The City Going Dotm-In the hands
•f the Radicals thle Year-The People
Gloomy.
TAIal.AHASME, FloHIDA,
December 21, 1871.
Fdilors Atlanta Sun: Tallahassee, the
capital of Florida, is a pretty little city
of some two thousand inhabitants. It is
beautifully located on a rising eminence,
and if her citizens had the means, could
be made an tU., rat winter resort As it
is* however, the city offers but few at
tractions beyond its natural advar' 0 c„.
Owing chiefly to the misrule and corrup
tion of Radical officials, who have had
ooinplete control of the entire State for
nearly three years, real estaleat the capi
tal has declined in value nearly two linn
dred thousand dollars since 1868, and
there is a very perceptible diminution in
the trade and prosperity which it enjoyed
in former years. Heretofore the imme
diate city has been under tho control of
the property holders, who have managed
to secure the election of conservative
officers. These have done all in their
power to improve the city and advance
its interests, bat the general mismanage
ment of State affairs has offset their efforts
and things seem now to be retrogressing,
and worst of all, at the last municipal
election, which has but jmt taken place,
the conservatives were defeated, and the
oity is now in the bands of a set of Radi
cal swindlers, who will grind the property
holders into the earth with onerous taxa
tion, and furnish no corresponding bene
fits. The Radicals brought voters in from
all parts of the country to control the
election in their interests, and such
scenes rs were enacted on election day,
were never witnessed outside of Florida,
nor would they be tolerated any where
else. Hundreds of negroes, crazed with
drink, stood around the polls all day.
yelling and cursing and fighting like
maniacs. Their noisy demonstrations
and overbearing insolence several times
threatened a serious outbreak, and it was
only through tho prudence and discre
tion, or rather the forbearance and tol
eration of the whites, that a riot was pre
vented. It is a foot worthy of note thut
during all the fighfcingamong the negroes
thero was not a single white Radical to
be seen among them attempting to quell
disturbances—-whether from fear or in
difference, I am unable to say. The offi
cers who axe to control the capital of
Florida for twelve months to come con
sist of a white man (so-called), who'don’t
own five cents’ worth of property in the
State—a new comer and a mere adven
turer, with much more brass and impu
dence than brains, who has been county
Clerk for a year or so by appointment
from Florida’s sweet-scented Governor,
Reed, out of which office he has made
tkoasands of dollars—for Mayor; a mu
latto, who has just come out here and
taken charge of the swindling Frcedmen’s
Bank concern, for Clerk and Treasurer;
a full-blood negro, as black as the ace of
spades, who can barely read and write,
for Marshal and Tax-col lector; a white
Southerner, “to the manor born,” who
has turned his back upon his race for a
paltry little office, for which treachery he
will never again be recognized by any
decent person in the community, for Tux
Assessor; and five white nnd three col
ored men lor Aldermen—all but one of
whom are Radical adventurers, lm\ iug no
interest in tho city or State beyond
making all the money they can cut of the
impoverished people. Such are tlie offl
core whom an ignorant and worth.ess
constituency have placed over the re
spectable and intelligent property-holders
of the town. The old citizens deeply de
plore the unfortnnnte^sitnation of uffairs,
and look forward to the future with daik
forebodings. So gloomy and despondent
do they feel that two-thirds of them
would sell out to-morrow if they could,
and leave the State. Persons abroad
have no idea of the actual condition of
things down here. Under tho whole
sale robbery carried out by,thieving
Radical villains, the white people, who
pay niuety-nine-humlredtlis of the taxes,
are daily becoming poorer, and unless
exit ting evils are remedied, many of them
will soon be in utter destitution. D.

The Sumter Republican of Thursday
says: On Tuesday last, between the hours
of 1 and 2 o'clock, a negro man named
Richard Hill entered the sleeping apurt-
ment of Mr. J. H. Black, and inflicted
severe wounds on Jiis arm, while in bed.
Mr. Black, hearing some one walking
about the room, stretched forth his hand
to see if any one was in reach. As he
did so, ho received tho wounds. The ne
gro then made his escape. Mr. Black
;ot out of bed and followed him to the
loor, where he saw him distinctly, as he
moved off. The negro was arrested in
in the morning and taken before Justice
Wm. Coker, on a charge of assault with
intent to kill. The evidcuce being suffi
cient to convict, he was committed to
jail to await his trial.

_jking of the Griffin, Moutioello k
isou Railroad, the Angratn Chroni
cle and Sentinel eeye: Cgl. Boynton, the
able and energetic President of this new
enterprise was in oar city yesterday on
business connected with nis road. From
him-we learn that the work upon the
line is being pushed with much vigor.
Already ten miles next to Griffin have
been graded, and ore now ready for the
superstructure. Several hundred labor
ers are employed, and the friends of the
road look forward to much confidence to
its early completion, if Augusta and the
Georgia Railroad will loud them a help
ing hand. The idea of making this a
narrow gauge road has been abandoned—
it is being graded for the general gauge
now adopted by all the roads in the
Bute. The company have relieved them
selves from their entanglements with
Kimball, and henceforth will rely upon
the merits of their entei^rise sad the
liberality of our own citizeus for its sup
port The whole line has, we believe,
men surveyed and located, nnd lias been
found to be a very favorable our, except
„ a few miles near tne Ocmu.gee nver. It
The | is believed that the entire line from Grif-
l fin to y*u! on, can be built for less
money than auy road of equal length in
the State.

more than shattering the glass by twenty-

The same paper says: About two weeks
ago a little daughter of Mrs. John Floyd,

eleven years old, and was enraged in

The Columbus Sun, of Saturday, says:
T. W. Lane, Esq., died Saturday night,
at the residence, in Eufaula, of his ancle,
Dr. A. W. Barnett, from an overdose of
chloroform, which he had been using
several days to overcome rheumatic pains.
He was for a time, several years before

afterwards the news editor of the Savan

The Constitutionalist, of Sunday, has
the following: Yesterday, a man named
Henry lianoe presented an order to a
clerk at Messrs. Pope, Mack A Co. ’q for
$60 worth of clothing. The order pur
ported to be signed by Mr. John C. Pope,
of the firm, and the clerk taking it for
granted that all was right, delivered the
clotbiitg. After Ranoe had left the store,
however, it was discovered that the order
was a forgery. The fact was brought to
the knowledge of the police, who at once
instituted a search for the forger, and
after a short time found and arrested
him.

in that town on lost Friday, whioh re
sulted in one man being seriously wound
ed. The parties to the affray were Capt.
Charles Hamilton, of South Carolina, and
Mr. Joseph Hode, of McDuffie county.—
The affray originated, as most affrays do,
in some trivial matter, and resulted in
Capt. Hamilton’s shooting Mr. Hode, in
