JOTTINGB FROM TALBOT.
Talbot is the first county above the flat
pine lands of Son them Georgia, as yon
emerge from the “tertiary” into the
“granite formation.” Here no sickening
whines of “whispering pines”—no monot
onous view of pines, black-jacks and haw-
bushes, and haw-bushes, black jack and
pines tire the weary vision; but we have the
stately oak, proud monarch of tbe forest,
who rears his lofty head to heaven, as if
in defiance of its lightnings, and stands
unscathed by a thousand stoims. Here
grow, in endless variety, almost every
tree of the forest, every product of tbs
field, every vegetable and flower of the
garden, and every fruit of the orchard.
Query—Did anybody ever know a great
mind to develop in the “piney woods"?
Do you remember, Mr. Editor, any his
toric character born and reared iu flats
and swamps, a stranger to the diversified
scenes of mountains and hills and dales?
There is something grand and inspiring
in mountain soenery, and something in
vigorating and elevating in mountain at
mosphere, never felt or known by the sala
mander hunters and gopher-grabbers of
“piney-woods.” I havo an incident in point:
Just after the war, a gentleman from
upper Georgia was returning from the
low country, where his family had beeu
ensconced in tho pine-laud for four year*.
As they reached a noted elevation on tho
loud from Genova to Talbotton, known
an tho “ltideliff Hill,” and caught
glimpse of the Pine aud Oak Mountains,
together with the beautiful and piotuesque
hills and valleys of Talbot and Harris
spread out before them, in one vast pano
rama, inspired by the same feelings that
eukindled the pootic souls of Xenophon’s
“Ten Thousand Greeks,” on oatching a
sight of the grand old sea thAt washed
their “Dear Native Greece,” wife and
children, iu oue involuntary accord,
shouted “Mountains! Mountains!!
Mouutaius! ! ! ” and jumped and capored
in such wild, frautio joy, that they could
scarcely be bold in the coach.
Query, No. 2.—Mr. Editor, did you
ever know a puny, sickly, “chilly," dirt-
eating shaver from tho piney-woods have
life and enthusiasm sufficient “to skin the
cat?”
Geneva is a place of considerable trade,
tho depot of Talbot and a goodly portion
of Marion, and is porhaps the third sta-
tion in importance from Macon to Colum
bus, S. \V. It. R. The road from Geneva
to Talbotton, usually one of the best in
tbe State.—really a natural turnpike.—is
now almost impassable, made so by un
precedented rains, and the immense trav
el of market wagons.
There is some talk of a turnpike,
pluuk-roud from Geueva to Talbotton.
This would bo a paying enterprise,
would prove infinitely better than a c jstly,
uuprofitabe brauch-railroad. It would
secure telegraphic facilities for Talbotton
and mako Talbotton n cotton market
thoreby increasing the trade a hundred
fold, aud makiug it the most desirable
summer lesort in Georgia.
The Superior Court for Talbot county
is now in boss ion at Talbotton. Judge
Johnson, the able, impartial and accom
plished presiding officer, owing to *iok-
nous, did not reach his seat until Tues
day. Hero are congregated a large num
ber of tho Bench and Bar of this judi
cial circuit, os well as of other portions
of tho State. Columbus is fully repre
seated iu Gen. Beuning, Col. Blandford,
llou. J. F. Poa and others. Maoon fur-
nisihes hor popular Judge, Hon. B. Hill,
with his talented sou, Walter B. Hiil,
Law Proffessor in Macon University, and
undoubtedly the most promising young
lawyer in the State. I see also other able
lawyers-Col. J. M. Mobley of Hamilton,
etc.
Tho weathor is beautiful, there is
large attendance from the country and
everything pats on an air of business and
thrift. Much business is before tbe court
and will probably protract the sessian two
weeks. Sevoral cases of considerable im
portance aro ou tho docket. Only oue has
been decided yet—a case of great inter
est, involving the title of the large estate
and beautiful homestead of Mrs. Kim
trough. To the great delight of almost
everybody, a verdict in her favor was
rendered yesterday. We do hope litiga
tion will now cease, in that case at least.
By the way, Mr. Editor, what do you
think of lawyers aud other parties iu our
county who protract unjust lawsuits to
mako mon^y themselves, or to annoy
others? “Proh Rudor!” “Oshame, whero
is thy blush J mean no reflection upon

DEBATE OVER PINCBRACK—KERRY PRO
NOUNCES THE K FI. LOCK I GOVERNMENT
RASED ON FALSEHOOD AND FOR
GERY—WEST, MORTON AND
OHRISTIANCY HAVE A SAY.
Washington, March 15.—In tho Sonata
a resolution was passed to print 2,000
copiss of the report of tbe Commission of
Engineers upon the reclamation of tho
alluvial basin of the Mississippi river.
To-day the resolution for the admission
of Pinchbnck being before tho Seuate,
Ferry, of Connecticut, said the Sonator
from Indiana (Morton) a few days ago
argued that wben the President was called
upon to suppress domestio violenee un
der the aotof 1725, his compliance with
the call involved the determination of tbe
lawfulness of the authority making tbe
oall, aud that the Senate was conclusively
bound by the action of the President.
He (Ferry) did not concur in that argn
meat. The proposition was repugnant to
the Constitution in its plainest tarms, and
destructive of the iudopendeuoe of both
houses of Congress.
The Senate derived its power from tho
Constitution. It required no legislation,
no act of Congress, to dofino the rnodo
by which the Seuate should exeroiso its
power.
Tho Pieaident derived his authority
from the act of 1735, but tbe Senate had
the power to enquire into the election of
any of its members before tho act of
1735 was passe J.
If the effect of that act wag to coufor
upon the President power to determine
conclusively upon the legitimacy of tho
Legislature, tho election of a Senator, or
the executive of tho State, Rigning bis
credential* so as to control tbe Scuute
when making inquiry as to the election
of a member, thou the act was void.
He (Ferry) did not, however, give to
act of 171)5 any such construction as that
placed upon it by tbe Senator from Indi
ana (Morton).
Mr. Ferry then argued that the Senate
in judging of the eloction of its members
was not bound by any decision of tbe
President, which might bo made incident
ally by him solely for tho purpose of pre
serving tbe peace. All tho President was
doing iu Louisiana was to keep tho par
ties from flyiug ut one another's throats,
aud in the meantime tho strauge asser
tion was got up here by tho Senator from
Indiana, that the Son Ate and Houso of
Representatives were bound by this inci
dental decision.
If this proposition was £true, then,
even if the Senate should fiud that the
person signing the credentials of the ap
plicant was not the lawful Governor of
Louisiana, and the Legislature whioh
elected him was not tho legal Legislature,
yet tho Senate must accept them both,
solely because the President so decided.
He (Ferry) knew it was proposed to
argue, before this debate was finished,
that tho Senate Committee whioh investi
gated Louisiana matters iu 1873 was false
iu point of fucts.
It was too late now to set aside that
report, which was basod upon six or
seven hundred pages of testimony open
to all. A careful examination of that
testimony wonkl show that it was
against tho legality of the Kellogg
government—even worse thau tho re
port of the couimittoe. That report was
against the personal and political wishes
of the very gentleman who signed
it.
The Senate knew from tho groat volume
of testimony before it thAt the Legislature
in Louisiana in 1873, which elected Mr.
Pinchbace, was not the legal Legislature
of the State. The Souate ulbo knew that
Wm. P. Kellogg, whose name was signed
to the certificate of election, was not the
legal Governor of the Stato,
The Senate in admitting Pinchbnck
would admit tho personification of false
hood and forgery. Such claims as these,
put forth by tbe Senator from Iudiuna,
only indicated tho desperate character of
tho case. He (Ferry) was not surprised
that, At the last moment, tho Seuate
should have a new version of the Louisi
ana trouble. When all tho six hundred
pages of testimony before tho Senate
showed that Kellogg’s authority was all a
sham, that the Legislature which elected
Pinohback was not the legal Legislature
of the Stute, the friends of tho applicant
needed to chauge their base.
Tbe proposition of tho Senator from
Indiana (Morton) was that the Senate was
bound to find a falsehood the truth.
Morton said the Seuate did not know
that Kellogg was not Governor, and that
tho Legislature which elected Pinchbeck
was not the Legisluturo of Louisiana, as
had been stated by tbe Senator from Con
necticut ; that tbe Sonator did know it
himself and a careful analizatiou of the
testimony, he (Morton) thought would
contradict tho statement of the Senator
from Connecticut. Ho then quoted from
tho dooision iu the case of Luther against
Biug, and argued that tbe Supreme Court
of tbe Unitod States must rocoguizo tbe
Governor recognized by the President,
and that the power to reverse tbe recog
nition of the President was only to be
fouud in tho joint action of two house* of
Congreas.
West, of Louisiana, said, tho Senator
from Connecticut (Ferry) had claimed
that the Republican Government of Lou
isiana bad no basis but falshood and
forgery. This charge bad been made
here for months, aud be (West) thought
it time that it should bo met. The fraud
and forgery in Louisiana originated with
the opposition party, and was carried out
by them, aud not by the Republican
party. He argued that the Republican!
were in the majority iu Louisiana in 18" '
that the claim of Pinchbeck, now before
the Senate was just; that he was legally
elected Senator, and outside of all party
considerations, should be admitted to bis
seat. Then the vexed question, in regard
to Louisiana, would be settled, and peace
in the State would prevail again.
Tho Democrats had claimed that the
oolored registration in Louisiana was
greater than the oolored voting popula
tion, and that tho white registration was
ten thousand below the white voting pop
ulation. According to tbe oensus of 1870,
this was easily aooounted for. In some of
tho States noar Louisiana, where the
Democrats had obtained control, tho col
ored ineu left aud emigrated to Louisiana
since tho last census was taken. When the
Democratio Senators argued that the
white registration was below tho number
of white males over 21 years of age, they
seemed to have forgotten that there were
15,000 unnaturalized foreigners iu the
State, rot entitled to vote.
lie d d not moan to say that all the
frauds iu Louisiana originated with the
Democratio party. They were originated
aud were perpetrated by a few adventur
ers, through whom the Democratio masses
iu the State had been led to believe they
are outraged.
West then quoted at some length from
testimony before tho Senate Committee,
to show that Kellogg was legally elected,
aud also from the report made that tba
House of Representatives by Messrs. G.
F. Hour, Wheeler A Frye, in which they
expressed the opinion that Kellogg re-
ceived a majority of tho voto in 1872.
Referring to this report, he said those
geutlemen had investigated tho mattor.
Dawes, of Massachusetts, said ho bad a
private conversation with those gentle-
men, and he belioved it was their opinion
that Kellogg had received a majority of
the votes, hut they had not investigated
the subject.
West, resuming his argumont, said his
State had been outraged in keeping out
ouo of their Senators.
Christiancy, of Michigan, inquired if it
was expected that all the damage which
had been inflicted upon Louisiana would
be repaired by tho admission of Pinch-
back.
West replied that it would hardly be
possible, that it was a lamentable fact
that the bill for the relief of the persons
iu tho overflowed districts of the Missis
sippi failed on account of Louisiana not
having her two Senators. If the other
Senator from that State had been in his
seat the bill would hAve been passed
Refuse to admit Piuchback now, aud tbe
verdict would go out to the country once
more that Ike Kellogg government was a
fraud. Crimo and violence would have
way in the StAlo again. White
,eagueH would rnuatcr, and there would
no peace.

STREET FIGHT IN RICHMOND—AN I TUTOR
GOBS FOR A RADICAL OAUPET-DAGOVR.
Richmond, March 1ft.—A personal re-
contre took placo this morning between
Mr. James A. Cowardin, editor of the
Dispatch, and Mr. A. Fulkerson, member
of the House of Delegate* from Washing
ton oouuty. It appears that Mr. Cowardin,
who, in oompany with two goutlemon,
was walking along Main street, near the
post-office, was accosted by : “Mr. Cowar-
diu, I believe;” when Mr. 0. immediately
answered, “Yea sir, and you are the
scoundrel Fulkerson. I kuow you.”
At this remark Mr. Fulkorsou either
struck at, or drew back to strike Mr. C.
with a cone, when the latter closed with
Fulkerson, and seized him by tho throat.
A short scufflo ensued, when frieuds in
terfered and separated them.
The diffioulty originated in remarka
made by Mr. Fulkerson in tbo llouso of
Delegates some time ainco in regard to
the editorial columns of the Dispatch, to
which Mr. Cowardin made some severe
personal rejoinders.
Muoh contempt is expressed at Mr.
Fulkerson’s oonduot, as he is a youug and
robust man, and Mr. Cowardin is over
sixty years of age, and was entirely uu-
propared, either with esne or weapon, for
the assault.
