downward, striking the glass frame to the

through a box of sealing wax, and passing
through the office, lodged in the window
frame on the opposite side. Mr. Hamilton
was at his desk at the time, and was stoop

did not miss him more than an inch, and

Mr. Hamilton thinks that ricochet firing may
do very well in its place, but when it comes
to the performance he had rather not be

From the Buena Vista Argus we clip the
following account of a horrible accident
which recently occurred in that section of
the State : “Delia Boyd, colored, living on
Rev. W. J. Short’s plantation, two miles
north of Brantly, has been in a low state of
health for several months, and the ravages
of the disease had invaded her brain to
such an extent that she has been Regarded
as partially deranged for some time. For
several days prior to last Friday 6he had
been confined to her bed. She was left
alone in the house a short time on that day,
when her sudden and earnest screams
hurried the absent inmates to her relief.
When they reached her almost horrid
spectacle met their gaze. The fire place
was exceedingly wide and high, and the
deranged creature had left her bed and had
walked into, the fire. The terrible pain to
her feet caused by the fire, and her feeble
ness, caused her to fall on the hearth with
her feet still in the fire. Unable to move,
she was subjected to a worse ordeal. Her
clothing caught fire and was burned com
pletely off of her, while her feet were still
crisping in fiery torture, where they re
mained until she was removed. While be
ing carried from the fire to her bed it is said
large pieces of her flesh dropped from the
bones. The poor sufferer lingered for
several hours, hut died that night.”
Say6 tbu DcKaVb County yews: “The rain
storm in Dt-Kalb on last Saturday and Sun
day was the heaviest that has occurred In
the memory of the oldest inhabitant. Mr.
E. Steward, who has lived in this county
about forty j'ears, at his place on Mountain
creek, says that stream was higher on Sun
day than it has been in fifteen years, and
that it was never higher than at that time.
Snapfinger was entirely without its bounds,
and swept away the bridge on the Rock
Rtdge road above Fowler’s old mill, now
owned by Boozer & Duren, seriously damag
ing the mill property. The bridge over this
creek on the Covington road was not hurt,
but the creek left, its banks and plowed a
furrow through the road thirty feet wide
and ten feet deep, so as to make it impas
sable. The ends of the dam at Brice’s gin
were washed away, and the mill injured
considerabl}'.” A good deal of other
damage by the storm and flood is also re
ported.
Says the Hawkiusville D'ispatch: “A
band of Gypsies spent last week in Haw
ktnsville. plying- their vocation of horsn-
t-wapping. telling fortunes, selling laces,
etc On Saturday afternoon the old man of
the party fell out with his spouse, and pro
ceeded to whale her in the streets. Mar
shal Davies took cognizance of the affair,
and marched the old man off to the little
wooden structure jocularly s’yled a guard
house. Mayor Kibbee imposed a fine of
twenty dollars aud costs. Next day (Sun
day) the old man’s wife appeared be
fore the Marshal and made a pitiful
plea, stating her poverty, aud saying that
she was the mother of thirteen children,
and all of them, with some of her sons-in-
law, were along with her; that they had but
tweutA* dollars In the world, and it would
be taking the bread and meat out of their
mouths. The Marshal sent the old lady to
Mayor Kibbee. She approached His Houor
and related her pathetic story. The Mayor
reduced the fine to fifteen dollars.” The
old man was released, but had not been at
liberty fifteen minutes before he and his
faithful and devoted wife were vigorously
“jarring” at each other again.
The Augusta Chronicle chronicles on the
19 h a bold robbery perpetrated in that city,
as follows: “Last night, about half-past
twelve o’clock, the shouting of a man on
McIntosh 6».reet, uear Ellis, aroused the
neighborhood, and the excitement was in
creased by the noise of rapid footsteps ou
the pavement. The fleeing party was
stopped, and taken in charge by a police
officer anil carried back to tbe place where
the shouting was heard. It was then found
that Colonel Johnson, of Edgefield, S. C.,
had been knocked down and robbed nearly
In front of Mr. Btaisdell’s office of his
watch, chain aud an amount of money in
gold. He at once identified the prisoner as
the man who had knocked him down. The
man was searched, and two twenty dollar
gold pieces and Colonel Johnson’s watch
and chain were found on his person.
The chaiu was broken away from
the watch. The prisoner, a white man,
refused to give his name. He is evi
dently a tramp. He was carried to the
guard house and locked up. Colonel John
son’s face was covered wjth blood from the
blow inflicted by ?he robber. HesaAshe
was robbed of a large sum in gold. The
robber probably threw away the greater
portion of it. As will be seen from an item
in another place, a man was roobed by two
parties ou Broad street, Wednesday night.
The accused gave his name as Charles Wil
son, and seems to be somewhat acquainted
in these parts. All the stolen property—
$125, together wltn Col. Johnson’s watch
aud pistol,were recovered by Lieut. Prather,
$85, the pocketbook aud weapon being
found in Mrs. Tubman’s front yard, where
Wilson threw th^m upon being halted by
the policeman. The police certainly acted
promptly and efficiently in this matter, aud
it is due to them that the Colonel does not
lose a dollar. The man is said to have been
convicted last summer of carding concealed
weapons, and then Imprisoned. He then
gave his name as Henry Brown.”
Shot by a Stranger.—John Decon
and Edward Ryan, carpenters, left their
work Tuesday evening and ovalked
through Prince street toward Broadway,
New York. They met a young man,
well dressed, who was hurrying along
with both hands thrust into his coat
pockets and his head bent down Not
seeing, or pretending not to see the two
carpenter-, he ran against Ryan with s«.
much force that both men were pearly
thrown from their feet. Ryan turned
toward the stranger with a threat
ening gesture, and asked why
he had been jostled in such
a rude manner. The young man
attempted to go on without replying, but
Ryan followed him and demanded an ex
planation. Without .-peaking, the young
man drew a levolver from his pocket
and fired. The bullet struck Ryan in
tbe upper part of the left breast. Ryan
then rejoined his friend, and the stranger
turned into Greene street and disap
peared. The wounded man walked to a
neighboring drug store, and after the
wound had been examined he was sent
to the St. Vincent Hospital. Tbe sur
geons discovered that the bullet bad
passed through his left lung, and had
caused considerable internal hemorrhage,
but at a late hour last night they could
not decide whether the wound would
prove fatal or not. The police could not
discover any trace of the man who had
fired the shot, and the only description
of him that the carpenter could give was
that he was about twenty five years old,
of medium height and budd, and wore a
black overcoat and Derby’ bat.
The present mace of the corporation
of London is believed to be the same re
ferred to by Stow in his annals, when
describing Queen Elizabeth’s procession
to St. Paul’s in 1588 to return thanks
for the destruction of the Armada. It
is a fine specimen of goldsmith work of
the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries,
eighteen inches long, in great part of
crystal cut with diamond-shaped facets,
encircled with gold bands and studded
with seed pearls. The upper part is
composed of four crosses and four fleurs
de lis, and studded with three rubies,
three sapphires, ar d six very large seed
pearls The fleurs de lis are supposed to
have been added in the time of the
Plantagenets. Many other old cities of
England have very curious and band-

The image of a god of the Philistines

Arab who was quarrying stone. The
idol is fifteen feet high, and represents
an aged man, with hair in long ringlets

the shoulders. The pedestal bears no
inscription, and is carved in one huge

brought, yesterday in the Court of Common
Pleas by Miss Mary A. Murry against Gen.

THE SITUATION.
An Open Letter from Judge E. H.
Pottle—HoiitllltY of the Northern
Leaders—What the Recent Elec
tions Demonstrate—The South Not
l'or Empire—The Democracy Must
Remain Firm for the Union and
the Constitution as It Is.
Editors Augusta Chronicle and Con
stitutionalist: Your circular has been re
ceived, in which you desire me to ex
press my views in relation “ to the po
litical situation generally, and the pros
pects and policy of the Democratic par
ty.” “ Also upon the duty of the party
South towards the Democratic organiza
tion of the country.” Ever since I have
been in office I have avoided participa
tion in politics for manifest good reasons ;
but the matters to which you invite ex
pression are not so much political, m
their proper sense, and so much concern
us as a people, that I recognize the right
of any one to call upon any public offi
cial for advice and counsel. My humble
views shall be given for what they are
worth.
The present situation—the danger aud
the remedy—are the matters in hand.
Any observer of events must perceive
that the present attitude of the North
towards us is one of severe hostility.
With all of our solemn assurances to
abide the issues of the war, a solid
North is arrayed against us. It was to
be hoped that time would have healed
the wounds made in this unhappy con
test; but, with the march of time, that
feeling of unnatural hatred is rapidly
growing. Politicians have gone belore
the people, by their speeches in Congress
and on the hustings, to inflame passion
aud rekindle every spark of hostility
which seemed to be dying out.
The result of the electoral commission
—a most unwise measure, in my hum
ble judgment—is the highest evidence
of this hostility. It was not the Demo
cratic party that they feared, but a pur
pose was manifested, at any cost, to
keep the government from being ad
ministered by “Rebel Brigadiers.” The
people were made to believe that the
success of the Democratic party meant
the re-enthronement of Southern men,
who would undo- all that the war had
achieved.
The late elections in Ohio and New
York turned upon national politics. In
Ohio they would not trust an ex Union
General in a State office against a non-
combatant, sffnply because he was a
Democrat and an ally of Southern poli
tic! tns. The solid South was the slogan
which won, and now we have the specra
ele of a solid North arrayed against what
they call a solid South. The effect of
this hatred is seen in every movement
aud utterance of Republican politicians.
The cry is for a strong government, and
dreams of empire are betokened in many
of the States. How much financial con
siderations enter into this desire for a
strong government it is not necessary
now to inquire.
It is everywhere manifest that hatred
aud distrust exist at the North, and a
general feeling of uneasiness and appre
hension at the South. Any one can see
in this state of things danger to our in
stitutions. Relatively, we are a small
factor in this government, and any
change towards centralization would im
peril our very life. It is to be hoped
that we have no man in this broad land
of the South who desires the wise sys
tem of balances in our government di*
turbed—whose visions Took to Empire
The all important inquiry is now for
the remedy.
I do not believe that the people of the
North are prepared fop empire. I do
honestly believe that the great heart of
the people, North and South, beats to
the music of the Union—that Union
which was cemented by the blood of the
revolution, and which rests upon the
Constitution as it is. Mr. Webster grandt
ly said that the Union and the Constitu
tion were one and inseparable. The peo-r
pie are not prepared for the destruction
of the last, which involves the loss of
the first.
It is true that the Constitution, with
its late amendments, is not as we desire,
but these amendments are there, right or
wrong, and there is enough of leaven in
the old instrument to preserve the body
from putrefaction.
If some Patriot would rise up from
tbe North, forgetful of our late strife,
and address the understanding and heart
of the Constitqtion-loving masses of our
people—would point to the hallowed
memories of the past—the birth and
rapid development of liberty under the
Constitution—he would turn the course
of this rapid tide and earn immortality.
I return to the consideration of the
remedy. The first thing to be done, in
a general way, is to be true to ourselves;
not in that sense which cuts us loose
from our natural associates, but to be true
to our traditions and policy. We are
content with the Constitution as it is—
with the government of our fathers.
We want it perpetuated. To divide will
be the greatest disaster. The man who
talks of strong government should be
scouted in every utterance. The man
who seek3 to disintegrate the Qemocratip
party is a fool.
It may be that the success of the Dem
ocratic organization in the next election
is doubtful—the signs point to Republi
can succession; but this should not
dampen our ardor, or weaken our pur
poses. Let us go into thp next convenr
i ion armed with our old tinje honored,
national principles; carry no flag but the
flag of the Union and the Constitution,
Let us select the best exponent of those
principles, whether he be available or
not, whether he lives in a small or large
State. We should make A compromise
to gain ends. Desire for conciliation
well nigh ruined us in 1872. I had rather
be defeated on a manly issue than be
successful on a fqlse and powafdly ong.
If we succeed the party North and South
will demonstrate to the country that it
means to administer goyemment on con
stitutional and honest principles. If we
§ o under and the cause is lost, we of the
outh will have the satisfaction of know
ing that we did our best to avert the
catastrophe, and, maintaining our own-
self-respect, will command the admira
tion even of our enemies.
With this view, nothing need be said
about men—of all the Republicans, whose
names are before the people, Grant per
se is the least objectionable. But he is
the representative of that section of a
party whose aims and purposes are to
destroy the government. The men wuo
clamor for him want strong government.
In the hands of such counselors he
would be most dangerous to liberty. My
hope and belief is, that if left to himself
and open to good influences, he would
administer the government in the in
terests of all sections. But the expert:
ment is just now too fearful to contem
plate. To make terms with the enemy,
or divide our counsels, would make us
untrue to the great party North with
whom we have been associated, and urn
true to ourselves.
I am, very truly, your fellow citizen,

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
Meeting of tbe Republican National
Committee — Tbe Significance ol
Don Cameron’s Selection as Chair
man—Tbe Presidential Pot Resins
to Roll—Tbe Indiana Case —Tbe
Florida Republicans—Tbe Admin
istration and tbe Radical Nomina
tion for President.
Special Correspondence of the Mamina New.
Washington, December 18.—The Repub
lican party has been agitated to its centre,
for the past week, over the meeting of the
Republican National Committee, which was
held in this city yesterday. It is true that
the Chairman of that committee will only
call the next Republican convention to order,
and that a new committee entire will be
chosen by the convention, but nevertheless
the meeting yesterday was thought to con
tain some of the important elements of the
next Presidential campaign. On the skir
mish line of a Presidential fight, every
thing is considered of importance, trer-
baps for this reason, more than any
other, great Importance was attached to
the action of the committee yesterday. The
three leading points decided upon were
that Senator Don Cameron, of Pennsylva
nia, should be Chairman; that the next
convention should be held in Chicago, and
that the convention shall meet on the first
Wednesday in June next. The politi
cians are dissecting these resolutions and
have got “them glass eyes,” and perhaps
“pretend to see the things they do not.”
The selection of Don Cameron as Chairman
is stated by some to mean Grant, and by
others to mean Sherman. It cannot possi-
bl> mean Blaine, for the whole opposition
to Cameron came from Blaine’s supporters.
The statement that Cameron means Sher
man is due to two facts: that he married a
niece of Sherman’s and because the South
ern members of the committee voted for
him. The former statement is natural, but
they claim Cameron would desert an uncle
by marriage if policy dictated. The rea
son that the vote of the Southern
members for Cameron is considered a Sher
man boom, is to be ascribed the well
known fact that Sherman has been sugaring
Southern Republicans most extensively.
Two of these -Southern votes—Purman, of
Florida, and Patterson, of South Carolina—
can be laid down to the fact that these men
were prevented from being bounced from
the committee by Don'Cameron on account
of their non residence in Florida and South
Carolina respectively. They gave their
votes as payment in kind. There are
some who claim that Don Cameron’s
selection as Chairmain meant Grant all
over. The only reason that can be assigned
for this statement Is the general drift of
Republican politics Grant-wards. The true
status of the selection of Cameron I believe
to lie in a very short paragraph. His
election was due to his per
sonal work and to a check book
of many leaves. He wanted the place for
the prestige, so-called, that it carries with
it. He Is not for Sherman, neither is he for
GraHt as yet, and is disposed to glance shyly
at Blaine. What influence Cameron may-
have as Chairman of this committee will be
thrown according to circumstances. If the
Republican party keeps up the Grant boom
he will go for Grant with all the influence
of the Pennsylvania Camerons, which Is a
power in the land. If, however, there Is a
wane In the Grant moon, his uncle by mar
riage, John Sherman, will receive the In
fluence, and next to him Blaine. There is
no doubt that the Sherman influence was a
partial factor In Don’s canvass. 8o much
for the Chairman. The choice of Secretary
fell upon Tom Keoeh, of North Carolina.
This office is not of much duration or even
of pending importance to give rise
to many predictions. Keogh is a Grant
man. In his selection was the only unquali
fied endorsement of Grant for the present.
He is a Southern individual, which carries
out a portion of the programme for the
Grant movement, which, like John Sher
man’s henchmen, Is making love t-o South
ern Republicans. The selection of Chicago
as the place for the next convention seems
to have been dictated more by the laws of
convenience and comfort than by political
considerations. Chicago, it Is true, Is in
Grant’s native State, but it was also
Blaine’s choice. Take the whole matter up
one side and down the other, we may say
that as a general rule the meeting of the
committee and Its results meant Grant,
with the proviso that his boom holds
out. Grant will return from Mexico
and Cuba after a tour through the South,
just before the meeting of the National
Convention, wherein the Grant boomers
again give evidence of their shrewdness.
The most interesting minor feature of the
meeting which, outside of the principal sub
jects considered, was a very ffnll one, was
the consideration of; Purman’s case. The
Republican central committee of Florida
was represented before the committee by
Wentworth, who was chosen by that com
mittee as Purmau’s successor. The resolu
tions of the Florida committee asking that
Purman be represented by Wentworth, be
cause he was now a resident of Pennsylvania,
and had settled there permanently, were
read
Putman made a long speech pleading in
his own behalf. His plea would have not
amounted to much if it had not been for
Don Cameron, who kept him on the com
mittee for his vote. Patterson, of 8outh
Carolina, who has also ceased to be a real
dent, of that State, was, as heretofore
stated, kept on by the same influence under
the same conditions.
So much attention is given to the subject
of this committee meeting and its collateral
bearings because it Is the first gun of the
preliminary political wrangling before the
next standard bearers of the two great
parties are chosen—I leave out altogether
Parson Felton and the National Greenback
Labor, etc., party. The work will now get
warm and warmer. There will be combina
tions on either side and attempted com
binations. The whole machinery that pre
cedes the Presidential nominations and the
jealous fighting for them has been set in
motion by the Republican committee meet
ing yesterday. It is evident that the tangles
in Republican ranks will be almost inter-:
mlnable. The Democrats may also be similar
ly involved, but the Indications are that there
will be more harmony in the Democratic
squabble than is u-ual in political manipu
lations. The Democratic National Com
mittee meets here during Christmas week.
It has nothing of importance to decide,
except the time and place of holding the
Democratic Convention. 8t. Louis and
Baltimore are most prominently mentioned
as the probable place, and a short time after
the Republican Convention as the time.
The Presidential pot has begun to boil, and
Washington Is the place where the lire is
lighted.
THE INDIANA CASE.
It has been stated that the House Com
mittee on Privileges aud Elections had de
cided that McCabe, Democrat, the contest
ant tor tbe seat of Orth, the Republican
from the Ninth Indiana district, was de
barred from prosecuting his contest, be
cause of his failure to produce testimony
before the committee. This is incorrect.
The contest is still open, and McCabe has
been granted an extension of time by the
committee to furnish testimony. There Is
no reason why this should not be done. He
did not fail because of neglect. It is im
portant. that, he should be given an oppor
tunity of making his contest good. As at
present constituted, if the Presidential elec
tion should be thrown into the House, In
diana would have the deciding vote, and
De JAMatyj:, the Republican Qreenbapker,
the balance of'power in the delegation.
THE FLORIDA REPUBLICAN FIGHT.
The Republican fight among themselves
In Florida Is the cause of a good deal of un
easiness in Republican circles here, and the
source of a good deal of amusement to
the Democrats. Conover, the leader
of one of the factions, says that
everything will cozne out all right, but will
not think of things being adjusted by his
side lowering the head. He says that if he
can get a place in Florida under the govern
ment he will soon fix things—bat, anyway,
will come out ahead. The city papers here
contain the statement that Conover is promi
nently mentioned for the vacant Postmaster-
ship of this city. There is a little fact con
nected with this announcement. Conover’s
friends had it printed because they wanted
to show the administration that Conover was
a prominent man, and thus help his boom
for a government position in Florida.
THE INFLUENCE Of TR5 ADMINISTRATION.
The report mentioned in this correspond
ence a few letters back that the administra
tion would sidle away from John Sherman
as a Presidential candidate is confirmed by
information but Tittle short of an “official
utterance.” The administration is now first
for Grant and then for Blaine. At the Gran t
reception in Philadelphia four members of
the administration went over to take part
In the celebration—Postmaster General Key,
Attorney General Devenq, Secretary fivarts
and the new Secretly of War Ramsey.

An action in the civil courts of Naples

Has Grant Got the People and the
Army t
New York Sun.
“I have the people and the army on
my side,” said Napoleon Bonaparte,
“he would be a fool who could not rule
with that.”
Many persons interpret the demon
strations along the route and at the
stopping places of Gen. Grant as indica
tions that he has so strong a hold on the
people that they will elect him President
for a third term, and that they would not
resist the conversion, at his beck, of our
free government into an empire with him
at its head.
Supposing this to be true, and Grant
to entertain an ambition for pifelong
power, his next aim will be to get pos
session of the army.
His long military service and the
prestige of his military successes will
essentially aid him in this.
Are the people blind?
Will they submit to tbe first step to
ward the overthrow of their free institu
tions by electing Grant President for a
third term?
Grant himself seems much more in
clined to follow the examples of the
Bonapartes—Napoleon First and Napo
leon Third—than the transcendently
glorious example of Washington.
