The nroltiplVity of s liooix that are

suggestive of the want of harmony and

abroad as patrons of edueat imi. An num
ber of schools, though they wore twice,
as great as they are to be tins fall, and
twice as good as ai.v that we have ever!

H. F. Duffy, charged with appropria

office of Mr. T. IS. Clayton, Postmaster
at Hu kleberry, Statenvilie Station, on
the Live Oak bran-h of the A. A G. R. If.
was brought to Quitman early last week, j
after a commitment trial before a Justice
of the peace, and lodged in jail for safe }
keeping until the next tern, of the Sup -
riorCourt of Echols county, 'i he cir
cumstances attending the case, so far as
we have been able to learn, are about as
follows :
The prisoner had been in the employ of \
Mr. Clayton (who, it appears, keeps the j
postoffice in bis store,) as clerk, and hav
ing been highly recommended, was es
teemed by his employer as an honorable
and iudustrious man, and was generally
liked by all who kn -w him. On the occa
sion referred to, he left the store for the ,
station, near by, to get the mail, which
was delivered to him, and also the pack
age containing 890. He was evidently
tired of country life, and with the 890 in
his pocket, he bid li rustic scenes of
Huckleberry farewell, and jumped upon
the train which was just begum i,g to
move, en route for the more fascinating
town of Jacksonville. He was promptly
followed and arrested, but not until he
had distributed among his ready friends
and the bar rooms and other fascinating
places in Jacksonville, about SCO of the
monev. the balance of which was recover

The latest movement upon the part of

throughout, the country, is the organizi

reality, are noth’ng more or less than
deep laid schemes of political ingenuity
by means of which the corruptible Scala
wag office holders hold night meetings
with and operate upon the negroes. The
promise of a “mule and forty acres of 1
land” having played out, they must now
resort to a secuiidaiy inducement with
which to lead th fan y of (he poor and
ignorant negro to their vile purposes an,l
the ballot-box.
The leading spirit, and means of or
ganization of one of these “companies”

Sam Griffin, in tho tenderness of whose
heart there lives untold sympathy for the
“poor colored people,” AVo will not, at

Georgia for arms or not, we are unable
to say, but will venture to say that even
if he were to fail to procure them in that,
way, he could very well afford to make a
wholesale purchase of pot iron gjns,
and include them in the bill for the
uniforms, which, of course, will be of j
shoddy blue,
The Parade on Saturday.
I On Saturday last, those enlisted in this
j “hand of brothers tried and true,” met
j “Over tin- Railroad,” and under the corn
| maud of
“C AFTA IN FI. UK ER,’ ’
j marched in single and double til- to the
i dulcet music of the bass ami kettledrum,
. ■ cm in- down with a st- ady “bep!” at every
j 11ml of the fir st named iust ument,, until
i they had crushed beneath their soldiery
| tread, all the ants on the “field,” and
ra s-d a scent an 1 stifling dust which hid
| defiance to the passing over of even
j the swiftest feathered songsters that, per
chance, might attempt to cross theirbeat.
Ilavhig been “laiseda bean” by us rie
fore, and knowing that the Fanner, un
der its new management, is ever on the
alert to ferret out and expose villainy
and Radical corruption, and the past
week having been an eventful one in the
field of labor in which he is operating,
Sam was evidently disappointed because
we did not show him up in his proper
light last week, and win n our “Devil’’
carried the mail to the Postufficc on the
evening of our last issue, the following
dialogue took place :
JSam —“What made’em take my stand
ing advertisement out this week ?”
Devil —(not at first understanding
that Sam meant by “standing advertise
ment,” our exposition of his corruption.)
“Didn’t know you evr r had one in. Don’t,
know what you mean.”
Sam—“AVhy, I thought they had a
standing advertisement iu there about me
’Twill never do for them to take it, out
now, I’ll loose my office soon if tluv do.”
[Our “Devil" grins and retires.)
Now, Sam, we have heretofore been
disposed to deal rather gently with you
and vour crowd, but if you have become
dissatisfied with this gentility, and !'■ -*
slighted when we do not. embellish v
columns your traitorous acts and sn
movements among the colored people, of ;
whose ignorance you are taking advan- j
tag* f. i : udiee them against the re
spectable white people of the country, we
here promise never to slight you again
when we have tim and room Dot taken
up by more important and profitable
matter. Now, Sam, don’t get mad with
us and stop the Banner when we send it
through your office to our subscribers.
AVe have never had occasion to charge
you with anything wrong in your admin
istration as Postmaster. AVe hope we
never will, but if we do, you may look for j
your “standing advertisement ” under a'
heading appropriate to attending eir- .
curostances. If it is not everlastingly too j
late, let ns entreat yon to mend your wavs.
; Bea man, and “flee the wrath to cornu.” If
wo hit you too hard, (if such a thing be
possible) or in the wrong place, meet it
squarely and openly, and our columns
will be open to a “standing advertise
ment” of your own writing.
In this connection we would say to our
colored people, that if they so desire, they
have a perfect right to organize a military
coin puny, and if they go into the project
with the right spirit, they have our “God
j speed.” But we do object to these elan
j destined meet ings; they are all wrong and
j will result badly to them. Let us ask
| you, colored friends, when, since your
freedom, have you undertaken anything
for your elevation, in an open and manly
way, but that, you have received encour
agement, aye, tangible aid from well
thinking white friends ? There must he
something wrong in these secret night
meetings, or those who meet you in the
dark “Over the Railroad” imposing upon
you silence as to their movements, would
come out like men, and advise you open
ly. Our observation is, and it is verified
I y all the history of the world, that such
men are more to be dreaded bv you, than
your avowed enemies. Under the guise
of friendship, they prey upon your liard
i earned substance and grow fat, w hile you
remain poor.
Look back over your own history
since the spring of 18(15, and put vow
finger, if you please, ou a single excep
tion to this rule to a single wlfite Sca'-
awag who has done your race a material j
benefit to a single one of all the mon- j
grel tribe, who did not require at your
hands the first offering. AA'as it not at.
ways “you vote for me,” or “you do this,”
ami “then 1. will do that;” and where is
there a single one who has redeemed his
promise? Then why be longer deluded
by them? The happiest relations exist
between the two races here in this conn
tv. Do you wish to disturb th. m ? If
not. in I you •! •sire to organ!z • a milita
ry company, seek the advice and counsel
. (bos' who ate vour friends, and we
w :'l give ton • an i character to your lin
dl! :!, aI. lb meml: r, 1 hut he who
turns against his race, he he white, col
ored, Indian, or any other nationality, is
a traitor to all Heaven-horn principles,
and like Benedict Arnold, will sooner or
later go down “unwept, unhouored and
unsung.”

Con. AV. B. Bennht, Editor Quitman
Banner ; If you can afford to publish
the follow ng in your paper, as a commu
nication, free of charge to the county,
(as it is not an official doi uuieiit) for the
information of your readers, I would
thank you to do so; and I have no doubt:
you will do no, particularly as the Quit
man Banner receives a liberal share of
the patronage of the County Court, when
the same is required by law to be pub
lished :
i In the ease of Nichols vs. Sutton A
Portee, 2t On. Supreme C. ml; Reports,
page 37i, the (!ou: t s ivs : “If the over
seer neglect his duty lie is amenable to
the Commissioner of Roads.” Cobb's
New Digest, 948.
The Commissioners are liable to the
Inferior Court (now the County Court)
for their neglect of duty, ami iu this
manner the Inferior Court, (now the
County Court) has a right to hear and j
determine matters relative to roads. 1
When they lay out or altar a road, their
authorit y ceases in regard to the road,
except, as a tribunal to enforce the road
laws, and compel officers in subordinate
author!iy to discharge their duty
raid road hands exempt how.
“Hands liable to road work employed
as laborers on the line of any railroad of
this state, belonging to ah incorporated
company, or by any contractors con
structing railroads, are « xempt.ed from
work on the public roads - provided the
public road overseer having charge of
them, respectively, is paid 82.50 per day
for each hand so liable, which money
shall be expended in hiring hands to
work on the roads. - Irwin's Revised Code,
par. 675.
WHO r.IAB.'.K TO ROAD DUTY.
All male citizens of this State, white
and black, between the ages of 16 and j
fifty years, except licensed Ministers of
the Gospel and Sehooi Commissioners,
appointed by the Governor, are liable to
road duty.
DUTY OF OVERSEERS OF ROADS.
“Overseers of roads in their respective
districts, shall summon all persons liable
to road duty within the district, at least
one day before the time of working.”
Irwin's Revised Code, par. 653.
“Such summons must state the road
to be worked, the time and place of meet
ing, and the implements required.”- Ir
win's Revised Code. par. 654.
PENALTY FOR DEFAULT.
“Every individual liable to road duty, j
who, be.ng duly summoned *o work, |
shall neglect to obey such summons, and
to (jury the implements as ordered, or
. ppearing with or w t.liout the imple
ments, ri gleets or refuses faithfully to
I work, shall In fin and not less than one nor
; mo: 'ban three dollars for every day he
or they shall fail to work, or be impris
oned at the discretion of the Cominis
missioners-”
Such commissioners must issue execu
tions under their hands and seals, or
their warrants of arrest, as the ease may
be, against ail defaulters who fail to ren
der a good excuse, directed to any lawful
constable, who shall levy and collect the
same, as executions issued from Justice’s
Courts, or, as the case may be, arrest the
defaultes, and bring him or them before
the Commiss : oners to abide the judgment
of the same.”
“If Constables neglect their duty in
collecting such fi. fas., or fail to pay over
money, or fail to make such arrests,
and bring them before the Commission
ers, they shall he subject to rule and suit
at the instance of such commissioners as
though the fi. fas. or warrants had issued
from a Justice’s Court.” — Act of the Geor
gia Legislature.
I have carefully prepared the above for
the benefit of all parties interested in
working the public roads of Brooks coun
ty. I hereby take great pleasure us
Judge of the County Court of Brooks
County, in tendering my sincere thanks
to the road commissioners, overseers and
hands, both white and black, for the
promptness, punctuality and fidelity with
which,throughout the entire county,they
lffive worked the public roads of the
comity, under my recent order. There
seems to have been manifested by all
parties a pride, a public spirit, and an
emulation between the different districts
in the county, to see which could have
the best roads. The season has been
very unfavorable for the bus ness. Now,
if the weather will permit the commis
sioners in each district in the county to
dress over the roads once more this sea
son, before the crops begin to come to
market, I think the Grand Jury at the
mxt November Term of our Superior
Court, will award to all parties the praise
and commendation to which they are en
titled. Edward R. Harden.

Resolutions of Chapter “8.," S. A.
E., on the Death of D. C. Denmark.
These resolutions should have been pub
lished sooner, but we learn from a private
letter, that they were by mistake sent to
the Quitman Journal the party sending
them mistaking the name of our paper.
Being uncalled for, they were returned
and afterwards sent to the Quitman
Banner. This will account for the de
lay in their appearance. AVe were ac
quainted with Mr. D. C. Denmark, and
he no doubt deserved the complimentary
tribute paid to his memory by Chapter
B.
