Now Stock Law for Eiberton.
A law was enacted recently by the
Town Council to prevent horses, mules,
etc., from running loose in the streets ;
which law was intended to go into ef ■
feet on Saturday last. On that day two
to a gentleman living
ou the public square, were taken up by
tho Marshal, who carried them to their.j
owner for the purpose of collecting the |
line. Upon being informed that he had \
violated the law, the owner disclaimed j
any such intention, and so positively de :
dared his ignorance of the existence of
such a law that, the Marshal let him off i
What business man will neglect his ,
business jto around go scrutinising door
posts and window shutters to make him- j

town?
Tho Council lost a fine in this in
stance sufficiently large to cover the
cost of advertising the law.

“I Ain’t Got Long to Stay Hera."
When a gentleman comes among us
and establishes a business, an 1 makes
no professions that he does not substan
tiato by tbe best of proof, be never fails
to command the respect and patronage
of the good people of our town and vi
cinity. Such a personage is Mr. John
A. Wren, tbs photographer, who- has ex
hibited his skill as an artist to the satis
faction of many of our people by the
elegant work ho has turned off at his
gallery for them. In a few weeks ha
expects to leave tow >, but before be
goes he cordially invites all that want a j
good picture made to give him a call at ;
an early period, for to reiterate the j
language of the text, lie “uin t got long
to stay here.”
The Sociable.
The young men about town are male
ing arrangements for a social gathering
to°tako place one night during the com
mencement here, and from the character
of the com mi tee appointed to do the
most important part of the business, it
bids fair to be a brilliant affair. Tho
entertainments given by the young men
of Eiberton in the past about this season
of the yar have been very pleasant, and
we doubt not but this will be an occasion
with as much enjoyment in store for par
ticipants as any previous gathering of a
like character.“ In due time we will give
notice through those columns of the
date.
Tbe Concert.
Eibertcn is to have a musical enter
tainment about tho time of the "om
menceruent that from the talent en
gaged promises to bo an exhibition of
rare merit. The musicians are devoting
much attention to the preparations es
sentiai in making the entertainment i>.
success, and those who are fond of good
music would do well to attend the con
cert. The proceeds are to be donated
to a charitable purpose, and this only
serves to make the occasion more popu
lar and servo as an incentive to cause
many to be present whon the time is ai
hand.
The card of Mr. F. A. F. Nobletc will
be found in this paper. He proposes to
do work in stone and brick, to the satis
faction of the employer and at reasona
ble rates. We hope he may find plenty
of w@rk- _____

The Action of tbe Town Council on the ITui
sance Question.
At the meeting of the Town Council
of Eiberton, held on Friday last, to con
sider what should bo done with tho cab
ins and shops on tbe street leading by
the jail. There was a very respect
able number of citizens present, whose
testimony was unanimous as to the place
being a nuisance. No one was present
to make any argument for the property.
After hearing ihe opinions of the cit
izens the Council adjourned till evening,
at which time they proposed to take ac
tion on the question.
In the evening meeting, an order was
passed required the houses to be closed
by the Ist day of July next, and that
the owners of the houses be required to
remove the buildings by the Ist day of
September next, failirg in which the
Marshal is directed to have them re
moved at tho expense of the owners A
said houses. *
This order embraces all the buildings
on the the land known as public mud
between the jail and the male academy.
We have heard, since this order was
passed, that the question will be contes
ted before the courts, in relation to
boundary, etc.,, by some of the parties
interested
On every hand wo hear tbe Council
applauded for its prompt action, and
whatever may be the result of that ac
ticn, they may rely on the almost unani
mous support of the people of Elber
ton.

Another County Court Gasu
“For ways that are dark and tricks
that are vain,” not “the Chinese aione
are pecuiier,” because there are some
sons M Africa who can hold a hand with
Ah Sin and discount him on the sleeve
trick. Alexander Rucker, a son of Ebon,
being short of something to eat, made
an engagement with a husbandman be
lew Eiberton to work for him for a stip
ulated time and price, and on the
strength c-f such engagement drew a
week's rations. Then he made a flank
movement with the intention of evading
the fulfilment of that portion of the
contract which required work of him.
He found his match, ho wever, for that
active officer and shrewd detective, Col.
Hammond, was set on him and speedily
brought him down.
We learn that this case has been com
promised- and Aleck has now the priv
ilege of enacting tho same swindle over

A Fifteenth Amendment “Harnsased.”
One Tom Thompson, a dark-hued far
mer, purchased some time since a set
of plough gear front Tom Mattox, a near
neighbor in color and country. Some
time aftewards the vendor of the gear
discovered that he could dispose of an
other-set, and he straightway proceeded
to feloniously appropriate the set ho had j
sold to Thompson, and sold it to an- j
other purchaser. This business might j
have been carri.d on to this day, and
Mattox might have supplied tho whole
country with gear at reduced rates and
yet at a good profit, but Thompson did
not like for Toni the 2d to make a for
tunejjso easy at his expense, and entered
a protest, drawn up very much in the
shape of a warrant, which resulted in
Mattox being summoned before tbe
County Court to answer to the charge
of simple larceny. The case is set for
next .Saturday.
The envy of some people at the suc
cess of others is past comprehension.
Mr. Charles Nordhoff, in his last let
ter on Louisiana affairs, in the New
York Herald, touches upon the question
of the safety of Northern men among
alleged cut throats in that State. He
shows, after his usual patient and dis
passionate investigation, that in Natchi
toches parish, which had such a bad rep
ntation last year, the most of the mur
ders of negroes were perpetrated by ne
groes themselves. Of forty one murders
committed in the parish in the last seven
years there were thirteen of colored by
| colored, thirteen of whites by whites,
j four of whites by colored, three of color
j ed by whites, one Indian by a white
man, a negro by a party unknown, and
three officers killed while attempting to
serve warrants. This is a fair clew to the
misrepresentation which was going on
for so long under the auspices of the
“outrage” press, which published letters
from the very parish referred to, giving
particulars of murder after murder of ne
groes by Southern white men,- until the
number of the murdered ran up into the
hundreds. General Sheridans list of
i 3.500 political murders of negroes by
whites, was made up from the state
ments in the outrage organs. Mr
Nordhoff has carefully investigated the
! facts, and has, as we have seen, furnished
a complete refutation of General Sheri
dan's assertions and the ghostly narra
tives of the outrage organs.

The importance of the coming Ohio
State election is recognized all over the
Union. Since Pennsylvania votes in No
vember, with all the rest of the States,
she has lost tbe prestige she once enjoy
ed. The New York Herald, in an article
on the subject says:
By the growth of its population Ohio
has become almost as important a State
as Pennsylvania, and so long as it shall
continue to hold October elections, .it
will be the battlefield of our political
contests. * * * Both parties , are
certain to pour all their forces into Ohio
in October, and the result of the contest
will virtually decide the next Presiden
tial election. A great Democratic vic
tory in Ohio in October this year would
insure corresponding victories in most
of the States which hold elections in No
vember, and paralyze the hopes of the
Republican party.

Elbbbton, Ga , May 14th, ’75.
Mb. Editor. Dear Sir :
If you will allow me a small space in
your most excellent columns, I will en
deavor to give you au account of a flying
trip to Toccoa City, Ga.
In the first place, then, I will state
that the crops en route from Eiberton to
the city are looking flourishing andjquit.e
promising. Corn and cotton for the
most part is not very tall, but is pos
sessed of a good color and promises a
rich harvest to* the industrious husband
man.
Wheat crops are very excellent, and
to tbe consumers of this article of diet
we would say rejoice in the prospect of
being able to indulge the appetite to its
utmost. The reapers are busily engaged
preparing the sheaves to bethreshed r aud
the grain to be garnered.
We were much astonished by a sign
posted on a country store not a great
distance frera our town informing those
who wished to purchase goods fi\,m the
proprietor that the spondulix must be
antied m the form of “No credit here,”
the peculiarity of the lettering and the
rustic board on which sign the is printed
reminding us of “Auld lang sine.”
The railroad is in pretty good condi
tion, though we noticed several consider
able washes by the late heavy rains and
greatly fear if the track is not soon laid
that some of the present work will be
again to complete, though the writer
was happy to observe a great number
of the cross timbers lying near the rail
road bed, probably from about six to
eight miles from the city, which proves
that these enterprising people mean
business.
Last but not the least Toccoa City
from all appearances and from the
amount of business transacted, and for
a city so young in the history of nations,
in coming time is bound to stretch her
arms like seas and grasp in all the
world.
We noted the erection of new build
ings, among the principal of which was
the commodious and spacious hotel of
that most enterprising and energetic of
men as well as the most accommodating
of hosts, Maj. Davenport, once a citizen
of bur tow a.
We also met up with our old friend
and fellow-citizen, Mr. John S. Brown,
than whom the world never produced a
more magnanimous soul and we are
proud to state that friend John is run*
sing a good schedule in the business of
tin.
Mr. Editor, for fear of worrying your
patience and at the same time presenting
you our heartfelt thanks for past favors,
we close this episode, wishing you a hap
py and prosperous journey through
life. Very respectfully,
A. E. H.
An intoxicated German was put in jail
in Passaic, New Jersey, Sunday, for
pointmg an empty pistol at citizens in
the street, but escaped through a small
hole in the roof, from which he fell on a
pile of rocks. Covered with blood and
clad only in a shirt, he ran through the
streets He was again captured and
again escaped from the lock up. He was
captured a third time, handcuffed and
shackled to a staple, but in a short time
after had disappeared, taking his irons
with him.

Woman's Wit.
Not a thousand years ago, a blood
from one of the cities of Georgia drove
into our sister village, Danielsville. He
was gorgeously arrayed and rode behind
a dashing charger.
Stopping his handsome equipage in
the public square, and standing up in
his buggy he thus soliloquized :
“Well, I've found at last a finished
town, the sound of workmen has not
been heard in this precinct in years.—
This town is completely finished and
done ”
About this time an old lady near by,
answered him thusly:
“Yes, we did think this town wis fin
ished, and we reckon it is no-v, we lacked
a fool, and now we’ve got that. Yes it’s
done.”
Young America saw the point and
went his way, but not rejoicing.

as thej narrator began, the crowd with
one accord spoke of Beecher, Tilton and

The anxious*listeners crowded around
him and plied him more assiduously
with questions concerning Grant and
the Tlurd Term, and the Miners’ Strike.
The conflict deepened, and tbe last we
heard was that Grant ran away with the
Centennial Strike, and Beochcr broke a
Tbirde Term out of Tilton's Miners. So
mote it be.

An incident, of Breckinridge’s latter
life, never before published, was related
to ue a uay or two since, in Reading, Pa
Mr. Clyiner, had just received his news
paper mail announcing the death of Gen

dwelling, and remarked upon tho sad in
telligence, the relations of these gentle
men in Congress and elsewhere having
ever been cordial and intimate. Said
he: “The last time I saw General Breck
inridge was a fsw years since, wo were
sojourning at the Clarendon Hotel, New
York, a favorite resort for prominent
members of the Democratic party. I
had been reading the morning papers,
and as General B. entered the breakfast
room, I remarked ; ‘Well, General, I see
you were down yesterday to see Mr.
Horace Greeley at the Tribune office.’
His response was instant and full of
emotion: ‘Yes, sir,’ Baid be, ‘I went
down to see Mr. Greeley, and never have
I made a visit that afforded me more
genuine pleasure, for never was visitor
more cordially received. After the late
unfortunate war betweenithe Northern
and Southern sections of the United
States, you know I was compelled to flee
for my safety. While in Paris, without
home or country, I received a letter from
Greeley, filled with most tender expres
sions of regard and sympathy, urging
me to return to my home. Come back,
he wrote : go to your own beloved Ken
tucky, aid in restoring the shattered
fortunes of the South and your country,
and I will be respunsible for your safe
ty, and insure your immunity from mo
lestation and arrest. Now I submit to
you, Mr Clviner, could I have done oth
erwise than call upon Horace Greeley,
or shall I ever cease to respect and cher
ish him.’ ”

DAVIS ON SHEBMAN.
[St Louis limes. 4th.]
Memphis, Tbnx., May 27, 1875.
Col. W. F. Mellen:
My Dear Sir. —Please accept my
thanks for your kind letter of the 19th
inst., and the accompanying copy of a
St. Louis paper containing an extract
from the forthcoming work of Gen. W.
T. Sherman. My absence delayed the
receipt of your letter and this reply to it.
The malice that seeks to revive the
nefariously concocted and long since ex
ploded slander which connected my
name with the assassination of President
Lincoln is quite in character with the
man who 60 conducted his invasion of
the South as to render “Sherman's
bummer’s" the synonym of pillage, ar
son, cruelty to the helpless, and murder
ofnon combatants, and who closed his ca
reer of arson with a false accusation
against Hampton in regard to the burn
ing of Ck lambi a, S. C.
But the question arises, why did Gen
! aral Sherman at the date of his reported
| conversation with Gen. J. E. Johnston,
| suppose me capable of complicity in the
1 assassination of President Lincoln ?
; Gen. Sherman never was personally
| acquainted with me; and from those
| who knew me, either in the United
j States army or in civil life, surely learn
led nothing to justify such suspi
cion. In the conduct of the war bo
tween the States, despite of many bace
: less accusations, we can proudly point
j to record which shows a strict adherence
! to the usages of war oetween civilized
j nations. On what* then, did the suspi
! cion of Gen. Sherman rest? Was it not
> that, proceeding on the rule of judging
} others by one’s self, he ascribed to me
j tho murderous and malicious traits of
| his own nature?
i He reports a conversation with Presi
dent Lincoln, from which is to be infsr
| red a desire to have authority for depart
j ing from the course which, as a sol
■ dier, he must have known was usual and
! proper towards prisoners of war. Did
he hope to get instructions for the
slaughter of the Confedi racy’s President
and Cabinet officers, aa set forth m the
orders or Col. Dnhlgren, when he made
his raid against Richmand ? If the good
natured characteristic reply of President
Lincoln taught him that murder was not
the approved measure, it seems to have
failed to inspire him with the generosity
clia ity which are ever found in noble and
j minds, or with the chivalry which ever
| adorns the character of the tiue soldier
i and gentleman.
Among the articles of the surrender of
Gen. J. E. Johnston, there was one pro
Ilibitmg military expeditions in the conn
try east of the Chattahoocliie river.
Tnat was the best consideration obtained
for the surrender of armies, arms, muni
tions, and, manufactories in that section,
and it was in violation of that article
that the brigade scouring the country
and freely taking fr*m the unprotected
people tee little which was left- to them
for their future subsistence. From the
statement of Gen. Sherman we learn
that a story had been told, to the effect
that I was carrying in wagons milli<s>ns
of specie to the South, and therefore we
are left to conclude was made that ex.
pedition in the agreement of
surrender. Though the story of the
millions of specie is now admitted by
Gen. Sherman to have been a fiction, the
admission is made in such terms as would
lead the reader to suppose I was traveling
with wagon trunspotation and had a few
thousandjdollars of specie in avalise. But
neither supposition would be true. I had
recently joined the wagon train, and was
about to leave it when captured ; my
only baggage was a Yalise, which was
packed on a mule, and it contained no
specie. The few thousand dollars of
specie were in a pair of saddle-bags, be
longing to Secretary Reagan. Whether
ihat money ever reached the United
States Treasury, Mr. Reagan, from
whom it was taken, may be able to learn
aftrr he shall havo assumed his functions
as a representative in the United States
Congress.
Should the course of the commanding
general of the army, in attempting, at
this late day, to resuscitate a defunct slan
der agamst the President of the late Con
faderacy, and to which slander not even
suborned witnesses could give the sem
blance of truth, be taken as the expo
nent of the feeling of the army, that arm
of the General Government would seem
to bo ill suited to the task, of lato so
largely assigned to it, of preserving civil
order, and of restoring harmony among
the peoples of the United Staten. For
public considerations it is to be hoped
that tbe ineradicable malignity of Sher
man may be an exception to the prevail
ing sentiments of the United Slates ar
my.
Again thanking you for your friendly
consideration, I am very truly yours,
