Is It True ?
To Tilt Kuttosa or THE UlLTiALO:
Upon arrival in LaGrange we found the
streets presenting a very quiet and deserted
appearance, and npon inquiring the cause we
learned that almost the entire population of
that elegant city had repaired to the park of
Mr. McLendon, the old home of the gifted
B. H. Uill.
This spot had been selected as a suitable
place for a picnic and a most appropriate
choice it was. We were cordially invited to
the grounds by some young gentlemen and
when there found an assemblage of refined
gentlemen and lovely women unsurpassed
anywhere. Really we are glad to have been
born and reared in ilie same delightful middle
Georgia iu which this elegant little city is
located.
Through the kindness of Mr. A. K. Phil
lips, an accomplished young gentleman, own
ing the finest turnout in tho place, we wer.
shown around town. After visiting many of

A Letter from Elder T. M. Harris.
Sanderhville, May 10, 1873.
To tbs Editors oy ths Herald:
Your notice that W. C. Moroan, io company
with Dr. Roberts, one oi the Elders of the
Christian Chnrch in Sandersrille, bad de
manded of me, as State Evangelist, an inves
tigation of the ‘ reports’ circulated, damaging
to his reputation os a Christian gentleman,
and that I had appointed a commission for
that purpose to sit in Sandersville on tbe 9th
inst., makes tbe following statement nec
essary:
Since my arrival in this city, I learn th.t
the churches to which Mr. Moreau bad been
preaching, seeing and heariog these ‘reports,’
had, previous to my appointment, themselves
appointed a meeting and ordered Moreau to
appear before them to answer said charges.
famous, we visited the widely known bat in
describable Ferrell’s garden which blooms in
beauty and is odorous with tbe fragrance of
gorgeous flowers. Here Georgia’s most
gifted authoress canght her inspiration, and
in these bowers many lovely maidens have
been wooed and won by tbe highest types of
manhood ever known in tbe world—gifted,
educated, refined and impulsive Southern
men. Here we spent an hour of unequaled
enjoyment. LaGrange has many reliable,
strong business firms. One of the best of
these, the house of Evans & Ragland, placed
ns under peculiar obligations. There is a
flourishing female college here, finely at
tended, presided over by that well known
educator, Professor Cox. Among tbe
number of pleasant new acquaintances
formed during our brief stay
were the Dis. Ridley, worthy disciples
of Escalapius. Leaving LaGrange at five
o’clock, we bowled along down to that thriv
ing young city. West Point This city, al
though tfle population numbers only 3,000 to
3,500, does more business than any place of
equal size in the Stale. It is surrounded by
a wealthy and populous country, and its trade

Although an embryo city it has all the ap
pointments incident to older ones—in the way
of colleges, academies, fire and dramatic com
panies. boat clubs, etc. Half a million has
been invested in two successful cotton facto
ries here since the war. Some of her busi
ness houses rank among the first in the State,
several houses selling over $200,000 each per
annum. They have a splendid Hotel there
It is but justice to Moreau to add that be re
quested the churches to defer all action in bis
cose until after the sitting of my commission;
but they felt that if tbe reports were true they
were the parties principally aggrieved, aud -V| ^
determined that Moreau should appear and | under the charge of Messrs. Higginbotham

send delegates to represent them before the
commission, but having already tried the ca.* e

The Kansas City Times has the following
notice of a heavy suit against a leading Insur
ance Company. We know nothing of the
truth of the matter, and merely republish
from that journal. If it is true, it is but
right that the people should know it. How-
r, w® do not believe it, as the company is and
has always been one of the strongest Weetern
companies. This, no doubt is a fight of the
' minority stockholders against the majority:
A HEAVY LAW SUIT.
St. Louis, May 2, 1873.
A suit was commenced to-day in the Cir
cuit Court of this county by Frederick Lele,
against tbe St. Louis Mutual Life Insurance
Company. The petition of the plaintiff states
that previous to 1869 tbe Company did a large
and remunerative business,and that the annual
income from premiums was a million and a
half of dollars, but that the Directors have
wasted and misapplied this fund in pur
chasing ground and erecting a building
costing nearly a million dollars, thus unlaw
fully and improperly diverting the funds of
the company, which should have been ap
plied to dividends to policy holders; that
many of the Directors of the Company were
interested io said building as contractors,
and charged prices for work and materials
largely in excess of the current rates at th e
time; that the Directors have loaned to
themselves and their relatives and friends
large sums of money belonging to the Com-
C iny, aggregating over a half a million dol-
rs, on insufficient or no security at all, they
knowing the loans to be
UK8APE AMD IMPRUDENT
investments; that the business of the Compa
ny had been conducted in a wasteful and ex
travagant manner, its expenses for the past
year having been $300,000 in excess of what
was necessary, and this simply to enrich
favorites and friends; that with careful man
agement two dividends of at least twenty per
cent, each could have been paid; that defend
ants, to keep their wasteful and fraudulent
acta secret from the policy holders, have by
purchase concentrated the capital stock of
the company in their own hands and that of
their friends, and that they retain their posi
tions by a small minority vote; that the
Directors have
FAILED AND REFUSED
during the past two years to make full ex
planatory reports of tho condition and trans
actions of the company, and refuse to per
mit the policy-holders to inspect aud ex
amine the books and papers of tho company.
That the directors, to deceive policy-holders,
have issued and published false and fraudulent
statements of the affairs and condition of the
company. Still other charges of irregularities
and wrongful acts are made against the de
fendants. The plaintiff asks that

Several weeks ago, a healthy looking col
ored man, who resides with his family in
the northern section of the city, was seized
with illness and took his bed. A physician
(a regular practitioner) was called in, and
he found that the case was an obstinate one
and tbe patient gradually became worse
under his hands. Some of tbe sick man’s
friends insisted that it was the
duty of the wife, inasmuch as the
husband was growing worse, to secure the
services of a “trick doctor” or conjurer, who
could ascertain just what was the matter with
him and remove the “spell” if any had been
put on him. The wife, however, had no faith
in trick doctors and conjurers, and refused to
send for any such person; but the aged
mother of the patient was a believer iu the
efficacy of conjuration, and by her consent a
“trick doctor* was brought to the house. On
his arrival he made inquiries about tbe fam
ily, and ascertaining that the wife of the sick
man had had another beau before she was
married, he immediately gave his opinion
that

lor cutting him ont. He farther said that
thsre were two ground puppies, (whatever
they are,) is the patient’s stomach. To de
termine to a certainty whether there was no
puppy, one puppy, or two puppies, in bis
stomach, the conjarer procured two small
china dolls, and turning down the bed-clothes
he set them on the sick man’s stomach, with
their faces toward his, and oidered quiet in
the room, saying that if they both fell off
there were no puppies in the suffer
and he would have to make another ’aperi-
ment; that if one fell off and the other re
mained on him, there was one ground puppy
in him, and if in falling they bumped their
china heads together, then there were two
ground puppies in him, sure. The friends
around the bedside kept very quiet, aud
watched the motions of the china dolls with
great interest as they rose and fell with the
movements of the sick man’s chest, and when
in a few moments tbe dolls made a pitch
forward, bumping their china beads to
gether, tnere was a heavy sigh from the by
standers, with exclamations of “Look dar,

A ’SPERMENT WHICH FAILED.
The trick doctor having by this “speri-
menl” satisfied nearly all present that there
were puppies in the man. then tried tbe fur
ther “speriment” of making a bargain with
the wife for pay; but in this be was un
successful, she declining to pawn her hus
band’s watch for this purpose, or sell the fur
niture, and the “doctor*' retired without a
fee. During the following night tbe patient
died, and the believers in the trick doctor
having set afloat some reports calculated to
injure the reputation of tne wife, she deter
mined to prove that there were neither pup
pies nor poison about Accordingly she re
quested a regular physician who had attended
her husband to make a post mortem examina

|To the Editors op the Herald:
Allow ua to make a few remarks on the
following editorial found in the Sun Saturday,
May 3d:
Can’t Come It.—We have received a paper
printed in German, with an article marked
and a note written on the margin ‘please
notice.’ Well, if the man who wrote that had
gone on a little further and wrote out what he
wanted noticed, it would be a source of con
solation. We noticed tbe cross marks on the
paragraph referred to, and could read his pen
cilling, but we know no more of what is
contained in the printed matter than Nicode-
mus did of the new birth. We can't tell,
even, which way to begin. Can't tell the first
letter, nor where the paper is printed at. It
^]ght be something important for all we
know, but that editor is barking np the wrong
tree if he suspects any one around this office
can unravel his Dutch hyeroglyphics, such as
es ist begannt datz der Stadtrath durch
(that’s Dutch) ein staatsgefets gezwungen.’
We could fill a column of this sort of reading,
but how do we know but what we are giving
ourselves the mischief in Dutch? Nix cum
arous ?*
We are surprised to find that the “Sun" is
nnable, and has no one about tbe office to
unravel the “Dutch hieroglyphics” entrusted
to his care. Since he seems to consider the
lack of knowledge, flattering to his vernacu
lar, and patriotic besides, as far as it is gen
eral, we say that this pater patriit* deserves
a free and lull absolution for all the errors
and offences, expressed and implicated, that
may be found in bis criticism for which he
claims the protection of his Patron-Saint, St.
Kicodexnns, who while professing to be in
search of truth, preferred night to daylight.
Had our friend ever been taught the differ
ence between Dutch and German, he might
long ago have comprehended that the Ger
man language is preeminently and emphati
cally the language of science, as it is the lan
guage of poetry, the only language among
the living that might be used as a substitute
for tbe Latin and Greek to develop the pow
ers of tbe human intellect; and that no man
of science and education, no editor or states
man can well do without it
We are truly sorry to hear that the ‘'Sun"
is unable to unravel “Dutch Hieroglyphics,”
for hieroglyphics were not invented by fools.
Were editors able to read tbe German periodi
cals of this country, ond especially of Europe,
did they, like German editors, fully under
stand two or three, or more, of the modern
languages, they would truly be “Suns” to
enlighten the people, prejudices would van
ish, and they would furnish to tbe public
mind better food than the crumbs, (kecrambe
recocta, from tbe poorly furnished tables of
English journalists, and escape the daoger of
mistaking the devil of their own office for a
‘Dutch Editor*’ barking up the wrong tree.
Such mistakes are likely to be made, until the
German citizens in the Southern States shall
have established a journal in the English
language, doing justice to their fatherland,
their language, character, views, aims, etc.
Can it be done? Our German musicians
have at last succeeded to teach editors “that
have no music in their souls,” the difference
between an oratorio and aii opera, why
should intelligent Germans despair to teach
editors that though they may have no sym
pathy with German worth and excellence,
prudence and self-respect should exclude from
their journals language like that which the
“Sun” has seen proper to use. C. F.

could sec the fighters on the hill, and could
hear the loud conveisation as they were pre-
paiing for the coolest. Col. Boteler loaded
his gua with heavy squirrel shot, having de
termined not to kill hiH opponent, but to orip-
pls him by shooting him iu the legs. Mr.
McClelland, however, was not so considerate,
as he rammed down sixteen buckshot in each
barrel. It was agreed that McCK llaud should
pace off twenty steps from where Boteler stood,
then McClelland was to wheel, and both par
ties were to fire. McClelland matched off,
never looking back, but called out the paces
as he went. When be called twenty, he
shouted, “Boteler, are you ready?" “Ready,”
answered the Colonel; then McClelland
wheeled, and a simultaneous discharge of the
guns took place, Boteler firing both barreds at
once and McClelland bnt one. The Colonel
was unhurt, but McClelland fell shot through
the left leg. He got up, however, aud as he
staggered he turned loose the other load.
Boteler approached him and extended his
band, saying: “McClelland, take my hand and n,., r the Nation.l.
let ns be friends.” “I'll be d—d if I do,” was^H
the answer. Borne partying took place, Mc
Clelland insisting that he would load his guu
again. Colonel Boteler took the precaution
to place some buckshot in his pocket, and an
swered: “ McClelland, you are not much
hurt. I shot you with squirrel shot, as I did
not desire to kill you, but if yon load again,
next time I will kill you, certain.” By this
time a number of citizens seeing the puffs of
smoke and hearing the report of the guns, ran
np and stopped all further proceedings. Dr.
Baskerville attended the wounded man, and
extracted fifteen or twenty shot from his left
leg. Several of tho leaded missiles entered
the knee and ar.kla joints, and these could
not be extracted. Yesterday Mr. McClel
land was suffering intensely, but was iu no
danger either to die or to lose his leg, and no
doubt in a month he will be up and well, but
iu all probability will have a stiff leg daring
life. Both parties were arrested aud were
brought bofore a magistrate ou Saturday after
noon, and both had to be discharged, as rif
witnesses were present at the impromptu duel
the firing being only heard and the wounded
man being discovered soon afterward. The
graDd jury of DeSoto county may make a
more serious affair out of it at the next term
of court, but by that time tho fight will at
