Yesterday was a big day tn the
Senate at Washington. Jim Blaine
made his assault upon the South, and
was followed by Senator* Thurman
and Gordon. We know it was a rich
delate.
Bitter Republican papers of the
North are now attempting to deprive
tlie colored people of the South of the
right to vote. They will never suc
ceed. hut they will kirk up ftitw and
feathers and have a lively time over
it.
Miss Ijonise King, of Augusta,
President of the Society for the pre

Representative Felton, of Georgia,
introduced iu the House on Monday
a bill to compel national banks to re

equal terms with gold, and providing

One of the ablest speeches delivered
in the House of Representatives the
present sessiou was made by Hon. A.
C. Westbrook, of Donglierty, in oppo
sition to the Uirrard Bond Bill. Capt
Westbrook made a strong and elo
quent argument upon constitutional
grounds.
Grant will not come borne soon, as
it was reported. All the big enter
tainments that were being made up
for him iu Boston, Philadelphia aud
Chicago will collapse now. He goes
to Asia, and after'-bamming" around
there will perhaps seek other dimes
before returning to the country he
has disgraced.

According to a Waahingtorfletter,
South Carolina’s refugee carpet bug
Senator, Patterson, gives U as hi*
opinion that Hayes has locked the sta

llo*. jUssje W. W ai.ters.—This tal-
eoted young Representative from
Dougherty county, has taken a., very
prominent position in the Georgia
Legislature. Few membets of that
body are considered his superiors -In
point of intellect and general activify-
Tbe people of this county may con
gratulate themselves upon their choice
of Representatives. It maybe well
for us to state here that this notice* is
deserved, and is written without fed,
reward or the hope thereof, and with
out the knowledge or consent of Mr.
Walters.
Rev. Dr. Left witch, of Atlanta, Ga.,
was elected pastor of the First Pres
byterian Church, of Baltimore, Mon
day uight, to fill the vacancy caused
by (lie resignation of Dr. Backus, in
Uti, who since thatdale lias been the
pastor emeritus. Dr. Leftwitch will
therefore go from a small city to a
great one; from a poor congregation
to au immensely wealthy one; from
an humble church edifice to one of
the most magnificent in America;
from a plain parsonage to u grand
one. As hi* views on dancing are
well known, be will probably have
nothing to Mock hi- way, which
seems, after all. to lie a lucky one.—

On Monday last, in the House, Mr
Al-ton, of DeKalh, chairman of the
Committee on the Penitentiary, of
fered a report, long and most aston
ishing in its sickening details. The
report exposes fully all the horror*
of the present convict lease system.—
The report slates that from 40 to 50
per cent or 523 escaped convicts are
now at large throughout the State,
that the mortuary is trightful, ami
the Committee recommend that the
camp* of W. D. Grant, of Atlanta, Ire
abolished and bis contract cancelled,
and that the camp at C’hampney In
land be also broken up as soon as the
lea-c of Mr. Barnwell expires, and
that overal other camps be moved on
account of unhealthfulncss. - The re
port was received and three hundred
copies ordered to ba printed. •
The i)C><M),OnO.State Ronds
The Girrnrd Bill, for the issuing of
£i<10,000 in I per IS-lit. Stale Itunds.
which has been published mid dis
cussed iu these columns still hangs
tin': i. e., it lias not vet become »
law. A citizen of Ibis i-ounty. writ
ing to us under a late date, agrees
fully with lion. A. C. Westbrook i.»
Ids opposition to the Bill. Our friend
lakes the following position :
First, he thinks the funds derived
from the present rate of taxation will
lie sufficient to pay the debts of the
Stale, as they may become duo for
sevcu years so come. But, if ibis
were not so, live per cent bonds of
the State can be sold at par. at any
lime when needed.
Second, The issuing of the shinplns-
ter bonds will add four |ier cent to
the interest of that amount of State
debt.
Third, It would involve the State
in a large expense for preparation
and risk of loss, in the custody, issue
aud rc.'.eiiiprmn of these bond shin-
plasters. *
Fourth, It would subject every per
son who should circulate them as
money, to a penalty under United
States laW. They would not be legal
tender for the payment of debts. If
they conld be circulated as money
they would draw out of circulation
an equal amount of legal tender cur
rency.
Oor correspondent adds: -‘It looks
like tlie State was trying to “whip
the devil round the stump,” and
teach her citizens a new method of
violating law by indirection. Tlie
whole tiling is a needless folly uml a
wrong.”
That Investigation—700 Pages
Tho Atlanta Constitution forewarns
ns to look out for the publication of
seven hundred pages of matter from
■lie Committee appointed to investi
gate the indorsement of tlie North
eastern Railroad bonds.
This is certainly a monstrous pile
of evidence. Time, labor and money
have been expended in working it up.
but the effort docs not go for naught.
It is a clear and powerful vindication
of Georgia’s Chief Executive from tlie
- ilc aspersions of a miserable carpet
bagger, encouraged bv Die brain-
work and cunning of one more re
spectable.
In organizing this Committee, the
Legislature meant only to yield to a
demand of Governor Colquitt. We
have no idea that a single member of
dint body entertained the least suspi
cion of guilt on tlie part of tlie Gov
ernor, but acted with a purpose to
wipe away every wrong impression
that might have been made by the
unjust and caiumnous reports in cir
culation. An entire month lias been
(mounted in the investigation. Wit
nesses near and remote have been ex
amined and cross-examined, and not
one iota of evidence has been adduced
to support the charges preferred.
The people of the whole common
wealth have come forward with one
accord and expressed their confidence
in and esteem for a Chief Executive
whose spotless probity, Christian pie-
ty and manly attributes so greatly
distinguish Alfred H. Colquitt.
Gov.'Wade Hampton.
ne IS ELECTED TO THE C. S. SENATE—
HIS LEO AMPUTATED.
A press dispatch dated at Colum
bia, S. C., December 10th, says: “Gov
Hampton’s wounded leg was ampu
tated to-day .'six inches below the
knee. His physicians contemplated
this course some days since lint were
waiting until his condition would

ate friends of Governor Hampton say
that his condition now is not diing- r-
i-us. He stood the amputation finclv
tinder the influence of chloroform.—
His system is in a condition to prom
ise hopeful resnlLs. The Legislatin'!
to-day elected Hampton United Slate*

ately iu each House as required bj

About a week ago a gentlemen by
llie name ot John McGaughey.onc of
Decatur county’s best and most pop
ular citizens, was shot through the
window of his house, eight buckshot
entering his head.
An inquest was held over tlie body
ot deceased, and the Coroner issued
his warrant for tlie arrest of a negro,
William Cooper, the supposed mur
derer. It appcnrctl there had been
an altercation between the said par
ties a short time before tl-.c murder;
and other circumstances justified the
arrest. Citizens and friends of tlie
deceased; fearing the tcehuienliticsof
the law, determined to relieve tlie
courts; so forty men rode up, look
the prisoner from custody, and car
ried him away. Wc are opposed,
in a general way, to this
kind of justice: but then we freely
admit that it may sometimes become
necessary; and from our knowledge
of the people of Decatur, knowing
tlicin, as wc do. to be a law-abiding
people, wc would not censure them
in this ease. There was a most af
fecting circumstance connected with
this case, it appears from the evi
dence on the commitment trial, that
Mrs. McG. had just completed her
evening devotions at tho bedside, and
had approached her husband, who
was reading at a table before tlie fire,
to kiss him “good-niglit.
tended her arm to encircle his neck,
she complained that
her, and requested her
rub it. He at once loo
and was rubbing her extended arm,
when the assassin shot through the
window of tlie room, putting eight
Imckshot. as we have said, in tlie
head of her husband.
One of tlie shot grazed tlie forehead
of Mrs. McGaughey, inflicting a
wound at least one inch across the
forehead, hut not deep enough to he
-crious.
Mr. McGaughey and his wife had
not been married one year, and they
are separated, so far as tills world is
concerned, never to meet again. The
little one that will never see its father
in this world, may we not hope and
pray meet him with its mother
jn the world to come?
Who will or can blatne these forty
men for thus speedily bringing the
assassin to an account ? If wrong in
one sense, are they not right in an
other? They certainly were impress
ed with the idea that, waiving tech
nicalities, they have dealt out only
justice to the assassin.
Since writing the above, we see the
following in a Bainbridgo special to
the .Savannah Xews:
“William Cooper, the supposed
murderer of Mr. John McGaughey,
who was taken from our jail Tuesday
night by an armed tnoh, was brought
here this evening by a colored man.
The mob carried Cooper sixteen miles
from here, and having chained and
tied him to a tree, liretl several shots
at him, and left him for dead. Coop
er managed to free himself, and
walked » mile to a negro cabin. Or.
Morgan examined his wounds and
found that five shots had taken effect

not considered mortally wounded.—

Editors Albany Xcws :
The scarcity of uiiything interest
ing to pencil will have to answer for
my long silence, and, really, out of
which I am now going to try to man
ufacture a letter, smacks of presump
tion—still, I ‘‘presume, and therefore
“firstly” I will tackle our
business MEN.
Mr.C. M. Chapman, formerly of
Houston county, lias located amongst
its. and occupies Hie storehouse own
ed liv Mr. O. Hays, and I am glad to
see that lie is receiving ids equal share
of patronage. From our very short
acquaintance, we have been very fa
vorably impressed with him, and he
ha* conducted himself in such a way
Dial lie lias won Hie esteem of all our
citizens. We are always ready and
more Ilian willing to welcome such
men in our midst.
Capt. J. II. Allen, Mewl. Wells &
Avcrn, .Smith & lira., Deidrich St
Bro. ami J. W. Evans are all live aud
energetic merchants, Hilda re supply
ing our people with all kinds of mer
chandise nl verv reasonable prices,
while Ml •ssi’s. C. Ansley and J. S. :
Tillman are doing, in
about how very much ive enjoyed it.i
for Imw could we do otherwise when
the originators did everything it-
their power toninkopur visit a pleas
ant one, and we feel compelled to re
turn onr thanks to them ; also to Mr.
Alex. Forrester and Hie sprightly
“Mustang” for nmnv favors received
lit their hands ; also In the jovial and
kind-hearted l)r. love and liis cstini-
nhlFiadyTbl- their kind hospltalltie
while-we wore their guests. Hitch
kindnesses will forever lie remember
ed, and we take pleasure in saying
Hint the Lindsay House, over which
they preside, justly hears au enviable
reputation, and lie who is so fortu
nate ns tn tall into their hands, have
llic assurance of good nml kind treat
ment. In goingdown, we, of course,
had a little storm, which wc fear was
most too much for one of our party,
as he says the clouds are still threat
ening him. I suppose, though, that
everything will come out nil right, as
he seems to think he can so manage
them.
One of our’yoiing men has recently
been learning'tlie pleasant game of
croquet. Wo opine that lie will soon
become an adept, from the very early
hour he takes his lessons. At any
rate, it shows very conclusively that
lie is an energetic scholar, and If he
does not succeed, then we arc willing
to confess that there is no virtue in a
fair tutoress.
LITTLE FOLKS JUBILEE.
It was our good fortune fto he in
vited to a Little Folks party, on Fri
day night last, given at the close of
Prof. Kennerly’s school. Never in
our recollection have we seen tho lit
tle ones enjoy themselves so much ;
and if thuy ti re only Half so zealous in
lenrning how to “shoot" as they nro
after pleasure, we can very readily
anticipate for them a very bright fu
ture. Wc are gratified to state that
Prof. K. has accepted Hie charge of
tlie school for the coming year. Prof.
K. lias been amongst us scarcely a
year, but. he lias in that very short
time won the admiration of all of out
citizens, and endeared himself to pat
rons and pupils. Our

again uecusc me of “pilfering his thun
