INKTillEItTV sri'ERIOR COl'ItT
The third week of the October term
began on Monday last: The Criminal
Docket has occupied Hie Court this
week, and several cases have been
disposed of, none of them, liowcvcr,
of much public interest. Cattle steal
ing seems to have been the principal
ciime perpetrated recently iu this
oiuity. if wo may judge from the
records of the court. For this olfcnsc
Daniel Mitchell was sentenced to
eight years in the l’ciiitcutinry. Four
ears each for two thefts, Jack Mann
and San. McCray, for some cause
were “sent up” for four years each,
and Jim AValkcr received a sentence
of two years. All colored.
Fierce Gilreath, a darkey of good
character, was up on a charge ol lar-
cry and burglary from tlic house,
under the value of fifty dollars.—
’icrce, it scents, had been to a barbe
cue. ami partaken freely of the free
whisky distributed on the occasion.—
Under its benign inllucnrc lie felt
like a lord of creation, aud consider
ed himself monarch of all ho survey
ed. A'cry naturally he proceeded to
enter the house of another man under
the impression, doubtless, that it vvas
h's own, aud abstract Hierefrom the
ooils aud chattels which lie was
charged with stealing. AVlien Pierce
ante to his right mind ho realized
that “lie was under Hie delusion of
mistaken identity,”nnd very penitent
ly plead guilty before the Court.—
Ilis Honor, moved liv a numerously
tied petition front the white and
colored friends of Pierce, testifying
to his good character, and asking that
a light sentence be imposed upon him,
and taking further into consideration
the irresponsibility of a man tinder
the influence of free barbecue whis
ky, dismissed him witli some sound
advice and a fine of one dollar and
osls. Calvin Atieill, for hog steal
ing, was sentenced to four years in
the penitentiary.
THE IIEKERAL WORK OK TIIE COURT
has progressed slowly, owing lo the
sickness of some of the attorneys and
necessary absence of others, A few
of the eases on the docket have been
open rid of, none of them of inter
est to the public. There are very
few new eases returned to this term
of the Court. The Grand Jury arc
an exceptionally tine body, and well
represent the county. His Honor,
iimoug other things, charged them
to look into the wild laud matters of
the county mid report if any fraud
had been perpetrated in regard to
them. So far wc have learned of
no matter of importance brought
before them. A resume of their
work will probably appear iu om-
next issue.
“AS ISTERVIEW.”
Ailoilier Candidate for (iovrrnur—WIuil our
Visitor Said About, the llrldac.
Polities, Ci-iqM, Ete.
A prominent gentleman from “over
the river,” whose modesty loi-hids
the publication of his name, was iu
to sen us the other day, nnd liy ids
special permission wo drew out oiu-
reportorinl augur nnd proceeded to
interview him.
“How about the bridge question,”
we asked.
“AVell,” said lie, “I am not n citizen
of your county, nnd therefore have
no right to an opinion; hut I am go
ing to quit paying toll if I have lo
quit Allianv »» market. If AVcst
Dougherty votes the question down,
anil tlie people will subscribe $20,Out).
I'll take the contract to turn Flint
Ivor west of Alhany, through the
Pocosln. Then somebody rise’s hull
will lie gored.” And he spoke with
an earnestness which was amusing,
uud at once halted us on tlic liriilge
question.
Then wc turned our visitor’s at
tention to political atVairs by enquir
ing of him as lo the sentiment of his
ictioii.
“Tilden for President, Colquitt for
Governor, Tele Smith for Congress.
If Colquitt is not nominated for Gov
ernor, I shall stump the State myself,
from Nickajack to Tybcc Light as nu
independent candidate for that office.
It’s time the Piney AVoods had a
showing, and she’ll have to show her
lihiid or stay under weather; anil
I've got the best mule In Georgia—
one that will carry me through wind
and weather, and he has expressed a
willingness to make a circuit of the
State, with me, as an independent
■andiilate for Governor, on liis bark.
AVith such a mule and such n rider,
its Colquitt or an Independent for
Governor, and on Hint I’ll stake my
bottom dollar.”
So positive and outspoken was uni-
visitor's political views that we were
forced to (lodge this question, too.
fearing a disruption in parties. So
avc drew him over lo crops. Said lie:
“My cotton crop’s a failure, if the
weather don’t moderate; hut I don’t
care much about il. I've made a
bustin’ corn crop, aud acres of sweet
potatoes, ninny of which will weigh
live pounds cncli. Have got enough
fatten’ hogs to carry me through, nnd
peas till you can’t rest, while sugar
cane is bountiful enough to furnish
sweetnin' for tlic children on hand
and them n-comin’. And my w ile,
she's a-makin’ enough cotlon nnd
jeaus to chilhc my plantation. Now
don’t you think I'd make a model
Governor at $3,000 a year ?*’ Barring
his independent ideas, wc endorsed
him in toto.
Rising to liis feet and exacting of
us a promise to snatch candy with
him nt liis sugar hilin’, our elerer
isilor left the room, lie’s a brick,
aud one of the hest of all good men.
Eeorgla State Fair
The Stale Fair will open iu Macon
on Monday next. The Fair promises
to he a most interesting one, and we
hope will he largely attended.—
Among Hie ninny attractions of the
Fair week will be the ceremony of
unveiling thu handsome Confederate
monument in Macon, which will take
place on AVednesilay, 2Hth inst.—
There will be a military parailo on
tlic occasion ; in which a large mini
her of soldiery from various cities
will pnrtieipale. Thu Fair will doubt
less he an occasion of very great in
(crest In all who attend, aud wc hope
will prove a success.

Prospect of a Grand Exhibition anil a Good

THE NEWTON BOAT.
Messrs. Howell AVillinins and A. T.
Ilnwcs returned from New Orleans
on Sunday last, where they had been
to cxnmino into the “crookedness"’
surrounding the steamer Carl Scliurz,
the boat purchased (or the Flint Riv
er Transportation Company. Imme
diately upon tlicir arrival they re
paired to the commission house of
Lord & MePcek, tlic firm through
which they bought the boat, and af
ter interviewing, them, had a talk
with the former owners of the craft.
They unearthed Hie fact, previously
suspected: They have been cheated
by all parties doing the selling. The
boat was not the kind it had been
regresented to them; they thcrctorc
decided to re-sell it, pocket the titan-
cy anil come home, which they did
They sold it for$2,fi00—one hundred
dollars more than they gave previous
lo Che repairs on it, which have been
spoken of in these columns before.
The question now is, who pays for
Hie repairs? AVe hope not the Flint
River Transportation Company. If
(ho firm, Lord & McPeek, is a
sponsible one, they can be made
bear (his expense. They represented
that only $300 worth of work was
needed on the boat, and without any
order whatever, went ahead and had
a $2,000 ( ?) job of repairs done on it
Drive them to thu wall, gentlemen ol

A swindle of unusual perfectness,
says the Macon Telegraph and Mes
senger of Saturday, has lately been
perpetrated upon the holiest citizen-
of South Georgia by a gentlemanly
fraud, whose headquarters are nomi
nally Macon. Ilis plan is to take in
surance risks on small commissions,
aud leave his word of honor to for
ward Hie policies as soon ns they
could be received. Strange to say
this plan works well. lie told some
of liis victims lie had insured Cole
man & Co., AYuxclliaum & Co., and
other large firms, aud received sever
al sums of money in return for liis
personal receipts.
He has drawn in the most unau
thorized manner upon several gen
tlemen (>r Hie city from Tliomasvillc,
Quitman and Amerieus. He has also
drawn lor several amounts on II. J.
Ryan & Co., of this city. As there is
no sudi firm hero, ot' course these
drafts are dishonored, and Hie hanks
which handled Hie paper in the first
instance are the losers. A draft Fri

ed with a telegram warning the bus

Not a Liberal Catholic.
This item appeared in Hie Herald
a few days ago:
The favorite daughter of General
Sherman is engaged to be married to
a lieutenant in the navy. She is a
very liberal Catholic, and so good a
horsewoman is she that iu a jaunt of
thirty-two miles site lias been known
to come back fresh, while the half-
dozen young officers who escorted
her were entirely used up.”
In regard to this item wc have re
ceived a letter f'-om Mrs. Gen. Sher
man, which says:
•817 Fifteenth Street, AA’asiiino-
Tox-, D. C., October 12,1879.—To the
Editor of Hie Herald—My Dear Sir:
Please correct this statement, which,
although seemingly unimportant, is
really a slander. To be a “liberal
Catholic” is to be an object of pity or
sentempt, and my children arc all,up
to this day, ns true and loyal in their
faith as they are pure and exemplary
tlicir lives. A’ery respectfully
yours, Ellen E. Sherman.”

The business failure for Hie third

Barlow & Co*s circular, show a re
markable increase in business confi
dence and business success, For tlic
third quarter of 1878 the failures
numbered 2,852, witli liabilities
amounting to $UG,378,3G3. For Hie
quarter ended October 1, 1879, Ihc
failures numbered 1.2C2; liabilities,
$13,273,530. Tlie number ol failures
is thus less than one-half, the amount
of liabilities less than one-fourth what
they were a year ago. For the nine

with liabilities reaching $191,211,129.
For Hie corresponding term of Hie
year Hie failures were 5,220; liabili
