seen some home-made cigars from

from the manner of curing, and
some dtgree to the manufacture,
which must be exceedingly rough.

Atlanta Constitution : Yesterday

called Dummy, and killed him in

was walking in front of the engine
“The City of Augusta.” When he

that the deceased “came to his death
by a gunshot wound in the back of
his head, inflicted by a gun or pish 1
in the hands of some white person

Louis 11. Libberman, Charles Scott

for trial.” Buckner, Libberman and
Scott were committed to jail, bin
Jones is still at large.
The Savannah News has the fol
lowing: Yesterday morning a man
who was under the influence of
I quor, in the southwestern part of
the city, took a notion that he would
whip his old mother, and went at it,
when she called for help, and one or
two parties ran to her assistance and
found the so* holding the
mother by ttie hair of the head. He
was taken by these parties and tied
with a clothes line and left to sober
off. After he sobered he proceeded
to a magi.-trate’s office and sued out a
warrant ag.cinst one of the party who
saved him perhaps from killing his
aged mother. When the arrest was
made the justice discharged the pris
oner.
THE ATTORNEY Gl^t-ItAL.
Taft Issues His Circular to U. S. Marshals.
Washington, Sept. 4. —The fol
lowing are the instructions from the
Attorney General to the United
States Marshals regarding thecoming
elections. A copy will be sent to
each United States Marshal through
out the country •
“Sir—The lawsof the United States
having made it my duty to exercise
general direction over the Marshals
as to the manner of discharging their
offices, 1 have prepared for their use
this circular letter of instruction as to
the coming elections, intending the
same also as a reply to all the numer
ous applications in like connection
from private citizens in various
States. In the present condition of
legislation, the United States occupy
a position towards the voters and
voting which varies accordiug to the
election is for State and other local
officers only, or for members of Con
gress and Presidential electors. In
the elections at which members of
the House of Representatives are
chosen, which by law include elec
tions at which electors for President
and Vice President are appointed the
United States secure voters against
whatever in general hinders or pre
vents them from a full exercise of the
elective franchise, extending that
care alike to the registration list, the
act of voting and the personal free
dom and security of the voters, as
well as-against violence on account
of the vote he may intend to give
as against conspiracy because of any
he may already have eriven. The
peace of the United States, therefore,
which you are to preserve and whose
violation you are to suppress, pro
tects, among others, the rights speci
fied in tho last paragraph, and any
person, who by force violates these
rights, breaks that peace and vend
ers it your duty to arrest him and to
surpress any riots incident thereto,
or that threaten the integrity of regis
tration or election to the end that
the wil'. of the people in such elec
tion may be ascertained and take
effect, and that offenders may be
brought before the courts for punish
ment.
PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.
Notorious events in several States
which recently and in an unusual
manner have been publicly probated
render it the grave duty of all mar
shals who have cause to apprehend
the violation of the peace of the Uni
ted States, connected as above with
the elections tone held upon Tues
day after the first Monday in Novem
ber next, to be prepared to preserve
and restore such peace. As chief ex
ecutive officer of the United States
in jour district you will he held re
sponsible for all breaches of the peace
of the Utifted States which diligence
on your part might have prevented,
and for the arrest and securing of all
persons who violate that peace in
any of the above points enumerated.
Diligence in these matters require, of
course, that you be and continue
present in person or by deputy at all
places of registration or election, at
which you have reason to suspect
that a breach of peace is threatened
and that whenever an embodiment
of the posse comitatus is required to
enforce the law, such embodiment be
present.
SPECIAL DUTIES.
You will observe that the special
duties mentioned in section 2,201 of
the revised statutes have peculiar
duties assigned them, duties which
otherwise do not belong to deputy
marshals. Such special duties can
be appointed only in cities of 20,000
inhabitants or upward. But the du
ties assigned to marshals and their
deputies by section 2,022 or other
like statutes, belong to all duly ap
pointed deputies, whether they be
general or special, within the mean
ing of that and tire- preceeding
section,
UNLIMITED IN NUMBER.-
Deputies to discharge this latter
class ol duties may be appointed to
any number whatever, according to
the discretion of the marshal in all
States in which Sheriffs have simi
lar power. Section 2,030 has no prac
tical bearing upon this point in States
whero no limit is imposed on the ap
pointment of deputies by sheriffs, be
cause in such States the laws of the
United States prior to June 18, 1872
left marshals also unlimited as to the
number of their duputies. In dis
charging the duties above mention
ed, you will doubtless receive the
countenance and support of all good
citizens of the United States in your
respective districts. It is not necess
ary to say that it is upon such coun
tenance and support that the United
States mainly rely in their endeavor
to force the right to vote, which they
have given or have secured. The
present instructions are intended
only to counteract that partial mal
wrong headed ness or inconsideration
which sometimes triumphs at criti
cal moments over the conservative
and general prevailing forces of soci
ety, and to which the present and
passing condition of the country
gives more than ordinary strength
and, therefore, requires the Govern
ment to particularly observe and
provide against.
MORE POWER.
In this connection I woould advise
that you and each of your deputies,
general and special, have a right to
summon to your assistance in pre
venting and quelling disorder every
person in the district above 15 years
of age, whatever may be their occu
pation whether civilians or not, and
including the military of all denomi
nations, militia, soldiers and marines,
all of which are alike bound to obey
you. The fact that they are orgati
ed as military bodies, whether of
State or the Unites States under the
immediate command of their own
officers does not in any wise affect
their legal character. They are still
posse comitatus. I prefer to quote
the above statement of the law .upon
1 this point from gu opinion by my
predecessor, ex-Att >rney General
Gushing, because it thus appears to
have been well suited for many years
See opinion 4GG, May 37.1853,
DISREGARD STATE AUTHORITY.
I need hardly add that there can
be no State law or State official in
this eouutry who has jurisdiction to
oppose you in discharging your of
ficial duties, under the laws of the
United States. If such interference
shall take place, a thing not antici
pated, you are to disregard it entire
ly. The lawsof the United States
are supreme, and so, consequently,
is ihe action of the officials of tiie
United States in enforcing them.
There is,as virtually you have already
been told, no officer of a State whom
you may not, by summons, embody
into your own posse, and any State
posse al ready embodi and by a sheriff, be
obliged, upon your summons, to be
come part of the United States posse
and obey you and your deputy, act
ing virtu/e officio.
TIIE KESROXSI HI LIT Y
which dev< Ives upon an officer
clothed with such powers, and re
quired to guard to the highest right
of citizens, corresponds in degree
with those powers and rights, and
exacts of such officer consideratin g
intelligence and courage. It is prop
er to ad vise you that in preparing
this circular I have considered tiie
ncent important judgments given
by the Supreme Courts of the Uni-
States upon the acts of Congress
which regulates this general topic.
1 have founded the above instruc
tions upon those acts as are affected
by such judgments. 1 need in this
place add no more than tliat these
judgments do not concern Federal
elections. You will lind appended
in full by reference, such statutory
provisions as it seems important that
you and your deputies shall in this
connection read and consider. In
matters of doubt you are of course
entitled to the advice of the United
States Attorney for your district.
These instructions have been sub
mitted to the President and have his
approval. Very respectfully your
obedient servant,
Alpiionso Taft.
Attorney General.
A WAR CONFERENCE.
There was a lengthy conference at
the War Department, this morning,
previous to issuina the order of the
United State Marshals in
regard to the approaching elections.
It was attended by Secretaries, Cam
eron, Roberson and Candler; Attor
ney General Taft, Gen. Sherman,
Gov. Chamberlain and Senator Pat
terson of South Carolina. The ob
ject of the meeting was to take pre
paratory steps to carry out the order
in case of necessity and have a full
understanding as to the military giv
ing aid to the United States Mar
shals. After a very f ree exchange
of views upon the subject, during
which Governor Chamberlain and
Senator Patterson urged the necessi
ty of military protection in the South
the members of the. cabinet expres
ed their opinions at length, and also
the desires of the President upon
that topic, it was decided that a
copy of the circular letter of instruc
tions of the Attorney General be re
ferred to Gen. Sherman for his infor
mation and guidance. The Secretary
of War is in strong accord with the
Attorney General for the enforcement
of the instructions. Gen. Sherman
leaves Saturday for Harrisburg,
where he will be joined by Secretary
Cameron, and they will then start
for a tour of inspection in the West.
DR. W. H. I'ELTON.
His Circular to tlio Voters of tlxe Seventh
District.
7 o the Voters of the Seventh Congres
sional District:
Fellow-Citizens— l hereby an
nounce myself a candidate to repre
resent you in the Forty-fifth Con
gress.
I recognize the supreme authority
of the people in shaping and deter
mining all political issues.
I appeal directly to the people and
ask them to say at the ballot-box
whether they approve or condemn
my course in the first session of the
Forty-fourth Congress.
My record is before tlie people of
the district, and I can only say that
the votes I have given and the posi
tions I have advocated are the expo
nents of my principles, and shall be
the directory of my future political
acts.
I have never forgotten that I was
the representative of the people , and
upon all questions of reform , retrench
ment and economy which have en
gaged the attention of the present
Congress, I have steadily supported
the interest of the tax-payers and the
industrial classes.
Knowing that an increaseof wealth
—the opening of new avenues of
trade and the revival of business ware
matters of more importance to us
than the political abstractions of the
past, I have constantly labored to
promote the material interest and
prosperity of our district and our
State.
If re-elected, I shall continue these
efforts in behalf of our district until
our lands and mineral resources, our
rivers and our commerce, our manu
factures, our agriculture and all our
rich endowments are placed on an
equal footing with similar endow
ments of other States of the Union.
Our candidates for the Presidency,
Messrs. Tilden and Hendricks, must,
if elected, be supported by a Con
gress pledged to reform and econo
my. My record for nearly nine
months in Congress is the guarantee
of fidelity to the platform and co
operation with the candidates of the
Democratic party.
I have attended to all the business
of the district. My seat was never
vacant except from illness, then only
for the briefest interval.
I represented to the best of my
ability every business interest of the
people, and will, if re-elected, con
tinue to labor for the glory of our
country and the happiness and pros
perity of Georgia.
Respectfully, yours,
W. 11. Felton.
Gov. Seymour’s persistent refusal
to accept the nomination for Gover
nor of New York, so cordially ten
dered him by the Syracuse Conven
tion, is the cause of considerable em
barrassment to the Democracy of
that State. It has been proposed
that the State Executive Committee
might fill the vacancy on the ticket,
but Judge Gray, who was permanent
chairman of ti e convention, tele
graphs to the Secretary of the State
Committee to say to his associates
that the committee should not name
the candidate for Governor, but
should either recall the convention or
call anew one. In this, he says, the
Democracy are united.
Before Mr. Tilden was nominated
for the Presidency, the New York
Times and other Republican pauers
declared that he was an honest and
honorable man, worthy of support
by the neople— a true reformer and
opponent of the plunders. Now
that he is a candidate for the Presi
dency, these papers call him a perjur
er and a bad man generally. This
does not hurt Mr. Tilden so much as
it does those who so shamelessly ut
ter the libels.

SAVANNAH, GA.
npHE political campaign of IST6, which ln
-1 chides National, State and County elec
tions, and which undoubtedly will be the most
active and hotly contested of anv since the
memorable canvass of rtSO, is now fairlv
opened. Tho National Democratic Party will
tlua year make a bold, vigorous, and doubtless
siMevglul struggle for the maintenance and
supremacy ol those principles which are vital
to the prosperity of the public, and essential
to the well-being of the people.
In addition to the Presidential election, the
people ip Georgia and Florida will elect new
State Governments. In Florida the campaign
promises to be unusually vigorous, and there
is a probability that for the first time since the
war, the people of that Radical.ridden state
will elect a Democratic State Government. In
these campaigns thp people are deeply inter
ested; and every intelligent citizen, %/bo lias
the welfare ot his country and his section at
heart, should acquaint himself with every de
tail of redemption and leform that U now going
on.
To this end lie should subscribe to and assist
in circulating the *vansli Morning News,
an independent Democratic newspaper, of
pronounced opinions and tearless in their ex
pression; a paper that is recognized every
where as the best daily in tlio South. Its edi
torial department Is vigorous, thoughtful and
consistent, while its news and local depart
ments are marvels of industry and complete
ness. Its department of Georgia and Florida
affairs is not confined to a mere barren sum
mary of events transpiring in those States, but
is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely
and racy.
The ample resources of the establishment
will be devoted to furnishing the rc aders of the
MORNING NEWS
with the latest intelligence from all parts of
the world, through the press dispatches, spe
cial dispatches, special correspondence; and
through these agencies, the paper will be tbe
earliest chronicler of every noteworthy inci
dent of the political campaign of 1576.
