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!

‘•Convention or no convention,’’ is the
question. 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,

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.

families.
In fact, Vegetine is the best remedy yet dis
covered for the above diseases, and is the only
reliable Blood Purifier yet placed before the
public.
THE BEST EVIBEWE.
The following letter from Rev. B. 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

I can heartily recommend it to all suffering
from the above complaints. Yours respectfully.
