A lamentable affair occurred
near Harmony Grove in Putnam
County Friday night of last week.
The Sheriff of that County, Mr.
Lawrence was shot by u negro des
perado by the name of Henry Jack
son. Mr. Lawrence had a war
rant for the arrest of Henry Jack
son and knowing tho desperate char
acter of the negro and his avowed
purpose of never being taken alive,
he summoned a party of mon to
assist in making the arrest. The
party proceeded to the head quar*
tors of the negro in the neighbor- 1
hood of Harmony Grove. Mr.
Lawrence with another one of the
party came up on the negro asleep in
the woods , and thinking him one
of their own party, spoke to him
and woke him up. As soon as he
awoke, he picked up an old musket
by his side, fired upon the two
men, the shot taking effect in the
body of Mr. Lawrence. It being in
tbo night, and Mr. Lawrence and
his friend having no weapons but
pistols the negro succeeded in
making his escape. Wo are glad
to learn the wound received by
Mr. Lawrence did not prove fatal,
. and that he will, in all probability,
recover.
Henry Jackson is well known
to many of the people of this
County. We never knew of a
more desperate character. Ho
made his escape from our jail year
before last. Ho is tho perpetrator
of many crimes that arc unpunish
ed. Ho has bid the law defiance,
and openly avows that ho will
rnever be taken alive. We are sat
isfied that no one would go to the
trouble of taking him alive if they
eould. Any person would be jus
../ I • kM At wk*
■They wouiua mau (tog.
We learn Putnam County has
offered two hundred and fifty dol
lars reward for him, dead or alive.
Greene County ought to offer an
-additionod reward of the same
amount.
We call the attention of our
readers to the extract from Senator
Voorhees’ speech, published in
this issue. It has about it tho ring
of the true metal. It is not strange
that the radical party should raise
the cry of “Mexicanization,” when
its frauds were about to bo
exposed to the world. As the
great Indianian says, it is but the
cry of the frightened and guilty.
But what excuse under heaven has
any Democrat for joining in such
a demoniacal yell ? Some appear
to be sympathizing with Mr.
Hayes and his party in thi3 inves
tigation, Who is Hayes that hi 3
official robes are two sacred to be
touched, or hi3 tenure of offico too
holy to be inquired into? But we
are told Hayes has acted fairly to
wards the South. Ho has done
nothing but what he was obliged to
-do. But granting that ho has
favored us from a generous conde
scension. Are we to be bribed by
favors to keep mum, ar.d say noth
ing against a President and facto,
who is the product of the greatest
Tascality ever recorded in history 7
It is to be regretted that this
'Country has not fewer friends of
Hayes, and more such men as
Voorhees.
We also call attention to the ar
ticle copied from the Washington
Tost, and published elsowere in this
issue, which gives concisely the
Tesults thus far of the Potter in
vestigation. The Committee has
-done faithful and efficient work.—
Already has it developed facts
'Sufficient to establish beyond doubt
the basest frauds, in the last Presi->
dential election, that were ever
perpetrated upon the people,—
We do not know whether Mr.
Hayes is a party to those frauds
or Dot. But the weight of evidence
is against him. It appeal's that
all the criminals —except hco
®umberiag otter one hundred, who
were implicated in the election
frauds in FlorMa and Lousiana, have
been rewarded with offices by
Mr. Hayes’s direct order or request—and
in some cases by his persistent and
continued interference. If this is
not a badge of fraud, we have never
understood tbc meaning of the
phrase Still we must not attack
the sacred character of this high
priest of the Republican Party-
Rut the work of the Committee
has only fairly commenced. We
can not tell, of course, whore it will
end. One thing is cortain : it is
not working up any “Contempti
blo farce.” As to its ending in a
“horrible tragedy,” wo trust it
will so end so far as concerus all
those who are implicated, directly,
or indirectly, in the election frauds
—if it he a “horrible tradegy” to
send them all to felows’dangerous.
CAPITAL NOTES.
[Special correspondence of the If skald-]
A HASTY GLANCE.
SPECULATIONS AND RE
MARKS.
YOUNG MEN IN POLITICS.
Atlanta, Wednesday Aug, 14.
About the capital tboro rests the
same unbroken summer dullness
which was here when I last wrote
you. Many of our people are off
at the resorts enjoying rest, quiet
and coolness. The politicians have
almost abandoned us to shift for
ourselves. There are, of course
os many tricks fixed up as usual
hut the time for their execution
seems not yet at hand. Matters
arc so mixed in our own district
that we amuse ourselves watching
the other parts of the State.
We love to look at Mr. Stephens
and tho manner in which he has
managed his once refractory Dis
trict. He has shown the sagacity
and pluck of ahold leader and now
has things all his own way, it
seems. We cast an eye to the
heated seventh where Judge Les.-
ter and Dr- Felton stand perpetu
ariTTim?o iu p r oTnTsfng"
warfare which as yet seems too
troubled’to show any definite result.
The Fourth District is becoming
interesting. To Mr. Harris there
is opposition strong and aggressive.
He will have a bad pull to get the
nomination. The Convention will
meet in Columbus next Wednesday
and he will go into it with more
votes then anyjother man, but with
enough opposition to beat him un
der the two thir ls rulo if it is pro
perly directed. The best guessors
have already pointed out Judge
Martin J. Crawford, as the “dark
horse” in the race, and there are
numerous predictions that he will
quietly walk off Jwith the prize
when the well matched contestants
weary each other down in the
struggle. Judge Crawfosd is just
the man. He has every requisite,
and we want such men as he in
Congress.
In the Ninth, Mr. Emory Speer is
wildly opposing Col. Billups whom he
cannot hope to ’beat. Fie has gottea
him a big wool bat and is plaving the
old-fashioned politician beautifully.—
They say that in his speeches ho pan
ders to bad feelings and feeds dark pre
judices. It is becoming more and
more plainly td appear that this brill
iant young man is afflicted with a ma
nia for fame. His present course will
probably secure it, though not in the
way he desires or expects. 001. Billups
will sweep the District, so the best in
formed men say, and Mr. Speer; will
have to wait uutil he has added pru
dence to his wisdom, and tempered his
ambition with the sober sense which
experiene teaches rather roughly to
him who tries to defy her tender tui
tion. Col, Billups will represent the
State ably in Congress. He is a man
of the old school, one who scorns the
tricks of modern polities, and cherishes
the almost abandoned notion that vir
tue and honesty will win over the
sharpest cunning and the most unprin
cipled clemency. Mr. Speer’s youth is
no argument against him, for I believe
it to be a good principle to encourage
young men to aspire to participate in
political affairs. The young men of
any free country, if true to themselves,
are really its rulers. Fogyism cannot
withstand enthusiasm. Conservatism
cannot crush the spirit of onwardness,
if you will allow me to coin a word I
It is the high privilege and the duty of
every youug man in our State to take
an active part iu the management of
our polities. Every young man of suf
ficient ability and becoming modesty,
lias a right to aspire to political honors,
if his tastes lie in that direction. There
is as little sense as there is liberality iu
the view that all youug men arc rash
and impetuous. Tho history of all
great movements will show that they
have been pushed to success, if not inr
spired in the beginning by the untiring
energy and burning zeal of the young
men of the time. It is the young men
who reform when reform is most need
ed. The young men meet the terrible
issues that threaten ruit, and by their
undaunted pluck turn th-m into good
results. We should encourage every
where in young (Sen a proper interest
in polities. They have tho power we
need. Without it the wheels of pro
gress would clog and the progressive
ness of the age would slowly slacken
and die. AJACIvS.

The When l Crop of liift L’nl
tcl Slates.
As the wheat crop of 1878 is
now attracting general attention,
the following communication, which
appeared in the Chicago Tribune
of Saturday last will prove of inter
est :
“Tho winter wheat crop of the
United States outside of California
is 66 per cent, of our whole crop;
the increased acreage of 1878 is
one-quarter, or 16| percent. The
average yield for ten years has
been eleven bushels per acre ; this
year it is sixteen bushels, or 37|
per cent, increase, which, is a to
tal of 120, or a crop of winter
wheat alone, 20 per cent, over an
average crop of both winter and
spring wheat. For the crop of
spring w heat for 1878 we will take
the statements of the short-crop
theorists as a basis, with 34 per
cent, as tho usual proportion of
spring wheat, and one-quarter in
crease in 1878 is 82 per cent, or a
total of 42l per cent. Wo will
now allow, for argument, that one
half of tho spring wheat crop is
damaged 50 per cent., which gives
us 32 as net per cent, of the spring
wheat crop, or a total result of
both winter and spring wheat of
152, or 52 per cent, above an aver
age.”
The following is the first reliable
statement which wo have seen of the
strength of the Quakers, or Friends, in
tho world. It will be noticed that they
are much more numerous in America,
than in their old home, England. They
are a highly respectable body of peo
ple ; hut they aro slowly diminishing
in numbers. Many of their members
aro gradually passing over to other de
nominations. Plainly enough they have
departed widely from the New Tes
tament form of the Chureh; and tho
attempt to introduce a mode of worship
that ignores, in a measure, all external
forms and rites, does not harmonize
with the needs and character of men,
such as they necessarily are, in the ir
present condition. It will be noticed,
too, how much stronger they are, rela
tively, in tho West (Indiana, Wiscon
sin, lowa, etc.,) than in their old home
in and around Philadelphia:
The number of members of tho So
cioty of Friends composing the various
“Yearly Meetings” in the world, is,
according to the latest returns, 78,140,
as follows: New England, 4,499; New
York, 3,306; Canada, 1,624; Philadel
phia (estimated), 3,500; Baltimore,
650; North Carolina, 4,200; Ohio, 3,-
194; Indiana. 16,057; Wisconsin, 11,-
696; lowa, 8,566; Kansas, 3,420. To
tal on the Auiericao Continent, 42,712.
London Yearly Meeting (comprising
England), 14,199; Dublin, 2,935; Aus
tralia, 254. There are also a few
Friends scattered over France, Germa
ny and Norway.
THE MOTHER
Often innocently gives her nursing little
one the severest Colic or Cholera Infantum
by indulging herself in fruits and vegeta
bles. Parker’s Ginger Tonic, taken freely
by the mother, will not only counteract
this dangerous effect on her babe, but will
strengthen her own nervous and phj’sical
system, and impart to her little one quiet,
cheerfulness, freedom from pain; ar.da dis
position to refreshing sleep. It is a most
cheering relief from the miseries of Dys
pepsia, Hedache, Nervousness, Palpitation.
Heartburn, Liver disorders, Constipation,
Low Fpirhs and Wakefulness, nnd the
dangerous Cholera Infantum, Cramps, Col
ic, Cholera Morbus, Diarrhoea and Dysen
tery are rendered harmless and speedily
cured by this matchless and invigorating’
corrective. Huy from your druggist, John
A. Gridin, a $1 bottle or a sample bottle
at 15 cents and test its merits.

r lhe dettrminatiun of Gen. Sher
man’s son, Thomas Ewing Sher
man, tojb.’come a priest, revives
the romauic story of the life and
love of on< of Gen. Scott’s daugh
ters. As the story goes, this
daughter ;‘ell deeply in love with
a mombeiof one of the foreign le
gations. The attachment wa3 re
ciprocatel, hut the match was so
bitterly ‘pposed by the old hero of
Lundy’s Lane that it was broken
off. She;area nothing for the world
after tha . and very soon was re
ceived asa nun in the Georgetown
convent. Her lover returned to
his native country, and was soon
enrolled 1 in the priesthood of the
Catholic! church. In subsequent
years he was ordered to George
town college, and took his turn in
hearing the confession of the nuns
at the convent. On one of these
occasions Miss Scott knelt in the
confessional to her former lover,
and under such circumstances a
recognition took place. She fain
ted, went into a rapid decline, and
soon after died, and he left the
country never again to return.—
So a Washington gossip declares.
SiiiXiuK The lliMli Psalm.
At Stokesley Yorkshire, there
lives a man who once assisted in
singing the whole of the 119th
Psalm. This, added to the fact
that he is descended from a long
line of gravo-diggers, has gained
for him there a respect of his lol
low-townsmen. About sixty years
ago the parson of that parish
thought it his duty to assist at
christening tea parties. These
two functionaries quarreled, and
the parson one day commanded
the clcrk’3 presence at an hour
when he knew that certain tea
cakes and muffins would be at their
best. The clerk S3W the move,
and he determined on his revenge.
Having got the choir and band on
his side, on a Sunday morning
when the parson had shortened his
sermon in order to d’no with Dar
by and Joan, just married, instead
of giving out part one of the 1 I 9th
Psalm the clerk gave out, “Let us
sing to the praise and glory of
I J-'L IhtsJ vw&lLp n
ihe parson, with nis head on the
pulpit cushion, f.,r some time did
not notice what was going on. and
by tho time that he did the musi
cians were fairly at work, and in
spite of all he could say or do were
not to be denied. The air was
never lost. The fiddlers wore out
there bows and strings, the flute
player blew out his front teeth, the
clariouot never recovered its tone,
and the singers all suffered more
or less, but they kept it up to the
bitter end. and finished at three
o'clock in the afternoon, after four
hours’ work. Many of the congre
gation went to their dinner and
returned in the afternoon to finish
but the parson won much respect
by sticking to his pulpit to the
last, whei he gave the usual
benediction.

lie Anew llkuself.
A man forty years old and as
long as a rail, went into the bank
Saturdav to get the cash on a thir
teen -dollar check.
“You will have to be indentifi
ed,” said the cashier as he leoked
at the check.
“Pm tho man,” was the reply.
“But I don’t know who you are.”
“But I do.”
“You must bring someone here
that knows you.”
“Don’t I know myself?” ex
claimed the check tender.
“But I must know you. You
may be Tom Jones for all that I
know.
“You must be a consarned fool
to think I’m someone else,” growl
ed the man in response.
“You must be identified,” ob
served the cashier.
“That’s my name, I tell ye, and
this is me, and if this bank gets
me riled, I’ll lick the hull crowd
of you over behind the railing ! ’
The cashier wouldn’t pay, and
the man couldn’t find any one who
knew him, and at noon he was wai

him to come out.”
