Whosh Horse —Wo lean that a freed-
man rode a fine horse to town on
Wednesday last and offered it for sale to
some gentlemen for five dollars. Think
ing that the horse was stolen one of the
gentlemen went in pursuit of the police
to have on investigation, but the negro
waa too smart for him, and mounted the
horse and rode off. As soon as the facts
of tho ease were made known to the chief,
one or more of the police forco went in
pursuit of the negro and overtook him
about four miles from the city and brough
back. After a little codsultation the
Marshal gave tho negro ten dollars, took
possession of the. horse, and let the freed-
man go at large. Ought not tlio Marshal
to have held the negro in custody until
it was ascertained whether the horse was
stolen or not ? It seems to us that would
have been tho proper course to have pur
sued. We give the facts ns they’ were
related to ns. The horse is said to be
worth over one hundred dollars. It is nt
one of our stubles where it can be seen
at any tirno. We have not seen the horse
and therefore cannot describe it.

Protracted Meeting—The colored
Baptists of Americas have, for the past
four weeks, been conducting regular night
meetings at their Church and the congre
gations seem steadily increasing. Many
attend from the city and vicinity. They
seem devout and orderly.
8®- A private letter received by us from
the editor of the “XIXth Century ” says:
“ The article on ‘ Philosophy of Radical
ism * was written by a son of G. C. Mem-
minger, Esq., late Secretory of the Con
federate State’s Treasury, and if you will
read it you will see that he does not
endorse that which it unfolds. The XIXth
Century is uncompromisingly Southern
and will remain so. No radicalism, no
conservatism, bnt out and out old Awe, if
yon please. ” •
Ballou's Magazine fop. Settbmbek.—
We welcome the September number of
"Ballou'* Magazine, for we always find
something in it to interest us and onr
household. It is filled with original
stories of love, of adventure and the sea,
and withal, has some ddzen or fnore il
lustrated articles, scenes in this or other
countries. The price of Ballou’s Mag
azine is so cheap that it should be in
every family in the country. It is only
61.50 per year, or 15 cents for single
copy, aud is for sale at every x>rincipal
periodical store in the countiy. Address

4*ay As will be seen from his advertise
ment, Mr. Wiley Chambliss will soon be
prepared to furnish all cash, paying cus-
tomers with the very best fresh meats.
As Wiley is an old and experienced
hand at the business aud understands the
wants of the community, we feel satisfied
that he will please those who are fond of
good fresh meat.
To his debtors he makes an appeal to
come forward, and pay up; that if they
do not, in a reasonable length of
time, be will advertise their names with
amount due. He says he trill publish all
them by our correspondent. We know j defaulters—that he has on his books six-

“ Observer” and Messrs. L. and W. Per- j ficed his property to buy the same meat
sOns sliouhl never bring charges against that ho sold to those who promise to do
officials without first having sufficient
facts to substantiate them.
If the charges brought against these
officials can bo proven, they shall be
made known, bnt if they are not correct,
then “Observer” should have the man
hood to do these gentlemen justice, by a
public retraction.

y-One of our young swells who
sports a sickly-looking mustache called
the barber, one afternoon, aud had his
pets cheaply colored. Ho had an eng
ment that evening to carry his intended
to church and according to promise went
to her house for tlrnt purpose. After en
joying the moonlight walk and much
lovers’ sentimentalism they arrived at the
church and took their seats. A very few
moments Imd elapsed when they happen
ed to look atone another, and were hor
rified nt the metamorpose. The young
gentleman’s moustache had assumed its
natural sickly color, while the young lady’
face had pnt otra heavy set of black mous
tache and goatee. She quickly put her
handkerchief to her face and left, her
young Adonis following after wi.h his
chin in his shirtbosom and a sheepish look
on tho countenance. Young men who
. ish to enjoy a pleasant walk with their
sweethearts, in going to church, should
not allow tho barber to cheaply-color
their young moustache.

Mb. Editor: Iu your issue of tho 11th
insfc., “ Observer ” charges us with prone
dorclidron of duty in the case of Day,
colored, and insinuates that thirty-fire dol
lars purchased his jrdca.se—the whole a
gross misrepresentation. Now for the
real facts of the case.
Complaint was made to ns by Mr. Jno.
C. Joiner, that while absent from his
etore-room a few days since that his mon
ey drawer had been pilfered of some five
dollars in change bills, and upon the evi
dence furnished by Mr. Joiner, we pro
ceeded to arrest the negro Day, who de
nied to the last having any knowledge of
the affair, bnt said he would reimburse
Mr. J. if he would not have him arrested,
to which proposition Mr. J. agreed, and
the amount was paid over on the spot.
Mr. J. being satisfied refused to pro se
en to or have anything to do with the mat-
We then carried the negro to Jus
tice Johnston and stated the case briefly,
who was in doubt as to tho legality of a
trial after the compromise. It must be
borne in mind that Mr. W. J. Boswortb,
Justice J’s balifT was present, and neither
or us were enjoined by the Justice
to hold the negro until he could investi
gate the case. Such being the situation
of affairs we proceeded with the negro to
advise with Mr. Randall and learn what
disposition to make of him. On our way
to Mr. R’s office wo met him and CoL
Cutts, and reported what had been done
to Mr. R. who refused to write any war
rant inasmuch as the Mayor and City
Council no longer had jurisdiction over
such eases and particularly as Mr. J. re
fused to appear as prosecutor—having al
ready settled the matter with the negro.
Upon these facts we felt no longer bound
to hold the negro and, therefore, released
him, directing him to proceed to Justice
Johnston’s, which he did, and if any
rant had been issued for his arrest, tlrnt
was the proper time to have arrested him.
“ Observer” should not place much re
liance on “ Dame Rumor ” «s she is very
unreliable. Day did say that he would
give the policemen thirty dollars in prefer-
to being held under arrest, and also
said that lie would give the same sum
Mr. Joiner if he would not arrest him.
But no thirty dollars was seen in his pos
session.
This is a true and correct statement and
we hope “ Observer ” will exercise a little
more “ legal acumen ” in future before he
parades us before the public.

Dear Sir—Wishing to encourage com

the best two gallon jars of preserves, made
by a Georgia Lady, and exhibited at onr
State Fair, in October next, a premium
of a fine Tapestry Brussels Carpet of the
value of one hundred dollars, to be
lee ted from our Carpet Storo by the s

Ocff* The true merit of any article is
readily established by its sales. We have
it direct from the proprietors that in the
lost three years nearly two hundred
thousand dollars worth of BARRETT’S
VEGETABLE HAIR RESTORATIVE,
has been manufactured, sold and con
sumed, and has given universal satisfac
tion. All who have used it. declare that
as a Restorer, Renewer, Regenerator,
Renovator and general Regulator of the
human hair it has no equal in the long
catalogue of Hair preparations. While
it is thorough in changing the hair to its
natural color, it imparts a luxuriant rich
ness; and to the- head a' cool fc'nd most
agreeable sensation.
Reader if yon need a Hail preparation,
just give “ 3ARRETTS ”«■ one trial and
yon will never desire any other, or be
pnt off with any other by your Druggist
