ROME, GA.
THURSDAY MORNING, Jaly 8.
BUI ot Indictment igilut Got. Bullock.
The Atlanta Era makes ont the Mow
ing pretty strong bill against Rufus B.
■■ Bullock, acting Governor of Georgia.—
i While that paper professes opposition to
l impeachment, it states that the Governor
has committed impeachable offences, and if
impeached, the world would say amen; and
■ declares that he is dependent on the 'char
ity of the Legislature. The following are
the Era’s counts.
‘‘He may be impeaohed.
1st, Bor takingthe oathas^floveraor of: f
Georgiy recognizing the Legislature; sign
ing at d vetoing hills; appointing and nom
inating officers under our present Consti
tution; borrowing and spending money as
Governor; commissioning .Congressmen;
pardoning people out of the Penitentiary;
acting as commander of the army and navy
of the State; and for variousother acts too
numerous to mention, and then going to
Washington and issuing an address to
Congress, at the expense of the people of
Georgia, trying to get Congress to destroy
the very government he had solemnly sworn
to support as Governor—not Provisional
Governor.
2d. He may he properly impeached for
commissioning various officers in this State,
without authority of law and in open vio-
| lation oflaw.
3d. He may be properly impeaohed for
drawing warrants upon the Treasury, in
open and most willful violation of the ex-
I press terms of the statutes, and then quar
reling with the Treasurer for not paying
them, and enjoining the Fourth National
Bank from dealing with said Treasurer.
:' and attempting to run the financial mat
ters Of the State through the Executive
Department.
4th. He may be properly impeached for
exercising judicial functions in certain cas
es, where there can he no excuse for
such conduct, except at the sacrifice of h;s
■integrity or his intelligence. He cannot
plead, ignorance, and his “misdemeanor" is
patent.,
5tb. He may be properly impeached for
his reckless and unauthorized expenditure
of the funds of the State, without the least
shadow of the authority of the law, and in
one noted caso, after the emphatic expres
sion of the General Assembly, condemning
his illegal conduct.
6th. He may be properly impeachol for
f his willful violation of the statute in his
unauthorized withdrawal of patronage from
the State Printer.
Other and well grounded charges of mis
demeanors may be stated, but we have giv-
■ on enough, in all conscience, to arouse the
fears of the moBt stolid. If the Intelligen
cer wants more, we can give it”
Negro Eligibility—Letter of Hon. A. H.
Stephens.
We publish to-day a letter from the
above named distinguished Georgian.—
While he believes that; negroes are eligi
ble to office under the Constitution and
laws of the State, as they now stand, he is
thoroughly satisfied that the colored mem
bers of the Legislature cannot be reseated,
and all future Legislatures will have the
, undoubted power to receive or reject colored
persons a3 they may deem best. His ar
gument is conclusive, and we presume the
course he proposes will be adopted, and the
matter be put to rest.
To Justices of the P-*' 6,
The commissioned Ju? , ‘ ccs Peace
of thiscounty can get 11 gw Code,- the
new Constitution, sod the public laws of
Georgia, for the jearf'1868 and 1869, by
calling on Jesso ijamberth, Clerk Court
of Ordinary, who has been diligent in pre
wiring all tin/laws and regulations the
Justices were entitled to. He .says that
the Express Company has been very
prompt in delivering these books, for which
he feels grateful
False Rumor.
The rumor that was circulated op our
streets last Sunday evening and Monday,
to the effect that a negro woman, confined
in the jail, for lunacy,, had .died there, is en
tirely without foundation, r . Her uamo Ts'
Bettie Talliaferro. She is a raving mani
ac, hut apparently in good, bodily health.
Hot Weather.
It is very seldom that we have as hot a
spell as during the past week. On Satur
day the Thermometer stood at 2 o’clock, p.
m., at 96°, in the shade. For several days
it was up to 93° or 94°. The nights also
have been very warm fir tin; locality.

RECONSTRUCTION.
President Grant and the Unreconstructed
States.
Washington’, July 3.—The question
whether the members of the Virginia As
sembly must take the iron clad has been
brought to the attention of the President,
but too late to make changes in the Vir
ginia canvass, even should the President
sustain them. His views on tho matter
will be submitted to Hoar before the meet
ing-of the Assembly, and a decision will
establish a uniform rule for Virginia, Mis
sissippi and Texas. It is certain the Pres
ident has no present intention of molesting
Georgia, as that State is in the Union, nor
has he asked Hoar’s opinion regarding her
political condition.
GEORGE PEABODY.
Gives another Billion Dollars for Southern
Educational Purposes.
New York, Jnly 3.—George Peabody
has given another million in bonds for
Southern education. Among the bonds
are ..ineteen thousand Louisiana sixes, ten
thousand New Orleans city sixes, thirty-
five thousand Mobile city five per cents;
seventy-nine thousand Alabama fives, sixty-
cine thousand Louisiana consolidated Bank
fives. All the securities are first class,
and the dividends certain to be paid. In
addition, he gives Florida six per cent
bonds which, with over due coupons, amount
to about three hundred and eighty-four
thousand dollars. Those last, like the Mis-
sissigpi bonds, will require many years for
payment.
A State Press Association.
To the invitation of the LaGrange Re
porter to form such a society, we say amen.
The newspaper gang should be gov
erned by uniform rules and regulations,
ahd.publisbing rates carefully graduated
and'adhered to. .. *
Those papers which intend to dc a le
gitimate business, will see no objection to
this. As for the others, those who have
not pride or reputation sufficient to desire
respectability, we say let them slide. We
are in favor, also, of adopting some code
regulating the rules ot courtesy, and the
personal relations of the Press.
An association like that proposed would
be of great advantage to the craft.—Cuth-
bett Appeal.
We fully endorse the above suggestions,
and will heartily engage in the suggested
project.—Rome Courier.
To be Slightly Altered.
A writer in tbe Maoon Telegraph sug
gests a few unimportant changes in the
State and General Government, as follows:
Suffrage to be restricted to those whose
taxible property exceeds 83,000; the State
Sena’e to have one member for each judi
cial circuit, and the House a delegate for
every 10,000 male inhabitants over the age
of twenty-one; Superior Court Judges to
be elected by the attorneys of five years
standing in their respective circuits; the
circuit Judges to elect the Superior Court;
the Judges of the Supreme Courts of the
various States to select the Supreme Court
of the United States.
j Got Enough of the Mormons.
The following extract is taken from a
letter written by Mr. B. V. Murdock, for
merly of Chattooga county, to his sister,
Mrs. Mathis. The genuineness of the ex
tract is certified to by Mr. Abner Echols
! and J. R. Green. Mr. Murdock went off
with the Mormons several months since,
bnt, as we understand, did not fully join
them. The letter is dated Omaha, Ne
braska, May 29,1869. He seems to be
fully disgusted with the Latter Day Saints,
s as they call themselves, as we presume all
other sensible people wonld be, if they could
bnt see the practical workings of this fa-
naticism. Here is what he says:
<*, I will say to you to have nothing to do
with the Elders of the Latter Day devils
ajj « they are wolves in sheep’s clothing—they
preach one thing and practice another.—
; There are whole oar .lbads of people coming
.■if from Utah almost every day. Some of
i' : them have been there ten to fifteen years,
i it and have never had the ohanoe to get
< *' • away until now. The Railroad and sjl-
I'j diers have got there now,, and they have a
i : chance to make their escape. All foe re-
ports you have heard about their mean do
ings is true, and the half is not told. Don’t
' write to me until you get another letter
| from me. I will write as soon as I stop,
11 r and give you a foil history of tho devils,
1 as I expect to go through Utah.

/I MURDER.
We learn that a horrid murder was com
mitted, at the residence of Mr. Hampton
! ; Penny, who lives near Judge G. • W. Thom
as, in the lower part of this county, last
' : ,i Sunday evening. David Partin', a young
1 ; man, killed Stiles Mohtgomeiy, a grand
' : [' ; son of Bartly Montgomery, who was a so-
! .' ber, industrious*young man, about nine
teen or twenty years old. He was stabbed
*; three times, either of tfhieh wonld proba
bly have proved fatal. The origin of the
1 ' difficulty is said to have been about some
j .., -woman. Partin made his escape.
Nobody Hurt.
The Fourth of July, as well as tho 3d
and 5th, passed off in our city without any
disturbance or accident, so far as wc have
been able to learn. We have seen greater
demonstrations of joy than was in the re
cent return of that anniversary day. but
perhaps our town was never freer of head-
chcs the day following than it is this
year. If civil liberty is ever restored, then
probably its birth day, ou this continent,
rill be celebrated with more jobil nt de-
nonstrations by Southern communities.

MASONIC. AI«3 ASSOCIATION.
.Richmond, July 2.—The barbecue giv
en to J. Walker, a colored man, took place
to-day on Yaoxhall’s Island, adjoining the
city. About 3 o’clock the chain bridge
leading te the island, was so crowded that
it gave way, carrying down some sixty per
sons. Col. Jas. R. Branch, a prominent
broker, and the Conservative candidate for
the Senate, was instantly killed, also Po
liceman Kirkham, who was on duty to pre
vent the crowd from rushing ou the bridge
Several colored men were fatally wounded.
The colored Conservative barbecue,
which was ended by an accident, was at
tended by about 300 colored men, and
large numbers of whites. A large crowd
had congregated at the bridge leading to
the island, but were kept off by the po
lice. Colonel Branch, who was managing
the affair, while standing, directed the po
lice to admit the crowd, which being done,
the weight broke the structure, precipitat-
iug numbeis into the water, where Colonel
Branch, policeman Kirkham end Robert
Ashley, were caught iu falling timbers and
killed. Seven other persons were wounded,
two of whom will die.
The Lody of Colonel Branch was fol
lowed to his residence by a procession of
prominent citizens, and the police escorted
the remains of Mr. Kirkham home. Colo
nel Branch was one of the first business
men of the city. Riohmond is pervaded
in general gloom in consequence of the ca
lamity.

Tbe Adkins Murder.
A Committee, composed of Republicans
and Democrats aad also relatives of the
family, petitioned Mrs. Adkins to give the
name3 or name of the murderer. She
failed to answer tho petition! The commit
tee waited npon the family, and pledged
them selves to arrest any one they should
designate as gnilty of the crime, but Mrs.
Adkins, who was within a short distance of
the house, refased to see the committee,and
the daughters abrubtly declined to give
them any information!
Did ever a community do more to aid in
ferreting out a crime? And was ever the
name of a murderer more tenaciously
withheld from the officers of the law?
There is a large number of troops here,
sent for the purpose of .investigating the
whole affair. The “appeal” is answered.
The United States scud her soldiery to pro
tect them, and the State her Attorney-
Genet al to advise and defend them. Still,
they bold tbe dying declaration of husband
and father looked up in their own hearts,
and the murderer goes un.vhipt of jus
tice.
We now ask, and call upontbe press to
echo the interrogatioif: Why are not the

town of Decatur bos been startled from its

theatre of action a small school-house, to

and not at midnights mystio hour. The
schoolmistress hears it whisper in her ear,

threatened with being shot, taqpttogly defies
the boaster. It has gone through a solid-

we can pronounce excellent. It is to slice
them, when ripe, cover them with batter,
and fry on a griddle, like other cakes. They
should he seasoned while frying. Larse
and solid tomatoes are the best for this dish.

4th Section of the 3d Article of the Con
stitution of Georgia, it is provided that
‘•Each House, shall be the judge of the
election, returns, and qualifications of its

By the 31st paragraph of the 2d Article
cf the same Constitution it is declared
that, “The Legislative, Executive and Ju

each department shall he confided to-a sep

collective persons,being ofone Department,
shall exercise auy power properly attached

- Itiseems, therefore,to be exceedingly clear
that the Senate , and House of -Representa

the sole right and power to judge of the
qualifications of its members, and the pow
er to interfere is expressly denied to the ju
diciary department.
The question of the eligibility of the col

been fnlly considered and’ decided by the
-two Houses, the proper tribunal having
original, exclusive and final jurisdiction
over the question; the decision has been
rendered and the judgment executed. There
can be no appeal or writ of error to any
other Court, and no provision is made ' .for
a new trial, and the question is closed
forever.
No precedent is remembered by me of a
rehearing in such a case—either in . tho

is it believed that there is one There is
nothing pecaliar in this case to render it

upon the status of the expelled negro mem
bers of the present Legislature, --has been

A Sad and Sudden Death.
As we sit down to write, the solemn
monotone of the chnrch bell’s funeral toll
tells ns of a striking instance of the preca
rious tenure of human life.
On last Sunday night, tbe Rev. John
.Long, of Thomasvillc, North Carolina, a
Methodist divine of twenty-five faithful
years’ service in the pulpit, began preach
ing to a large copgregation in Wesley
Chapel—the chnrch of the Rev. Mr Kim-
baU. He had continued some ten minutes,
when he suddenly' 'stippea,and with a livid
face and gaspingutterance asked Mr. Kim
ball if anything appeared to be the matter
with him. He sat down in an easy position,
folding his hands and throwing his head
back oa the sofa in a . reclining manner.
Perceiving his illness-and at tbe same time
observing that he was qniet, Mr.' Kimball
arose and concluded the sermon,- all the
time thinking that Mr. Long war better,
from his quietness.
As he ended his sermon, he tarned to
speak tc Mr. Long and discovered that he
was speechless.
It Was ah apoplectic ftroke, from which
ho never recovered. He died Monday
morning abo at 5 o’clock. He never spoke
again.
The best medical attention was called in,
bnt vainly. Doctors Boring and West
moreland gave immediate care to the
case.
This sad event has created deep feeling
in the city. All of tbe circumstances
have tended to invest it with dnnsunl inter
est.
Mr. Long was a gentleman of fifty-eight
years of age, of irreprbaohablb character
and high chrHianstanding. He had been
In the city bnt a week or two, and' con
templated making his residence here. His
family are still in Carolina,and have yet to
learn the terrible intelligence.
Mr. Long was buried this morning with
dne solemnities Masonic honors were
paid to him.
We can conceive of no more impressive
illustration of foe dread * omnipoteuco of
death, than that it should thos invade the
very sanotnaiy o£God,aadstrike down with
relentless hand, in the sacred pulpit itself,
the preacher-of the Divine Word, in the
midst of his holy teachings. The -.Tarniog
is awful, and carries with it a lesson full of
solemn portent. That mind that conldpas3
by this striking ocourrenoe-wi A unthink

; Washington, July 3.—The administra

cy regarding the difficulties iu Cuba, which
is summed up in the authoritative declara

republic. This course has been adopted af
ter mature consideration. The negotia
tions which will seen be reopened between

much to do with the result, for the reason
that a compliance with the wishes of the
(Cubans would detract from the justice and

, Murder in. Bartow County.
On Friday morning at four o’clock a
bloody murder was committed iu Bartow
county, about thirteen miles north of Car-
tersvilie. Caroliue Evans, a white woman
of thirty or more, has been living lor three
years as a servant in the family of James
M. Denman. She went into his room where
he was sleeping with his wife and child,
kindled a file, and taking au axe, reached
over his wife and child and struck him
across tho forehead, gashing out one eye.
He raised up in the bed}'and asked her why
she had cut him. She said she would toil
• at the proper time. ->.He died Saturday
morning. She has been arrested and is iu
jail at Carferiville. She refuses to give
her reasons for killing him. Mr. Denman
was a man of some means, and much re
spectability. lie was 35 years old, and
leaves a .wife and three er four chil
dren.
These are tho facts as givea by a gentle
man from that section.
There are rumors as to the cause of the
murder but nothing reliab'ei Itcertaiuly
was a very coM-bloodcd transaction, and is

greatly, which is already too ureal for tbe

prayed and fisted to induce foe Lord to im
peach President Johnson, she would not,
could not do it. No, her work is to live
with her own people, and if need be, go
down with them. The Methodist Church
South is full large enough to do good work
