The name of tbe nnbappy man is Samnal iiss^ssrtearass of th* Hillyar bultdlug.ow Alahnmn street. He boarded with Dr. John M. Johnson's family on Marietta street. A WU SKETCH 01 TH* DXC1ASED. Mr. Anderson was bora, iqi Kentucky, end was shoot aiitjr-two yean of sge. 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 became Seoretsry of War, ad interim, and served in that office until ■uperoeded by General. Winfield Soott. Ha was than elected chief olark of tba natiraol Romas of Bepfianralalives and bald that important position to* four yaar*. After the war, he resided io New York, where h* wa* Chtaf D*pw«r Sheriff of that county under John Kelly, end ■till later held an offie* finder * th* If n*td administration. Ha oama to Atlanta WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 28. 1874. ."■» _ Tws Democrats of Talbot county hava mada tba following nominations: Far Shoriff, J. H. Harvey; Clerk Superior Court, Jam. E.

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*. ia»g* of ti>» Atl*nl*,gi»n offioe.

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. Jsrry Lynch, a aaoond draft, upon Gan. Toombs for* whole month’s salary. This draft whs embed at Lswry's Bank hare, and also promptly paid by General Toombs. A few weak* later Gen.

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.

That Board bad mada no scab raboanoement up to Bunday morning, and of oonna did not make it on Sunday. On the oontrary, ih* BoUetin says that on Saturday th* Board dselared one Radi oat Senator elected who did not reoeive a majority of th* votes, and gave to the Radioala th* Represents tins from Natchitoches end Avoyelles, when the Damooratio candi dates were legeMf elected. It ohargee the 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- peeled that the Board would finish its Labors on Saturday, and ita failure lo do so is looked upon aa an indication of fraudulent intent.
