FRIDAY, DECEMBER 0, 1872
Drnlli of Horace Greeley.
HoraCS Greeley, the recent stand* rd
bearer of llie Conservative party foi
President, it dead f The smmncoment
is startling, hot nevertheless, true. He
died on the evening of the 20tli of No
vi mher, from nervous prostration. Con
stant attendance (and consequent loss
of rest and sleep,) at the bedside of bis
recently deceased wife, proved too great
• strain Upon the nervous system of one
so advanced in yenis, and he speedily
billowed his earthly companion into the
unseen land. A great man baa passed
away ! Os humble origin, by bis own
heroic efforts, be made himself a states
man, and illustrated by bis journalistic
life, that the “Pen is mightier than the
Sword.”
Revolution in Alotmmn.
A serions state i t nfluffs exists at the
Capitol of Alabama, which, in all proba
bility, will be seized upon by tbs Feder
al government as a pretext to inaugu
rate bayonet rule. It appears that the
Radical ffovcraof, Lewis, in defiuuce of
the Constitution and law, totally ignores
the constitutional an I conservative Gen
cral Assembly in session in the Capitol
building, and recognizes a revolutionary
mougiel moli, congregated in the Uuited
States Court Honse, which claims to be
the Constitutional legislative body of the
State. It is composed entirely of car
pet-baggers, scalawags and negroes,
many of whom have been sworn in with
out certificates of election.
The legal Legislature, in session at
the cspitol, is composed solely of men
bolding regular ceiliflentes of election;
it was . officially recognized by Gov,
Lindsey, who was Governor of Alabama
when the Legislature assembled, and
who sent a message to and approved
bills passed by it.
The recognition of the bogus legisla
ture by Gov. Lewis, is an outrage that
the honest, masses will not tolerate, and
the jonrnala of the State are positive in
the expreasion of their indignation. The
Montgomery Adeerlinev says :
Vl’o deprecate any measures which
will involve our country in strife; but in
common with ( very law-abiding man in
the State we are determined to aid in
enforcing the law, cost what it may.
Gov. Lewis’ friends do him no good
when they threaten the lawful Legisla
ture will lawless force In his name, or
by bis authority, ns the Executive of
Alabama. Such threats will cause no
man to swerve a hair's breadth from his
duty!
The poopUj of (his State feel most
deeply in this matter, arid without blns
worst. It tile Court House assemblage
wish to drive over the lawful Legisla
ture with a black radical mob wo are
prepared to meet,the issue. The threats
of bringing in the United States army
are pueiile. We have the law with us;
and all the interests of tha Government
at Washington aro opposed to any in
terference.
These men therefore have nothing to
depend upon tint u black mob, Oppoaed
to this, we have the Constitution, the
laws, and the while militia of of the
Flute. When the contest conies we
have no fear of the result. It would be
worse than folly to shrink from the is
sue; thernttempted revolution is hut the
first breath of the black tempest against
the lawtui break waters of the Conatito
lion. Let it but succeed, and we will
ho confronted with revolution and force
at every turn. Wo will meet it. Wo
know whereof we speak, when declaring
that the true people of Alabama, have
resolved to standby the -Law, perish
who mny in its defence 1 Let the assem
blage at the Court room go on in its
lawless career, and we will do our whole
duty and leave the consequence with
God I
Congrossionnl.
Roth houses organised, with Colfax
and U'alne in the chairs, on Monday last
Avery lengthy message was road from
the President, but as we have not the
patience to make a Bynonsis of the
same, for the present the reader must
be content with the following clause in
regard to the
KIT KLCX.
I do not doubt that a great many ol
the people in nil parts of the country fa
vor the full enjoyment by all classes of
those rights to which they are entitled
under the C> natitulhm and laws, and I
invoke the aid and influence (fall good
citizens to prevent oignnizations whose
objects are by unlawful means, to inter
fere with tl ese rights. I look with eou
fidencs to the time Uot lor distant, when
the ot.vioris advantages of good older
and peace will induce an abandonment
of all combinations prohibited by tin
acts referred to, and when it will tie on
neccs-aiy In carry on pro-cent ions foi
tie lawless doing of such combinations.
Applications have behu made to me to
pardon persons cevieted of a molesta
tion of said acts, upon the ground that
clemency.in sooh eases would tend to
tranqnilrCe the public mind; and to tesi
the virtue ot that policy I am. di-posed.
as far as my sense of justice will pi rmit,
to give such applications u favorable
consideration, But any action 'thereon
is not to be constructed as indicating
a y übaqge in my, determination to e -
for. e with vig..r. such acts so long artl.e
c Ospiracies and combinations therein
rtann-d distill b the peace ot Ihe country
It is umcU to be regretted, nnd is regret-
ted by no one more than myself, that a
necessity hss ever existrd to execute the
Enforcement act. No one can desire
more than I do that the necessity of ap
plying it may never again be demanded.
The following rrsolution in regard to
the death of Horace Greeley was uoani
monsly adopted;
Retnlixid, By the Senate ami Honse. of
Representatives, in view of the recent
death at Horace Greeley, for whom, at the
late election, mi re than three millions of
votos were cast for President, that a rec
ord be made in the Journals of Congress
of appreciation for the eminent services
and personal poriiy and worth of the de
i censed, and of the sad impression crea
ted by bis death, following a keen fami-
I ’y bereavement.
W light ▼». Whlteley.
“Ogeechco,” the well informed Atlan
ta correspondent of tbs Savannah News,
says that after a careful examination of
the grounds upon which General Wright
placed his claim to the certificate of elec
tion as Congressman elect from the Sec
ond District, the Governor, it seems, felt
constrained to give the commission to
Mr. VVliiteley. In this decision he was
supported by the Attorney General, to
whom .be matter was referred. It will
be remembeied that objection was made
to the Counting of the votes polled at
“Jones’ Store,’ in Dougherty county, on
the groand that no precinct had ever
been established there. It appears,
however, that it had been regarded us a
precinct lor many years; that election*
were usually held theie and nowhere
else iu the district; that the polls were
opened there at the election for Governor
and numbers of tbs Legiulalure, and
that i.o objection bnd been naude to the
validity of the same. Besides this, it
is said the Governor did not think he
could ’(gaily go behind the election re
turns—that whilo lie might correct er
rors manifest in the taco of the returns,
such as a mistake in adding np the vote,
bo hud no judicial authority, and could
not set aside the return* themselves.
But all til's does not preclude General
Wright fiom contesting the election be
fore Congress. That body possesses
full powcis in the premises, and all con
tests of tbe kind go properly to that fo
rum, and not to tiie Executive office.
After carefully reading one of tbeoir-'
culars of Wells’ Grand Distiibutb n‘
which takes place in Bridgeport, Conn,,
Dec. 10, 1812, we have become satisfied
that it is an enterprise worthy (be at
tention amt patronage id all. It is u
home affair, endorsed by all the leading
citizen* of Bridgeport, and the vast
amount of property to be given »whj
will afford an opportunity to hundreds of
securing valuable gifts of various kinds,
tucliidiug Houses amt Lots, Horses and
Carriages, Bank Stock, Government
Bonds, and many articles wo have not
<.|j..i,u iu enumerate. All are advised to
send early to the Great Central office of
Well’* Grand Distribution, at Bridgeport,
Conn., and secure a handsome Cbromo
or Engiaving, ranging in price from $1
to $5, and a share iu llio Grand Distri
bution for eucli dollar’s worth of pictures
purchased.
A Romance in Real Life. —During the
past week a Lit of romance has occurred
in the Onildren’s Aid Society, of New
York, which hardly seems to belong to
this mutter-of-lact age. The New York
Times tells the touching story as follows:
A number of years since, the reports of
the Society gave an account of a sad
event in Brooklyn. A woman had been
murdered by her drunken husband, and
u kind lady of that city discovered three
wretched little children wcepingover the
corpse—two buys and a girl. They
were utterly friendless, alter the arrest
and imprisonment of the father. The
two boys were brought to the News
boys’ Lodging lb'iise in New York, and
the girl temporarily sheltered. At length
the Si> r j e t.v sont the two lads to homes
in the West, and the girl was adopted
by a gentkman of property near thecitv.
The latter tever knew that lor adopted
fatter was not her own. The boys have
now grown np and acquired property
one being a druggist and the other a
farmer. They have been extremely anx
ions to communicate with their sister,
and have been in correspondence with
her guardian for some time. During’
the past week they revisited the city for
the first time—very well educated young
men, in good circumstances- They vis
ited the Girls’Lodging Honse, the News
boys’ and otter institutions of the Soci
ety. The adopted father of the sister
consented that they should see her iu his
office, provided they did n*-t disclose their
relationship, as she was only fifteen, and
he wished her lo suppose herself his
daughter, so that her affection might uot
to- weakened for a few years longer.
She is to iui-erit bis pronerty. They
fe't the propriety of this, and had their
interview with her last week, without
discovering their relationship, and then
leturned, well satisfied, to the West.
New York Fashions in Hair —The
number of H e prematurely gray young
women on the streets dressed m the
height ot fashion, ami stylisn, attracts
attention. The hair is not powdered or
Irosted, but is really gray. One would
hardly credit the fact, but a tact it is,
that a chemical procure is resorted to
bleach the hair white. The reign of the
b! tide is over, amt thp old term “tow
head" p isses from room to room Gol
! d<-n b cks are at a discount. Raven
! tresses are vulgar, and snowy hair is the
! style. The bigtnel pricid wigs me
I glay, and not black or anbririi- Such
i< the tyranny ol fashion that young
girls with black or alihurn t a r are crazy
iO hate.a bleached -bead.*— N F. Taper
Can this be Tmel—Tbe Cotton
Tax tn Congress.
Referring to the fact that during this
•hort Congress of only three month* du
ration, several large lobby sobemes will
be pushed, among others the World thus
speaks of the proposed refunding of the
cotton tax :
Another subject which will be pressed
npon Congress this winter by a power
ful lobby, is the refunding of the cotton
tax. Wecarnestly fought that tax when
it was imposed, for reasons which we
still believe Bound. But the pretence of
repaving it covers one of the most gi
gaotic and most corrupt jobs even of
tills degenerate time. If Congress conld
restore the rnouey, to those from whom
it was really taken, it might be very
well; but that is as impracticable as it
would be to take tbe water from the bed
of tbe Missbsippi, and e-mv- yit by ar
tificial means to tbe thousand millions of
acres of oozing soil which fed the first
sources of the river. The tax came out
of the wages of plantation hands; it
came cut of the lessees or owners of cot
ton lands; it earnc out ol the great mass
of the cotton growing community. II it
were granted lack, the lion’s share
would go to the colossal ring of lobby
ists and cotton dealers who are pushing
ttiis scheme, and the rest to various cot
ton luctors scattered through the South.
The amount of the tax is seventy millions
of dollars, and we have learned, from an
authentic source, that theie is a settled
bargain that the cotton ring shall have
one half of it or thirty five millions, if
they succeed iu carrying the job through
Congress.
Tbe Draining of the OkecHnookee
Swamp.
A New York paper says that active
preparations are in progress to drain the
great Oksefinookce Swamp in Southern
Georgia. This immense swamp, the
largest (counting Florid* out of the
question) in this part of the world, is
now being attacked in earnest, and a
Chartered company propose to sec if it
cannot be made valuable for something
besides bears, coons, w ild turkeys and
snakes. The swamp, which extends
down into tbe upper border of. Florida,
is a thickly timbered nr rasS, nearly twn
hundred miles in circomfereficd— nearly
twice as largo as the dismal
swamp—and its intereating ornitho
logical population, which includes some
strange-voiced birds apparently pecu
liar to that domain, is only paralleled
by its endless variety of seak's and al
ligators. The preliminary work of
draining the swamp required an experi
ment to show the nature of the ground
beneath it; and a shaft or tunnel, sunk
at the border of the morass, has disci- sed,
curiously enough, the existence, at the
depth ol thirty feet, a bed of genuine
bituminous coal,. Its extent, as wcil as
the comparative value of the coal, re
mains to be di teriniued. Tbe moat ob
vious facts in geology will readily ex
plain, not only tbe existence of coal in
such a place, but llio (probable) fact
that the bud is a largo oue. Other geo
logical facts of some interest are said lo
have been developed by this shaft, cue
being a stratum of rock ol the Siluriau
age.
A Murderer Hanged.
Ben. Bacon, uliaa Henry Johnson, col
ored, was hung at Augusta, on last Fri
day, for the murder of a man named
James 11. Martin, aged 70 years. Ba
con confessed that he killed the old man
with u blow of a wagon standard; that
bis object was not murder, but robbery;
and that bis story of Ko Klux was false.
He repented of the crime, bogged for
givciii ss for his sins, and requested all
present to avoid sin and all otpafiou.of
evil.
Still a Mtstery —The brutal morder
of Ruben Armor, a merchant of Glascock
Cos., Ga., on tbe night of the 9lh of No
vember, still remains a mystery. The
young man's throat, it will be renumber,
ed, was cut from ear to car, and his skull
terribly mangled. The only white man
present in tbe store when Armor wag
attacked by several disguised assassins,
was a Mr. Burge, a clerk, and who was
•shot in tbe bund, and only preserved his
life by flight. This man Barge swears
positively that a brother of the murdered
man was a leader of the gang of assus
sins; but on the oilier hand, this self
same brother has proved, by several wit'
nesses, that he slept the entire flight of
the murder, in a tied with two other men,
several miles distant from the see no ot
bloodshed.
Nepohrm at Home —A Good Example
Mr. Sumner, who gave the Senate that
memorable history of Papal nepotism
last spiring, should know that the pres
ent Pope not only abhors nepotism, but
60 strong has always been his dioad of
the charge that he has actually gone to
the opposite extreme. A letter from
Rome tells how, during the years ot his
political power as Roman sovereign, no
person iu ary nay related to him could
come to Rome without not m-rely a ; er
miaa'on but a special invitation from the
Pope; and it is stated upon excellent
authority that his own si-ter, the Coun
tess Bcuigni, after haviug sustained se
vere revetses of fortune, lived tor many
years and finally died n actual pi ctroia
ry necessity. He never gave, any place
to cither of hia brothers, one of whom
leeently died in ot scurity at agreat age.
The only liiiug he ever did for his neph
ews was to order one of them _lo be ar
rested when found in Rome.
Enekot an u Plock.—The publishers of
Ballod's Monthly Magazine 'were burnt
out by the great Ore at Boston. Io less
than twenty-four hours after their prem
ise* were destroyed they had putebaeed
anew office and were bard at work on
the January number, which will be is
sued at the usual time and sent to sub
scribers. We like such erideuce of pluck
and wo like Baiaoo’s Magazine also, for
it is worthy of the support of the whole
community.
ITon oekbert Fielder —We have re
ceived a pamphlet, from this gentleman,
addressed “to the Senators and Repre
sentatives of Georgia,” giving his views
on the political situation It is au able
sod well prepared and ■cnmeiit, and may.
perhaps, advance his interest as a candi
date tor U. S. Senator.
The police records of the city of New
York show that thirty-two persons have
mysteriously disappeared since .August
Irst.
“Are yon guilty or uot guilty?” asked
the Clerk of arraigns of a prisoner the
oilier day. “An’sure now, said Pat,
“what are ye there for l.nt to find out?’
SYMPTOMS OF CATARRH.
Dull, heavy headache, obstruction of nasal
passages, discharge falling into throat, some
times profuse, watery,acrid, thick and tenacious
mucus, purulent, bloody, putrid, offensive, elc
In others a dryneaa. dry, watery, weak or in
flamed eyes, ringing in e r», deafness, hawking
and coughing to clear throat, ulcerations, scabs
from ulcers, constant desire to clear nose and
throat, 'voice altered, nasal twang, offensive
breath, impaired smell and taste, dizziness, men
ial depression, tickling cough, idiocy and insan-
Ity.
All the above symptoms are common to the
disease in some of tts stages or ccmpUeatirmj. yet
thousands of cases annually terminate in con
sumption, and end in the grave without ever
manifesting one-third oi the above symptoms.
No disease U more common or less understood
by physicians. The Proprietor of Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy will pay S6OO reward for a
case of catarrh which he cannot cure. Sold by
druggists.
The .1 inlice of the Verdict rendered
by the public years ago in favor of the Mexican
Mostako Limme.vt must be apparent to all who
have used that famous preparation or seen it
us.id. Its healing influence Is Irresistible. The
most obstinate forms of neuraigie or rheumatic
disease are totally cured by it, and that in an
inconceivably short space ot time. External
injuries or sores, whether of man or beast, as
well as all equine or human maladies tor which
a liniment may be used, are speedily remedied
by its use. Remember it is not merely a palli
ative but an eradicant of disease.

General Presentments.
SEPTFJMBER ADJOURNED TERM, )
&CPJCRIOR Court, Bkooo County. >
Grand Jtiry Room, Quitman, Ga., Nov. 30, *72.)
We, tbe Grand Jurors selected and sworn for
tin* First week of tbe present terns of this Court,
iu bringing our labors to a close, beg leave to
make tbe following
GENERAL PRESENTMENT:
Owing to a deficiency ot rime, we have not
given the books ol all the officers of the County a
critical examination. We beg leave to report*
however, that au examination satisfies us that the
Records of this Court, as kept by the efficient
Clerk, S. W. Brooks, Esq., are correct in every
particular. His books are a model for neatness,
aud we commend him for his skill and experi
ence,
We have examined the Public Buildings of the
County, to wit: tbe Court House and Jail, and
beg leave to make the following report:
Hefiud the Jail in an unaale condition, ad
recommend that his Honor, Edward U. Harden,
Judge of Brooks County Court, have it placed iu
such condition as will insure the safety of pris
oners; and in furtherance of this suggestion,
your Grand Jurors have furnished
den a plan by whidqthis safety can be secured,
and at at’a reasonable expense.
We are happy lo annoance that we find the
Court House in good condition The valleys of
the roof have recently been repaired, which ee
cures the building against the ruinous leakage,
properly complained of by former Grand Jurors.
We would, however, recommead to bis Honor,
Judge Harden, that two coats of fire proof paint
be placed upon the roof. It will protect the
shingles f.om decay, and be a partial protection
jn case of fire. We would also advise that the
building be insured in some responsible Fire In
surance Company in the sum of Ten Thousand
Dollars.
In this connection the Grand Jurors desire to
express their gratification of the policy pursued
by Judge Harden, iu declining to permit the
Court House to be used for traveling exhibitions
and tbe prosecution of business pursuits, as has
been customary for several yeats past; but we
would recommend that be permit tbe “Quitman
Cornet Baud” (which has made respectful peti
tion to this body,) to have the use oi ibe Court
room for the purpose of giving Concerts foi the
entertainment oi tbe citizens of the County.
An investigaliou of the public roads of the
county enables us to report that we find them iu
better condition than they have been at any pe
riod since the late war. We would urge upon the
Commissioners and Overseers, however, the
great necessity of continuing tbetr efforts to keep
ali the roads in tbeir present excellent condition.
We would also suggest to the town authorities Os
Quitman, that the principle streets of the town
may be improved. They must remember that
the incorporate limits of Quitman extend one
mile iu each and every direction from tbe Court
House, and the labor devolves ou them, solely,
of keeping said st.reels in good condition their
entire length.
We find tbe Bridges of the County in very
good condition. There appears to be some ne
cessity for a bridge across the PiscoU Creek, at
a point known as “Jones’ Ford.” and we roconr
mend that Judge Harden appropriate three hun*
dred dollars toward its construction, provided
the citizens interested will raise a sufficiency, in
connection with said appropriation by the Coun
ty, to construct the same inasubstantial manner:
it being understood, however, that no draft is to
be drawn on tbe Treasurer of the County for the
amount designated, until said bridge has been
constructed and accepted.
In regard to the Financial condition of the
County, tbe Grand Jury is happy to report fa
vorably. We are gratified at tbe action resorted
to by Judge Harden in restoring confidence in
the credit of the County, and we heartily approve
of his administration as wise and judicious.
We recommend that Judge Harden re-appoint
the existing Financial Committee, composed of
Capt. John G. McCall and Capt. St. T. Kingsbery,
who were appointed to investigate the financial
affairs of the County for several years past—anc
who have only partially performed the duties for
which they were appointed—and desire that the
jnvesiigalion be continued; it being understood,
that they be qualified as sworn commissioners,
to discharge their duties faithfully, and without
fear, favor or affection.
W’e further wish itundrestood that power be !
conferred on said Committee to bring before it j
persons and papers, necessary for a full and t
thorough investigation. We also recommend
that said Committee be required to make its re
port to the Grand Jury to be em panne lied for
tbe March Term cf the Superior Court for 1873.
Wefiudthathia Honor. Judge Harden, has
appointed Capt. T. J. Liviugton *nd Dr. J. L
Groover to fill vacancies in the Board of County
School Commissioners, aud we lake pleasure iu
confirming said appointments.
In conclusion, we wonld tender thanks to Judge
J. R. Alexander, for bis courtesy and kindness
to our body, and we congratulate the people on
the fact, that our Courts are presided overby
one who so worthily wears tbe Judicial robe.
To the Solicitor General, Col. W. B. Benriet,
and all the officers of Court we are under obliga
tions for numerous acts of kindness, which are
highly appreciated, and contributed to make
our official duties less irksome.
Fioally, w* respectfully ask that these present
ments be communicated to tbe people, through
tbe columns of our local paper, the Quitman
Banner.
