whom lie was married only twice when

two weeks after lie was married he
was converted and baptized.- Advance.
A writer, in the Constitution, is
stirring up the people of Atlanta in
reference to the formation of a city
park. From his articl >, we extract
the following paragraph :
Hcte we have a city of 30,000 in
habitants, full of energy and business
—a city that is known and talked of
from Maine to California—and yet we
cannot lay claim to the first instance
of refinement and art Why should
wo not have our park beautifully laid
out, wliere the traveler, visitor, or
citizen might spend a pleasant hour,
looking around amid the trees and
shrubbery, with here and there a stat
ue erected in honor of the memory ol
our great' statesmen. Is it possible
that this It ad-center of Georgia will
allow people to talk of her as they d",
forgetting that Pinks, G-ailci ies-of Aa t,
Statuary, eto , present in themselves a
device of taste and refinement, that
have made the cities ol Europe vvor-d -
rtuuwncd.
Farmer’s Granges.
This new order like all other sesret
organiz itions, when once it gets a
start among the people, it spreads
like the fire in a burning prairie. A
few months ago yon could hear but
little said about the Granges, or Pat
rons of Husbandry, as they are some
- called, but the increase has been
so rapid, that a county can scarcely
be found, which if it has not already
a Grange is trying its best to organ
ize one.
If this organization has nothing to
do with politics it may result in si.in
good, but whenever it tries to control
the political opinions of its members,
then it will share a similar fate to the
Know-nothings and Union Leagues.
We are positivdv opposed to any
secret po itical organization, as we be
lieve them all to be corrupt. We pie
dict that the Granges, before the be
ginning of the next political campaign,
will be nothing but a political party,
and all who stick to it will vote one
way ; although they claim Jto be a
non-political organization, and it may
he that the Georgia lodges are not far
enough advanced to see the political
points—yet at this - early day in some
portions of the United Slates politic ■
has been made an open issue in a nom
inating convention, which is shown
from the following extract taken from
one of our exchanges ;
“The Patrons of Husbandry is pro
fessedly a non-political organization,
but many oft 1 e Granges have decided
to nominate Farmers’ tickets this fail.
The first to do so was the Da wet t
county, Illinois, Grange, which nomi
nated a full ticket for county officers
last Salurday .”
Thus you see this organization,
while iu its infancy, lias taken an ac
tive part in polities —boldly asserting
in convention that Granges will sup
port only farmers for offices, and be
fore twelve months you will hear the
same thing repeated on the streets of
Palmetto. The Grange will probably
live until it secures Ulysses the Fro i
deucy for the third term, it will then
be no more, and anew organization
will spring up to secure a forth elec
tion. We say gentlemen go slow
! beware of the Granges—don’t he too
ready to jump into every new thing
that comes along, as it might prove
to he a first-class humbug. If tlie
Grange is a good thing, you will find
it out time enough to join
Twenty Negroes Arrested—Tiic
JLynclicrs of Wyatt, in Madi
son County.
[thorn the Jackson, Tenn., Whig and Tribune.]
On Fiiday of last week, after we
went to press, twenty negro men,
charged with the lynching of Mr
William Hamilton Wyatt, (named by
us last week through misinformation,
Ham), were arrested and brought
to this city ly a large guard ol citi
zens and lodged in jail. They had a
preliminary trial on Monday, and all
hut four of them were admitted to bail
in the sum of SSOO each—Joe Rice,
Monroe Ethridge, Nathan Fain and
Charles Reid, were the four denied
bail.
Nine of those admitted to bail gave
the same and were discharged. The
murder of Wyatt was one of the most
brutal ever recorded in the bloody
book of crime. The negroes v\eie
drunk, and at a late hour in the night,
when their drunken passi ns were at
fever heat, they went to the house of
their victim, rending the ve'y air with
their demoniac yells. The doomed m in
scented to know his peril, and before
the maddened fiends hud reached his
house he took refuge undernea'h the
floor of his bed-room. But his hiding
place was soon discovered, and each
deril incarnate discharged his weapon
until Wyatt’s body was peifora'ted
in every part by the deadly.lead
When dead, his murderer’s retired,
singing and shouting like the dea
inons which hate and revenge had
made them, while the frightened, puz
zled wife and lier helpless little ones
were left in daikness and solitude
with the dead. The story about Wy
att’s having outraged an old negro
woman is false The woman whom it
is charged he violated lives on the
farm of William Manly, and nt erly
denies the whole story, so far aa she is
concern! and.
Wyatt was an East Tennesseean
and did not sustain a very good char
acter, but his tragic death lias shock
ed the whole community, and the wild
e-t excitement, coupled with the most
startling miners, prevail. There is a
rnys ery, dark, and yet impenet"able,
banging over the terrible affair. VV e
cannot believe all that we have heaid,
and caution the people to beware ol
hasty eonclusit ns and hurtful insinua
tions. When fully developed we will
ventilate the whole affair.
The whistles on each end of the
Air-Lino Railroad are in hearing dis
tance of each other, and it is thought
that the cars will run through from
Atlanta to Charlotte, N. C., iu less
lime than two weeks-
'I lie Republicans Alarmed.
A correspondent of the New York
Tribune, writing from PrincetoD, Illi
nois, has this to say in reference to the
political situation in that section : The
Republicans are alarmed. They have
good reason lobe, not so much by the
defeat of Judge Lawrence as by other
! events. Thinking men all over this
[ section of the State who voted for Gen.
; Grant, and who believed last year that
( the salvation of the country depended
I on his re-election, h. ve had their eyes
! opened during the past few months,
j Cicdit Mobilier scandals and corrnp
| tion and dishonesty in almost every de
\ partu ent of the government lias caused
i many staunch Republicans to doubt
| whether the present administration is
| the wisest and best of our history, and
it is a rare tiling in this country to find
a thinking Republican, not a place
hunter or a plaee bolder, who will
stand up in public or in private and
defend his party.
