Hillyer are spoken of as the most prominnct

The Shaw murder case, which has stirred
Baldwin county to its depths, will, it is stated,
produce some astounding disclosures of
crime. It will be remembered that the hus
band of the murdered woman was arrested
and charged with the murder. The deputy
marshal of Milledgeville, Mr. W. S.McComb,
recently received a well written letter, in
which he was informed that if he would search
a dry well near Shaw's liouse he would find
the remains of a negro, and that the bodies
of two other victims could be found in a
swamp near by. Search was made in the
well and the skeleton of a negro found. An
examination showed that the person had been
shot in the back, the ball lodging in the
breast bone. It is intimated that Shaw was
the lender of a gang of desperadoes, and that
the evidence which will be introduced upon
the witness stand will be of rather a start
ling character.
Pro. and Con.
For good and sufficient reasons—at lea3t
to the mind of the Manager—the Forest
Neics has not been made the special organ
of either side in the discussion of the Con
vention question. Our columns have been
open to an appropriate discussion of the sub
ject by the friends on either side whenever
their communications came within reasonable
bounds. It was intended, in this week’s
issue, to have given an analysis of the main
arguments both for and against a Conven
tion, but as one side of the question has been
ably presented, by gentlemen so well quali
fied for the duty, during the week, and as the
arguments in the affirmative will naturally
suggest to the minds of the hearers those of
a negative character, it is presumed to be
unnecessary to take up time or space with a
rehearsal of what has already been said.
But in conclusion, the liberty is taken to
give this advice :—Be sure to go to the polls
on the 12th, and vote. Whether for or
against a Convention, vote for what you hon
estly believe to be your own interest as a
citizen. Vote understandingly. Do not al
low an} r man to vote you. Don’t vote for so
and so, because your neighbor does. Vote
as a free man—according to the dictates of
your own conscience.
The Great “Unpleasantness” in the East.
RUMORS OF PEACE.
Telegrams of May 30th, from Bucharest,
say': —Rumors are current here in political
and diplomatic circles, respecting the possi
bility of arrangements (for peace) through
the mediation of Germany. The fact that
Prince Gortschakoff will accompany the Czar
(to the Danube) is asserted to be a pacific
symptom. The impression gains daily, that
Russia, more than ever, desires a speedy
solution to the present complications.
From London, June 2nd, the Times says,
“Little war news has reached us the past
few day’s. There arc vague reports of im
probable events. There are rumors, such as
continually arise during a war, of a disposi
tion to negotiate, but the campaign, in its
main features, is not marked by’ any incident.
The elements unite against the Russians.
A persistent deluge of rain presents greater
obstacles to their advance than the Turkish
armies. Rarely’ has war gone so slowly for
ward.” Rumors arc afloat that the Russians
will cross the Danube on the 7th inst., and
that 400,000 troops will be on the ground by
that time. Both parties seem to be in a bad
condition to carry on war, being deficient in
everything, except arms. The Russians
make little progress, and the Turks do not
seem to strengthen their position one particle.
June 7th. —The Czar and Czarwitch have
arrived at Bucharest. Their reception by’
the public was respectful, but not cordial.
The Danube is still too full for the Russians
to cross, and it is thought that some weeks
will yet elapse before the passage is attempt
ed. Rumors of peace 'are still circulated
and, it is said, that Russia’s conditions will
be the self-government of Bosnia, Ilerzgo
vinia, Bulgaria and the Christians of Leba
non ; a European commission of control;
European garrisons for some time, and the
cession of territory in Arminia. Servian
troops are in the field, and some fighting is
reported between them and the Turks.
ASIA MINOR.
The Turkish troops in the East are repre
sented as being in a deplorably bad condi
tion. All the reports of the recapture of
Ardahan by them are untrue and without
foundation. The Russian columns are-push
ing on towards Erzeroum, and Mouhktar
Pasha is still falling back before them. llis
position at Sevin has been rendered untenable
by the Russian centre havirrg*Teached Sog
haulu. Kars is now completely invested ;
two strong columns of the Russians are with
in six hours march of Erzeroum, and the
Turkish commander is falling back on Sain.
The weather is said to be fine, but no heavy
fighting is reported. The Turkish cavalry
under Moussau Pasha have been defeated
and dispersed, and the Russians captured
two mountain guns, lour ammunition wagons
and two standards. Russian loss, seven
killed and thirty wounded. Another dispatch
states that there of the Turkish
cavalry and only 200 escaped; Moussau
Pasha himself being among the missing. It
is reported that the Circassian cavalr}% un
der his command, fought desperately and that
no quarter was asked or given.
The above is thought to be an exaggeration,
though it is regarded by some as the most
terrible event of the present war. Turkish
affairs are said to be in a wretched condition ;
bribery and corruption are rampant; the
Sultan is regarded as a nonentity, perfectly
helpless, the strain on the Treasury is intense,
and the government almost tottering to its
fall; all contracts for stores, <fcc., are obtain
ed by bribery, the Constitution of the coun
try is a sham and disregarded in every pos
sible manner, and the Parliamentary Depu
ties are returning to their homes in disgust.
A recent telegram from Constantinople
says, “Austria demands that the restrictions
of the Danube navigation shall not he in
creased, nor last a day longer than the war.
The Porte and Russia have both given the
assurances required. This brings the news
down to the sth instant.
LATEST.
England demands that her passage to In
dia and her commerce shall not be endan
gered. No further news up to this date, June
7th. P. M. The corruption of officials in
Turkey and the tottering condition of her
government are more fulty exposed.

A communication has been received at this

Death of Judge Cincinnatus Peeples.
Judge Cincinnatus Peeples, of the Atlanta
Circuit Superior Courts, died in Atlanta, on
Friday night, of Bright’s disease of the kid
neys. His age was about fifty years. He
was an able jurist and a true Christian. He
was appointed Superior Court Judge by Gov.
Smith in 1876.
While the death of this exemplary man
will be regretted by the people all over the
whole State, in the Western Judicial Circuit,
where he spent so much of his life in former
days, and where he was so universally be
loved and respected, will the intelligence be
recived with almost unutterable sorrow and
sadness. An Atlanta correspondent of the
Savannah Neivs pays the following tribute to
his memory:—
The death of Judge Cincinnatus Peeples,
which occurred at ten o’clock last night, was
not unexpected in this community, as the de
ceased has been in feeble health for months
past, and unable to attend to his judicial du
ties. His associates of the Fulton bar meet
to-day to pay the usual honors to his memory
and arrange for the funeral.
Few men were more respected in this State
than Judge Peeples, whose many noble traits
of character had endeared him to all classes
of men with whom he had occasion to asso
ciate. He resided, at different periods, in
Gainsville. Forsy’the, Athens and Atlanta, in
all of which cities he has left “ works” that
will praise him within the “city gates” and
keep his memory green in grateful hearts.
Savannah should revere his memory for his
noble advocacy', while a Senator from Clarke
county, of measnres looking to the improve
ment of State institutions, and for his earn
est efforts in behalf of the completion of the
Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, running as it
does through a section of the State in which
he had never lived, and i whose prosperity
he could have had no .mere personal interest.
Despite his feeble health in late years, Judge
Peeples, dying ere lie bad reached the age of
fifty', has left behind a record full of indus
try and starred with noble acheivements for
his State and his race.
A large meeting of the members of the At
lanta bar was held in the Superior Court,
room of Fulton county', on the 2d inst., to
pay a last sad tribute to the memory of their
deceased brother and friend. At this meet
ing, the following touching letter, addressed
to Col. Milledgc. from Judge Jas. Jackson,
was received and read :
Atlanta, June 2, 1877.
John MUledge , Esq: It would afford me
melancholly satisfaction to be present at the
meeting of the Fniton bar to do honor to the
memory of Judge Peeples, but I am confined
at home by severe sickness, from which I am
just recovering, and it would be very impru
dent for me to venture out.
For thirty-seven years I have known him—
much of the time intimatelv—and during
those thirty-seven years I have known no bad
thing about him. I was one of his grooms
men when ho married, and it would be fit that
he who followed him to his joy’ous nuptials in
young manhood should follow his hearse a
mourner to the grave.
One by one my friends and companions
of the old western circuit have dropped into
the grave. Judge Junius llillyer and Uol.
Bam Freeman, nDw of Newnan ; John jVV. 11.
Underwood, of Rome, and Wm. Hope Hull,
of Angustn, are all I believe, of the old stock
who remain. Mr. Sam Thurmond, of Ath
ens. came in a little later. Thank God, I be
lieve that the most of them were ready when
the Master called. lam sure -that Judge
Peeples was, but I am too weak to write
more. My tears are with the weeping wid
ow, my heart will ever beat for the children
of my friend. May the great Husband of
the widow and the Father of the fatherless
soothe the sorrows and supply the wants of
the bereaved family.
Respectfully yours, James Jackson.
Columbus Times gives the follow
ing sequel to the Chambliss murder, which
wc published in this column a few day's ago.
The capture of three negroes spedily follow
ed the murder: “Many of the enraged
crowd, especially the negroes, were for burn
ing them—but a vote was taken, and the ma
jority decided to hang them. A gallows was
erected by placing a piece of timber horizon
tally on four forked sticks, two at each end
(what is known in the country as a hog gal
lows), in front of the house ; and as the sun
was sinking behind the western hills they
were swung up—one at a time. Stephen
Abram was first suspended, but the rope
broke, letting him fall heavily upon his face.
He got up, remarking, ‘Dog-gone such a rope !
git some'm stronger.’ A trace chain was
soon procured, and he was again raised, this
time hanging until dead. With the rope
around his neck, he still repeated his story.
Jerry Snead was next hung and then William
Boothe, both of whom denied to the last any
knowledge of the deed. As they werty pro
nounced dead, the bodies were taken down
and thrown over the fence into a field, where
they lay until Saturday night, when some ne
groes were prevailed on to bury them. They
were all placed in one grave, near the Lump
kin road. The murderers were all full blood- 1
ed negroes from twenty to twenty-five years
of age, without families.
A Solemn Warning.
Austin Humphreys, who was hanged near
Detroit last week, for the murder of a dilato
ry debtor, made an impressive speech from
the scaffold. Facing death with courage, but
without bravado, the condemned man spoke
this touching farewell: “My dear friends,
I am now on the scaffold to pay the last pen
alty of the law, and I bless God that he has
seen fit to pardon me and wash awaj r my sins.
I feel that my sentence is just, and I want to
warn you all, my dear friends, never to touch
the intoxicating cup. It was all through li
quor that I came here. Oh, my friends, as
yon value your own souls, leave that cup
alone. It has done more harm than all things
put together, and has been the ruin of thou
sands, as it has been of me. May God have
mercy on me and give me grace.” Probably
no one then witjiin the sound of his voice will
ever forget these words

Reform in the Conduct of Funerals.
Eleven prominent ministers of the Gospel,
in Savannah* have addressed the public,
through the Nem,xm this subject; and while
perhaps, the matter may appear, at first
glance, of very little or no importance to those
of us who live in the " backwoods” and “ pro*
vincial” towns, yet, for the “ moral effect”
and the good suggestions contained, we are
induced to extract a paragraph or two from
this most opportune address. After alluding
to the (too often) extravagant expenditures
in connection with the burial of the dead, they
say:—
Customs prevail which entail upon'families
in moderate circumstances debts which harass
them for years, and lead, in many cases, to
intolerable burdens. The facts are so well
known that we do not feel it incumbent upon
us to enter into any detailed statement of
them. The circumstances of funeral occa
sions are such that the nearest relatives are
deprived of all power to judge with calmness
or control expenditures with prudence. Of
ten they satisfy themselves with giving the
matter into the hands of others, with the sin
gle request that such a burial is to be given
as custom demands. It needs, therefore,
that custom be wisely regulated. * * *
Allow us to bring to your attention one other
desirable change. It often occurs that the
fond desire of friends to obtain the latest
possible sight of their dead prevents the per
manent fastening of the coffin lid until after
the close of the religious service, when a space
is given for those who may wish to approach
the corpse for a last look. For two reasons
we recommend the abolition of this practice :
First, medical science opens to us numberless
dangers as attendant upon the presence of
exposed dead bodies in crowded rooms.
Secondly, our own hearts indicate to us that
the preferable time for this last look is before
the assembling of the people who wait upon
the funeral service. We would affectionately
suggest, therefore, that in all cases the coffin
be closed before the service, and that the body
be not detained for what often becomes not
only a trying but dangerous tax upon the
already overstrained nerves of sorrowing
families.

Church Items.
The ‘‘hardshell” Baptists are the only re
ligious sect who turn a man out of the church
for not paying his debts when he is able to
do so. This is a peculiar honor to them.
It is not an uncommon thing to hear a
preacher attack fashion, and denounce it as
the work of the devil, while he is arrayed in
a magnificent suit of the most stylish cut.
two pairs of kid gloves in his pocket, and
gorgeous studs glittering in his immaculate
shirt front just under his dainty satin tie.
There are twenty-seven white churches in
Atlanta, and it is estimated that over eight
thousand people attend them every Sunday.
There are about ten colored churches and
they are full every Sabbath.
In two or three of the negro churches of
Atlanta there are five choirs and good organs.
The singing is under the leadership of a
skilled musician, and is really interesting.—

XD-A/'ST’S AGUE TONIC
GIVEN AWAY
To all persons who have Chills and fail to be cur
ed. It is not often during these hard times, that
we ever hear of anything being given away, hut
in the present case we have an article that will
bear the closest scrutiny, and setercst test in every
sense of the word, and feel determined to place 'i
before the public in such a manner that there
cannot be a “ doubting Thomas.”
To all who may be afflicted with any form of
Ague, or chills and Fever, we make;the proposi
tion
To all Persons
To cure you with one bottle of Day’s Ague Tonic.
It never produces partial deafness, dimness of
vision, buzzing or roaring in the head, or any of
those unpleasant symptoms that follow the use of
Quinine, it does not contain arsenic, strychnine or
any other poison; it acts finely upon the liver
and bowels without the use of nauseating puls ;
it can be given to those whose stomachs reject
Quinine, and the cures are prompt, effectual and
permanent.
Procure from any Druggist or Merchant, one
bottle of Day’s Ague Tonic, use as directed, and
if it fails, return the empty bottle, and the money
will be refunded to all
Who have Chills.
This is surely a fair proposition, yet strange to
say, none have been returned to us. Druggists
and merchants say it gives more complete satis
faction, and sells more readily than any chill rem
edy they ever sold.
Sold by Druggists and Merchants generally, at
one Dollar per bottle. sep 2 1876. ly__
