He was dead be fore any of his family could get to him. 'the Macon Tclegr: ph tells how a life worn negro woman wanted to die. but did’ut. . Here is how it tells it : “An ounce bottle of laudnum, if you please, sir.” Such was the request of a colored womaD, iuoDCof our drug stores: Mr. D. the urbane clerk of Dr. W’s. drug store, was about to deliver the article, as the woman appeared respectable and well dressed. All at once two or three colored children ran ia and said : “Don’t sell that woman anything, she wants to kill herself.” The druggist paused, gazed at the woman and saw that she looked wild in the eyes. “What do you want with this I” he asked. “I want to kill myself!” Then followed a wholesome lecture Irom Mr. D. ou the heinousness of the act. “I don’t care,” said she, “I want to kill myself, and I mean to do if.” “Well, if you will let tnc give you some thing that will do tho job effectually— something that will wind yon up quick.”— She assented, aud lie poured out an ounce of extract of lobelia. “Now drink this quick.” No sooner said than done. “Give me some more, I want to die.” Never mind, that is enough. Now clear out of here, for I don-t want any coroner’s jury sitting iu this store.” She left for tho next drug store; but was soon throwing up that job to an extent that, in all likelihood, knocked suicide into the middle of the net t century. al- The lheee men now to be examined are c!r rged with being concerned, iu THE SECOND fUTRAGB upon the old man Biggerstaff, winch leged to have secured as recently as last Fri day week. 1 have seen Biggerstaff, and there is no doubt that be wa3 seriously in jured by his first whipping a few weeks ago.

Ail three were charged with befog concern ed in the first attack, and were ainonj those brought up at Shelby. It is but fair to say thal.l here are a got many people here who DISBELIEVE ALTOGETHER this story of a second outrage, and who say that it was simply a trick to avoid going to Shelby and dispo-ing of the case then pen ding there. There can be no doult that Biggerstaff, if he had been really anxious to appear, could have done so.

STATtfi NEWS. An enterprising young American, boil ing over with gallantry, robbed his lather’s house in Savannah, a few days ago, and started to elope with his paramore. The vigilant daddy arrested the hopeful, but the frail fair one was whistled away upon the cars minus her lover, but flush with the spoils. She has subsequently returned and restored the money. A fire in Savannah on last Saturday proved the efficiency of the Savannah Fire Department, which was so promptly on hand as to extinguish the fire without any serious damage. The Savannah News gives the following item relative to the vegetables shipped from that oity : The vegetable gardens aronnd Savannah contributed largely towards swelling the freight of the steamers Magnolia and Gulf Stream, which left for New York, and the Townawanda, which left for Philadelphia, and no doubt will meet with ready sale in those markets. The number of barrels and boxes shipped on these steamers was 2,- 146. The same paper says of a dog : The steamship Herman Livingston, which arrived from New York yesterday brought out a largo Russian mastiff. It is a mon ster canine, and was imported for a gentle man in Macon. We hope the animal will make the acquaintance of the colored kn klqx of onr sister city. rCommunicated. Free Trade vs, Protection. Mr. Editor—With your permission, we call the attention of the citizens of^Romeand vicinity io the formation of a branch Free Trade League, and thereby connect them selves with the federal head in the city of New York, who will give the much needed information touching this legerdemain legis lation on tariffs, it having such a direct ten dency to make the pocr poorer, and the rich richer, which is done by protecting mouopo- >y- It is said “facts arc stubborn things, and figures never lie.” If this axiom bo correct, the logic distri buted by the great Free Trade League in the above named city, will open the eyes of the blind, showing them most palpably that this large Southern and those immense and ever extending Western States, peerless in that which makes a nation great, are reduced to humble colonics in all the relations of trade and commerce. And likewise throws much light on the why tho once favored yeoman merchant, craftmen and laboring men are burdened with the most distressing care. This desper ate feeling of despondency is not confined to PETTY OPPRESSION which has marked tht action in these cases of the local agents of the government. This is for poor farmers, such as are the great er part of the men accused, the most im portant season of the year. The three men now arraigned have boen already five or six times in court od various accusations, and have several times, when ready for trial been adjourned over at the motion of the prosecution. On tho part of the later there is, indeed, very little attempt made to con seal the fact that the present proceedings are to a great extent instigated by a desire to annoy the defendants, or, as it is termed in the parlance of tho country. BEDEVIL TI1EM. Tho prosecution to their victims : You have harassed and oppressed us by this night’s riding, and even if, as is very likely, we shall be unable 10 convict you of a guil ty complicity, in these outrages, we will give you-all the trouble ne can. Yon have bedeviled us. and now we arc going to be devil you. This is scarcely a very digni fied attitude to be taken by the agents of the United States, and is far more calcula ted to excite aud iuflamc the ill feeling al ready existing between the parties to the quarrel than to bring it to a Gaal termina tion by the uicting out of exact jm.ice. It reduces the whole proceedings to ibe level of PERSONAL MALICE. It is also monstrously and iniqnitously unjust, as it is very doubtful whether the parties now arrested are in very fact thc.-e terrible ku klux, who have spread dismay among the ranks of the immortal and the worthless, whether white or black,through out the district. The more I bear of these troubles, the more I become convinced that they are pure ly social in their nature. This is one of the corners of the country, in which eveiy far mer runs off his surplus peaches and ap ples into brandy—and very good brandy in deed, they make out of them. It is scarce ly necessary to add that, as in every other district of a similar character, there is an immense amount of The Hill Brothers, of Rome, were de clared bankrupts by the verdiot of a jury. Tho'r creditors filed a bill against them to the sections mentioned. It is the hard lot of the tailing millions suffering and helpless, in every part of our once happy land, when free trade was in the ascendency. Aud this is not all the evil in its train; pauperism and crime are making rapid strides in every part of our country, which is the fruit of this tree planted hy men paid and sent hy the people to attend to the best interests of all. But instead of that they have descended so low as to become the syc ophants and the minions of the great lords called the protectionists, who arc the power behind the throne. Tariff has made a myriad of tax gatherers and placemen on our industry, not saying a word of its centralizing effect, so dangerous to our liberty. Fellow sufferers, we ask your aid in this great and righteous cause, that a harrier may be put in the way, aud that further degener acy may he stopped. Men of all shades in politics arc engaged in it, and you must know hy the signs in the political heavens that this must be the issue ln^the next great contest. Need we remind yon that co-operation is imperative, and indispcnsablo in the achieve ment of an object so desirable. Is it not taught in the kingdom of nature, animate and inanimate, and are not the best plans found in society.

There must be plenty of it, or tho bar rooms could not afford to retail at the pres ent prevailing pi ices. Five cents is the tariff for a drink, and the bar tender does not make a wry face when you take three fingers, which, from pcrsoual observation, I can vonch to be pretty much the local cus tom. Now it is currently believed out here, rightly or wrongly, that so long as a man votes the llepublicau ticket, he will not be arrested, oa if arrested, will not bo fined for illegal distilling. While it is notorious that most of the men who still are ardently loyal, it is a cu rious fact that only two or three of them have been punished for offenses of this character, while Democrats have been hun ted down with all the rigor of the law.— The jealousy and bad bio id springing from this may be guessed.

Herald tells how the Kn Klux cases are managed in North Carolina—as we may look out for the Federal Ku Klux hunters in our State soon, it may be of interest to our readers to know how they manage their work. Rutuesfoedton, N. C., May 24,1871. Since the examination on Thursday of the three men arrested on a charge of Kn Klnxing an old prostitute, who was about to marry the lather of two of them, we have been trying to begin another investi gation, and so harry od to some* others among the two hundred Kn Klux menaced by the arm of federal justice. There has been uo delay for which there has not been an apparently good canse, and yet here we are, Sve days older and no work done. Friday was spent in hunting np two of the accused, bat they lived so far away that they did not get here until late Saturday evening and were simply bound over to appear on Monday. On Monday tho de fence moved for a day’s adjournment in or der to get witnesses. The same day notice was sent to a third person that the warrant would also include him. This man came in volnotarily, but as all the cases were to be tried together, a further delay until to day was granted for the purpose of obtain- ing still more witnesses. against the revenue law, and he carried it so iar that on one occasion he came very near being sentenced. Tbis stilling busi ness has, beyond all doubt, tbe true canse of thc)feud between him and the rest of his family. Thoir feud dates back some years, and on the side of Biggerstaff, the com plainant, a murder was committed about a year ago by one of his partners, KcGahy, upon a man named Depricst. The murder was never avenged by tho law, probably because its perpetrator was a radical, and the victim a democrat, while this present outrage—a simple whipping—which prob ably was a retaliation for the crime, is at once spread throughout the Union as a ku klux outrage. Such is the administration of Federal law in the Sonth by the scala wags and carpet-baggers whom the govern ment has appointed os revenue officers and commissioners. Commissioner Wilson has decided to hold for trial the three men charged with beating the immoral Mrs. Brooks. I hare already shown in a previous letter that it was a common case of :.ssanlt and battery under great provocation; that the men were not disguised, and that therefore they could not come within t' e jurisdiction of a fed eral tribunal, especially as they had previ ously been acquitted ia a State court. But the Commissioner has decided that it was a breach in tbe Lw against the intimidation of voters. The case to-day is looked apon by tbe defence as a sort of a test examination. If tbe Commissioner decides for the prosecu tion, as in tbe former one, in tbe teeth of law and evidence, future defendants will waive the right of a preliminary investi gation, and at once consent to be held over for trial. This will Eave them the expense of bringing their witnesses to town—no mean amount when it is romembered that a man’s labor at this season is worth four dollars or five dollars a day, and that these witnesses have mostly to be brought down a days’ Journey on horsebock. Such a feel ing, however, is bat a melancholly commen tary upon the fairness of a United States Court. Tbe authorities have backed down from the threatened kn klux crusade. In the case of tbe second ontrage on Biggerstaff five men have been held over for trial, at Marion in Aognst. Against four of them the evidence is very strong. The proseen- tion endeavored to carry the case - to Ral eigh, at which the court meets in a fort night, tbe Commissioner having decided against them. No more men are to be ar rested, as the more violent radicals claimed that in so conservative a connty as McDow ell no jury will convict a kn klux. A company of United States troops have arrived at Shelby. There are no fresh kn klux outbreaks in the neighborhood. Wolfe’s Scheidam Schnapps Is good for all Urinary complaints. Wolfe’s Scheidam Schnapps Is recommended by all the Medical Faculty, Wolfe's Scheidam Schapps Is good for Colic and paid in the stomach. Wolfe's Scheidam Schnapps Is imitated and counterfeited, and purchasers will have to nse caution in purchasing. I beg leave to call the attention of the reader to testimonials in favor of the Schnapps. I feel bound to say that I regard your Schnapps as being in every resDect pre-eminently pure, and deserving of medical patronage. At* all evcnt3 it is the purest possible article of Holland f in, heretofore unobtainable, and as such may c safely prescribed hy physicians. DAVID L. MOTT, M, D. Pharmacutist and Chemist, N. V. Louisville, Ky., Sept. I.—I feel that we have now an article of gin suitable for sush coses ms that remedy ia adapted to DR. J. W. BRIGHT. “Schnapps” is a remedy in chronic catarrhal complaints, etc. I take great pleasure in bearing highly credita- blo testimony to its efficacy as a remedial agent in tbe diseases for which you recommend it. Having a natural tendency to the mucous sur faces, with a slight degree of stimulation, I re gard it as one of the most important remedies in chronic catarrhal affections, particularly those of tbe genito-urinary apparatus, With much respect, your obedient servant, CHAS. A. LEAS, E. D., New Yerk 25 Hinc Street, New York,"Nov. 21, 1857. CJdolpho Woiie, Esq, present: Dear 8in—I have made a chemical examination of a sample of your“Schidam Schnapps,” with the intent of determininu if any foreign or injurious substance had been added to the distilled spirits. Tbe examination has resulted in tho conclu sion that the sample contained no poisonous or harmful admixture. I have been unable to dis cover any trace of the deleterious substances which arc sometimes employed in the adultera tion of liquors. I would not hesitate to use my* ielt nor recommend toothers, for medicinal pur pose.*, tbe “Scheidam Schnapps’* as an excellent and unobjectionable variety of gin.
