The filibusters who furnished the
Haytian Rebels with arms and ammu
nition on the Steamer Tropic, are now
on trial in New York. The penalty
for the offence is S3OOO fine and three
years imprisonment.
They may taunt us with Southern
lack of culture, lawlessness, and all
that; hut in all the South a community
cannot be found in which one hundred
white women, or one-tenth that num
ber. ever did or would now take the
lead in a riot and fire pistols at the au
thorities who were trying to maintain
law and order. That is a higher civil
ization” which we have not attained,
and do not aspire to.
The salary of Henry Ward Beecher
is $"20,000 per annum. Deduct three
months vacation and there remain thir
ty-nine weeks of actual service. For
each Sunday his compensation is $522.
He preaches morning and evening and
for each sermon he receives $250. Sup
posing his sermons to average one hour
in the delivery, he is paid for each
minute, $4.25. His words are golden
in more senses than one, but his ac
tions will not stand acid.
We copy from the Macon Telegraph
a report of the arrest of a negro who
confesses that he was concerned in the
murder of old Mr. Defoor and his wife,
at the Chattahoochee ferry near At
lanta, about four years ogo. The Con
stitution gives an account of an inter
view with Tom Scavener, one of the
men whom Johnson names as an ac
complice, in which Scavener denied
any knowledge of the murder, but
stated that he lived at the time of its
commission within one mile of the
place, and was arrested on suspicion
the day after the murder, but released
for lack of proof. He was arrested the
other day in the same locality. He
also stated that John Brown, the other
negro accused by Johnson, lived on the
same place with him at the time of the
murder. Johnson’s arrest, it is said,
was brought about by his talking in
his sleep, which was overheard by a
woman with whom he was living, and
she mentioned it to others. When the
officers heard of it they arrested him,
and to them he made a full confession.
Johnson says that he held the light,
Scavener used the ax, and Brown kept
guard.
The many destructive tornadoes that
have taken place lately and the wet
weather we are having, calls to mind
the dire prophecy made about tour or
five years ago by C. A. Grimmer, of
Kingston, Jamaica. Mr. Grimmer
professed to be an astrologist, ami to
base his predictions upon the position
of the four great planets, whose conjunc
tion 1880 would produce “one univer
sal carnival of death” from 1880 to
1887 During this period the elements
are to play high jinks; things are to be
turned upside down generally, by earth
quakes and frightful storms, which
will convert the whole world into a uni
versal Sodom and Gomorrah. Fam
ines, plagues, inundiations, wars of
mutual extermination, and other un
pleasantnesses will conspire to exter
minate much of animal and human
life, until August, 1887, when the
Star of Bethlehem will arise, and things
be worse than ever. “After that,” the
precise time being unhappily not sta
ted, good times will come again, and
whoever is lucky' enough to remain
alive, will live twice as long as he ev
er did, “owing to the healthy electrici
ty or magnetism that will surround the
globe.” If the rest of the seven years
prove to be of the same pattern as the
portion that has past, those living will
be able to look back with reasonable
satisfaction upon the direful prophecy
of Mr. Grimmer.

THOUGHTS ON THE CH.IIN GANG.
ITS ORIGIN AND DEMORALIZING EFFECTS
UPON SOCIETY.
A thought, like the rough ashler, is
without value until it is put in form,
polished and placed in the temple of
truth.
J. B. w T as true to the Confederacy.
He held on to State sovereignty and
negro slavery until the last gun was
fired and the proclamation of Lincoln
was published. The ruling passion
however triumphed, in the dgath strug
gle for power and dominion. State
sovereignty and the negro slave were
gone, but love of power is ever watch
ful for opportunities, and J. B. was no
exception to the general rule, and like
that marsupial quadruped noted for its
prehensile peculiarity, grasps with its
tail the coveted object, when the claws
and teeth lose their hold. So J. 8.,
true to instinct, just reached out the
prehensile appendage, and then with
the contracting power of an anaconda,
drew it around the necks oi the con
victs, and by local legislation holds
both the freedmen and the Anglo-Saxon
in eternal servitude; and while this
representative man and Christian holds
the chain in one hand, the other trans
fers the fruits of their labor into his
own pocket.
Such was the origin of the chain
gang law, which now stands as a foul
blot upon the records of the State and
a stench in the nostrils of society; and
now we are notified that an effort will
be made to extend its operation through
the county of Sumter, to be used as an
instrument of torture and disgrace by
our County Commissioners. While I
do not call in question the motive of
the author of this move, 1 do feel that
I have the perfect right to criticise the
proposed action, and expose the demor
alizing tendency of the operation of the
law.
A law to be constitutional and just
must be general in itsoperation. There
can be no class legislation. A law
that forges a chain to bind the freed
man makes one for the white man and
it is well to add that a chain that is
forged to bind the ankles of a freedwo
mau must be long enough to encircle
those ot an Anglo Saxon belle. It fol
lows then that we have received an offi
cial and a legal notice that an effort
will be made to pass a local law vest
ing onr County Commissioners with
power to bind the wives, sons, and
daughters of Sumter in the degrading
manacles of the convict, and by com
pulsory measures make them work the
roads under an overseer. This is plain
talk but it is the spirit and intent of
the move. My attention is called to
the fact that the word is convicts and
not law abiding citizens. Iso under
stand it and I can only say that where
the tendency is to extreme poverty, for
the one class and wealth for the other
and where dens of vice, infamy are found
in every corner and where every avenue
is opened to crime and dissipation by
the laws of the country, none have a
guarantee that no member of the family
will be found in the lower depths and
made to submit to be chained. They
may not be your sons or your daugh
ters but they will be some mothers
children whose heart will swell and
throb with anguish when she hears the
clanking of the chains that bind them.
Will the representatives of Sumter
forge the chain? or will our commis
sioners bind them upon the prodigal
son or fallen daughter of a Christian
mother? Their well known character
gives us the assurance that they will
not. We know that their better judg
ment will triumph. This brings us
to a consideration of the demoralizing
tendency of the operation of the law in
question.
A law that leaves it optional with
the convict whether he be bound in
chains or pay a ransom in money is
class legislation, and leads to crime for
the rich may pay the money and re
peat the offence. The poor accepts
iiis bonds, curses society and makes a
rave of revenge. I write from a knowl
edge of human nature and the after
lile of all convicts as history records it.
In administration of the law in ques
tion, the general rule is to make the
court a paying institution. A is
charged with stealing a coat from B,
the indictment is sustained and the ac
cused is sentenced to three months in
the chain gang or the payment of thirty
dollars to B, with cost of suit. The
money is paid over, and the convict
tries liis hand for higher game. The
thief has lost nothing. It is a legal
exchange by the consent of, and a de
cree o! the court, if however we fail
to sustain the charge it becomes a clear
profit for the thief gets the coat while
Bis minus the money. This we call
law, and equity, and tax the people to
pay the acto v s in this demoralizing
farce.
A criminal law, the penalty for the
violation of which may be committed
for money panders to the service ot
officials and is beneath the dignity of
the lowest order of intelligence, and
should be repealed or amended.
In this connection allow me to ask,
is the sale of an indulgence, by the
Pope to steal a coat, worse than the
commotion of the penalty for money?
The one receives the money for the
right to steal before the act, the other
after. If the Pope goes to hell for
selling the indulgence, then the Judge
as is suggested by Josephus in his
article on hades may go near enough to
peep over the gulf and “hear the noise
and smell the stench thereof.” If ad
missible I have some what to say to
the voters of Sumter.

AFTER FOUR YEARS.
THE MURDERERS OF THE DEFOOR FAMILY,
KILLED NEAR ATLANTA,ARE CAPTURED.
Macon 'igglegraph, Ist.
Many of our readers will remember
the terriole murder of an old couple
named Defoor, living six miles from
Atlanta, Ga., which occurred nearly
four years ago. The entire police and
detective force set to work on the case
and used every effort to bring the per
petrators of the fearful crime to justice.
Governor Colquitt offered a heavy re
ward, and so did the relatives of the
aged couple. Several arrests were
made, and one, a negro named Asa
Gunn, was kept in jail for a long time
and tried for the crime. He was con
victed on the first trial but appealed
for anew trial and was acquitted.
Some time ago Captain John Hur
ley, ever on the lookout, came across
what would appear to anyone but a de
tective an insignificant clue. Nursing
it tenderly and quietly, he set to work,
and in a week had a negro man located
whom he had the strongest suspicion
of being a party to the case. Working
it up quietly, he invoked the services
of Lieteuant W. A. Wylie, of the
police force, and the two made the case
stronger. On Monday night the Lieu
tenant and officer McCafferty arrested
Joe Johnson, a negro man, living near
the cemetery, and he was placed in
prison.
Colonel Wiley, chief ot police, was
then called in, and these three officers
soon became convinced that the man
was a partner in the murder, On
Tuesday afternoon Joe freely and cool
ly made a confession, in which he told
the history of the murder, even in the
minutest details. He was one of the
three who made their w r ay into the
house at the dead hour of night and
cut the throats of the two old people
by the light of a burning match, for
the purpose of robbing.
Captain Hurley and Lieutenant
Wylie left on Wednesday morning for
Atlanta. On that afternoon, with de
tective Bill Jones, they arrested Scave
ner while plowing in a field not a great
distance from the scene of the murder.
The officers got their information as to
the whereabouts of the other man, and
left Atlanta yesterday afternoon for the
purpose of capturing him.
Seaverner was arrested] once before
on the charge, hut nothing was proven
against him, and he was set at liberty.
Last night detective Jones arrived
in Macon with a warrant, and this
morning carried Joe Johnson to At
lanta to confront his accomplices.
Joe has been living in Macon about
two years, and has made a kind of liv
ing by chopping wood and doing odd
jobs. His last employment was at
rock masonry.
Southern Cultivator for June.
This standard agricultural journal
for June is on our table. It affords us
much pleasure to note the improvement
in this periodical since it came into the
hands of the present publishers, and
especially to note the continued im
provement, for each number really
seems to surpass the others.
It is creditable to our Southern farm
ers that they are sustaining their jour
nal (for it is emphatically theirs) so
handsomely. And they will doubtless
find that the more liberal they are in
their patronage, the more richly the
paper will deserve their support.
This number has Doctor Jones’
“Thoughts for the Month,” full of
suggestions for the cultivator of the
crops now growing. We give a few of
the leading articles, omitting, of course,
the greater number: “Amber Cane
Sorghum,” “Shipping Vegetables,”
“Good Roads,” “Laws for the Farmer,”
Bill Arp’s letter, full as usual of rich
humor and fine common sense, the
third installment of “Dickson’s Sys
tem of Farming,” ft contribution to
the political history of Georgia (with
fine portraits of Gov. McDaniel, and
the late Senator Hill), Grange Grove
Talk, with a full page illustration of
the culture and shipment of the fruit in
the State of Florida, and many other
articles of much interest and very great
importance. All the departments,
“Cattle,” “Poultry,” “Fish,” “Apia
ry,” “Health,” etc., have received
careful attention.
This number has an interesting con
tribution on the life and death of John
Howard Payne, author of Home, Sweet
Home, accompanied by his portrait.
One of the most interesting articles
of this number is a comparative state
ment of the cotton crop for the past
thirteen years, showing the amount of
money received for it an 1 what became
of it.
There are several pages of the “In
quiry Department” and “Letters from
the Farmers,” abounding in sugges
tions, arid vastly instructive.
We can hut advise every fanner not
a subscriber to send $1.50 to Jas. P.
Harrison its Cos., Atlanta, Ga., for this
valuable publication.
If everybody would tell everybody
just what they really thought ofevery
body, everybody would think but little
of everybody.

He Turned Up.
A correspondent of the Dundee Even
ing Telegraph tells the following ex
traordinary story:
A gentleman, whose name, for obvi
ous reasons, must remain a secret, res
ident with his wife in a large town in
the North of England, and employed
by a firm having business connections
with Scotland, had been sent on a tour
through Scotland in December, 1879.
Like a faithful husband, he made his
wife aware of his movements, and while
in the Scotch metropolis, about Christ
mas, he wrote telling her when she
might expect him home. In his letter
he mentioned that, to get finished with
his business and return to England as
speedily as possible, he intended to
make the most of the remaining days
of the year, and had arranged to go to
Dundee via the Tay bridge, on the
evening of Sunday, the 28th of Decem
ber.
When the announcement was made
in the newspapers on the moring of the
29th that the bridge had fallen, carry
ing with it an express train and many
passengers, it did not escape the eye of
this gentleman’s wife, who naturally
feared that her husband was one of the
victims. In this impression she was
confirmed by the . act that she received
no letters from him and conld find no
trace of him in places where his where
abouts were likely to be known. Has
tening to Dundee, she was an anxious
spectator for several days of the opera
tions for the recovery of the bodies of
the missing passengers. Ultimately
she returned home, and the firm for
whom her husband had been collecting
accounts gave up the money as lost.
As nothing further could be done, mat
ters were allowed to rest till the body
of the supposed victim was found; but
as time wore on the prospect ef its re
covery became less and less, and all in
terested persons reluctantly became
resigned to their fate.
Some time afterwa and a gentleman
who knew the “missing passenger”
well happened to be in London on bus
iness, and while entering a tramway
car one day he was surprised to see his
“deceased” friend snugly ensconced in
a corner of the vehicle. Explanations
were asked, hut were not forthcoming,
and all who had previously manifested
an interest in this person’s fate were
made aware of the discovery, with the
result that liis new home was quickly
found out.
From inquiries made, it appeared
that he had not gone as he had intend
ed with the train which went down
with the Tay bridge, but that after the
fall of the structure, knowing his
friends would believe he was drowned,
he went to London, where he squander
ed his employers’ money, married a
young woman, and was enjoying his
temporary seclusion when by accident
he was feund out. He afterward ap
peared before a criminal court, and for
embezzlement was sentenced to undergo
twelve months’ imprisonment with
hard labor.
Our friend Rev. J. W. Burke, of
Wesleyan Christian Advocate, is
Vice-President of the Georgia Press
Association, and attended its meeting
on the 9th inst., at Athens, and was
delighted with the excursion to Talu
lah Falls. He says: “After doing up
the Falls, we had a splendid lunch
spread, which fed the large crowd beau
tifully. Then the boys had a little
fun, but on the whole, behaved them
selves very well. If we had had the
direction of things we conld have im
proved them some what, we think, but
nevertheless it might have been worse.”
We were not there, and now we ask
Brother Triplett or some other one of
“the boys” to tell ns what Brother
Burke means by “a little fun.” We
pause for a reply, and guess will have
to pause a long time.— Camilla Clar

This is especially true of a family medicine,
and it is positive proof that the remedy imi
tated is of the highest value. As soon as
it had been tested and proved by the whole
world that Hop Bitters was the purest, best
and most valuable family medicine on earth
many imitations sprung up and began to
steal the notices in which the press and
people of the country had expressed the
merits of 11. 8., and in every way trying to
induce suffering invalids to use their stuff
instead, expecting to make money on tlm
credit and good name of H. B. Many others
started nostrums put up in similar style 13
H. 8., with variously devised names in
which the word “Hop” or “Hops” were
used in a way to induce people to believe
they were the same as Hop Bitters. All
such pretended remedies or cures, no mat
ter what their style or namo is, and especi
ally those with the word “Hop” or “Hops”
in their name or in any way connected
with them or their name, are imitations or
counterfeits, Beware of them. Touch
none of them. Use nothing hut genuine
Hop Bitters, witli a bunch or cluster of

against dealing in imitations or counterfeits.

AYER’S PILLS.
A large proportion of tlie diseases which

ment of the stomach, bowels, and liver.
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills act directly upon
these organs, and are especially designed to
cure the diseases caused by their derange
ment, including Constipation, Indiges
tion, Dyspepsia, Headache, Dysentery,
and a host of other ailments, for all of
which they are a safe, sure, prompt, and
pleasant remedy. The extensive use of these
Pills by eminent physicians in regulftr prac
tice, shows unmistakably the estimation in
which they are held by the medical profes
sion.
These Pills aro compounded of vegetable
substances only, and are absolutely free from
calomel or any other injurious ingredient.
A Sufferer from Headache writes :
“Ayer’s Pills are invaluable to me, and
are my constant companion. 1 have been
a severe sufferer from Headache, ami your
Pills aro the only thing I could look to
for relief. One dose will quickly move my
bowels and free my head from pain. They
are the most effective and the easiest physic
1 have ever found. It is a pleasure to me to
speak in their praise, and 1 always do so
when occasion offers.
W. L. Page, of W. L. Page & Bro.”
Franklin St., Richmond,Ya., June 3, 1882.
“I have'used Ayer’s Pills in number
less instances us recommended by you, and
have never known them to fail to accomplish
the desired result. We constantly keep them
on hand at our home, and prize them as a
pleasant, safe, and reliable family medicine.
FOR DYSPEPSIA thev are invaluable.
J. T. Hayes.”
Alexia, Texas, June 17,1882.
• The Rev. Francis B. Harlowe, writing
from Atlanta, da., says: “ For some years
past 1 have been subject to constipation,
from which, in spito of the use of medi
cines of various kinds, 1 suffered increasing
inconvenience, until some months ago I
began taking Ayer’s Pills. They have
entirely corrected the costive habit, and
have vastly improved my geiferal health.”
Ayer’s Cathartic Pills correct irregu
larities of the bowels, stimulate the appe
tite and digestion, and by tlieir prompt and
thorough action give tone and vigor to the
whole physical economy.
