How Macon Treated Colquitl-
The Macon Telegraph contains the follow
ing account of the treatment of Gov. Colquitt
in the joint discussion at Macon. We submit
it without comment:
“This confusion continued for several
minutes, when Capt. A. O. Bacon advanced
again and introduced Governor A. 11. Col
quitt.
“Thereupon occurrod one of the most re
markable scenes ever witnessed probably in
the State. For two hours the man stood
before the people, speaking amid u storm of
cheers, hisses, groans, cries, cat calls, jeers
and insults. Eloquence was powerless before
it. and the presence of the most substantial
and dignified citizens of Macon had little
effect. A dozen times the speaker was forced
to stop entirely, and several times Colonel
Whittle, Captain A. O. Bacon and others
sought to calm the people in vain. It was
only when Colquitt’s time dwindled down to
thirty minutes that he secured a comparatively
quiet interval.
“It was the most disgraceful scene ever
witnessed in this city, but let it he said to the
credit of the greater portion of the crowd,
that when called upon to indorse or condemn
the confusion, there arose a shout of con
demnation that for a little while awed the re
mainder into silence. The speaker struggled
through it all, reminding a looker on of a
strong swimmer battling with the waves. lie
kept his temper nearly all the wav through,
letting his indignation only find voice when
it seemed as though human courage and
patience could endure no longer. Whatever
else his enemies may say of him, there were
few who last night did not admire the un
conquerable spirit that would not be over
whelmed.
“No intelligent report of the speech, as
delivered, can be given. It was broken up
into snatches, through which were mixed the
questions of the crowd and his answers.
When announced, he said : ‘ Hear me for
my cause, and lie silent that you may hear.
I am not afraid to appear before the people of
Georgia. lam wiilihgto appeal to that latent
justice which is in the bosom of every man,
whether or not he be controlled by prejudice
and passion. All I ask of you is to be judged
by such judgment as you would ask for your
selves.’/’ [Great confusion.]
The speech was closed as follows :
“ At this time the crowd kept up a pretty
lively fuss, but when the speaker ended his
description of how Norwood was nominated,
the excitement and confusion became over
whelming. Gentlemen advised the Governor
to cease, but lie refused. No one could be
heard for a longtime. Finally Captain Bacon
addressed them, and in asharp speech shamed
the crowd into silence.
“When thejspeaker could be heard he at
tacked Norwood’s war and Senate record, but
the confusion became so great that even the
reporters within a few feet of him could not
hear his words. Someone said something
about Joe Brown, and the Go venter singled
him out and calmly said : ‘ I will give you
Joe Brown if you wish it.’ He then gave
them in clear language his reasons lor the
appointment. Brown was a Democrat; had
voted the ticket' for twelve years ; had acted
with the Democratic commission in Florida;
he had voted for Grant; the Democrats had
voted for Greeley ; ho had favored the recon
struction measures ; the Democrats had after
wards indorsed them; he had not always
been a Democrat, but there were Whigs in
the crowd around him.
“ This latter part burst from his lips in a
torrent of writhing sarcasm, and, wearied,
the Governor took hi3 seat.”
Escape of Sam Hill-
Early Friday morning it was discovered
that Sam Ilill had escaped from the Asylum
at Milledgeville, where he had been sent by
a second jury upon a trial for lunacy, after
he had been found guilty of the murder of
Simmon9 in Atlanta, and sentenced to the
penitentiary for life. The following particu
lars are obtained from a gentleman visitin'*
the Asylum at the time of the escape:
It will be remembered that nearly ever3 r
reporter who has visited the Asylum and Hill,
has described an extraordinary picture which
the unfortunate man was painting upon the
wall of his room—a picture representing the
court room and the various figures therein—
himself, wife, judge, etc. This picture was
but merely outlined when last we saw it.
Hill appears to have had other intentions
than mere amusement when he began that
picture. He was allowed to have paints and
materials necessary for his work, for no at
tempt to escape was anticipated by the au
thorities. His room opened into a corridor
on the third floor. At each end of the cor
ridor there was a door, which was kept lock
ed. Hill’s method of escape can only be
guessed at from the tracks he left. It is sup
posed to be as follows: Ilis room door was
always locked from the outside. He wanted
to get a key to fit that lock, and to get an
impression, cut a square block out of the
door, laying bare the lock. This block was
under an old piece of canvass, which hung
over the lock for weeks, upon which he was
accustomed to try his colors. The block was
neatly replaced, and the cut place scarcely
visible.
Having thus obtained an impression of
his lock, it was an easy matter for him to
turn it over to any one of the numerous
friends who visit him, and to receive in re
turn a key a few days later. With the means
of issuing from his room at his disposal, he
doubtless slipped down the hall one night
and obtained an impression of the corridor
door lock, from which a friend likewise ob
tained for him a key. He had then the asy
lum at his pleasure, for the path to the front
door was unobstructed.
On the evening of the second, he replied
to a little girl who asked him about his pict
ure, that he had done all he intended to do
with it. The next morning he was gone.
There were several letters upon his table ad
dressed to various parties. One to Dr. Pow
ell, stated that during all the time he was
allowed to exercise in the 3’ard, he had nev
er sought to escape, because of his promise,
but that the instant he was locked up again
the promise ended, and being wrongfully in
carcerated, he could not consent to remain.
He stated that he would never again enter the
asylum alive.
His slippers were found in the front 3-ard.
Ilis wife’s picture he carried with him.—Ma

According to the Summerville Gazette,
Georgia Oshurn, of Hancock county, aged
seventy seven, having no horse, has cultiva
ted his crop this year altogether with the hoe.
11 is neighbors say that he will make three
hundred Jmshels of corn and two bales of
cotton.
Forsyth Advertiser: •* One of our merchants,
who is a large dealer in provisions, says the
farmers have gone into debt to a smaller
amount this year than for any \ r car since he
lia3 been in business. The cotton crop is a
good one, and if present prices Continue, we
confidently look for the debt burdened peo

We have been told of a litter of puppies
belonging to a negro who is working for Mr.
J. C. Baker near town. There are six of the
puppies, about two weeks old, and three of
them have tails aliout an inch long, while
three have no sign of a tail at all. We do
not wish this to be considered a dog tail. It
is in fact the truth concerning three tailless
puppies.— Houston Home Journal.
The Macon Telegraph, says that last Satur
day night General Gordon occupied a birth
on the Atlanta sleeping car, and while the
train was standing near the depot, two care
less politicians, who had not retired, got into
a warm discussion over a portion ofthe “ con
vict chateehism,” which charges Gordon with
owning a share in the convict lease, and one
of them stated that fact. Gordon stood the
use of his name for awhile, and then called
out, “ I am General Gordon, and that is a
lying catechism you are quoting from, my
friend.” The political discussion died out
very suddenly.
The Rome Daily says : “ Sunday morning
while Miss Efiie Mitchell, one of DeSoto’s
most popular young ladies, was endeavoring
to kindle a fire with kerosene oil, the treach
erous oil exploded, and in a moment her
dress was in a light blaze. With a wonder
ful presence of mind, the unfortunate young
lady put her hand over her mouth and nose
to prevent being stranggled by 4he smoke,
and rushed into her mother’s room, and
throwing herself on the floor, endeavored
with her other hand to tear up. a piece of car
pet with which to extinguish the flames.
Her elder sister, Miss Mary, was so overcome
with the terrible situation that her sister was
in, fainted dead away, when a younger sister,
Miss Florence, picked up some blankets off
of a bed near by and succeeded in extin
guishing the flames. Though very painful,
we are pleased to state that the burns are not
considered fatal.”
A few days ago a little negro boy of Al
bany disappeared mysteriously. Search was
instituted for him without success. When
last seen he was playing with some other lit
tle boys, and on Friday last they were found
and questioned. Upon being assured no
harm should come to them, they stated that
on Thursday afternoon last the missing boy
and themselves went down to the river to go
in bathing. The boy, who could not swim,
plunged too far out, got into the deep water,
and after a short, desperate struggle, \tent
down to rise no more. His companions be
came frightened, and for fear of harm to them
selves. hid the boy ’s clothes and decided not
to say anything about the occurrence, but to
let it remain a secret between themselves and
the quiet flowing waters of the Flint.
We learn from the Monroe Advertiser that
Clayton liillsman, the colored boy who so
brutally killed the three-year-old boy of Mr..
C. G. liillsman, in Culloden, has been tried
for the crime of murder and found guilty.
Notwithstanding his youth, eleven years, the
crime was so fiendish in conception, so bru
tal in execution, and so utterly unprovoked,
that the jurors found no merc3 r * n their hearts
for the murderer. Judge Lawson passed
sentence on last Saturday afternoon that
Clayton liillsman be hanged on Friday, Oc
tober 29th next, between the hour of ten
o’clock a. m. and four p. m., in a private
place. That paper further says : “ Mr. Hunt,
attorney for the criminal, gave notice of a
motion for anew trial, so that the execution
will not occur at least, until the Supreme
Court has passed upon the ease.”
“ A day or two since,’’ says the Macon Tel
gr-tph, “ there occurred in Vineville one of
the mo9t singular events we have ever been
called on to record. It was nothing more or
less than a bold attack b3' a hawk upon a
lady. The circumstances are as follows:
The lady was in a room adjoining the hall
when she heard a heavy thud, and the noise
of falling glass outside the door. Rushing
into the hall she found her little child there,
and perched upon some object near at hand
a gigantic hawk. Upon the appearance of
the lady, the bird made a swoop for her, and
while she was using all endeavors to protect
the child by covering its head, fasten talons
in the lady’s hair. After a considerable
struggle she succeeded in beating the bird
off, when it retreated to a picture of General
Lee, upon which it perched. The lady re
treated to her room and called upon the ser
vants to close the hall door. This was done,
and his hawkship would have been a captive
but he seemed to take in the situation, and
darted into a bedroom, lit on the cradle,
sidled along to the window and escaped.
He was so large that when he entered the
door his wings struck the doorway 011 each
side. His first appearance was made when
he swooped into the back 3 T ard and lit upon
the framework of a wax plant. From thence
he made his way into the hall, and broke the
windows in trying to get out.”
Berrien County News: “A ‘nigger’ by
the name of George Perkins, who lived in
Atlanta, passed through this place to-day on
his wnj to Brunswick, and from there goes to
Savannah. Thinking he was talking to a
Norwood man he exhibited his credentials,
which bore the signature of Howard Wil
liams, Secretary of the Norwood Club, and
addressed to all whom it may concern. His
business mainly is to distribute the Norwood
catechism on the convict lease. He tells the
negroes at the same time that Colquitt and
Brown are going to reduce the wages of the
colored people to five cents per day. When
asked what his instructions were, he said
that the committee told him to tell anything
to whip the fight. He said he told lies to the
country * niggers’ and used money among
those in the towns and cities. He says he
lias brought the ‘ nigger’ preachers—llus
kins, at Griffin, and Howard Bunts, in
Dougherty—to time and was then going to
see Jim Blue. From thence he would go to
Savannah for a supply of catechisms and
0101103’, and then go in the direction to Thom
asville. He has a personal interest
in defeating Governor Colquitt, in the fact
that he desires to drop Owen Smith—a col
ored boy in the Governor’s employ —a but
ton hole.”
A Desperate Family Row-
We are pained to learn that there has been
a serious difficulty in the family of Mr. Willis
Winn, of this county, who lives a few miles
from Flowery Branch, on the Chattahoochee
river. It seems that Bob Winn has been
quarreling with his father, mother and the
balance of the family for some years on ac
count of the disposition of the homestead and
other property, which Bud Duke, his brother
in-law, has purchased and got possession of.
Last Thursday Bob put in a sudden ap
pearance while the family were at the table
(except Mr. Duke) and evesdropped the
window until he heard something unpleasant
about himself, whereupon he bolted into the
house, kicked his mother in the throat hurting
her seriously, then with a club beating his
sister, Mrs. Duke, and a younger one un
married. Finally Mrs. Duke ran out of the
house with Bob following and beating her.
Bud Duke being in the field near by, and
seeing this brutal conduct, hurried to the
house, took down a rifle and snapped it at
Bob ; it did not fire and the latter immediately
began firing with a pistol. Duke got his
pistol and for some time the firing was brisk
on both sides, until finally Duke was severely
wounded in the arm, after which he fled with
an empty pistol and Bob after him firing
rapidly. The race continued for about half
mile and until Mr. Duke found refuge with
some district road hands. Bob has made his
escape and thus far has not been captured by
the officers. We are still in hope, however,
he may be captured and brought to justice.
We have been expecting Bob Winn to come
to some bad end for two years past. Let the
broken law be vindicated. —Gainesville South

The Hon. O. A. Loehrane has just returned
from a trip up North. He is not as sanguine
of Hancock’s electicfii as he was some time
ago. lie says that there is lots of distrust
and apprehension amongst the people of the
North in regard to the South, provided it
should again get control of the government.
They think up there that the war claims will
be paid ; that the South will demand pay for
the negroes and proceed to pay off the Con
federate debt. On the other hand, none of
the Republicans believe in the charges made
against Garfield, and nothing that can be
said will make them forget their allegiance
to their party. Notwithstanding all this, we
think that, with proper management, we can
secure the election of our candidate. The
prospects at present are very flattering, to
say the least.
The Senatorial Convention of the 27th Dis
trict. composed of the counties of Clarke,
Newton. Oconee and Walton, met on the
28th of last month, at Social Circle, and nom
inated Hon. 11. I). McDaniel, of Walton
county. They also passed resolutions in re
gard to Senator Brown, and requested Mr.
McDaniel to vote for him as their choice in
the Senatorial election. In his letter of ac
ceptance he mentions the matter, and plainly
states that he will follow the dictates of his
own judgment, and that, in his opinion, the
proper time to judge is at the time the elec
tion comes off. The question is : will they
go back on him, or risk his judgment?
Worthless Stull!
