HAWKINSVILLE, OA., Mancii 14,1871,
Janauschkck. —The stage-loving
imputation of Macon were highly
honored and delighted, last week,
with a visit from the celebrated queen
of tragedy, Janauachek, (pronounced
ia hoosicr parlance, Guano Sack, or
Johnny Shank,) who spent several
nights In the city, entertaining large
audiences in Ralston Hall, and gath
ering many greenbacks for her labors.
Though none of Johnny Shank's kind
have over deigned to appear in this
wire-grass region, yet*we have in
Hawkinsville a few citisecs who have
Sufficient appreciation for the stage
%o go to Macon on occasions when
fkr-famed actresses appear upon the
boards of that city.
Thiee of our young bachelor citi
at ns could not debar themselves the
pleasure of a glimpse at the lovely form
•f Miss or Mrs. Jo|my . Shank, (we
didn’t learn her “entitlement’’) while
a few others oould not allow filly
ailos to deter them from a look at
these rare and costly jewels valued at
one hundred and nine thousand
dollars, given Mrs. J. by the crowned
beads of Europe ! It may be expe
dient in this instance to state that
the editor of the Dispatch was of
those who took a peep at such magnify
fleent jowelery. Hundreds, [and j»er
thousands, put themselves to
■such trouble and expense to see those
costly presents, and, may be, are yet
deluded by the belief that they were
contributed to Mrs. Johnny by the
kings, queens, emperors and empress
es of Europe! Os course they are
valued at one hundred and nine thou
sand dollars, coming as they did
from such royal and distinguished
personages 1 We believe it—every
■word of it—you know * When our
paste boy learns the art perfectly,
wo’ll see if he can make anything sim
ilar to those jewels we saw in Macon.
■eatvsl of Political Disabilities
The bill recently indroduced into
the House of Representatives of the
United States removing the political
disabilities of Southern citizens was
passed by that body a few .days ago
aad ia now pending before tiie Sen
ate. The list comprises the names of
several hundred Georgians, of
whom we find the following in our
immediate section:
Wilcox county—Wright Tumber-
Un, George C. Reed, Drury Reed,
Darling Johnson, C. Harvey, S. Bow
en, and Smith Turner.
Dooly county—Shepard Rogers,
James Brown and J. J. Collier.
Nearly every county in this part
of the State has from one to a dozen
of its citizens named upon the list,
but we cannot, st present, afford
space for the publication of their
oames. We hope Congress will pass
the bill at an early day, and thereby
grant to our people their just
rights.
Ddath or Mr. Jamks Bazemore.
—This gentlemsn, so well known to
the citizens of Dooly county, and son
in-law Qf Mr. Stephen Woodward,
died r few days ago on iiis farm near
the city of Macon. Mr. Bazemorn
was a most estimable gentlemsn and
had many friends in this section.

Senator Sherman’s Hill, now .before
Congress, prohibiting the issue of bills
for money, railroad fare, or otherwise,
to pass as currency, by any corpora
tion other than the national banks,
has passed the Senate, and will, no
doubt, receive a favorable actiou from
the House of Representatives. The
law is a most important one, and, if
it should be sustained by the courts,
will work serious incouvenience to
many corporations and communities in
this State.
The Savannah Republican, discuss
ing tbe subject, says:
“We suppose t'-iis bill was prima
rily aimed at the Central Road, but
will probably give less.trouble to that
instution than to any other, as st can,
at any day, withdraw its bills without
serious inconvenience to its opera
tions. But there are cities and rail
roads in the State which have issued
largely of these proscribed bills, and
to which payments will he made io
them, sud nothing else, for some
time to come; and without the liberty
of payiug them out again, how will
they get along? The Macon and
Brunswick, road, wc learn, has out a
large issue—how will it pay expen
ses ?• The Brunswick and Albany
Road has out a large quantity, but
we believe they are already refused,
and treated as worthless by the road
itself. The city ot Macon has issued
a very large amount of bills, and will
be seriously inconvenienced by hav
£g to take them in payment ot ail
fabts, without the liberty of paying
debts with them.”
The Republican may be right in
its statement as regards the city of
Macon and the Central ar.d Bruns
wick and Albany Roads, but we arc
almost confident that the Macon and
Brunswick Railroad has a smaller
amount of its own currency in circu
lation than any other corporation ol
the kind in the State. The Road has
never issued bills higher than the de
nomination of three dollars, and if
it were required to redeem them on
the shortest notice, we believe no
serious inconvenience to the company
wobld jesult therefrom. But the va
rious communities along the line of
the Macon and Brunswick Road would
suffer by the withdrawal of these
change bills from circulation. As
our people are without the capital
to organize National banks it
seems they are to be deferred by
Congressional action from even is
suing or receiving any kind of locnl
currency. This course may be in ac
cords nc with the Constitution, yet
it is far from being right. If wc have
sufficient confidence in a corporation
to receive its issues in the transaction
of everyday business, it is not the
duty of Congress to interfere iu the
matter.
New Railroad Brake.— A new
invention has recently been brought
to the attention of railroad men,
known as the “ Westinghouse Air
Brake," which, if reports prove true,
can be made a great blessing to the
traveling public. It was tried upon
the State Road at Atlanta last week
with the following results, as gtven
by the Atlanta Sun: “On the first
trial the train was stopped in 15 sec
onds after the application of the bjake
within a compass of about 350 feet
when the train was running at the
rate of thirty-five miles per hour. On
a sec ond trial the train was arrested
in 20 seconds after the application of
the brake in a compass of about
450 feet when the train was running
at the rate of 45 miles per hour. The
train comprised five passenger coach
es. The stop is made without any
jolt or jar and without the disagreea
ble screeching common to the hand
brake.”
Cottojj at Macon.— The Tele
graph of last Thursday says: “The
receipts yesterday were 82 bales—
the heaviest we have had during the
*eek just ended. The receipts for
the week ending yesterday
were 326 bales. The receipts of the
first woek in March last year, were
1,226, or nearly four times as great as
those of this week.”

In a late article it) the Sun, Mr.
Stephens, after stating the great issue
in the coming election—Free Con
stitutional Government vs. Consoli
dation and Empire—thus speaks ot
the candidate es the Labor Reformers
for President:
“Whether the laborers’ Conven
tion iu Ohio have indicated a "proper
man to be the standard-bearer of tbe
combined hosts in this great conflict,
we are not prepared to say. We do
not know enough of Judge Davis,
but we are gratified in being able to
say, that what we do know of him
has nothing about it unfavorable to
that position. It : s true he sustained
the war “for the maintenance of the
Union under the constitution,” with
all his zeal aud ability; but if we un
derstand his position since that war
was over, he has l«en equally zealous
iu his opposition to the uew war since
then, inaugurated by the present
Radical dynasty against ten States
of the Union, and still waged by
them against the constitution it
self.”
Emigrating to Arkansas.— Large
numbers sf the people of North Geor
gia arc moving to the,Western States.
Tbe Rome papers state that on Mon
day of last week a large planter of
Arkansas named F. A. Mayo left
Floyd county with an (emigrant train
“for Indian Bay, Monroe oounty,
Arkansas. He takes about sixty
emigrants, mostly from Alabama, but
a few from Floyd county. Some got
left, but he made arrangements to
forward them on Thursday night next.
S. L. Atkinson aud G. B. Lovett
were the only gentlemen from Rome
who left. Judge Tom Perry, the
agent of Mr. Mayo in Rome, accom
panied the emigrants to the train,
married o»6 couple, insured tho. life
of another, and wept fearful adieus
to the rest. For the benefit of the
friends of the emigrants we will state
that they have contracted to work
with Mr. Mayo on shares; they doing
the work, and he taking one-third of
the crop; he furnishing stock, and
they to plant ten acres to the hand,
six iu cotton and three in corn.”
The Washington correspondent ol
the Atlnnta Constitution calls at
tention to the fact that tiie Senate
bill that was passed through the
House last week upon motiou of Gen.
Young, and which relieved the disa
bilatics of over three thousand |«r
sous in Georgia and Southern
States, must again pass the first
named body before becoming a law,
as it was originally passed by that
body during the last Congress.
The Albany City, alluding
to the recent Senatorial election in
that place, says: Many were the
colored voters who came up like free
men and voted the straightforward,
unequivocal Democratic ticket. Wc
wish we knew them all, that we might
tell the people who they were. One
colored man, who works hard and
faithfully at forty cents per day, came
up in the evening and paid four dol
lars, a double tax, that lie might
vote for the Democratic nominee.
His name is Henry. Wc could not
obtain his sir name.

The Bank Robbery at Fort Val
ley.—On Monday night of last week,
as we learn from the Fort Valley Mir
ror, tho Planter’s Bank at that place
was robbed of fifteen thousand dol
lars.
The robbers entered through the
rear door by the use of a lever made
of cast steel for the purpose. Alter
opening the door they proceeded to
open the door. Thoy attempt
ed to drill out the bolts in the lock,
but finding that plan too slow, prized

bars. It appere that the worst job
of all, was the easiest performed, that
was, obtaining entrance to the mo
ney safe. This was done with gun
powder placed in tbe safe lock some
how, and exploded, several gentle
men heard the noise, but did.not sus
pect anything. The bold act was per
petrated about 1 o'clock in the night
They left some of their tools in the

consisted of crow-bars, brace and
drill, one dark lantern, some kind of
screws, a pair of hand-cuffs, etc., ma
king a complete set of burglars’ in
strument*. They also left, a bottle of
chloroform.
A New Way to Get Rid or a
Wife. —A correspondent writing
from near Laurel Hill, on the Wil

Railroad, gives us tbe particulars of
a novel marriage in that vicinity, re

tired of his wife, after living with
her al>out fifteen years, and hired
another man to take her over to
South Carolina and marry her, giving
him a mule and fifty-five dollars in mon.
cy to take her off his hands. We have
the names of tiie parties, but think
proper to withhold them.

Homicide in Columbus.— We learn
from the Enquirer that on Wendnob
day night last a dreadful tragedy oc
curred In the city of Columbus, of
which the following are the particu
lars bo far obtained :
About 2 o’clock on Wednesday Dr.
E. F. Colzey sought Mr. Charles
Ligon, the son of Mr. John Ligon,
of this city and finding him
on lower Broad street, he confronted
him and said: “You know I told you
once if you were to violate the sancti
ty of my house, by improper con
duct with a daughter of mine, I
would take your life, and I come to
do it.” Mr. Ligon, raising his hand
started toward the Doctor, where
upon he fired two pistol shots at him,
one of which took effect in the left
temple, passing into his brain—
whether the second did or not, we
have not heard. I)rs. Stanford and
Terry were called to see him, but
could render no assistance. Tiie
young man was carried to his father's
residence, where lie soon expired.
Dr. Colzey hunted up Sheriff Brad
ford and delivered himself into his
custody, and he is now in the charge
of that officer. We are informed
that a preliminary examination will
take place this morning at 11 o'clock.
We do not know the particulars, but
the evidence will show whether this
wuß or was not one of justifiable
homicide. The deceased was only
about 21 years old.

causing death in thirty-six hours—
