How and Where he was Captured.
The Chief Mogul of the Georgia Insurrection
ists Caught in Atlanta and Lodged in Ful
ton County Jail.
The Atlanta Herald of the 21st gives the fol
lowing account of the capture of “gineral”
Morris the insurrectionist:
Ever since Governor Smith offered a reward
for the capture of Gen. Joseph Morris, the in
stigator and leader of the negro insurrection
ists in Southeastern Georgia some weeks ago,
Captain Murphy has had his ayes open'and has
often been on a hot trail after the General, but
it was not until last Friday that he got the mat
ter to where he regarded it as an assured suc
cess. Suffice it, however, his whereabouts has
always been known to the sharp detectives.
Gen Morris arrived in Atlanta last Friday.
The object of his daring visit is not known,but
he secretly found his way to the United States
Court room, where he would remain confined
in the offices from eirly until late. But judg
ing from the cli CUfnatances in the case,it would
seem Unit he was fully aware that the detec
tives were on his track and watching him very
closely, lie must have had some idea that he
would find protection under the wings of the
United States officials in this city or he would
certainly never have come here.
Yesterday E l Murphy loitered around the
United St ates Court room, having very positive
knowledge that his man was in there, and sev
i ral times he asked citizens t* help him watch
round the doors, as there are two stairways
leading up to the offices and the court room.
-It was not until late in the afternoon that
('apt Murphy knew for a certainty that Gen
eral Joseph Morris was in the building,and
then lie saw him with his own eyes. The Cap
tain quietly walked into the office of United
States District Attorney Farrow, and seeing
General Morris standing in there, held a note
towards him with a request that he should
carry it to someone outside for him. But the
General smelt a mouse and asked someone
standing beside him to carry the note. Capt.
Murphy refused to give him the note and pass
cd it of! witli a laugh as a joke. Someone
spoke in a whisper to General Morris, and as
Capt. Murphy says, he feels assured they told
him his name and business, for very soon Gen.
Morris, silently and unobserved by any save
Ed, slid into one of the side rooms and locked
the door.
Being at his row’s end Capt. Murphy had no
other alterative but to play his hand open. He
told them who the negro was and that he
wanted him hut they did not give him up.
Murphy sent for some citizens, also for the
Chief of Police and Sheriff Perkerson. He also
wrote a note to Judge Erskine requesting per
mission to enter the Court room to catch tie
General.
Meantime the Sheriff and Chief of Police
made their appearance on the scene.
By this time it was eight o’clock in the night.
Not wishing to break open the door of a United
States office, they thought of taking him
through the transom. Murphy climbed up to
the transom and struck a match, but could not
get a glimpse at Jiis bird, yet he knew he had
not flown.
Sheriff Perkerson climbed up to the transom
and went inside. In a moment he exclaimed,
“ Here he is!” He was found crouched up un
der the table. Murphy climbed up through
the transom and placed a pair of iron bracelets
which he lmd upon the wrists of the General.
Thus having him secure, they unlocked the
door and marched the General down to the
jail, where he remained until Tuesday evening,
when he was carried to Burke county.
Female Society.
Here is what Thackeray thinks of what i
best fur young men :
4 It is better for you to pass an evening onci
or twice a week in a lady’s drawing-room, even
though the conversation is slow, and you kuow
the girl’s song by heart, than in a club, a tav
ern or a pit of a theatre. All amusements 01
youth to which virtuous women are not admit
ted, rely on it, are deleterious in their nature.
Ali men who avoid female society have dull
perception, and are stupid, or have gross tastes,
and resolve against what is pure. You club
swaggers, who are sucking the buts of billiard
cu-'s ali night, call female society insipid. Poe
try is uninspiring to a jockey ; beauty has no
charms for a blind man ; music does not please
a poor beast who does not know oue tune from
another, but as a true epicure is hardly ever
tired of water, sauces, and brown bread and
butter, I protest I can sit for a whole night
talking with a well-regulated, kindly woman
about her girl Fanny, or her boy Frank, and like
the evening’s entertainment. One of the great
benefits a man can derive from a woman’s so
ciety is, that he is bound to be respectful to her.
The habit is of great good to your morals, men,
depend upon it. Our education makes us the
most eminently selfish men to the world.
Jefferson Davis in Western Missouri. —
There was not a word nor an unpleasant inci
dent during the time occupied by the speeches
to mar the pleasure of the great throng.
Mr. Davis at the conclusion of his speech,
which occupied something more than three
quarters of an hour, took a seat at the back of
the platform, around which had gathered a
dense throng of people. Men and women
pressed forward to take him by the hand.
Among these were men who had been soldiers
in the Union army. One ex-Federal veteran
came up to shake hands with the ex-President
of the Confederacy and said, as he extended
his hand, “How do you do ? lam glad to take
you by the hand. I was four years a soldier
in the Federal army, and was a prisoner at
Andersonville. It is all a d—u lie about that
matter.” Mr. Davis remarked that sometimes
people might be mistaken.
Another old gentleman pressed forward, took
the old soldier chieftain by the hand, and said:
“ I always disliked your politics. I was an ab
olitionist, came from the State of Maine, and
am proud of my native land; but lam glad to
see you here to-day.”
Mr. Davis met all with a cordial grasp, a
kindly smile aud a pleasant word. He did not
remain long on the ground, but entering a car
riage, he was driven to the Coates House,
where he has had quiet and rest —-Sf. Louis Re

Political Condition of Georgia.
Mr. Charles Nordlioff, special correpondent
of the New Yoik nerald, under date of Sep
tember 11 writes that paper a letter on the
above subject, from which we extract the
following :
I conclude my account of Georgia with a
few remarks about the political condition of
the State,
In the first place there is no Republican par
ty worthy of the name in the State. There is
hut one Republican newapaper, and that is a
weekly. One of the most zealous Republicans
in the State said to me, “ The Republican par
ty, so far as its white members are concerned,
consists mainly of Federal office-holders am
men seeking office--mostly natives of the
Suite.” He added, “ There are not more than
a hundred active white Republicans in Georgia
who are honest and out of office.” Another
zealous Republican said to me, “The white
Republicans of Georgia are made up almost en
tirely of Federal office-holders whose aim is to
keep their places, and of men who are trying
to get these places. There is substantially no
body else, white, in the party.” Another said,
“ White men put themselves forward for Con
gress on the Republican ticket, knowing they
will he beaten, with the sole object of rushing
to Washington as soon as the election is over
to set up a claim for a Federal office on the
ground of their defeat.” “ The civil rights bill
killed the Republican party in this State,” said
a Federal officer to me —“ it put us back to
1807.” Less than 5,000 whites voted the Re
publican ticket at the election of 1875. In
1872, a Republican told me, at least 10,000
blacks voted the Grecly ticket, and “ more and
more negroes vote Democratic all the time.” I
notice that among the grievances of the blacks
mentioned in discussion of the so-called insur
rection is one that they are disfranchised if
they do not pay their poll and road taxes. This
is all perfectly true, and, I think, perfectly just.
Poll and road tax is all that the greater part of
them pay toward the support of the Govern
ment, and if they evade this they do not de
serve to vote. The same law applies to the
whites.
In the Georgia Congressional delegation
there is not now a single Republican. One rea
son for this is that, in some cases, the party
nominates men who cannot get the support of
honest Republicans. One such man as I was
told of, who w as no sooner beaten than he pro
ceeded to Washington and set up a claim to
all the Federal patronage of the district in
which he had been cut by every honest Repub
lican. Nor are claims of this kind always dis
allowed at Washington- For instance, not long
ago, a man w as appointed collector of internal
revenue in a Georgia district who, according to
general Republican testimony, had been a ku
klux in kuklux times, and who actually could
uot take the office because he then stood
charged with offering a bribe.
One of the most prominent Federal officers
in the State, a native and a zealous Republican
and bitter opponent of the Democratic party,
said to me, “ I don’t know that there is any
Republican party in the State. The negroes
will not vote in general because they have no
white vote back ©f them. The blacks are al
most totally disfranchised by their neglect to
pay their taxes. At least two-thirds of the col
ored voters are thus disfranchised. Then, again,
in some counties where there are large negro
majorities half a dozen black demagogues insist
on running for some office, and then Democrats
run in between them. Wherever independent
tickets have been put up in counties the sup
porters of these strove for the negro vote, ana
in such cases the election was always peacea
ble and full, because there two parties were
anxious for this vote. I do not think that
for a year or two past there has been much
cheating in wages; the people have learned to
do better.”
DEMOCKATIC RULE IN GEORGIA.
Georgia has been longer and more continu
ously than any other cotton State since the war
under the rule of the Democratic party. Bul
lock, the Republican Governor, chosen at the
adoption of ihe constitution in 1868 for a term
of four years, abandoned his office and the
State in October 1871; Smith, Democrat, was
elected to fill his unexpired term; was re-elect
ed in 1872, and is still Governor. The Legis
lature, which is elected every two years, was
Republican by a small majority in 1868 ; but
the body which assembled in November, 1871,
was strongly Democratic, and both houses and
all the Executive officers have been Democratic
ever since. It follows that, since the winter of
1871, the State government has been entirely
in Democratic hands, and the country govern
ments have also, with but few exceptions fallen
under the same control The Legislature has
been overwhelmingly Democratic in both
branches. It would he strange, considering the
circumstances and the party strength, if the
ruling party had been always wise ; but it must
be said that they have done very few wicked or
very few foolish things.
“ When the Democrats are so likely to split,
especially on the nomination for Governor, I
suppose the Republicans will stand ready to
support an independent Democrat,” I said to a
leading Republican. He replied, “ That is not
so certain. It is more probable tbas some Re
publican will be selfish enough to demand a
nomination for himself; will get it with the
help of the negro, and will of course be beat
en.” “ The fact is,” he added, “ yon can see
that there is no room here for a Republican
party such as exists, composed of a few ambi
tious leaders and a mass of ignorant blacks; it
is a nuisance.” He was right; such a party
is a danger to the community; and I cannot
help but admire the self control of the Demo
crats, who, with such overwhelming majorities
in the Legislature, have committed so few fol
lies.
Vindicated After Many Years. —Some
forty years ago Thomas Emerson, President of
the old Windsor (Yt) Bank, was suspected of
robbing the bank of about $-50,000, the loss of
which ruined the institution. He was tried,
found guilty, and was confined in Windsor jail
for many years. On monday last, as Col. Har
low was removing an old brick oven in his
house, which was formerly occupied by the
cashier, Kittridge, he discovered somewhere be
tween forty and fifty thousand dollars of the
missing money in a brick vault under the oven.
The bills are quite decayed, but still somewhat
legible The opinion is that the cashier took
the money instead of Emerson, who, though
an innocent man. had to suffer for another's
crime. Both Emerson and Kittridge died sev
eral years since. The discovery causes quite a
sensation at Windsor.— AfbanyArffvt,
FORSYTH. GEORGIA, TUESDAY MORNING SEPTEMBER ‘2B. 1875.
Scribner’s Story Waiters.
The publishers of Scribner’s Monthly an
nounce that Dr. Holland's “ Story of Seven
oaks ” will he completed in the December num
ber. They also aonounee three new serial sto
ries by American writers. In the November
number, which is the first of the Eleventh
Volume of the magazine, the openiug install
ment of Bret Harte’s first novel, “ Gabriel Con
roy,” will be given. The publishers say that
the work is now complete in their hands, and
that it will run for twelve months. “ The
scenes and characters are chosen from the au
thor’s favorite field, early California. He has
painted both w ith characteristic vividness and
power; and the work is undoubtedly, in many
respects, the most graphic representation and
best record of a phase of life and society,
which was born of the strange mat . rials and
exceptional conditions that clustered around
the newly discovered treasures of the territory.
No literary announcement of the year is likely
to awaken so wide an interest as this, or to in
vite such unhesitating attention.
In the January number a serial story by Ed
ward Everett Hale will begin. The following
notice of it has been given of it to the public:
“The story of the‘Man without a Country,’
written some years ago by Mr. Hale, produced
a profound impression wherever it was read.
It contained more than one allusion to Capt.
Nolan, one of the first American adventures in
Texas—the namesake and kinsman of the
‘ Man without a country’ himself. This Capt.
Nolan is a historical character, whose life, till
a few years ago, w T as surrounded with no little
mystery. He* was a native of Frankfort, Ken
tucky, a well-educated young man, remembered
as athletic, energetic, amiable and brave. No
period of our history has more dramatic points
of interest than that in which he and his
friends engaged. They cannot be said to be
‘Men without a country’ but they lived in or
near a region which was now Spanish, now
French, and now American, and may have of
ten doubted to which country the men be
longed whom they met in their adventures.
1 Show* Your Passports!’ was so often on their
lips tlpit it may well serve as a surbordinate title
of tlieir story, which, in Mr. Hale’s hands, w T ill
be represented w ith a power of fascination en
tirely his own.”
At the conclusion of the publication of either
of the above novels, “ That Lass o’Lowrie’s,”
by Fannie Hodgson Burnett, will be com
menced in the magazine. Those patrons of
“ Scribner,” who have read “ Surly Tim’s
Trouble,” “ One Day at Arle,” “ The Fire at
Grantley mills’” and others of Mrs. Burnett’s
short stories, will not need to be assured, say
the publishers, that they have a rare treat be
fore them in this her first novel. “ Mrs. Bur
nett is, in truth, one of the most promising wri
ters in America. The scene of the new novel
is laid in an English mining t<Jwn, the charac
ters are drawn with marvelous power, and from
the first page to the last the interest of the hook
is unflagging.”
Woman’s Power of Fascination.
For the encouragement of those of the fair
sex who fear that time will rob them of their
fascinations, some kind soul has ransacked his
tory to find accounts of women who have
charmed when no longer young. The list is a
long one, beginning with Helen of Troy, who
is said to have been over forty when she eloped
witli Paris and thus set all Greece by the ears
and gave us two of the greatest epics ever
written. She could not plead youth as an ex
cuse, although we submit that the accounts of
her age, like everything else in her story, are
rather apocryphal. More reliable efforts come
to us of Aspasia, whom Pericles wedded when
she was about thirty-six, and who for twenty
years more maintained an undiminished rep
utation for exquisite beauty and fascination.
Cleopatra also charmed Marc Antony when
she was past .80, and maintained her empire
for nearly 10 years longer, and Livia at 33 won
the heart of Augustus and kept it to the last.
In modern history the famous Diana was 36
when she won the heart of Henry 11. (Duke of
Orleans and just half her age), and she was
considered the first lady and most beautiful
woman of the court to the day of his death.
Then came Anne of Austria, Ninon de l’Enclos,
Bianca Capello, Madame de Maintenon, Cath
erine 11. of Russia, Mile. Mars, the famous
French tragic actress, and last and perhaps
most beautiful of them all, Madame Recamier.
All of these were admired and loved long after
they had passed what is generally considered
as the hey-day of woman’s charms.
It is a noteworthy fact that a majority of
these women were either French or lived in
France, and conformed to French manners and
customs. It is not probable that this is because
the women of France are any more beautiful,
or retain their beauty any longer than those of
other countries. Indeed, some travellers have
professed themselves utterly unable to see the
beauty of the French women, about which they
had heard so much. The custom in France,
which opens the world and all its pleasures—
opportunity for conquest included—to a wo
man only after she is married, has caused the
French women to cultivate their charms, both
of mind and person, and to preserve them as
long as preservation is possible. Fascination
becomes an art worthy of most careful study.
To degenerate into the “ household drudge,”
uncultivated, untidy and unlovely, which seems
to many of the women of the Teutonic races to
be the type of womanhood after marriage, is
furthest from their thoughts. The state of af
fairs which this custom produces, and of which
it is an indication, is neither to be envied ncr
imitated: but could American women learn
from their French sisters the art of being
charming, nay, fascinating, up to and beyond
middle age, they would be happier for it. To
wm hearts is the easiest thing in the world; to
hold them one of the hardest. The French wo
man desires to win and hold many; her Amer
ican sister is or ought to be satisfied to win and
hold one. It is just as hard to do the latter
as the former of these things, but upon doing
the latter depends tbe happiness of eveiy wo
man and her family. She who does not put
forth her best efforts to do it must be content to
look upon her life as a failure.
A method of preserving eggs by coating
them with parafice has been discovered, and it
is said that when the eggs so coated have been
fresh at the time of the operation, they have
been kept perfectly good for several months.
“ The proper punishment,” says Lardner,
“of a low, mean, indecent, scurrilous way of
writing, seems to be neglect, contempt, scorn
and final indignation.”
“In God we Trust.”

Dr. J. H. Pemberton —Dear Sir: I have used
your Extract of Stillingia for a chronic skin
affection of many years standing, which made
a cure after all other remedies had failed. I
have known your Stillingia used in the worst
cases of scrofula, secondary syphilitic diseases,
rheumatism, kidney and liver affections, with
great success. In fact, I have never known it
to fail in the most desperate cases. I consider
it the greatest blood purifier known.
Yours truly, J. C. EVANS.
