Having been officially notified that
the city of Albany cannot entertain the
Convention which was to have conven
ed this February loth, it is hereby or
dered, by virtue of the power vested i'.i
me as President of the State Agricul
tural Society, that the meeting ot the

it will be held in the city of Macon on

A Change.
A note’ from Mr. Dan Davis, Sheriff
of Webster county, to the editor of this
paper informs us that after the expira
tion of thirty days all notices eminat
ing from hi 9 office will hereafter be
published in another paper. For more
than a quarter of a century the legal
advertisements of Webster county have
been published in the Sumter Republi
can, and the relations of the various
officers of the county and the editor,
during the long years, have been pleas
ant and agreeable. No good reason
can be assign why the present Sheriff
should make a change and we feel sat
isfied that his course in this respect
will not meet the approval of the citi
zens of Webster county. In a financial
point of view the loss to the Republi
can's comparatively nothing, as the
fees from his advertisements amounts
to less than $25 a year. For the benefit
of our numerous subscribers in Web
ster, we will state that the change will
make no difference with them, as we
will publish all notices the sheriff may
advertise as heretofore, so that they
may not he compelled to take another
paper solely on account of the Sheriff
sales being published in it.
While we regret that Sheriff Davis
should have pursued the course he has
in reference to the withdrawal of his
patronage from the Republican, yet if
he thinks it for the public interest that
feeling satisfied that his course will not
meet the approval of the citizens of
Webster and that the change will he
but temporary.
There will be no change in the Or
dinary’s office. All notices eminating
from that office will continue to appear
in the Republican as heretofore.
Our New Press.
Last fall, the proprietor of this pa
per ordered anew Campbell cylinder
press, manufactured expressly to order.
The press has arrived, and we hope to
have it placed in position next week.
The press cost Jfl6oo laid down in
Americas, and is 6aid to be one of the
best ever turned out from the Campbell
Printing Press Manufacturing Cos. As
soon as we get it in working order we
intend to extend an invitation to the
public to call and see the handsomest
printing press ever brought to South
west Georgia. With anew press, new
hands and good type, the old Republi
can will be rigged out for anew voy
age on the sea of journalism.
An Able Speech.
Seuator Joseph E. Brown, has our
thanks for a copy of his late speech in
the United States’ Senate, on the rights
of citizens of the late Confederate States
to the ten millions of dollars now in
the National Treasury, and which is
the proceeds of the sale of cotton and
other property, seized by the agents of
■ the Federal Government during, and
immediately following the close of the
war. The Senator has made a very
able argument and strong appeal in be
half of the people of the South, and
we hope he may be successful in his
efforts to recover this sum of money,
which is locked up in the vaults of the
government, and has been for eighteen
years.
It is stated that Mrs. Congressman
Hoge, of West Virginia, announces the
coming nuptials of Senator David Da
vis and Miss A. E. Burr, of Fayette
ville, N. C. The Senator, besides be
ing a man ofjweight, is well endowed
with the world’s goods. He can write
his check for some odd millions and
have it honored. It would appear that
the "third party” is about to dissolve.
The Hon. Alexander H. H. Stuart
has been requested by the Historical
Society of Virginia to prepare a history
of the events of 1869 “which led to the
restot ration of the State to her place in
the Union.”
The Washington Post is correct;
sensible Democrats do not desire that
the Forty-seventh Congress shall ef
fectually shirk the duty of tariff revi
sion.
Letter from Leesburg.
Leesburg, February Ist, 1883.
Our Cumberlanders expect to hoist
sail and steam out on the night of the
12tli. I go to write up the Atlantic
ocean. I understand I have never seen
it. I once stood upon the deck of a
steamer, near Staten Island, and saw,
away out in the east, a boundless
stretch of waters dashing, splashing,
surging and sparkling in the light of a
cloudless summer day. That, they told
me, was only New York harbor. So
my eyes have never yet rested upon an
ocean. I learn from geography that an
ocean is a large body of water not en
tiiely surrounded by anything in par
ticular. It is evidently quite moist and
not altogether from nausea, as is indi
cated by it’s “heaving billows.” But
I must not prejudge a matter which I
go to investigate and expound. The
trip will be comparatively inexpensive
and I hope our force will be recruited
by a full ethitorial muster roll of south
western Georgia. lam trying to nego
tiate with the railroad authorities to
let us give iron clad crop mortgages and
ride on a credit. That arrangement,
if affected, will greatly conduce to the
harmony and numerical force of the ex
pedition. lam a unanimous advocate
of crop mortgages. They are blessings
in the abstract and in the concrete and
I would willingly contribute my part
towards erecting a monumental sand
hill over the last snoozing place of their
inventor.
The weather has—oh pshaw every
body knows what the weather has done.
Everybody bas liinesight on the sub
ject. Wiggins alone has foresight.
An old gentleman here says he knows
that whole Wiggins family. He lauds
them in the following terms. “I wish
the vessel that brought over the first old
man Wiggins, who’s been dropping
Wiggins’ all about over ihj couitry,
l wish that vessel had sunk in its pas
sage. They are a set of abominable
liars. I don’t mean the Wigginses
generally but these Wigginses especial--
ly.” Mother Shipton and Proctor and
Wiggins and the rest of the predictors
keep me in such a fever of excitement
that I am continually taking bromide
to quiet my nerves. They ought to be
ashamed of themselves.
The male belle of Lee county says he
is by no means mercenary, but he has
made up his mind to marry no girl until
he finds that her father has managed to
scratch round and dig up bait enough
to last, the wretch.

The Milledgeville Union Recor
der thinks there ought to be a law en
acted requiring the Governor to pub
lish every public proclamation one time
in every newspaper in the State. It is
not the small pittance the country and
town papers ask, but it is only justice
to their readers who never see a daily
city paper. This was done by Gov.
Herschel V. Jonhson whenever he is
sued a proclamation in which every
citizen of the State was interested.”
Speculation as to the choice of the
speaker of the next House of Represen
tatives is still lively. A Democrat will
be elected, of course, and the general
opinion is that Mr. Carlisle, of Ken
tucky, will be chosen. He has proba
bly the most strength, but it would not
at all surprise us if Mr. Randall should
be elected by a union of the great body
of Republicans with a few Democrats
—especially if the work of tariff revi
sion should go over to the Congress.
Rev. Dr. Hieks, spiritual adviser of
Charles Guiteau, lias executed a legal
instrument transferring to Surgeon
General Crane all his right and title

bequeathed his body to Dr. Hicks, and
it leus evidence of acknowledgment be

General Crane is unable at present to

The New York Globa (negro organ)
tells its readers fiatly that there .is no
law for the negro apart from the white

Two cents will pay postage on a half

provision is in the post-office appropria

It would be a great reproach upon
all Methodism for another donation to
be requested of Mr. Seroy for the com

A. GOOD MAN GONE WRONG.
T3e Treasurer of Alabama
Caught ou Cotton.
A Quarter of a Million of State
Funds Lost on “Futures” —Gonf, to
New York for His Money—Tiie
Treasury Investigated—Track of
the Defaulter Lost—The Deficit
Covered by Ample Bond.
Montgomery, Ala., Jan. 31.—The
committee to examine the books and
accounts of State Treasurer V incent,
were to begin the examination yester
day. Vincent left the city on Monday
night. A letter from him to his chief
clerk, was deliverred to the latter yes
terday afternoon and was laid before
the Governor. Vincent, said he was
behind but was going to New York to
get money, which the letter indicated
be had loaned. An examination of the
cashier’s and other books late last night
shows that Vincent speculated largely
in cotton futures. The deficit as far as
can be gathered at this time is between
$225,000 and $300,000. The Govern
or sends a message on the subject to
the Legislature.
Vincent left Monday night, by what
train is not known. The ticket agent
at the railroad office did not know him,
and all the conductors who went have
returned, and cannnot tell anything
about him. None of them know him.
The Governor will offer a large reward,
and has sent telegrams to all large
cities. Vincent is five feet ten inches
high, brown hair, beard full and long,
with mustache, has very ban teeth and
a scar on his forehead, from a wound in
battle. The Governor sent to the Leg
islature the following message:
To the Senate and House of Rep
resentatices : It becomes ray painful and
mortifying duty to inform you. that
Isaac H. Vincent, Treasurer of the
State, is short in his accounts, and has
left the city. This fact was made known
by Vincent in the following letter to
Mr. A. D Crawford, a clerk in his office,
dated the 29th instant, which was re
ceived by Mr. Crawford on the after
noon of the 30th instant, and was com
municated to me at 8:30 p. m. of that
dav:
“State of Alabama, Treasurer Dic
partment, Montgomery, Jan. 29, 83.
Dear Crawford: I find this evening
that my money is not here, neither has
it been paid over to the Importers’ and
Traders* Bank as promised. I leave
for New York to straighten the whole
matter. I have perhaps waited too
long, and will te censured, hut I have
no idea of running away. I wish you
would assist the committee, and after
the balance is ascertained ask them to
wait a day and telegraph me, care of
Fred. Wolffe, New York. If anything
happens to me I wish to state, emphat
ically and positively, that being behind
in my cash is my own fault, and that
you have had nothing to do with it.
“Your friend, I. 11. Vincent.”
The amount of Vincent’s defalcation
can only be ascertained after a careful
examination of the Treasurer’s books
Treasury, but a hurried ano pa ruin Vm*
vescigation indicates that it is more
than .$200,000. It is not known by
what train or in what direction Vincent
left Montgomery. Means have been
adopted to intercept and detain him if
possible. It is believed that the State
is largely secured against ultimate loss.
The two houses will have communica
tions delivered to them from time to
time of any further information that
comes into my hands. E. A. O’Neal,
Governor,
• Large sums of money sent to Fred.
Wolffe, supposed to be for dealings in
cotton, have been traced up, and Vin
cent dealt also, it is supposed, with
other cotton houses. ,
The legislative committee has now
counted the money in the Treasury
vault and found $120,000. The deficit
is $227,000 and is amply secured by
good bondsmen. It is developed • that
the money was taken in the last two
years, and nearly all before November
last. Vincent, a< cording to the state
ment by a witness made before the com
mittee, lost over SIOO,OOO in cotton
through one house, Fred. Wolffe’s and
some through others. It is surmised
that he may have loaned some, al
though no evidence to that effect has
been shown.
There lias been some talk since he
bought anew house, rich furniture
and a carriage and horse. The Governor
has taken charge of the keys of the
Treasury tor the present. The default
will not interfere with the State’s busi
ness in the least, nor cause any inter
ruption in the regular payment of war
rants. The January interest is all
paid.

occurred one of the most disastrous
snow slides ever known in the Rocky

men, employed in the Howard F. Smith

from sleep by an ominous rumbling
noise, and almost instantly the ava

in which they were sleeping was crush

buried down the mountain side. A

UNREQUITED LOVE.
A Young Man Seeks the Eternal
Sleep Because His Giuif went Back
on Him —A Midnight Go-as-you
Please Walking Match.
Macon Graphic January 3lst.
About hall-past seveu o’clock last
evening a young man named George A.
Taylor entered the bar attachment to
Mr. McKenna’s grocery store,on Fourth
street, and called for a glass of grog.
The accommodating bar-tender sat his
wants before him, and noted the woe
begone, anxious expression of his custo
mer’s face. After pouring out a gener
ous tod, Mr. Taylor produced from his
vest pocket a worn looking pill box of
postage stamp dimensions, and emptied
the contents into his liquor and quaffed
the dose without a grunt. He took his
seat under the awning without the store,
and, after several moments of silence,
handed a young clerk his empty pill
box, and upon the top lid of it was seen
th words, “30 grains of morphine.”
The clerk stood aghast at the revela
tion, and wanted to call in the services
of a stomach pump immediately. His
fears were finally allayed, and Mr.
Taylor took a walk down Fourth street,
went into a barbershop, and was about,
going to sleep, when a rescuing party
of friends rushed in and took bold of
him. He had already commenced to
writhe and twitch, and it was with
great difficulty that they succeeded in
getting him to his home out in the same
neighborhood. There the services of
Dr. Gewlnner were procured. He mere
ly advised copious draughts of coffee
and the necessity of keeping the patient
awake. The coffee was hastily made,
and with about a gallon of it the would
be suicide was drenched. Then started
the walking match. One friend would
grasp him by the arm and walk until
tired, and then another would take his
place. In this manner as many as half
a dozen warm friends were walked down
to breathlessness. But victory crown
ed their efforts, and the young man by
morning was out of danger.
Mr. Taylor is well known in the
community as a worthy young man,
and has a large number of friends. IJp
to a few months ago he was a drug
clerk in Brunner’s drug store, on
Fourth-street, but since his engagement
there tenninated he has beenoutof em
ployment. No other cause for his at
tempt to take his own life is known ex
cept that for months he has been pay
ing attention to an estimable young
ladv in Vineville, and the affection he
bore for her was unreturned. In his
delirium last night he would call her
name and rave about her most trag
ically.
Poor fellow!
Mixed Grand Juries-! mpor
tant Decision by tiie Supreme
Court.
Washington, Jan. 29.—A decision
was rendered by the Supreme Court ol
the United States to-day in the case of
John Bush, plaintiff in error, vs the
commonwealth of _ v jyJjjglj
man for the murder of a white child.
Counsel for the prisoner in the Circuit
Court of Fayette county, Ivy., moved
to quash the indictment for the reason
that the grand jury which found it was
selected by virtue of a State law from
white citizens of the county exclusively,
in violation of the fourteenth amend
ment to the Federal Constitution. The
motion to quash was overruled, and
the ruling was sustained in the State
Court of Appeals. This court, how
ever, reverses the judgment of the lat
ter, and holds that the motion to quash
should have been granted, for the rea
son that the State had twice enacted
laws inconsistent with the fourteenth
amendment, and it must be presumed
that the officers to whom was commit
ted the selection of the jury in the ease
acted iu conformity with these uncon
stitutional State laws in discriminat
ing against colored persons. Opinion
by Mr. Justice Harlan. Justices Field,
Gray and the Chief Jnstioe dissenting.
Bright is the rosy blush of evening skies,
And bright the waves that ’neatlt the
moonbeams flow;
Bright are the beams from Beauty’s laugh

And bright the flowers that in the wood
land grow;
But brighter far the bloom of health to me,
On cheeks whose owners stick toll. H. P.
