Heath ofUeu Wolford
On last Thursday G-n William
T Wofford died at hia,home near
Cassville, Ga.. after a protracted
sickness. The death of no public
man in the State will be received
with more profound regret among
many of our readers than tb it cf
this gentlemau, with whom they
were intimately associated during
long yeais of trials and suffering
on the tented field. For several
years be was the brigade command
er of Cobb s old brigade, in which
there were three companies from
Gwinnett. And wba ever faults
be may have had, no tiuer man or
braver soldier ever followed the
flag of Itt Confederacy, or ever
led a charge. While tie did not
make as much reputation as Gen.
Cordon and other Confederate of
ficers fiom this State, it was be
ceuse the opportunity was not as
forded him. He was a strange
to fear, and no matter what the
danger or the odds lie hail to
meet, he struck the enemy with a
daring anil intrepid.ly that com
manded the lere of liis men and
the confidence of his superiors,
Modest and unassuming, he
could be approached bv the hum
blest soldier in his command as
easily as by the officers, he was al
wav3|kiudand obliging, willing
■o bear his part of the burdens of
the campaign and sympathising
with the misfortunes of his fellows
In private life no man would
have concluded that snder ibat
modest, quiet exterior, beat a aeart
as bold as a lion and fearless as
Marshal Ney. And no man who
ever btw him in uction, leading
his men into the jaws of dea h,
hut entertaiued for hitn the high
est respect.
lie was an honest and an earn
est man. In war and iu peace, he
prided himself upon his in tegrity
and courage, and won a name that
will live when the marble shaft
tha will be ere. ted to his memo
rv shall have c, nmbled to dust.
He was a natural son of Gen
Wofford, one of 4 the leading law
yers and politicians of North Ga.
and was born ia Habersham coun
tv in 1823. He entered public
life in 1840 as a member of the
Legislature- He commanded a
company in the Mexican war and
won renown on the plains of Mexi
co as i gallant soldier. Although
an extreme Union man, as soon as
the tocsin of war sounded in his
native State he tendered his
8" ord and was made Colonel o
the 18th Ga., and subsequently
promoted to the command of a
brigade. About the close of the
war he was sent back to Georgia,
and put in charge of the State ; n
the rear of Sherman’s army and
remained in command here until
the surrender.
After the war he retired to the j
pi actice of his profession and lat
er retired to his farm, where he en
gaged in Agricultural pursuits.
ffe was a mtrnber of] the Con
stitutional Convention of 1877,
that framed our present cm stitu
tion.
He made some mistakes in poli
tics and this impaired hit useful
ness, but no stain of dishonor wa 8
ever cast upon his integrity and
the brilliant fame he had won at
the gannon's mouth.
Georgia can well afford to hon
or such true and gallant sons,
and in doing so she but li mors
herself.
Nomethig new under the Nun,
We attended the mee ing of
James’ cieditors last week in Al
ia., a. and saw what we believe
was "Something new under the
Sun. - ’
There were congregated in the
basement of the court houpo about
two hundred long faces of all
classes Theie were merchants
ami mechanics, farmers and pro
fassional men, young-man about
towi), and gray headed father,
whose pinched fea'ures and wrinK
led face told that he had fought
his last battle with adversity, wo
men and even the colored brother
were there. It wus a sad looking
crowd, who hail not laid their liras
ures up in Heaven.
After the business part of the
meeting was over, Mr. Janies was
invited to come before the tui et- i
ing and talk, and when he made |
his appearance Lie was received
with a roar of applause, such as
the couquering heroes receive
when he returns wiih the palms
of victory in his hand
Solomau, in all his glory, never 1
saw a long line of creditors cheer
ing dis man who had wasted their
hard earnings iu wild speculation.
And we are glad to note that Mr.
James met this remarkable mani
festation with a becoming spirit.
While tears rolled down his cueeks
he pledged his life to ( ay the lust
<1 llai he owed if his credit n s
would have patience with him.
Hon J B Eustis has been elect
ed Senator from Louisiana.
“The .Tames Failure,
lohn 11. James has made a com
ph-te failure this 'into from which
he will no be able to recover for
a loug time if over. He Ins a*
last succeeded in famishing afuH
s atement of his liabilities and
they amount to $495,000, of this
amount *170,000 are open depos -
its aud 315.000 interest benriDg
deposits. His assets are estimat
ed at about four hundred tbou
■aud but will hardly bring that.
The creditors who entrusted their
money with him must loose.
Wba t amount he will be able to
pay is and will continue for some
time to be doub'ful. And this
loss falls heavily upo» a large
class who cannot afford to loose
their hard earning*. It is probable
that lie bad more depositors among
the working class than anyotber
banking institution in thecountry
The mechanics and laboring men
of the city have for years left their
mi ney wi'h him for safe keeping
and the announcement of his fail
ure came upon them l ; ke a clap of
thunder from a clear sky.
A large amount was also depos
ited by farmers aud citizens of
other counties. It is stated that
Walton county alone will loose
fifteen thousand dollars, what ihe
amoun* will he in Gwinnett we
have no means of knowing, hut
understand it will run up to stv
eral thousand.
At a partial meeting cf the cred
itors last week, it was agreed tl at
the assignment made by Mr,
•lames be allowed to stand, ar.d
that «fi«r paying $50,000. which
is about ten per cent and the
bullance of the debts to be capi
talized. and take the property be
longing to James and dispose of
it to ihe bast advantage. A guar
antee of 4 per cent per annum be
ing given upon all of the outs!and
ing debts.
The effect of this agreement will
be that non prefered creditors
will get about (iOcts on the dollar
for their claims.
Congressman Nichols was the
only member cf tiie Georgia dele
gation who voted against the tariff
bill, for which he was ssverely
criticised by the Savannah News.
Mr. Nicholas has written a letter
in which he seeks to detend him
self aud explaiu his position. —
There will hardly b® high tariff
men enough iu the first district to
return the Hon John C. to Wash
ington. The people are in favor
of revenue reform, aud they de
sire to be represented by a man
who agrees with them upon this
question. There may be some
difference of opinion in Democvai
i; circles a* to the policy of mak
ing this issue in this Congress,
but a large majority of people, as
will be seen when the issue is sub
mitted to them iu this State, are
opposed to a high tariff', and will
vote for a reduction whenever the
opportunity offers.
The Macon Telegraph thinks
that the negro is not maih testing
that high-spirit of philanthropyand
chivalric devotion to the welfare
of his own race that should be
coraj a people who Lave just been
emancipated from slavery. In the
Island of Cuba slaverystill exis s in
its worst foim and Gen Auguoro is
balling to free tbe country from
Spanish rule and offering freedom
to the slaves, and yet not a negro
from the United States has should
ered his musket and started to the
help of his suffering friouds-
It will he a cold day when the
negroes risk their lives for their
fellows. A race that set still and
have freedom thrust upon them
can hardly be expected to appre
ciate liberty high enough to aid
either with muscle or money their
fellows in throwing off the yoke
of slavery elsewhere. They are
filling the roll which the Creator
assigned them.
The lOffth anniversary of the
-Mecklenburg declaration of Inde

There was a grand military and

Gen Jubal A Early, the old Con

New Orleans. He is getting old

Savannah has furnished the la

L. Dean shot and instantly killed
his brother David J. Dean for se

David, the younger had no family;
and succeeded in seducing the
daughter of his brother. When
confronted with the yout g lady

ried her away and returned to the

He dropped to the floor a lifeless

10 a policeman, whom he informed
of his crime and was lodged iu

sembled and returned a verdict of
justifiable homicide anu he was
set free.

It seemes that Stevs Morris and
his wife Nancy did not dwell alto

of matrimony. So much so, in
deed, that Nancy's affections be
came alienated and fastened upon
Lyons. A week ago Dsd
and Nancy, alter deliberating up
ou the si uation, the embarrass

the ln’sbaad, was an encumbrance
of which they had better rid them
selves. Accordingly a deadly pois

which Nancy, in her province as
cook, mixed skilfully with the food

When dea'hjcame to Steve's re
