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.
