Post-Appeal: “A criminal case was
disposed of this week in Rockdale Superior
Court which embraced novel features of pe
arefn J°r ine, i?. h,inta and others who
are io the habit of making cash purchases of
and ° ther Potation products. The
Roc dale case was briefly this: Mr. A J
Pierce, a well-known merchant of the town of
Conyers, purchased some cotton of one Grain
grer, a farmer whom he had furnished with
supplies to aid him in making a crop. Grain
geri,a!ier< c liveriDK the cotlon > demanded the
cash due him or the return of the cotton
Pierce delayed making a settlement, and
Granger hiwl him indicted. Now.it is a fact
not generally known that persons who pur
chase cotton, or other plantation products for
cash, and neglect to pay for them on demand
or return the articles are guilty of fraud and
embezzlement under the Code.and are liable to
a term of imprisonment of from one to five
years In this particularase Pierce appeared
to be technically guilty under the law; but it
was so clearly shown that he had no criminal
intent and that he was waiting until he ascr
t&ined the amount of Grainger’s indebted
ness to him, that the jury returned a verdict of
acquittal. There is no doubt, however, that
many ccuntry merchants and others place
themselves frequently in a situation which
would enable the farmers who deal with them
to make out prosecutions for felony which
would result in conviction and ignominious
punishment.”
Pickens county correspondence Eliijay
ouri#r: “Asa Patterson has been seen br
some of his friends since he escaped jail, and
he the story, in substance, as follows:
They broke from the cage by filing or cutting
the brads from tbe rivets that fastened two
iron bars at the corner of the cage: then by
the aid of Quails, who was on the outside of the
cage, they prized the bars with a *ti ;k of wood
they found in the fire place, until a Space
about six by sixteen inches was produced, and
through which, with much difficulty, they es
caped from the cage. They then fell to work
on the rock wall of the jail, and werked at
that till nearly day, when, finding they had
struck a large rock they could not move, they
knew their only chance for escape was by
way of the dojrs. They first attempted to do
this by stratagem. Asa Patterson called to
Mr. Hazlewood, who was spending the night
w.th the Sheriff’s family, to come up
stairs quick, that Qualls, the lunatic,
was dying, at the Same time imitating
one of Qualls' fits as nearly as possible. It is
thought his intention was to run out over
Hazlewood when he opened ihe door, as
Hazlewood wiuld not be expecting to find the
Pattersons out of the cage. No one went to
look after Qualls, and, therefore, Patterson
knew his only chance was to break down the
doors. So each of tbe prisoners armed him
self with a large rock that had been picked
from the wall, anl struck the door simu tane
ously, break ng the lock bolt; they then like
wise struck the second door, breaking it from
the biDges. Patterson pushed Qualls out in
front, so that if any shooting was done Qualls
woull receive the discharge. The Pattersons
made their escape, but Qualls remained in the
house. The report that there were ten or
fifteen men was cause! from the fright of the
family. The noise was considerable, and the
sheriff's wife, hearing three men running
through the house aad knocking over chairs,
etc., and having h-ard Patterson say that the
K. K. had come, she was confident that the
house was full of men. But no men were
seen about the jail that night, and everything
eoes to show that Patterson escaped by his
own shrewdness.”

Galveston News.
The recent rather unseemly shunt
taken by the New York Herald as a
champion for Coukling in his quarrel
with Garfield is in a measure atoned for
by that paper’s latest incursion into our
putrid and mephitic politics. Whatever
motive may have actuated the llerald
in supporting Conkling and assailing
Garfield, it seems to have been led by an
inexorable logic of facts into a general
indictment of the Republican adminis
tration and the Republican party. The
Herald is constrained by the force of
this logic to say that the Republican
party long ago survived its usefulness,
and that “the sooner it goes to pieces
and makes room for another and better
party, the better it will be for the real
interests of the country.” Below are
the leading counts in the Herald's indict
ment:
•‘lt has resisted every reform; it his prevent
e! a repeal of every bit of the obsolete and
obstructive war legislation; it has maintained
every bad law on the statute book; it has
shown in every imaginable way its total inca
pacity to deal with public questions, and
whenever public opinion has pressed it to do
at least some trifliug good, it has adroitly got
up some new excitement about the South, or
some new, petty and uncalled for quarrel with
the Democrats, with the sole view to engage
tne attention of the people and draw their
minds away from puolic interests and real
questions. The Republican party has in tbe
general opinion fulfilled Ls mission. Why
should it not go to piecesf Why should any
one of its honest voters mourn over its disap
pea ranee - It may not be dead at this moment,
but it is rotten. It is the creature of railroad
and other corporation and monopoly in
fluences. Its most intimate relations
are no longer with the people. but
with the railroad and telegraph kings, the Jay
Goulds, Stanfords, Huntingtons and others of
that kind, who own and control Its managers
and chiefs. To say that such a party, which
deliberately chooses Dorsey as one of its pub
lic manipulators and unblushingly gives him
public dinners; which has protected aDd hon
ored Robeson; which openly courts fhe friend
ship of public plunderers; which, during four
years, sheltered Brady in his star routs jobbe
ries, and took part of hi* gains for its cam
paign fund after the exposures made of him in
Congress; to say that such a party, which
scarcely conceals its relations with ad- zen
lobbies, and many of whose public men live by
jobs—to say that this party, quarreling nqw
over the spoils, ought to Bye Is absurd It hag
lost even the respect for public opinion which
leads jobbers usually to divide their spots in
private.’’
It may be, as the Herald observes, that
“the old superstition that something
quite too awfully dreadful would hap
pen to the country if the Republican
party should cease to misgovern it, has
no longer nearly as much terror as it
used to have.” It may be, as the Herald
further observes, that'“Dorsey dinners,
Brady star routes, Indiana $2 bills, and
Hubbell letters have done a good deal in
the last few months to disillusion hottest
men wnq really beiieked’tnat' their party
was the sole repository of honesty and
all the other virtues.” It may be that
the mass of Republicans outside of the
hierarchy of spoils grabbers and profes
sional yoqld gladly spe
the party go to pieces and give
place to a purer, riiore wholesome
and more useful organization. No
question, thg intestine wtfr gov rag
ing in the Republican camp, so far as it
tends to the disorganization and final
dissolution of the Republican party,
should be a gratifying spectacle to all
good citizens, whether Republicans,
Democrats, Greenbackers or JmJeneu
dents. But fit not too much b 6 expect
ed from this battle about the spoils. A
well trained army of political brigands
is usually found ready to compose its in
ternal quarrels a<> uns aupj.oi.cq of &*o* : |
moo danger, and to close its ranks wheii
occasion urges for either offensive or de
fensive operations against tbe common
enemv. The remark of the Herald,
that ’ the Republican party “may
not be dead aV'tiP 6 but n is
rotten,” implies a great deal that ia not
particularly reassuring. A chronic cor
ruption in politics, like a chronic disease
in the human body, acquires a vitality,
an organic stability, a conservative force,
an aggressive and recuperative entray of
its own. Let it not be supposed, then,
that the Rep;qblipap party 'js moribund
simply because it ia rotteh, What else,
indeed, has given it buoyancy to keep
afloat up to this time but tbe intelligent,
fertile and thrifty rottenness of its spoils

A Weaver a? Astronomer.— At the
last sitting of the Natural Science Asso

modest dissertation which went to prove,
in a thorough, scientific way,the errone

connection with the parallax of the
earth. The author of thU“m°dest di;

Szily asserts, are moreover correct, is
only a master weaver named Ferdinand
Bernath, residing in Qxora, Hungary.
He is now fifty-six years of ago, father
of a family, and had in his childhood
only been able to frequent the elemen

DISINFECTANT,
A NEW AND WONDERFUL INVENTION
An Effective, Certain and Simple means of
Destroying
Bed Bugs, Cockroaches, Ants, moths
C and Parasites of all kinds. >
The apparatus for generating the steam
is an ordinary nursery lamp, holding
half a pint of the Medicated Fluid with,
a tube at the top to direct the Medicated
Steam upon any point infested with in
sects. It is heated with a small spirit
lamp beneath the boiler. For Dwellings,
Hotels, Steam Ships, Restaurants, etc.,
nothing ever discovered equals this ap
pliance. It is harmless to human life;
is inexpensive and simple in its use.
While a most potent means for destroy
ing vermin, it is the best disinfectant
known and may be most effectually used
to prevent the spread of contagious dis
eases, such as Yellow Fever, Scarlet
Fever, Typhoid Fever, Diptherla, Small
Pox, &c. One trial is the bes £ r oof of
