QUITMAN BANNER. QOTTMAars 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. %\tw JMmtiscraenfs. Sheriff’s Sale.

December 2, 1872. 3t 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. J. S. CUMMINGS, Foreman. James Y. Jones, A. J.
