evioknck to convict.
A negro woman on the Moughon
place was carried before the Grand
Jury of I.co on Thursday last; and
testified about as follows concerning
the crimes committed : That the ne
gro politicians were complaining of
political affairs iu Georgia, and had
determined to burn out the ginhousos
of the neighborhood, mid emigrate to
Florida. Thai she saw one,
CORNELIUS BONO, COLORED,
living on the plaee, split splinters in
Ids house, and heard him inquire for
a box of matches, and saw him lay
them on his mantelpiece. Suspicion
also rested on
AMOS BROWN, COLORED.
Both of these are political skirmish
ers. Witness further testified that at
a meeting on Monday night
FRANK UYI.KIl,
on the Fowl Town place,said: “Wc
failed lo burn up the Byron gin house
tint will finish Wednesday.”
From some cause or other they
changed their plans, anil instead of
the Byron place receiving tlioir dev’'
ilish work, they turned on the Muiigli
on place.
Amos and Cornelius woke up the
witness anil told her they had set fire
to the gin house and not to say any
thing about it, ottering her money
out of their cotton when sold, if she
would keep quiet, and threatened to
kill her if she exposed them.
It seems that these viHimis were
regularly organized, anil had uot
their plans been broken into so early
there is no telling how greatly our
people would have sullered by tlioir
crimes. Wo believe they have been
led to commit these deeds liy the
teachings of corrupt loaders, and there
is some political significance ill the
case. Wc hope it will all he dearly

punished to the extent of the law.

Hall next Wednesday and Thursday
evenings with his first-class dramatic
company. Since Mr. Templeton was
last in our city he lias met with very
great success, and is now enabled to
present a show far more excellent than
ver. Tlie piece selected for Wed
nesday night is "Lost Love” or “Good
bye Sweet-heart,” concerning which
the Cincinnati Press says:
‘•Lost Love.” lust evening, was very
attractive nml successful, and it is so
good a play that it gives pleasure in
its success, as well ns in itself. The
iierv that frames it is worthy of
the sweet sentiments and gentle re
finement tiiat pervades the piece. It
is one of the most delicious and
charming works that have grown out
of tlie finest intellectual influence of
modern fiction, tlie genius of Rhodu
Broughton. It was under the spell
of that marvelous analyst the author
found his mental groove, anil devel
oped his resources of invention and
sentiment.
••Lost Love” is a beautiful love sto
ry, anil it is put charmingly upon the
stage; the east is judicious and quite
intisfactorv. Alice Vane was a line
type of a refined nature ami kindly
breeding, witli a sarcastic streak nl
disbelief iu matrimony. She made
her way deep into the sympathies of
her audience. Her acting of her role
was an artistic ami dramatic triumph.
The mental agonies ami the stiflerings
of disease she depicted with touch
ing power, anil her step, her eye, her
voire, obeying her genuine dramatic
instinct, moved to its unallcctcd and
temperate power. There iiro no un
even points in her performance; she
never loses tier perfect commnutl of
every situation. She certainly creates
a new atmosphere throughout tliu
whole play, refining it from the course
realities of Paris into the pure ethc-
realism of tlie fabled Areudiii.
“The pleasure of Hie audience
showed that many more representa
tions oi this play may lie expected.-
It does not come often and it cannot
stay too long. Miss Fay Templeton,
as usual, was charming in her opera
sketches, and really eaplivateil the
hearts of her admirers bv her ehnste
and delightful singing. We strongly
recommend this company to all ad
mirers of legitimate drama.

JOTTLVGS OF A TRIP TO SAVA.VYAH.
While attending n convention of
lumbermen in Savannah, wo were in
vited by our young friend, E. E.
Cheatham, to visit the shipping in
port. Wc found tlie question of di
rect trade with Liverpool and other
foreign ports had been solved, aud
think the Georgia Legislature had
hut little to do with the solution.—
There is now in this and other coun
tries shipping sufficient to carry the
products of our cotton fields wherev
er it is wanted, and no other law is
necessary except laws of trade that
govern all people. Seven large iron
steamships were loading for foreign
porta, besides u number of sail ves-
sels. Coasting steamers also go out
almost daily, loaded with cotton for
the eastern cities. Wo need not be
troubled over the direct trade move
ment any longer, as wo now have it,
and cannot charge to the want of it
the present low price of the leading
product of tlie South. Producers
must look nearer home for tlie cause
>f eight cent cotton, nml they alone
•an remedy tlio evil by not producing
so inut-h of it. Excepting the for
warding and shipping business, we
found the city quiet, more so than
usual, all on account of tlie low p'rice
ot the staple.
Dealers iu lumber are complaining
of the same disease that is affecting
i’otlou planters, viz: low prices, and
think the remedy, lo a great extent,
lies in the management of the busi
ness where it is manufactured.
A visit to the Morning Meirs office
found the genial proprietor in a
pleasing mood, ready to give his
ountrv brother a hearty shako of the
hand, and a word of cheer, on ac-
ount of tlie rule established by this
paper, requiring prepayment of sub
scription. Cel. Estill’s establishment
is an ornnment to the city anil to tlie
State, being in every respect equal
to any similar establishment North
or South.
Wc are under obligations to Mr. R.
R. Reppard, at whose house wo made
our home, for special favors showu
us while in tlie city.
YVe are pleased to know (hat the
Atlantic & Gulf Railroad is placing

YVlieti you sell your cotton, save
money enough to pay for the Fruit
Trees you ordered from the Nashville
Commercial Nurseries, and don’t for
get to come to Albany after them on

Think over It, ponder over-fit,

We believe we have In Georgians
fair ami productive country aeatiy
upon which the sun shines. Croak
ers mid discontents may lift their
cries of dissatisfaction; idlers, hybrid
compounds of obnoxious Is Tints*,
may throw out tlioir low-opinion ep
ithets ofthe land and what it eon Inins;
men, whose inactivity has made poor
crops, may curse it; but let sensible
men sift tlio subject well, and Our
Slate will be found rolling and tumb
ling in a wealth that is as lastiag and
and iiicxlmustive as her own hfila

YVe have had lo bo content for some

iidvcnlof Miss I’omcroy, accompanied
with first-class support, will be her
alded with joy and pleasure, mid re
warded with a crowded house. The

beautiful and captivating one, and no

out with such n charming interpreta
tion and meaning as will cause vocif

Tho Harrisburg (Va.) Patriot, in
speaking of Miss Pomeroy and her
play, says:
Miss Pomeroy was heralded hero
as a great actress. Much curiosity
was felt to see her—and not only a
pleasant but a great surprise was’ in
store for every one. She more than
fulfilled tlio most sanguine expecta
tions ami placed her name high iu the
areli of dramatic celebrities.
The great beauty of Mins Pomeroy’s
acting is its naturalness, iu ensc, the
absence of effort and the artistic ex
cellence of her art. She lias evidently
given great care anil study to the
character of “Edith Revision.” tlio
heroine of The Adirondacks. It is
pure, amusing, wholesome, and is,
best of all. it lesson which none ran
fail to appreciate.
Louise Pomeroy captivated her au
dience from firs! in last. She is a
woman of grral magnetism and a
height future is in store for her.

see what they can do in the way of a
grand agricultural and stock display.
The different departments showing
the varied handiwork and home pro
