Unanimity Necessary. —A lack of
unanimity of sentiment and feeliug in a.com
munity in any matter of public policy is al
ways to be regretted, and unfailingly renders
nugatory any attempt to prosecute to a suc
cessful finality any enterprise of a public
character. Particularly may this be said
to be true of railroads. For the last two
years this community has been greatly ex
ercised to obtain railroad communications
with the outside world. We believe they
have been, and still arc, unanimous in their
desire to obtain this very much needed im
provement; but it is a matter of serious re
gret that after that there is no unity of sen
timent. Some of our citizens are in favor
of one outlet, while others, opposing the
other class, favor another. And, as a mat
ter of course, nothing looking to a practical
solution of the railroad problem has been
attained. The difficulty has been that there
arc too many directions in which a railroad
through this county could be built. On the
one hand we have Washington, on another
Lexington depot; while Anderson, Abbe
ville, and some point on the Richmond and
Atlanta Air-Line road, offer attractions in
viting to others. While one place would
suit citizens in one part of the county, oth
er sections of the county desire other con
nections. This diversity of sentiment must
in some way be remedied, or Elbert’s his
tory in the futuie will as in the past be un
marked by the bustle of business produced
by the iron horse.
We are glad to learn that steps of a prac
tical character have been taken to effectual
ly put an end to this division among the peo
ple on this important point, and we now be
gin to see the way clear to have a r; ilroad
to Elberton in—well, not many months dis
tant. While we do not feel at liberty to
disclose the action of our most influential
and public-spirited citizens in the enterprise
alluded to, yet we cannot refrain from ut
tering congratulations upon the turn affairs
have taken ; and whatever be the result in
one direction, nothing, according to the
pledges made, will hereafter occur to pre
vent a united effort to secure the end aimed
at.
We hope all will exercise patience. Rome
was not built in a day—neither can rail
roads ; but wc firmly believe the way is now
clear for the future growth and prosperity
for our noble old county.
* To those who say, “You have talked
enough; it is now time to build your road,”
our reply to them is that they have never
lived where a community had to rely mainly
upon their own resources to accomplish
such an enterprise, or they would take more
stock or murmur less. As tor talking, we
expect to continue our conversation in that
particular direction until the grave teceive
us or wc ride on that railroad.
♦
Grand Jury Presentmens. —ln an
other column will be found the present
ments of the Grand Jury of March term of
the Superior Court for Elbert couuty. In
a financial point of view the county is truly
to be congratulated. In consequence of the
heavy taxes assessed by the State govern
ment, the levy for county purposes is made
as light as possible, so that our taxes may
not become burdensome, but we believe the
amount paid by the people have, in the
main proved adequate to meet the current
expenses. Honest and capable officials have
largely to this result—so that
congratulations may be made in a two-fold
senso.
The improvements recommended on the
courthouse building any one can see are al
most absolutely necessary to the preserva
lion of the building. We hope this recom
mendation will be complied with at an
early day.
Upon the matter of the improvements in
jail building we have spoken too plainly in
the past to be misunderstood. The first
time we saw the interior of the building we
were satisfied of the necessity of improve
ments, and we have so often alluded to the
subject so as to induce the people to give it
the consideration it deserves. We believe
it is the intention of the Judge of the Coun
ty Court to make the needed improvements
as soon as he can ascertain how they
can be made without injury to the build
ing.
We believe the recommendations ot the
Grand Jury will prove acceptable to the
thinking people of the county.
The Case of the Negro West Tate.
■—A petition will be forwarded to the Gov
ernor by the citizens of the county, asking
the Executive to commute the sentence of
death in this case to imprisonment in the
penitentiary for life. There are many ex
tenuating circumstances connected with
this case which are worthy of consideration
The conduct of the prisoner has been, before
and since the commission of the crime for
which he is sentonced, exemplary. In the
commission of this crime his passions were
aroused by surrounding circumstances; in
the evidence of the principal witnesses (per
sons of color) against him there was
shown, we are told, some vindictiveness and
an overruling desire to have him hung.—
These arc grounds upon which the Govern
or might, with propriety, grant executive
clemency.
FIGHT IN NE W ORLEANS.
Accounts from New Orleans dated the sth
give the following details of a conflict be
tween the two pc litical factions :
Between nine aud ten o’clock to-night the
McEnery militia attacked the third precinct
police station. They commenced the attack
by firing into the building. The firing was
returned by the police. Soon after General
Badger, Chief of the Metropolitan Police,
moved down Chartres street from Canal with
about 200 men and one piece of artillery.—
Quite a large crowd had by this time collect
ed about Jackson Square and on the streets
leading thereto. When near the crowd
General Badger ordered them to disperse.
The militia refused to give way, when the
police fired a blank cartridge, and soon after
another shot was fired. This time the gun
was loaded with grape. By this one man
was killed and several wounded. Another
charge of grape was fired out of St. Ann
street. Some ten or twelve are reported
wounded, but only one man is reported kill
ed. As far as known only one policeman
was wounded during the entire fight. At
one time the firing was quite brisk, resem
bling somewhat a picket skirmish. For the
powder expended and the fuss made, the
damage was remarkably light. The grape
of the Metropolitans was more than the mi
litia bargained for, and they are reported to
have weakened readily. Many of them are
reported to have skedaddled in great disor
der. The United States troops, about elev
en o’clock, reached the scene of conflict, and
the remaining militia retired, leaving them
in possession. The Kelloggites are jubilant
aud the McEncryites quite the reverse.—
The United States troops now occupy Jack
son Square and other points in the city, and
will no doubt prevent further disorder. All
reports about a compromise are unfounded ;
in fact, now regarded impossible.
A company of United States cavalry,
o’clock, a. m., passed up Camp streetto Gen.
Emery’s headquarters, but soon after re
turned to Jackson Square. They are held
in readiness to assist the police in repelling
any attack that may be made. No further
trouble apprehended to-night, the militia
being satisfied at leaving them in posses
sion.
The city is full of rumors. At this hour
(1 :10, a. m.) the streets are almost deserted
Up to 12 o’clock they were crowded with
people, everybody inquiring the news and
the latest from the seat of war. Thousands
ot ramors were current, but the facts in the
case have been given above.
McENERY'S ULTIMATUM.
A Herald special from New Orleans
gives the text ot the ultimatum issued by
the McEnery government to the people of
Louisiana. After reviewing the causes of
the present difficulty, and severely denoun
cing the conduct of the United States Gov
ernment in establishing the Kellogg govern
ment, it says it is still more to be lamented
that the support and protection of the gov
ernment have been continued by the Presi
dent. It totally dissents from the view that
there can be any legal government in the
State entitled to recognition by the Federal
authority which is not dejure as well as de
facto. We have further to record the mor
tifying fact, as declared by the report of the
committee of the United States Senate, that
such government caD only be maintained
and its authority enforced by the aid of the
military power of the United States. It
stigmatizes the statement that the people of
Louisiana voluntarily submit and acquiesce
in the usurpation as a stupendous falsehood.
The McEnery government have deemed it
imperative on themselves to assert their
rights and exercise the function confided in
them by the people, but they have been hin
dered by intervention of the Federal Exec
utive. They therefore appeal to their breth
ren in other States for sympathy and sup
port of the position, which they are all in
terested in maintaining. They call on the
people of Louisiana to maintain their digni
ty and manhood, and to unite with them in
firm opposition, not to the United States,
but to any and every act of the Kellogg
government. The manifesto is signed by
McEnery and the Legislative Committee.
Troubles in the Way.—As President
Grant has declared his intention to support
the Kellogg usurpation in Louisiana, the
New York Sun thinks he had better take
steps to protect Federal officials in New Or
leans from arrest from thieving, or the
Kellogg Legislature will be left without a
quorum.
After an investigation by Hays and Ed
gar, special agents of the Postoffice De
partment, Charles W. Lowell, postmaster of
New Orleans, and Speaker of the Kellogg
Legislature, was arrested on February 27th,
on the charge of embezzling money order
funds to a very large amount. The post
master’s cashier, John Y. Douglass was
also arrested. Lowell waived examination
before the commissioner, and will be tried
in the United States District Court before
drunken Durell.
The accused official gave SIO,OOO bail,
and was soon back in his appropriate place
as Speaker of the usurping body of thieves
and carpet baggers. But he ought to be
protected against these legal inconveniences.
THE NEW LIEN LAW.
The following is a copy of the amendment
to the Lien law, by which it will be seen
that any body can now struggle over their
crops with liens a foot deep if they want to
—but woe to the men who give lieDs on their
crops. They are like the organ grinder’s
monkey—with a chain around their ankle,
dancing and collecting funds for thqjpbwn
er: •
An Act to regular the law of Liens in the
State of Georgia :
Section 6. Be it further enacted , That
factors, merchants, landlords, dealers in fer
tilizers, and all other persons furnishing sup
plies, money, farming utensils or oth®arti
cles of necessity to make crops,
all persons furnishing clothing and meaicine
supplies or provisions for the support, of fam
ilies, or medical service, tuition or school
books, shall have the same right to secure
themselves from the crop of the pR ?n
which said things are done or furnishgd,.aß
is now given by law, under the act of 1865-
6, to factors, with the following conditions :
All of the liens provided for in this section
must be created by special contract in writ
ing, and every person giving a lien under
this section, having previously given a lien
or liens under it, or any other lien, shall,
when giving anew lien under this section,
on the same property to another person, in
form such person, if interrogated as to the
facts, of the amount of such lien or liens,
and to whom given ; and such person giving
false information as to the facts aforesaid,
shall be guilty of the same offence as that
of persons fraudulently making a second
deed, under section 4511 of the Code and
punished as herein prescribed; and the
liens created under this section are hereby
declared to be superior in rank to other
liens, except liens for taxes, the general aud
special liens of laborers, and the special liens
to landlords, to which they shall be inferior
and shall, as between themselves and other
liens not herein excepted, rank according to
date, and shall only exist as liens on the
crop of the year in which they were made
Approved, February 24th, 1873.
A Warning. —Several months ago, wag
ons were going throughout this county ped
dling what was called “The Farmer’s Stove.”
The agent sold the stoves on time, guaran
teeing satisfaction, or the stove could be re
turned. Quite a number were sold in El
bert, and, as far as we can learn, every stove
proved to be almost useless —some ot them,
according to the buyers’ accounts, worse
than useless. Soon the agent, other than
the first who came, was around collecting
payment from the purchasers. Among oth
ers called on, was a gentleman who positively
refused to pay tor the stove, saying he could
make no use of it, and the agent, according
to agreement, could take it away. After
vainly trying to persuade the gentleman in
question to keep the stove and pay for it, the
agent asserted that he would not take the
steve back ; but that he would sue for the
money. Upon being told to sue ahead, the
agent asserted that in the patent granted
for the stove, Congress had given the pat
entee the privilege of suing in the United
States Courts, and if the purchaser did not
care to go to Atlanta, he had better fork
over. Under this threat, not wishing to go
to the expense of attending a U. S. Court
in Atlanta, the stove was paid for.
The character of this transaction speaks
for itself. If the statement made is true,
and we believe it is in every particular, that
stove company is a regular swindle, and it
should be known to the public as such. Wc
believe the agent told a positive falsehood
when he spoke of the power granted to the
company by Congress, as that body has
nothing to do with granting patents; that
is a business belonging to the Patent Office.
The style of the firm selling these stoves
is Culver Bros., and we believe their head
quarters arc at Abbeville, S. C.
Let the public be on their guard.

The Atlanta Herald says, the Foster
Blodgett committee, appointed by a resolu

sembly, at its last session, are slowly
progressing with the investigation of the
facts of the indebtedness of Blodgett, and
his securities; some important facts have
been elicited thus lar, which will be made
public at some future day.
The committee will adjourn soon, (proba
bly on Saturday next) until July Ist, when
they will again meet and conclude their du
ties.
Madison Court. —We are informed that
at the March term of Court in Madison, the
two prisoners from that county who have
been confined in the Elbert jail since the
destruction by fire of their county jail, were
sentenced to the penitentiary for the follow
ing terms : Charles Meadows for life, and
Lewis Eberhart for five years. We gave a
full account of these prisoners at the time
they were transferred to the jail of this
county.

General Presentments
FOR MARCH TERM, 1873.
We the Grand Jurors, choseti, selected
and sworn for the regular March Term of
Elbert Superior Court, 1873, make the fol
lowing General Presentments:
The committee appointed by the last
Grand Jury to examine the public records
of the various offices of the county, have
discharged the duties assigned them and re
ported to our body, a copy of which report
is hereunto annexed marked “A.” We
appointed a special committee to examine
the public buildings of the county, who re
port to us, the jail in a secure and neat
condition, but the repairs heretofoie recom
mended have be2n neglected. We there
fore urgently impress upon the proper
authority the importance of immediate ac
tion. The Courthouse is needing repairs,
and should be attended to without delay
before more serious injury occurs to the
building.
The roads of the county are reported in
very good condition with a few exceptions.
In quite as good order as the protracted wet
season and heavy travel will admit.
Upon the subject of bridges we have no
new recommendations to make. The Coun
ty Judge has authorized the construction
of several new bridges, which, we presume,
will be completed as soon as practicable.—
Others at different points are needed, but
we decline at this time, to advise any course
which would bring upon our county any
additional expenses.
The Fortson bridge, on the road from
Elberton to Ruckersville, which is perhaps
the most important work of the kind in the
county, and which has certainly exercised
the minds of the people very much for the
last four months, has enlisted our earnest
consideration. This bridge has been a
fruitful source of trouble and expense to
the county for many years, aud at the same
time has never fully compensated the pub
lic for this trouble and outlay. The pres
ent plan adopted by Judge VanDuzer
promises to do better; and notwithstand
ing the urnount of money necessary to com
plete the proposed structure is considerably
enlarged over any previous expenditure at
that place, we fully concur with the judge,
and believe it will prove sound economy in
the end. There has already been paid out
on account of the bridge, about $750.00,
and we are assured it will not cost the
county as much more to complete the work
—thereby securing to us an advantage of
incalculable value far an amount not ex
ceeding $1,50u.('0. Therefore, while wc
differ with Judge VanDuzer in some of the
minnutiae of the work, in the main we rati
fy his actions and recommend that he pro.- -
cute the work with every available en
ergy.
At the earnest solicitation of the Treas
urer we appointed a committee (iu addition
to the committee appointed by our last
Grand Jury) to examine all his bocks and
papers. Said committee report as follows :
They find in the Treasury from “General
Fund” a balance of $2,662.57, and ol funds
arising from County Court $234.09, and of
the “School Fund” $132,33, making now iu
the treasury an aggregate of $3,028.99. —
Upon this showing we congratulate our
county.
We have also examined the dockets of the
various subordinate judicial officers of the
county, aud find but few of these correctly
or neatly kept. We advise those officers to
be more careful for the future.
We make the following recommenda
tions :
That the salary of the Judge of the
County Court be $500.00 for the present
year.
That the Jail fee for board remain at 60
cts. per day, and that the jailor be required
to furnish three meals per day separately.
The present system of furnishing the day’s
board at one time is liable to many objec
tions.
That the Sheriff be paid SIOO.OO for ex
tra services at this term of the court, and
that Constable T. J. Greenway be paid
$9.00 for extra services rendered at March
and September terms, 1872.
That the jurors and bailiffs at the pres
ent term receive $2.00 per diem for their
services.
To His Honor, Judge Andrews we tender
the thanks ot this body for his courteous
bearing and kindness shown us ; also to our
Solicitor General tor his prompt attentions
to our solicitations.
All of which is respectfully presented,
and that these Presentments be published
in The Gazette.

Twelve iron enterprises are in operation

these are in operation, yielding forty tons
per day. All of them will be in operation
within six months, and the probable yield
will be one hundred and twenty tons per
day, or over two millions of dollars per an
num in the value of their products, and
giving employment to over one thousand
men. At the present rate, the net profits
of these twelve furnaces will not be less than
one milliou of dollars per annum.

Pleasant Rumors.— The Columbus
Sun mentions, among others afloat in that
city, one to the effect that a wealthy man
ufacturer now visiting there intends selling
out his interests in Massachusetts and
building new mills in Columbus; and an
other that the Merriwether Warm Springs
has been bought by a Northern com
pany, and that very extensive improve
ments will be made at that watering
place.
How it was Done. —The New York
Tribune says:
“An analysis of the vote in the House on
the salary question shows that 62 of the
103 who favored the increase were not re
elected to Congress. That is to say, they
had no immediate prospect of coming back
again. They therefore grabbled five thous
and more apiece. These men, wise in their
day’ and generation, undoubtedly think ‘the
happiest time is now.’ ”

ATTENTION, CAPITALISTS!
TREASURY OF GEORGIA,
Atlanta, March 10, 1873.
An Act of the last Legislature authorizes and
dirt cts the Governor to issue bonds of the State
of Georgia to the amount of twelve hundred
thousand dollars, with interest at
EIGHT PER OE3XTT
payable semi-annually in April and October.
These bonds will bear date Ist April, 1873,
and will become due in annual installments of
One Hundred Thousand Dollars,
on the Ist day of April, 1875, and the like
amount on the same date each year thereafter
until the whole amount authorized is paid—to
wit: on the Ist day of April, 1886. Appropri
ation is made for their payment and the annual
interest in the act authorizing their issue,which,
being part of the cohtraet,
IS IRKEPE A GAUGE .
Being relieved from State, county, and muni
cipal taxation, their purchase amounts to almost
a ten per cent, investment, to which the attention
of Trustees, Guardians, Executors, etc., is espe
cially called; and as they are issed in part for
redemption of overdue Bonds of the State, most
of which bear only six per cent, interest, they
are offered at par for these securities.
Their number, sizes, and time of payment will
be as follows, viz:
1,600 bonds of $250 each, due in 1875,
1876, 1877, 1878 $400,000
800 bonds of SSOO each, due in 1879,
1880, 1881, 1882 400,000
400 bonds o' SI,OOO each, due in 1883,
1884, 1885, 1886 400,000
The Bonds are in the hands of the engraver,
and will be ready for issue very shortly after they
are received from him. Meanwhile, all who de
sire to exchange or invest can, by forwarding
their old bonds or the currency to this depart
ment, receive certificates, if the bonds should not
be ready, drawing interest from the date of the
bonds; and on notice given of their completion,
the certificates can be brought forward and the
bonds delivered.
