THE GAZETTE. Wednesday, March 19,1873. 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. _ to* The Atlanta Herald says, the Foster Blodgett committee, appointed by a resolu tion of both branches of the General As 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.

Peterson, 806 Chestnut st., Philadelphia. $2 a year. A meeting of all interested in the pro posed road from Chicago to the South At lantic coast will be held in Augusta on the 11th of May next. 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. Wm. H. Adams, Foreman. Wm. H. Mattox, Geo. E. Heard, Isaac B. Almand, James Almand, Sam’l. L.

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.’ ” —-<♦ He who pushes a jest farther than good breeding requires, shall never fail to be ha ted or despised. It is amusing to read of the numerous haunted houses scattered over the country, and equally so to see with what sober earn estness some interior editors describe the ghostly antics. — Blue-birds. —The arrest of a yankee soldier for disorderly conduct in Atlanta last Wednesday it was thought at one i time would produce a conflict between the sol diers and police; but the good sense of the commander of the post prevented a melee. Extract from a letter from Mrs. J. C. Aldrich, Wauseon, Fulton. Cos., O. —“ 11. P. Hall & Cos,. Gentlemen, —Please send me one dozen bottles of your Sicilian Ilair Rcnewer.

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. mchl9-2t.
