The highest points in New York city are
Trinity steeple, the Western Union Telegraph

Sewing Machine is just. 38] incites. It is not a
very tall affair compared with those above men

mation of those who use it.
A Would-be Legislator comes to Grief,
He Shoulders five Bales of Ootton and
Walks off on his Ear.
No little wonder was created in the'
county last week by the statement that
Col. Nathan Thompson, the recent Rad
ical candidate for the Legislature, had
vamoosed, leaving his crop ungathered
and liia creditors mourning. He left
no message nor gave any reason for leav
ing. Five bales of cotton, which he had
gathered and ginned, he carried off with
him. It is supposed by some that from
his intimate relations with President
Grant and other political dignitaries at
Washington, he has been induced to go
to that city to secure an office, which was
denied to him by ungrateful constituents.
The county mourns its wasting great
ness.
A Mystery.
We once heard a darkie approach a
friend with the statement that he had a
mystery be wished him to solve. Upon
request being made, he stated the case
as follows:
Hejhad salted some pork in a'hogshead
in his cellar, and after several days lie
visited the barrel to get out a piece, but
to his surprise, after fishing about in the
brine, lie could not find a single piece of
the meat. liaising the barrel be found
the rats had gnawed a hole in the bottom
and had thus carried of all his meat.
“But, Jake,” says the friend, “how is
it do brine didn’t run out froo do hole? ’
“Dat’s it, Jim ; dat’s de mystery.”
See the point ?
The County Court.
This legal machine has been engaged
for several days in the trial of rioters,
who, it seems, got into a general row in
the vicinity of Munro’s store, in the
lower part of the county. The follow-,
ing negroes have been convicted for par
ticipating in this little frolic : King Mor
rison, Nathan Morrison, Daniel W. Mor
rison, Geo. Morrison. They were each
sentenced to pay a fine of $lO and costs.
Chas. Morrison, who was also arrested
for the same offence, managed to make
his escape from the officer in charge
while on the way to town.
Geo. Burton and Burton have
also been convicted same offence,
and sentenced to pay a fine of $5 and
costs, which was"promptly paid.

Floating Down the River.
The body of an unknown negro was
found floating x down the Savannah, on
Sunday last,'near Capt. W. 11. Mattox’s
plantation. H. A. Roebuck, Esq., went
down there yesterday for the pm pose of
summoning a jury of inquest. It is not
at all unlikely that this is one of South
Carolina’s Democratic negroes who has
been put out of -the way, as the work
of intimidation must go on.
She Stole her own Clothes.
Hester Martin, a colored lady who
resides above Elberton, married against
her mother’s will, and the old lady re
fused to let her have her clothes. But
Hester last week went to her mother’s
house, and purloined the retained ward
robe, which so incensed the old lady that
she got out a warrant for her daughter,
and Hester was lodged in jail on Mon
day to await trial.
GOOD CLOCKS BV MAIL.
No man or woman can afford to be without a
time-piece of some kind in this fast’age, and wo
see no good reason why Colman Smith’s rhirly
hour clock, which he sends safely by mail is
not just the thing for the teeming millions. They
keep excellent time, and the more you become
acquainted with its face, the more you will be
pleased with its general appearance. By hang
ing it where it can he seen and compared with
one of higher cost, yon will find it will keep
even with the old friend every time. They are
certainly the nicest looking clock ever seen for
so little money.
He has one in boxboard covers, called the
“Excelsior” for $2, a solid black walnut or ma
ple case, called the “Dwarf” for $1.50, the
“Jewel,” round, metal, imitation gold, $3, and
the “Nutshell,” an elegant octagon morocco
case for $3-50. They are all detached lever es
capements of careful constiuction and are guar
anteed accurate and reliable time keepers. They
will run in any position and are suitable for any
place where correct time is desired. The edit
or of the American Agriculturist endorses them
highly. They will be sent by mail, postage
paid, on receipt of the price by addressing Col
umn Smith. Few Haven, Conn.

ESCAPED!
John Brawner Walks Through the Key-holes
and gets out of Jail.
It was difficult to believe the statement
given out last Thursday morning in El
berton that John Brawner, in jail await
ing the action of the court, having been
convicted of stealing $l,lOO, had made
his escape from our jail, and the most
difficult of belief was that the doors were
all locked, and no sign whatever existed
of his escape save that ho was not in his
cell.
John lodged in the cell with another
negro—Thornton by name—who being
question by the jailor on Thurday morn
ing, stated that John and he went to bed
together Tuesday night, but that when
he awoke Wednesday morning John was
gone, and that was all he knew. The
matter of the escape is shrouded in mys
tery, which will not be explained until
the prisoner is recaptured. Several ne
groes outside have made statements, but
until they can be reconciled we will not
give them publicity. John is a shrewd
negro and will be hard to catch, but we
have confidence of his capture.
The ’ Sheriff has offered a reward of
SIOO for his recapture.

Peace to her ashes.
Stealing.
The amount of stealing now going on
among the more depraved negroes of the
county is startling. The punishment
for this offense must be greater or the
honest people will find it impossible to
raise enough provisions for the thieves.

For The Gazette.]
Mr. Editor : An account of one’s trav
els is sometimes interesting, and is now
of increased interest provided the trav
eler has not been to the “Centennial.”
Last Sunday your correspondent left
old Elberton, and journeying towards
the setting sun, arrived about 9 o’clock
at Crawford, where he had the pleasure
of meeting you, Mr. Editor.
At 11, p. in., in company with several
other delegates lie boarded the train and
speeded onward to Atlanta, the city of
Georgia.
Although our advent into this “city
| set upon a bill,” was accomplished with
; much noise, loud ringing of bells and
j blowing of whistles, accompanied by
| much dust and more confusion, Atlanta
! survived it all. No notice of our arrival
| was heralded and we retired to our quiet
* room at the National without so much
| as making a speech to a “large and entliu
! siastic concourse of citizens.”
| A few hours spent in the Gate City
I convinced us of the fact, that not yet
j bad she reached the climax of her
| splendor. On every hand was the spirit
; of improvement. In places the temporary
buildings that once sufficed for the do
! mands of business were being torn down
j and massive edifices of brick and stone
; supplying their places, while in the su
j burbs, house after house was being built,
' the city widening its area, and stretch
ing out its mighty arms to include the
i surrounding country.
I tell you, Mr. Editor, Atlanta is a big
j place, and it is bound to grow. The
| Cotton Factory is another improvement
|in this wondrous place, and a most
j splendid building it is, Kimball or no
| Kimball.
j But we have time only for a glance at
i this town, and at 1:35 we leave it behind
| ns and gaily speed toward West Point
j over the A. & W.P. PHI. Journeying thith-
I envard we passed the beautiful villages
jof Newman, Hogansville, Grantville,
j Fairbiirn and Lagrange, and to reach
! our destination crossed the Chatt
i ahoochee.
West Point is built upon both sides
i of the Chattahoochee river, and is a low,
! marshy and apparently unhealthy place.
| Although an acquaintance with its in
habitants authorizes me to correct this
appearance, for they are healthy in looks
and too hospitable and good-natured over
to have suffered much from sickness.
Our business at West Point was to
attend a session if the Grand Lodge of
the I. O. G. TANARUS., and at the depot we were
met by a deputation of citizens who car
lied us to their homes, and treated us
with that consideration the friend and
not the “sometimes guests” deserve.
Individually we were entertained by
the Rev. Mercer Calloway, and we shall
never forget his kindness to us. Him
self, his wife, Lis beautiful daughters,
and his entire family rendered friend
D. and myself under obligations no
length of time can efface
The session of the Grand Lodge was
a quiet one, and right here, Mr. Editor,
allow mo to remark, Good Templarism
is a bigger thing than many people think,
and had some of the enemies -of the or
der seen the delegates in attendance
their opinion of the order and the ma
larial composing it would doubtless un
dergo a change.
At West Point we saw some traces of
the late unpleasantness. On the west
bank of the Chattahoochee stands the
remains of an old fort where the last
fight of the war took place, in which
Gen’l Tyler and several subordinates
lost their lives.
Thursday we retraced’our steps, stop
ping long enough to witness the per
formance of Mail. Rcntz’ Can-Can
Troupe, and arriving in Athens Friday
moiming.
Athens was full to overflowing with
business, of which I observed Reeves &
Nicholson had the lion’s share.
We stepped into the “Georgian” office,
but could find neither Col. Carlton nor
friend O Farrell,both absent on business,
while their place was filled by that
prince of gentlemen, Capt. Ritch. Leav
ing Athens wo arrived home in time for
court Saturday morning.
Beg pardon, Mr. Mae, but we are done
at last. Yours,
John Quill.
A LETTER PROM GOV. TILDEN.
Governor Tilden Las addressed to
Hon. Abram S. Hewitt a letter dated
October 24, declaring his position in
regard to the Southern claims. He
quotes the fourteenth amendment of the
Constitution ; points to the fact that it
has been repeatedly approved by the
Democratic State Committees of the
South, and was adopted as a part of the
platform of the last National Democratic
Convention, which declared it to be uni
versally accepted as a final settlement.
Gov. Tilden, after citing his own public
declarations on the subject previously
made, says:
Should I be elected President the
provisions of the fourteenth amend
ment will, so far as depends on me, be
maintained, excuted and enforced in
perfect and absolute good faith. No
rebel debt will be assumed or paid.
No claim for the loss or emancipation
of any slave will be allowed. No claim
for any loss or damage incurred by
disloyal persons, arising from the late
war, whether covered by the fourteenth
amendment or not, will be recognized
or paid. The cotton tax will not be re
funded. I shall deem it my duty to
veto every bill providing for the as
sumption or payment of anv such
debts, losses, damages, claims, or for
the refunding of any such tax. The
danger to the national treasury is not
from claims of persons who aided the
rebellion, but from claims of per
sons residing in the Southern States,
or havirg property in those States,
who were, or pretended to be, or
who, for the sake of aiding claims,
now pretend to have been loyal to the
Government of the Union. Such claims,
even of loyal persons, where they arc
from acts caused by the operations of
war, have been disowned by the public
law of civillized nations, condemned by
j the Supreme Court of the United
| States, and only find any status by
force of specific legislation of Congress.
These claims have become stale, and
are often tainted with fraud. They
are nearly always owned in whole or
part by claim agents, by speculators
or lobbyists, who have no equity against
the tax 'payers or the public. They
should iu all cases lie scrutinized with
zealous care. The calamities to indi
viduals, which were inflicted by the late
war, are for the most part irreparable.
The Government cannot recall to life
the millions of our youth who went to
untimely graves, nor compensate the
sufferings or sorrows of their relatives
and friends. 11 cannot readjust between
individuals the burdens of taxation
hitherto borne or of debts incurred to
sustain the Government which are yet
to be paid. It cannot apportion anew
among our citizens the damages or loss
es incident to military operations or re
suiting in every variety of form from
its measures for maintaining its own
existence. It has no safe general rule
but to let bygones be bygones, to turn
from the dead past to anew and better
future, andon that basis to assure peace,
reconciliation, fraternity between all sec
tions, classes and races of our people to the
end that all the springs of our produc
tive industries may be quickened and a
new prosperity created, in which the
evils of the past shall be forgotten.
[ Signed] Samuael J. Tilden.
