grim monster intercepted him.
The up-passenger yesterday on the W. & A.
It. R., contained the Indiana Editorial excur
sion, consisting of sixty-five editors ofjournals
in the Hoosier State. Toe party is, we under
stand,called the Tom Scott excursionists. We are
sorry they made such a flying trip through the
country. The editorial excursion of last spring,
irom New York, was, we have reason to be
lieve, prometive of much good feeling between
the people of the sections, and, in our humble
opinion, had much to do with the democratic
victories in that part of the country.

Does not the Gainesville Eagle mis
represent old John Robinson, the
show man, when it says that he is
the Republican candidate for Mayor
of Cincinnati? It is forcibly im
pressed upon our mind that we have
seen a manifesto from John, in which
he says that he is and has been a life
long Democrat.
They do quick work in Gainesville.
A chap named Ghormsley, robbed a

of two weeks.
An Indian came to a certain agent
in the northern part of lowa to pro
cure some whisky for a young war
rior who had been bitten by a rattle
snake. 11 Four quarts!” repeated the
agent with surprise! “as much as
that?” “Yes,” replied the Indian,
“four quarts—snake very big.”
The New York Legislature refused
to pass the law allowing wives to tes

were interested, and now Beecher will
have to fight it out alone, if it takes
him all summer, which we very
much fear will be about the time re
quired to wind the nastiness up.
On opening the Chancery clerk’s
office at Vicksburg, it was found that
the office had been entered by burg

last issued, and the blanks now be
ing used, were missing.
Some months ago Grant could find
no authority for the issuance of gov
ernment rations to some starving
Southerners, but Belknap, with the
approval of “all of us,” telegraphed
the other day to the Ordnance Depart

powder for the firing of a salute up
on the passage of the civil rights bill.
Capt. James Mitchell, the only sur
vivingsonof the late John Mitchell,
arrived in New York, on the 22nd

the death of his farther from a pilot

leaves only two children—Capt.
James Mitchell and his sister, the
Wifeofa Louisville (Ky.) gentleman.
The Rome Courier pleads hard for,
and ad vancessome very sensible argu
ments towards the erection of a cot
ton factory in that city. Would that
we had some men here that would
take the interest of the country so at
heart, as to get up such an institution
—at Cooper’s old site, if not immedi"
ately in this city. We think it an
outrageous waste of the advantage
that a good Being has placed at the
command of mortals, that some use
is not made of that splendid location
for a factory of some kind, known as
the Etowah or
For us, a stranger, to tell the people
here anything about Cooper’s location
would be simply rediculous. We
have seen it but once, but with a de
scription of what was once there, and
that sight of the place, even in ruins,
any fool could see that the right sort
of enterprise could make it again one
of the most magnificent manufactur
ing seats in the South, if not in the
world. Have we not some men of
public feeling enough to try and find
out some such men as the English
man (Mr. Scott) the Rome Courier
speaks of, and get them to go out to
the old place and see for themselves?
What are Major Cooper’s views on
the subject? will he not tell us in a
communication ?
Every time we hear of “what has
been” at the old site of Maj. Cooper’s,
we feel that there is a constant waste
of raw material In Massa
chusetts, that site would be regarded
as worth a million. Why may it not
be made so here?
The Columbus, (Miss.) Independent
tells us that Capt. Joe Leigh, of Mis
sissippi, proposes to give to each 100
families of good Scotch emigrants,
eighty acres of land, as an induce
ment to them to emigrate to that
State. Don’t you think three quar
ters of an acre of land to a family rath,
er slim, viewed as an inducement?
It is not as much as many of them
would require for a garden spot.
Then again, assume that you meant
that he would give eighty acres to
each family, and he has only 5,000
acres of land, what becomes of the
extra 3,(XK) acres ? W’e rather expect
Willingham’s jour.(we copy from the
Courier) put one 0 too much to the
number of families who were to re
ceive the eighty acres—and that is a
poor inducement. We know of men
who will give forty acres of land to
each family of emigrants as long as
the land lasts. We have often thought
a better class of emigrants might be
induced to go to Missisippi, if the
land owuers, who prate so much
about emigration would act instead
of talk so much 0 There are men in
Louisiana and Mississippi, who still
own immense tracts of land, which
keeps them poor, paying the enor
mous taxes put upon them
by radical office holders,
who make speecnes about tho
probable improvement of the po
litical phase of the country, by im
porting white emigrants, but who do
not act. A proper course, such as
suggested by Geo. Torry of Miss., and
a few others of his stripe, would have
had a white working majority in both
these States ere now. But many of
them are like the stay-at-home he
roes of the late war. They were to
take care of the families of those who
did the battling—but those who left
their families at the tender mercies
of such braggarts “knowhow it is
themselves.” A proper spirit on the
part of large landowners would bring
as great an emigration to the South
as has heretofore been to the grass
hopper eaten Northwest, and we
hope to see it prove.
Brownlow writes of the civil rights
bill: All cases arising in the country
under this law will go to the bench
of the Supreme Court, where they
will be reviewable, and where justice
will be done to both parties. One
fact is worthy of consideration, and
that is this: The bill confers no ad
ditional rights. Laws have already
been enacted by Congress, which up
on examination, will be found to
confer all the rights that this bill pro
poses to give. The best thing the
colored population can do, is to ac
cept the situation in which these laws
place them, and to reverence and
obey all the laws of the land —careful-
ly avoiding everything calculated to
array the prejudices of the whites
against them, or to bring about un
pleasant relations between them.
We hope no colored man will adopt
the course hinted and foreshadowed
by the recent self constituted com
mittee at Washington threatening
Congress and the whole country
with bloodshed and ruin, unless
their peculiar views are conformed
to in every respect.
A Washington dispatch dated
March Bth, says: “The most signifi
cant politicial movement that has de
veloped yet is the arrangement made
for a private meeting of prominent
Pennsylvania Republican politicians
at Philadelphia, Wednesday evening
of this week. Invitations have been
extended to other prominent Repub
licans outside of that State, and it i s
understood that the object is to set
up Mr. Blaine as the man who can
rally the most strength for the Pres
idency for 1876. Simon Cameron is at
the bottom of the move, he having
lately received a slight at the hands
of the president. Bingham, late,
Postmaster at Philadelphia, is engin
eering the meeting.
We read in our exchanges, an ac
count of a very disastrous tornado in
the Ouachita country of Louisiana,
by which a great amount of property
was lost, and numbers of persons
killed and wounded. Possibly it was
the same destructive wind which
passed through a portion of South
Carolina and Georgia last Saturday
week. We fear that we have not
yet heard of all the disaster and de
struction caused by that terrible cy
clone.
We were not sorry to read in the
New York Sun of last week, that W.
J. Sharkey, the fugitive murderer,
who escaped from jail after convict
ion, through the connivance of his
mistress, Maggie Jordan, has been ar
rested in Havana, and will be brought
back to New York. He had gone to
Santiago de Cuba, with a view of es
caping thence to South America.
Maggie fled with him to Cuba, and
doubtless if he had treated her as he*
should have done, he would not now
have come to grief, but he abused
her most shamefully, and escaping
from his clutches she returned to
New York, and gave a clue to his
whereabouts. Now he is on his way
to New York, and of course will be
hanged. When he escaped in Mag
gie’s clothes, he was awaiting sent
ence, having been convicted of mur
der. The prospect of his hanging,
however, depends solely upon the
Governr of the State, and our opin-
is, that like Gov. Dix, he is a
hangist-at least we hope he is on this
occasion—for, if we remember aught,
Sharkey’s murder w’as done under
peculiarly atrocious circumstances.
From the present appearances, we.
are not likely to get rid of the effects
of the Beecher-Tilton scandal suit in
years. The statements made by sev
eral of the witnesses, are taken as
ground work for various scandal suits,
and they will be vigorously prose
cuted. A relative of Miss Lovejoy,
“the school girl of seventeen, who ac
companied Tilton to Winstead,” will
prosecute Tracy and Beecher’s law r
yers for gross libel, and the “Juve
nile Guardian Society,” threatens
Rev. Sam Holiday with prosecution
for branding that association as a
humbug. Poor Moulton led the van
in the side-show prosecution to the
tune of several thousand dollars.
When will the thing end? We un
derstand that, already one volume of
the evidence before the jury in the
grand case, has been published, pro
fusely illustrated. The whole thing
bids fair to rival the celebrated Lou
isiana “ Gaines” case.
“Playing cribbage with his relative
by marriage ’’was the pressing occupa
tion of the President when he “de
sired to be excused” from hearing
the complaints of those two thousand
unpaid negro laborers who called at
the While House the other evening.
Playing cribbage! What could be
more appropriate after his District
favorites had “cribbaged” the money
due the clamorous laborers and which
had been voted for their especial re
lief by Congress, at the expense of
the people of the whole country ?
A negro petitioner in the crowd,
on learning the President’s occupa
tion, broke forth into the nursery
rhyme, “The King sat iu his parlor,
with his pockets full of gold,” etc.
Grant may go on with his game of
cribbage, turning a deaf ear to every
complaint of the suffering people,
but as the New York Herald remarks,
1876 will give him the satisfaction
of “pegging out,” and making speedy
preparations for a go.
The Cincinnati Enquirer thus at
tempts to soothe any very furiously
loyal persons who have professed to
feel great alarm for the safty of the
country because a large number of ex-
Confederate soldiers have been elec
ted to Congress: “The great mass of
the intellect, wealth and manhood
of the South was engaged in tne
late war against the Federal Govern
ment. To exclude it from partici
pation in the general administration
is really to exclude that great section
of the Union itself. We don’t want
to make ex-President Lincoln and
ex-Secretary of State Seward liars
when they announced to foreign
Governments that the vacant seats
of the Southern Representatives in
Congress were only waiting for their
return ; that no opposition would be
interposed by us to their return, but
that the war was being waged for that
purpose. For the first time since 1861,
these vacant seats in Congress are to
be filled in the pursuance of these
promises, and besause of it there
should be congratulation from one end
of the Union to the other.”
A NKW ATTORNEY GENERAL.
A Washington telegram brings
the rumor of a vacancy in the Attor
ney-Generalship. It will be good
news to the South, if the natural
malice and cold blooded policy of
Mr. Williams is at an end. Wil
liams is booked for a foreign mission.
Two applicants are spoken of as his
successor,Carpenter, the defeated Sen
ator in Wisconsin, and Beast Furious
Butler. The former is by far the
most preferable to the people of the
South, as he is opposed to the Civil
Rights Bill, the resolution recogni
zing the Kellogg usurpation in Lou
isiana in many other extreme meas
ures of the late Congress. Of the lat
ter we have not much to say, as the
thought of his name in this connec
tion, brings up his past record and
fully portrays an unpleasant future
in his official acts as regards the
South.
More fuss is made about the expe'
ditions to the Black Hills of Dakota
than the importance of the matter
deserves. It has even been made
the subject of a Congressional inquiry,
and the President has transmitted,
in an answer to a request from the
Senate, the documents in the Depart
ment of War and the Interior having
reference to the subject. By order
of the Secretary warned not to tres
pass on the Indian reservation, they
not only do it at their peril, but the
troops of the United States have or
ders to expel them by force. In the
meantime, the government is nego
tiating with the Indians for the sale
of these lands—a negotation which,
like all others between such parties,
will prove a one-sided affair. All
turkey to the United States, and all
crow to the Indians.
In Delaware, an ingenious method
of avoiding the Civil Rights Bill is
before the Legislature of that State.
It defines “customers of inns, public
conveyances, theatres, ect., and au
thorizes proprietores of the same to
conduct them iu accordance w r ith the
ideas of a majority of their patrons
and the public. Carriers of passen
gers may make such arrangements
in their business as will, if necessary
assign a particular place in their
cars, carriages or boats, to such
customers as they may choose to
place there, and whose presence else
where would be offensive to the
major part of the traveling public,
where their business is conducted.
The quality of the accommodation
must, however, be the same for all if
the same price is charged.
The negroes of Washington City
have been playing the Civil Rights
upon the barber shops in that city.
Bruce, who is a darkey, a full blood
ed negro, availed himself of the priv
ilegegranted by the bill, and sat down
in the barber chair of the shop used
by the members, the day after he was
sworn in and had his hair nicely curl
ed by his cole red friends, and has
been since then an occupant of one of
the chairs for at least an hour every
day. As soon as he arrives in the
morning he has his hair nicely curled
by his colored friends, and before he
leaves in the afternoon he gets fixed
up again for dinner. Some of the
more fastidious Senators who visited
the place a few mornings ago were
astounded at the unusual sight of a
“nigger” in the Senatorial barber
shop. The combs and brushes with
which they were accustomed to be
adorned were deftly flying through
his kinky hair and over his swarthy
face. The result is that they have
given the Senate barber shop a wide
berth, and held an indignation meet
ing on the subject.
The original of the Declaration of
Independence, which has been in the
patent office at Washington for years,
has faded so that the signatures are
scarcely visible, and a skilled peu
man is to go over the document with
the aid of a strong microscope, and
retrace all the signatures so as to
make them distinct and legible.
The Cabinet and leading Radical
Senators were forced to make States
out of New Orleans and Colorado.
Three hundred thieves from Arkan
sas have been out of employment,
with old Brimstone Brooks, for
months past, in Washington. Each
wanted an office in one of the Terri
tories, and Grant said “let us have
peace,” and transformed the Territo
ries into States, and the thieves are
dying by scores.
Camilla, Ga., has a second edition
of the same disgracefcl performances
which occurred in this place on Christ
mas eve last, being even worse than
those here. In one instance obstruc
tions were placed upon the rail road
track ; a flue was removed from the
boiler of a mill, which caused the
boiler to burst, and has rendered the
mill useless since. A few’ years in
the penitentiary would cure these
chaps of their excessive love of fun,
and we hope they will be caught and
placed there.
Capt. Smith, who is ever active in
representing the interests of Rome
wherever he goes, whether on busi
ness or junketing with the New York
City board of trade, presented Mr.
Scott with a railroad ticket from New
York to this place so that it shall
cost Mr. Scott nothing to come down
and see for himself. So w’eare daily
looking for Mr. Scott. If all of our
business men would meet such men
as Mr. Scott with the encouragement
that Capt. Smith does, we should
soon induce a great deal of capital
and skilled labor to build up oqj’
town.
If Mr. Scott comes here with the
proper credentials, which good Eng
lishmen never neglect to bear, it is
hoped our citizens will extend to him
a cordial welcome and give him every
possible encouragement. Being a
practical manufacturer, he is just the
kind of a man we want to come
among us, and cast his fortunes
with us. Such men build up a city
more than men of capital who horde
up their means for usurious specula
tion. They are producers of wealth
and the promoters of pros perity.
Oh, for one such man as Capt.
Henry H. Smith.
We copy a portion of the article
referred to elsewhere from the Rome
Courier , relative to Mr. Scott, an
Engish manufacturer. We will state
that a number of Philadelphians
agreed to take SIOO,OOO stock in a
factory, wherever Mr. Scott pro
poses to locate it. Again we say, why
cannot we get some such man as Mr.
Scott to come in to Bartow and look
for himself; surely the old county,
which has such a splendid reputation
abroad, can induce men of his stamp
to at least come to it, and look at the
advantages possessed by it for the
manufacturer. Possibly this same
Mr. Scott could be induced to ,at least,
take a passing glance at our superior
advantages, and if not taken hold of
by him, his acquaintance among the
manufacturing population of Eng
land is such that might so represent
us to them that they would be glad
to invest some of their surplus capi
tal with us.
Scandal. —The story is told of a
woman who freely used her tongue
to the scandal of others, and made
a confession to the priest of what she
had done. He gave her a ripe this
tle-top, and told her to go out in
various directions, and scatter the
seeds; one b> one. Wondering at
the pennance, she obeyed, and then
returned and told her confessor.
To her amazement, he bade her go
back and gather the scattered seeds;
and when she objected that it would
be impossible, he replied that it would
be still more difficult to gather up
and destroy all the evil reports which
she had circulated about others.
Any thoughtless, careless child can
scatter a handful of thistle-seed be
fore the wind in a moment, but the
strongest and wisest man cannot gath
er them again.
A CARD FROM TREASURER JONES.
To the Gentlemen of the Joint Finance
Committee of the General Assembly
now in Commission:
A communication to the Chronicle
& Sentinel , which appeared in that
journal of the 17th inst., signed “O/ie
of the Committee takes me to task
for various short comings.
As I desire to reply to his several
charges and point out misrepresenta
tions and perversions of fact therein
contained, 1 think lam entitled to

quired to meet a hidden assailant. I
therefore respectfully ask that the
author of that communication avow
himself and let me have fair play.
Being assured of his position he is, of

WHAT THE GREAT TORNADO LOOK
ED LIKE.
A letter says: “The writer convers
ed with fifty people of Hancock, War
ren and McDuffie counties who saw
the northern cyclone. The most in
telligent among them agreed that it
was cylindrical in shape, run immedi
ately along the ground, was half a
mile wide at the base, and halfamile
high. In the distance, and when ap
proaching, it looked like a vast col
umn of black smoke arising from
a pine forest on lire. As it approach
ed it was dimly illuminated with a
phosphorescent light, whilst in it,
as one man graphically said, ‘there
appeared to be a million matches
juststruck.’ These lights were from
the electricity. The horizon and sky
were everywhere overcast with other
dense clouds. From these the storm
cloud stood out as boldly as any well
drawn picture from its back groung.
It was not accompanied by thunder.
It traveled all of seventy miles per
hour. This was ascertained by com
paring the time it passed through
any given points apart. The roaring,
appalling noise it produced was by
the same causes that the noise of can
non balls are whilst flying through
the air. It was not more than three
hours passing over the entire State of
Georgia. If the reader will take a
rule and lay upon the map of Georgia,
seclecting any two given points
touched by the cyclone, he will see
that it traveled in a line as straight as
a cannon ball or a crow would fly.
The rule will point west through
Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana,
north of New Orleans, and turn into
the Gulf of Mexico, between that
city and Galveston. Ail the hur
ricanes and cyclones which pass over
Georgia are bred in that Gulf”.
A Washington letter says: “The
opinion of leading members of Con
gress is that the depositors of the
Freedman’s Bank have now a very
slim prospect or receiving even a
tithe of their dues. The resignation
of the present commissioners is ca used,
as stated by them, solely by the fail
ure of Congress to provide such addi
tional legislation as was necessary
to the proper winding up of the con
cern. A member of the Senate
finance committee, in speaking of the
subject to-day, said the entire respon
sibility for the defeat of the requisite
legislation rested with Mr. Rainey,
the colored representative from South
Carolina. The senate finance com
mittee unanimously reported a bill
giving authority to compound debts,
to sell the real estate belonging to the
concern, and to bring criminal suit
against the dishonest officers of the
concern, and suits against those in
debted to it, and who would not pay,
although able. The bill passed the
Senate without the least objection. It
would have passed the House with
no more trouble but for the protest
of Mr. Rainey against it, who as
sumed to speak lor his race. The
Senator said that he had no doubt Mr.
Rainey bad been imposed ou by some
of the dishonest men who would have
been in some risk of being punished
if the bill had passed; but this did
not alter the fact that his injudicious
interference would be the means of
taking from his race a large propor
tion of what otherwise might have
been saved from the wreck of their
hard earnings. Th* Senator said that
he made no question uow that the re
maining assets of the concern would
to a very great extent be frittered
away. As to the government mak
ing good the losses of these poor, de
luded people, which many of them
have been led to think will be done, he
said that was, of course, a very ridic
ulous idea. The government would
have no more right to reimburse the
Freedman’s Bank depositors for their
losses than it would the depositors of
any other broken bank.”
Don Piatt’s Capital institutes an
odious comparison: “Lieutenant
Pearson, U. S. N., risking his life in
a gallant exploit, is offered a trump
ery decoration by Queen Victoria.
Congress declines to allow him the
barren honor of accepting it. Mr.
Fitch, Assistant Engineer, U. S. N.,
risking his promotion (over the left)
in the gallant exploit of wooing and
wedding Gen. Sherman’s daughter, is
(or his bride is, which is worse) offer
ed a decoration the reverse of trum
pery—value from $75,000 to $250,000
by the Khedive of Egypt. Congress
concludes to allow him (her) to accept
it and d—n the (Custom House) ex
pense ! Moral—Consistency, art
jewels.”
The fat always well g reased
A gentiCTron who rode his mare
in the course of an Eastern tour, ask
ed his Arab attendant if he was quite
sure she always got her allowance.
“Oh, yes,” he replied ; “my country
men often steal from one another and
rob their friends’ horses, but lean al
ways lind out if your mare has been
cheated.
“How?” “I always put some peb
bles in with the barley—seven or
eight —and count exactiy how many
I put in. The mare never eats the
pebbles, and if anyone steals the bar
ley, he is sure to take two or three peb
bles with it. If I find the pebbles
short in the morning, I have hard
words, and they cannot tell how I
know, so they give up cheating her.”
Within eighteen months we shall
see either a Presidential Dictator, Su
preme Military Chief of a Government
conducted by the White House, the
army and navy, or els? we shall see
the Northern States given over to in
