The Wealth of Gcor"la.
We have just had laid upon our table
a copy of the Comptroller General’s
(Hon. Madison Bell) Report of the State
of Georgia, submitted to tne Governor,
Jun. 1st, 1873. We just have time to
collect the following statements from
that document in regard to the returns
and valuations of the landed wealth of
Georgia.
The number of acres returned for 1872,
is 33,555,907 acres, a decrease of 564,219
acres as compared with the report for
1871.
The aggregate value of iand is put
down at $96,313,539, showing a decrease
of $544,153 since 1871. (There is an error
ni the Report as printed.)
The aggregate value of land per acre
is $2 87—three cents per acre more than
in 1871.

902—aggregate value of the same $2,105,
118, or thirty-five cents per acre.
Number of acres of improved land not
returned for 1872, 214,739 acres—aggre
gate value of the same $833,481.
Value of city and town property for
1872, $55,219,519—increase s : nc3 1871,
$3,059,785.
Amount of money and solvent debts
for the past year, $33,629,751--increase

since 1871.
Plantation and mechanical tools, $164,-

Number of hands employed between
twelve and sixty-five years of age, 110,-

Constitutional Convention.
By reference to yesterday’s proceed
ings of the Legislature, it will be seen
that Mr. J. N. Gilmore, of Washington,
introduced a bill in the House calling
for a State Convention to revise the Con
stitution of Georgia. The bill provides
for tho election for delegates to be held
in each county in the mode and manner
of other State elections, and that each
county shall be'entitled to representation
in the House. It also provides that said
Convention shall assemble at the Capitol
on tho second Wednesday in May next.
The Constitution, after being revised by
said Convention, is to be submitted to
the people for ratification.
The main object is to secure represen
tation in the lower branch of the Legis
lature to the four new counties of Dodge,
Douglas, Rockdale and McDnffie, and to
protect the State against the fraudulent
purposes aud corrupt practices of the
holders of illegal bonds; to limit the
pardoning power of the Governor, and
for other purposes.

The Prince Imperial.
The young Prince Napoleon Eugene
Louis Jean Joseph was bom on the 15th
cf March, 1856, and is, tnerefore, now
drawing toward the completion |of his
seventeenth year. While still in arms
he waa plooed on the master-roll of the
French Imperial Guards as a private iu
the regiment; for, as it wkb intended
that he should receive a military educa
tion, and afterward assume a military
command, it was designed, as a compli
ment to the army, that he shonld, at
least nominally, go through all the gra
dations of the service.
When old enough to begin to learn the
military exercises, he was put through

tion of a lady residing near by, who called
to the assassin to desist. After brutally
mangling the girl he tried to pitch the
almost lifeless body over an embank
ment, but the Fleming stage coming along
just at t‘us time,he fled, leaving the snow
and cold to complete his hellish work.—
Shortly after the occurrence Michael
Gilmore came ont cf liis house, heard
her groans, instituted search, cud finally
found the unfortunate creature, lie
carried her to the house ot Nelson Mc-
Kinnivan, a colored man, wnere she was
promptly cared for by the occupants.
On Monday the court convened, when
Judge Phister, on behalf of accused,
waived an examination, aDd gave bond
in the sum of $10,000 for his appear
ance at the March teim of the Circuit
Court.
The outrage, of which the foregoing
are the details, is of the most brutal
character. Lloyd is a powerful man, far
above the ordinary standard. His weight
is stated at two hundred and sixty-five
pounds, and he looks every ounce of it.
His victim is a little short of a dwarf,
weighing little lees than ninety-five
pounds.
He bears an unenviable reputation of
being quarrelsome, always ready to en
gage in a row with any one who difiers
with him, and generally able to chastise
his adversary. He has money, and con-
plaints of the scarcity of small change,
went into ihe manufacture of nickels.—
His efforts were appreciated, and he is
now in jail.

years old. By this time, too he had
been mads a non-commissioned officer
oi his regiment, and passed, step by step,
through the various grades toward the
rank of colonel. But, while special at
tention was given to his military train
ing, his education as a citizen was not
neglected. Besides the ordinary rudi
ments of instruction, he received lessons
in two or three handicrafts, the last of
which was the setting up of types in the
imperial printing office of Paris. The
object of this muy have been simply to
extend bis sphere of knowledge, and en

ability to earn a living like an ordinary
individual has before now proved a valu
able accomplishment for even the heir
to a throne.

Louis Phillippe, while in exile in Switz

A unique thing in the elopement line
is tbe recent double elopement from
Providence, in which a man named Burns

when an exchange was agreed npoD,
Tracy taking Burns’ wife—about which
there are some new developments.
Tracy’s wife shortly after left Barns anu
returned to her proper place, forcibly
ejecting the other woman from tho prem
ises. Her husband, bound to make the
most of her when he fonnd her unrelent
ing, borrowed from her a valuable gold
She has no money, a doubtful cliHrac-
ter and no substantial friends save those
who have been drawn to her by the in
human act which came nigh tuning her
ofl'. Hud tho pirties been equally
matched, it would have been cruel for
the assailant to have left his victim to die
in the snow. What of the man who
would beak and batter a poor human
creature with a hickory club, wielded by
both hands ? What shall we say of the
heart which is not melted by woman’s
tears, and woman’s piteous supplications
for mercy ? But we have no taste for
moralizing.
It may be said we aro prejudicing this
case. We think not. Lloyd is charged
with the crime. The p'roof is conclusive.
A witness who knew both parties saw
them together near Limestone bridge
about dusk. Lloyd was in Maysville at
that time. His horse was in a livery
stable here, and it was just twenty min
utes past six o’clock when he called for
it. We have no desire to prejudice any
one againt the accused. If he can prove
himself guiltless we shall be heartily
glad of it, for we dislike to believe that
our county contains a citizen who would
perpetrate such a fiendish crime. We
should feel as secure in the jungles of
Asia as in a community where such a
wretch is tolerated.
Had she been killed outright, the crime
would not appeared as black. It was
tue brutality of the attempt. A lonely
place—a bitter, bitter cold night—the
giound coated with snow—all dark ns
Erebus—whut fitting surroundings lor a
giant, armed with a hickory club, to
assail and beat nearly to death a poor,
puny, deienccless woman !
It is idle, however, to waste words and
space. The case, in our judgment, is
already disposed of. Kentucky justice
is a farce. Tuis will be a repetition of
the old, old story. The victim will re
cover; a few i.uudrcd dollars will induce
her to leave the State; the judge will go
through the form of calling the case; no
one appears against tue accuse r, and the
matter lorever ends.

he returned for some coffee, and S l t
seated at. tne table the youns
Eimyra Stickley, came behind him .“j 4*
stood at the back of his chair. He kj
just notified them of bis intenuoiul
leave on that day, when the girl
diately drew a revolver and fired theb^ 1
striking the back of his head and pY '
ing round to his lorehead, whereitlouraj H :
Wright arose to his feet and sank k ' \
the floor. He arose again and started !
for the door, where Richard Georw \
man working for the Sticklers,
him back. Wright exclaimed: “latme '
out; I am smothering, and must have
air !” George refused to let him oat 1
Wright then turned to the window i n i - '
which there was a broken glass, and’en- \ •
deavored to pull some things ont to get j
his hand through the opening, 1
While engaged iu this the hired man
fired at him, tho ball striking him near
tne left temple aud lodging on the oppo
site side. Tne old woman remarked be
fore the second shot was fired. “It serves
you right, you Lad no business to make
love to the girl.” This imputation m
promptly aud emphatically denied bj
Wright. After this Wright succeeded I
in getting out of the house, and started j
for the sohool house, but fell several k
times. He finally discovered one of the r
school boys, who assisted him into a
neighboring house, and medical aid was
at once procured.
The authorities at Cedar Falls wefe
notified in a short time, and the Stick-
leys and the man were put under arrest,
and are now awaiting the final result of
their devilish work before the examina
tion is held. Intense excitement pre
vailed in the neighborhood where the
affair occurred, and threats of lynching
were made, but better counsels pre
vailed. The. Stickley family are repre
sented as quarrelsome, disagreeable peo
ple, and report says the daughter is
encienU.1; hence her great desire to get a
husband. The hired man is also mixed
up in the girl’s affairs, but to what extent
I am unable to learn.
As far as Wright is concerned, he gen
erally is exonerated from all blame,
either in making love to the girl cr lav
ing any criminal intimacy with her.—
This morning Wright is still aliva asi
conscious, but the physicians give no
hope of nis recovery. Neither of tut
balls have been extracted, for the reuse:
that the wounds are considered fatal, ani
there would be nothing gained io taking
them out. The murderers are now con
fined in Waterloo jail to await exarnin*
tion, which, owing to the prevailing «•
citemeut, has not yet mken place.

A Virginia Mystery.
The Charlottesville Chronicle publishes
a wonderful story of a child having been
left with the colored man lately mur-
derea there, and says a lady got off the
cars mysteriously last spring, aud, going
to his house, gave birth to a child there,
and afterwards left, and that s.nce tnen
regular instalments of money have been
received by Gratton and his family for
the care uud support of this unknown
child, which is still with his family, near
Meochum’s nver. The mother is re
ported as young, beautiful, and of high
estate, while the chila is one of nnusual
beauty; and the mystery is likely to re
main unsolved now that Grafton Banks
is dead, for he alone knew where the
mother lived.
