Anderson Winn, charged with the
murder of John Bruce, was tried in
Hancock Superior Court last week,
and found guilty. The Times &
Planter says : “ The argument was
opened by Capt. Williamson of Mil-
ledgeville, for the State, in a plain,
practical, but powerful speech. He
was followed by Messrs. Jordan and
Pierce, for the defence. Both these
gentlemen acquitted themselves glo
riously. The closing speech of the
Sobcitor General was characteristic

ton, from Wall Street, and even from
Europe, were enabled to transfer and
colonize foreign voters enough to
overcome Allen's immense vote. To
carry Ohio, the administration has
exerted all power of money and
patronage. Orators were sent from
every quarter to pursuado and to
frighten the people from voting for
Allen. Even Carl Schurz was sent
over by tho bondholders of Europe to
frighten the Germans and make
them vote against the Democracy.
All of these outside influences have
caused the gallant Democracy of
Ohio to be beaten a few hundred
votes out of a half million. This is
a deep stab to the rising hopes of
the Democracy of the United States.
But we trust it is not a fatal blow.
A defeat in one State does not decide
the question of the Presidency.
“Oar stately tree is yet unbent,
Though many a goodly bough is rent.”
The great States of Pennsylvania,
New York & Massachusetts are yet to
vote and they may change the whole
current of events. The same tactics
that defeated us in Ohio can’t be
used again. The money spent to
carry Ohio can’t be used again, for
the floating voters earned to Ohio
will be needed at home. We still
have hopes for the Republic.
How will the Result in O***-
feet General Grant and b is
•mm »»rm Aspirations ?
Wo believe the Radical victories
in Ohio and other western States,
will greatly strengthen Gen. Grant’s
hopes of a third term. He has but
little to hope from New England.
Thore is very little probability that
he could get the vote of any of the
New England States, except Rhode
Island and Vermont. His reliance
is principally on the western and the
southern States. If he loses Penn
sylvania, he cannot hope for any of
the middle States. But he can rely
on several of the western and some
three or four of the southern States;
these with Pennsylvania, which they
hope to carry on the financial issue
as they did in Ohio, will make a
strong vote to begin with. The re
sumption of specie payment has been
one of Grant’s hobbies in all of his
messages. Whether he was ever
serious about it or not, it will do to
deceive the people and catch votes as
we have seen in Ohio.
Letter From Sandersville.
Sandersville, Ga. )
October 18th, 1875. j”
Mr. Editor :
Your correspondent is a constant
reader of your valuable paper and
having a number of friends, relatives
and acquaintances in your county,
looks forward to its reception with
almost as much interest as he does
a letter from some valued friend.
Then too your editorials are so replete
“ ” practical reasoning upon the
with
political issues of the times, and your
“clippings” are selected with so much
care; which in my opinion gmakes it
one of the most readable weekly
newspapers published in the state.
The planters, merchants, in fact
all classes are somewhat depressed
in spirits by the low price of cotton
and short crops, and had not all clas
ses practiced the most rigid economy
in the last few months then indeed
our condition would have been des
plorable.
Notwithstanding the times are
so out of joint financially, our town
continues to improve live or six
dwellings are now going up, while
several have just been completed.
M e have the finest high school in
the State, the average attendance of
pupns being about (140) one hun
dred and forty. It is presided over
by those scholarly and Christian gen
tlemen, Profs. Ivy W. Duggan and
Wm. H. Lawson.
Our county fair comes off on the
28th, 29th, and 30th, inst, and bids
fair to be a most brilliant success.
The display of field crops, home in
dustries, fine stock, including horses,
cattle and hogs, will be tho finest
ever seen here. A number of fast
horses are now on training here.

Fair, the Sandersville Soiree Club

The heirs of Miss Mary Telfair are
contesting the charitable bequests in
her will. They claim that the will
was not made ninety days before her
death, and they also claim that the
handsome bequests to the historical
society of Savannah is void because
it is incapable of taking the bequest
and executing the trust provided for
in the will. Other charitable be
quests are objected to on similar
grounds. The matter will come be
fore the Ordinary in November, and
will then doubtless go to the higher
courts of the state for final adjudica
tion.
The Death of a Ranrioloh.
Tho death of Col. Thomas Jeffer-
ferson Randolph, in the eighty-
fourth year of his age, removes an
other of the few remaining links
that connect us with our earliest his
tory. His relations to the author
of the immortal declaration and the
greatest brain of the revolution,
were of the most intimate character-
He was born at Monticello; his
mother was Jefferson’s eldest daugh
ter; he was the manager of Jefferson’s
estate from the age of nineteen; was
educated under the eye and care of
his illustrious grandfather, with
whom he was a favorite and a con
stant associate, and at the death of
tho sage of Monticello he became
his literary executor, to whom were
confided all of Jefferson’s public and
private papers. As such executor
he published four volumes that are
widely known as the “Memoir, Cor
respondence and Miscellanies from
the papers of Thomas Jefferson.”
Col. Randolph died on his estate
near Charlottesville. His whole life
was spent in Virginia. His family is
one of the most distinguished in tfa&t
state of distinguished families. Hi8
father was a governor of the State, and
sat in congress in the opening years
of tho present century. His young
er brother was secretary of war of
the Confederate government, but
Col. Randolph generally contented
himself with that post of honor, the
private station. His last appear
ance in a public capacity was when
he acted as the president of the dem
ocratic convention which nominated
Horace Greeley for president. On
that occasion it was said of him:
“When Hon. Jefferson Randolph
came on the stage his towering fig
ure, venerable appearance and white
locks made him an object of imme
diate interest, and he was soon sur
rounded” He waB six feet four
inches in height; as straight as an
Indian, and formerly of admirable
proportions and powerful physique.
He lived and died a fine type of the
old Virginia gentleman; and fortu
nate would the country now be if its
public men were cast in the same
mould. We have too few Randolphs
and too many Chandlers.

VIEWS OS THE CURRENCY QUESTION.

In response to an invitation from
the people, General Toombs discuss

The Defeat of the People.
[From the Cincinnati Enquirer of Wednesday.]
The news which we carry to our
friends this morning is, we confess,
decidedly dispiriting. The brave
Democratic party of Ohio, maligned,
falsified and betrayed, has gone down
in defeat before the organized mon
ey power of the land. Whea the
Democratic party of Ohio for a third
time took its stand upon the side of
the people, and against the banks
and the money rings, a howl went
up from one end of the country to
the other. The schemes of the con-
tractionists, bullionists and resump-
tionists had been interfered with.

of Congress making greenbacks a le

A proper standard of values is as im
portant to the Government as a just
standard of weights and measures.
False weights and false measures are
an abomination in the sight of the
Lord. If there is a false standard
of values there should be punish
ment for it. There should be no
forced upon tho country, unmindful
of the fact that for nearly ten years
they had been engaged in forcing
their issues upon the people. For
three months the organized press of
the money power has trained its bat
teries upon the Ohio Democratic
columns. The Eastern banking and
bondholding rings have poured out
I their money, and the Republicans of
the State, through this aid, were en-

persistent lying, misrepresentation
measures and an honest standard of j
values are essential to honest govern- j
ment. You can fix a standard of j
weights and measures, and you can
fix a standard of values. An inch in
France is an inch all the world over.
Weights are the same. Gold is val
uable all over the world, and its val»
ue is easily fixed. When a man sells
his cotton at Liverpool at 7^d every
body knows what it means. It means

they have succeeded in poisoning
the minds of the people and turning
them away from their true interests.
The victory which they have won
they have purchased dearly. It is a
victory which determines that the
money power is still able in this
country to throttle the people. Mon
revolutionary war to 1811 there was
not a bank in Georgia, and yet the
people got along very well without
them. They exchanged their
ducts, and sometimes used
okius as a currency. All the green

We are disappointed, but we are
not discouraged. The cause which
we have advocated is the cause of
the people of the great West and
it that it is abont all that it is worth
to dig it out of the ground. It is
the least variable in value. It is con
venient, and its mallability enables
its subdivision into convenient forms
for currency. As a medium of ex*,
change there never has and never
will be anything to equal gold.
Gold is really our standard of value,
and I am for making all paper re
deemable in gold and silver. I am
in favor of a gold standard and the
resumption of cash payments. I am
what is called a hard-money man;
but nothing would be more destruc
tive than the resumption of specie
payments at this lime. People who
owed money and made contracts
payable in current funds would be
ruined if they had to pay in gold.
He was opposed to resumption em
bracing any past contracts. It was
in violation of the Constitution. The
poor would be oppressed by the re
sumption of specie payments. God
nowhere in the Bible says take care
of the rich, but He everywhere says
take care of the poor. Contraction
of the currency and resumption
would rob them. Seven hundred
million of currency is more than we
need under ordinary circumstances.
Inflation cheats the poor man all
the time, and it is a delusion for the
poor to suppose that because money
is cheap they are bettter off. Paper
money is a delusion. The Ohio and
Pennsylvania platforms are opposed an j! t ^*
to contraction. I am opposed to re- very fine 1
sumption as to old debts ; but as to
future contracts I think resumption
would be wise. I would resume at
J.. In Inlnen •"■*1
but I would never resume as to past
contracts. The law making green
backs a legal tender should be re«
pealed at once. It never was law,
and if I was on the Supreme Bench
I should so decide. It is a delusion
to talk of more currency, and our
public men do not known what they
are talking about whea they talk of
more currency. Values must be
graded. We do not want more cur
rency in this State. Every pound
of our four million bales of cotton
can be sold for gold. Coin is carried
out. Greenbacks have driven gold
out of the country. It goes to Eng
land, France and China. It takes
one hundred and eighty to two hun
dred millions to pay interest to the
bondholders. Duties on imports
and exports must be paid in gold.
This is an outrage on the honest,
hard working people of the country.
to
When the Democratic party ceases
to be a party of the people, capable
of securing the greatest good to the
greatest number, then the time for
its burial has come. But that time
can not come. The Democratic par
ty will be true to itself and true to
the great interests which it has un
dertaken to conserve. The defeat of
yesterday will have much to do with
shaping the future of the party. The
men who seek to drag the organiza
tion upon the platform of the Repub
lican party will take fresh hope.
They will now proclaim their inten
tion to mould the party to the uses
of the bankers and bondholders in
1876. They may possibly steal the
party machinery, but they never can
steal the votes of the masses. The
Eastern gentlemen who call them
selves Democrats, and who deserted
the Democracy ot Ohio in their great
struggle, will not bo forgotten. They
have buil t up an account which will
be settled in good time.
In the meantime, we beg our
friends to be of good cheor. Great
reforms are not wrought in a day.
This is a revolution, and it cannot
go backward. It will never stop
until the end which it seeks is ac
complished.

station, on the Central railroad, by
Alpheus Tilley, who fled. John
Tinley, father of the deceased, offers
a reward for his arrest.
from the moment he emerges “from a rayless
atom, too diminutive for the sight, until he grad-
ually involves to the maturity of those Conscious
Powers, the exercise of which furnishes subjec
tive evidence of our iinmoitality ” Proceeding
upon the theory that every fact of mind has a
physical antecedent, lie has given an admirable
treatise on Cerebral Physiology, and shown the
bearings of the facts thus established upon indi
vidual and social welfare. The Author believes
with Spencer, that “as vigorous health and its
accompanying high spirits are larger lements
of happi" e8S t *’ an any other things whatever,
the teaching how to maintain them is a teach
ing that yields to no other whatever,” and ac
cordingly has introduced an exteusive discussion
of the methods by which we may preserve the
integrity of the system and ofttimes prevent the
onset of disease. Domestic Remedies—their
preparation,uses, and effects—firm a prominent
feature of the woik. The hygienic treatment,
or nursing of the sick, is au important subject,
and receives attention commensurate with its
importance. Ncar.y all diseases “to which flesh
is heir” are described, their symptoms and
causes explained, and proper domestio treat
ment suggested. To reciprocate the many fa
vors bestowed upon him by a generous public,
the author offers liij bo ok at a price (#1.50) tit-
tie exceeding the cost of publication. Our read
ers can obtain this practical and valuable work
by addressing] the uuthor.

Dunlop Cough and Cold Syrup*
Milleugeville,Ga., Sept. 10,1875.
Mrs. Dunlop :
It affords me unfeigned pleasure to testify to
the real merit of your Cough Syrup. For more
than five years I have suffered from attacks of
Catarrh and Broncliitas, causing pain in tbe
chest and severe cough whenever I take the
least cold. 1 have tried perhaps more than twen
ty different remedies—the best of them gave but
little relief and most of them none at all. About
five weeks ago, 1 was caught in a rain and had
the severest attack of cold in my breast that I
have ever liad in summer and my cough was
intolerable. Fortunately for me your little
daughter brought me a bottle of Cough Syrup
to Bchool one morning and requested me to try it,
I did so, and began to improve from tbe first oosa
I took. I have used two small bottles and am
entirtly relieved, of all pain, and my cough is
about well. I am prepared to say that ‘Dunlop’s
Cough Syrup’ is the best 1 have ever used, and to j
the Manufacturer, I would say you cannot bet
ter serve your generation than by placing this
medicine in the reach of all who have suffered as
I have done.
Very Truly,
J. II ALLEN.

Fernando Wood’s Daughter’s
Marriage,
St Bartholomew’s Protestant
Episcopal Church was filled last
night with a richly dressed throng,
assembled on tbe occasion of the
marriage of Miss Annie Wood,
daughter of tbe Hon. Fernando
Wood, to Mr. Alonzo G. Hagedorn,
a merchant of this city. At half past
seven o’clock four ushers preceded
the bridal party up tbe broad centre
aisle. Following them were Miss
Kate Wood, sister of the bride, and
a brother of the groom; then the
groom, accompanied by tbe bride’s
brother, and then the bride, leaning
on her father’s arm. She wore a
dress of white silk, of Parisian style,
a veil and orange blossoms, and car
ried a bouquet of white flowers. Her
sister, dressed also in plain white,
carried a bunch of brilliant crimson
roses. The ceremony was performed
by the Rev. Dr. Cooke. The party
drove to Mr. Wood s residence, and
there received their friends.—N. Y.
