Attempted Assassination of the Sheriff
of Warien County
It is with deep pain that we again
feel called upon to record another
attempted assassination in the county
of Warren. We make the following
extract from a private letter, not in
tended for publication ; but we take
the liberty’ of inserting it, because we
know it to be true. The letter is
dated on the 15th, and reads as fol
lows :
“Last night, about 2 o'clock, as
Chap Norris, Sheriff of the county,
was coming homo, some one on the
inside of the fence, on the side of the
wood, shot him, inflictinga severe and,
some think, mortal wound. It is a
sad affair, as well as a Cowardly act,
to shoot a man at night unawares, and
none but an arrant coward did it.
Conjecture is in view as to the author
of it. Nor ids’cry of ‘murder! mur
der!’ following immediately after
the report of the pistol, rang out upon
the air with fearful distinctness.”
We had hoped that wc had chroni
cled the last of these Warren county
outrages. There arc many professed
Christians, and several ministers,
among the Democracy of Warren, and
we cherished fondly an anticipation
that the public mind would be edu
cated to cease this murderous political
proscription. It could not be so, how
ever; Chap. Norris is an office holder
and a Republican, and the edict goes
forth that he must die, and that by the
hand of a cowardly assassin. Now
we would like to inquire of venerable
Democrats how much stronger their
party is since this monstrous crime
was attempted ? Is not the party ami
the comity disgraced ? Is this any
thing but an invitation to Congress to
stamp out this lawlessness by a power
as unrelenting as the Ivu-Klux organi
zatiou itself.
We do not say that the respectable
Democrats of that county’ advise or
endorse murder and assassination ; but
tin© htiininc jwvtwvikO liatTCO WlilCtl they
nurse and encourage toward all Re
publicans is taken as a license by’ law
less desperadoes to commit all manner
of atrocitaes. Wc entreat the think
ing men of that party to ns« all per
sonal emh«>«rs In their power to
arrest and have brought to trial and
punishment,•before a Warren county
jury, of the villain who shot Norris.
We know several discreet and brave
men in the town of Warrenton who, if
such a thing is possible, can ferret out
the criminal. It behooves the county’
to defend its own good name by
making earnest exertions to bring to
justice all such characters as wounded
the highest officer of the county on
Monday’ night last. Moro in sorrow
than anger we npcak of these subjects.
A Just Comcakisox.— The New
York iSttn, in referring to Johnson’s
infamous repudiation suggestions,
makes the following applicable and
just comparison :
The hint conveyed in the last sentence, of
the paragraph quoted is also delicately sug
gestive: “It is not well to be over-tyixioijs
in exacting from the borrow'd - rigid compli
ance with the letter of the bond.” When
the late lamented Dr. Webster, of Boston,
was somewhat too impatiently dunned by his
creditor. Dr. Parkman, he ingenuously
knocked him down, and afterward burned up
his body in a furnace. The American peo
ple, President Johnson would remind us, are
likely, if hard pushed, to treat their creditors
in the same way, the more especially ;is they
could not, like Dr. Webster, be made to
swing for their conduct on the gallows. But
that they would, under any circumstances,
receive the same verdict at the hands of the
world as Dr. Webster received at the hands
of an unsymiaithizing Massachusetts jury,
wc Imvc no manner of doubt.

The Americus llcfnMbutn says that
a number of fanner* in that section
arediscuwmig the propriety of forming
a stock company for the erection of a
cotton factory. The idea is an excel
lent one, ami the investment will prove
most profitable to the stockholders.
It is a shame that we should be com
pelled to repurchase our own cotton
from foreign and Northern manufac
turers. By a little enterprise ami
combination of the surplus capital of
our farmers, factories could be erected,
ami our State would realize both the
profits of the cotton power and cotton
manufacturer, and thus save the enor
mous sum now gobbled by the middle
men.
The New York Tribune of the 14th
gives editorial prominence to this
statement: “We arc confidentially’
advised from Washington that the

be but one dissenter from the Court’s
judgment.” If this statement be cor
rect, the sooner it is verified the bet.

extent of the commercial revolution
which such a decision would produce.
We do hop® that the Tribune is
deceived, but the probabilities arc that
such a decision will be rendered.
An effort will be made to elect e.x.

Keen observers are no longer dis*
trustful of General Butler's sincere
support of General Grant’s adminis
tration. Ilis introduction of a bill re
pealing the tenuro-of-officc act is taken
as saying to Grant's friends, in a
bandsonic and practical manner, that
he is willing to trust the next Presi

Gen. J. A. Early writes a long
letter to the Savannah News from
Ontario, Canada, denying, in the most
positive manner, the statement of Mr.
E. A. Pollard and a correspondent
of the .Yew, signing himself “A Vir
ginian,” that Stonewall Jackson “once
recommended a night attack to be
made by assailants stripped naked and
armed with bowie knives.” General
Early served under General Jackson
from the beginning of the battle of
Malvern Hill to his death, and his
statements can doubtless bo relied on.
At least, we prefer to believe him to
giving credence to the assertions of
either E. A. Pollard or an anony
mous “Virginian.” Although regard
ing Stonewall Jackson engaged in a
wrong cause, we regret to see pre
tended friends attempting to give him
the reputation of a savage. As an
American, we are proud as any Con

A Narrow and Revengeful Pol
icy Opposed.—A committee of the

fraud, declare the State Constitution
ratified, and ask Congress to recognize

protests :
We trust that this action of the Committee
will not be sanctioned without a close sent
tiny. The proscriptive section* of the Con

likely to insure its defeat. We lielievc that
nothing is to be gained in the Southern States

be brought in by measures which would em

Wc take the follow ing article from
the editorial column of the New York
Times. It will be read with interest
by all class of citizens, and should
nerve them to renewed energy to make
this great State as rich and powerful
as her immense resources and incom
parable natural advantages demand
she should be. Listen not to politi
cians, uoi to unscrupulous editors, but
let every true man put his shoulder to
the wheel and “push” with all his might.
Contentment, wealth and happiness
will reward the effort. The Times
says:
The construction of this road by New York
capital is, we learn, bring pushed with much
vigor to a completion, the whole line having
been placed under contract to be finished by
Ist of (ictobcr, next. Tire distance from Ma
con to Brunswick is 187 miles, of which 60
miles of the road is built.
For tire purpop of making available the
harbor of Brunsw iek, the State of Georgia
endorses the first mortgage bonds of this road
for SIO,OOO a mik, as the completion of the
Macon and Brunswick railroad will place
Brunswick in railroad connection witii the
leading roads of the Southern States. Geor
gia has done well to foster an enterprise
which will secure to the State the immense
advantages of a seaport scarcely inferior to
that, of our own.
With the acknowledged advantages of the
barlxn - of Brunswick, as compared with that
of any other Southern city, the wonder is
that it should so long have remained isolated
from the interior of Georgia.
Situated at the central point of the great
inland curve of the Southern Atlantic coast,
Brunswick is nearer to the Mississippi river
than any other port on the seaboard. The
construction of the Macon and Brunswick
railroad will bring - Vicksburg within 600
iniles of railroad travel of Brunswick, while
the distance from Memphis to Brunswick
will be but little more than half the distance
between Memphis and New York.
'Die people of Georgia look forward with
much interest to the opening on the coast of
a harbor which they claim is equal to the
harbor of New York, in respect of depth of
water, ease of access and uniform healthiness.
We are pleased to record any evidence of
progress in the material interests of the South
and are gratified to perceive the restoration
of confidence by Northern capitalists in
Southern enterprises.
Judge Lynch at Work in Indiana.
Advices from Louisville to the 12th
instant give the following particulars
of the hanging of the Reno brothers
and Anderson, the Express robbers,
at New Albany, Indiana:
About 3 o’clock this morning Luther
Whitten, oue of the outs de guards of the
jail, was met at the entrance by a party of
men, who presented pistols to him, demand
ing his silence or death. Whitten shouted,
however, but was seized, knocked down,
and informed that if he shouted again he
should die. By this time the jail office w:ts
tilled with men searching for the keys.
Sheriff Fullenlove, understanding the situa
tion, came down from his sleeping apart
ment. and gained the door leadin'" - to the
grounds on the west side of the jail. Here
he met a force armed with pistols, which
were directed at him. lie exclaimed : Gen
tlemen, don’t shoot me; I am the Sheriff.”
But one of the band lired a shot, which took
effect in the Sheriff’s right arm, inflicting
a serious and painful wound. The keyes
were demanded, but he positively refused to
surrender them. About a dozen of the band
then entered Fullenlove’s room, where his
wife lay in bed, and demanded the jail keys
of her, but she refused to surrender them.
They succeeded in finding them, however,
concealed in a drawer. Thomas Mathews,
one of the inside guards, was then compelled
to open the cells of the men whom the mob
had determined to hang. Frank and Wm.
Reno were the first victims. They were
dragged out and bunged along side of each
other on the same pillar. Simon Reno was
then brought out, but he fought the mob
with great desperation, knocking one or two
of them down lieforc he was overpowered
and left suspended bet' - eon the ceiling and
the flo >r.
Charles Anderson, who was the last victim,
was heard to beg for the privilege of pray
ing; but this request was refused, and he
was hanged at the southwest comer of the
jail.
After a further threat to kill the Sheriff,
the mob proceeded to the train, carrying with
them the jail keys.
Armed men stood gwirvi to prevent any
from being given. At 4 o’clock the
train, with the entire party, consisting of
from seventy-live to one hundred men,
‘started off. They came well armed sum
equipped for the work. intended to
han" a in."" Clark, the murderer of
cDjofg'e Till, but they concluded not to do so,
fearing to remain any longer.
The band came from Seymour, Ind., in a
car by themselves, which was attached to the
regular train.
Charles Anderson and Frank Reno were
surrendered by the Canadian authorities upon
tlie solemn pledge of the United States Gov
ernment that they should have a fair trial,
and, if found innocent, be returned to
Canada.
A Lady Sued for Breach of
Promise op Marriage.—A London
paper says: An inquiry took place
on Wednesday before the Court of
Queen’s Bench in Dublin, and a jury,
to assess damages in an action brought
to recover compensation laid at £2,000
for breach of promise of marriage.
The plaintiff, Mr. Thomas Jackson
Marks, lived near Ardee, in the coun
ty of Louth, and in 1860 he entered
into an engagement to marry the fe
male defendant, Mrs. Rowland, then
Miss Smith, who also lived in the
county of Lo ith. After some time
the engagement was broken off, and
plaintiff then went to New Westmin
ster, in British Columbia. While
there a correspondence was opened
between him and Miss Smith, which
led to a renewal of the marriage en
gagement. The letters that passed
were of the most affectionate charac
ter, and prophesied the happiness the
parties would enjoy when the engage
meut was ratified. In August, 1867,
the plaintiff sold off his farm in Co
lumbia to come home to get married.
When he reached Canada, a letter
awaited him from Miss Smith, stating
that she could not really love him,
that the supposed afl'ectiou was a mis
take, and that the engagement, must
be broken off. She shortly afterwards
married Mr. Rowland, who wrote to
the plaintiff, stating that he had lofig
possessed the affections of the young
lady. The letters between the par
ties were read to the jury, ami the
injury to the plaintiff* by the lady’s
recession from her engagement •om
mented on. It was alleged that the
plaintiff di*|H>se<l of his farm, aud left
Columbia only because he expected to
marry the defendant. The jury found
a verdict for the plaintiff—damage*
two hundred pound*.

Th® rlit-incUnaiion of Coiigrow t<>
dispose of any cominittcc bnstinc's
until after the holiday recess has
caused a groat fluttering fundng the
thousands of strangers who have come
here to urge the passage of sjtecial
measures. Besides the vexatious de
lay, a large majority of people do not
have any too much money to waste in
hotel life—especially in Washington,
where, though the nominal price for
board and lodging.is only from $4.50
to $5 per day, and where “extras”—
that mysterious item in every man's
bill, whether he has anything extra or
not—runs up the sum total to an
almost fabulous amount.
A story is told of n noted Nev \ ork
politician —very penurious withal —
who made our city a flying visit.
Arriving in the morning, he concluded
as he was to leave the next day, not
to register his name at the hotel until
just before the dinner hour; and for
a similar purpose (economy) called for
his bill immediately after breakfast
the following morning, having had
two meals and a night’s lodging. To ;
his horror, he found his bill amounted |
tosl7. Expostulation was in vain—
he had had “extras”—a tire in his
room—and he was forced to “•plank”
the cash to prevent an unpleasant
denouement.
One can well imagine how a man’s
cash will dwindle away under the
manipulations of such insatiate cor
morants, and the awkward predica
ment of those who conic here on bus
ness, expecting only to remain “a few
days,” and find by the delays of Con
gress they arc compelled to remain a
few weeks, or leave without accom
plishing the object of their visit.
You will have observed that the
Southern members have taken a very
active part, thus far, in the present
session of Congress, and it would not
be surprising if some distinguished
legislative talent was developed; for I
hold that the mental status of the Rep
resentatives from the Southern States
is fully equal to any preceding delega
tion. This is the opinion expressed by
many and acquiesced in by all—even
by that Mephistocles of Democracy,
Hon. Fernando Wood; and when he
admits any good in a political oppo
nent, you may well believe there is
good reasons for the statement. It is
well that this state of things exist, for
the affairs of the Southern States con
tinue to attract the anxious attention
of all loyal men, they realizing the
necessity" of solving the Southern
problem at an early day. But for the
continued outrages committed in
these States, the dominant party in
Congress would, it is believed, be per
fectly willing to remove all disabilities
and "settle matters upon the basis of
universal amnesty and suffrage; but
the tone and temper of the late ruling
class in most of these States, to-day,
will not warrant such a course, and
hence, 1 fear, the day is far distant
when the ascerbities aroused by the
late war will be appeased by any- act
of magnanimity on the part of the
Government.
The feeling gaining ground daily
here by the force of circumstances is,
that before peace and good order can
be fully established in the States lately
in rebellion, the loyal clement must be
reinforced by immigration, What
Georgia needs to day is fifty thousand
immigrants of all classes. This would
throw into the State naturally, by the
laws of interest, at least, one hundred
millions in capital. But before this
can bo accomplished every resident
must be secure in the enjoyment of all
guaranteed him under the Constitu*
tion of the United States; and until
this is the case it will be futile to at
tempt to attract thither by cheap
lands, a kindly climate and soil, and
great facilities for business, any large
number of the teeming thousands who
migrate or immigrate each year.
The money paid for Alaska con
tinues to be a source of trouble. The
current report is, that only five million
of the $7,200,000 were actually paid
to the Russian agent —that the bal
ance went into the bands of Congress
men, lobbyists, and newspaper editors.
The affair has attracted sufficient at
tention to warrant an investigation by
Congress, and accordingly a committee
for that purpose was appointed yester
day. But I find no one who seriously
believes that any great disclosures
will be made.
Congress will, as before stated, take
a recess on the 21st until January sth,
or thereabouts, and all important busi
ness, including Georgia affairs, will
necessarily have to be laid over until
that body reassembles, before final'
action. Capital.
