DAILY ENQUIRER - SUN: COLUMBUS, GEORGIA, SATURDAY^ MORNING, DECEMBER 8, 1877. CO),UMIU!M, GA. ! SATURDAY DEC. 8, 1877. LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION A.\D n«IH): THAN TWICE THE LARGEST AGGREGATE ClUCTTIiATIOX ! Thk Richmond (Vu. i State says that General N. B. Forresi.nt his own request, was buried in Ills Confede rate uniform. Thk East River bridge, New York to Brooklyn, expenditures to date amount in round numbers to the handsome figure of eight million dol lars. The Robbery of n police officer in his own station house is the newest thing in New York crime. The vic tim is anxiously asking where were the police when the theft was com mitted? A Chicago man pleaded guilty to sending a postal card containing ob jectionable matter, and the Govern ment counsel recommended him to the leniency of the court on tbeground that the offensive words wereoddress- ed to the prisoner’s mother-in-law. Dn. Luke P. BlaukhuunIs a can didate for the Democratic nomination for Governor of Kentucky, Intend ing, as one of the State papers says, to make the race with the avowed intention of not using the office, if elected, as a stepping-stone to some thing else. When Mr. Eustls takes his seat as a Senator from Louisiana the United States Senate will he full, for the llrst in seventeen years, and the Republi cans will haven nominal majority of two. Thus will matters stand until 187!!, when six Republicans will be replaced by Democrats, and tliut par ty will have control of the body again for the tlrst time since 1801. StephiSn A. Haviunii, who is supposed to have been the most cor rect type-setter in New York, tiled on Friday, aged (1(1 years. He has been known to set. twelve hook pages of type, In mixed Greek, Latin and English, without an error, ami the remarkable feat of selling a concor dance to the Bilile in diamond type without un error is attributed to him. Gen. M. C. Butler mild to Senator Cameron, of Wisconsin, who was Chairman of the Senate Commitloo sent to Sotilli Carolina, end who was laying great stress on I lie affirmations of negro witnesses, that then* would he no difficulty In procuring any numberof affidavits from the negroes of South Carolina that ho (Mr. Came ron) had set lire to the city of < diieago in 1871. -—- ♦ i SENATOR Sharon denies that lie has sent, any telegram to tho Secre tary of the Senate, and says that ho expects to he in Washington about the 1st of January, It was, lie says, his original intention not to leave San Francisco before the Intter part of that month, lint the pressing tele grams lie had received within (lie past few days from prominent Sena tors at Washington, hogging him to come oil, have induced him to hasten his departure. The roaming leopard that tuts tcrl- fled residents In tiro vicinity of Ma rlon, Ohio, for the past month, was killed* on Saturday six miles west of that pluce. Mr. Biiriiison, an engi neer on tho Bee Line Railroad, while hunting, discovered the leopard in a tree, and gave the alarm. Samuel Johnson and Ed Kessler started with guns, and the leopard made for John son, threw him down, and l>it ids arm and fueo. Kessler broke Ills gun over him and killed him. The itni- mnl is said to be n line specimen, seven feet long, powerful and beau- ful. rcfTAi. nincuxcus. For the last fiscal year the Post master General re]>ort.- a deficiency of nearly five million dollars. The ex penditures show a small Increase, and the receipts a heavy falling off', re sulting from the smaller sales of post age stumps and a less business in the money order business. The former last year yielded $1,250,000 and the present one under $380,000. This lias occurred through an insufficient law of Radical manufacture, which pro vides for the payment of ninety-six per cent, of the salaries of postmas ters through percentages on their sales, and tile postmasters dispose of them in a mode not contemplated. A country postmaster, tho New York Herald explains, is generally in busi ness, and lie pays the city merchant of whom he purchases goods partly in postage slumps. Of tile stamps thus disposed of tile Government gels only a small percentage. The mer chant receiving the stamps, of course, does not purchase of his city ]>ostmas- ter, who receives a regular salary, and makes full return to the Government of- all the money lie receives for stamps. The Postmaster General recommends salaries for all postmas ters and tlie full receipt of all postage stamp sales by the Government. The Postmaster General makes some sensible suggestion in relation to the railroad postal service. The railroad companies have at all times shown a sincere desire to afford every accommodation to the department. But there is nothing to prevent their refusal to carry the malls should any disagreement arise, it is suggested tliut the service should he made com pulsory on tlie roads at sucli fair com pensation as might, in case of disa greement between tlie roads and tlie department, he adjusted by a court of arbitration. To make the office sustaining it will lie necessary to change some features of tlie present system, but the lopping off of any portion of tlie service would lie a hardship on tlie people. Better it is that there should lie a detleieney than tlie sparsely set- lied sections of tlie country should tie deprived of mail facilities. THE NiaROSI-SHARP CASE.

Frank Ramie, a prisoner about whom many columns are published in the Western newspapers, was cap tured near St. Louts after lie had kill ed two or four policemen who had hunted him down. Last summer lie murdcacd a man wantonly in St. Elmo, 111., and was chased by a mob. He shot down three leaders of the pursuers, one after another, using ids revolver with wonderful coolness and skill. Doubtless tlie crimes attribut ed him are exaggerated, but it seems certain that he lias killed seven men in quarrels. He'is young, educated, and has occupied Methodist and I’res- byteriun pulpits, lie also writes poe- try, usually in praise of tlie beauties of women. The recent letter of Gov. Straw, of Now Hampshire, attempting to show tlie advantages of New Eng land manufactories over those of tlie Routti, results in an overwhelming victory for tlie South. The Granite State Free Press, Nashua Telegraph, and n score of other New England papers admit this. Tlie Free I confesses that “the South is rapidly driving the North out of tlie market in brown goods, standard sheetings and shirtings." The Ttlei/raph goes even further, and thinks that "cotton manufacturing in New Hampshire has seen its best days." It foresees the day when the South will advance from the manufacture of the coarser goods it now makes to liner fabrics, and warns the capitalists and mill men of New Hampshire to lie pre pared for that emergency, and to de velop now other manufactures in which they can engage without fear of this competition.

Bpear, as an expert, testified after comparing the Tiote with Sliss Sharp’s undisputed handwriting, that the note was her genuine handwrit ing beyond doubt; that the general make up u'as the same, nnd the simi larity was too striking to be it coun terfeit. Witness had been In tlie •anking business nliout nine years. Mr. Frank Joseph, as an expert, testified that he did not consider him self an expert, but was familiar with various handwritings, nnd believes tlie note was genuine. Mr. 1. B. Faunce, wsh sworn as an extiert in deciphering handwriting : He said he wits not an expert, but was familiar with different kinds of hand writing; said there was n great simi larity in tlie writing of tlie note in question and other writing of the young Indy shown him; he said lie wouldn't say that It was the same, but that it’ was very much alike; thought the handwriting of one note was as good as any other of the notes shown; that if the note was n coun terfeit it wus a good one; the note said to have been written by her was not written by a nervous hand, be cause the italicising of the words ‘because we love each other” Indi cated hurried excitement: had seen great similarity in hand writing before which proved to have been written by different persons. ' Mr. G. Parker, school teacher, said he was a teacher of penmanship, and considered himself ntt expert in de tecting writing. The note was shown him; lie said there was great similar ity between It and tlie undisputed handwriting, but that the note wits written by another hand: would say they were written by different per sons; said there was it strong resem blance in tlie cupital I’s; that there was a strong resemblance, in fact, in the several features; thought the first note was written carefully, and not by a nervous hand. Capt. J. W. Powell, us an expert was sworn. Said he was an expert, and could produce a fat: simile of any writing on tlie table iih evidence that he was an expert: suid lie thought after examining the notes that tlie writings were the same, written by tlie same parties; that the several make-up of them were tlie same; that there was a disposition of all letters that rose above tlie line to loop; com pared words in tlie two notes and showed, us stated, that ttiey were alike; thought they were written by the same person, and that tills was a genuine note, said that he thought tlie note last written and left by her was written composedly; said the di rection of the note said to have been left by her was written in a different hand from tlie note itself. Mr. A. J. Lund testified : That he was a miller; lives aliout 200 yards from tlie cemetery; was sitting In his room .Saturday night between 9 and 10 o’clock and beard two pistol shots; there was about a minute’s difference between tlie two shots ; the shooting was in the cemetery, near tlie track of tlie Montgomery and Eufaulu Rail road ; remarked at the time that par ties were shooting at each otlierdown on tlie railroad; thought somebody was being shot nt for stealing; be lieves now tlmt Nloros! and Miss Sharp were killed by tlie shots in' heard. Dr. J. H. Blue, thinks Miss Sliurp was in a standing txisition when she was shot, but tliut it was possible that she was kneeling or sitting at tlie time; tills was a matter of conjecture; the pistol nniHt have fallen from hi* hand just as his hand fell from his temple; if tlie pistol had fallen from her liand it would have fallen mi the other side.of her ; the ball went en tirely through her head, and both sides of liis skull were broken by the ball, lint tlie ball did not come out ('OHOlir'l History of HI Biol f.

My family is of Dutch decent, and used to be called Cowen- hoven. It became Conover by pro- nunciatiou u hundred years ago. My father was a farmer in Grnnberry 1 After telling how lie carpet-bagged down to Florida and got into tlie Legislature through negro votes, he proceeds : .... “Well, you took your seat in the Legislature. What was its composi tion ?” “There were aliout seventy al together in both Houses. Di the House the Republicans had three majority—on joint ballot only five. I took my seut in tlie rear of the Legis lature. I hud just returned from New York, and dislocated my arm on the road. My arm was in u sling, and I had an obscure seat. Tlie first ballot came off, und three Republicans voted with all tlie Democrats and elected me (speaker of tho Assembly. I made up eaeli committee of one white Re publican, two negroes or colored Re publicans, and two Democrats. And I let the Democrats have the two in each case. Tlius we had fair repre sentation, and intelligence, too, on every committee. Tlie colored and conservative classes were botli pleas ed; tlie Ring howled, as usual. "The Senatorial contest soon fol lowed, did it not?” „ „ , “Very soon. The energy of all the Ring was now awukened to beat me for the Senate. There were many candidates: On the Republican side, Bisliee (now in Congress, Osborn, Dickey, Cheasy, and others; on tlie Democratic side, Walker, Call, Blox- ham, und Weseott, now Judge of tlie Supreme Court of Florida. The con test took three weeks and excited tlie whole State. In tlie Legislature were ten carpet-baggers. On or aliout tlie twenty-third ballot, eight of these bolted their party, formed one of Conkling’s holy alliances, and voted for a Democrat. Instantly twenty-one Democrats swung over to me, nnd I got also twenty-two Re publican votes, among whom were only two carpet-baggers. I had plen ty to elect me and to spare." ' “So you went righ't up in a few weeks from private life to Legislator; Speaker, Senator?” “Yes. And then it was shouted loudly that I had bought my seat.” “Wrs there any more snarling?” “Well, Stearns took a delegation to the Cincinnati Convention. I took another delegation forConkling. The Convention recognized me, nnd not Stearns. So did the National (.'oni- mittee.” "Did you support Colliding all through'}” "No. I heal’d Thompson, of Indi ana, say to another man that if he would help use up Blaine Indiana would go over to Bristow. 1 didn’t want any Bristow in mine, so we voted for'Blainc. I was nominated against Stearns for Governor, but ho had the State machinery, and tlie party all over the country begged me not to split tlie vote, so l withdrew.” "Have you made any speeches in the Senate?” “Yes, but not many. I spoke oil Cuban atliiirs, and on tlie railroad across our peninsular." “How caiiie you to get over into South Carolinu and support Butler?" “Well, I made up my mind some time ago .that I would see South Car olina represented by n native, legally elected man. I found Patterson in a bud way, und anxious to see Butler seated, and I thought it was as good n time as any to trail in the track of Hayes. I have seen but little of But ler, and what T have seen I like.” “Don’t you four that in merely fol lowing Patterson’s lead you put your self in an inferior personal relation?” "You mean that I follow Patter son! Well, I thought that some peo ple might say that, but though it's a little disagreeable, no matter?” "Why do you choose Butler in one cuse, Kellogg in another?” I think their cuses are much alike.

U.Stevens: Dear Sir—A few days after the Fourth of July last I got my leg hurt by a fellow-work- mun letting a plank Call, wiiioh strpfk me on the knee. For four months following I was under the treatment of the physicians at the Dispensary, nt the end of which time they told me they could *1? noth!tig more for me, and that I must go to tlie hospital and have my leg amputated above the knee. I wtu • 41 ten v skill describe the leg was swol body, and all the surface of my knee turned black, and I was told that my knfce was ho diseased as to render it impossible to save my leg, and unless it was amputated soon 1 would die. When ! first went to tlie hos pital, 1 ruined sucli an objection to thf am- putatlon of my Idg. they consented to try lie diseased flesh had been removed: but the bone was so much diseased that this ex periment proved a failure, and I was re- UUit'i pity niuiuim ncic men ciupiuj cu, un til nil the monej' which I hod saved from ditlon, with no hope for myself except relief by death. At this time Mr. Hill, the police officer in my street, called in to see me, and, after rendering pecuniary assistance to my family, brought some Vkoktine for see that I had some more.'

Ahead of All! three days the pain all left me, nnd my whole complaint seemed to be pouring out of me with this corrupted matter. The Veoktine was not only forcing disease from me, but it gave me strength from day to day. When I commenced on the fourth bottle of Veoktine tlie swelling had all left my leg, aiul the sore which covered the whole sur face of my knee commenced to heal next to the bone. I am now on the sixth bottle: the sore is entirely healed, and my health so Improved as to cnnble me to walk all over town. The Vkoetjne hss saved my life.

At 'tlie time I was suffering from general debility and nervous prostration, superinduced by over work and irregular habits, its wonderful strengthening nnd curative properties seemed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose, and under its persistent use I rapidly recovered, gaining more than usual health and good feeling. Since then I have not hesitated to give Vegetine my most unqualified endorsement as being a safe, sure and powerful agent in promoting health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy.

The Indians.—Secretary Seliurz of the Interior Department recom mends the colonization of tlie savages on two grand reservations, one west and theothcreast of the Rocky Moun tains, witli agents in charge appointed solely on tlie ground of lit ness, and with grades of promotion for effi ciency and faithful service. If tills plan is practicable under our govern ment il would, no doubt, be attended with good results upon trial. He thinks the Indians should be taught the principles of farming, along with tlie rudiments of a plain Knglish education, and be allowed to own land and cultivate it for their own benefit. With proper treatment, and a small lint efficient Indian po lice force, lie believes that peace and order can lie maintained among the redskins until they reach such a con dition of civilization as to render them safe and good citizens. The Secretary’s recommendations looking to the salvage of tlie government tim ber in Western forests are next in importance, and should receive the earnest consideration of Congress. —Aliout four hundred bales of cot ton cross Flint river from Meriwether eounty every week at tills season of tlie year, bound for BarnesviUe, Griffin and other points on tlie rail road.
