A negro man constantly rotated, or turned

ceased rotating during the entire twenty-four
hours. What the negro gained by it we could
not understand, as no bet waspending, and the

kept locked, to keep out a crowd. He says he
believes lie could have kept up his rotations

THE MOUNTAIN MEADOW MASSACRE.
A bill passed by Congress in 1872.
which was introduced by Judge Po
land, had for its object to bring to
justice the prepetrators, who are
believed to be Mormons, of the hor
rible massacre of tlie emigrants at
Mountain Meadow, seventeen years
ago. The feeling among the so-call
ed Gentiles of Utah, is said to be as
determined in regard to the punish
ing of the offenders as it was in July,
1872. All but one of the alleged
murderers are still living, and foi two
years those engaged in seeking to
bring the offenders to justice have
been working to get together the
necessary proof and to secure the ar
rest of the officers of the murderers. A
few days ago two of Brigham
Young’s chief officers, who were in
dicted last October, were arraigned
for this great crime. It is stated by
a contempoary that one of the wit
nesses who is to appear, is a woman,
who at the time of the massacre was
thirteen years of age. For some rea
son not explained, the murderers
spared seventeen children after
murdering seventy-six women and
children and fifty-five unarmed men
and boys, and one of this number
(and it is not yet known how many
more)will be called, and will tell the
fearful story over again. The Mor
mons at the time and always since
have protested that the massacre
was the work of the Indians, but
the falsity of the statement has been
made clear, not alone by the confes
sion of the murderers who took part in
it, but by the facts found out in re
lation in the council of war held in
Salt Lake previous to the massacre,
and as well by the proof given in the
discovery of the motive which act
uated the dastardly deed. The real
cause of the bloody crime seems to
have been a desire for vengeance.
A Mormon elder, and a “prophet
of the Mormon Church,” who had,
while preaching in Arkansas, eloped
with the wife of a farmer there, and
who, returning to abduct the two
children of the disgraced mother,
was murdered by the people, is said
to have been the real origin of the
desire for vengeance which Brigham
Young gratified by murdering tills
unoffending band of men, women
and children.
The fall of Waddy Thompson has
been probably the greatest that has
ever taken place. He was not from
poverty compelled to adopt the
means which he pursued for money
making, but it seems, from the very
love of guilt,he has gone from step
to step, until his overthrow is no
doubt final. It is charged against
him that he is mixed up in the burn
ing of a vessel near New Orleans,
said to have been loaded with cotton,
but really with moss and cotton
seed. He attempted to get the in
surance money on this vessel, but his
attempt was successfully resisted.
The case for which he is now arrested
is for plain stealing—he having spir
ited away one night in October last,
ried across the river into Arkansas;
the real owner pursued and brought
them and Thompson back. He tried
to get free under the writ of habeas
corpus, but failed, and now lies in
jail at Memphis, Tenn., awaiting tri
al for horse stealing, attempting to
commit larceny, and for perjury.
\\ addy will find this a tight place
before he gets out of it.
Cost of Carelessness.— The wid
ow and children of a nassenger named
Kruger, lost with the steamship At
lantic, have recovered thenty-five
thousand dollars damages from the
White Star Company by a suit before
the Court of Queen’s Bench,London.
The Company admitted the fault of
the Captain, and tlie question at issue
was solely one of the amount of dam
ages. The Philadelphia Ledger per
tinently remarks that if each life lost
by the Atlantic were rated as that of
Kruger, who had an income from
his business of ten thousand dollars
per annum, the steamship company
would be liable for $14,050,000 dam
ages, but a lower estimate of damages
granted to the surviving relatives of
each passenger would amount to two
or three millions of dollars. The
collection of damages by the millions
ol dollars from steamship companies
whose agents neglect the precaution
necessary for tlie safety of their pas
sengers, might prove a better protec
tion from the dangers of shipwreck
than light houses,fog-horns or patent
life-preservers.
Protect your Paper Money
from the Rats. —A Rome barroom
in 1873, had suffered a loss from time
to time ot various amounts of money
greenbacks—and failed to find any
channel by which the sums had gone.
They closed up business, broke, al
though they had seemed to thrive.
They packed up their traps and
stored them away, after selling off
their stock at wholesale. Last week,
when a party was fitting up the house
occupied by the bar in 1873, for a tel
egraph office, he had occasion to
make some alteration in the counter,
which was the one used by the first
parties, when he discovered a largo
pile of fragments of greenbacks—bills
of various amounts from five to fifty
dollars, having been made into rats’
nests. These rats verified the saying
that no ultimate profit is ever made
nor benefit received from money
made by selling liquor.
It is proposed at Washington, in
order to prevent the smuggling of

there is one thing which the Ameri

strously Radical.

No Money for the Centenni
al.—The Baltimore Gazette is getting
discouraged with the prospect of the
Philadelphia show. The editor says:
“We speak of the centennial anniver
sary of the Declaration of Indepen
dence as a great event. The action,
or rather the non-action, of the States,
with respect to it, shows that they
look upon its formal observance with
indifference. Their contributions in
aid of it have been very few; in
most instances they contributed noth
ing at all. Instead of regarding it as
of national interest, they are disposed
to look upon it only as a local affair.
Some stand aloof, believing the expo
sition predestined to he a failure;
scarcely any welcome it so heartily
as to be willing to appropriate money
toward making it an assured success.
The South is poor and cannot help;
the West is rich and populous and
will not. They send commissioners
to represent them ; they will send for
exhibition the products of the field,
the forest, the work-shop and the fac
tory ; but to give money, no! ”
It is not so much the poverty (al
though there is a great deal in that)
of the South that prevents it from
taking hold of this matter, as it is
the “squelching” out of the fourth of
July from its feelings. No doubt
considerable money could bo raised
in the Southern States, to help this
Yankee show, if the old Revolution
ary feeling could be aroused in them;
but we often think, when this mat
ter comes to our mind, of the remark
made by Governor Peters, of the
State of Mississippi, when in Boston
about six months before the late war.
He was asked : “In the event of a
war between the sections, what will
you Southern people do with your in
terest in the Bunker Hill Monument
and the fourth of July ?” He replied:
“We’ll sell our interest in the Monu
ment and make another fourth of
July.” We must admit that we
have a desire to go to Philadelphia
to see the big show, but we can’t get
up an> “camp-meeting feelings” over
it. Fifteen years ago we would have
been willing to spend our bot
tom dollar in such a cause; but we
have sorter had those feelings squelch
ed out of us by his aecidency “Useless
G.” and his party.
A case of “foul play,” though not
altogether with tragic features which
enter into Charles Reade’s story, has
come to light on the Pacific coast.
The Captain and Mate of the bark
Union have been arrested on the
charge of wrecking the vessel to ob
tain tlie insurance money, and the
evidence seems to be conclusive
against them. They conspired to
gether to put her on the rocks; at the
second attempt were successful in
sinking her. Their plottings were
overheard by the cook, who has giv
en his testimony against them, and
one of the prisoners has made a full
confession. The penalty for this
crime is death, and the case is the
first that has occrured in America
for many years.
Mansfield, the partner and tool of
the notorious scoundrel Ben. Butler,
in New Orleans, was arrested in that
city for the same crime—betrayed by
his mate—not a great while ago. lie
was taken prisoner and confined in
the Jailor’s parlor ; a mob went to
the jail and demanded that he should
k*. i•-.sk, vr ivfiUW not, but
presume, as Mansfield had control of
great wealth and was a friend of But
ler’s, the matter was squashed. He
caused the wreck of a lumber ship
among the islands off the Mississip
pi river, the insurance of which was
one hundred thousand dollars. He
got the money. When last we saw
him, he was on board a steamer going
to one of his fine sugar plantations
on the Mississippi river. On board
the steamer was a splendid yacht,be
longing to his lordship, in which he
expected to return to the city of New
Orleans when he got through with
his business on the plantation. He
cut a wideswarth in' Louisiana on
stolen money —a la Ben. Butler, his
devoted friend and master.
Sound Talk from a Republi
can Senator.— ln a recent visit to
Washington, Senator Robertson, a
Republican Senator from South Car
olina, and a native, talked very free
ly about the present reform move
ment in his State. He acknowledged
that the picture of South Carolina as
given by the independent press of the
country, had been none too highly
colored, and added:
“Nearly all that outsiders know
about dissension, fraud and corrup
tion is true, and if it appears bad to
those who know so little, how must
it look to us, who are behind the
scene striving for a good government?
I tell you, sir, we must get rid of the
earpet-bag influence. It is baneful,
it is vicious, and there can be no true
reform until it is driven out. The
colored voter has learned t<> estimate
the true value of the carpet-bagger,
and he cannot be used as a mere" po
litical machine in the future as he
has been in the past. Give us a good
government, and they are the best la
borers we can have; and when we
do get a good government they will,
like all other laboring classes, vote
generally with their employers,
whether these belong to one or othe
of the political parties into which the
State may be divided. Being prop
erty-holders and tax-payers, a good
government, economically adminis
tered, is as important to one as to the
other.

THE NEXT GOVERNORSHIP.
[From the North Georgia Herald.]
Mks.su.-j Editors: -As an apology
for the present article, 1 would
remark that the press of the state
have opened, with some vigor, the
discussion of the question : “Shall
Gcv. Smith be his own successor, or
shall someone else be ; and if some
one else, who?” Thus the “people”
are tacitly invited to express their
views and preferences upon the sub
ject. This discussion is by some con
sidered premature. Not so, how
ever. It shows that the question is
to be thoroughly discussed, and de
cided understand ingly.
It may be questionable whether
Gov. Smith desires a re-election. I
know of no authentic declaration by
himself or friends, upon the subject
and therefore have nothing to say
in reference to him. Ex-Governor
Jenkins wisely declined the proffer
ed honor, leaving the matter just
where it was before his name was
suggested. Many names have been
suggested; and there is no doubt but
each section of the state can boast
one or more men, eminently qualifi
ed for the position. Prominent
among these stand Gen. L. J. Gar
trell, of Atlanta; and as northeast
Georgia presents no claimant for this
honor,and without wishing to dis
parage the claims or merits of others.
oagmh- vn Nxeu: uartrell should be
considered in making the selection
of a candidate, and why ho would
be fully acceptable and would re
ceive the united support of the de
mocracy of northeast Georgia. Gen.
Gartrell is well known to onr peo
ple and his record is satisfactory.
He is now in the maturity of his in-
tellectual power, and is admitted
by all the peer of any. He is law
yer, at the head of his profession, he
has that thorough knowledge of the
laws so necessary and indispensable
to every one who is called to execute
them. His sterling honesty is prov
erbial. Having been for many years
a member of congress, his experience
in public affairs is extensive. Hav
ing served in various positions du
ring the late war, his record on the
anomolous questions that interest
the southern people is peculiarly
gratifying. Xo Georgian can fear
that the honor or interests of Georgia
will be sacrificed or betrayed if con
fided to his keeping. A strict econo
mist in his private affairs, he will
carry into the administration of the
state affairs, the same strict econo
my, and require the most rigid ac
countability from all public servants.
Xo rings or combinations need be
feared if he is at the head of affairs.
Every man and every measure must
stand or fall, before him, on merit
alone.
1 think I express the feelings of a
large portion of the people of north
east Georgia when 1 say that Gen.
Gar troll is their choice among the
aspirants for governor.

The Democratic Central Commit
tee of Georgia has issued a circular
to the legal profession of tnc State,
calling upon them to use their influ

the lawyers that they must write the
political editorials in the Georgia
newspapers, and make as many
speeches to the people as they possi
bly can. The circular, aside from its
implied statement that the lawyers
own the newspapers, and the Demo
cratic party owns the lawyers, is an
extraordinary report from the stink

a curious piece of political literature.

Bite of tiie Rattlesnake.—A
post office agent traveling in Texas
tells of tiie successful use of the gall
of a rattlesnake as an antedote for
the bite of that reptile. In the case
spoken of relief was almost instanta
neous to the patient,whowas writhing
in paroxisms of great pain, rapidly
swelling and becoming purple. A
friend of the writer, who spent sever
al years in California and Mexico,
saw the same remedy successfully
used among the Indians in the latter
country. In one instance, an Indian’s
dog near the camp,was bitten in the
nose by a large rattlesnake. The In
dians immediately opened the reptile
and administered the gall. The cure
was rapid and effectual.— St. Aligns

was refused Christian burial, but a
physician begged the privilege of
preserving the body by a process of
petrifaction of his own invention.
He was allowed to experiment, and
the result is that the body now
reposes on a pedestal, clad in a dark
dressing gown with scarlet bindings,
black pataloons, kid slippers, black
kid gloves with the fingers cut off
like mits. The flesh is of a bluish
gray color, and is as hard as a brick
bat. He reposes in the little temple
without aCampoSanto, Genoa,while
near at hand, just over the wall, the
ashes of his mother are mingled with
consecrated earth. The eyes of this
stone body are wide open, the hair
and moustache very life-like.
A fishing smack master recently
captured off Mourtauk Point a mon
strous animal resembling a turtle,
which lie has brought into the har
bor of New .London, Conn. It is sev
en feet long and ten feet through.
Unlike the ordinary turtle, this ani
mal has no feet,but large fins project
ing on each side,which measure eight
feet six inches across. It appears to
be a variety of turtle well known in
the Mediterranean, and is called the
leathery or trunk turtle.
At a school examination in Con

when the lady principal rushed for
ward and led (lie astonished pupil to
a seat thus depriving the world of
what no doubt would have been a
valuable addition to the scandal lit

Another attempt has been made
to destroy Foleys statue of Prince
Albert in Dublin. Two men were
arrested at midnight while preparing
to injure it. They had covered it with
a canvasshroud saturated with para
fine oil, which was to be set on fire
and were in the act of forcing a tin
can down upon the head of the statue
which had painted on it in large red
letters: “No residence for Royal
Princes.”

They put on the most elaborate cos

breakers in high glee. A little foam
is allowed to wet their pretty feet,
whereupon they all scream and run

when they come out they say the ba
thing was “perfectly splendid.”
We were much shocked] yesterday
to hear that Mr. Tippin had been
killed the day previous, being struck
by lightning. Mr. Tippin lived on
Mr. Roily Whitehead’s place, in the

killed. —Rome Commercial.
They have a heart in the Georgia
medical college that was taken from
a man who tried to commit suicide.
He stabbed himself with a knife, and

have recovered, if he had not got
drunk, and the next morning he was
dead.
