Texas, September 2, 1871.
J. Henly Smith, General Editor Atlanta
Sun:
D»ab Sie : It is with pleasure that I
forward to you the inclosed list of sub
scribers, amounting in number to one
hundred and four, with draft on New
York for $104 to pay their subscription
for one year to The Weekly Sun.
Only a few days since your paper
reached our town, through Judge Mc
Guire, the only subscriber here at the
time, and almost without exertion the
list herewith inclosed was obtained.
The people of Texas are thoroughly
aroused ou the question of politics, and
will hail with delight the appearance of
your paper, which so truly reflects the
policy to be pursued to insure the con
tinuation of a republican government, as
established by Jefferson and our other
fathers of-1776.
The arguments of Mr. Stephens on
the abomination of the “New Depar
ture,” and the fraudulent amendments,
arc so clear and conclusive that the most
“wayward” who reads can readily un
derstand the real situation and the real
issue.
I cannot, sir, properly express my ad
miration of the course of The Sun, and
the stand it has taken for the constitu
tional rights of our people.
Many other names could be added to
this list in a few days, but justice to
those already subscribed compels me to
forward it at this time.
Very respectfully,
P. S.—I really believe that more than
another hundred names can be added to
this list in a very short time.

Interesting Trial.
Last week the Superior Court, Judge
Hopkins presiding, was in session at
Jonesboro, and will continue this week.
All of last week was consumed in the
trial of Henry J. Hugbie, charged with
the murder of C. A. Dollar—resulting in
a verdict of acquittal, which was render
ed about 9 o’clock Saturday.
Mr. Dollar came to bis death on the
1st day of October last, in an altercation
or difficulty with Mr. Hughie—the cir
cumstances of which are remembered by
tbe community.
There was great difficulty in selecting
a jury, and almost the whole county was
exhausted before it was completed.—
Nearly every man bad formed or expres
sed an opinion. Finally, a Very intelli
gent and satisfactory jury was empaneled
and tbe trial progressed patiently, with
an immense crowd to witness it from first
to last, though all was quiet and no de
monstration of any kind from first to last.
The evidence closed late Friday even
ing, and argument proceeded, followed
by the Judge’s charge, which was given
to the jury at one o’clock in the night.
There were no less than 36 witnesses ex
amined.
The following are the attorneys in the
case:
For tbe State: Solicitor General How
ell, Col. J. D. Stewart of Griffin, Col.
J. L. Doyal of Jonesboro, and B. T. Dor
sey of Fayetteville.
For the defense: Tidwell and Fears of
Fayetteville, Hnlsey & Tigner, M. P.
Byington and B. J. Cowart -of Atlanta,
and J. L. Blalock and Q. C. Greer of
Fayetteville. „

New Orleans, September 11.—-Two
blocks in the business part of Minden
were destroyed by fire last night. .The
loss amounts to 8100,000, and only $25,-

San Francisco, S^pt. 11—The Repub
licans have elected all of the three Con
gressmen.
Portland, Sept. 11.—The vote in this
city was light and the result close.
A Lewiston dispatch says the Bepubli-
earig are 250 ahead. It went Democratic
last year by 80 majority.
Later.—The vote of this city (Port
land) gives Perham (Rep.) 2,174 and
Kimball (Dem.) 1885. Scattering 1*2.—
Republican majority 271 against 411 last
year.
Sull Later.—Nine towns give a Re
publican majority of 386. The same
towns, last year, gave a Democratic ma
jority of 304. This includes Bangor,
where the Republican gain is very large,
the Democratic candidate last year being
a resident there.
Lewiston.—Androscoggin county goes
Republican by 1,200 majority, against
400 last year.
Bangor.—Only a two-thirds vote was
polled here to-day. Perham gets 1,466
and Kimball gets 1,119—being a Repub
lican gain of 937. The Republicans elect
the Representatives and county officers
by about the same majority. Democrat
ic Representatives were eleven last year-

Important Action.
On Saturday morning the Board—
President Campbell Wallace in the
chair—held a meeting at the banking
house of John H. James, at which the
resignations of Thos. Alexander, Charles
W. Wells, and A. M. Speights were ac
cepted, and these vacancies filled accord
ing to the terms of the Charter and By-
Laws, by the election of Col. Geo. W.
Adair, Judge Julius A. Hayden, and
Maj. William J. Garrett, each of whom
accepted the position, and will heartily
exert all their energies and influence to
push the work forward.
These are the right kind of men,
among our best citizens, having financial
ability, credit, influence and reputation,
which are.not confined to this city; men
too, of first class business qualifications
who are able to take hold ofjudiciously,
and wield advantageously, great financial
enterprises. We congratulate the Board,
the cify and the country upon this very
proper selection of men to fill the va
cancies. They will be acceptable to
every true friend of the Road.
And here let us say a word for two of
the members who have resigned, we
allude to Mr. Wells and Mr. Speights,
and in doing so, we speak
by their authority. They accepted the
positions tendered them by the Council,
with a full determination to dp all they
could for the road in any and every way.
It was a position new to them, and they
did not, at the time, comprehend the
great responsibilities it would impose;
and this is a matter upon which the City
Council in its corporate capacity does not
appear to have reflected upon.
As soon as they saw that others might
perhaps be able to serve the company
more efficiently, or that some persons in
the community were of that opinion, they
at once tendered their resignations. They
acted patriotically throughout, and
deserve, and have, the good opinion
of the community. They have shown
themselves entitled to the same—shown
that they have no desires, no aims, no
ambition that will for a moment be per
mitted to stand in the way of the public
good or the interest of the road—not
even if it exist in imagination only.
In the afternoon another meeting was
held, at which all necessary business was
transacted. Each one was enthused, and
determined to push the work vigorously.
Highly encouraging reports were made.
The engineers are hard at work, and are
finding a much better route than was an
ticipated; and what is most encouraging
of all, there is every reason to be
lieve, and to feel full confidence, that
if Georgia will build the road to the Al
abama line, it will certainly be completed
to Elyton without any unnecessary de
lay.
The following committees were ap
pointed:
Committee on Subscription*—Vie# President
James, John Collier, sod A. W. Mitchell.
Executire Committee-—John H. James. John Col
lier and E. Y. Clarke.
The greatest portion of the burden
"Will fall upon this city. Let ns shoulder

Only three of the nineteen were unhurt.
The wind was blowing in the direction of

Lexington, Sept. 11.—A terrible mur
der was committed last night at the resi
dence of John Harper, the owner of the
racehorse Longfellow, near Midway.—
Jake and Betsey, brother and sister of
John Harper had their throats cut by
some unknown person. It is supposed
to have been done for the purpose of rob
bery. Scrare negroes, who were living
within a few feet of Harper’s residence,
knew nothing of the occurrence until
this morning. No clue can be obtained
to the perpetrators of the bloody deed.
Later.—Three of the negroes living
on John Harper’s place have been ar
rested as the murderers of Jake and
Betsey Harper. Blood was found upon
their shirts, and the evidence against
them is very strong. Several other ne
groes who were employed upon the place
are missing, and it is believed'that they
are implicated in the terrible affair. A
large party of citizens has started to hunt
for the missing negroes.
Philadelphia, September 11.—It is

assassination of one or two prominent

ad occurrence happened near the resi
dence of Mrs. Shepherd, where she was

deeply sympathize with the distressed
family.
TALBOTTON.
The Standard of last week speaks as
follows of the crop prospects:
We do not see any cause to change our
estimate made in August in regard to tbe
prospects in this county. The boll worm
has not been so damaging as tbe rust,
which has spread throughout the county,
checking the growth and development of
the top crop. The late storm prostrated
fields of cotton and late corn, leaving a
big bole around the former. In conse
quence of rust, entire fields of cotton will
soon be opened. Tbe crop will be from
one-half to two-thirds in Talbot. Con
sidering tbe decreased acreage this year,
we cannot realize much more than half
the number of bales of 1870. A few far
mers report their crops as good as last
year; but this results from high manur
ing and cultivation. Plenty of corn,
with few exceptions, occasioned by over
flows on low-grounds, will be made for
home consumption.
