The Choral*.
Tlie concert complimentary to the
honorary members was not given last
night, because of the want of an audi
ence. Tlie honorary members seemed
disinclined to wade through tlie slush
to hear harmonious sounds, no matter
how finely rendered. We loafed down
about nine o’clock. Tlie opera house
was dimly lighted ami appeared very
gloomy. Tt was really a wierd scene.
The singers, of whom some twenty
were present, seemed to partake of the
dreariness in and outside tlie hall, and
were singing some slow dirge like
funeral air, that recalled such things
as ghosts and graveyards. About five
constituted tlie audience, who seemed
to be waiting for tlie charming singers
to wend their way homeward. Just as
Sheriff Burma was making us cheerful
some gentlemen moved to go into ex
ecutive session, and the motion was
carried. As we had ventered into for
bidden territory to bear melody and not
“chin music,” this writer vamoosed.
The ladies also abandoned the “ex
ecutives.”
Tlie concert, we bear, will be givon
before the 10th. It will be a delightful
musical festival. Will our gifted “Cho
rals” allow us to make a suggestion?
If they wont, we’ll make it anyhow.
At the concert give us something lively.
The rattling, dashing, sparkling melo
dies of Offenbach would take. The
public want something airy, fantastic,
full of jollity. Don’t givo us the slow
and drear. Wo can hear that in the
churches. Lot us have the merry
chimes of L’ Allegro, not the weary sad
ness of II Ponsoroso. Please first, then
lie educated to the classical
dodges. Make tlie festival gay, spright
ly with the tripping notes of gladness-
something that stir tlie blood with its
ringing, joyous harmony. It will pay.
The “Choral Union” shows marked
advance in culture and practice. It is
an institution of which Columbus
should 1)0 proud, and is capable of af
fording unlimited enjoyment.
Ilnrrln 1'rliuar.r Nomination.
Harris held a primary election on
Saturday to nominate candidates for
the Legislature. The result was tlie
election of Messrs. W. I. Hudson and
rosso (’ox. The vote was to have been
onsolidated yesterday at Hamilton.
We hear that some of the candidates
objected to the consolidation, because
they allege the resolution of the con
vention ordering the election provided
that only Democrats should vote, and
that at Hamilton about 150 colored men
voted; 00 at Valley Plains and 85 at
Whitesvillo. Wo do not know how tlie
matter terminated, but presume the
gentlemen named, having received the
largest number of votes, were declared
the nominees. It would have been
much 1 letter to have waited and had a
free race.

It will be scon by advertisement in

show, and it would fully repay anyone
to see them.
Their matlnoo for Thursday afternoon

poet yesterday, although it was a dis
agreeable day. The Jordan and Wylly

I, 108, counting 20 received by river for
the Eagle and Phenix. Tlie receipts
amongst the warehouses were not very
evenly divided, the highest receipts of
any ono being 418, and the lowest 11.
The stm*k is now very heavy and tho
receipts light.

ing: Be it ordained by tho City Coun
cil that the ordinance passed at tho last
mooting, requiring the payment of a
commutation street tax at the time of
registration, be and is hereby repoaled.
During tho reading of the minutes
Alderman Scheussler gave notice that
he would move, at tho proper time, to
strike out that portion of the minutes
in relation to the ordinance on the com
mutation tax, and immediately subse
quent to the offering of the above par

and that Alderman S’s motion had no
force.

or :
Dawson, Oa., October 10, 1877.
Honorable Mayor, Columbus, Ga.:
Dear Sir—I learn through responsible
parties that the Brunswick and Albany
railroad will,in short time, bo extended
west from Albany,j and that tho Com
pany is not fully satisfied with the sur
vey from Albany to Eufaula, and that
a road from Albany to Columbus via
Dawson would bo a bettor route.
By uctiug in concert, we might prob
ably got tho change which I think
would 1)0 great advantage to both
places. I therefore take tho liberty of
writing you, concerning tho matter
should you feel an interest and think
anything can bo done in your city, we
of Dawson would gladly co-operate
with you. Very respectfully.

STEWART COUNTY,
Report of the Grand Jury—Views on
the Late Tragedy.
We condense. Jail in good order.
Roads and bridges in good order, ex
cept the bridge over Turner’s creek,
which is being repaired. Since October
23, 1870, orders have been drawn to tlie
amount of $4,527 06, from which deduct
commissions of officers, $871 08, and a
balance of $3,050 08. License, taxes* and
sale of estrays foot up $219. The tax
levied for tlie present year, if collected
closely, will realize $7,772 00—enough
to pay off all indebtedness, current ex
penses, and leave several hundred dol
lars in the Treasury. Tlie treasurer has
received $7,188 54 and paid out same.
Tax collected for 1870 was $7,071 02.
The poll tax for 1875 was $1,497 97, State
school fund 1876, $1,019, thus, with
$120 20 on hand, giving $3,237 22 for
school purposes for the scholastic year.
Amount paid teachers and commission

per day, bailiff $1 50 and riding bailiff
$2, and Sheriff* Hightower a like amount
for extra services.
Before closing our Presentments we
doom it our duty to say, that wo most
sincerely deplore the fact that a large
number of our fellow-citizens, who
were impelled thereto by feelings and
impulses almost beyond the power of
human nature to control, did recently
arrest, condemn and execute, in a most
summary manner, the perpetrators of
the most diabolical crime that ever
darkened the annals of our county—a
crime too dark to contemplate without
the profoundest feelings of horror ; one
that would but very naturally arouse
a spirit of .vengeance even in the most*
law-abiding men. A wife murdered
and outraged by fiends in human shape,
and at a time when no friendly liana
was near to defend; a husband made
frantic by the cruel blow ; a grey-haired
father prostrated with grief at‘the vio
lent death of his lovely daughter; and
the loving, doting mother suddenly
summoned to give up her idolized
child; a community startled and
outraged by the dreadful deed. All
of this was well calculated to impell
men forward and for the time cause
them to forget tho solemn requirements
of tho law. And while we, with one
accord, are fully satisfied that they did
but anticipate the law and its penalties,
yet in this their acts wero wrong; and
wo exceedingly regret that they did not
leave it to the courts and the officers,
appointed for the purpose, tp have moot
ed out to tho guilty wretches the pun
ishment they so richly deserved. We
endorse the able and exhaustive charge
of his Honor, Judge Crawford, on this,
and thank him for his effort to protect
society in this behalf. And wo cio most
earnestly call upon all good and law-
loving citizens to avoid a recurrence of
such acts of violence, and wo trust that
tho scenes about which wo speak may
never again be witnessed in our county.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge
Crawford, we compliment him for the
able and impartial manner in which ho
dispenses justice from the bench, and
tender him our thanks for his hinclness
to our body. Also to Solicitor General
Bussey for his attention to tho duties
of his *p°sition and his courtesy to us
during tho week.

Crawford, Ala., Nov. 3, 1877.
Editor Columbus Enquirer: Dear
Sir—On tho evening of tho 3d instant
the negro Owen Wright, who commit
ted rape on Mrs. Ellington, five miles
west of Crawford, and tho colored
woman Nancy Armor, within one mile
of Crawford, on the evening of tho
same day, it being the 1st day of Octo
ber, of the present year, was taken
from jail, in Seale, and carried to the
place at which ho violated the person of
Mrs. Ellington, and was there recog
nized by Mrs. Ellington as the fiend
who violated her person, she having
previously gone to jail and identified
him. After being fully identified as
the perpetrator of tho hellish deeds, he
made a full confession, acknowledging
having committed tho deeds with which
he was charged. After said confession,
a scaffold was ereoted and ho put upon
it, and while upon the scaffold ho made
a public confession, stating that he
committed the crime with which he was
harged; also confessed to having com
mitted tho same crime, that of rape,
five different times, and to shooting
four men—ono white man and throe
negroes—but stated that neither of the
men ho had shot had died. Also stated
that his old mistress had written to him
to come back, that is to Georgia, to
prosecute “them men” in the United
States Court; that ho did prosecute
them under falso pretense, and that ho
was to receive a salary for said prose-
ution, and that his lawyer kept him
loekod up to keep him from them, but
policemen Jones was too sharp for
him, and got him out and delivered
him to Mr. Dudley, to ho carried back
to Alabama, lie also stated to Mr.
Dudley that he (Dudley) had out him
out of that salary.
In concluding his confession, he said
that he had been a bad man, and that it
was time an end had boon put to his
rascality, that ho desorvod death and
was willing to die.
His confession being ended, ho was
executed in tlie presence of four or five
hundred persons, who had assembled
to see that justice was done him.

MOSTfiOMKm r, ALABAMA.
Montgomery, Ala., Nov. 4, 1877.
Editor Enquirer-Sun : The State Fair
dosed yesterday and was a complete
success as far as attendance, which was
quite large. On Friday we, in com
pany with some Columbus "boys”,
started for the grounds, which are just
at tho edge of the city. A rain on tlie
night before had rendered tho walk
very disagreeable. Before arriving at
tho gate tlie pedestrian lias a log to walk
over a deep.mud hole. A son of Af
rica, having imbibed too freely, missed
the log and went “ca-slosh” in the mud
and water, head first; lie then placed
his cane down and endeavored*to rise
but it struck a softer place and under
went his hoad again, and but for the
-assistance of a dusky brother ho would
have been there till now. It afforded
amusement for a number of people,
who laughed as if their aides would
break.
THE FAIR GROUNDS.
The grounds are well located, though
very small, and the committee in charge
should endeavor to enlarge the enclos
ure before the next fair. The amphi
theatre is about one-third the size of
tlie one at your Fair, and was unable to
aeeommoduto half the ladies who at
tended. There was a small number of
agricultural implements on exhibition,
some of which seemed to be good in
ventions.
STOCK.
If the stock exhibited are the best of
Alabama, then deliver us from the best,
Why, wo can go to the Bonny Doon
Stock Farm and the most inferior of
the lot will far surpass any exhibited
here.
RACING
was the most interesting feature of the
week. Spider, of Columbus, trotted in
tho “free for all” races yesterday, and
won them fairly, but the judges were
either no judges, or prejudiced. Spi
der trotted, the mile and Alice West ran
tho best portion of it, and actually came
under tlie wire in a run in three differ
ent bouts. Spider won second prize,

AN EXCITE NO RACE IN MONTGOM
ERY ON SATURDAY.
Many of our readers who know Spi
der, the Columbus horse, and have
witnessed his performances, will be
interested in the following, which we
clip from tlie Advertiser:
trotting match for citizen’s purse
OF $250.
Free to all. Mile heats. Best three
in five. Four to enter, three to start.
$150 to first, $75 to second, $25 to third.
J. D. Odom enters Spider.
L. Smith enters Lady Turpin.
H. B. Seals enters Mina Link.
(4. F. Geers enters Alice West.
The interest of the whole week
seemed to be centered in this race.
Betting was very heavy, and tlie pools
ent off rapidly, Alice Wost being the
favorite. This mare has a splendid
record, and has made less than 2:30.
Tlie track here, however, was verj'
heavy, and fast time a matter of impos
sibility. Lady Turpin is a magnificent
animal, with a very fast record. Spi
der is Alabama raised, and had tne
sympathy of hosts of friends, many of
whom risked their judgment and
money on him.
Spider won track, Alice second. Lady
Turpin third. Mina Link withdrawn.
Alice got the lead and kept it easily to
the quarter pole in 0:40$, when Spider
moved up nearly even, Lady Turpiii
not far behind, and all passed, the half-
mile pole close together in 1:21$. Alice
kept ahead, the others near at hand,
passing tlie three-quarter pole in 2:00$ L
Down tlie home stretch Lady Turpin
and Spider received the lash at a furi
ous rate, but Alice passed under tho
string winner in 2:41$, Lady Turpin
second and Spider third.
Tlie excitement now was at fever
heat, tlie friends of Alice shouting for
their favorite. Spider seemed to be,by
common consent, regarded as her prin
cipal competitor, though he was last in
tlie first lieat. Considerable sums of
money were put up and bidding at the
pool sale was decidedly vigorous.
Second lieat.—There was great diffl
culty in getting a start, but finally the
word was given. Spider slightly led
past tho quarter pole in 0:39$, the half
mile in 1:19$ and the three-quarter in
1:59, when Alice passed to the front and
won the heat in 2:41$, Spider hardly a
length behind, and Lady Turpin very
close up.
Again tlie shouting was intense and
the excitement growing. If the track
had been in good condition the time
would have been below 2:30.
Third lieat.—Alice got the lead and
was in front all the way passing tlie
quarter in 0:34, the half in 1:30 and the
other two were even with each othor,
and tho lash was used on them consid
erably. Alice broke several times and
as she passed under the string first, but
only a length ahead of Spider, the heat
was awarded to the latter, in conse
quence of Alice’s running—time 2:41$.
Alice second and Lady T. third. All
tho horses were neck and neck during
a considerable portion of the heat.
Forth lieat.—The friends of Spider
were jubilant and counted confidently
on his being the winning horse. Much
of this interest was duo to his excellent
qualities and the fact of his being Ala
bama raised. At the word, Alice wont
ahead. Like tlie othor heats this was
vigorously contested throughout. The
quarter was made in 0:41, tlie half in
1:21—and Alice won the heat in 2:43.
Having won three heats, tho judges
announced that Alice was the winner.
Tho condition of the race being that the
winner should lieat 2:40, none of them
could claim the money, but tho judges
announced that they would unanfmous-
lv recommend that Alice receive the
first $150, Spider $75, and Lady T. $25.
This will no doubt be done, as the 2:40
would have been very easily beaten by
all of them on a dry track.
