Roheht L. Case, the President of

to live years for swearing to reports
whose correctness he took no pains to

Senator Bruce's Liberian emi

been impeached and disgraced beyond

he postponed until the reassembling

lately of tlie Cincinnati Enquirer.
Tlie Star says that "these gentlemen

A BABY show is probably a very
nice thing, and a very funny thing

to tlie New York pa pel's nearly every
baby on exhibition has a cold, and
the general prevalence of catarrh in
the head will probably result

ALDF.BMAN MIHOI.IA AM* THR
IMHI.M MIIWOIA.
It is customary for the various com
mittees of the City Council ut the
close of the fiscal year to make a re
port of the uctlons and doings of the
committee during their term of ser
vice. Alderman Nuckolls, as chair
man on Public Schools, last evening,
made a re)>ort * which Council very
wisely refused to adopt. The report
which was aimed at crippling the pres
ent school system, contains much of
an unfair and uncalled for criticism
and at the same time de
sires the present Council to recom
mend to the incoming Council an or
dinance tliat was defeated a few
months ago. If Council wanted such
an ordinance it certainly would have
had the manhood to have passed it.
and not do as Aldcnnun Nuckolls’
report suggested, that is, say to the
next Council, “We wouldn’t have
such an ordinance, but recommend
that you do.”
The charge against the teachers is
gratuitous, and unwarranted. The
report says : “AVliile they (the Com
mittee) saw much to commend, they
are compelled to admit that a hasty
visit of fifteen or twenty minutes to
each room, anticipated, perhaps, in
ever)/ instance, furnished no very re
liable source of information,” &o,
Alderman Houhessler refused to sign
the report and Alderman .Watt did
not approve It.
Now that charge is a serious one
against the teachers. It intimates
very plainly tliut they fix up
a “showing oil programme,”
thereby deceiving the repre
sentatives of Council when they
make a visit for the purpose of exam
ining into the working and efficiency
of the schools. AVe know personally
very teacher in these schools and
cannot be made to believe on Mr.
Nuckolls’ assertion that they would
lie guilty of such u deception.
With tlie exception of Professor
Rattle all tlie teachers are la
dles and are as noble and true as
any ladies in our community and to
lie thus maligned is a shame, espe
cially so as their sex and position ren
ders them powerless to defend them
selves. AVe regret that an Alderman
of the city sf Columbus should so fur
forget himself as to he so unjust and
unfair. If he is opposed to the Pub
lic School let him light il, but not use
the tongue of slander against a lot of
defenseless women.

SIIOBT CH ANCE FOB RELUHIU
The Republican majority in the
Senate have completed their sliume
less work of admitting Kelloggas Uni
ted States Senator from Louisiana,
for six years, commencing in 1877.
The prospects are his term will be
much shortened. AVe do not believe
there is a fair man in the United
States who believes lie was legally
elected. I n one year more tlie Senate
will lie reversed in political sentiment.
No endeavor of tlie Republicans can
prevent the admission of forty-two
Democratic Senators. They have
been already won and no fortuitous
circumstances can alter the returns.
It is as certain us the world stands.
AVitli tills national party in power,
the men who have acquired position
through partisan majorities,hatredand
chicanery can hope form) favors. They
must accept the inevitable and quit.
In Louisiana, evidence lias been and
is quietly being collected, and when
Mr. Kellogg is confronted with tills
undoubted proof and a national
party, lie must nt once resign
or lie expelled. Tlie most fraud
ulent of all abettors and instigators
of a notorious fraud to benefit himself
cannot hope to long triumph by ids
own iniquitous conduct. The fruits
of Ids ill gotten gains will turn to
ashes on Ills lip. He may draw Ills
salary for the ]Mist and one more year
and then lie must lie buried witli oth
ers of the carpet-bag tribe who so long
have misrepresented States. He must
unite his fate with his own persuu-
slon. His conduct cannot stand the
test of an open investigation. The
proof is too strong for that. The
Dcmocrjits will certainly have forty-
two of the seventy-six Senators who
will take their scats on March 4th,
1870, now fifteen months oil - , and tlie
mntry may rest assured a carpet
bagger will not lie allowed to retain
tlie scat from a Southern State which
lie was permitted to take because of
his own fraud and tlie malignity of a
partisan majority. Democracy has
not only forty-two scats already won,
but has superior chances to win sever
al others, including Don Cameron’s,
of Pensylvania, and Conkllng’s, of
Now A'ork. AVe have enough already
to throw out Kellogg and the world
will say "the action is just.”
tate Elections. — They occur
to-morrow. The endeavor of every
true friend of the State should be to
make the vote for tlie new Constitu
tion as large as possible that its inllu-
nce limy bo felt far and wide. The
country is looking on and Georgia
xpccts every citizen to do his duty.
Go to the polls, vote yourselves, see
that your neighbors do likewise, bal
lot for the new Constitution, the
homestead law passed by the Conven
tion, and to complete the work of
retrenchment and reform vote to re
turn the capital to Milledgeville. lly
so doing good government is assured.
You may well lie convinced that
Atlanta docs not intend to build a
new capital, that she could not if she
would, and that at Millcdgevilletliere
will lie better legislation, shorter
sessions, and buildings ample enough
and handsome enough for any State—
where there is abundant room, and
structures tliut will last for ages with
out repairs.

Editors Enquirer-Sun: — This, I
am aware, is a day upon which as
little writing as possible should be
done. But It lius been such an event
ful day, that I concluded I would
furnish your readers with an early
account of what threw our oity Into
quite u state of excitement and gloom.
The day is a very pretty one, such a
lovely Sabbath as only can be seen in
the .South, a genial sunny day.
At about 11 o’clock, just os the con
gregations In the different churches
had become seated, the alarm of fire
was given, and the churches were
soon deserted by the male portion of
the congregations. The fire Itself
didn’t amount to much, being the
destruction of Klcplinger’s Cotton
Pickery, in fact, it burns up annu
ally, this lieing tlie third or fourth
time. At the fire a negro fireman
was struck on the head and will
probably die. A young man had his
leg broken by a bale of cotton falling
on it, and ninny persons got their
.Sunday clothes spoiled. But these
were trivial occurrences to what I am
now going to relate.
TERRIBLE DISCOVERY.
About the same hour the fire broke
out a gentleman was leisurely stroll
ing through the cemetery, when his
attention was called to two persons
lying near each other in a grave en
closure—a lady and gentleman. At
first, he thought they were asleep,
but ujxin closer observation, he dis
covered they were cold and stiff in
death. As I was on the Coroner’s
jury, I am able to give the facts as far
as possible. It seems the couple, Mr.
Tony Nicrosi and Miss Aurelia
Sharp, went to the grave-yard Satur
day afternoon,and were lust seen alive
by a colored man about 4o’clock; who
said, they were sitting upon
brick wall with their
hands clasped, looking very serious.
Mr. Clay, the sexton, said he left the
yard about dark, and up to that time
hud heard no report of fire arms. The
deed must have been committed ufter
nightfall. It secniH they had gone
there with the premeditated purpose
of suicide. They were sitting togeth
er, and It is supiiosed he first Bhot her
and then shot himself. Both were
shot through the head. She lay upon
her left side with the pistol under her
arm, and lie lay upon his right side.
Upon ills person was found tlie fol
lowing note:
"Dear Brother: Good bye. Both
Aurelia and myself aro willing to dio
for each other. Kiss mother for mo.
I have passed too many unpleasant
hours for otliors; amt when you receive
this, you will.seo that I am going. Good
bye. I am yonr young brother,
"Tony.”
The tragedy east a gloom over tlie
entire city. Mr. Nicrosi was a hand
some man, well to do, and probably
25 years of age; Miss Sharp wasuhout
18 years of ago and very pretty. The
datives of each were opposed to their
union. As eacli heart lias its aches
and sorrows, let us drop die mantle of
churity over too hearts united in love
and joined in death.

Few Interesting Fnete About An
drew Johnson's Private Papers.
Nearly-nil the new propositions of
fered in Congress for settling disputed
Presidential elections contemplate
their settlement at AVashington.
They recognize the fact that there is
not so much difficulty in electing a
President ns In determining tlie result
deciding what votes shall be count
ed and then counting them; and they
propose tliat die adjudication shall
take place at AVashington, by some
supreme national authority whose de-
eison is to be final and absolute. But
Senator Eaton of Connecticut lias pri-
I iared a scheme that provides for ad-
udieiitlon where the disputes arise,
il tlie States, aud authorizes each State
to decide its own electoral contests,
and send tlie result up to AVashington
as its final voice. Tlie proposition di
rects that there, ahull he in eacli State
a tribunal of five persons learned in
the law, to be appointed by die Gover
nor, by and with the advice and con
sent of die Senate, to whom shall be
referred in such manner us the legis
latures shall direct, all cases of con
tested elections arising In refer
ence to electors of President
and Vic Pressleent. These persons
are to be appointed twelve months
before the presidential election, and are
to go out of office on the day fixed b,
law for the President and Viee-Presi
dent elect to take the oath of office.
I n other words, they are to serve foi*
one occasion, and u new tribunal is to
be appointed for each presidential elec
tion. They are to hear and deter
mine all contests at least thirty days
prior to the time fixed for the meet
ing of the electors to east their votes’
and their decision is to be certified to
die proper returning officer of the
State, and a copy sent to the President
of the Senate at AVashington.
Tlie philosophy of Senator Eaton’s
schonieis apparent; it rests on tlie the
ory of State rights, and assumes tliat
it is die prvilege of each State tosetde
its own electoral disputes—to declare
whom it votes for in a form and terms
that no other power may question. It
assumes tlicpossibilty tliut a national
tribunal nt Washington may falisfy
the vote of a State by accepting false
returns and rejecting the true ones
and although this wrong may as east
ly be done in the State as at Washing
ton, it is better that it should be done
in a Stute capital than in thenntional
capital, where It would assume the
character of a national wrong. Sena
tor Edmunds’ proposition provides
that all electoral disputes shall be sniv
el it ted to aud decided by the United
States Supreme Court; hut there is tlie
objection to this tliat it would tend to
bring that body into eon tempt in eases
marked by high party passion. Tlie
Eaton plan is preferable; it would have
the merit of dispersing instead of con
centrating national quarrels, and of
depriving tlie Federal power of all au
thority over tlie electoral vote of tlie
States.—St. Louis Republican.

AUterman ReUflelil's ChaUunooya tetter in the
Cincinnati Commercial.]
You have noticed lately floating
about in the papers letters written to
Andrew Johnson while President.
One attracting much attention was
tliat detailing how Jefferson Davis,
then head of tlie Southern Confeder
acy, saved tlie life of Johnson in 1801.
All these letters are credited to the
Atlanta Constitution, as having first
appeared in tliat paper. In it recent
number of that sheet I saw two
columns of letters to Johnson, written
by various distinguished men ill 1801,
among them R, AV. Thompson, now
Secretary of the Navy.
Some people, in fact most people,
don’t understand how this happened.
Is tlie Atlunta Constitution a sort of
literary administrator upon tlie
papers of the ex-President ? I will
tell you about it, so far as I know,
which is some distance fnrther than
the most of folks know, else they
would not ask questions in relation
thereto.
Johnson saved all his papers. He
died leaving them in the upper story
of a brick store in Greenville, tlie
lower story occupied by his son-in-
law, Brown, in tne mercantile busi
ness. His only living son, Andy, Jr.,
is a companion and mend of Sam AV T .
Small, a Greenville youth, now one
of the editors of the Atlanta Constitu
tion. As I understand it, Mr. Small
has obtained copies of many of the
late President’s papers, and Is pub
lishing suelf of them as seem perti
nent, from time to time.
Through all Mr. Johnson's long li fe
it was liis habit to Haveliis papers. So
careful was he to preserve tlie thread
of history tliat lie brought to Green
ville witli him complete flies of three
leading New York dailies covering
his term as President. Of telegrams
alone he must have left more than a
bushel in compact form. He saved
them all; none were considered of so
little importance as not to be wortli
saving. He remarked to me once
how little a space a folded letter took
up, and what small trouble to save
them, and how important they some
times became.
How long tlie “serial story of John
son’s letters" will appear in tlie Con
stitution I do not know, but those
who remember to have written to
A. J. on political topics may keep an
eye in tins direction.
Johnson’s only living son, Frank,
but who signs himself “Andrew
Johnson, Jr.,” resides in Greenville.
As I have said, tlie friendship exist
ing between himself uml Editor
Small, who is about his own age, un
doubtedly accounts for nn occasional
broadside of tilts late President’s pa
pers appearing in print. During the
campaign of 1872, when Johnson was
a candidate for Congress from tlie
State at large, Small aud Andy, Jr.,
wishing to aid the "old man” and at
the same time perfect themselves in
the noble art of public speaking, or
ganized a stumping tour in tliat wil
derness country at the base of the
Smoky mountains. They invited me
to participate, and argued that we
three in solid phalanx upon tlie stump
would undoubtedly carry consterna
tion into the ranks of the enemy. I
suggested tliut tlie idea was good, and
that I was willing to labor among tlie
brethren for Johnson, but tliut there
was no use in going so far from tlie
busy haunts of men. Why lieu to the
mountains to make so-called speeches?
Small replied that us we are all young
and Inexperienced in this sort of
thing, we hud better go so far in the
mountains tliat tlie people won’t
know u d—dfool when they see him.”
The argument was good, but I plead
ed prior engagements, and young
Andy and Small went into the moun
tains alone. Their first appointment
was an illicit still-house, at tlie foot
of Smoky Mountains, where they
had a vast and intelligent audience of
three. One appointment only was
kept, when they returned to tlie con
fines of civilization. Tlie “experi
ence” as a public speaker which Mr.
Small guined upon that immortal oc
casion must have been of benefit, for
he is now canvassing North Georgia
in behalf of Atlanta as tlie State cap
ital, which momentous question is to
be settled at tlie polls a week from to
morrow.
As for young Johnson, lie lias set
tled down to a quiet Greenville life,
und manifests little disposition to fol
low in his father’s footsteps. He never
put out for office but once, and that
wus two years ago, when lie was a
candidate for the Legislature, and his
fellow-citizens of Greene county con
cluded to retain him at home.

Ollier conditions lieing equal, there Is no
reason why a healthy man or woman should
not enjoy life; and It may well be doubted

A Pasha, with 200 men, is said to
have passed over to the Russian camp,
and, having given tlie enemy valua
ble information about weak points in
tlie defences, to have guided one at
