on the nose question. He demanded if

his Honor shared the same opinion,
when Gus retired to make room for

the occasion referred to, was a boot in
rear as he passed oat tne door. That
boot has haunted him ever since. He
implored his Honor to be merciful; and
then appealed to Johnson, who was
watching him compassionately. With
teen in his eyes, Johnson waved him oil)
exclaiming hysterically, “Not unto me
be thy appeals, not unto me; but unto
him who sitteth in judgment." His
Horior arose and spoke of the follies of

Recently, on the McDonough Boed,
something over a mite from town, a
bloody affray occurred, ia whioh the re
sult was almost murder. It aeema that
that noNoe, like aaaiy others, is caned
by vagrant oowa. One of those “ unfor
tunates”' had been long looking
at a field of clover, and, like
many of the human species, de
termined to revel therein. The next
morning the owner of the field ewoks
end waxed wreSty when he beheld the
iatreriea. Be wee to the eat ef driving

the owner of the oow—came up and or
dered bim to leave the eow alone. This

oontinned to drive her Majesty out Ope
of the attaaking party went and procured
a gun and shot it the oow-driver, bat

on to him end «maatq^ the gup-stock

bly braised condition, epd though he
may recove* yet he Will always carry the

These outrages toong the McDonough
road have become so frequent, end their
nooks ao horrible, that we think some
thorough investigation should be made.
No doubt many of the reports which
raaeh us ere considerably exaggerated,
nevertheless enough remains to justify
the conclusion that lawlessness is rife,
end that it is so rife that the strong arm

order, Doriag the past winter and sprieg
we have heard of over thirty axtpt-
ordidaiy oriuies being committed within
ten miles from town along this road. It
is not to be iia|p*tnnd, however, that
these outrage*, have been committed by
the residents-slung the read. These peo
ple are as law-abiding and peaceable aa
any in the State. The crimes are really
committed by Atlanta rowdies and despe
radoes, who secrete themselves along tha
road for the purpose of fleecing the farm-
ereon their way home after disposing of
tbeir crops. Others, again, secrete them
selves ftem justice, and are ready for any

Some time ego, it may be reoolleeted,
we gave an aooount of a murderous as
sault alleged to have been oommitted up
on one M. W. Clark, by Tom Kennedy
and Coly Beavers, two notorious desper
adoes of this oity. Clark represented the
thing in such a manner that the wonder
was he escaped at all Coly Beavers sub
sequently surrendered himsalf to the ear
tborities; and yesterday morning the ease
came np before his Honor, Jnrtiee Lyoea,
for adjudication.
From the teetimonyit appears thatClark,
Kennedy and Beavers, were at eoross
roads grocery yesterday, about one mile
from the city, at the fork, on the McDon
ough road, kept by Mr. Johnson. They
were drinking freely; sod when dork got
ready to go home ho said be wanted to
hire some hands, and would be glad if
they would go with him. Kennedy con
sented, and got into the wagon, while
Beavers remained behind. To this Mrs.
Johnson testified, and, of course, it ac
quitted Beavers. When Mr. Hardin met
Clark further np the road, he woe badly
osed.np; but Kennedy waa not to be seen.
Clark was obfuscated to snob an extent
that be could no more than take care of
himself.
Beaver was accordingly discharged;
but the indictmeut stands against Ken
nedy, who still keeps soeree. It is to be
hoped that he will soon be in limbo, and
punished for his lawlessness.^

This Mr. Irene took as e personal ref
erance to himealf, end it is understood
that one or more notes psased between
him end Messrs. Kuhn A Smith, he de
manding a withdrawal of the advertise
ment, which he regarded ss offenrive.
Matters advanced no farther than this
until yesterday evening, when Mr. Irene
and Mr. Smith, the junior member of
the firm of Kuhn A Smith, met in the
billiard-roam of the H. I. Kimball House.
Nothing had been heard of the metier in
some days, end it was hoped that it had
been *11 smoothed over, if not amicably
sdjnsted. But, unfortunately, such
not the esse. When they met yesterday
evening some words were passed between
them, and from words they soon came to
blows. No weapons were used—the per-
tire going to business with the good old
fashioned weapons provided by nature,
and both need them lustily, and might
have made ead pictures of each other hod
they not been separated by the bystsnd
ere. Both bore some of the marks of the
bottle upon tbeir countenances, but went
off quiet and manifesting no disposition
to renew hostilities.!
Leaving aside the propriety of the
mnnner of settlement, everything con be
said in favor of the courage of both com
batants. Though neither of them can
be considered physirelly, a Heensn or a
Mace, neither was lacking in pluck.
It is a matter of regret thst gentlemen
will select so public a place ss the H. L
Kimball House for private adjustments of
their character. If men are aggrieved
■with each other, and nothing will ap
pease tbeir rage hot e resort to muscle,
let them retire to a more private place,
where they will not annoy any one, and
fight until all hands ore satisfied. There
are always people in a popular hotel, to
-whom three brawls are offensive. The
hotels are the temporary houses of these
people. They have nowhere else to go,
and it Is wrong thst they should he so
annoyed by men who do so thoughtless
ly. There have been several similar oc
currences at the Kimball House dining
the post week, and it is now hoped, for
the sake of ell parties, that the fights
are closed, and that there will be no
more of such disturbances.

' Something new end entirely out of the

terday, One of the foremen, Mr. Smith,
for some reason or other, discharged a ne
gro yesterday. Hia oitixenship returned
to hi* old place, ead refused to oonsidar

Mr. Smith colled in the assistance of a po-
lioeman to eject the intruder. The po-' Cam a Policeman Arreat Pearrablc Cltl-
i soon found out that he had got
ten hold of % rough case. They squab
bled lor some time, when the pohoemon,
impatient of further delay, elosed one of

but still the enraged African would not be

At this janotare about twenty-five or
thirty negroes, working in the mill, in

Work of “de white trash.” A general
riot seemed imminent. The negro woe
put out, whereupon hi* black brother*
became so indignant that the policemen
thought it expedient to report et the oal-
aboose for help. A detail was seat out;
and about 5 o’clock yesterday evening n
regular battallion of prisoners was
marched down Marietta street and out
to the oellabooee, where, we have no
doubt, our friend Johnson will aee that
they will he well looked after. We have
heard that they will be examined by Hie
Honor, the Mayor, this morning.
It is fortunate that the whites were so
prudent, else e terrible end bloody trag

8ome time sinoe, it we understand the

arrested him. In consideration of $15,
Mr. Harris was allowed to go at large un

the case, and discharged the prisoner.
Mr. Harris then entered suit in Justice

The case waa ably argued by both sides.
His Honor withheld his derision until

We hope that Judge Lawrence will read

Brer since the umniripel election there
has not been s ruffle to disturb the se

thrown by their armor, and were reuelty
reposing in the pesos of solitude. Some
of them, no doubt were laying plans for
future campaigns; but their action attract
ed no attention.
Some time ago, Thomas Spencer, Esq,
tendered to bis Excellency, his rerigni-
tion of the office of Justice of the
Peooe, for the 1026th District O. M. It
wzs rumored that there would be ao
election to fill the vacancy, bnt that No
tary Pnblio Lynes would examine the

of quieting down whatever simmering
there might have been. But judge of

Notice ie hereby given the! so election will be
held oe Setnrdey. tte lfch dey of July. 1871. at the
ogee ot tte Notary rubric end ex-etlclo Justice at
the Feeee, of the lOKtb Dletrtct, 0. B.. lor tte elec.
Mob of e Juetlee at tka Peere, to 1U the recency
enured by the rerig uriion ot Hon. Ttotai Spcurcr
June 17,1ST1.
Of oouae, there must be nominations,
and there ere not e (ew of our citizens
willing to immolate themselves in the
public service. Already e number ot
them ere feeling their way, end would
make rerj good offioers—in their own es
timation.
This office is one which should be filled
by e competent men, and not by an office
seeker. He should be honest, impartial
end (earless in the discharge of his duty.
He should be * man against whom no
suspicion exists. They that enforce the
lew should themselves obey it.
The officer ought to be s lawyer, else
how can he decide questions in which law
is involved. To elect soy other person
to the offioe, woald be simply placing
him out of his element, tike a fish out oi
water. A lawyer is most likely to under
stand what he is doing, for it haa been
bin study. He eannot be ao easily cajol
ed by the specious arguments of counsel.
Besides, it wonld be s public advantage
to here an officer who knows what he is
doing and how to do il
But all these things will be settled by
the election, and after it is over the de
feated aspirants will ell think if so-and-so
hadn't happened, each of them would
here been elected. Be that as it may,
The Si x is prepared to publish all their
announcements, and hopes the best man
will win.
Another George Valentine*
It so happens that there is a very wor
thy and well-disposed white man by the
same of George Valentine, who is a me
chsnic in Withers' Foundry. He has had
no difficulty with any one and no one lus
challenged him to fight a duel. The
trouble which has been notioed in onr
local columns was between two oolored
barbers, oue of whom is named George
Valentine. Mr. V. at Withers' Foundry
is not thst man.
