Anderson

bald that important position to* four
yaar*. After the war, he resided io New

OounonoH.— A note from Col. D. 8.
Johnston, of Madison, Ga., direota onr
attantion to an error in onr late artiole
concerning tba emigrants from Allagany
°oonty, N. Y., who have settled in Geor
gia. Tha artiole, as printed, looaled them
in Madison county, whereas their plaoa of
settlement is in the neighborhood of the
town of Madison in Morgan oonnty. Wa
think that wa ao wrote It; and that tha
mistake was not out*.
Taa town election in Lumpkin, Stewart
county, on Saturday before last, was
warmly ooutested so far as tha Maiahal-
ahip was concerned, for which offloe
Messrs. M. J. Jenkins end John Yar
brough were contestants. Mr. Jenkins
wm elected by a majority of 57. Tha
other officers elected ware: C. J. Tnokar,
Esq., as Mayor, and Messrs. C. M. Lows,
H. A. Boynton, U. T. Gregory, J. B.
Carson, and J. L. Wimberly, as Aider-
Ton people of Viokeburg have lent
Crosby to Governor Ames, than disprov
Ing lha Governor'* assertion that they
war* tba party of violenoe and sought to
wreak their vengeance upon the negroes.
Their release of tha chief instigator of
all the trouble goes to confirm tbsir claim
that they acted ou the defensive through
out, it it needed any other proof than tha
fact that th* nagrom killed war* not resi
dents of Vicksburg, but those who
marched upon the oity from other local!
tlss with arms in thair hands.
Tna Chicago Timet gives an aeeount
of lb* failure of a State Granger grain
firm in that oity, censed by the alleged
embeulemsnt of Its chief member, who
was also publisher of the I'rarie Farmer,
through the Inflnonoe of which tha firm's
appointment would appear to hava been
mowed. The disappearance of this
partner, it is said, leaves the firm bank
rupt, and the banks of Chicago, as well
as its easterners in the interior, are oat
some §10,000 or §50,000, so far as re
ported, and many more oreditort are ex
pected to turn np, as monay is understood
to have been obtained upon forged ware
house certificates.
Wa notion that a oompany bra bran
formed in Atlanta for tba erection of •
oottoo oom preen. Snob praises are not
usual In Intmtor towns, bat th*r* nr* vary
apparent reasons for thair establishment
in all towns possessing a large and perma
nent cotton trad*. Tbs faoilttlra which
they afford for tba handling end shipment
of cotton to lira ■onboard, as wall as stor
ing it in tbs warehouses, are worthy of
consideration. Compressed oottoo moat
also ba Ism ' lipbl* to destruction by fir*
than ootton loosely packed, end it la rea
sonable to suppose that Insurance, It not
freight, would be isos on this account.
It has bora only far thres or four seasons
that' Atlanta has rwesivad ray constdsrsbls
amount of ootton, and bar reosipta bavs
never yet sqmlltd those of Colombo*,
tbongh they may do so this season. Her
enterprising and sagacious business man
as* the advantage of securing every facil
ity to enable them to retain and enlarge
this new trade, and they resolve to have a
ootton compress as on* of thorn. Wa
hope that onr Columbus ootton man will
give this aubjaot their consideration, and
ascertain whether machinery for oomprea-
aing ootton oould not be srooted here with
advantage to oar trade in the grant staple
of the Booth.
Hon. Alex. White, one of the Badiekl
Congressman from Alabama defeated for
ton, has iatradnoed in tha Honse
a bill providing that a qualified voter in
any Southern Stats shall have th* priv
ilege of voting at any praoinot in the
State whioh be may obooaa I Th* objeot
of this bill is to open the way for fnnil*
even wider than it is now opened. It
aim* to prevent th* Legislatures of the
Southern States passing laws to require
each man to rot* in hit own preoinet-i-n
provision proven by past experieno* to b*
necessary for the prevention of froods
and th* avoidance of conflicts at the
polls. Both of these evil* attendant
upon onr Southern elections are do*
the praotioe of massing
tlie voters at two or three
and often at only one voting plaoe in a
oonnty—* devioe of the carpet-baggers to
facilitate fraudulent voting and to bring
on oonfliots of room when they thiDk that
the interest* of thair party require theta
For th* sake of pesos and fair dealing, |w*
hop* that White’* bill will be defeated,
and that additional safeguards for tha pur
ity of tha taltot-box will b* provided, in
stead of opening tbe way for still greater
fraud*.

Anderaoa, it seems, bad iqraygad to
accumulate no money during his official
career, and three or four, .months, ago he
was out of employment and oat of money.
At this time Gen. Robert Toombs wa*
bun poshing his fames* rail* against the
Mitohkll heirs, and Also th* tails recently
tried against th* railroads nnder tba tax
taw of 1874. Finding Andssaon nnasn-
ployad, Ml Toombs hired him to assist
in fixing np papers afid hiw mtfioritio* ib
those oases, at a stated salary of §125 per
'iusja^rsrwusa
nahappy mu'* suicide. It seems
that some months (go Anderson drew
upon General Toombe for bis first half
mouth's salary. Tha draft wa* mat End
paid. Sabsqqnsntba drsw Ihrongh^Mr.

To Drt. Miner and Joknton:
Alhort lydasy Johnston's Sister.
The Pnduoah Kentuckian says: Miss
Clarrisa* Johnston, sister of tha late Gen.
Albert Sydney Johnston, is quite old and
infirm, and has bean assisted many times
in th* last few years by the Confederate
Belief Association and the oharitable la-
disauf Faduosb. A few days ago she was
stricken by paralysis, and is now helpless
and speechless, and in want. W* under
stand that aba is related lo ths wealthy
family of the Bstierflelds, in LoolavlUe,
and that ah* baa influential connections
iu tbe middle aud upper portions of this
State. If any of our reader* iu Padueah,
or on! of it, desir* to contribute to a real
ly worthy objeot of ability, they oa* do
so by trading money for Miss Johnston
to this offie, or to Mr. Obariee Bicke, and
it will ba properly applied.

Radical majority of the Board with a
fixed determination to sustain ether
fraud* whioh will give them a majority in
the Legislature. It was generally ex-

Te Ikr. J. if. johnton—Dear Sir:
Thoughtfully, evsb ohsutfjitiy, I obey
th* item flat of irresistible circumstances,
without discussion and without murmur.
My remarkable vigor and acknowledged
rapacities sum utterly unavoidable for
ordinary purposes. Ba it ao.
I have much to be thankful for to your-
self aad othmr personal friends, and (eel
no enmity or hatred against any man. I
hope Toombs Wfikao far riadieato himself
u to protect Jerry Lynch from the coupe-
quenoee of nprotett, which oould not have
beau snllolpkted.' To-rubfrow morning I
intend te place fhe tattfid* i>f my pistol in
my mouth and pull the trigger. I thus
bluully state my intention , in order io
avoid, if possible, ■ “coroner's inquest”
or legal investigation. I shall dress my.
ulf, after bathing u usual, in a suit of
old elothaa, good enough, I opine, for the
purpoee in view. My Better olothee will
be of m to my son. I hope to bs buried
ul telh *
You will find in my table drawer farther i
communications apd Tsquesls.
I auetou fifty odd dollar* to go towards
funeral rapnuiuAud to sxprsae my trunk j
