' SQu The cbm of Peter Block for mak
ing an assault on Peggy Harris, which
was noticed in onr lost, as having been
settled by Peter, giving the Marshal Jive
dollart and fifty cents, was up before Jus

substantiated, and the said Peter bound
over for his appearance at the next Su

with intent to mrtrdcr.
How is that for high? Now arraign

Watkisiklon Tbeat.—This office is
under many thanks to Mr. Wiley Cham-
Mess for a number of fine watermelons.
They were of delicious flavor and highly
enjoyable. Do so again, Wiley.

We are pleased to learn that our
energetic Post Master, Mr. Bnrwald, has
succeeded in establishing a semi-weekly
nuil route from Americas to Lumpkin,
vii Preston. The new schedule will go
in operation in a few weeks.
A New IV.'KR.—The first number of
the Cartemville Standard, edited by
Wikle k Woods, two thoroughly compe
tent and enterprising gentlemen of the
fourth estate, is n doomed umoug the
number of onr exchanges. The paper is
« krgo one and judiciously edited, while
it.s typograpliical appearance reflects great
credit upon its projectors.
B=0- A clerk in this city was waiting
on an old lady who was making some
purchases, a few days ago, and as
weather was very warm he had pulled off
his coat to cool and didn't put it on when
his enstoraer came in, as she was old and
not of the “ upper crust. ” While cool
ing off he had dropped his shirt over
the back of his pants and forgotten it In
taking down goods the lady espied -the
order of the yonng man's apparel and
said : 44 Yonng man, I think you had bet
ter put some weights to your shirt tail if
you want to keep it in your pants. ” Wo
think the advice pretty good.
GnouxDMOLKUJa the Cities.—The Au-
gnsta Chronicle and Sentinel learns that
it is part of the Radical programme to
extend the charter limits of all the cities
in Georgia, in order to embrace as voters,
all t he vagabond and idle negroes who
have congregated about them. Colum
bus is familiar with the trick, as it has
been tried on her. The Macon Tele
graph and Messenger very aptly calls
this engineering process groundmoleing.
Can it be possible this Radical idea
and policy has seized npon onr city offi
cialn. We are informed they have sent
np an application to extend tho charter
limits of Americas, and thus “ground-
mole” us, to as to include Ishamville.—
We thought our city Government pro
fessed to be Democratic, but certainly
the above, taken in connection with the
action of onr city Fathers, looks a little
strange, to say the least. What is. the ob
ject of the proposed extension ? Let ns
know.

SkiT We learn that a son of Mr. Isaiath
McLendon, of Terrell county was strnck
.lead by lightning, on Thursday evening
last, the 28th nit, during a severe thun
der storm. Tho young man was about
^ Tears of age, and was sitting in
house at the time. Although there wore
other members of tho family in the honse
when the accident occurred, none
S&.A Fifteenth Amendment by the
name of Peter Black entered the house
of Peggy Harris, (a colored woman,
Thursday and beat her most unmerciful
ly. Fearing that Peggy would take steps
to have him punished, and wishing to
evAde the law, Peter immediately started
ont to hnnt np his right-hand man, the
Marshal of the City, to have the matter
settled without being arraigned before
bis Honor, the Mayor. On finding him,
Peter lays his case before the Chief, and
pays him jZre dollars and fifty cents to take
no action in the matter, and also gave the
injured woman a sum of 44 hush ” money.
On hearing of the difficulty a policeman
was sent to investigate the matter and
bring the offending party to jnstioe, but
returned—stating that the matter had
been amicably settled between the Mar
shal and Peter.
The above facts can be substantiated
by a number of our citizens.
McAfee House.—We have traveled a
bit in oar time, and have eaten onr quan
tum suffleit of the good things prepared
to be eaten, but we must say that the pro
prietor of the above house at Smithville,
s good a table as the dantiest epicure
might desire. The rooms ore nice and
well attended to, the servants are vigilant
and active, the proprietor a perfect gen
tleman, the clerk polite and accommoda
ting, and visitors have but a few steps to
take from the Railroad to reach this
mach-to be desired house. Give Mo a
call whenever yon pass down that way.
t7»Some night hawk who strolls
about the streets under the cover of dark
ness, prying into affairs that do not
concern him, entered our office last Mon
day night, and with a lighted candle pro
ceeded to examine the files of the com
positors where the copy that is set np for
the paper is placed. The great desire to
find ont the name of a certain corres
pondent. prompted this wretch to enter
office. Traces of tallow candle can
ieen on tho floor where he had vainly
searched for the information he so devout
ly wished, but which hodid not find.
A person who would steal into a man's
store house or office, at night, would not
hesitate to apply the incendiary's torch
to the building, nor cut the throat of a
sleeping babe.
This night hawk hod better quit prowl
ing about these premises at night, or the
police might be called upon to take the
carcass of some one to Ode Grove Ceme
tery some morning.
The object of the meeting having been
explained, on motion ofO. W. Hancock,
a committee of five were appointed by
the Choir to nominate four delegates to
represent this county in the Convention
to be held in Atlanta on the 17th inst—
The Chair appointed as that Committee,
Messrs. A. A. Adams, Wright Brody, A.
J. Williams, F. A. Hill and Dr. 8. B.
Hawkins.
The Committee having retired a short
time, returned and through their Chair
man made the following report: That the
following named gentlemen be made
delegates, to-wit: W. A. Hawkins,
Wright Brady, T. D. Speer, T. M. Fnr-
low, and that the names of J. A. Cobb and
G. R. Harper oar Representatives in the
Legislature be added in view of a possi
ble vacancy. The report was received
and adopted.
On motion, the proceedings were re
quested to be published in the city
papers.

During the thunder storm which
pissed over this place last Friday after
noon, the chimney of the honse of Mr.
Peter Dunlavy, in the Northern part of
the city was struck by lightning. Mr. D.
" ho was in the house at the time and
setting near the fire-place was severely
gunned and had a portion ol his cloth
ing set on fire This was truly a narrow
escape. Never sit near a window nor be-
f-uv a fire-place daring a thunder storm.
ftaJT We learn that a great deal of ex
citement was occasioned amongst some
of the colored people, living near the
Railroad, on Sunday afternoon lost, by
a strange negro woman walking np the
Railroad with a white child. She told
them that the child and herself were both
nearly starved, but she would neither
stop nor enter a honse for anything, but
hurried onward as if anxious to get out
of sight. She said sho lived a very long
way from here, and appeared to be abon
half crazy. Some white women who saw
them said the child looked to be about
eighteen months or two years old, and
was rather delicate and pnny. The ne
gro woman was very black and tried to
avoid all conversation, and would tell no
one her destination. This is something
that should receive the attention of the
proper officers of the law along the Rail
road, she can be arrested somewhere, and,
if the child is stolen, be made to tell who
are its parents, and for what purpose it
was taken.
Stamp Youb Recehts.—The clause of
the New tax bill abolishing the taxon
receipts, does not go into effect for some
months yet The clause in question pro
vides that “on and after October next,
the stamp tax imposed in schedule B on
promissory notes for a less sum than
8100, and on receipts for any sum of
money, or for payment of any debt, and
the stamp tax imposed in schedule C on
canned and preserved fish, be and the
same is hereby repealed. And no stamp
shall be required upon the transfer of
assignment of a mortgage, where it or
tho instrument it secures has been duly
stamped.”
Lkr Ahead.—Mr. Thomas M. Cam
eron, of Lee county, left at this office, on
Thursday last, a stalk of cotton, between
three and four feet high, literally filled
with fruit, and quite a number of the
bolls open ready for picking. The spec
imen of cotton is very good. Mr. C.,
says the cotton on his place is opening
very rapidly, and in the course of ten
days he will commence picking.
Cotton Crop of1870-TX—A Cor
respondent of the United States Econo
mist, writing from Memphis, Tennessee,
states that while the most liberal esti
mates of dealers in that quarter had not
until recently put the cotton crop now
being exported to more than 2,750,000
bales, it is now generally conceded that
the production of the past year was
3,260,000 bales. The Economist esti
mates the crop for the present at 4,800,-
000 boles, which is considerably above
the maximum crop before the war. In
1856, for instance, onr crop is set down at
3,880,580 bales, which is about the stand
ard.
A terrific hail storm occurred ten
miles west of this city, on the afternoon
<»f Thursday last Rev. J. W. Jordan
nought into oar office two stalks of oofc-
b»a, which came from the plantation of
-Mr. Alfred Harvey, and which was com
pletely stripped of leaves and fruit and
l-roken and braised by tho violence of
the storm. He thinks the greater part of
one hundred acres of cotton, wbifii flat-
t• re«l the owner with a fair yield on Thnra-
'V morning, presents nothing now but
broken, battered and bore stalks. He
<li<l not learn the extent of damage done
by the storm.
Death of William Ross.—The sad in
telligence of the death of this highly re
spectable citizen reached our city Friday
morning. He died at his residence near
Friendship, Thursday night, the 27th
instant of bilious fever. He was exten
sively known in this county for his many
good qualities. He had many friends
who will hear of his death with sadn<
and regret.
For many years he was an Elder of the
Baptist denomination. His remains were
followed to the grave by a large con
course of jorrowing friends and relatives
Friday afternoon, and was buried by
tho Order of Good Templars of which
society he was an honorable member.
He had passed his three score years, and
in now gathered to his fathers.

Mr. Editor : In your issue of the 29th
nit., “One of the Sold” calls for
planation about the big dinner at the
great “Union Singing" at Pleasant
Grove. If one can speak for all, I say
we had dinner for all, and liko the
we lu&d twelve months ago, when the
people asked the teacher (not the Mode
rator bid the people bring out their meat
and bread, etc.,) to have a general sing
ing festival all day amonsgt the neighbors
of Pleasant Grove, (not to meet the
at Americas with their carriages, buggys
and wagons, f o cany out people from all
parts of the globe to be fed and hauled
to and from the singing because the great
Moderator, Fed West, said so,) and that
they the people, not the great Moderator,
would bring out their baskets with a
lunch, which they did, and after the mul
titude had all eaten to their fill there was
raked up of the fragments forty baskets
foil But this was the people’s singing
honor of their teacher, not as it was
year, an insult and imposition npon
the people by the great Moderator. I
would like to know, Mr. Editor, if F.
West is the first Moderator ever heard of,
and if he is the only one on earth? I
guess so. He will ride ten or twelve miles
a church anytime to preach to one
man and a woman, and occasionally two
women and a little boy. Crowded houses
that! He has nearly broken onr people
from going to church, and thinka he is
doing the Lord’s bidding. He is about
as much fitted for preaching aa a donkey
for TTtraciw teaching.
Now if the people had asked Brother
West, excuse me, the Moderator, to hold
Union Singing, and told him to invite
every person in the county to it, we would
have fed them, for we have plenty of
meat and bread and good things, and onr
people cannot be beat when it comes to
fixing np basket dinners. But we claim
to be free and don't like to be ordered by
the Moderator. We have the ways and
the means and our ladies are industrious
and don’t mind trouble and expense
such matters. Yet they wont allow the
Moderator to order them. God bless
them !
Our wives arc tho smartest in the State.
Onr daughters the prettiest in the world.
(Don’t want to marry, either).
Our children don’t respect orders with
out they come from a respectable source,
and their parents are the someway. So
that is the reason there was no dinner.

Mk Editor: The numerous friends
of the Republican are gratified at it's high
moral tone during the past few months,
and especially at the faithful and untiring
efforts you hsve made and are malting to
*tay tho overwhelming tide of Intemper
ance that threatens to deluge the land.
The fearful evils that follow in the wake
ofLiqnor—debt, loss of credit, broken
constitutions, desolate homes, heart-brok
en wives, suffering children, crime, mise
ry and ruin—nre seen of alL The ghast
ly visions of lost opportunities, alienated
friends, misspent time, wasted money, of
poverty and wretchedness—is forever flit
ting across the remorseful mind of the
helpless, hopeless drunkard. He looks
back with despair upon resolutions to re
form often made and os often broken.—
The yawning gulphis before him, it’s
brink no longer concealed by flowers, but
gaping in all it’s hideous horror, and yet,
unmindful of the entreaties of wife, child
ren and friends, ho hurries on ! Is there
nohelp ? There is ! instantaneous, sure,
complete relief. He “who came to seek
and to save that which was lost, ’* who
not to call the righteous but sin
ners to repentance, ’’ who has promised
that He 44 will in no wise cast out those
who come to Him, ” who 44 is able to do
exceeding abundantly beyond all we ask
or think, ” who struck with overpowering
conviction the persecuting Saul, revolu
tionizing in a moment all his deep-rooted
prejudices and converting the unrelent
ing persecutor into the faithfnl noble
Apostle of the creed of love, who in every
age has Illustrated the oompletem
His atonement and the power of His sal
vation—is still ever ready to deliver and
ive. “ His grace is sufficient for you. ”
Strengthened by His spirit with might
i the inner man, ” you can successfully
resist the wiles of the Adversary. Trust
Him, in His gracious promises, in His
infinite love, in His Almighty power.—
When disordered nerves, the unnatural
thirst for stimulants, disappointment,
and perplexity assail you, “ watch
and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. ”
Here is the true hope of the drunkard.—
There is a power that can change the heart
—that can “ create within ns dean hearts
and renew within ns right spirits." This
precious truth is exemplified in the histo
ry of many of the noblest and best men
who have adorned society—men who have
been snatched as brands from the burn

world.

TO THE PUBLIC.
Communicated.
Mr. Editor : In your paper of the
28th nit., I noticed a communication from
H. D. Randall, the Clerk and Treasurer
of the City Council, purporting I pre
sume, to be an answer to the enquiry
made by your correspondent in reference
to the issuing of tho new City Change
Bills. The communication of the Clerk
and Treasurer throws no light whatever
on the subject I am as ignorant now as
to the reason for the issuing of these bills
as I was before the appearance of his
communication.
Your correspondent did not desire to
examine the records of the Clerk and
Treasurer to see whether that officer kept
correct books, neither did ho desire in
formation about City affairs, but what he
is desirous of knowing, and what the tax
payers of the City have a right to de
mand is, by whose authority was the thir
ty-fire hundred and fifty dollar* of Change
Bills issued? and what necessity was
there for these bills, if there is
hands of the Treasurer, a sufficiency of
Greenbacks to redeem them ? Why not
give the Greenbacks at onco ?
The Clerk and Treasurer says that
not one dollar of new Currency has been
issued in excess of old and retired, and
which was issued under former adminis
trations." If this is the case, where are
the thirty-five hundred dollars of old
Cnrrenoy (for that is tho amonnt of the
new) issued by “former administrations"?
Are they destroyed, in the Bank, or
usedhj certain parties for speculating
purposes ?
Now, Mr. Editor, I contend that the
Council liss no right to issue change bills,
whenever they feel disposed to do so.
The City taxes ore paid in Greenbacks,
and the same cnrrenoy should be used in
paying the expenses of the city govern
ment
Now, Mr. Editor, I stated in my first
communication that these change bills
were issued without consent of a major
ity of tho Board of Council. I am ready
to make good my statement
A Citizen.

the gin house was burned; that Mr. Mims nev
er offered him anything or said anything
ponent about burning Bryant’s house.
Deponent further swears, that on the day ho
was arrested by said Bay. Mr. Mose Bryant,
while said Bay was taking him to his house, said
twat he wanted to talk fc deponent, and depo
nent told him very well, he would hear it. Said
Bryant told him to go on, that he would be
where he was going and get him after awhile;
said Bryant came over to Bay’s in about an half
hour after deponent got thcro and took deponent
ont and aaked him what was the matter he had
not been over to see him (Bryant). Deponent
said he had to work hard and worried, and had
not walked about anywhero much; that he had
been laying off to go over there. Bryant said
ho had been a mighty good friend to my people
and likewise to me; that my mother and step
father lived near him, and that they never got
into any scrapo or difficulty but what they came
to him (Bryant) to get them out. That he (Bry-
aut) came along by deponent the evening be
fore the gin house was burned down at night,
and that it looked like deponent could hardly
speak to him; that he (Bryant) went on, and
said himself that there must be something the
matter with Emanuel, for what made him so
“loth" in speaking to him ; (that although Bry
ant eo stated, this deponent did speak to h : m
on tho evening aforesaid) after the above conver.
nation deponent said, “ Is that the reason you
think I burned down the gin house, because you
[Bryant]say I was slow in speaking to him?
Bryant said, no; I do not so yon burned it down
from not spooking to me. Bryant then insinu
ated that I, deponent, either stack the torch tc
tho gin house, or knew who did do it. I told
him I did not do it aither. Bryant then said he
wanted to get at the root of it. I told Bryant
from first to last, so far as I am concerned that
I knew nothing about it.
Deponent farther swears, that Mr. Bay told
him, that he (Bay) did not sa> that deponent
horned down the Gin House, but that ir depo
nent kaew anyone that had any hand into it,
that he Bay (u witness would tell it] would get
