Filibustering on Mexico. —The Phil
adelphia Ledger’s New York correspondent
says: “The Washington rumor intimating
that a formidable filibustering expedition is
afoot, with a view of establishing anew
State on the Mexican side of the Rio
Grande, is not all fancy work, as your cor
respondent happens to know. New l r ork is
to furnish the money, the Southern and
Western cities the men, while the nominal
leadership will be a prominent Mexican mil
itary governor, acting under the advice of a
well known ex-Confederate officer.
At Webster Superior Court Judge Clark
pronounced the sentence of death on three
persons—E. F. Spann, for the killing of his
wife, and Susan Eberhart, an accomplice;
Spann to be hung on the 11th of April and
Susan Eberhart on the 2d of May. Also,
Lee Smith, colored, for the murder of his
wife, to be hanged on the 25th of April.
Also, a sentence on William Sheppard, col
ored, for burglary, to five years in the Pen
ltentiaiy.
The Washington Star says : “These re
markable facts are worthy of being noticed
—viz., that the Declaration of Independence
was first copied from the original draft by
an Irishman —Charles Thompson—who was
Secretary the first Congress, that it was
first read to the people from a window of In
dependence Hall, Philadelphia, by an Irish
man —Colonel John Nixon—and that it was
first printed by an Irishman—John Dun
lap."
Someone stole tho dockets of the Supe
rior Court of Butts county while the Court
was in session. Judge Hale offered a reward
of SIOO for the thief, and adjourned the
Court until the third Monday in July.—
The records were afterwards found in a sta
ble in Jackson.

Beast Butler's Banditti Condemn
ed. —The Michigan State Senate, on Tues
day, adopted a resolution condemning the
action of Congress in increasing salaries.
Hon. J. P. King, the great railroad man,
has given to the citizens of Stone Moun
tain, through her Council, a large tract of
land immediately in front of the depot for
the purpose of a public park.
For the Gazette.J
HE A VEN
is a place of joy, prepared for the finally
faithful, beyond the Jordon of death; a
place where the wicked cease from troub
ling and the weary are at rest. It should
be of paramount importance to those who
feel an interest in the welfare of their nev
er-dying and immortal souls constantly to
inquire within their hearts, what shall I
do to gain this land of rest to the wearied
soul. The response is, “Love God and
keep his commandments.” Imagine the
triumph of the care-worn soldier of the
cross when he has fought the guoil fight in
the cause of his master and gained the vic
tory over the adversary of souls, as in peace
he lays his armor by and sails to the ce
lestial city with the diadems of honor aud
glory entwined on his brow; then, when
Jordan’s stormy banks are reached, viewing
the landscape o’er, the triumphant soul is
made to exclaim, hosanna to the King of
glory who gave the victory in the fierce and
sanguinary struggle for life everlasting.—
In heaven, God the Son forever shines and
scattess night away. Under the luminous
blaze of light from the divinity of the
saints chant the praises of a once crucified
but a now arisen Saviour, world without
end. In heaven are many mansions ’which
shall be occupied by those of earth who run
with patience the race set before them ana
who are crowned with success at the goal
according to the degree of Christian perfec
tion attained during their pilgrimage below.
Those who attain to the highest degree of
perfection in Christian experience shall oc
cupy the highest seats in the courts of hon
or, and vice versa. Heaven then is a city
of refuge to the wearied soul from the trials
and troubles of earth ; a land of milk and
honey; a land of pure delight; a land where
sickness and sorrow, pain and death, are
felt and feared no more; a land where we
shall meet our loved ones and dwell with
them throughout a never-ending etern
ity.
Contemplatiog this land of endless joy
and rest we should, as travelers from this
to another world, stretch every nerve and
press with vigor on to the fertile fields of
the New Jerusalem, there to bask our souls
in never-ending bliss.
“Rise my soul and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace;
Rise from transitory things
Towards Heaven, thy native place.
Sun and moon and stars decay,
Time shall soon this earth remove.
Rise my soul and haste away
To seats prepare above.”

MI’STERIO US DISCO VER YON THE SEA.
Washington, March 14.
The following circular was issued to-day :
Treasury Dep’t., March 24. 1873.
To the Collectors of Customs and Others :
You are requested to furnish this depart
ment with any information you may be able
to obtain affording a clue which may lead
to the discovery of all the facts concerning
the desertion of a vessel found on the 13th
December, in latitude 38:20, North, and
longitude 17:51, West, derelict at sea, and
which was towed into the harbor of Gibral
tar by the British vessel Deigratta, t.nd there
libelled by the salvors.
From the log of the abandoned vessel she
is supposed to be the American brigantine
Mary Celeste, bound from New York to
Geneva, and it is supposed she sailed from
New York, and that her master was named
Briggs. The circumstances of the case
tend to arouse grave suspicions that the
master, his wife and child, and perhaps t’no
chief mate, were murdered in the fury of
druukeness, by the crew, wbo had evi
dently obtained access to the alcohol with
which the vessel was in part laden. It is
thought that the vessel was abandoned by
the crew between the 25th November and
the sth December, and that they either
perished at sea or mere like’y escaped on
board some vessel bound for some North or
South America port, or the West India Is
lands.
When discovered the derelict vessel was
thoroughly sound, with the exception of
the boats, which had been injured by some
sharp instrument. She was well found and
provisioned, and no reason for her desertion
was apparent. A sword with the appear
ance of blood thereon was on board,, and
marks of blood were found upon the sails.
The vessel’s documents and chronometer
have not been found, but almost the whole
of the personal effects of the master and his
wife and child, and of the crew, were dis
covered in good condition, and books, trink
ets, gold lockets and female wearing apparel
of superior qua ity, were left untouched in
the cabin.
The log was completed to noon on the
24th of November.
Many other details concerning the matter
are in the possession of the Department,
which will be furnished on applic ition if
necessary
W. A. Richardson,
Secretary of the Treasury.
•
Georgia Teachers’ Association.—
The Secretary of this Association, Mr. B.
Mallon, Superintendent of Public Schools
in Atlanta, announces that the next annual
meeting of this body will be held in that
city on the 29th and 30th of April, and the
Ist of May.
MORE NEPOTISM.
The Chicago Tribune thus denounces the
last little family job perpetrated by the Pres
ident :
Theannouncementjthat Lieut. Fred Grant
was about to finish his academic course at
one bound, by assuming certain duties in
cident to his appointment on Gen. Sheri
dan s staff, has alread created a very strong
feeling in the city. Not because Fred
Grant is coming to Chicago, for that is a
matter entirely for Fred Grant’s benefit
and the people of this city are generous
enough to wish for improvement wherever
needed. If society likes Mr. Grant when
be comes, Mr. Grant will without any doubt
whatever be made aware of it; but if he
does succeed in making himself popular, it
will uot be through the circumstances which
have brought h’tu here, for they are much
against him. It is now known that the gal
lant officer whose removal is to pave the
way to Mr. Grant’s promotion is one from
whom Chicago is most unwilling to part,
one of her cherished sons, a gentleman in
every way worthy of the city’s affection ;
who, though quite young, has won by hero
ism the exalted position he holds io the
army, and by his many social qualities the
esteem and regard of his fellow citizens.—
General George A. Forsythe is to be remov
ed aud reduced to the rank ot Major, and
sent to join his regiment in the field, to
make room lor Mr. Fred. Grant, a young
man of whom nothing is known except that
he enjoys the distinction of beiDg the son
of a living President of the United States;
has traveled to Europe in a United States
war steamer, the hills being paid by the peo
ple of the United States.
No reason is assigned for this change.—
There is probably no officer in the country
so much esteemed at home a Gen. Forsythe.
Nothiug lias ever been done by him to
merit such treuctment. It is the duty of a
soldier to obey, hut the citizens of Chicago
hold that the order is a direct insult to
them, and the public feeling at present is
as bitter as it cau be.
* * * * O *
It is a long skip from Second-Lieutenant
to Lieutenant-Colonel, and Mr. Fred Grant
is to make that skip. On what ground this
wholesale promotion of a raw West Point
graduate should be made at the expense
of a brave and sorely-tried soldier, a true
gentleman, and as clever a fellow as
ever lived, is what the people want to
know.
The Nutting Bonds.— 11. 11. J., irav
eling correspondent of the .Macon Telegraph
and messenger, has been to Atlanta recent
ly. While there he picked up ab<u‘
headquarters the following information as to
the sale of the late issue of State bonds
m y
known as the “Nutting Bonds.” He says :
The sale of the $1,200,000 eight psfr cent,
bonds, authorized by the Governor and
Legislature is progressing very favorably.
From the gallant old Treasurer, Oapt John
Jones, who did not hesitate to take Uncle
Sam by the beard in the midst of his armed
myrmidons, we learn that 850,000 have
been sold at his office alone, within the past
three days. And what was especially note
worthy, those maturing at the longest date
seemed most in request. This is a proud
tribute to the Empire State by her loyal
sons. One county, Elbert, had invested
$3,500 of trust funds in these reliable secu
rities. The reports from Macon and other
points are also encouraging, and it is hoped
that the whole amount will be taken with
out difficulty by parties residing within the
iimits of the State. So far, every transac
tion has been at par, and for the honor ot
Georgia it is to he hoped not one of these
bonds will sell for less. True, the abstrac
tion of this large amount from the limited
available capital of the State will tighten the
monetary situation, but our patriotic peo
ple must make up the deficiency by re
trenchment and increased economy in
personal expenditures. A little self-denial
is all that is necessary.
No Usury Laws in Georgia. —At the
late sesssion of the Legislature the usury
laws of this State were repealed. Under
our present law the borrower is free to ob
tain money at any price, but the sum to
be paid as interest must be stipula
ted in ihe written contract. The text ot
the act, which has been made a law, is as
follows :
An act to repeal the usury laws in this
State, and to fix the rate of interest in cases
where the contracting parties make no con
tract in writing in reference thereto.
Section 1. Be it enacted by the Senate
aud House of Representatives in General As
sernbly met, and it is hereby enacted by the
authority of the same, That from and after
the passage of this act, all laws in this State
upon the subject of usury be, and the same
are hereby repealed.
Sec. 2. And be it furthes enacted, That
the rate ot interest in this State, when the
same is not agreed upou in writing by the
parties, shall be seven per cent, per annum,
as heretofore allowed by law.
Sec. 3. Whenever the parties to any note,
bond or bill, or other contract or evidence
of indebtedness which bears interest shall
agree ujon any other rate of interest,
whether the same be more or less than seven
per cent., and shall insert the amount or
rate of interest soagreedupon in the written
contract, the same shall be legal and valid
to all intents and purposes, aud it shall be
tho duty of the Courts of this State to cnfurco
such contracts.
Sec. 4. And be it turther enacted, That
in no case shall more than seven per cent,
be allowed, unless the same he provided for
in the written contracts.
Mr. Belcher, a farmer living in the vi
cinity of Millen, was found dead near the
Central Railroad track at Millen, on Sun
day night the 16th ult. The back part of
the skull was mashed in. An engine had
a few minutes before been turned upen the
turn-table close to which Mr. Belcher was
found lying, but it is not known whether
he was knocked down and killed by the lo
comotive or not. He was not seen by aDy
one on the engine, but was discovered a
short time after it moved off.
Canada as a Coming State. —The
Baltimore Sun’s Washington correspondent,
under date of Monday, writes that Morton
hopes to get an opportunity this week to de
liver the speech he tas prepared on his res
olution calling for the trade statistics be
tween the United States and Canada. It is
understood that this speech is more of a po
litical than a ccmmercial nature, and it is
alleged that in it Mr. Morton will take
ground in favov of the annexation of Cana
da. It is further said that the Senator docs
not, as might be supposed, reflect the views
of the President in this matter, hut that it
is his keynote for the campaign of 1876,
with the view to his own aspirations as a
presidential candidate. Well informed
parties, however, say in reference to the
feeling in Canada on annexation, that there
is much less of a disposition there for polit
ical association with this Republic than was
the case a few years ago. The high taxes,
the cost of living, and the present manner of
governing the United States, do not seem
to suit the tastes of the Canadians.
A remarkable series of accidents is rela
ted to have occurred one night last week, at
Elizabeth, New Jersey. A Mr. Wells had
retired for the night, when, shortly after
wards Mrs. Wells complained of a feeling
of numbness in her limbs andreque-ted her
husband to help her across the floor. About
halt way across the room he expressed some
fears, when she told him not to be afraid,
and immediately dropped dead at his feet.
He gave an alarm, and a neighbor, an old
lady, in crossing the street to his assistance,
fell, breaking her left arm in two places and
her right collar bone. Her son, a young
man, heard her scream, and rushing out. of
the house to her aid, fell against the half
open door, breaking his nose and rebound
ing senseless to the floor. Dr. Kendall,
hastening to the help of the sufferers, also
two of his ribs, aud had to be
carried off.
The Southern Census. — At every ses
sion of Congress since the close ot the war
the effort has been made to secure authority
for the payment of the census-takers of 1860
in the Southern States. The effort finally
succeded m the last days of the last session,
but it does not seem to be generally known,
although quite a number of people are inter
ested in it.
A circular was sent from the census office
in Washington on Wednesday to all persons
interested, setting forth that “Congress, by
an act approved March 3d, 1873, has au
thorized the payment, without proof of loy
alty of claims for compensation on account
of services at the census of I860,” and giv
ing instructions concerning the preparation
of claims by the claimants or their heirs.
Important Decision. — A corespond
ent, who was present at the Talbot County
Circuit Court recently, reports that Judge
James Johnson delivered an opiuion in fa
vor of the unconstitutionality of the law
which makes it a misdemeanor for one plan
ter to hire a treeduian who is already under
contract to another. Two cases of this kind
came up on the call of the criminal docket
yesterday and the day before, and Judge
Johnson nolprossed them both.
Butler and the Extra Pay. —A
Washington letter says: It is given out
that General Butler is preparing, and will
make public in a few days, a letter on the
extra pay business. As is well known, he is
charged with “settingup” the whole thing.
It is said that in his manifesto the General
will make no attempt to deny this soft im
peachment, but will assume his full share
of the responsibility, and that he proposes
to show up, in his characteristic style, the
course of some of his colleagues.
The New Y"ork Tribune says that al
though Foster had never been at all partic
ular in his dress, yet finding on this last
morning—in this last hour of his life—a
button missing from his shirt, he called a
prison-keeper, Matthew Daly, and waited
patiently while one was sewed on. Then,
glancing at his boots, he remarked they
“looked shabby,” and had them polished.
Another Nathans Case. —Charles
Goodrich, a widower, living aione in one of
a block of brown stone houses belonging to
him in Brooklyn, was found dead in his
dwelling with a bullet hole through his head
and other marks of violence on his body,
the morning Foster was hanged in New
York.
An entire block of wooden buildings, on
the public square in Madison, was con
sumed by fire on the 15th. The property
was owned by A. G. Foster and Lester Mar
ham. The loss on merchandise was light
and there was some insurance on the store.
The total loss is about twelve thousand dol
lars.
To be Carried Up. —The recent decis
ion of Judge Erskine, establishing as a rule
ot his court the right and duty ot the Uni
ted States Marshal to draw negroes as jury
men, is likely to be reargued before Judge
Woods. If the decision is again unfuvora
blc, it is said that the case will be earned to
the Supreme Court.
General Garlington of Atlanta has writ
ten a drama, said to possess a high order of
merit. It is now in the hands of the prin
ter, and will soon appear. It embraces
the period of Beast Butler’s reign in
New Orleans, aud will no doubt create a
sensation.
The Public Engineer in Washington
says he will arrive in Atlanta about the first
ot May to arrange the details, and will in
time commence the new customhouse build
ing.
The maddest man in Camden is Smith.
He wound up his clock reglariy every night
lor fifteen years, and then discovered that it
was an eight-day clock.
Rev. S. S. Wilson, D. D., Pastor of the
First Presbyterian Church of Atlanta, was
stricken by apo lexy on Tuesday, and in is a
critical condition. Dr. Wilson is near eighty
years of age.
“Mamma,” said an intelligent little girl,
“what is the meaning of a book being prin
