WEDNESDAY MORNING, SEPT. 17
Precisely So.
The New York Herald of the 12th,
in Commenting upon the platform
adopted by the Massachusetts Republi
cans at Worcester, thus illustrates the
old fable of the farmer’s ox and the
lawyer’s bull:
The Worcester platform is a model in
its way. It condemns and denounces in
no measured terms the iniquities of
back-pay, Credit Mobilier- legislation,
and all the evils of Congressional cor
ruption, yet declares the Republican
party, which has held control of Con
gress for thirteen or fourteen years, a
model of virtue, honesty and human
ity; :
It censures the administration for
daring to interfere through the army of
office-holders with the political con
cerns of Massachusetts; yet this same
Massachusetts has looked on approving
ly and found no fault, while federal
officials were interfering very material
ly with the political concerns of Louisi
ana and other States.
Verily, it makes a vast difference
whether a tight boot pinches one’s own
corns or the corns of his neighbor.
How The Courier is Appreciated.
The following letter is received from
Bartow, and will show in what estima
tion The Courier is held in that section,
of the country: i • v' \
Bartow County, Sept: & 1873.
To the Editor of the Courier.
Enclosed you will find two dollars.
Please send me The Courier immediate
ly. It has been my good luck to pe
ruse the columns of your most valuable
paper, and makes me very anxious to
get one of my own, to read at my leisure.
I consider it one of the best journals
at the South or anywhere else.
Explanatory.—The following tele
gram explains the reason of Governor
Smith’s non-appearance at the Fair, as
anticipated:
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 12,1873.
Rev. C. TP. Howard:
Your dispatch received. Have waited
till this Late hour, hoping I could attend
the Fair, but it is simply impossible.
I am unavoidably detained by public
business. Please say as much, if neces
sary, through the papers.
James M. Smith.
Loyal KuKlux.
The New York papers arc full of the
motling details of a pious bit of loyal
KuKlux eccentricity. The affair, if
down South, would be good for a sus
pension of the State government and
the proclamation of martial law, with
the appointment of some truly loil
nincompoop as Governor. As it hap
pened “ up North,” however, it is only
a bit of loyal irregularity, which can be
corrected by the coroner:
A few days since the remains of a
young man named Kelsey were picked
up by some fishermen in Oyster Bay,
on Long Island, in a shocking state of
mutilation.
Kelsey was a weak minded creature,
who had been desperately in love with
a young lady of excellent family and
high character.
Kelsey was ensnared by a mock in
vitation from Miss Smith. A number
of men set upon the poor fellow, strip
ped him naked, covered him with tar
and feathers, cut the hair off his head,
and, by the light of a lantern, exhibited
him to the ladies (Miss Smith among
the number), who were standing on
the rear piazza of the house, in the
back yard of which the proceedings
were carried on.
That night the poor wretch disap
peared, and nothing was seen of him
since until the discovery of his muti
lated remains recently.
The outrage is one of the most in
human and revolting that have ever
been perpetrated. The KuKlux or the
Bender family never surpassed it for
meanness, cruelty and cowardice.
Huntington is a quiet, high moral,
church-going village, but its sermons
and psalms have not been able to pre
vent a development of low bred villa-
ny that equals anything that has ever
taken place in the roughest settlements
of the West or South.
The Athens Georgian says:
At the recent session of the Jackson
court, his Honor Judge Rice, in the
case of Donahoe vs. Kidd—for decoying
labor, in his charge said that when a
negro worked for a part of the crop,
he had a perfect right to leave at any
time, and work when he pleased; that
he was a partner, and not an em
ployee—hence he had a right to quit
work when he wanted to, and go the
same as the man for whom he worked.
In a similar case last spring, that of
Mrs. Wells vs. Holliday, his Honor
thought differently, and fined Holliday
fifty dollars and cost for the same of
fence for which he acquitted Kidd.
We think a man has just as much
right to demand all of a negro’s time
when he works for a part of the crop as
when he works for wages—there is no
difference.
Agricultural and Mechanical Association
of Georgia.
We have received the premium list
for the Third Annual Exposition of
this association, to be held in Savannah,
commencing on the 17th of November
next. It presents an attractive list,
there being 893 premiums offered.
The list is printed at the Morning
News office, and is a creditable job.
The Atlanta Constitution of Sunday
has the following:
Mr. Moses Cole left Friday morning
for Boston. Yesterday morning be
tween three and four o’clock his unfin
ished residence, on the McDonough road
about two miles out, was fired by an
incendiary and burned to the ground.
The diabolical perpetrators of the
crime, to prevent any effort to save the
building, knocked the bottom out of
the well bucket, and threw the whirl
into the well. The house cost about
86000 and was uninsured.
Th® Dc»t Statement.
The Albany (N. Y.) Evening Journal
says the total reduction of the public
debt since the inauguration of Presi
dent Grant has 8384,767,894.88.
Yes; and it might have been six
hundred millions, had the present Ad
ministration been as economical as was
the administration of President Lin
coln. The small reduction of the debt
compared with the enormous receipts
of the Treasury, is a shame to the
country.
How comtemptible it appears by the
side of the achievement of France.
Boast no more of that paltry reduction
of the debtl
National Jubilee of Colored People,
A telegram from Philadelphia says:
Preparations are making here for a large
gathering of colored citizens, numbering
many thousands, by delegations and
committees from every section of the
country, celebrating, by jubilee and
harvest home, at Starr’s Grove, New
Jersey, September 11, their freedom and
advancement in church and State, and
td join in the coming Centennial cele
bration of American independence.
The committee on speakers have
chosen Prof. J. P. Sampson, of Wash
ington, as orator of the day. Bishops
Clinton and More, Prof. Day, and other
prominent colored men will speak.
Fred. Douglass, Garrett, Longston, Weir,
Undergo, and other leading colored and
white men, are invited.
The Winona (Minn.) Republican re
marks that three-fourths of the farmers
of that State are stanch Republicans,
and yet three of the leading candidates
upon the so-called “farmers’ ” ticket
put in nomination at Owatonna are
Democrats. It is well known, too, that
a large proportion of the agricultural
population of Minnesota are of foreign
birth, but every man upon the ticket is
a native.
The Fair.
The fifth annual exhibition of the
Cherokee Fair Association opened last
Monday under the most favorable aus
pices. The first day was occupied in
perfecting entries and arranging the
various articles on exhibition. So
heavy was the business in that line that
it could not all be transacted in the
day, and a greater portion of the sec
ond day was consumed in completing
the work.
This being anticipated by the public,
the attendence upon the second day
was not large. The display of articles,
however, was splendid, and those who
were in attendence had a better oppor
tunity for inspecting them than would
have been the case in a more thronged
assemblage.
Tko oyhihition is admirably arranged.
To the right, on entering the gate, is
found the magnificent apiary of Mr.
A. F. Moon. Next to this comes the
poultry coops, where we find a splen
did display of fowls, embracing every
variety of domestic fowls. Prominent
in this line are the entries of Miss S.
W. Howard, whose collection cannot
be surpassed in variety or in fineness
of individual specimens.
This accomplished lady deserves
special credit for her enterprise, and
we hope that her noble example 11011
be emulated by others. Master Paul
Black, also, has on exhibition a splen
did collection of fowls. There are
others, too, whose names we did not
hear.
Next to the poultry comes the stable,
well filled with fine stock.
The cattle stall is well filled. A lot
of Cotswolds, entered by Mr. Oldham
of Kentucky, attracts much attention.
The display in the Exhibition Rooms
is elegant. The collection of rare plants
from Rose Terrace, exhibited by Mis. J.
G. Yeiser, is refreshing and pleasant.
We doubt if a finer display can be
found in the State.
The horticultural department is full.
The agricultural is also good—quite a
worthy collection of grain, grass seed,
etc., being displayed.
The mineral department is interest
ing, comprising a collection which for
variety and richness cannot be excelled
in the world. It exhibits at a glance
the wonderful richness of our section,
and is a matter of pride to every true
Georgian.
The display of hardware is good, and
that of Rome manufacture is excellent.
The hollow ware and stove manufactures
on exhibition are also a matter of pride
to our city. Messrs. Seay & Walker
lead all others in this line, and to these
enterprising gentlemen the Association
is indebted for one of the'chief attrac
tions of their splendid exhibition.
The exhibition of furniture is good.
The sewing machines attract much
attention.
The display of leather goods is ele
gant Messrs. Camochan & Sons have
on exhibition a splendid lot of saddles,
harness, etc., all of Rome manufacture.
In domestic goods, and cotton and
linen fabrics, the display is good. We
cannot particularize in this line.
The fine Art Gallery is a pleasant at
traction. The magnificent display of
W. A. Reckling’s photograph gallery at
tracts universal notice and admiration.
The collection of orayon and pencil
sketches from the Rome Female College
is deservedly popular, while the paint
ings in oil, of Miss Kate.C- HIUyer,are
very good.
The programme for the day being
the exhibition of trotters, the following
entries were made: ;7T<-
George Ramey, black gelding; Wm.
Towers, roan gelding; Thos. Murphy,
sorrel gelding.
The trotting match, best two in three,
was won by Rameyimtwo heats. Tiiffe,
3.11.
A running match, engaged in by Ra
mey’s gray gelding and Cooksey’s black
j filly, was won by Cooksey.
The Murder of Mr. Taylor.
We gave a brief notice of the horrible
murder of Mr. Taylor in our last. We
have now from our Cedar Grove corre
spondent the particulars. It, is thought
fiat the murderer will try tojnake his
way through Alabama into Mississippi
and escape a just punishment. Let all
good citizens be prompt on the lookout
for him.
Cedar Grove, Sept, 4,1873.
To the Editor of the Courier.
Our whole community was thrown
into perfect consternation by the horrid
murder of W. B. Taylor; junior, on.the
Lookout Mountain yesterday, by the
notorious John Longe. . It was at the
house of the father of Mr. Taylor tliat
he was killed. rf,
Taylor was a young man, and leaves
a wife and one child to mourn for him.
He was a man universally beloved and
respected by his neighbors.
Longe took dinner with Mr. Taylor.
After dinner they all wandered a few
steps from the house, and were engaged
in eating watermelons, when Longe in
a moment drew his pistol and presented
it at old Mr. W. B. Taylor, and swore
that he had come to kill him. The lat
ter jumped behind a tree. Longe then
turned upon the son, who threw up his
hands and begged for his life.
But Longe swore, saying that “blood
he must have,” and brutally‘shot him
down without another word.
This is the same man Longe whom
Governor Bullock pardoned for mur
dering Echols, of Gordon county. He
is still at large, and has sworn revenge
upon other peaceable citizens.
It is hoped that he will soon be ap
prehended and brought to justice. So
this horrible crime has cast deep gloom
over a quiet community, simply by the
foolish clemency of Governor Bullock
in turning loose an outlaw after he had
been convicted by a jury—and all for
the reason that the criminal was one of
the “ truly loyal.”
Another widow and orphans are left
desolate; and perhaps more, too, will
suffer before the murderer is caught.

Presentments of the Grand Jury. Chattooga
County*
We the Grand Jurors for the Fall
term, Superior Court Chattooga county,
do make the following presentments:
We deem it not inappropriate at this
time, when the prospect is so promising
for the laborer to be so richly rewarded
for his toil, to acknowledge gratefully
our obligation to the Giver of all good,
who has blessed us with “ the early and
the latter rain,” causing the earth “ to
give forth her increase in due season.’
Moreover, we would humbly adore that
Providence which has shielded and pro
tected us whilst “the pestilence that
walketh in darkness and wasteth at
noonday” has visited other portions of
our beloved country.
Having examined the office records
of Sheriff, Ordinary, Clerk of Superior
Court, and County Treasurer, we find
them correctly kept, and only the legal
fees charged.
We find receipts—
For jail funds-— 8226.35
For paupers— — 179.54
For county purposes 117.34
Total 8523.23
Disbursements—
Under jail fund 8 41.13
Pauper fund 96.12
County purposes; 7.75
Total 8145.00
Leaving $378.23
Less Treasurer’s com 18.91
Total on hand 8359.32
The books of the District magistrates
we find correctly kept, and charges and
fees the same as prescribed by law.
The public roads, with a few excep
tions, are in good condition, and the
exceptional ones in process of comple
tion. We recommend,
First, That the Subligna and Rome
road be changed by the overseer, com
mencing at W. D. Scoggins’ bars and
running west of the present road, and
returning where a slough crosses said
road;
Second, That Subligna and LaFayette
road be changed by the road hands of
the 962d District: the said change com
mencing at ford of creek near H. H.
Lawrence’s mill, running on or near to
original survey, and returning to said
road below the residence of Chesterfield
Johnson;
Third, That Commiesioncro of Roads
and Revenue enforce the contract made
between the Ordinary and Joseph M.
Wyatt for blasting rock on the Alpine
road, in Knox’s Lane;
Fourth, That the public bridge at Dr.
Cheney’s be made secure, and that the
expense of same be out of county fund.
Fifth, That the public bridge at Trion
Factory, after thirty days’ notice, be
sold to the highest bidder, to be remov
ed immediately after such sale, and the
proceeds of such sale be appropriated
to building a new bridge at same place
whenever ordered.
We find defects in court house and
jail, and recommend that tire call plat
form be made secure, and that the floor
of cage room of jail be relaid on origin
al floor of room, with seasoned white
oak plank two inches thick, tongued
and - grooved, and that a window be
placed in east end of dwelling room of
the jail; and that a sufficient quantity
of gravel be hauled to make a good
yard in rear of jail; that the present
Sheriff and Jailor be allowed compen
sation per month for dieting and wait
ing upon prisoners that former Jailors
have received.
We find that actions of Grand Jury
become public through the following
sources: '«
1. Because of statements of Grand
Jurors themselves;
2. From statements of bailifis station
ed at door of Grand Jury room;
3. Through persons standing near to
window of present Grand Jury room;
4 By persons examining papers of
the Solicitor General.
We therefore recommend that a cir
cular stairway, commencing at the door
of the present Grand Jury room and
leading into the jury room above, be
built, and the door opening from the
sion of the court a bailiff shall be sta
tioned at said door, with instructions to
allow no one but the Solicitor General
to enter, and at all other times the said
door to be locked. - -
We recommend that the Ordinarj^n
distributing public documents to, the
district and county officers, take n re
ceipt from each officer for each book so
delivered to him; that a suitable book
case made of pine, with a sash door, be
placed in the court room for preserva
tion of all publie documents donated
to the county; and thatsame,be
charge of Clerk Superior Court
We recommend;also, that the Com
missioners of Brads and Revenue issue
no license to keep a grocery where’two-
thirds of the citizens residing within
circuit of three miles of such proposed
grocery are opposed to it
We recommend that Motunin Brown
(colored) be placed on the pauper list,
and that 83.50 per month be allowed
for her maintenance; also, that Bryant
Ethridge be placed on yiaupcr list.
In parting with his Honor Ju&e
Underwood and Sol. General dements,
we beg leave to tender them our thanks
for their uniform kindness and effident
assistance to us during the session of
this court; and we feel confident if the
assertion that it will ever be their pride
and pleasure to da all lu their power
to promote the peace and good order of
society in our midst
And we would place on record our
hearty approval of the course pursued
by his Honor in promptly enforcingthe
law against offenders during the term
of this court
