Wf* mentioned a lew days since that a
sharper in Rome had defrauded Mr. Speigel-
ber*. of -hat place, of several hundred dollars
In goods, and had made hs escape to New

The Hu’.'etin thinks that the great wants of
Rome are three—a cotton factory, a public
library, and public schools. It thinks that with
these the prosperity and future growth of the
city would be assured.
The Augusta Chrontgle says that three cars
of the down through freight of the Georgia
Railroad, loaded with a number of bales of
cotton, bound for Augusta, were totally de
stroyed by fire a couple of miles above Craw-
fordviile on that road Saturday morning, re
sulting in a total loss of $13,t0.*. As to the
ori-in of the fire no one seems to know, but it
is generally supposed that the cotton caught
from sparks fr. m the locomotive. The fire
must not have been discovered until it was un
der pretty good headway, as the track was so
damaged by the heat as to necessitate the lay
ing of new rails before the down pa-senger
train could pass. The rails were obtained
( from the sideling at Crawfordville, and, under
the supervision of Major Wilkins, the track
was made passible as soon as possible, it is
stated thatkhe cotton was fully insured.
A fire in Augusta Saturday night destroyed
the stables of Mr. Wheless on lower Greene

all heavily laden with cotton, came into the
city in a procession. The most of them w* re
packed on the street at the crossing of Broad
and St. Clair, aid ma le a business-like show

The Augusta News states that Matthew
Sheron, Esq., died at his residence in that city
Thursday night at 10 o'clock. Mr. Sberon was
Canal Wharfinger of the city, and held the
commission of Justice or the Peace, which
office he has administered in Augasta for
time whereof the memory of man runneth not
to the contrary. He was not a very old man
and his three score 3’ears had passed lightly
over his head. His active participation in
public affairs made his name and face familiar
to the people and he will be missed from the
places that knew him so well, lie was fora
long time Recorder for the city.
Col. William M. Hulsey, heretofore an inde
pendent candidate for Congress in the Fifth
district against Hon. W. M. Hammond, regular

The Madison Madisonian says that on Wed
nesday morning last Robert Moore, son of Mr.
J. K. Moore, one of the most worthy citizens of
that. town, was accidentally killed by being
Btruck with the lever of a syrup mill. He was
a bright lad of some ten or twelve years, and
was standing on some part of the machinery,
when, seeing the lever approaching,he attempt

caught and his head frightfully crushed. He
survived about five minutes after receiving the
blow.

Under the heading “A Distinction and a Dif

The Altamaha swamp abounds in bears. The

The Atlanta Constitution of Saturday chren-
icli-s the horrible detth of an unfortunate man
and the probable fatal injury of another. It
says: "lhia morning about three o'clock John
Jentzen. a barkeeper on Whitehall, near
Peters street, was aroused by loud groaning
emanating from the rear of his building. An
investigation discovered two men lying in a
dying condition In a small alley between his
building and an adjoining one. The u.en were
J<-e Gordon, a well-known painter in Atlarta,
and Jake Kries. proprietor of the Mitchell
Street Dye Works. An examination showed
that both men were in a miserable condition
and badly oruised and cut about the head,
neck and shoulders Just above wa* a land
ing. ending a flight of steps leading from
White hail street to the second floor
of the building, and it is supposed
that the two men fell from this landing
to the ground below, a distance of about
thirty fe t. As soon as possible tbe unfortu
nate men were removed and medical aid sum
moned. Dr. Roach arrived and assisted in re
moving Mr. Kries to his home, where he now
lies in a ver>- critical condition. Mr. Kries has
been insensible since, his discovery, and conse
quently noibing can be learned from him in re
gard to the accident. Mr. Gordon was also
placed upon a lit'.er and started to his room on
Broad street, b'.t when m front of Sv-wart &
Fain's store died. He was then carried to the
station house, where he now is. His face is
badly bruised, and the 1 a'1 evidently caused his
deatn. Kries' insensibility and Gordon's death
preclude a i possibility of ascertaining the
« ause of the death of the one and the injury of
the other, and the lateness of the hour pre
vents the printing of further particulais in this
issue”
Augusta has had a visitation of the $329
business. The Chroncle says: ‘It is he:e.
Augusta has got it badly and there is no por
tion of the city exempt from its awful pres
ence. The truth is. look where you will ard
there you will find the inquisitive trio Leav
ing home early Saturday morning, we had
scarcely gained the street when our bewildered
eves caught sight of the cabalistic figures.
There they were, chalked on the door post, on
the pavement, on the tree box, on tbe water
plug. TUese figures were plain and very
readable; we did not have to slacken our pace
to catch a clear observation of them Boon,
drifting with the current of busy life moving
along our thoroughfares, we reached the post
office, and to our amazement and astonished
vision, there, too. w- re those questioning fig
ures. There wasn ) exemption granted by the
defacing hand, even to the building of the Gen
eral Government, inde ;d. the post office build
ing just seemed as if it furnished a first-rate
blackboard to practice upon. We soon reached
Broad street, but everywhere visible were the
foot-prints of tbe awful monster with three
heads. Nothing had b- en too high or low, too
sacred or profane, Cco costly or insig-ificent
for its baleful touch. We observed, moreover,
that there wa* a striking similar^' in the
curves and lints of the crayon figures, as if
they were the children of the same hand where-
ever the3 - appeared, and. as we have said, they
we e actually everywhere. They were on the
steps cf private residences, on tne bank doors,
on tbe lamp posts, on the barbers' poles, on tbe
merenants’ signs, and on the curbstones.
a hen did they- come, from whence, who sent
them, and what did they m«an? Such were
some of 1 he many questions that stole out from
the triangular faces of the mystic three, and
racked our brains to solve. The figures were
just 32.4. no more and no less, ia company with
themselves, without soliciting association from
any quarter.”

Blacesii ear, October 23.—Fellow Citizens :
It was my purpose to have met many of you
since the recent Congressional Convent ion at
Savannah, but I have been prevented from
making a personal canvass of the district by
imperative duties at home. I desire to briefly
hut earnestly address you through the public
press.
We are approaching the end of the most im
portant campaign of th : s generation. On the
first Tuesday of November next our present
form of government will be substantially
put upon trial, with the American people
as the jury. The people of the South are pe
culiarly interested in the verdict, for upon it
the j .dgment will be entered up. either that
we ar to be governed as conquered provinces,
or that equa; rights to every section shall be
maintained. By the term equal rights, I
mean to cover the entire territ -ry: Exemption
from 1 he use of troops at the polls, or deputy
rnardi.il. on election days, a revision of the
tariff so that its burden-Shull Le borne alike
by the manufacturer and the consumer, aud a
thorough change of the internal revenue laws
so that ihe tax may be* gathered from the in
come of cap.tal, and be removed from the pro
ductions of the soil in the r.ands of the pro
duce s. Tbe issues aresh irply defined between
tne two great parties or the Union. The
Democratic party is planted firmly on the Con
stitution stnctl3' construed, which guarantees
the reserved rights of the States —
a tariff for revenue only*, an internal revenue
S3’stem whose burdecs shall be equitabl> - dis-
iributed, and entire freedom from sectional
i -m of class, color or geographical divisions.
The Republican partv not 011I3' tiolrs tbe re
verse of these propositions in theory, but for
the last twenty years they have put that
theory into practice, and have in addition
given the American people an administration
Of the government unparalleled for fraud and
c rruption in all of its departments. Give them
another four years lease of power, and, in my
opinion, good government. Iibert3' controlled
by law, will be at an end on this continent.
Fellow-citizens, “» hoose 3'ou this da3‘ whom
ye will serve.” Are 3 ou. Democrats, opposed
to the powers of the govern - ent being
wielded 03* one man in the interest of favored
classes, and subversive of the rights of ob
noxious sections? If >-ou are. the service is
to be rendered by works. "Faith without
works is dead.” You can only show a lively,
fruit bearing faith by coming to the polls on
(he 2d day of November ami casting your bal
lots for Hancock and English and tor Geo. R.
B ack. In vieu of the large Democratic ina-
jorit3* in Georgia, tho last is Ihe more import
ant duty cf ths two. The national ticket may
be able to get aloDg without j our votes—the
district ticket requires ihem I appeal to each
individual member of thepart3*. to mv friends,

to allow our defeat to be laid at the door of
either one cf 3 - ou. We can elect Black and we
m 1 - do it. The Republicans are fully al ve
th- importance of electing the member from
this di-trict. and the3’ are using a large cor
ruption fund wrung from the employes of the
Federal Government to accomplish it. w e need
no such despicable aid. We, the people, have
the unpurchased power. Shall we refuse to
exercise it? We are appealed to in this contest
not only by our pride as Democrats and Geor
gians, but we cannot afford to allow this dis
trict to be represented by a Republican It

re-id3’ to be certain that the next Ho se of

loss of one member.
Our standard l>earer, the Hon. George R.
Black, is an upright, pure citizen. He is ab e,
and is true to ever}- trus*; well worthy to suc-
ceei the faithful Paine and the gifted Har-
tridge. How can we lefuse to stand by him in
th»* last oitch : and to follow him to victory?
We have just passed through a bitter and la
mentable State campaign, with brave and
patriotic Georgians on either side in the con
flict. Mirely, surely, we have sufficient rran-
hood and patriotism to quickly bury out of
sight the unseemly remains of this strife, to
enab e us to join hands o*er its ashes, ana to
renew our vows to the grand old pari3'. Let
us together on the first Tuesday in November
next pledge our sacred honor and swear eter
nal fidelity to Democatic principles. Let us
as ore man. rally to the polls, ana roll up such
a majority for Black as will shed lustre on tbe
histor3' or the First Congressional district of
Georgia. Your fellojv citizen,

therefore, bo it rasoLcd,
First. That we, as cRizens of Bulloch county,

Paris, October 23.—A telegram from Con
stantinople 6tates that in consequence of
the representations of the ambassadors of
the powers, the Porte has again promised
the speedy surrender of Dulclgno.
London, October 23.—The speech of the
King of Greece at the opening of the
Chambers on Thursday last Is variously in
terpreted by the British press, but tbe
weight of opinion .‘■eems inclined to regard
it as a peaceful rather than a warlike mani
festo. Tbe King’s declaration that the
army will not be disbanded Is held
to mean that it will not be sent across the
frontier, as, If the latter had been the inten
tion, the King would have so declared. Tbe
British press unanimously counsel patience
to the Greeks, and there Is no disposition
anywhere to support the government in its
endeavor to coerce Turkey on the Greek
question.
The opposition journals use the present
deadlock as a basis of attack on Gladstone’s
Eastern policy. If the Turks fulfill their
promises to surrender Dulcigno, it seem?
certain that no further action bv the powers
in concert can be brought about.
A dispatch from Constantinople says the
latest advices state that Riza Pacha has
taken measures for the disarmament of the
Albanians in Dulcigno.
Londjn, October 24—A dispatch from
Constantinople to the Reuter Telegram
Company, dated Saturday, savs: “Germany
has pmpostd to Austria and France certain
identical measures of a pacific character for
the pp ; edy settlement of the Dulcigno
que»tion.
The Sultan has ordered Riza Pasha, under
any circumstances, to surrender Dulciguo
within five days, but the conditions of tbe
convention remain in dispute. There is
also a fresh difference as to the road by
wh'ch the Montenegrins shall advauce ou
Dulcigno.
Riza Pa.<ha has undertaken to form a cor
don around Dulcigno to prevent Albanian
invasion.
A later dispatch says: “In obedience to the
Porte’s orders to Riza Pasha to surrender
Dulcigno In five days, ti e Ottoman Com
missioner has withdrawn the several condi

bly those relating to the retention of the

By Telegraph to ihe Morning Xews.
New York, October 23.—General Grant
appeared as a witness before the Warren
Court of Inquiry to-day. His recollections
of the details of the battle of Five Forks
were somewhat dim, and many inquiries
received from him the answer, “I do not
remember.” When it came to the question
as to the order of Grant authorizing Sheri
dan to relieve WarreD, a legal controversy
took place on tbe suggestion of
Stickney, counsel for Warren, that
the witness’ previous opinion of
Warren as a matter of justice should not go
on the record. When It had lasted about
ten minutes Grant broke in with the follow
ing statement: “1 don’t think the order
was sent In consequence of any reports that
had been sent me, but my action was dicta
ted by my opinion of General Warren, and,
as I knew what I thought his defects were,
I should not have called the fifth corps
in had it not been the nearest at hand I
intended It (meaning the battle of Five
Forks) to be the fioal battle of the war.”
A tilt between Stickney and Gardner fol
lowed this statement. Stickney charged
that his opponent was trving to weigh War
ren with the adverse opinion of the first
American soldier of his day. Major Gard
ner insisted that General Grant’s reasons
for ordering W’arren’s relief should be in
cluded in the record. The court ruled that
testimony regarding the events previous to
March 31st should be ruled out.
Stickney asked witness whether he might
not be mistaken, and the answer by the
General was that he was not prepared to
admit that; he did not pretend to be infal
lible, but didn’t mistake there.
As a favor to himself, Stickney requested
the production of the dispatches which
were sent regarding General Warren 011 the
first day of the battle.
General Grant conferred with General
Badeau, who sat beside him, for tbe purpose
of aiding In refreshing his memory. Then
copies of the several dispatches which had
passed between Grant and Meade were read.
The General thought the dispatches had
some familiarity, but could not recollect the
circumstances of sending them, although
he had no doubt that he had sent them.
Some further testimony followed, and in
regard to tbe statement that Warren had
suggested an attack on the enemy’s rear,
witness had no knowledge, and admitted he
had no recollection to the contrary. He
found, he said, that when officers undertook
to think for themselves, instead of promptly
obeying ordtrs, it generally led to defeat.
He did not like it, and In conclusion said:
“That led to the removal of one officer.”
This put 8rickney on the alert, as War
ren was evidently referred to, and he
insisted on having the latter part of the an
swer stricken out, and, as there was a desire
1 on the part of its author not to have it go
‘ on the record, It was ruled out. Once be
fore he had been questioned as to his knowl
edge of Warren’s movements, and his an
swer was that he had no recollection of the
matter furtner than that he had been disap

THE POLITICAL SITUATION,
A* Viewed by an Autl-Sectlonal Re
publican.
8t. Mary s, Ga., October 23.—Editor Morning
News: I see by letters in your paper of the
16th that Mr. Wm. E. Dodge is taking a lively
interest in the coming election tor Congress
man in the First district of Georgia. It is well
known that Mr. Dodge stands high as a p.ener-
ons Christian man, and it is equally as well
known that in the city in which he resides there
are many other Christian men who have been,
atd are now, his equals in all that is commend
able. but who entertain entirely opposite views
from what Mr. Dcdge expresses in the letters
referred to.
I wili not charge Mr. Dodge with having an
‘ axo to grind,” for, beyond a doubt, he is
influenced by a mistaken idea that he is ad
vancing the interests of the freedmen. On the
contrary, ho is encouraging them to be thrift
less by giving them a vague idea that they are
necessary for the preservation of the govern
ment. and that they will always be provided
with funds in election times.
Let Mr Dodge ask some of his Northern
superintendents here iq Georgia what their
opinion is of tho colored politician, and I think
they would enlighten him.
It is Mr. Dodge's privilege to give his money

Ferxaxdina, Nassau Cocntt. Fla., I
Gclf Hammock, Otter Creex P. O.. Lew
County. Florida. October20.— Editor Morning
News: Levy county possesses many natural
advantages hitherto but little noticed. Per
sona traveling by railroad to Cedar Keys would
naturally conclude that if what they saw along
the route approached an average specimen of
the soil, there could be very limited induce
ments to seek a home In that section of the
country.
The surface of the county presents three dis
tinct features. The northern portion is some
what rolling, plantations generally small, set
tlements are chosen with the view of combin
ing as many n ltural facilities as possible, and
where the soil has a go jd clay foundation or a
substratum of shell marl (which is frequently
found), farming, gardening and stock raising is
both pleasant and profitable.
Tbe central portion of the coanty, extending
twelve to fifteen miles south from the neigh
borhood of Bronson, the seat of justice, is prin
cipally flat piney woods, settled sparsely along
the banks of the Wacosassa and Wekiva rivers,
and prized most highly at present for its splen
did cattle range and floe Umber, which last
will in a few years find a paying market in the
shape of sawed lumber and logs floated by way
of the outlet streams and the Gulf to Cedar
Keys. This part of the county, though quite
level, ha* sufficient descent to admit of drain
ing off the surplus rain water that accumu-
1 lies iu numerous shallow ponds in the rainy
season. *1 lie surface is naturally dry. but with
out artificial drainage, fai's to disenarg* the
heavy rainfall sufficiently rapid to prevent in
jury to growing crops, especially if very wet
seasons. The soil possesses a great proportion
of the natural elements of fertility, but to ren
der this ncrUon attractive, a system of drain
age would be required that would be too ex
tensive for any average individual enterprise;
yet it might be accomplished to great advan
tags by a well directed system of co-operat'on.
The southern, or Gulf hammock portion of
the county comprehends by far the most ex
tensive aud most fertile connected body of
land in the State. The surface is undulating
and generally higher than the flat pine count rv.
The natural growth is magnolia, hickory, bay,
cherry, cedar, gum, ash. persimmon, and every
variety of oak.
The soil is especially adapted to the growth
of the orange, to which much attention is now
S ven. Sixteen groves have been p anted with
the past two years. I have seen some trees
fifteen feet high, grown since February, 1877.
Nearly everyone who Tbits this part of th*
country becomes prepossessed in its favor
The present population is made up of North
Carolinians, keutuckions, Georgians, Pennsyl
vanians. Illinoisans, one Irishman, and two
Englishmen.

Gentlemen—I have been using DR. SIM
MONS LIVER REGULATOR for ten rears and
I always found it to do the work that it claimed
to do. The last bottle of medicine that I
bought dii me little or no good. I also tried
two package*, and found Them worse than
nothing and did me no good. You will find en
closed a sample and w rapper which I see is not
put up by ZEILIN A (*0.. and not good or
ceauiiM, and must be a fraud, and anyone Jus*
throws away his money to buy it. I want the
medicine very bad. If I could get the PURE
and GENUINE
Simmons Liver Regulator
I would be very glad. I suffer for the want of
just such a medicine as Dr. Simmons Liver
Sfedi-ine was when it was made pure and made
by you. Send me a bottle and package right
from the honest hands, with your big red Zand
signature on the wrapper. I want it from the
manufacturers themself**, so I know it is pure.
The fictitious stuff soil will injure some one
yet badly, but you must keep up ihe medicine
in defiance of all counterfeiters and piratee,
for to allow this medicine to go down would be
a great krs and the public would be ruined—I
myself especially.

In San Francisco the leaders oI society
have been giving a series of tableaux
from the worfca 01 popular authors in aid
of the poor. Each performance was
opened by a procession, in which char
acters from many celebrated works fig
ured. Tbe female wealth and beauty of
the city were represented in, spec
tacles. At the head was a guard of girls
in military uniforms of scarlet and
co\d. And after them came personages
from the ''Iliad,” Bret Ilarte, Bulwer,
Dickens, Keade, Shakespeare, and tho
Bible. All the costumes were uppropri
ate, and, in mos’ instances, the
parts were takeu by persons whose
appearance was suitable. After the
parade, they took their places in
separate booths for tableaux, and,
finally, to sell refreshments and
other things. The affair was a great so
cial and financial success. Some of the
ladies, however, are said to have made
sacrifices of propriety in costuming them
selves fur mythological characters.

The Monument of Dr. Lovick Pierce.
Columbus Enquirer.
Allow me, Mr. Editor, a brief state
ment ami appeal in behalf of this move
ment. Tbe name of Dr. Pierce is fa
miliar to the ears of Columbus people,
old aud young. This city was long bi.i
cherished home. For Columbue he had
an undying affection. Nearly a year
ago his venerated form was laid in our
city cemetery. His brethren of the South
Georgia Conference resolved to erect a
monument to his memory, and appoint
ed a committee to direct as to plans
ways and raeaaa. Kev. .J. O. A. Cook,
of the ht. Luke Church, is one of that
committee. What tbe writer is now do
ing is with his sanction and his advice.
The committee resolved to build the
monument on tho beautiful lot of St.
Luke Church, a most appropriate place
in every view. An appeal was made to
the public long ago for contributions to
erect this projected monument. The
committee hoped there would be a spon
taneous response by his numerous friends
throughout Georgia (and elsewhere) to
this appeal- No pubiio collection was
to be taken. It was supposed this would
be unnecessary, as tbo structure would
not be of great cost. 6mall sums given
from so many would amply meet the de
mand, and this might be expected with
out solicitation.
So far as ColutnhQ3 ia concerned, I re
gret to say, this hope has not been real
ized. Probably less has been done
elsewhere. Very naturuliy, it would be
expected for Columbus to take the lead
for obvious reasons, but chiefly because
the- doctor lived here, an<l ia huiied here,
and here his monument is to be reared.
Our young poonk: and a few others have
given for this object something less than
one hundred dollars. This amount has
been made by trifling contributions, and
without canvassing. But the time has
come when action ought to be taken
equal to tho need. Moat people will
help, but they wait to he asked.
Everybody venerated this gifted and
aa ntly man in life, and surelv none
would object to aid in building a monu
ment as a lasting testimonial of affection
and admiration.
The contmitteo have not planned an
exptm.ive work—they will build accord
ing to the money. Dr. Pierce is worthy
of a pyramid for a monument; let the
structure at least be worthy of Colum
bus, if not of the great aDd good man.
Mr. J. A. Bradford, of SL Luke’s
Church, and A C. Flewelien, of Bt.
Paul, have been appointed to canvass
the city in this matter, and they have
agreed to act. Large sums are not asked,
though they would be thankfully re
ceived. A handsome amount can be
raised if every one a-ked should respond
even with a small gift. Money may be
paid to either of these gentlemen or to
Mr. Binford, or to Kev. J. O. A. Cook.
