The Atlanta Constitution says that last
Friday Mr. John Mclntyre, who lives seven
miles from the city on the Flat Shoals road,
was in Atlanta and engaged three men to go
home with him and pick cotton. The men
were June Ratlin, John Coppage and Hud
Hroom. The four left Atlanta together, but
when six miles from the city, near Sugar
•Creek, on the Hat Shoals road, the men put
into execution a robbery which bears all the
marks of having been deliberately planned.
At the place mentioned Mr. Mclntyre was
struck on the head and knocked down ; a
member of the party caught and choked him
while a third held a knife in readiness in
case of resistance.- After securing fifty-four
dollars, the robbers beat a hasty retreat, hav
ing been frightened by an approaching wag
on. Id r. Mclntyre was not hurt much, but
surrendered when he saw that resistance was
useless. The robbery occurred on one of
the principal highways leading into the city,
at ten o’clock in the day time, and was apiece
of remarkable bold rascality. Two of the
men, June Iluilin and John Coppage. were
arrested that night and are now confined in
the station house. *

saw, which jerked him forward upon it, and
as quick as thought, lie was literally sawed
in pieces. llis left leg was cut entirely off
and thrown some ten paces ; his right arm
was sawed and mashed off; his right leg was
cut almost entirely otr at the knee, and his
left hand cut olf. 11 is body w:Vs also terribly
bruised, yet. he lived until 2 o’clock p. m.,

alter the doctor reached his bedside.
COLQUITT STILL TRIUMPHANT I
Issues Settled.
As the Gubernatorial canvass drrvws to a
close, two things are clearly indicated. The
first is, that the throne of the politician is
crumbling, that his royal sway over the masses
is a thing of the past, i lie newspapers are
finding their way to almost every home, and
our people are beginning to rea l and think
for themselves. May the Lord hasten the
day when the professional politician and office
seeker will be forced to retire from the stump
and seek a living by some productive labor.
'The second fact indicated by this canvass is
that the people, left to themselves and their
newspapers, and otner sources of information,
wiil quietly reach a fairer and better con
clusion than when constantly harangued by
public speakers. lam glad to know that the
days when noise and brag and blaster could
sway the people are now passing away.
During this campaign, while the Norwood
party was screaming and shouting, the people
were closing their ears, quietly examining
the facts and deciding to support Colquitt.
When the Norwood party blustered and
bragged, the people smiled and regarded the
former as noisy' children. When the more
excited Norwoodit.es forgot their manhood
and became abusive, the supporters of Colquitt
calmly closed up their ranks, moved steadily
on, and every day received accessions from
the better classes of their opponents. It does
seem strange that the minorit y with ail their
boasted talent should have made such egre
gious blunders. In their sublime conception
of their imagined gifts, they seem to have
forgotten that common people may have a
little common sense, and that the latter can
no Jongfer be imposed on by bare-faced false
hood and gross misrepresentation. I heard
that one of their speakers was even trying to
impose upon the people that Colquitt was
responsible for goo i men’s names being left
out of the jury l>ox, and when remonstrated
with for the gross misrepresentation, replied
that he “did not care, if they' were fools
enough to believe it.” This is certainly' very
much like many of their mis-statements, i
believe this minority make the boast that they
have the talent of the State with them. May
the Lord save us from such talent as lias been
displayed by them in this campaign ; and
may he save our State from such leaders and
such rulers as they would make. !do not
think history ean.furnish an example of a
party led by men claiming “ great talent”
starting out with so little capital and having
swell meagre claims for recognition. Even/
issue which they have truthful!)/ made during
the campaign hud been thoroughly'in vest/gated
<oid passed upon by an overwhedming major if >/
</gainst them be fore the canvass commenced.
Not a charge have they made against Governor
Colquitt hut what has been met long ago and
triumphantly refuted. And that was the
reason why the people in their primary elec
tions so decidedly indicated that they wished
Governor Colquitt to be retained in the*
Gubernatorial chair. And that was partly
the reason why the delegates were determined
that he should go before the people. The
Colquitt delegates also knew that the opinion
was very common that conventions often
defeated tins will of the people; and this is
the great argumentof Independentisra against
conventions. The majority of the delegates
knew that the people wanted Governor Col
quitt, and they determined that the above
charge should not be made against them. It
is the basest political stuff to talk about Col
quitt’s not harmonizing t.ho Democratic party.
No man in the world can ever harmonize a
great body of office-seekers, unless he has a
good office to give to every one; and even
then it would be doubtful. Not a man in the
State of Georgia, except Alfred 11. Colquitt.
could have come in a thousand degrees of
harmonizing the party. The people wanted
Colquitt, and if he had not been put before
them, they would have scattered conventions
to the four winds forever, and would have
buried the delegates, politically, for all time.
They mean to have their way, and 1, for one,
am glad of it. lam tired of the sway of
politicians and office-seekers. The people
know very well who represented them in the
late convention ; and all the elTnrtVto prove
that they did not wish the re election of Gov
ernor Colquitt have proven utterly futile:
and the Gth of October will most triumphantly
vindicate the action of the majority in con
forming to the will of the people. They are
not deceived by the cry of disorganization.
They know who the disorganizes are ; and
they know well that L was the minority who
wished to disorganize and revolutionize, be
cause said minority was out of office, and
said minority was so awfully “ talented’’ that
the State of Georgia would be rained if it did
not have their talents in the places of power :
so they thought, under the impression that
they had all the brain, that it would be better
for them to break up the Democratic party,
than £;r the State of Georgia to be ruined by
having them out of cilice.
Fellow-citizens, let us teach these gentle
men that we' do not mistake noise for talent ;
that we do not receive empty political charges
as facts; that we do not approve of vitupera
tive abuse, or regard it as recommending
men to our suffrages. Let u3 also show them
that we know our own minds, and prove it by
giving Alfred 11. Colquitt a greater majority
than he received four years ago.
J. W. G.
P. S.—Some have found fault with Gov.
Colquitt oil account of his connection with
the Trade Union. That matter, too. has been
fully investigated by a committee and the
Governor triumphantly vindicated.
General B. F. Butler’s Speech at Pitts
burg.
PiTTsnuiro, September 18.—Gen. Benja
min F. Butler and Col. John W. Forney ar
rived in this city this nfterhoon. Paul J.
Carson, Ex-Deputy Sheriff, together with a
number of other colored men, called upon
Gen. Butler, who. in response to a speech by
Mr, Carson, said lie hud done nothing but
what lie conceived to be his duty in a war
which was not begun for the emancipation
of slaves, because, as all would remember, at
the first proclamation of President Lincoln
tiie troops were called out to retake and
repossess the United States of property j
which had been seized from them, and j
to execute the laws. After reviewing las'
career from 1830 to 1865, he continued:
“ For the sixteen years since the war I have
acted with the Hepuhlican party in the hope j
that they would extern l that, protection to the >
colored mi-n of the South th ;‘ I deemed
ought to ’ue done. I trie ito get it done in
Congress, but. if was not and me. I fought in
the campaign for Haves'in 187 G under the
promises of the platform and the party leaders
that it should be done, and what is the re
sult? The* very first act of Hayes’ adminis
tration was to turn over the States of Lou
isiaaa and South Carolina, where -it was
claimed tha' there were Republican govern
ments elected by negro votes, or else II ayes
was not ejected. Ue gave the governments
so elected over to the Democrats, and from
that hoar, for four years, not one tiling has
been attempted to be done in behalf of col
ored men, nor indeed anybody else. There
iias been, it is true, a little attempt to ‘stop
the illicit distilling of whisky and brandy in
the South, and a few men have been caught
and let go, and some men have been killed
by the lawless distillers, and their murderers
have not been punished, so that there has not
been proper protection for the men who live
down there. That being so. in the best in
terests of the colored men, I propose to have
a change. If the Republican party cannot
provide this protection in sixteen years, I do
not propose to allow them twenty. General
Hancock has said that he will enforce the
loth, 14th and loth amendments in their let
ter and spirit, and nobody' who knows him
will doubt that he will stand by that if elect
ed. ami given the power, and nobody doubts
that the Democratic party will have the pow
er to protect the negro if they get into power,
and their leader has said he will do so. 1
propose to try this expenmen for four years,
and then, IT the Democrats cannot do better
than Hayes has done, i shall turn round and
help kick thorn out at the end of four years.
One tiling is certain, I cannot be more pow
erless during the next four years to give col
ored men proper protection, than I and every
other man has been in tha past.”
The Conrgessionni Campaign.
With the nomination of Colonel George Iv.
Black in the first district, the democracy of
Georgia complete the preliminaries of the
congressional can/ass in this state—a can
vass that promises to he in all respects rath
er livelier than usuah The nomination of Col
onel Black will not only give great satisfac
tion throughout’thc State, but will harmo
nize whatever spirit of discord may have
made itself manifest in the party in the dis
triet. He is personally very popular, and his
friends have insisted for some years that his
services to the party in the desperate days
of reconstruction and since entitle him to a
place in the Georgia delegation. Colonel
Black does not come before the oeople oJ his
district as the “ dark horse” of the Conven
tion which nominated him. 11 is position in
the party made him a candidate for the nom
ination and his popularity will elect him over
any opposition that may be put in the field.
Ue is in every respect a representative Geor
gian, a good lawyer, a fine speaker an t a
ready debater.
In the second district the opposition that
will be brought against Captain Henry G.
Turner will onl y serve to develop the remark
able energies of that gentleman as a c im
paigner. lie has few equals on the stump,
and when he fakes his seat in congress, tie
republicans wiil discover that he is a power
ful adversary, whether on the door of th
house or In the committee room, ft is un
derstood that the republican candidate in
the second district is B. F. Brimberry.
In the third district, Gen*-ml .Phil Cook
has no opposition that we can hear of, thouT
if it should become necessary, he can mrik
a stirring canvass, lie is popular witu his
constituents, and has served them fait - .full
for several years.
In the fourth district. JufUc Hugh Hue!
an an, one of the best legal minds in the stab
and a most popular citizen, js the nominee,
lie is opposed by Colonel Pou. of Columbus
who is running as an independent candi l it*-
The canvass in tills district will be lively V
the end, and there seems no reason to doubt
that Judge Buchanan will be elected.
In the fifth district, Colonel N. J. Ilarn
mond has been re-nominated. lie will be op
posed by Mr. Ilulsey, of Fulton, and Mr,
Dismuke, of Spalding, both of whom are in
dependent candidates. Colonel Hammond
will be re elected without any trouble. If
may be taken for granted that Freeman, the
republican nominee, looked over the grown .
carefully before lie announced his intention
of retiring, and if lie had discovered even a
remote chance for his election, lie woo'd be
in the field at this moment. The truth is.
Colonel Hammond has given the most un
bounded satisfaction to the people of the dis
trict of all shades of opinion, and they fi.-.l
that Ills experience in the" house his fully
equipped him for his duties as a representa
tive of their interests and the interests of the
state.
In the sixth district. Colonel J. IT. Blount
is having tilings His own way. He has no
opposition, but lie is nevertheless meeting his
constituents in various parts of the district,
and giving them an account of his steward
ship. This is almost unnecessary, for all
who read the newspapers are familiar with
the conspicuous position Colonel Blount has
taken in congress.
In the seventh district, Mr. J. C. Clements
is making an active campaign against Dr.
Felton. There has not, as yet, been any joint
discussion between the two candidates, and
it is probable that each will prefer to meet
the people unembarrassed by the limits and
latitudes of an argumentative encounter.
We judge from the newspapers, that the
speeches of Mr. Clements are exceedingly
effective, and it will certainly be a feather in
iiis cap if he should snceed in defeating a
campaigner as experienced as Dr. Felton.
In the eighth district, the sage of Liberty
Hall is without opposition from any quarter.
He will probably make a few speeches to
his constituents, but even this is not neces
sary.
In the ninth district. Colonel 11. 1\ Bell?
the democratic nominee, is making a lively
campaign against Mr. Emory Speer, the in
dependent candidate. It is not to be denied
that the latter goes into the canvass under
fewer disadvantages than formerly, but
Colonel Bell is an effective campaigner, an
indefatigable worker, and a good speaker.
The candidates have arranged for a series of
joint discussions, and the voters of the ninth
will be treated to an old-fashioned canvass.
There seems to be no doubt that the Georgia
delegation to the forty-seventh cangress will
bo conspicuous for its ability, collectively
and individually, and will compare more than
favorably with any delegation ever sent to
congress from any State in the union.—

The Columbus Tin es says: “Alit f le ne- j
•rro cliihl, about, four yearn old. hold of
its father's tlask of red liquor Sunday and
drank it, from the effects of it died in
a levy hours. Such dangerous weapons should
be kept out of the way of children as well as
their elders.”
According to thoKlberton News the Grange
movement is rapidly building up in Elbert
county. That paper learns that the Dove's
Creek Grange initiated seven new members
a few days ago at a called meeting, and will
initiate seventeen more at the next regular
meeting. Tile order is rapidly increasing in
other portions of the county.
The North Georgia Citizen was shown a
day or so ago, at the jewelry store of E. E.
Brown in this place, a small double-case gold
watch, which was recently ploughed up on
the battle-field of Chickamauga. The watch
was in an excellent state of preservation, hut
little rusted, and when repaired, will be as
good time-keeper as it ever was. It original
ly cost about one hundred dollars.
Athens Banner: “Sunday morning a dis
tressing casualty occurred on the Georgia
Road, about three miles below Winterville.
The hnt of a negro man on the train, whose
name wo emill not learn, blew from his head.
Under the influence of liquor, and not aware
of the folly of his act, he instantly jumped
from the car after the hnt. The train was
going at about twenty-five miles an hour, and
the poor fellow landed on his head with such
violence that fiis skull was broken, lie is
not dead yet, but lies in an unconscious con
'lition and there is little or no hope of hrs
life.”
Columbus Times: “ One of your sprigs of
the bar, noted for his erudition, and who is
also a Norwood missionary, a few days ago
participated in a joint discussion in a neigh
boring village, being assigned the opening
speech. The time allowed was only two
hours, so our young friend began his speech
in the garden*of Eden, after the creation, in
a review of the origin of the government, and
coming along down gradually, gave a history
'if all the the supremacy of pow
er till lie reached Georgia and the great race
of Troup and Clark, some fifty years ago,
when time was palled on him by the Chair
man, and he took his seat amid a perfect
storm of enthusiasm. It was a splendid
speech, and just about as near as any of the
Norwood orators come to a solid reason why
Governor Colquitt should not, be re-elected.
Eifly years is a short time, only half a cen
tury.”
Says the Elbert,on News: “We took a trip
through the lower part of the county one day
last week', and from what we could see, the
upland corn crop is almost a complete fail
ure in that section. With but few excep
tions, that which we saw was hardly worth
gathering. The failure wa3 caused by the
long continued dry weather. Wo were in
forme;; that on bottom lands the crops was
much better. The cotton crop throughout
that portion of the county is also sorry, and
will not make more than half ail average
crop, according to present calculations., it,
is opening rapidly, and the people arc pick
ing it out an fast as possible. Guano lias
no! paid those who have used it in that sec-
Gnn the present year, and we fear that many
■>f them will come out behind. In other por
tions of the county where they have not suf
fered for rain, crops of ai! kinds are said to
oft as g0,.-' as the lan 1 i ■ capable of pro-due
iag.” '
“On Sun-lay morning list.” say the Wo!
ton (Jonah! Vldelte, “ when Deputy Sherifi
Ivey to the jail to breakfast the priso
ners, he was unceremoniously run over !v
George Thompson, now under sentence to
the penitentiary' for life, for murder. Upon
unlocking tire first inside door, George sprang
against it with all his strength, forcing Judge
Ivey back against the wall behind the door.
With this he sprang down the steps and took
to his heels. The Judge then gave the alarm
and before the fleeing culprit could run fifty’
yards, he was overtaken by a number <ff
young men and negroes, who had given chase,
and safely recaptured. He was back safe in
his cell in lAs than five minutes after lie ac
quitted it. Examination showed that he had
broken the lock to the inner door by means
of a forty penny nail which lie had gotton
hold of by some means—and the inner door
being thus opened, ho had only to await the
turnkey's com ng and take him unawares.”
The Atlanta Const!!niton publishes a long
account of the diifieulty between Dr. J. G.
Westmoreland and Mr. Julius L. Brown in
that city, and shows how il was that the hos
tile meeting arranged between them-was pre
vented. It seems that Dr. Westmoreland,
after his an- ■#* gave $5.0 K) bond to keep the
peace, but left for the field i:i spite of his
bond. After this Mr. Brown was arrested
just as he was leaving the city, and Judge
Tanner, to prevent his following Dr. West
moreland's example, placed him under a
bond of $25,000 that he keep the peace, and
not leave the State for a hostile meeting.
This effectually put a stop to the duel.
Sand Bar Ferry, near Augusta, had been se
lected as the meeting place. Before the duel
was arranged for lion. B. li. Hill a;nd Col.
G. W. Adair made every effort to adjust the
differences between the two gentlemen, but.
without effect. Col. I. W. Avery was the sec
ond of 'dr. Brown, and Mr. Howard Williams
that of Dr. Westmoreland.
The Columbus Times relates “a tradition
of Bine Mountain” as follows: “ It is a fact
well known to men now living that in former
years the settlers in Harris county about Bine
Mountni'n got the lead they used for mould
ing bullets from some place on the mountain.
; In these latter years no one seemed to know
lof the spot from which It was obtained. It
might be worth looking up. A good lead
' mine would be a valuable discovery. The
one found forty or fifty years ago must have
been taken from or vernear the surface, and ity
was said to be very fine—perhaps ninety
per cent, of lead. The old hunters—notably
Mr. Zeke Brown, who lived on the Whiter,-
ville road not far from the Mulberry, mould
ed bullets fern the ore direct. We hope if
there is any valuable mineral in the Bine
Mountain, in quantities sufficient to make
mining profitable, that it be discovered and
* unearthed.’ Wo have heard before that
there was gold in this mountain, but the
existence of lead was not known to us be
fore. In those old days of winch we have
been writing, there were* rattlesnakes' along
t lie re too. Mr. Zeke Brown, named above,
used to say that lie had rattlesnakes enough
on his place to 4 fence it in’ if each snake had
been a fence rail, but they never hurt him. as
he always kept on hand a sovereign antodote
—peach and honey. Some of the descend
ants of the snakes are still to be found, and
the remedy for their bites has never been for
gotten by any inhabitants of old Harris.”
To the Voteri; of Jackson County.
As I will not have the chance of calling in
person upon the voters of Jackson county, I
employ this means of making known to them
why 1 am seeking their suffrages as a candi
date to represent them in the Senate - from
the Senatorial District composed of the coun
ties of Hall, Banks and Jackson. As is well
known to you all, the rotation system has
heretofore been acted upon. At the last
general election for members of the Legisla
ture, it being the turn of Hall to choose the
nominee for the Senate, she presented to the
! citizens of Banks the Hon. Allen Candler,
| who was almost unanimously supported by
I Banks. The term before Jackson presented
| to Banks the name of the lion. George Dead
i wyler, who also received the almost unani
| mens support of Banks. Sometime before
the meeting of the late convention at Gills
ville to nominate a candidate for the Senate,
the Militia Districts of Banks held meetings
and elected delegates, who assembled at
Homer and expressed it as their unanimous
desire that I make the race as a candidate
for the next Senator of the District. The
nomination was not one of my own seeking.
I have never held any office, nor have I ever
been a candidate for any office before. lam
by profession a farmer, and if elected shall
use all the influence* that I may possess and
can bring to boar for the proteotiofl of the
farming interests of my State.
Respectfully soliciting your suffrages, I re
main your humble citizen,
Daniel T. Busii.
