g^Tlio Valdosta Times is of the opip-
ion that Thomasville is ‘'rubhiq^

The vote for the Democratic State
ticket in Alalmma last week was 8ft-
UW. Xo opposition. The legisla
ture is almost solidly Democratic.
The Campaign in the Seventh is
hot, hotter, hottest! its nip and tuck.
There’s going to be .VVlose vote, and
somrliodi will lead in the race.
si Lowndes comity correspondent
of the Valdosta Times urges the re-
noniination of lion. Wni. K. Smith to
Congress, niton a sound and sensible
argument.
“An iiilirin, small, cheap, man, who
likes to hear himself talk, hut doesn’t
mean any of it, or remember any of
it.” is Senator Chaffee's estimate of
tin* President.
The recent changes made in the
I'acnlty and Hoard of Trustees of the
Ceorgia I nivcwity, seems to inspire
renewed hopes of the building up
of the Institi. ion.
Dr. II. II. Carlton has given up

county, says positively that his naiiie

Convention. Judge Kiddoo enter*

him.
The Camilla Contention promises

no excitement, however, and predict
that the session will he short, aud
IViu. K. Smith he selected as the

egates to the Macon Convention,
which meets September 4th. Ifpn. 1.

The Camilla Convcutiou will prob
ably begin business with three candi
date- seeking two-thirds of the forty
votes, lions. Wm. K. Smith, B. B.
Bower and II. U.Turncr. The friends
of Captain Smith are certain that he
will have twenty-two to begin with
Col. Bower’s friends claim for him ten
votes on first ballot, and Capt. Turn
er will probably control eight.
Perham, of the Quitman Free Press,
threatens to let Dougherty county se
verely alone on the Congressional
question. As one of the organ grind
ers of the discontents, Pcrham’s prom
ised departure is a wise one. He has
already come very near murderin
the aspirations of Captain Turncr.-
Some friends are over zealous, you
kuow.

A line at the bottom adds: ‘-Subject

Old Beast Batter.
Poor old Spoony! The Rads have
kicked him out ol their party, and
the Democrats wouldn’t have hint, so
he takes his flight, and alights finally
upon the stump of the mythical
‘'Greenback Party.” The Beast went
up into Maiue last week, and made a
speech of two hours length in behalf
of E. If. Gove, Greenback candidate
for Governor of the State.
He said he came not to make
speech, but to commune with the |>eo-
ple on the public interests of the day.
He had left the old parties. He hail
lielongcd to the Democratic party till
had attempted to destroy the union.
He was with the Republican party
till it destroyed its founders, the ta
iloring men. The capitalists now hold
ihe Republican party bound hand and
foot. Hayes has violated every pledge
and betrayed the negroes of the
Sooth. The effort of Grant's admin
istration to strengthen the public cred
it was a swindle. He reviewed the
history of the greenback currency and
claimed that it should be made a le
gal tender for all debts—public and
private.
The Beast is politically dead. An
auction sale of ail the spoons he ever
stole would not resurrect him from
lila political grave. Onradvise to“tlie
man with a bad eye” is: Go West, to
Colorado for iustancc.

The Health of Savannah.—Tin
Augusta Chronicle say*:
For several days past rumors have
prevailed in Augusta to the effect Hint
there was yellow fever in .Suvaiinali.
Hearing a report of this kind yester
day, a Chronicle reporter called on
Captain Robert Fulligant, of Savan
nah, who arrived in Augusta a day
or twti ago, and asked him if there
was any truth in the rumor. Captain
Kalligant said there was not the
-lightest foundation for it. The city
wus healthier than it liud been for
years, and all necessary sanitary
means had been adopted to keep it so.
There was no case even of the bil
lions fever which usually prevails at
this season of tlic year.
Col. Stephen (!. Dellruhl, formerly
of Brunswick, died receutly at his
home in Florida.
There has been a fatal shooting af
fair at Austin, Miss., between Bnd
Evans and Wm. Fret well. Both are
reported killed.
It is announced that Congressman
Whittchoni says lie will, when Con
gress meets in December, take meas
ures to expose and bring to justice the
men organized in the conspiracy to
rob the Frccdmcn’s Bank.
Advices from Xcw Orleans, dated
11th, say the yellow fever statement
for tlic past twenty four hours is as
follows: New cases, 22; deaths, 14.
At Port Eads to date there are 25
cases and 5 deaths reported.
A dispatch front Alexandria to the
Daily Standard says tlic river Nile is
rising, and is now higher than at any
time last year. The prospects for tlic
crops arc excellent. It is estimated
that the Egyptian cotton crop will
yield one hundred and twelve million
pounds.
Five masked burglars attempted to
rob the office of the Metropolitan
Street Railway in Georgetown. The
officers hail notice that a robbery
would be attempted, and concealed
themselves ill the office. They fired
upon the burglars, and shot two—one
fatally. The others escaped
Tlic workmen in tlic vicinity of
Mauch Chuuk, Pennsylvania, have
generally posted up notices that they
must have as the basis the wages of
1875, or they will strike. The more
curious thing is that tlic operators in
Hazleton have recently conceded the
1875 basis, just what the men now de
mand. Whether the matter will re-
suit in a strike is not known.
During a political discussion, last
week, at Apperson levee, Arkansas,
in which Wm. Beaty, Sheriff pro.
tcm., and Edward Lewis, Republican
nominee, and their respective friends
were engaged, objection was made
by the colored people present to 011c
of the speakers giving Lewis’ record.
A pistol shot being fired led to a gen

Impressive funeral services were
held at Williford, Conn., last Sunday
for those who lost their lives by the

seven bodies have been interred.—
Seventeen persons, three of whom

The mass meeting of the Socialistic
Labor party at Brooklyn on the lltli,
was a failure, only four or five lead
ers being present. Resolutions de
nunciatory of the mode of procedure
of the Hewitt Congressional Labor

Boston, Aug. 10—Col. J. F. Trent-
ler, chief constable of South Carolina,

a full hearing he had. The indict
ment upon which the requisition is

The Assault Upon Col. Jones in
Macon-
THE INCIDENTS LEADING TO THE DIFFI
CULT V, AND HOW IT TOOK PLACE—
COL. JONES’ VERSION OF THE AFFAIR.
Special DUpstrli to (ho ConaUtuliou.)
Macon, August 8—The erroneous
telegram about tlic affair which oc
curred here on Wednesday, in which
an assault was made oii Col. II. II.
Jones, of the Teleijra/th «fc Messenger,
is in such violation of truth, eontains
so many misstatements, and so many
supnressions, that I mu compelled to
semi the true statement ofthe facts.—
Tho editorial correspondence you
published wns tho cause ofthe difficul
ty. The article was objected to by
Mrs. II. R. Strocmcr, tho daughter of
the old gentlemen alluded to. On
Wednesday morning she sent to the
Telegraph <£ Messenger office, saying
“aladr wished to see Col. Jones” at
Selmirs shoe store, four doors from
his office, lie went immediately to
the store and asked what wns wanten.
She replied; “I would like to see
yon outsiile.” Col Jones wns totally
unaware of her relationship to the
man alluded to iu tlic letter, nnd was
a total stranger to hint. Oii reaching
tlic street she siviflv drew a cowhide
secreted in tlic folds of her dress, and
with tlic remark: “I nm Mrs. Stroo-
mcr, the daughter of Mr. McLaugh
lin, whom you dastardly insulted,”
proceeded to strike him when lie
caught both hor hands, wresting the
cowhide from her grasp, and said in
substance, “you nro a woman, and
therefore, safe, but I must prevent
this violence.” A policeman coming
up, Col. Jones released her, but re
tained the whip. A bystander in
formed him that the husband of Mrs.
Stroemer wns in a neighboring store,
he proceeded thither, nml with the
same instrument assaulted him. After
a few blows the senior partner of tlic
house pinioned the arms of Col. Jones
exclaiming “you have both hail satis
faction, and this must stop.” Col.
Jones acquiesced, and while held by
both arms, received a violent blow
from Mrs. Stoemer, which, of course,
was not resented. The article in
question was written witli no inten
tion to offend, without malice, and no
wish to wound, aud he would gladly

AN KIMiKFIKI.il “DIFFICULTY.”
Xkw Yoiik, August RI.—A Special
from Augusta, Gn., says a difficulty
occurred at Edgefield, South Caroli
na, yesterday in wliieli three men—
Booker Toney, Thomas Booth nml
James Booth were killed and seven
others wounded—one mortally.
The trouble grew out of a family
feud of longstanding. Toney’s broth
er was killed several years ago, amt
Tom-y sus|ieetcd the murder was com
mitted by tlie Booths. He therefore
swore lie would kill the tatter on
sight.
Tlie hostile parties met to-day,
when Tony proceeded to carry out
Ids threat, lie drew Ills pistol and
tired—killing the two Booths before
be was killed himself. Tlic friends
of both parties were drawn into the
light and about seventeen shots were
fired.
There was a Democratic political
meeting in progress at the time, about
half a mile from Edgefield, in which
the shooting occurred, aud Governor
Hampton, who was at the meeting, ns
soon as lie heard of tlie figlil, ordered
a company of State troops to the
scene. There was 110 lighting after
the soldiers reached tlic spot.
epair any unintentional injury com
mitted on parties to him unknown.—
He did not know Mr. McLaughlin
before he introduced himself. Ilc had
on the morning of the assault just re
turned from a business trip, and did
not know what olfense had been
taken. I11 view ofthe facts I will al
low your intelligent readers to judge
in whose favor public favor leans.
A Friend.
The following card appears in tlic
Telegraph «6 Messenger of Saturday :
Personal—The writer experiences
the deepest regret that a private diff
iculty, which was forced upon him,
should hnvc found its way into print
through a false and malicious tele
gram to the Atlanta Constitution,
which escaped the eve of the editor-
in-chief, who was sick when it was
received.
Colonel Howell, botli by telegraph
and in a private letter, kindly ex
presses his disapproval of this shame
less missive, and we thank Dim for
his friendly words.
As one of the editors of the only
daily paper in Macon, the undersign
ed has considered it due to all con
cerned that he should preserve silence
upon a matter in which he was an act
ing participant, nml make no exparte
statement to which exception might
be taken. It is sufficient to say that
the unfortunate rccontrc which
was precipitated upon him, he acted
fully and thoroughly in consonance
with that respect and consideration
which is dne to tlie weaker sex under
all circumstances by every true gen
tlcman, and yet fully vindicated his
true mannood.
If the writer lias ever in Ills career
as an active, stirring aud laborious
editor of a daily journal, given of
fense by his multitudinous articles, of
ten jotted down without due time for
refisetion, deeply does he deplore it,
and sympathize with every heart lie
has caused to suffer.
In the present instance, had lie
dreamed that the unfortunate pleas
antry in his late Augusta letter—to
tally devoid as it was of malice—
would have grieved an unoffending
family, gladly should it have been
suppressed, or reparation made at tlie
earliest moment.
It is no humiliation to the truly
brave to make tlic amende honorable
when no offense was intended, ami
the act is not only just, hut iiiagnanr
moils. II. If. Jones.
