Editor Times :—There was a negro by the name of George Ilenson whip ped to death on the Georgia Western Rail road near the city yesterday. He had been sentenced to twenty years imprisonment at the last term of Ful ton Superior Court for an attempt to commit a rape upon a white woman. His Counsel moved for a newtiial and though the motion was overruled some of the cumulative evidence as to the exceedingly bad character of the woman in question had the effect of reducing his term fifteen years. He was sent a short time ago to Grant Alexander & Cos., and yesterday lost his life. He was buried before the Coroner knew anything of his death but was afterwards exhumed and this morning an inquest Mas held over his body. The Coroner’s Jury found that “he came to his death from blows inflicted by some person or persons to them unknown.” A. Mr Ivy has been arrested and will undergo a prelimi nary trial tomorrow morning on the charge of murder. The whole affair seems to be shrouded in mystery. Judge Hopkins yesterday heard arguments on a bid filed by the At lanta street Railway Company, against the Western and Atlanta Street, R. li. Cos., praying that the latter be en joined from building any line of street Railway in Atlanta, The complainants claim the exclu sive right to construct and operate street Railways in the city, while the other company claim equal privileges under a similar charter subsequently granted, lion. 13. H. Hill and his son, appeared for the complainants.— Judge Kioh’d H. C. Clarke and B. F. Abbott for Respondents. Judge Hopkins reserved his decis ion. Nothing else of interest. The health of the people continues to be good. J, A. A. — It Beats the Lottery. AN HUMBLE MACHINIST FALLS HEIR TO $52,090! DEATH OF A RICH UNCLE. It is seldom that the poor and de serving class of a community happens to a “ good streak of luck,” and the tickle Goddess of Fortune apparently aims her shafts above those whose condition in life would be benefitted by the bestowal of hei favors. AN IIONEST, IIARD-WOKKING MACHINIST, named Joseph P. Police, has been at work in the State Road shops in this city for a long time, and was account ed bv the “bosses” as one of their steadiest and most reliable workmen, who supported his small family by the daily sweat of bis brow. There was living in the city of Charleston, South Carolina. AN OLD UNCLE of Mr. Police, who fell sick and sent for his nephew to come to his bedside. Arriving at Charleston he at once re-' paired to the stately mansion of the sick man, and there found his relative on a dying bed. No time was lost in stating to the visitor why he was sent for, and was then told that he had left his entire estate, AMOUNTING TO $52,000, to him as his sole heir. At the same time he drew from under his pillow oversl,7ooin cash,besides several gold watches and other valuables. The old man at length died, and on examining into his effects, Mr. Police found himself the fortunate possessor of vast amounts of railroad and bank stocks, gold, real estate and a splendid man sion in the citv of Charleston, in all amounting to the above sum. Mr. Police, after rewarding his un cle’s faithful housekeeper to the amount of over two thousand dollars, made arrangements to return to At lanta where he arrived a much richer man than when he left. In looking through one trunk Mr. Police DISCOVERED 900 IN GOLD, which was rather a surprise, and which seems to have been overlooked in the deed. Os course this good fortune, if ju diciously handled will render Mr. Po lice comfortable the remainder of his life. It is stated that his uncle possessed large means in Europe, which will go to his relatives in that country. Mr. Police takes his new estate with much sang froid, and appears to be unconscious of his good luck. It might be well to say, however, that lie is, for the present “ taking a rest,” the weather being “little op pressive,” and he thinks lus constitu tion needs the least recreation in the world. —Atlanta Herald.

My First Lesson in Plowing. BY SANDY IIIGGINS. The art and mystery ot plowin g is a great institution, generally consid. ered. I dont know who invented it and don t feel called on to investigate the matter just now, though it must have commenced a long time back, when the world was fresh and green, and people had not got into the hab it of spending their time going about cheating each other, and calling it business. Whether Adam plowed in the garden, is a doubtful question, but I’ll bet it was one of Cain’s exercises after lie had the fracas with t’other fellow. There has been ranch said and written about the pleasures of “turn ing up the soil,” and “holding the p10w,.” and all that sort of things, but the most of it was written by men who wouldn’t know which end of the machine to hang the horse to, and who couldn t keeep a plow inside a two acre lot. One Dr. Franklin had a great deal to say on the subject? but from all that I’ve been able to learn about him, I would feel safe in betting odds that he couldn’t tefl from his experience, whether the horse pulled the plow, or the plow pushed the horse. lam free to ad mit, however, that plowing is an hon-, orable and praiseworthy business at which a great many more of us ought to be engaged for the good of man kind. But I got a distaste to it in the days of my youth and innocence, as I feci called on to relate. Most of n.y boyhood’s days were spent on a farm, and of all things on earth, a hoe handle was one ot my pet abominations. I hated it with all my might, and even bolted out ot the church one day, mad as thunder, because the preacher said “Ho ! every one that thirsteth !” Thought if I had him in the cotton patch, three quarters of a mile from the spring, about the twenty-second day of June I’d teach him more sense than to quote that Scripture where I was, at least. This being the state of affairs with me and like all other boys wishing to do something I was not put at, I was al ways teasing the older hands to let me try my hand at the plowing bus iness. Finding no rest for my op portunities, the commander in chief of the department one day decided that he’d satisfy me on that question, and have no more trouble about it. There was a fresh piece of white oak bottom land to be plowed out, where the roots were as thick and crooked as the bones in a hickory sucker, with plenty of stumps to keep them com pany, and an occasoiual grape-vine thrown in for good measure. In this delectabe spot it was decided to teach me—or let me teach myself—the rud iments ot agriculture. My outfit com prised an oldfashioned “undershot ’ plowstock, which was certainly in vented for the express purpose of breaking shins, and an old mule that was the bugbear of the whole planta tion. “Old Sol,” as he affectionately called, was about the eldest thing on the farm, having reached the sublime age of mule dom just passed the dy ing season, when the animal seemes to take anew lease ot lite, and hang on to then* worthlees existence to an indefinite period. He was blind in his other eye, deaf in both ears, and stiff in every limb but his hind teet, which had a habit of flying up into the air when least expected. Added to all this, he was as lazy as cold mo lasses, and had a hide on which no stick could make an impression, and a temper that was proof against all manner of insult. I believe these are all the good qualities 1 can call to mind at present, if I except a pecu ucliar and irresisibie manner he had of getting his back up when he was in a hurry lor somebody to dismount. Thus armed and equipped, I set out to reap my first crop ot laurels as plow-boy. I did nt consider it at all dignified to walk to the field, for I had always seen others ride to and from their work, and why shouldn’t I ? I did, you bet ! I wasnt going to form an exception to the general rule, so I led ‘‘lsrael’s King” to a convenient stump and placed him under my leg?, telling him to move on. He evidently thought I was going to water with him, for he walked on very leisurely for a few rods and then, finding we were not going towards the watering place, he stopped to consider the matter. I wa ted a little to see if he wouldn’t make another advance movement, but beheld his ground, sol gave him a dig in the ribs with both heels, with a sound like striking a bass drum with an old hat, telling him to move on. lie obeyed in a manner that I dicin’ expect, for his back went up like a measureing worm, and the next thing I knew I was turning sum mersets in the air, coming down broadside of my back about a rod in front, while .Sol deliberately walked back to the house. I sent a shower of blessings after him, as I reclined on my back, but finding that didn’t stop him I got up and trudged back to where he stood, with all the gravity of a justice of the Peace at his first court, waiting for me. He appeared not only willing, but anxious, that I should take my seat on his back-bone again, but I thought it would require a smarter mule than ever ho was to fool me twice in one day. I didn’t care to drive him, for I had whole some fear of his hind quarters, so I tried leading him to his destination. He went along pretty well, occasion ally stopping to reflect, kut I finally succeeded in enticing him to the place of operations ; but here anew difficul ty presented itself, for I didn’t know how to harness him up. It took me about a half an hour to get his head through the collar, and I thought 1 should be compelled to amputate bis ears before I could accomplish it; but after a good deal of patience and in genuity I finally got him and the plow together. Then I took my place be tween the bandies, with a line in each haad, and told him to “git,” but he only looked around as if to inquire what I was up to, evidently thinking I had made a mistake. However, af ter studying the matter over beseem ed to comprehend what was required of him and moved off at pretty fail pace, his long ears waving gracefully in the air, reminding me of an old pair of breeches,hung out to dry.— We progressed finely for a few rods and I was begining to whist.e a tune, as all plowboys should do and wish ing that somebody was there to look at me, when my machine cast anchor under a root, and came to a dead halt. I had been keeping close up to my work, fearing the thing would go ofi and leave me, and when the thins: stopped so suddenly 1 kept on till I lammed both shins against the end of tiie beam, while one handle gave me a savage dig in the left flank, nearly giving me a good case of the colic, and dislocating twe or three buttons. My tune came to a very abrupt ter mination m a sharp key, and I tunib led down on the ground and rubbed my battered shins with astonishing vigor, wondering why they were not put be laud me when I was manufactured, at the same time calling down left handed blessing on the inventor of undershot plowstocks. After wait ing awhile old Sol made another heavy pull, but the anchor refused to drag, so he looked around as if to inquire what I intended to do next, and seeing how I was occupied, he fell to biting off all the corn within reach, appear ing very well satisfied with the situa tion. When I had rubbed some of the pain out of my underpinning, I tried to pull my subsoilen out but it had a good “liolt” and stuck to it. Then I thought of hitching the mule to the other end, but there was no way to go at it, so I braced myself and made a big surge backward. The plow came out very unexpectedly and I lay down on my back, with the infernal thing on top of me, expecting the mule to finish the job by rolling over on pile, but lie didn’t for a wonder. Just then I heard Tom Jones call out from the road : “Hello, Sandy, what are you wrast ling with that plow for ?” “The cussed plow is loose, and I’ve stopped to fix if,” said I. “Well,” replied he, as he rode off, “you are the first boy I ever saw lie down to work on a plow* stock !” I was too much disgusted to argue the matter with him, so I got up and soon had things straightened out for a fresh start, and we moved on. As my shins hadn’t quit hurting I kept them as far back as possible, leaning well over in front, thinking I had the dead wood on it at last. Vain thought! Something caused the plow to make a vicious bound and one handle chug ged me under the chin, nearly driving my teeth up, and causing me to bite my tongue halt off. It was all done so quick that I didn’t have time to dodge’ but I gave the mule a rap w ith the line, thinking he was the cause of the misfortune.— Immediately his heels went up like a brace of frightened partridges, nar rowly missing my nose and taking my hat with them. I very naturally looked up to see if my head was in the hat, but it was still on my shoul - ders, which relieved me no little. I didn’t swear a bit, and was beginning to congratulate myself on my self con trol and good temper, when the plow struck a slanting root with a. eat-a coruered side-wipe, which sent me about a rod, and caused me to grunt like a horse with a blade of fodder in his wind pipe. I lay still and swore a while, then I picked up the crook edest root I could find, and threw it at the old mule’s head, with no other effect than bending bis long cars in three or four places, as it wound among them. He merely shook liis head, seeming to like that as well as anything I could be at, while I won | dered in my inmost heart if all plow ing was like that. But my dauder was up., so I remarked. “Never mind, Solomon, I’m going to learn how to plow, I am, so here goes for a fresh start.” So saving, I disengaged the under shot, gave Sol another slap, and on we went, but my troubles were not ended yet. The plow kept dodging about like a dug-out boat in high wa ter, but I bung to the handles with the grip of fate till both my hind feet got tangled in a grape-vine and down I came, with my head on a plow han dle, with a force that threatened to knock out what few brains I started with. The vines held their grip, the mule wouldn’t stop, so I came down with my nose in the soil, while Solo mon gave a look of supreme contempt as much as to say, “ Old fellow, I guess there’s no honor or profit in fooling away my time with you, when I can do better by myself, so I’ll march on ; ” and on he went, dragging the machine along a corn row, demol ishing every hill as he went. Right then I lost what little remnant of tem per I possessed, and fairly rolled over in the dirt with vexation. When I got tired of that amusement I went on after my team, waiting for me to ungear him This I did as fast as pos sible, and taking him back, I deposi ted him in the lot with a parting bles sing for his many favors, while I went to the house and inquired for a hoe. That ended] my education at the plow-handle. I feel a good deal like Doe. Barbaree did when lie set out to learn the blacksmith’s trade. He struck at the anvil half a day, then threw down his sledge and swore he had learned the trade, and was darns ed sorry of it. I graduated at the very begining of my studies, and, al though I didn’t get a diploma for my profile iency, I felt that I had mastered all the heavy part of the business.— Since then I have kept as far from plow-stock as possible, and would at any time prefer a tussle with a half grown bear than encounter another un dershot plow-stock in a white oak bottom. If I ever do any plowing it must be with a machine that I can ride on, and then I must be assured that there are no mules or roots in the same field. W Ho isted by his own Petard. The papers contain a lengthy eorresponeence between Gov. Smith and ex-Gov.Circuit Judge Herschel V. Johnson in which the Governor shightly elevates the ex-Governor into the circumambient air and after letting him flutter awhile dropped him into the mud. The cause of the cor respondence was the very unwise and foolish fling that Judge Johnson made at Gov. Smith at the bar banquet in Macon, a short time since. In the course of the banquet Judge Johnson was toasted and in reply among oth er things observed that when he was Governor “he never deceived one with false promises” thus by implicas tion hinting that Gov. Smith did.— At least it was understood by many who Mere present and additional weight Mas given to the allusion from the fact that Johnston was an appli cant for the Supreme Judgeship and only got a circuit, and some of his friends had stated that Smith had promised him the higher office.— Fro iff the correspondence it appear that Johnston’s remarks were partial ly dictated by such feelin :s as Smith’s friends anticipated, yet he someudiat ungraciously denies the imputation, but alludes to the great degeneracy of the times as compared to those when a Johnston occupied the Gub ernatorial chair. Smith acknowedges the degeneracy, and deftly alludes to the proof of this fact in the great im portunity of public men for all the offices in the gift of the Governor. — Smith gets a decided advantage in the correspondence, and shoM r s up John ston in no enviable light. We know nothing of M’hether Smith made any promises to Judge Johnston and care less, but it strikes 11s he has salted the Judge down pretty heavi ly.— Griffin JVeics. Robert E. Lee— .

For as vrell could you fetter the SMeet wind of the south and bind it iu spring time, not to awaken to life and joy the bird and floweret of the Northern forest, as to exclude the fragrance ot the life and character of Robert E. Lee from the hearts and minds of men and women of every section of this country. —Sens ator Bayard of Deleware, at Lexing ton College. A New PoHtical Movement- Formation of a Libera 1 De mocracy Urged. Hon. W. S. Groesbeek, of Ohio, a very prominent man in the West, and one whose record entitles his opinion to the respect and consideration of all conservative and thinking men, lias promulgated a letter in connection with his refusal to run for Governor of Ohio, suggesting the formation of a new political party. He assumes that the historical Democratic organization is spoiled, blundering constantly du ring the last ten years and shattered by many defeats, it surrendered finally at the Presidential election. I cannot recall that surrender or the confessions then made, and it has no longer strength enough for victory.— In this extremity it will be M’ise to lay aside the old organization and en ter into anew one. The new organ** ization should accept the results of the Mar as was done at Baltimore, and it should accept them in good faith, and so as to command the confidence of the people. The new' organization should be something different from a recast of the old one. There should be no exclusiveness about it, nor should it be merely Democratic. It should be made up of present Demo crats, and of all Republicans Mho are offended by the policy and tendencies of the present administration. The new organization should be the joint work of Democrats and Repub licans, and both should be equally at home 111 it—neither the guest of the other. You ask what should be its name. Call it the Liberal Democracy: that M ill mean the free, unselfish gov ernment of the people. The question of negro suffrage is no longer before the people. It has been made a permanency, and will endure as long as general suffrage. lie does not think it wise in such a government as this to keep permanent ly so large a part of our people in an inferior degraded condition. Slavery urns always a danger. To hold this population now free iu a degraded condition would be a greater danger and always trouble 11s. They oppose all forms of monopoly. This is too plain to need argument. Monopolies are an outrage and an offence against the people. The new organization should oppose centralization, and it should advocate home government in all local affairs, and to the utmost ex tent it is practicable. You cannot keep a people, free, sturdy and intelligent without home government. It is home government that trains us, teaches self-reliance and develops manliness. Take it away and the freeman disappears. The new organ ization should make free trade one of its cardinal doctrines. There should be no equivocation or double mean ing about this. A prohibitory tariff is in plain contradiction to thecharac ter of our government. We are all equal in rights, privileges and immu nities. There should be no discrimi nations, 110 favoritism, no partialities, personal or financial, and as a com mercial policy prohibitory tariff is be hind the age, almost a barbarism, and belongs to the times when nations were M'alled and commerce u r as u’ith out M’ings. He suggests the doctrine of a strict construction of the constitution and a faithful application of it as a preven tive of misgovernment. And con cludes by saying: I should be very glad to see the Democracy move out of its old organ ization into anew one. You M ill not succeed uuless they do it. May be they will refuse, and prefer to tarry M’here they are for the balance of the century, and until they can fix the meaning of the resolutions of ’9B. If so, I suppose I shall tarry with them. After all, I like them and I like the old political homestead. I confess it is somewhat dilapidated ; there are no banners upon its u'alls and victorious shouting is no longer heard within; but it is a home still, and I shall not leave it until it is pulled doM'n. ■ Desperation.—-An lowa editor re cently, to keep up with the styles, run aw ay with another man’s wife.
