On last Tuesday morning our city was very much excited over a horrible report, that Jas. T. Heard (who mar lied a most estimable lady of this place) was under arrest at Conyers charged with attempt to rape a little girl at that place. {Confirmatory of the re port, we publish the following from a special correspondent of the Atlanta Herald: Conyers. Ga., Sept. 7. 1875. Mr. Jas. T. Heard, a drummer from Atlanta, attempted to rape the two lit tle daughters of Mrs. Chamberlain, last night, at the Whitehead House in this place. Heard enticed or induced the girls, aged respectively nine and eleven, to enter his room, and then attempted to commit the horrible crime. The girls escaped and made com plaint. Heard denied the charge, hut an examination left no doubt of the truth of the girls’ story. Mr. Geo. Chamberlain than attacked and beat him severely. He was tlun arrested and confined in jail, where lie now awaits preliminary trial. The citizens were much excited, and at one time Heard's life was in danger. The preliminary trial is set for to morrow, on arrival of Judge Hook, of Augusta, to defend him. T. LATER. Conyers, Ga., Sept. 7 —G:ls p. m.— .James T. Heard, representing a house ofyour city, was arrested on a warrant charging him with raping Minnie and Mary Chamberlain, daughters of Mrs Chamberlain, proprietress of the hotel here, aged seven and eleven years, lie is now in jail, and will be tried before a court of enquiry here to morrow Dr. .Jones lias examined the younger girl and pronounces positively as re gards the attempt having been made. 'I he older girl was not examined by Dr. Jones, and is not so badly hurt, she having got. loose from Heard ami escaped through the window. Heard will ho arrested on two new warrants in the morning, charging him with assault with intent to rape these girls. He not succeeding in his designs, there will be two cases against him. and it is Imped justice will be uieted 4>ut to him The people were very indignant last night, and some were in favor of nub law. Others counseled a wiser course, and now all are willing to lot the law take its eomse. Heard had George Chamberlain ar rested this morning on a peace warrant, and Chamberiaiu gave bond in the sum of 8500. Me. [for the herald.] Annual Kxiienxex, Salaries of Ollieers, elf. Mr E<lilor, Dear Sir, —If you will allow me a little space in your valua ble paper, I would like to call the at tention of the people of Greene county TSTtttflfgd-HrCtte aiimm! expenses of the County, in salaries to county officers, and to one or two other matters of gen eral interest. To commence, our Superior Court costs, on an average from n hundred to a hundred and twenty-five dollars a day. Last year it cost over four thou sand dollars. Can uot some plan, or system of business be gotten up that will materially diminish these expenses? Our County Judge receives a salary of a thousand dollars and all the costs in civil eases (which costs amount to five. six. or perhaps seven hundred dol lars a year.) making probably sixteen or eighteen hundred dollars fur hold ing sixteen Courts —twelve monthly and four quarterly—occupying twenty or twenty-four days, equal to some sev enty or eighty dollars a day. This is surely an enormous salary. lam much pleased with Judge ltob nson as a gen tleman, have no objection to him as an officer, and do not blame him (or ac cepting the very large salary. But 1 think the Grand Jury which recom mended that salary acted unwisely.— This county has about two and a half millions of dollars of taxable propel ty. and Richmond County lias about eigh teen mi lions of and liars of taxable pro petty. I aui told Richmond county pays her County -Judge a thousand dol lars salary, and he receives no perquo sites. Morgan and Wilkes c-.unties have each, about the saute amount of taxable property as Greene, and each ot them pays its County Judge two hundred and fifty dollars. The Grand Jury in this county, whose bu-iness it i<. should look to (his matter, and re lieve the tax payers of so much un reasonable expense. The Tax Receiver gets eight or nine hundred dol ars for four or five innntns work ; the Tax Collecior receives some eleven or twelve hundred dollars lor less than half the years services, and the County Treasurer's pay is about six hundred dollars, and it is doubtful whether the duties of his office require two month s services. Half the salsries af these officers would be liberal pay for the work performed. Id >ubt not. there arc plenty of competent, good ineu in the county who would accept these offices, with tho salaries I sug gest. Then, the Ordinary is paid two bun dred dollars for discharging county bu siness, the worst, if not the most of which is to assess an cnoroicus county tax upon the people—seventy per cent, on the State tax— a considerable part of which is to raise some sixteen hundred doilars for public school purposes in the county, which the Grand Jury at last March Term, at the request of the County Hoard of Education, recom mended to be raised. RECAPITULATION. Salary of County Judge, SI,OOO do Tax Receiver, 800 do Tax Collector, 1,100 do County Treasurer, 600 do Ordinary, 200 Total, $3,700 Offices should be consolidated, and the salary of one of the original affixed or salaries should be reduced. Another subject to which I desire especially to call the attention of our Legislators is, our Public School syj| tern, (established under Radical mis rule,) which, though the Legislature seems afraid to attack it, or unwilling to relieve the people of its burdens, seems to be a reckless, wasteful expen diture of nmney, to say the least of it. The amount of k money annually raised in the State, for educational purposes is said to be about one hundred and eighty-one thousand dellars. About twentyfour thousand dollars of that, or nearly one-seventh, is paid out to officers for services as useless as an odd wheel to a wagon, or a crank to the earth’s axis. The State School Commissio.ier re ceives two and a halt thousand dollars; his Clerk twelve hundred, making thir ty-seven hundred. The School Com missioner for each county (a hundred and thirty-six counties,) gets three dollars a day, for riot more than a hun dred days —say a hundred and fifty dollars each—amounting to some twen ty thousand dollars. The Tax Re ceivers are iequired to take and report the number of children in their respec tive counties entitled to the benefits of the publie school fund, I believe. The County Treasurer or Ordinary could be required to reee.ve the School Funds f,r each county, and to pay oat. the same as directed by tho County Hoard of Education. All this business could be done without any exj*euse whatever. Why does not the Legislature revise this system? Why not the people have legislators who wilt revise and improve it? The right ot the Legis lature to appropriate the people’s mo ney to support public schools seems ,rather doubtful. If it has that right, why not the right to establish a publie system of feeding and clothing the children ? If a man toilo hard to bn"? cumulate something to start (hem in this rugged life, and the Legislature has a right to take a part of it to edu cate the children of others, among whom are those so lazy and trifling that they will not work to educate, feed or clothe their own children, why not with as much propriety levy a special tax to fed and clothe these children ? But 1 merely hint at this school system and dismiss it. We see that some of the Press of ihe State, favor an increase of the salaries Hf the Stale officers, particularly those of Judges of the Supreme Court. It is e!a : med that at present salaries, we cannot engage men of the highest le an! ability, as such men cannot support their families on such salaries. Wheth er that is true or not, we need not want any more legal ability on the Su preme Bench than we now have. 1 know Hon. James Jackson personally, and although he is (simple enough to undertake to support his family on thirty-uine hundred dollars a year, I have no doubt be will give as complete satisfaction there as any gentleman who has ever occupied the )position. From what I know of the others, I am confi dent we need want no more legal abili ty in our Supreme Court. If wise men cannot support their families on thirty nine hundred dollars a year, what will ignorant men, whose offices tho wise ones fill, and whose income, that is, a large majority of them, is hardly one tenth of that amount, do with their families? There is no necessity for any increase in salaries to any officers. The order of the day should be re trenchment and reform. And our leg islators should exert themselves to briug the State back to an economical expenditure of the people’s money in running the machinery of government. MARION.

Dear Editor: I would be glad to lay the following fact* before the public, and iu doing so 1 feel that I am discharging a duty I owe to the afflicted and deformed : For several years I had been suffering from derangement of the digestive organs and malarious affections, which had under mined my constitution to such an extent that I was very much reduced in strength and energy. These troubles, in themselves were bad enough, but were nothing to what followed. Some two years since, I was attacked with Fistula in ano, and though I made use of every means of relief within my reach, I was gradually getting worse. The disease had run its course only some six months, when from suffering and the con stant drain upon my physie-.l system, I was reduced to a mere skeleton, and life had become a burden, which 1 would glad ly have laid down, and expected then soon to have to do so (though 1 am a young man) unless 1 could secure speedy relief. I was in this deplorable condition on the Ist of February, 1874, when I learned that the National Surgical Institute of In dianapolis, Ind., had established a Brauch in Atlanta, Georgia, and as a last resort, though, with but little hope,l applied there on the 2nd of February, 1874. I was led to take this step by the undoubted charac ter of the references they give, which in cludes all the State officers of Indiana, from Gov. Hendricks down,as well as many of the most prominent citizens of the State. I began to mend almost at once, after putting my case in the bands of the Sur geon in charge of the At.anta Institute,and though I had several relapses, caused by the malarious disease, I can say that my improvement was continuous until I left the Institute, two months after entering it entirely cured, and I have never had better health in my life than I have had since then. The last ten days I was at the In stitute I gained flesh at the rate of one pound per day. No one who has suffered as l have, (and there are thousands who do from the same cause.) will wonder that I should feel grateful to those who have been the instrument in God’s hands of saving my life, relieving me from suffering, and restoring me to health, or that I should wish to point others to where I have found relief, that they may also be restored. I womd also say a few words with reference to the Institution and its management. The Home Institution, in Indianapolis, Ind.. was founded some fifteen years since, and is now operating with a chartered capita of ssoo.ooo,which is fully employed in the'vast business in which the proprie tors are engaged. Besides the Home In stitution, and the Atlanta Branch, ihev have a very flourishing Branch in San Fiancisco, Cal. They claim to have sue cessful'y treated over 40,000 cases, and among this number has been every con ceivable deformity, and all kinds of chronic diseases, including deformities of (lie face, hands, legs, feet and spine, diseases of the joints, hip and spine, pa ralysis, piles, fistula, fever sores, stiff joints, cleft palates, hare lips, cross and sore eyes, catarrh, rheumatism, female diseases, private diseases. &c.. A'c. They have extensive shops for tlie manu facture of the varied apparatus and appli ances they make use of, and employ over eighty men as surgeons and skilled ma chinists and assistants in the Institution. '1 heir patients come from every Slate in tlse Cnion, and from the Catadas and Central and South America. THE ATLANTA BRANCH. The large number of patients visiting tlie Home Institute from the Southern State* led to the establishment of a South ern Branch. After thoroughly canvassing the South and the interests of the afflicted —i weighing all the advantages and dis fc&TO i~s centr!i’l"! nt'ii'iMin', 1 '! s”U ability by railroads centering there; its great altitude and bealtlifulness ; its splen did Hotel accommodations, schools, churches and amusements, the great busi ness energy and thrift of its people, and its magnanimous hospitality to visitors, so characteristic of the South. The building occupied is anew brick four stories high, built for the purpose, and is located on the north tide of the Union Depot, opposite the passenger entrance. The basement is oc cupied with the shops engine-room, move ment and vacuum cure rooms, which are conveniently arranged for the work. The second story contains the consultation and examination rooms, apparatus room, lady's fitting room, bath-rooms, dining-room, re ception, office rooms and parlors, the bal ance of this story and the next are occu pied as sleeping apartments for the pati ents, which together with a number of rooms in an adjoining building nfford ac commodation for about otje hundred pati ents. These rooms are ail fitted up and furnished in first-class style, and are as comfortable as at any liotol in the State, and it is sufficient to say that the table is fully up to the balance of the house and the charges for board quite moderate. The appointments and appliances made use of in the treatment of deformities are com plete in every respect, no expense spared in this direction, and so far as my observation went, the surgeons are fully prepared to do all ami more than they pro posed to do. During the two months I re mained at the Institute 1 saw all the de formities and diseases they propose to cure under successful treatment, I also saw many of their old patients who had been to Indianapolis, and these, with the new ones, express the utmost satisfaction with their treatment. Though this Branch has only been in operation a little over a year, it has now under treatment, over one thousand pati ents, coining from Tennessee, Virginia, North and South Carolina. Florida, Ala bama, Mississippi, Louisiana, Arkansas, and our own favored State, is well repre sented- Owing to the rapid facilities they have for manufacturing apparatus, and the vast number of cases treated, they are prepared to do their work much lower than it can be done at any similar Institute in the land. While there I saw no case turned away from inability to pay. While the Surgeons are doing so much for humanity, there is one feature of their work not so pleasant to contemplate—l refer to that class of cases who either from the nature of their disease or delay in having it attended to, are beyond the reach of human aid. It is truly sad to see these unfortunates, when the examining Surceon has told 'hern that their cases are incurable. No doubt ful or hopeless cases are undertaken. The Surgeons are men of vast experience in the specialties they treat, and of undoubted ■ -il and ability, (as thousands are ready t) testify,) and are assisted by an ample cort a of machinists and apparatus fitters. To those who may contemplate a visit to the Institute I would say that they will find these men not only skilled and experienced in their profession, but warm hearted, genial gentlemen, who will do all in the power to make their atay at the Institute not only profitable but pleasant. It will give me pleasure to answer in quiries with reference to the Institute either personally or by letter. Address JOHN STRICKLAND, Ne. 2, Macon & Brunswick Railroad, Wayne County, Ga.
