Another Death. Died on Wednesday, the 28th inst., in Ituckersville, Miss Zee Christian, aged 48 years, 8 months and 5 days. Her home was in Elberton, but she had been on a visit to some friends in the country and was on her return home when she stopped to see an intimate friend in Ituckersville, and during her stay there contracted the disease from which she died. Few ladies possess so many commendable traits of character as did this worthy lady, and a host of friends mourn her loss. To her rela tives we proffer our sincere sympathy in their liour of bereavement. Peace to her remains! - Editorial Be^ponsibility.

We, however, do not propose to discuss this. The people, no doubt, will give this matter mature thought, aud whatever may be their decision we will cheerfully acquiesce in. But what we wish is toVlirect the attention of the people of Elbert county to the man to represent us should a convention be held. We have a host of good men iu the county ; men who would do honor to any people ; but while this is all true, we have but few men altogether suitable for this very particular and very impor tant work, and, indeed, as we look at it, there are comparatively few men in Geor gia who come fully up to the standard. But we do not say this in disparagement of the people of Georgia, for we believe her the greatest State in the Union, and her people inferior to none in all the el ements that go to make up great, good, and uoblo people. Georgia has many great and good men, and we believe she has to-day in the U. S. Senate the great est man on the continent. We want a good man, a true man, a man of expe rience in whom the people have confi dence, a man who will give the best sat isfaction to the greatest number of peo ple. Have we got such a man ? W e certainly have a good many; but one we think peculiarly fitted forjthe business— a self-made man ; a man of intelligence and worth, who has done well for him self and well for the people whenever he has been called upon to act for them ; a man of great experience in the practical part of life, and we believe the very man to assist in framing a constitution for the people of Georgia. He is not a man of much display, but rather a retired man ; not much of a speaker, but in con versation inferior to but few, if any ; a firm, solid man, of whom any people might be proud. Such a man is Ool v Thomas J. Bowman. Let us rally to his. standard and send him. Junius. “You come recommended, I suppose!” said agentleman to a boy who wanted an easy place. “O, yes, sir ; the man I was with last recommended me ; he recom mended me to leave, and get work more congenial with my disposition." TEE RIOT IN OGLETHORPE. AN AUTHORISED STATEMENT OF THE AFFAIR. Lexington, Ga., April 2.—Soon after the in auguration of Hayes a large number of negroes held a ratification meeting in this place. In flammatory and higli’y improper speeches were made, the most objectionable among them being that of their leader, Luke Johnson. He is a young man, but has considerable influence over the people of his race. Notwithstanding the speeches, the negroes were not in any way dis turbed or interfered with but were permitted to to say what they pleased. Ever since that oc casion the house in which Johnson resided, in the town of Crawford, in this county, has been frequently, at night, the assembling place of many armed negroes, and it has been more and more apparent that something,unlawful was in tended. This negro recently sent a communi cation which he doubtless meant as a demand for the postoilice, to Mr. Harris J. Pace, the.nost mastcr at Crawford, though it was 4 rather a ob scure document. Mr. Pace says he has received no information from the Post Ottied- Department of the appointment of Johnson, nor does he be lieve that lie has been appointed, and a numer ously signed petition not to appoint him was forwarded to the Postmaster-General. Mr. Key’s Democracy would find an exceeding poor mani festation in giving this office to an incompetent, vicious and dangerous negro, who is at this time to every good citizen of the community the most distasteful person that could be selected, There is little doubt, however, that it was Luke’s purpose to get possession of the office, and mat ters have been approaching a culmination for several days, till the night of the 30th or March. About the hour of one o’clock that night Mr. Jasper Hopkins, the marshal of Crawford, find ing that at least twenty colored men, thoroughly armed with guns and pistols, were at Luke’s house, determined to ascertain what this assem blage at this late hour meant. He had reason for fearing that violence was contemplated and wished to prevent its occurrence. Accompanied by Mr. J. M. Norton, Mr. Jno. Norton. Me. Jno. Stokeiy Mr. It. H. Vickers and Mr. J. J. Dillard, whom htjjhad summoned, he'wentto the place of meeting. He was somewhat in advance of the others and walking right into the midst of the negroes imformed them calmly, but firmly, that he was marshal; that their conduct was itrtprop er; that they must disperse, and that there must be peace and quiet in the town, or words to that effect. One of the negroes cried, “Halt I’’ an other, “Fire I” and then a yell was raised, and with shouts of “Shoot them, kill the damned white men,” they fired a volley upon the mar shal and the men who were with him. Those of the white men who were armed re turned the fire, but it is not known that any of the negroes were hit. From the number of shots fired it is clear that all, or nearly all, of the ne groes.; shot at the marshal and his compan ions. One witness testified *hat there were forty or fifty shots in ail. Mr. Hopkins was shot in four places, severely but not mortally. Two balls or buck-shot struck his head—one on each side just above the temple; one went into his right hand, and another into one of his arms. The wounds iti the head were made by balls that fortunately glanced, and uid not entet the skull, but Mr, Hopkins thought at first they were made by the same ball, entering at one place and coming out at the oilier, aud they did pre sent ;iliat appearance. He acted with great coolness and gallantry, and fired several times with his left hand after his right was disabled. Mr. J. M. Norton was shot in the leg and arm with small shot, painfully, but not dangerously'. Other members ol the party weie grazed or shot in the clothiiag, but not injured. The wounded men were removed and cared for, the town aroused, and messengers were sent to Lexington for assistance. Our citizens were awakened about 2 o’clock, and many of them proceeded at once tb Crawford, and on reaching there found the negroes had dispersed and taken to flight. Some of the gentlemen who accompanied the marshal, in answer to a question by the writer, why they should have gone in such a small number, and with so few of them armed to such a large crowd of armed negroes, replied that they did Dot expect so sudden and unprovoked an attack on them as the negroes made. On Saturday morning several arrests were made, and a court of inquiry held at Crawford by R. A. McMahan, N. P. and ex-otlicio J. P. Col. J. D. Mathews and the undersigned appeared for the State, and Messrs. W. G. Johnson and J. T. Olive for the prisoners. It is proper to state that these gentlemen acted under appointment by the Court and at the urgent request of Col. Mathews and myself. It was desired by all to give the negroes a fair and impartial hearing, aud it was accordingly right and proper they should have counsel. Five were committed to jail for assault with intent to murder and one discharged The principal witness to the iden tity of the defendants was Hattie Bell, a woman of their own color. Since then much addition al evidence has been disclosed from a source which should not, at present, be made public. It is sufficient to Shy that it confirms the guilt of the parties already committed and implicates several others. It also developes the fact that since the inauguration of Hayes a secrect socie ty of negroes, which has been in existence for about two years has had in contemplation acts of incendiarism and other crimes. The leader of this society and of the recent riot, Luke John son, is still at large. He is a medium sized, young looking, very sleek faced, very black ne gro, with a few straggling hairs on hi3 chin. For the last two days the air has been filled with rumors of all kinds. The jail has been diligently guarded and our people are on the alert. The leading facts have been stated, but there are many other facts and circumstances which go to show that this community has been in serious clanger f.>r some time. Our citizens are determined to take this matter in hand and break up this unlawful conspiracy at once and effectually. There is not the slightest particle of excuse for the conduct of the negroes. Uni versal peace and good order was prevailing; nobody was disturbing or interfering with them in any way. On the contrary, much patience and forbearance (perhaps too much) has been shown towards them, and they' have certainly been accorded every right and privilege to which they were entitled, Sam’l Lumpkin. Knights of Honor. This order is spreading all over Geor gia and the entire country, and is popu lar wherever it exists. Dr. Andrews, who is announced for a lecture in Eibar ton next week, is ono of the highest of ficers of the order in the State, and we would suggest that our citizens get the doctor to explain its workings and its advantages. If it is desirous to organ ise a lodge, they can do so while Dr. Andrews is here. 15,000 Louisianians say they will not have the man Packard to rule over them. Hampton’s reception at Columbia was a grand demonstration. Chamberlain still holds on. The annual meeting of the Georgia Medical Association will be held at Ma con on the 18th inst.

MAG J POLICE PROTECTION ; DISSOLUTION OF THE GOLD-ROOM ; FOURTH AVE NUE PICKPOCKETS AND GAMBLERS) CHILDREN BEGGEHS. # Crossing over to Brooklyon on the ferry-boat the other night, I incidentally heard the follow ing remark : “Mr. Johnson, don’t you think, sir, as ’ow we’re a ’avin’ hour heconaical storm rath er berly this year ?’’ “Why,” said he, “I went out to Prospect Park last 23d of Febiuary to sue the celebration of Washington’s birthday, an’ it was one of the finest days I ever see.’’ The ac curacy of the last named statement will be keenly appreciated by the enthusiastic historical student. To say that the weather ha3 been infernal would convey no just estimate of it unless view ed from the stand-point of the inhabitants of the polar regions, who think that the country inhabited by the devil, instead of being a roar ing lake of fire, is one eternal wildervess of ice and snow, rent by perpetual storms, and raising the generally. We have been .deceived, fooled, bamboozled by somebody, and i don’t know who to hold responsible. We were led to believe in February that by this time strawber ries would be ten cents a quart, and spring shad one shilling a pair. Instead of that, here we are, at the first day of April, and people are just beginning to repair their sleighs, and my wife has ordered anew set of furs. Notwithstanding the miserable state of the weather, the news market lias been tolerably lively, and, as usual, iu the hour of our distress, Brooklyn comes nobly to the rescue with two attempts at one highway robbery, a notable shop-lifting case, an attempted suicide, and a couple of sa vory divorces, —for this help in the hour of our need, all honor to Brooklyn. At midday on Wednesday last, a lady', looking into the window of a fashionable store on Fulton street, bad her pocket-book snatched out of her hand by a re spectably dressed man; and though the robbery was witnessed by a crowd of people, the thief escaped, and has not been beard of 3ince The case of the incestuous Italian, Leon, who tried to assassinate his daughter, is still before the courts, the girl being the niece of John Kelly, the present Comptroller, aud Grand Sachem of Tammany. A high private in one of the Brook lyn regiments lias invaded the demostic pence of the captain of iiis company, and the city of churches is at fever heat with the prospect of another divorce case A ripple of' excitement was caused on Friday last by the ariest of <pne of the most beautiful girls iu Brooklyn for shop lifting For two years past stores have been depleted, and the sharpest detectives have been unable to {corner the thief. On Friday last a sweet-looking, innocent kii.d of girl, aged about sixteen, was captured, and, on searching her house, enough of stuff was discovered to set up a respectable variety store, —boots, shoes, seal skin sacks, peppermint candy, and opodeldoc, —nothing came amiss ; all was fish that tum bled into her net, and the opera-glasses and hyftin-books round among her effects were con clusive evidence that she divided her time be tween the church and the theater. It must be gratifying to the friends of moral reform to know that wrapped up in a pair of silk stock ings which she had stolen from a neghboring dry- goods store, was a religious tract, published by the Y. M. C. A., entitled “Honesty is the best policy.” Between two and three thousand stalwart policemen guard the life and property of this unfortunate and ill-govered city—private watch men patrol every block, and {stseets swarm with detectives—but a man stood a much better chance of getting off with his purse when Dick Turpin and Claude Duval ranged over Black a|id Hounslow Heaths than he does at the present day on a Fourth avenue car in its passage’jjg tween tin? street depot a,nil Bowery. I .NcA a day parses thatlstmTe and violent robbery does not take place, arid the police authorities, in the language of Tweed,fask —“What are you going to do about it?” Apro pos of Tweed, ti e State has compounded a felo ny, and the ex-Tammany king, by the time you have received this, will doubtless be a free man. Of the $6,000,000 stolen, we get back $500,000, and Tweed, reduced to poverty, with only a million or so left, must eke out a miserable ex istence as best he may. A policeman by the name ot Cleary nearly clubbed the brains out of a respectable citizen named Beatty, because he remonstrated with him about striking his dog. Beatty will likely die, and we hope the policeman'will be hung. That pool of infamy, the Gold-Room, which has been the curse of our nation fur the last fifteen years, at last has tum bled to ruin ; the|institution that brought sorrow and desolation to our land has at last gone to the , where it ought to have gone many years ago ; the halls are empty, the stalls are vacant, and the gay gamboliers of the Gold Ex change may be seen picking their teeth outside of John Morrissey’s, or trying to make a stake by capping for some ot the low dens on Chat ham or the Bowery. One of the evil features of our times is the swarms of beggar children that crowd every avenue and street. You meet these wretched little mendicants at all hours of the day and night, shivering and in rags, and all the multi plied charities of this great city are insufficient to grapple with this terrible evil. Little girls of five and six years of age, paddie through the mud with their poor, bare freezing feet, seem ingly forgotten alike by God and man. A terrible case of destitution was brought to light last week, in Brooklyn, full of romantic incidents. On the New Year’s Day of 1342, a magnificent picture was exhibited in the window of a store on Bioaaway, a few doors below Grand street. It was the portrait of a lovely girl, in bridal array, painted by Henry Inman, then in the zenith of his fame; the background, representing a dis tant landscape seen through splendid drapery had been retouched by Durand, the American Claude Lorraine. From morning till \ night crowds thronged the windows, and the question was heard oil every hand, “Who is she?” She proved to be the bride of a lich merchant who, infatuated with his new-found bliss, had paid Intnan fifteen hundred dollars for the beautiful picture which won such universal admiration. Time wore on, and the roses faded from the cheeks of the bride, but business thrived with her husband, and iu due time she found herself surrounded by three lovely daughters, .beautiful as she had been in her girlhood. Then misfortune came—her husband failed in business, and died of a broken heart. The eldest daughter, a girl of energy and spirit, gathered togetherjtbe rem nants of the wreck, and for a time battled nobly w : th impending ruin. At last she was stricken down and died. The mother was left with two daughters, one of them a helpless invalid. The other, raised in luxury, weak in body and mind, bad never been taught to do the slightest thing to aid in supporting herself. Then came the terrible race with want—article after article of jewelry went--then furniture—then dresses — and at last the house was stripped. The mother in the meantime had been stricken with paraly sis, and wa3 utterly unable to move. One day last week the second daughter died, and the youngest daughter had begged a few' pennies in the street, aud had gone to a neighboring drug stole to buy some medicine for her mother; just as she altered the house she, too, was Stricken with paralysis, and fell head foremost on the floor, nearly at her mother’s feet. The mother could not move or speak, but could only look on in horror at her daughter, as she sup posed. lying dead at her feet. And there she lay helpless, ail through the terrible freezing night; and there the mother sat and watched, and when the neighbors came in to see them in the morning, there sat the mother in her chair, her daughter lying at her feet, and before all, faded and worn, the picture that Henry Inman had painted of the bride nearly forty years ago. To this sole remnant of her former happiness, she had dung in penury and starvation—her eyes gloating on the beauty of the picture which had passed away from the original forever. Yours truly, Broadbrim. DR. SCHENCK’S STANDARD EEBIEDI23. The standard remedies for all diseases of the lungs are Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup, Schcnck’s Sea Weed Tonic , and Schenck's Mandrake [’ills, and if taken before the lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is effected. To those three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in the treatment ot pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid mat ter in the lungs; nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it off, the patient has rest and life lungs Degin to heal. To enable the pulmonic syrup to do this, Scheuck’s Mandrake Pills and Schetick’s Sea Weed Tonic must be ireely used to cleanse the stomach and liver, removing all obstructions, relax the gall bladdler, the bile sturts freely, and the liver is soon relieved. Sebenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimu lant and altertive; the alkali ot which it is com posed mixes with the food and prevents souring. It assists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a healthy condition, so that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the patient will surely get well it care is taken to prevent fresi. cold. All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either personally or by letter, can do so at his princi pal office, corner of Sixth anu Arch Sts , Phila delphia, every Monday. Schenck’s medicines are sold by all druggists throughout the country. VEG STINE Purifies the Blood, Renovates and Invigorates the Whole System.

S. Best, Pastor“of M. E. Church, Natick, Mass , will be read with interest by many physicians. Also, those suffering from the same disease as afflicted the Son of the Rev. E. S. Best. No person can doubt tiiis testimony, as there is no doubt about the curative powers of Vegetine. • Natick, Mass., Jan. 1, 1874. M*. H. I£. Stewens: Dear Sir—We have good reason for regarding your Vegetine a medicine of tbegreatest value. We feel assured that it has been the means of saving our son’s life. He is now seventeen years of age; for the last two years he has suffered from necrosis of his leg, caused by scrofulous affections, and was so far reduced that r.early all who saw' him thought his recovery impossible A council of able phy sicians could give us but the faintest hope of his ever rallying, two of the number declaring that be was beyond the reach of human reme dies, that even amputation could not save him, as he had not vigor enough to endure the oper ation. Just then we commenced giving him Vegetine, and from that time to the present he has been continuously improving, lie has lately resumed his studies, thrown away his crutches and cane, and walks about cheerfully and strong. Though there is still some discharge from ihe opening where the limb was lanced, we have the fullest confidence that in a little while he will be perfectly cured. He has taken about three dozen bottles of Vegetine, but lately uses but little, as be declares that he is too well to be taking medicine. Respectfully yours, E. 8. BEST, Mrs. L. C. F. BEST, ASi Gae ffilootl. If Vegetine will relieve pain, cleanse, purify and cure such diseases, restoring the patient to perfect health after trying different physicians, jnany remedies, suffering for years, is it not con clusive proof, if your are a sufferer you can be cured? It works in the blood, in the circulat ing fluid. It can truly be called the Great Blood Purifier. The great so .-rce of disease originates in the blood ; and no medicine that does nor. act direct’y upon it. to purify and renovate, has any just claim upon public attention. SleeoMaiuestui St llcsiGlly. South Boston, Feb. 7, IS7O, Mr. Stevens ; Dear Sir—l have taken several bottles of your Vegetine, and am convinced it is a valuable remedy for Dyspepsia, Kidney Com plaint, and general debility of the system. I can heartily recommend it to all suffering from the above complaints. Yours respectfully. Jlus. MONROE PARKER, 386 Athens Street. PREPARED BY H, R. ST £¥EN3, BOSTON, MASS.
