1)ar ted one eve at the garden gate,

stif -lit me a tress from her nut-brown hair,
Vl ; i kissed her lips of cherry.
. , -1v:• her a ring of the old-time gold,
‘ v. I a stone like the mountain berry—
Vs dear and blue
\s her eyes were true—
S«red eves, to bright and merry:
••The wealth of mv love is all I have
Id -I'e you." she said in turning;
•The . '! ! that wears—like the radiant stars
in \.aider blue vault burning!'’
And I took the trust.
As a lover must
Wh ' e soul for Eve is yearni-g.
Kate kept us apart for many years,
Vi.,i the blue sea rolled between us!
Ti. ,ugh 1 kissed each day the nut-brown tress
An i I made fresh vows to Venus—
Till I sought my bride;
Ami fate defied.
That failed from love to wean us.
I found my love at the garden gate
When the de*r was on the h atlier.
And we twain were wed at the little kirk
In the pleasant autumn weather;
And the gold that wears
Now soothes my cares,
As we live and love together.

report circulated to the aspersion of hi6

The Mulberry Grove post office, in Harris

Hon. Joseph J. Collier, ex-State Senator,
died at his residence in Dooly county on the

A complimentary supper was tendered
Hu: . Claiborne Snead by his friends of Au-

the Augusta papers as having been a very
pleasant occasion.
On Monday night last a large bam and
three corn cribs on the premises of Mrs.
Martha A. Clarke, at Hepzibali, were com
pletely destroyed by fire. The loss is a
heavy one, aud it is suggested that efforts
1 • made to relieve the distress of the family.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
A Macon physician is very anxious that
the Legislature shall pass a stringent law iu
regard to the sale of opium, chloral hydrate

physicians are aware of the great extent to
which the use of such poisons are carried.”
It is stated that though sickness pre
vented Hon. Allen G. Thurman from attend

abandoned his idea of visiting Georgia.
A good deal has been said lately in the
State press regarding the reported sale of
the Brunswick and Albany Railroad. The
Brunswick Advertiser thus briefly states the
exact situation: “The negotiations touch
ing the sale of the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad are progressing satisfactorily, aud
from what we can learn it is only a matter
of time.” *
The Brunswick Advertiser alludes to tl*e
fact that on last Saturday morning there
were lying at the docks of that city the
steamship Western Texas, and the steamers
Rosa, David Clark, Athlete and Hamilton,
all loading or discharging at the same time,
besides a little lleet of vessels below,all lead
ing with lumber. The Advertiser draws from
all this the moral that “where there is so
much shipping there must be some busi
ness.”
Here is what the Montezuma Weekly has
about it: "Some people say it Will be
Thurman, while others think it may be
Bayard or Heudricks. As for our part, we
do not care r just so the Democratic party
will put forward a man who will have the
-•ri; to be inaugurated if he is elected. Gen.
Hrant will do his best to occupy the White
ilouse again.”
Augusta News: “Dr. Carver is now in
Augusta, and is quite sick. His shooting at
Aiken yesterday was very fine, but not as
::ood as usutl, ou account of a severe head-
aiUe. which of course interfered seriously
'ith shooting. He is still suffering front
his head, but will leave tQ-morrow night
for Atlauta.”
Brunswick Advertiser: “The house of Mr.
" , ar Wilder was entered by thieves last
week, and despoiled of clothing, bed
el Abes, etc., to the amount of about fifty
dollars. Mr. Wilder, it seems, left a week
ag • fur Telfair county to accept a position
und r Messrs. Dodge .A'Fuller, leaving his
family behiud to superintend packing and
moving, Mrs. Wilder and Freddie meantime
spending their nights with her sister. The
premises, therefore, being left unguarded,
1 • wne an easy prey to the thieves. No
Hue. t*, far, to the perpetrators.”
Mr. Janies M. Ilall, a young man of great
promise, and a citizen of Baker county, was
"iding out last week from Newton with a
young friend who proposed to “give the

■him against a tree, causing his death.
Thomasville Southern Enterprise: “On
\Y.-dnesday night of last week, between 9

flower stand from its place in the front yard
of .Judge Haiiseli’s residence to one of the
windows, aud as one of ]tbe ladies was about
Jo close the blinds to th# wirnfow she saw a

Augusta Chronicle: “Monday night a
quilting party ivas given at the house of
Harrison Beale, colored, on the Savannah
road, about three miles from the city’. Dur-
inc the course of the evening Beale noticed
Hut among those in attendance were sev
eral who had not been invited, and who
were evidently from ths city. He objected to

butcher knife, inflicting a fearful wound.

Columbus Enquirer: “Saturday night a
tramp arrived in this city and inquired,
‘Where is the d—n police of this town?’
He was told to look around and he would
find one, and last night succeeded in find
ing one and getting a ‘berth.’ He had a
•hard cheek,’ and visited many of our citi
zens, all of whom can testify to his impu
dence. Early yesterday morning he walked
into a barroom, and asked the proprietor to
give him a drink, which he refused to do.
The fellow replied, ‘If you are that kind of
a man I don’t want to have anything to do
with you.’ The saloon man pointed to the
door and told him to ‘git,’ which he said he
would not do, but which he did with
the assistance of a boot. After getting
on the sidewalk, he said he would
whip the saloon man if he would come out
there. To please the gentleman the
proprietor walked out, and without further
ado struck his challenger on the cheek.
All expected to see the tramp return
the compliment, but after wiping his
face with his coat sleeve he said, ‘Well,
that didn’t hurt,’ and walked up the street.
About 8 o’clock last night he walked into
a gentleman’s house, on lower Broad street,
and struck a little boy without any cause.
Mayor Wilkins being in the neighborhood
was sent for, came aud escorted the fellow
up town. He was turned over to a police
man, who placed him in the guard house.”
Sheridan and Sehnrz.
Nashville American.
Mr. Schurz has certainly got credit for
the management of his department, espe
cially as to Indian affairs, where at least
some abuses have been discovered and
corrected. The sharp letter addressed
by him to the War Department offers a
means of showing just how far reform
has gone, and how much mismanage
ment yet remains, and how much of the
evil in that department is due to a de
fective system. The clashing of depart
ments is a small matter. They have
been entirely too harmonious. Indeed,
we have been tempted to believe—
so harmonious and always so well
agreed are they with the Presi
dent and his policy, whatever it is
—and if there is one—and with each
other—that we have got a number of
gentlemen in office who intend to stick
at all hazards. If we have formed a cor
rect estimate of General Sheridan, he
will not hesitate to take up the gage of
battle and return with whatever proof
industry can discover or he may already
have. It is believed in some quarters
that, after all the show of reform, Gen
eral Sheridan will be able to show a
number of officials yet in the service who
are a disgrace to the goverumeut, and a
number of acts unpunished which will
fully justify all he has said, and show
not only a defective system, but also bad
management.
This is a matter which interests not
only the Indian country but the people
of the entire country. The chief cause
of the enormous expenditure for military
purposes now left in this country is the
Indian Bureau and the Indians. ” A just
course is always the least expensive, and
for purely economical reasons neither a
person nor a community can afford dis
honesty or injustice. In a humanitarian
point of view it is equally interesting.
The Indian service is a disgrace to a
civilized country. We tr a 1 : be savage as
if he had no rights a white in iu is bound
to respect. It is to be hoped that Gen.
Sheridan will meet the Indian Bureau
with all the facts the most careful re
search can disclose. He is likely to do
this, for he is energetic, proud ai.d
obstinate, and with all his bitter preju
dices he has shown a love for truth.
With all his disposition toward being a
military tyrant, and with all his bitter
and prejudiced utterances in Louisiana,
to his credit, he refused to associate or
officially to have anything to do with
Wells, and said: “Dishonesty is some
thing more than must be expected of
me. " He is the very man to push the
inquiry Schurz has provoked, and we
hope, in the interest of truth and a better
system, he will make it thorough.
When the two departments are fairly
at loggerheads we shall have a chance to
have a mutual dusting and cleaning up
of old bureaux and odd drawers and
corners. There is many a cobweb of
lingering Grantism, no doubt, which
might be swept away with decided ad
vantage to the government of a civilized
people. _
Ex-Gov. Hoffman, of New York, who
has just returned from Europe, has given
the interviewers a pleasant account of
his travels and impressions. He rejoiced
particularly in the altered feeling iu Paris
towards America, which took more
prizes, in proportion to the size of the
exhibit, than, any other country. He
says the people begin to comprehend
something of our government, and to
feel that it has a future. He thinks the
Berlin treaty will prove a terrible disap
pointment to England. France is the
most prosperous nation in Europe to
day, and he attributes it in part to the
fact that the French have learned the
maximum of economy and the minimum
of expenditure. He thinks the silver
commission made a very favorable im
pression. Mr. Hoffman says Gen. Grant
was received in Paris with distinguished
■honor wherever he went, but “lived,
when he could, as an unpretentious
gentleman.” In reference to English
affairs, the Governor made the following
interesting remarks:
“Cyprus is a kind of an elephant on
England’s hands, and I do not think the
people consider the Berlin treaty such a
great thing after all. You remember a
character in one of Beaconsfield’s novels
who says, ‘What policy shall w e havi
and the answer is, ‘No policy; let us
have a cry.’ ‘Peace with Honor’ is just
about as good a ‘cry’ as any. I was
reading Disraeli’s ‘Tancred’ iu Paris.
He wrote it about twenty years ago, and
one of the expressions in it is, ‘England
wants Cyprus.' Another character is
made to say, ‘The Queen of England
should be called the Empress of India.’
Disraeli’s policy is often foreshadowed
in his writings, even of years ago. The
people, however, do not seem to be de
lighted over the additional title or the
acquisition of Cyprus. There is no
enthusiasm about the matter at all. 1 do
not think there will "be war with Russia;
that is only my impression, of course.
But I do not think Russia wants war.
The feeling in England is pretty strong
about it, too, an4 there are a great many
articles and letters in the papers about
it. According to the Berlin treaty
Asiatic Turkey is to be protected by
England, and when Russia makes up
her mind to go dowm there England will
have to fight or run away,”
There are a large number of counter
feits of the Bland and trade silver dollars
in circulation here. The work on the
Bland or legal tender silver dollar is
perfect, tjie sound is good, very closely
resembling the jingle of the genuine, and
the only way to detect the fraud is iu the
weight of the piece. It lacks about the
weight of thirty cents of silver of the
true dollar, and made of a hard com
position, somewhat like silver. The
wrought work on the trade dollar is not
so good, though the piece is a clever
imitation of money, doubtless a

went to hunt water-cresses in the swamps
below Trenton. He took a little dog
wiih him, and next day its whining en
treaties induced Mrs. Gilbert to follow it
into the swamp, where its master was
founej. in an unconscious state, with one
hand grasping ^ tqssock of grass and
only his head and shoutdciw remaining
above tbe mud. Mrs. Gilbert hastily
summoned her husband and two other
men, but it was only by building a plat
form boards and rails and pulling
with ropes that tfce stranger was labori
ously pulled out. Life still remained,
which restoratives revived, and then
Yopp told how he had slipped in picking
cresses, falling into the bog, which
sucked him into its depths an inch an
hour. He shrieked till hoarse, and final
ly prayed for speedy release from his
a^ony, which was mercifully lost in un-
oousejousness at midnight. The old
man was carried home to Trenton and

Mr. McConnell, of Clayton—A bill to

Reports were received from several com

for consideration.
Mr. Colley, of Wilkes—A resolution call
ing upon the committee in regard to an
early adjournment to report at once to the
House, which was adopted.
Mr. King, of Floyd—A resolution to meet
at 9 o’clock and adjourn at 2 o’clock, which
was opposed by Mr. Strother, of Lincoln,
on the ground that the committees had im
portant work on hand. Mr. Kendrick, of
Webster, amended to 9 o’clock and 1 o’clock
—yeas 01, nays 55—but, on motion of Mr.
Nesbit, of Bibb, seconded by Mr. McWhor
ter, of Greene, the resolution was tabled,
as some committees meet at 9 a. in., and
others at 2 p. m.
Reading of bills the third time was next
iu oider, and occupied the House for about
an hour.
The first bill was one to enforce the con
stitutional provision against giving away or
selling liquor within two miles of the polls
on any election day.
Mr. Paine, of Chatham, and Mr. Alston,
of DeKalb, opposed the bill as useless and
unjust. Mr. Turner, of Brooks, and Mr.
McCurry, of llart, defended the bill as in
strict accordance with tbe language of the
constitution.
A division of the House showed 114 yeas
to 12 nays, but Mr. Alston requested a
call of the roll, which, resulted iu 102 yeas
to 30 nays.
The bond bill of Mr. Garrard, of Musco
gee, providing for a new issue of certain
State bonds, was next read, aud made the
special order for Friday at 11 o’clock.
Bills for a second reading were taken up.
The bill requiring wild lands to be returned
in the county where they lie was reported
adversely by the committee.
Mr. Sheffield, of Miller, spoke with great
earnestness in opposition to the report and
in favor of the passage of the bill.
Mr. McWhorter, of Greene, Chairman of
the Wild Lands Committee, explained why
the committee had reported adversely to the
bill. Its provisions were impracticable, aud
similar bills had for years been defeated iu
the Legislature.
Mr. Strother, of Lincoln, and Mr. Paine,
of Chatham, sustained the report of the
committee, and the vote stood 90 yeas to 35
nays, and the bill was lost.
Bill, by Mr. Strother, of Lincoln, to re
duce fences from five to four feet, reported
ainst by the Agricultural Committee, was
also lost.
Bill, by Mr. Hanks, of Whitfield, thrt the
distinction between principals aud first and
second degrees in crime be abolished, was
reported adversely, aud lost.
I he bill incorporating the Middle Georgia
Military and Agricultural College, at Mill-
edgeville, was made the special order of the
day for Tuesday at 11 o’clock, and three
hundred copies of the bill ordered to be
printed.
The local legislation till was called up
and a motion made to adopt the majority re
port of the Committee of Conference.
Mr. Harris, of Bibb, opposed this and fa
vored the minority report, but Mr. King, of
Floyd, was willing to compromise in order
to get the bill passed and prepare the way
for local legislation.
Mr. Turner, of Brooks, desired to wait
until the Senate acted upon the matter. He
was opposed to monopolies, aud wanted the
restriction as to price of advertising notice
to apply to all counties. Ou his motion the
matter was tabled for the present.
The majority report favored an amend
nieut that iu counties having no paper,
notice should be published in the Sheriff’s
sale paper in some other county, but not
more than one d: liar per square should be
charged. If the official paper refuse to
publish at this price, then notice could be
published in any other paper. The majority
report was for putting notice on the court
house door in counties having no paper.
The debate on these reports was spicy
and interesting, showing the difference "now
existing among members as to whether or
not there will be any local legislation, and
as to a long or 6hort session and an extra
session.
Mr. Adams, of Chatham, had the honor to
preside to-day when the first bill of the ses
sion was passed, and he discharged the re
sponsible duty so well that Speaker Bacon
highly complimented and predicted his sue
cess as a presiding officer in the future.
The Senate has spent the most of the day
in discussing the pro hoc vice Judge bill, on
a reconsideration. The debate lias been
prolonged and earnest on both sides.

Fatal Case of Hydrophobia
Delaware.—Mr. William H. Dobb,
well known citizen of Newcastle, Del.,
was seized on Saturday morning, as be
sat at breakfast, with every symptom of
hydrophobia. He had been bitten by
his own dog about eight or ten weeks
since, which at the time exhibited signs
of the disease, and was at once killed.
Mr. Dobb, after being bitten, commenced
taking elecampane and milfe* which he
had learned was a sure antidote to the
poison, but had discontinued its use, and
on Saturday morning he was seized with
the first symptom. A physician was im
mediately summoned, but the patient
grew rapidly worse. About noon on
Sunday last he began to be delirious; his
convulsive shudders and tremors
creased in frequency and strength until
they became terrible, and it required
several men to hold him. At one time
he jumped up out of the bed and, reach
iug the window, broke the sash before
he could be restrained. The convulsions
went on from bad to worse, until about
2:45 o’clock Monday morning, when
death terminated bis sufferings. Mr.
Dobb was for teq years fcuperinteqdent
of the Newcastle Locomotive Company,
and during the late war served as second
engineer in the navy.
Shocking.—Electricity has been added
to the ducking tub as a mode of punish
ment in the Columbus (Ohioj peniten-
tiarj’. The prisoner is first stripped of
his clothing, then blindfolded and taken
into the room where the tub is kept.
There he is ordered to sit down in water
three inches deep, and one pole of the
battery having been placed in the water,
a sponge is attached to the other With
this sponge the body of the prisoner is
touched rapidly in several places. Not
knowing where he is to be touched, as
his eyes are still kept blindfolded, his
suffering becomes the greater. The pain
sometimes produced is ^aid to be great,
and causes the prisoner to shout in loud
and piercing tones. Unless a careful
physician is employed to direct the use
of the electricity, people will be led to
question the wisdom and humanity of
this innovation.

The Honest Dollar.
Chicago Tribune. Republican.
A late interview shows, beyond a par-
ad venture, what Mr. Sherman’s future
course will be. If he was converted to
the side of the people last winter in favor
of a double monetmy standard, he ha9
been reconverted to the side of the gold
ites, in favor of the single gold standard
Of this there is no shadow of doubt. He
says:
“My idea is it would be better to limit
the amount of dollars to be issued, or to
increase the silver in them to at or near
the value of gold. They would then be
honest dollars, and would circulate bet
ter. The Tribune admits that the price
of silver has fallen in the markets of the
world, but neither that paper nor the
President, nor ihe departments, nor the
United States, can change this, and other
nations have refused to help us. We can
only do what all people have done be
fore—recognize the changed value of the
two metals, and conform our coinage
laws to that change.”
Mr. Sherman declares that the millions
of silver dollars coined by the mandate
of Congress and hoarded in the vaults of
the Treasury are not honest dollars!
Mr. Sherman’s “idea” is that “it wo
be better to limit the amount of dollars
to be issued, or to increase the silver in
them to at or near the present value of
gold.” “They would then be honest
dollars,” says the Secretary. What is an
honest dollar? Is the silver dollar of 4124
grains a “dishonest dollar” simply be
cause it will not exchange for as many
grains of gold as it would in 1873? There
is scarcely another commodity (except
gold) to be found in the markets of the
world of which the silver dollar of 4124
grains will not purchase more than in
1873. Let us suppose that a debt was
incurred under these circumstances: In
1873, immediately subsequent to the pas
sage of the demonetization act, Jones
sold and conveyed his residence to Smith
for §10,000, receiving in payment §7,000
cash—gold coins—and a note for
§3,000, payable July 1, 1878, with
out interest and unsecured. In
January, 1877, real property baviDg suf
fered a large decline in value, Smith sold
the house he had purchased of Jones to
Robinson for §7,000 cash in gold coin
In .June, 1878, real property having still
further declined in value, Jones repur
chased the house he had sold to Smith
from llobinson for §5,000 cash in silver
coins. When Smith’s note for §3,000
fell due, July 1, 1878, he offered to pay
it iu silver dollars of 4121 grains. Jones
protested—not on the ground of the ille
gality of the tender, but of its mequita-
bility. He said: “When you gave me
this note gold coins were the only legal
tender; the contract was made on that
basis; the act of the government in re
monetizing silyer operated legally to my
injury, but }*ou ought not to take ad
vantage of it; to do so would be in
equitable.” To which Smith replied:
“My right to pay this note in silver
dollars is no less equitable than legal.
Through the decline in property I
have lost §3,000 and Robinson hits lost
§2,000. You have repossessed yourself
of the property sold in 1873, and have
gained the §5>0o0 lost by Robinson and
myself. With relation to gold, silver
has declined 15 per cent.; but, with rela
tion to real property, gold has advanced
50 per cent. Is it more just that I should
submit to a sacrifice of one-half my es
tate in the satisfaction of your claim,
tliau that you should be restrained from
enforciug the payment of 15 per cent,
of the 50 per cent, you have gained
through the appreciation of the value of
money, and the consequent depreciation
of all other forms of property?” This illus
tration shows whither the theory that the
gold dollar is the only honest dollar leads.
It leads inevitably to the confiscation of
debtors’ estates for the benefit of their
creditors.

tell him that if he wanted to substitute
“cocher” for “cochon” he'd have uo
further trouble. ‘ ‘What’s the difference ?”
he inquired. When Bob informed him
that “cochon” was one of the most in

they do it to bother us English!

A Curious Robbery.—A correspon
dent from Rome says; “We have had a
robbery—a very clever robbery, too, I
am bound to say—so clever that it is at
tributed to the honorable company of
thieves who last year robbed the Calais
mail. Here, a box containing values to
the sum of several millions of francs,
was given into tbe charge of three confi
dential messengers, who left Ancona
with it and proceeded to Genoa, without
it once leaving their hands or eyes. At
Genoa it was locked up in tu§ strong fiox
of the safe. But when, on the fojlowiug
morniDg, the box was opened, there were
only wood shavings in it. Upon exami
nation, the box was found to be exactly
like the one given to the men at Ancona.
Every mark and seal of the bank was
there, aud even the weight of the box
was the same. Those, therefore, who by
some prestidigitation changed one box
for another, must have been long aware
of this proposed envoy, in order to have
been able to have madu their prepara
tions with sc much precision. Every
one in the bank is under watch on sus
picion. ”
A NEW JERSEY CONGRESSMAN’S
SCRAPE.
Hezekiah B. Smith Accused of Hav
ing a Wife In Vermont as Well as
Jersey.
Springfield (Jlass.) Republican.
They believe in Woodstock. Vermont,
that Hezekiah B. Smith, Congressman
elect in the Second New Jersey district,
has a family in Vermont as well as Jer
sey, and that he never attended to any
divorce formalities. Mr. Smith lives at
Smithville, New Jerse}', about eighteen
miles from Philadelphia. He owns the
ville, which is a place of manufacturing
shops. He is said to be worth about two
huudred thousand dollars. His elec ion
to Congress was brought about by a
combination of the Greenback men and
the Democrats. He has a wife living
with him but no children. And now for
his Vermont career: Hezekiah B. Smith
was born in Woodstock in 1816, and lived
here till he was twenty years old. In
1846 he ran away with and ostensibly
married Verona Eveline English, a young
daughter of John English, of Woodstock.
The father opposed the match, and, it is
said, made some pursuit, but did not
overtake the fugitives, who proceeded to
Boston, where a form of marriage, which
Miss English supposed was genuine, was
gone through with before a clergyman,
real or pretended. The pair lived
happilj’ together as man and wife until
1865, and four children were born to
them. Part of this married life was
passed in Boston and part in Lowell,
where Smith was in business; but some
time about 1850 he bought a house in
Woodstock, where Mrs. Smith came and
lived, being frequently visited by her
husband, and where most, if not all, of
fie children were born. They represent
ed themselves as man and wife, and were
so considered and received by the peo
ple. Mrs. Smith was a model wife and
mother, and was ihen and has always
since been respected in the community.
She never suspected but what she was
legally married until, to quote her words,
“He told me he had found a woman who
would be true to him, and he was going
to marry her, and I might tell my friends
that my marriage was not legal.”
This must have been in 1865, for in
July of that year we find on the town
records a deed from “H. B. Smith, of
Lowell, Mass.,” to “Verona Eveline
English, of Woodstock,” conveying to
her a life interest in all his estate in
Woodstock, being the house in which
she lived and a small lot of land, with
the remainder deeded to her daughter.
Ella Annette Smith. Both deeds are
dated July 19 and recorded in September
of that year. Two hundred dollars were
deposited in the Woodstock bank at this
time to the credit of “V. E. English,’’and
withdrawn in small sums by the next
spring. The citizens of Woodstock ex
prc«s great sympathy with Mrs. Smith.
A Republican reporter called on her and
got the storv from her own lips.

Cincinnati Commercial, November 17.
A special from Vincennes, Indiana,
says that Johnson Township, in that
county,was the scene of a funny attempt
at a wedding last Wednesday, which has
just been developed this morning. In
that locality lives Miss Underwood, the
fair daughter of an honest and respecta
ble old farmer. Two young men,
one P. H. Donovan, a farmer,
the other William Ayres, a mil
ler, were paying court to the fair
Melissa. She could not decide which
one to favor, having promised each
one to marry him, but finally,
being wooed more ardently by
Ayres, she consented to marry him if
it could be kept secret from Dono
van. Ayres came to this city, secured a
license and the necessary outfit, and on
Wednesday, in company with William
Selzer, a Justice of the Peace of this
place, proceeded to the Underwood farm.
The bridal party were on the floor and
the ’Squire had nearly finished the job,
when Donovan, to the surprise of every
one, rushed in and declared that the
ceremony should proceed no further.
Donovan grabbed the girl by the waist
and exclaimed, in piteous accents, “Oh,
Meliss, don’t 3 r ou consent, for you prom

the neck, and yelled in stentorian tones,
“Go on, ’Squire, we are half married
now; finish up the job.” The Magistrate,
under the circumstances, refused to pro
ceed, and Ayres, although half married,
is no better off than before, and Donovan

A11 Exciting Bed-Cliainber Scene in
Ionisville.
Courier-Journal.
Mr. Samuel Bryant, who lives near the
race course, out Third street, had a
thrilling adventure with a desperate bur
glar about 1 o’clock yesterday morning.
Mrs. Bryant was aroused from sleep by
the sound of stealthy footsteps on the
floor. Upon opening her eyes, she be
held the dusky form of a big negrG
creeping about the room near her bed,
aud, by the faint light' of a lamp burn
ing low, discovered that he carried a pis
tol in liis hand. As cautiously as possi
ble, Mrs. Bryant whispered in her hus
band’s ear that there Was a burglar in the
house. As she did so she heard the click
of the lock as the burglar cocked
his pistol. Mr. Bryant, becoming
aroused, was at once conscious of the
situation, and remembered that he had
three unloaded pistols in the house. He,
therefore, awaited a favorable oppor
tunity, and sprang from the bed toward
the burglar, intending to risk his strength
in a struggle against the chances of being
shot. No sooner was he out of bed than
the thief raised his pistol and fired. The
half, missing rs aim ; struck tlje wall and
knocked down a lot of plastering, which
fell upon the lamps and extinguished the
light. The thief then made a rush for
the door, and as he was makiDg his exit,
Mr. Bryant struck him on the back with
a lieav)- wash pitcher, the only weapon
which, in the -- coma flnd . but
me blow did not impede his progress,
and the burglar escaped. After the ex
citement of the adventure was over, Mr.
Bryant examined his clothing, which was
hanging at his bedside, and found that
he h^d been robbed of a fine gold watch
and chain, valued at four huudred dol
lars, and about eighty dollars iu money.

Y^ellow fever cannot originate in the
Gulf States under any condition what
ever ; it is a creature of the tropics, and
the original germ is invariably imported,
favorable local sanitary conditions only
depriving it of a portion of its terrors.
State or municipal quarantines against
foreign ports arff inadequate and unsafe,
giving us ever-recurring epidemics, with
their multitudinous ghastly and terrible
attendants. With the spread of popula
tion and growth of railroads, non-inter
course between our Gulf ports and inte
rior points, at any season of the year,
becomes impracticable, and it there
fore becomes necessary to have the
strong arm of the Federal Govern
ment between us and the source of
danger. We have a wise and judicious
system of quarantine laws administered
from Washington. In this way only can
we be safe from the clutches of this
deadly pestilence, which has brought
widespread desolation and loss to our
shores so often, and which may yet, in
one summer, spread its ravages over a
dozen States.
Galveston has fortunately escaped,
but our immunity is due to vigilant care
against the infection. While the sani
tary condition of this city is good, as
compared with former years, it is far
from being perfect, and* had a case of
yellow fever been introduced here at
any time this summer, it would in all
probability have been followed by an

A New Construction of the Civil
Rights Bill
Baltimore Sun.
A recent decision of Judge Rives, in
the United States Court at Danville, Vir
ginia, illustrates in a curious way how
logically illogical the principles of the
civil rights bill, so called, pushed to their
ultimate consequences, may be made to
appear. By one of the provisions of the
civil rights bill, codified in the Revised
Statutes of the United States under the
title “Ju<}iciary,” section 641, it is enac
ted that when any criminal prosecution
is commenced in any State court, for any
cause whatever, against any person who
is denied or cannot enforce in the ju
dicial tribunals of the State or of the
part of the State where such prosecution
is pending any right secured to him by
any law providing for the equal rights
of citizens of the United States, such
prosecution may be removed, upon pe
tition, etc., duly filed in the State court,
.for trial into the next Circuit Court of
the United States to be holden in the
district. Under this provision of
the statute Judge Rives has set
aside all the proceedings in the case of
two colored men who had been tried in
the State court for arson [and the mur
der of a white man named Aaron C.
Shelton], and whose sentences had been
fixed, upon appeal, by the Court of Ap
peals of the State. He has further di
rected a writ of habeas corjws cum causa
to be issued, directed to the Sheriff or
jailer of ^Patrick county, Virginia, in
whose custody the convicted negroes are,
requiring that the prisoners, with the in
dictments upon which they were con
victed, shall be brought into the United
States Court. The ground for this pro
ceeding, which has naturally created a
good deal of astonishment and excite
ment in Virginia, is that prior to their
trial in the State court the counsel for
the prisoners demanded a special jury,
to be composed partly' of persons of the
same color as the prisoners. The law of
Virginia being the same for blacks and
whites, without distinction of color,
and containing no provision for trying
one class of citizens in a different
manner or by a different jury from
other citizens, the application was re
fused, and the trial proceeded with the
result above stated. Judge Rives on
Friday, at Danville, upon an application
by tbe prisoner’s counsel for a writ of
habeas corpus, is reported to have de
cided, iu an elaborate opinion, first, that
the refusal of the State Judge to allow
the prisoners a special jury, composed
in part of persons of their own color,
was a denial of right secured by the laws
of the United States, and furnished
ground for the removal of the cause into
the Federal court; and secondly', that
the filing of the petition for removal
ousted the jurisdiction of the State
courts, and that all further proceedings
therein, including trial and sentence,
were a nullity. For the first proposition
it may be doubted whether Judge Rives
will be able to produce a single authority
or any' sound reason. If there is any
statute of the United States, or any
amendment to the Constitution
which provides for special juries in
cases, civil or criminal, in which colored
men are concerned, we c infess that we
have never heard of it. Judge Rives is
further reported to have said that the
right of the prisoners which was in
fringed was the constitutional right of
being tried by a jury of their peers.
From which it may be inferred that the
colored man has no peers but those of his
own race and color. We had supposed
that it was precisely this distinction
founded upon race, color aud previous
condition which the fourteenth amend
ment and the legislation enacted in pur
suance of it were intended to get rid of.
Judge Rives revives the color line in full
force. Tt is not equal rights that the
colored man, according to this
ruling, is entitled to, but unequal
rights. No white man claims to be
entitled to be tried by a parti colored
jury. Should Judge Rives’ new doctrine
lie sanctioned, the next question will be
how many colored men must there be on
a jury in cases in which the rights and
interests of a colored plaintiff or defen
dant are involved? and we shall have a
revival of 4II the old rules and distinc
tions which we thought had forever
passed away as to what precise admix
ture of African blood is necessary' to
constitute a man a “man of color.”
Without adverting to those extreme, in
jurious consequences to the colored race
which some of our Virginia contempo
raries intimate would follow from the
adoption of Judge Rives’ doctrines, we
are quite sure that a very little reflection
will lead all intelligent colored men to
reject and deprecate such ill-advised no
tions of unequal rights and special privi
leges as the J udge sets up in their behalf.

The Darke County. Ohio, Outlaws—
Their Capture Probable.
A dispatch from Dayton, Ohio, says a
due has been obtained within the last
two days to the existence of the most
completely organized band of outlaws
ever known in that section. A colored
man named Billingsley, having several
aliases, was arrested in Dayton for dis
posing of stolen property. He had been
watched and shadowed by detectives for
six weeks beforo the arrest was made,
and in his possession was found several
hundred dollars’ worth of new clothing,
and furnishing goods enough to stock a
store. He v;as a man of exemplary' re
putation in colored society, a member of
the church and of the Sunday school.
He was disposiqg of ^hese goods from
time to time 4t a mere fraction of their
value. No clue to the ownership of the
goods could be louod until yesterday,
when information was obtained showing
that Billingsley was acting for a band of
thieves in Darke county, thirty miles
west of Dayton, near the State
line, who for more than a year have
been carrying on lawless depre
dations. A year ago forty masked
men rode into the small town of Pales
tine, and cabling out a man named Geyer,
riddled him with bullets at his own door
way. The same outrage was repeated
on an old negro only last month, whom
they had notified to leave the country,
with letters in red ink narked *ith skull
and cross-bones little later a pro;
nent citizen of the county w^g kidnapped ^
and has not since been heard from, and
it is thought he has been murdered.
Darke county is but sparsely settled, and
the authorities have been powerless to
bring tfie desperadoes to justice. The
principal town in the county, Greenville,
has frequently been entered at night and
stores broken into. Towns in the neigh
boring counties have all suffered from
the gang, who have escaped arrest and
detection on all occasions, as, living on
the border, they retire over the State
line to Indiana when pressed. Some of
the goods in Billingsley’s possession are
identified as having been stolen l>7 these
outlaws, and the officers have a t-lue, it
The Christian Advocate thought years
ago it had found the meanest man. It
was a Connecticut deacon, who went to
a store where they did a dicker trade,
and exchanged an egg for a darning
needle. He Ihen called for the custom
ary' treat, and said he would take egg
nog. The stoiekeeper used the egg he
had just taken. It proved to have a
double yolk, and in view of that estab
lished fact, the deacon, as he smacked
his lips after drinking, demanded another
darning needle! But the Advocate has
heard of a mesner man yet, a minister
in Western Massachusetts, who, when
his father became old and infirm, “threw
him on the town.” When the pauper
died the son made the request to conduct
the funeral services, for which he subse
quently asked to be paid the usual fee
and actually received it! He can’t be

CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
P AIN in the right side, under the
edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
lax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied with a dull, heavy sen-;
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. A slight,
dry' cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com-
ptems of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would he
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet exam

shown the liver to have been exteRv

Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Liver Pills, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., the

The Men wno are Slandering the
People of the South.—Whether the
charges as to the outrages in I ouisr aa
on the eve of election are true or not,
they are a nice set who are making them
—Kellogg and Leonard. The first has
lived for years by slandering and plun
dering the people whom he clai ns to
represent in the United States Senate,
and would not be believed on onth by
any reputable citizen. The second was,
a few years ago, the editor of the only
newspaper in Louisiana that boldly de
fended the policy of negro extermina
tion, and openly advocated assassination
as a means of redressing political griev
ances. The Republican party luaght
him off, to its shame, by making Aim a
United States District Attorney, and he
now leads the host of outrage shriekers.
Not on such testimony should any report
of outrages be believed.—Philadelphia
Times. __
