LEGAL ADVERTISING THE SO CALLED “DEPUTY SHERIFF’ OF BROOKS COUNTY. On last, Saturday, the 3d inst., A. Sweat, the so-called Deputy Sheriff of this county, handed ns the following ci tation, with direction* that the he published; to which request wn comply, and give it. verbatim : Oeorsltt Brock* f minty Notice Is here by given l),ai from mol niter the (le t of .lone next nil le gill adeerttumionls will In' puliltshi'il in the In dependant published nt Qiiilimm tin this May Srd 1h73 A Sweat Bept Shlf .1 M shearer Ordinary The first question that will present it self to the reader, is the motive that, in fluence* flu' withdrawal of legal adver tisements from the Bah her, and the con ferment of the same upon a journal, which, at. the date of said notice, had no existence. The great haste manifested, to give an expression of ill-will for the proprietor and editors of the Banner, carries with it condeinnation, and our numerous readers' in the county ol Brooks, will tit once appreciate the situa tion. The action ha* been influenced by a petty spirit of malevolence, and an {in nate desire to truckle to the requirements of associates, regardless of a oouseiout ions discharge of duty. The considerat ion of another and more important, question, however, is influen ced hy the pronunoiainento aforesaid. By what authority does “A Sweat, Dep uty Sheriff,” exercise the functions of said office? And we call the attention of the Grand Jury to the investigation of this matter. Lot us refer to “history.” In Janua ry last an election was held in the coun ty of Brooks for Sheriff. The Demo cratic party nominated as its- candidate Wootenj and Mr. Willis A. ■ Ee' campaign that. <ou, “A. Sweat,” the present so-called “Deputy Sheriff," was a zealous advocate for the election of the Independent, candidate, and la bored for the defeat of the Democratic nominee, Mr. R. 11. Wooten. The result of that election was the defeat of King and election of Wooten. The latter gen tleman, then, was the choice of the peo ple for Sheriff. Upon the reception by Judge Harden of his commission, how ever, Mr. Wooten concluded that hg would not accept the office, but was af terwards influenced to give the bond, and take up the Executive con ditioned, however, that A. Sweat should discharge all the duties of the office, re ceive all the perquisites (save certain com pensation ordinarily allowed by Grand Jurors for extra services,) and Is', tie fac to, the Sheriff ol Brooks county—and he (Wooten) to have nothing to do with the' same. Why Mr. Wooten should thus disregard the expressed wish of the peo ple, and man me the right to appoint one who was a comparative Wronger, to dis charge the duties ol'an office he sought at the hands of the (ample, is not suffi ciently explained, unless the statements made by Sweat are correct. One of our lies! citizens says he has frequently heal'd hiiu proclaim upon the St reel sos Quit - man, to wit: "That Mr. K. B. Wooten aaiul not give the bond required by hue, and that he did." It w ill thus be sen, that although A. Sweat is de facto the Sheriff of the coun ty. he secured the position, not by the miiee of the people, but by a species of ne gotiation certainly not provided for by the laws of Georgia. And now he arro gates the right, as the so-called "Depu ty Sheriff,” to take from the Bannkk, fees heretofore received for certain pub lications, and bestow them upon a jour nal not in existence at the date of liis citation. He is evidently a sharp young man, but we very much doubt il the peo ple will endorse his arrogance. As we have already stated. A. Sweat is, comparatively. a stranger in this coun ty. Occupying the exalted position In does, without the consent of the people he should lie better known; and witl this laudable object in ri. w. we turn him over to our local associate, who pro r.osesTo pay his rc qi 'D, , 0 him at a fu ture time. In reference to “J. M. Shearer, Ordi nary,” (whose name is also attached to the above notice), we have hut little to say. In our opinion he is a very ordina ry official. In fact, a block of wood might as well be stuck up in the Ordina ry’s office as Judge J. M. Shearer. .Mr. VV. G. Bentley, the very competent Cleik of the Superior Court, is compelled, in pity for the commissioned official, to discharge t he duties of the office lei' him. He resides in the country, and on ,i ion ally visits town, merely t,o attach his name to legal documents prepared by Mr. Bentley. Perhaps the latter gentle man allows him a few dollars occasional ly, in consideration of the fact, that he holds the commission. The Banner will endeavor to survive, notwithstanding the loss of the patron age of the two officials designated. The paper was Started in the year 18110, when Quitman was a mere hamlet, and to-day its files present irrefutable evidence of its persistent zeal for the encouragement of every enterprise of character and util ity; and although it may he construed hy some as egotistical, we claim (and thoughtful, unprejudiced minds will con cede the validity of the claim,) that the Quitman Banner has contributed much towards converting the hamlet of 1866 into the beautiful, progressive and en terprising "town of 1873. And now, if this enterprise, is to be crushed out ol existence, because, forsooth, its editor will not cater to the whims and eccen tricities of would-be leaders because we prefer to follow the dictate* of conscience rather than lie a servile tool, and bend the pregnant binges of the knee that thrift may follow fawning—it will only be an additional evidence that error sometime* triumphs over right; but we will console ourself with the reflection, that— “Tralli, crushed tn earth, will rise again; The eternal years of God arc bis- But error, wounded, writhes In pain, And dies amid its worshippers.” But We have confidence in the wisdom and sound discretion of the people of Brooks. We believe they will continue to uphold an honest, journalist, who dares to think and act, for himself. Our rec ord is before, the country and the files of the Quitman Banner brand with falsehood, any assertion that its editor ever deviated from the principles of De mocracy. Time does not eradicate that, record, and wo defy the world to point to a solitary political sentence uttered hy us, during our editorial career, cover ing a score of years, that is at variance with the time-honored principles of the Jeffersonian Democracy. By that rec ord are we ready to stand or fall. Like the entire human family, we are a crea ture of circumstance; hut through all the vicisitudes of a. somewhat varied life, we have never subordinated our principles to policy- and certainly, at this late day, we will not prove so imbecile as to sur render our manhood at Ihe mandate of a faction. The UoiiiCHlciul mill Belief Law*. The recent decision of the Supreme Court, of the United States, declaring the ret reactive features of the Homestead and Relief Laws of Georgia unconstitutional, is creating considerable excitement, in every portion of this State. By said de cision, creditors who have so long been debarred, by law, the right to collect their claims, and many of whom, in fact, had despaired of ever realizing a cent, even hy compromise, are now in position to dictate terms, and will doubtless press their claims with vigor, and show no mercy to the debtor, for in some instan ces overtures for liberal compromise were treated with disdain. Under these cir cumstances, executions will he levied on every species of property, and in numer ous instances, men will he reduced to ab ject poverty, who, but a few days ago, felt that they were protect in their home steads hy statutory previsions, and the decrees of their State courts. The result of this decision of the Su i prome Court will have a terrible effect, es- I [H'eiallv if tlio creditors avail themselves of the rights it confers. Many small ; planters who have relied upon the pro | lection aforodod by the Uomstead laws, I have purchased stock, farm supplies, Ac., j and in some instances given liens upon their stock and crops to secure the credi tor prompt payment for fertilizers, Ac. Now, if such parties are pressed to the wall,’and their property sold under old executions, they will not only he ruined, but all recent creditors will suffer loss, j Again, innocent parties have, in good ! faith, purchased homestead property; j and they, of course, will have no re i dress —said property being subject to sale under executions debarred by State law*. This decision will certainly work injus tice to this class of our population. We frust our citizens, under the eir custances, will practice charity and bo lenient to the unfortunate. Such a pol icy will prove beneficial in the end. t\ e ! concede that the decision of the Supreme Court is in accordance with the provis ions of the U. 8. Constitution, but the manifestat ion of a spirit of magnanimity, ; hy the creditor class, will certainly ben | efit the country, even if it fails to inline | diately swell their own coffers, j In this connection we produce an ar ticle from the Atlanta Herald on this im portant subject, end hope its sin gestions will have weight with the reader. It 1 savs that the decision has created an iin menu® amount of unhappiness among the people, and that, the cases of hard ship that are to result from it, arc very numerous, so numerous that in our opin ion, the next Legislature of Georgia will lie called on to remember them. Take this ease for instance. A Mr. Holme*, of Dclvalb county, trailed his homestead to a Mr, Brown, of the same county, giving him nine hundred dollars difference. There were old judgments against Brown, which, under this decis ion, arc revived, and a levy is ordered, not only on the land which Holmes pur chased from Brown, hut also on the land which Holmes traded to Brown, and un less a court of equity shall intervene, Holmes will lose his nine tmndfed dol lars and bis home, which isall the property he has on earth. Here is a case where a citizen of the State acted in conformity with the laws of the State, acted under a decision of the Supreme Court of the State, and under advice of counsel learn ed in the law, and the result of it is, he loses everything he possesses. This is only one of many similar cases that have come to our knowledge, and we have no, hesitation in stating that if this man can not get relief through a court, of equity, wo would advocate his relief hy an act of the Legislature. The State of Georgia has no right to mislead any of her citi zens to tibeir ruin a*iu this ease, and whi'ii she lias done so, she should afford a remedy. Take this case: the writer of this arti cle was interested in a very large proper ty. There were two very valuable plan tations and more than two hundred ne groes. On the negroes there was due at the close of the war a mortgage of nine thousand dollars. The negroes were emancipated, I In*very property for which this debt was incurred was destroyed by the act of the State, and yet the debt re mains unpaid. The Register in Bank ruptcy purchased the mortgage and sold out the plantation, which failed to bring the amount of the debt, The Ancient. Romans had their jubilee every ten years when all debts were forgiven. The Gov ernment acted on the principle that, as the duty to perform military service car ried citizens into foreign lands, and thus deprived families of their support, that it was hut equitable that all debts which were due to those that stayed at home to make money should he forgiven. Tim i Jews had their jubilee also, and we mild- j ly submit, that if ever occasion presented itself in the history of a people when re lief laws were just and necessary, the j close of our late war was that occasion. Thousands of brave men left their lain- j ilies and homes for four long years. ; Their pay did not keep them in shoes. | They returned to find chimneys where they had left happy homes, all property I gone, and nothing to remind them of the past except notes and duo hills, and mort gages which had fallen into the hands of some sagacious patriot who placed too high a value on his life to risk it in his country’s defence. The State of Georgia exercising tli" same sovereignty which had cignpelled military service, enacted wise laws,.to save what little was left to this class of men. Her Supreme Court sustains these | laws. And lie had hoped that all t! 1 debts were settled, but now comes this j decision, and all is again confusion and anxiety. We will publish in a few days the text of this decision, that a dear understand ing may bo had of its full extent and meaning. We write in the interest of the people, and not ourselves, for we owe no old debts, and none are due to us. Alodoc Mn.ssnc.re of Troops. The little hand of Modoc Indians, en trenched in the lava beds of Oregon, in stead of being exterminated, as was or dered hv Gen. Grant, are making rapid headway exterminating the U. 8. troops. Last week a reconoitering party of sev enty men, sent out to feel for the Modoes, it is very evident found and felt them, for forty-two of said troops are reported killed, wounded and missing. It did not result from a battle—it was a real massacre, ('apt. Jack, it appears, noted j the movements of the troops, and posted twenty-five of his warriors behind a bluff, j and as the soldiers drew near they leaped j from their ambush and fired a wall-di- j reeled volley, throwing the little army ! into confusion. The officers, while en deavoring to restore order, placed them selves in exposed .positions within range of the enemy and were shot down. A portion of the troops behaved shameful ly, living in every direction to make good their escape. A correspondent who visited the scene of the massacre, says that it presented a horrible sight. In one cavity there were found thirty soldiers dead or wounded, huddled together like slice]', while in an other seven were found packed together l in a small space, some dead and others badly wounded. Five soldiers are miss ing, and they are in all probability pris | oners. They will certainly be put to i death, as no mercy will bo shown them by the savages. 8o the Modoc war bids fair to to? a prolonged and expensive one. And while we h eve no sympathy for the sava ges, we cannot hut admire their courage, in stubbornly battling for what they con ceive their rights.

Mr. Editor :—Il was our privilege on last Saturday, to attend a picnic May party, held at. Bowi n’s Falls, hy and tor the benefit, of Miss Sue E. Sinclair’s school, whose well appointments we im agined would interest your readers. Ihe day broke clear and fair, and the propi tious orderings of our Supreme Ruler seemed to have all blended in well mark ed consistency with the wishes of all con cerned; and as the gentle rays of the sun diffused his genial warmth through meadow and forest, all nature seemeiffto invite her votaries to the offering of their warmest tributes. By eleven o’clock all the company was assembled; which, I must say, showed an array of beauty, grace and joyousness seldom witnessed in so small an assem blage. The entire surrounding country seemed to have poured forth its inhabit ants, both large and small: Quitmanites,, Dixieit.es, and Dry Lake citizens were no j rarity- pretty young ladies and gay, fes- j tive young men, were among the number j from each place. The anticipated pleasure even allured i from the growing “city of Boston” some i of its gayest denizens of both sexes, j “Little Frank” looked, and lo ! the “Co- \ mer” came ! After years of absence, and pleasure such as only old associations I can call forth from its long hidden re- j ceptacle, hounded in glad joy through each heart, as the tell-tale blush too plainly indicated. The promised pleasure, now almost a certainty, ignored the boundary of States, and brought from the “Land of Flow- j cm” some of its gayest youths.-- Took)'*, anil Unwins, *Bil Koye* rare, Ware in llii'lr liveliest humor them. Now, Mr. Editor, for the business of the day. The fair young being whom her companion* had chosen to rule over j them in the floral kingdom, on this oc casion, was Miss Janie Sinclair, and ifj ever Nature’s God moulded a lair rrea- \ lure for earth’s occupancy - likened to the seraphic paintings of a poet’s iurag- j ination— truly she was one; in fact, all , the Maids of Honor attending in ln-au- j tv’s charms on her Majesty, were piquant j and dutiful. The spooches delivered hy each and ; every one was to the point, and as they poured their offerings at the foot of the j throne, an angel’s smile seemed to play across the royal eouiiteiuiruv, and a set tled satisfaction rested on the noble face of the delighted Teacher, who stood in ; close proximity, in all the self possession j of a being who acknowledged no stipe- j rior, hut welcomed gladly all her equals. : After the crowning and speeches Were { over, and heart-greetings had been ex changed by friends long separated, and who had been looking forward to this ; day with so much pleasure, there sud denly appeared from every conceivable nook and corner, huge baskets and box- j es, loaded with good tilings of every va- 1 ritv and description, which being spread out upon a long table, beneath the grove ; of densely crowded forest trees, was.soon | being intensely enjoyed by the assembled i company. Cakes, candies, and cookeries i were in huge abundance, and like the; feast, of olden days, the “refuse” would ; have fed a multitude. After the repast,] it was intimated that an announcement; would bo made from the stand, hut when j tlie company found it was an intimation ; for two weeks consideration, they con-j eluded to eujov the present, so adjourn- j ed to the school-house, where soon, to j the music of the violin, they were tip- j ping the light fantastic toe in all the glee ; and happiness that youthful and hope- j sustained hearts could indulge. Those that did not indulge in the fas- : dilating amusement, found pleasure in j boat-rides and in taiding on neighboring j strawberry patches and milk dairys, and passed the evening in various other ways too numerous to mention. Upon the whole, Mr. Editor, this proved to be one ! of the most successful May picnics it has j ! lvi't'n our pleasure to attend for years, j | and with each succeeding year we trust [ these note well cherished haunts will re ! sound to the merry laugh of youthful voices, and each May party prove as this ; one I know will, a bright oasis in the recollection of its participants. Very truly yours, WILKCLIDS. | Immigration in Florida. The citizens of Marion county, Florida , j are adopting the right policy whereby ! immigration will !>e influenced to that i State. Oue day last week a number of : citizens of said eouty met at Ocala, for \ the purpose of considering certain prop- j ositions submitted by an English Etui- j gration Society, represented hy Capt. -V. G. Grant. The plan proposed is as fol- i lows: to organize a stock company, tin- : der the laws of Florida, purchase a body of suitable land, lay it out into twenty acre lots, and erect on each lot a comfor- ; table cottage. The lots to be sold to im migrants at cost, and the terms of pay ment to be very favorable to the purchas er . The company was immediately form ed, and the scheme will lie tested. That it will prove successful there is not a : shadow of a doubt. * Georgia needs some of the Marion j county spirit to make her immigration schemes practical. Our large bodies of lands must be divided into small home steads, and sold to industrious immi grants on favorable terms. Offer an in terest in the soil, and the very best peas antry of Europe will he found flocking to our State by thousands; hut if we per sist hi merely seeking laborers, hut little will ever he accomplished. THE <jiIIJUET*IK GEORGIA THE HANGING OF MISS SUSAN i EBERHART. The Storm or Life and the Serenity : of Death. [From (he Americas lit'pnblican. of eatut'l.iy.] Thursday afternoon an order from Judge Clark was received by the Sheriff, | to gut a strong guard around the jail, as j if. iiad been rumored that an attempt I would lie made to rescue the prisoner j j from jail. The Sheriff had already clone j | so, he himself anticipating such a thing. |No attempt, however, was made. At j | eight o’clock Friday rooming Rev. J. H. j j Cawood visit,', and the cell of Miss Eberhart ; ; and held RELIGIOUS services. j She was fully composed, manifested bright hopes, was willing to die, and j : thought it best that she should die than j I live. At eleven o’clock a guard of forty j 1 men assembled around the jail, formed a ! | hollow square and inarched to the gal- | lows. The prisoner and Sheriff Mathews rode to the gallows together iii a buggy; j ihe ministers were afoot. Miss.Eberhart j was neatly dressed in white small figured > cambric finished calico. This was fur- ; iiished by the very polite and aecommo- j dating Sheriff. Tier hair plainly comb- j ed, two long braids on each side, and ends tied together, which hung down the j back, and wearing a “calico sun-bonnet.” ON THE WAY TO THE GALLOWS ] slit' told the Sheriff she did not dread death in the least; felt happy at the pros pect of noon being better off. Arriving at the gallows, she alighted from the buggy seat and ascended the platform with firm stops. The Rev. Mr. Cawood then read to her the eighty-eighth and one hundred and thirteenth Psalms. Af i ter which he addressed her a few words I of comfort, saying that lie felyjhc great i est confidence in the gentiiiienSjs ot her ! conversion and confession of fJRh. The veiierahlc (b-orge-Blapletoii, oßeffcrsou ■ eountv, then offered up an ekcjP"nt and i < arnest. prayer to the Throne . *Qrnc> in j ! her behalf. Miss Eberhart then took A FAREWELL LEAVE ! of her friends; had no fears to die, hut i was able to rejoice in this hour. Thank | ed all who had in any way contributed to ' her comfort while in prison, and freely forgave all who had wronged her. She felt in her heart that she loved all man kind and desired to meet them all in peace in heaven. She then ceased talk- j ing. The Sheriff than stepp'd up to her j and said: “Susan, are you ready r” She j replied: “yes, i’m ready," and walked firmly up tin' steps and stood on the platform while the Sheriff adjust- j ed the rope and black cap with great ! tremor. Susan said “The rope is too i , tight around my neck; I do not want to j he choked to death.” He then loosened j it slightly and said: “Susan put your hands behind you.” She did so, and he I tied them. He then again asked: “Are j you ready:” She meekly replied: “Yes, ready and willing!” At precisely half ! past eleven o’clock THE PLATFORM DROPPED. I The full was five feet; she struggled j but little and in fifteen minutes she w i.s i pronounced by the attending physicians |to bo dead; and was cut. down from the I gallows in nineteen minutes. Her neck j was not, broken. The doctors made an ! effort by the use of an electric battery to | revive her, but failed. None of her kin i dred were present. The body was placed | in a neat coffin and conveyed toherfath | er’s house, and will he interred in the j Baptist Church Cemetery. The conduct i of Miss Eberhart on the platform was TRULY TOUCHING, j and moved those who witnessed it to j melting tears. The day that Susan Eb -5 berhart, was himg w.ls the saddest, ever i witnessed in Georgia. A few hours he | fore the execution the heavens seemed to ; weep at the solemn tragedy that was | about to he enacted, for the rain deseend | ed iu torrents , nd all around was clothed lin darkness. Immediately after the exe cution the bright sun made its appear ance and all nature seemed again to wear her I‘cautiful apparel. From her state ment. which she had written, she says she did nothing in THE TERRIBLE TRAGEDY [ except King present and handing Spann I | t hi' handkerchief when he s called for it to | [ fill liis wife’s mouth; that she arose from ! her bed, accompanied by him, being held j by the hand, and this was done at his ' command, through compulsion and fear. | That she begged and entreated him not ! j to kill his wife. .He said he would, if lie j | hanged for it. in five minutes afterwards. I t and that he forced her to do what she j i did, and that he also forced her to go off | with him. She begged him in bitter ! ! tears to leave her, hut he said: "If you I I don’t go I’ll pick you up and take you j j off;” and all along the journey she lx-g --' ged him to let her go hack home. She ! says she made no such confessions as her captors swore to on the trial; and : £ THE ACTUAL TRUTH had been given in testimony, whatever | might have been her punishment, she 1 I would not have been hangi and, but consid- I ering bet; condition she thought it best I that she should suffer death, as she was i perfectly prepared to go. She was exe j cute-.l on the same gallows and with the | same rope that Spann was three weeks j ago. Thus ends the career of a poor, | friendless and unfortunate young woman. i Whatever her faults may have been, let j them sleep with her in the grave. An iron bridge felf*ht Dixon.
