Although the Mountain Meadow

With respect to the sentence of

such a sentence upon him can con
tinue to hold a commission in her
Majesty’s service, or show himself
among decent people.”
That may be true enough in Old

Racking Up the Insurrectionists.
The Philadelphia American is the
leading Radical paper of Philadel
phia, and an especial organ of the
Centennial Exposition, in support of
which it calls upon the impoverish
ed people of the South to contribute.
The kindly feeling which its editors
entertain towards the white people
of Georgia may be judged from the
following paragraph in reference to
the late attempted negro insurrec
tion. The American says:
“The Georgia negro scare is about
the most ridiculous attempt at an
electioneering dodge we have seen
for a long time. Itstead of Wash
ington and Jefferson counties being
near the South Carolina border, as
the dispatches led the reader to infer,
they are situated in the eastern mid
dle of the State, in the cotton region,
in the latitude of Macon, the whites
numbering 11,787 in 1870 and the
blacks 16,255, so that as the blacks
were totally unarmed and the whites
all armed and in posession of the
State and local governments, the
idea of an insurrection is a mere
trick. Georgia has a very large ma
jority of whites, and has lost her col
ored population of late years through
an exodus caused by the reactionary
despotism. The present arrests are
very likely to give anew impetus
to the exodus.”
The above is as illogical as it is
malicious and false. Can anything
be more preposterous than the idea
of the white people of Georgia delib
erately getting up a conflict with the
negroes as an electioneering trick ?
Besides the fact that there is no rea
son to believe that such an expedient
would serve the interests of the Dem
ocracy as an “electioneering trick,”
it would be a rather expensive ex
periment just at this cotton picking
season of the year, when all the
available labor is needed to save the
opening crop. The editor exhibits a
characteristic recklessness of truth
when the asserts that “the blacks
were totally unarmed and the whites
all armed.” A double falsehood;
for neither are “the whites all arm
ed” nor the “negroes wholly unarm
ed.” His assertion that an exodus
of negroes from Georgia has been
caused by “reactionary despotism” is
equally false. The negroes of Geor
gia are as free, have as many privile
ges, are as well paid, are as kindly
treated in Georgia as they are in
Pennsylvania or any other Northern
State, and if left uninfluenced by the
hypocritical professions and incendi
ary teachings of just such mock phi
lanthropists and sniveling dema
gogues as the editor of the American ,
would be more contented as they are
more prosperous in Georgia than they
are in his own city of Brotherly
Love. —Savannah News.
Money must be scarce about La-
Grange. We judge from the follow
ing articles ciipped from the Re
porter : “At the sale of article be
longing to the estate of Dr. John S.
Hill, the following prices obtained
on sixty days’ time : Mules and
horses SSO, oxen $2 each, cows and
calves $3 to $3 25 each, buggy and
harness $25, wheat 50cts. per bushel,
horse collar $1 80.”*— Monroe Adv.
In 1841 or 1842, while a resident of
of Noxubee county, Miss., we wit
nessed a Shireff’s sale of some thirty
or forty slaves, the poorest one of
whom was worth, according to the
ruling prices for that species of prop
erty, not less than S9OO. All but one
of them brought prices ranging from
$8 to sl4. That one was “run up”
to about SIOO, when some person,
who knew the nature of the sale,
slipped up to the old gentleman who
was ignorantly bidding on the likely
negro woman, and told him that he
was engaged in a useless matter ;
that if he were to bid one thousand
dollars, he could not get the woman.
He then left the field. The amount
of it was,that a “snap judgment”had
been taken, and property levied up
on and sold, which was bought in
with the defendant’s money. The
debt was due to a man who was not
in the State, and advantage was
taken of his absence; so that a debt
of some $30,000 or $40,000, was settled
with a few hundred, and yet every
thing was done strictly according to
law. Perhaps this sale of the estate
of Dr. Hill was one of the same sort.
Why Not? —We learn that the
Mormon residents of Beaver, Utah,
propose tendering John D. Lee—
lately on trial for his share in the
Mountain Meadow massacre—a
grand reception and banquet as a
testimonial of satisfaction and de
light at “the great moral victory”
achieved by the disagreement of the
jury. Lee’s friend claim that as
there were only three of the jury
men in favor of the conviction, there
fore, he is to all intents and purposes
innocent, and is entitled to a public
and triumphantvindication. lienee
the reception and banquet. This,
says the St. Louis Republican is just
as it should be. It is a poor rule which
will not hold good in Beaver as well
as Brooklyn, and if Beecher is lion
ized on account of a disagreement of
his jury, why should not Lee’s jury
do as much for him ? By all means
“vindicate” the hero of Mountain
Meadows. Let not Venus rob Mars
of all his laurels.
At a grand Democratic barbecue in
Hinds county, Miss.,last week, five
thousands persons yvero present, in
cluding some five hundred colored
men. The proceedings concluded
with the trial of Gov. Ames, who
was present in effigy,for treason,mur
der, and other high crimes, a verdict
of guilty being found and sentence
of death imposed, commuted subse
quently to banishment to Massachu
setts.
The whole number of locomotives
in the world is estimated at 50,000 of
which 15,000 are in the United States,
and nearly 11,000 in Great Britain.
The aggregate horse-power is estima
ted at 10,000,000, and all the engines
in use—locomotives, marine and sta
tionary—are supposed to aggregate
14,000,000 hoise-powtr.
Scribner's Journal for September
says that “Beecher did not have fair
play; we are inclined to believe he
did not get justice.” That’sjust the
opinion of a large mass of the peo
ple. If he had gotten justice, he
would have been mulcted in the
damages that Tilton sued for, and
been sent to the penitentiary for
perjery. ...
A young husband, who constantly
grumbled and complained of his
wife that he could get no coffee, food,
nor anything else like his mother
gave him, was cured ny her throw
ing the contents of the table into his
lap and slapping him oyer the head
with the remark, “there’s a clip over
the head for you, such as your moth
er used to give you when you were a
boy.” There was domestic peace in
that house, ever after, and no more
allusions to maternal cooking, or
comforts of by-gone days.
A great excitement has been got
ton up among the negroes in the
neighborhood of Nashville, Tenne
ssee, relative to emigrating to Kan
sas. Negroes have been made to be
lieve, by interested parties, that the
grasshopper state is a perfect Eldo
rado, and are making great sacrifices
to get them to find the same state
of affairs as did the Georgia negroes
who were pursuaded to emigrate to
Mississippi and Louisiana last year.
If they are willing to work, they
will find Tennessee as good a state
as any other.
Dr. Leary, of latan, near Atchison,
Kansas, who is spoken of as an ex
cellent physician, and one highly
esteemed, was so indiscreet a few
days since as to go on a drunken
spree. Recovering from his attack,
he found that one of his patients had
died while awaiting him. He was
overcome with grief and remorse,
and, after settling up his affairs,
blew his brains out in his own house
with a revolver. It is not likely
that Dr. Leary’s example will be
followed by other physicians who
neglect their patients. The medical
profession is not ready for its ow T n
massacre just at present.
The Virginia Negro Conven
tion. —The late negro convention in
Virginia, like the Georgia insurec
tion, was an utter failure. The ob
ject of the projectors of the conven
tion was to fire up the colored men of
Virginia, fill their heads and hearts
with a w T oeful list of outrages, mad
den them against the Conservatives,
and use them to carry Virginia in
the next Presidential campaign. The
split at the start between the blacks
and the mulatoes rather defeated
anything of this kind. There are
colored men in Virginia whose votes
the Radicals can never again get,
and there are others to be had by the
side offering the most money. This
is the colored drapery of the “party of
progress” in the Old Dominion.
Richmond Enquirer: The attempt
of the Radical Outrage Press of the
North to hold the Conservatives of
Georgia responsible for the recent at
tempted negro insurrection in that
State, and to make it appear that it
was gotton up by them for political
efiect, is as as it was villian
ous. The fact is it was an attempt
on the part of Northern Radicalism
to force a conflict, that the killing of
a hundred or so of their black dupes,
by the outraged white people, might
be turned to account in the coming
elections and serve to roll back the
tide of reconciliation which is now
setting in so steadily and threatens
to overthrow them. Thank fortune,
the prudence, calmness and good
sense of the people and authorities of
that State were equal to the emer
gency.
Hawkinsville Dispatch : A year
or two ago, as well known, several
hundred colored people left Pulaski
and Houston counties for Arkansas.
A prominent planter of the latter
county lost by this emigration mov e
ment nearly all the laborers on bis
plantation. He regretted, most of
all, the loss of a favorite hand, who
couldn’t be persuaded or hired to re
main. A few days ago he received
a letter from this favorite freeu'man,
stating that he was on his way b.ack
from Arkansas to his old home, an and
that all his eo-laborers were with
him ; that they had reached Atlanta,
and their money was exhausted. He
requested his old “boss” to see the
colored people in the neighborhood
and raise a hundred and fifty dol
lars and forward it to him by ex
press, that he might be enabled to
bring on his family and the balance
of the party. The planter immedi
ately went to work and raised one
hundred dollars among the colored
people-, and very willingly added the
other fifty dollars from his own purse.
He hastened to the express office to
send off the money, but on arriving
there he took another notion. He
was so anxions to see his old colored
friend from Arkansas and hear his
tale of woe, that he (the planter) took
the cars and went on to Atlanta to
meet him. Imagine the planter’s
surprise and mortification on reach
ing Atlanta to find that tho letter
had been written by “one-eyed” Jim
Baskin, the notorious negro forger
who was sent from Macon to the
penitentiary chain-gang, some three
or four months ago, for forging drafts
and orders on planters of Houston
county.
PENNYROYAL AND POTASH.
Scientific American.
If mosquitoes or other bloodsuck
ers infest our sleeping rooms at
night, we uncork a bottle of the oil
of pennyroyal, and these animals
leave in great haste, nor will they
return so long as the air in the room
is loaded with the fumes of that ar
omatic hero. If rats enter the cellar
a little powdered potash, thrown in
their holes or mixed with meal and
scattered in their runways, never
fails to drive them away. Cayenne
pepper will keep the buttery and
storeroom free from ants and' cock
roaches. If a mouse makes an en
trance into any part of your dwell
ings, saturate a rag with Cayenne, in
solution, and stuff it into the hole,
which can then be repaired with ei
ther wood or morter. No rat or
mouse will eat that rag for the pur
pose of opening communications
with a depot of supplies.
We are glad to learn that the ster
ling N. Y. Tribune sent a reporter to
Sandersville, Ga., to attend the trial
of the conspirators now going on
there. *
A train of cars, from St. Paul to
Chicago, went through a bridge four
miles south of Chicago. The con
ductor, engineer, and fireman were
instantly killed, and several passen
gers slightly hurt.
A correspondent of the Cave
Springs, Ga., Enterprise, in writing
of the dam built across a stream near
Cedartown, says the dam will last
forever, because it is built with
Howard’s cement.
The Savannah News quotes, “Des
potism tempered with assassina
tion,” as the description given by
Thomas Jefferson of Asiatic govern
ment. This quotation cannot be
.found in the writing of that most
eminent American statesman. It
w T as Voltaire who said, speaking of
Russia. “It is an absolute monarchy
limited by assassination.”
The Savannah Advertiser of the Ist
ult., tells us of another uprising in
the lower Dart of Georgia. At Coch
ran, Ga., a squad of negroes resisted
a sheriff’s posse of Laurens county.
The negroes would not listen to the
reasoning of the sheriff and he went
in reach of one of them to arrest him,
when the negro placed his gun
against the sheriff’s heart and burst
ed two caps, which cost the negro'
his life and that of one of his com
rades and wounding of another. By
9 o’clock the negroes had massed in
the vicinity, in arms, to the number
of one hundred and npwards, mak
ing considerable threats of what they
intended to do that night. We hope,
before we go to press to report the
final issue of this affair.

A BANKS COUNTY GIRL.
We mentioned some time ago that
a correspondent in Banks complain
ed that the girls were “kicking” the
young men,and he admonished them
that they would be left out in the
cold. A few days ago we received
a reply from an indignant damsel,
the substance of which we append :
“The reason the boy3 are “kicked”
says she, is because so many of them
have “kicked” out of the plow hand
les, laid by the shovels and the hoe
and are trying to make inferior doc
tors, lawyers, preachers and scho< 1
teachers, and others sit uyder shade
trees in lordly style, squirt tobacco
juice freely, but absolutely do noth
ing useful. Go to work honestly,
says this irate maiden, and you will
not only have no cause to complain
of being “kicked,” but may find
worthy wives who will make you
help meets for your benefit and who
will seek to make you happy.
While our fair correspondent’s
ideas are no doubt very good in the
main, we still persist in our original
opinion that the Banks county boys
are at least as good as the young men
of other counties, and a great deal
better than some of them. —Athens
Watchman.
The Tie-Backs.
That airy, rapid young friend of
ours, Grady, of the Herald , has been
investigating the tie-backs, and the
following in his conclusion '.—Rome
Commercial.
“We have thought of taking up
our pen and opening a war upon the
fashion, now prevalent, of pinning
the dress back by such strenuons
folds, as to disclose the outline of the
wearer’s form. It has seemed to us
that pudlic propriety demanded
something of this sort. But when
the field has been surveyed, and we
have counted up the fruitless cru
sade that journalists have made
against prevailing follies of this
kind, we shrink back appalled. Be
sides, we get no sympathy from our
masculine friends, when we proclaim
the purpose of our onset. With a
half-confessed love, the men love the
pin-backs. There is a frankness and
candor about the fashion that com
mends it to masculine eyes. ‘lts a
splendid fashion,’ remarked our
friend John Average, as his eyes
dwell upon the plump outlines of
the lady in front of him. ‘lts be
coming to every woman in the world
—except two.’ ‘And who are they ?’
Oh, well—my wife and my sister,
you know.’ ”
An Imperial Gourment.—A
writer says: Is it not singular that
the imperious Ctesar should have
been infected with the sensousness of
his age, and proved himself an epi
cure, albeit one of elegant and dainty
manners. Curtius says of the Home
of Ciesar’s day : “No sort of luxury
flourished so much as the coarsest of
all—the luxary of the table. The
whole villa arrangements and the
whole villa life had ultimate refer
ence to dining. Not only was the
cook a graduate in gastronomy, but
the master himself often acted as the
instructor of his cooks. The circum
stance of the guest taking an emetic
after a banquet to avoid the conse
quences of the varied fare set before
him no longer created surprise.”
The same author has produced the
bill of faro provided at a feast given
by Mueius Lentulus Niger, at which
Ciesar assisted. “Before the dinner
proper came sea-hedghogs, fresh oys
ters, (as many as the guests wished),
large mussels, sphondili, field fares,
with asparagus, fattened Cowls, oys
ters anti mussel pasties, black and
white sea-acorns, sphondili again,
glycimarides. sea-nettles, becaficoe?,

RADICAL, ELECTIONEERING.
Greenville, Miss., Times.
Since our last, in which we alluded
to Ham Carter having unset the
lion. Rev. Gray in his sheriffalty
aspirations, the A. It. G. has return
ed, and has thrown himself into the
fight in his usual style. He made a
speech near Egg’s Point a few nights
since, from which we may infer his
usual range of argument. He in
formed his auditors that he was
bound to be sheriff; that Gov. Ames
was going to send him a thousand
stand of arms, and, if necessary to
his election, his militia would kill
everything with a white skin in the
county ; and the question of “bond
didn’t trouble him in the least.”
MRS. LINCTON.
Dr. A. K. Patterson, in charge of
the asylum where Mrs. Lincton is con
fined, writes to the Tribune denying
the recent statement that he has
given a certificate that she should be
discharged. He did say that under
certain circumstances it might be safe
for her to visit her sister at Spring
field, but she is at present more per
turbed in mind than when he made
the statement to her son. He denies
the story of her being locked up. She
receives visitors and has the use of a
carriage to visit her friends in Bata
via.
When Andrew Johnson was Gov
i ernor of Tennesee, an ex-blacksmith
was Chief Justice of the Supreme
Court, and the Governor with his
own hands made a vest for the Chief
Justice, while the Chief Justice went
to a forge and made a shovel and
tongs to present to the Governor.—
Chicago Tribune.
I The above is historically true, ex
cept that the “ex-blacksmith” refer
red to was not “Chief Justice of
the Suprt'* ll ? Court,” but Judge of
the Circuit cj' url ’worthy Judge
Pepper, now dei. > good old
county of Roberts oil.
A Kansas City Telegram of the
20th states that a disj Mitch was receiv
ed that day from Mr. Davis, by the
Kansas City Exposition Association,
accepting their invitath in to be pres
ent and deliver an adc. tress during
the progress of the fair. He will re
ceive a hearty welcome i a this city,
the most staunch Republic ans taking
an active part in extending the invi

He’d be in a terrible fix if they
“went back on him.”

American citizens are still perpetra
