A Fourteen-Year Oltl Jioji Shoots
hiv Grandfather to Gratify his
Grandmother.
Mr. James Rambo, living on Elk erect,
in this county, was murdered on the night
of November 1. About midnight of
that day his wife, Catherine Rambo, went
to a neighbor’s in her night clothes and
barefooted, and reported having a fuss
with her husband, and that he had shot
off the end of her finger and cut her ear
with a*hutcher’s knife, and she wanted
someone to go and arrest him. A Coro
ner’s inquest was immediately held,
which was followed by the arrest of the
grandson, John Briels, and Mrs. Rambo.
After they had been in custody for a
couple of days the boy confessed that his
grandmother and he had been plotting
the murder for the past six months, and
that he had been practising with a revol
var for that purpose. That on the night
of the murder he took his revolver, after
the old man had gone to sleep, advanced
to within a short distance of him, and
shot him in the back of the head—his
grandmother at the same time standing
inside the bedroom door. After he com
mitted the deed he and the grandmother
went outside, and the old lady held her
finger around the tree while the boy shot
it,inflicting a flesh wound. She then had
him take a butcher knife and cut a slight
gash in her ear, the object of all this be
ing to ward off suspicion and create the
impression that there had been a quarrel
between her and the old mau. The boy
further stated that he bad thrown the pis
tol in a pool of water. On search being
made by the constable for the pistol, it
was found whore the boy directed bim,
and two of the chambers discharged.
He also found the mark of the burnt
powder on the tree w’herc the finger had
been shot at, according to the statement
made by the boy. The butcher knife j
with which the ear had been cut was '
found close to the house, covered with]
blood and chicken featheis. Close by j
w as found a chicken head, and a short dis- ]
tance up the path she had traveled going ■
to the neighbor’s (Weans), and a little to
one side in the grass was, found the body
of a chicken.
Mr.Stephens on the Caban Question.
The following report of a conversation
held by a representative of the Chronicle
and Sentinel with Mr. Stephens, is prin
ted in that paper:
Reporter- What do you think about
this Cuban affair, Mr. Stephens?
Mr. Stephens—Well, I am frank to say
that 3 am for Cuba immediately, if not j
sooner. I consider the Virginius affair ]
the greatest outrage of modern times ; j
there is nothing at all analagous to it ex- |
cept jerhaps that upon a vessel, the El |
Dorado, I think if was during Pierce’s I
administration, in 1854. I wanted the |
Administration then to take possession I
of Ct ha.
Et-’p-PjeT —Uq V /Vt. *’jik there will fee j
any war with Spain arising out of the
complications r
Mr. Stephens—l do not. I think Spain
will offer every apology, and [dace her
self in the position of the lame man who
is unable to leave his house, and whose
dogs jump over his fence and rend his
ifeiglibor’s sheep. She will simply sa.y I
jam unable to restrain the volunteers ;
you must do with them as you please. 1 1
am in favor of suspending the neutrality j
law s. If this were done so large a force j
of Americans would land upon the island ;
of Cuba in a few days that all opposition !
would be overawed and a peaceful acqui- I
sition of it secured. These Spanish vol- |
unteers in Cuba show by their recent act s :
that they are not hing more than pirates, I
and they should be punished accordingly, j
Reporter—Won’t the United States
lose considerably by the stoppage of im
port duties on Cuban products in case of
the acquisition of the island ?
Mr. Stephens—Of course the import
duties will cease upon this country’s tak
ing possession of Cuba, but the revenue
from the island will be far greater then
than now, especially if anything like the
tariff in force by the Spanish Government
is kept up. The revenue to the latter
from this island was twenty-five millions
of dollars annually before the war.
Reporter—ls the United States *c-
I quires Cuba, the products of the latter
will, of course,|be cheaper in this country?
Mr. Stephens—Yes. And I am in fa
vor of cheap cigars and cheap sugar. If \
Cuba was once ours its resources would
be developed to an immense extent and j
its production largely increased.
Mr. Stephens went on to say tLat the j
movement for taking possession of Cuba ;
at tkistime, and in view of the recent ;
unparalelled outrages, was desirable for j
more reasons than one. One of the most;
important was, that it would furnish a I
common ground for all the people of the I
Union to meet upon, reconcile party dis- j
ferences, ami level down sectional ani- |
mosities. The fact of the business is, he
said, the United States heactofore has
been holding Cuba down while Spain
skinned her.
Reporter —Is it probablethat Congress
w ill take the matter in hand immediately
upon assembling ?
Mr. Stephens—Yes. Perhaps no less i
than fifty resolutions will be offered upon ;
that and” the currency question the first;
dav.
Iteporter—Will not the Louisiana mat
ter also excite much attention ?
Mr. Stephens—l have no idea that it ]
will. i
Mr. Stephens then made some general
remarks on the Virginius outrage, which I
be condemned in the roost unmeasured
terms. He was unqualified in his senti- ;
merits in favor of this Government taking ,
possession of Cuba, whatever might be i
the course adopted for so doing.
HERE SHALL THE PRESS THE PEOPLE’S RIOHTS MAINTAIN, UN AWED BY FEAR AND UNBRIBED BY OAIN.
QUITMAN, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER f, 1873.
The Dutchman's Insurance Policy.
A good story is told of a Dutchman by
the name of Sinidt , who had taken the
precaution to insure the life of his wife
for 85,000, and his stable for 8900, be
lieving the former might die and the lat
ter be burnt, and he could not get along
without some compensation for the loss.
Both policies had been taken from the
same agent. Iu a few months after the
stable had been insured it was destroyed
by fire. Sinidt quietly nutified the agent,
and hinted to him that he would expect
the 8900 at the earliest possible moment.
The agent at once sent a carpenter to as
certain the cost of erecting anew stable
of the same dimensions, having ascertain
ed that the property was insured for
more than it was worth. The builder re
ported that he could replace the stable
with new material for 8500, but unfortu
nately there was an ordinance preventing
the erection of frame buildings—the old
stable having been of wood. He was
asked to estimate the cost of a brick sta
ble, and reported the amount of 8750.
The agent then notified Ssnidt that he
would build him anew brick stable in the
place of the old frame one, but Smidt be
came very indignant at the proposition,
saying:
“I do not understand dis insurance
business. 1 pay you for nine hundred
dollar, and when my shtable burn down
■you make me anew one. I net, want a
new shtable. 1 want nine hundred dol
lar.”
The agent reasoned with Smidt, hut
all to no purpose. When the stable was
finished Smidt went to consult a law
yer, thinking liecouldstill get the amount
of tho policy, besides having the now
stable.
The lawyer however, informed him that
the company had a right to make good
tho loss by building anew stable, and ex
pressed surprise at bis bringing suit
against them.
“But,” said Smidt, “I insure for nine
huiff!red dollar, and dis follow put up
deni shtable for seven hundred and fifty
dollar—l do not understand do insurance
business.”
Finding that he could not compel the
payment by law, he became disgusted
with the insurance business altogether.
Calling upon the agent, Smidt Baid :
“Mr. Agent, I vant you to stop de in
surance on mine vise. I do not pay any
more monish dat way ; I do not under
stand dis insurance business.”
Agent, surprised : “Why Mr. Smidt
you are doing a very foolish thing. You
have paid considerable upon this policy
already and if your wife should die, you
will get 85,000.”
“Yah, dat ish vat you tell me now,”
said Smidt. “Von I pays you on my
shtable, you say I get nine hundred dol
lars if it burnt, down. So it was burnt,
and vou not give me mine monish. You
say, O, dat was an old,frame shtable, and
yen not pay me mine nine hundred dol
lar. Ven mine vise dies, den you say to
me, 0, she vas an old Dutch woman ;
she not wort anyding*; I get you anew
English vise ! And so I lose mine five
thousand dollars. You not fool Smidt
again. I not understand dis insurance
businees.”
I>rware of Credit.
While, perhaps, it is impossible to
transact all business oil a cash basis,
the only one is safe who keeps as near
this solid foundation as porsible. Credit
must be given and taken, but, the cases
arc rare where an expanded credit has
been beneficial to any merchant. There
is a charm about credit to many, it would
seem; a charm which allures wen to fi
nancial ruin. Men who would never
think of borrowing money, even at low
rates of interest, will seek for a credit of
a few months on which they pay a heavy
rate. If it is true that “borrowing dulls
the edge of husbandry,” what must be
tie effect of credit on the prudential
habits so necessary to a successful mail
of business ? A merchant, buys goods on
a credit of three months, at a rate wll\cb
leaves a margin of security to the seller.
He must compete it, selling the same
goods, with one who, having bought for
cash, can afford to undersell him. The
goods disposed of be finds hut little prof
it in his hands, while there is a chance
that a financial crisis may overwhelm him
in the meantime. Buying and selling on
credit, a stringency in the money market
may cause him disappointment in receiv
ing many payments on which he depend
ed, and it being imperative that his en
gagements should be met, he must bor
row or compound. Credit is a continual
temptation to a man. He will always
have a disposition to go beyondhis depth
if his credit is good and money easy. A
credit of even three months is dangerous
to the man of small capital in the rnuta
tiens of the money market. While, as
we have said, business can hardly be
transacted on a cash basis, it is plainly
prudent to resist tbe temptation to inflate
business. Young men making|tbcir first
mercantile ventures especially need the
caution : Beware of Credit.
Problematic Grains. —A German
pedlar was asked if it was not very heavy
work carrying a big pack about day after
day. “Oh, yes,” he replied, “itwas heavy.
“Well,” said the queriest, “do you
make much ?” “Veil, I dunno. Some
days I makes notting, and oder days
twice so much?”
“You ought to let me pass here free of
charge, considering the benevolent nature
of my profession,” said a physician to a
toll-ga'e keeper. “Not so,” was the reply,
“you send too many dead heads through
here now.” The doctor didn’t stop to
argue the point, but paid his toll and
passed on.
THE NATIONAL FINANCES.
Tke first duty which Congress will he
called upon to perforin, when it cones
together week after next, is to make the
government’s revenuo equal to its expen
ditures, which can only bo done by an
increase of taxation. We regard an in
crease of taxation, under existing circum
stances, as the only plan by which our
currency can be saved from further de
preciation, and the country protected
from a repetition of tho ruinous specula
tion and demoralization which followed
the war. Already, as the result of the
panic, lower prices have been established
in most articles. The volume of business
transactions has been greatly contracted.
The unhealthy growth of our railroad
system and the great stock speculations
in Wall street have been stopped. Mon
ey is steadily and even rapidly accumu
lating at the financial centres. Confi
dence is slowly recovering, and will con
tinue to increase, unless it. should be
prostrated by fresh catastrophes. But
it is contrary to the genius of the Amer
ican people to keep their money idle.
The records of the past experience teach
us that before many months money will
be obtainable at very low rates of inter
est. by those who can give good security.
The facts, then, are these ; reduced
prices, diminished trade, manufactures
and wages, and an increased quantity of
money. It is the last consideration to
which we attach the greatest importance.
Here we have a Secretary of the Treasu
ry, without warrant of law and without a
shadow of excuse, except the necessities
of the. government, manufacturing money
at the rate of one or two millions a week.
The inevitable result of this combination
of circumstances will bo another period
of blind speculation with its accompani
ments of defalcations and swindling, with
another and worse collapse of credit as
the certain termination. The only es
cape from these calamities of tho future
is the immediate stoppage of tho paper
money mill at, Washington, and the wit h
drawal of the illegal issue of greenbacks
already made. But to effect this Con
gress must cut down appropriations and
restore some of the imposts which it has
removed.
In reply to an objection which is sure
to be urged by the demagogues, that the
people are already “ground into the earth”
by taxation, wo have only to say that it
was not taxation which caused the panic,
and that the raising of forty or fifty mil
lion dollars more a year from a nation of
as many souls, will not be an unendura
ble hardship. If the contrary is main
tained, wo trust that tho extravagant ap
propriations of the late Congress will be
viewed in the light of that opinion. We
trust that, the cost of the war with Spain,
which is now so vehemently clamored for,
will he counted. But still we should
prefer somewhat oppressive taxation to
the alternative of swindling tho creditor
classes by a further inflation of the cur
rency. To ruin the thrifty for the bene
fit of the unthrifty is sure in the end
to destroy the prosperity of a country,
no matter what its natural advantages
may be. We are opposed to raising
money by the sale of bonds to meet de
ficiencies in current, revenue. We think
the people should be made to feci the
consequence of the reckless improvidence
of their representatives. But, nothing
can be. worse than the slow, silent, study
“watering” to which the currency has
now for two months been subjected at
the hands of Mr. Richardson, Tho sow
ing of the dragon’s teeth, the gift of the
shirt of Nessus, the similar repulsive
conceptions of antiquity are the only fit
ting comparisons for the financial “poli
cy” of the Administration.— N. Y. Trib

POSITION OF TIIE SO VTII
A Washington telegram to the New
YVirk Times says :
“There are conflicting opinions as to
the position of the Southern sentiment
upon the question of war. A gentleman
holding high official position stated that
the South would be a unit in favor of
war. Ho said that on a recent trip
through the Southern States he had con
stantly to repel suggestions of the use
fulness of a foreign war as a means for
consolidating pnblic sentiment in this
country. He believed that a war with
Spain would do much to revive a feeling
of American nationality in the South, and
he knew that soldiers who should volun
tarily risk their lives in battle for a com
mon cause would not long remember mu
tual differences of former days. On the
other hand, a gentleman who held a po
sition of distinction in tho Confederate
government and who had excellent op
portunities of observation, just returned
from the South, states that the people are
not for war.
The war feeling there is encouraged by
a few newspapers, and by a certain class
of politicians eager for distinction. The
masses of the people are against war, and
see no advantage in it, and are convinced
that the main results would be to fatten
an army of contractors and to extend a
territory already too incongruous and
unmanageable. The Southern people are
too much occupied in keeping the wolf
from the door to think of a foreign
war. A type of (he class which is eager
for war is a Republican member of Con
gress from Florida wh ') publicly statedthat
he should make a ringing war speech in
Congress because he knew it would be of
great service to him in his own State in
his approaching canvass for the United
States Senatorship.”

Why the Clergyman’ll Daughter
Shot Mr. Jlaynes.
Jackion (Teno.) Whig ami Tribune, Nor. 22.]
The Corinth (Miss.) News, Novembor
15, says: “The daughter of Kev. Mr.
Richardson, living a few miles from this
place, having some misunderstanding
pervious]} - with a gentleman, went to his
home, found him at work, spoke to and
shook hands with, and then drew from
under her shawl a pistol, placed it to his
breast and fired. The man at last ac
counts was living, but in a hopeless con
dition.”
The above article is true, and the gen
tleman wounded was Mr. Mark Haynes,
of MeNairy county. It is said that ho
was engaged to bo married to the young
lady, Miss Mattie Richardson, and was
about to “go back” upon his plighted
word and honor, and had so notified his
fair affianced. When she received intel
ligence of his contemplated apostacy, she
grew so indignant that she rode over to
Haynes’ residence in a buggy, in com
pany with a young brother, and, calling
Haynes towards her, she drew forth a
pistol from under her shawl and shot
him, as abovo described. Miss Richard
son and her brother were both arrested
after the shooting, and had a preliminary
trial before James Houston, Esq., who
bound them over to the next term of the
Circuit Court of MeNairy county. The
bond of Miss Richardson was fixed at
SI,OOO, and was promptly given. Haynes
was wounded in the right lung, and his
condition at last accounts was extreme}
critical. He is a new-comer to this sec
tion, and hails from Georgia.
Hill Arp Interviews a New Publish
er.
Next mornin 1 went down to the Fifth
Avenue Hotel. Mr. ft. W. Carleton, the
book publisher was there and said he
thought he kno wed mo, and when I told
him uiy name he sed he remembered read
in sum of iny letters which I writ to Mr.
Linkhorn along time ago- -sed Mr. Link
horn or sumbody else showed cm to him
he wasentsertin wieli. He had a big book
store under the hotel and there was a
power of nice people a perooisn around.
lie introduced me to Josh Billins. He
was a sad lookin man with a large open
countenance, and wore his hair all over
his nock like a Canadian pony. I sup.
pose that me and him will always differ
about wearing our hair.
The next man 1 met was Mr. Elie P.
Perkins, Esq., with the first P left out.
He said that Elie spelt his name with a
small e and big lie, and was known in the
city as Big he I'erkins. They sed he was
the successor t o A item us Ward wax
works and from the way he is pilin up
money I suppsse wax works well. I al
ways was partial to white men and he’s
the most white man I saw in New Tork.
About this time a very large man with
a white cravat cum in to see Mr. Carle
ton, and axd him how he liked his manu
script, and Mr. Carleton said it was too
heavy, and he axd Carleton if he meant
thcr was too much led in it—that he
would advise hi in to go to Skribner or
Lippenvot —that, lie only published such
books as the peepul would read.
The large man looked thoughtful and
disappointed, and taken his manuscript,
went clean away. The title of his book
was “The Metoforik Aualisis of Kimcreau
Abstrositios.” Next a little frisky man
with a lively open countenance come
along, and axd Mr. Carleton what he
thought of his book.
“Dont soot me exactly,” sed Mr. Carle
ton, “tis a most too light, too much froth
for flic syllabub, dont think it would
go.” Tlie title of bis book was “The
Ting-a-Ling of Aunt Tabbys Door Bell.”
1 was sorry for the big man and sorry
for the little man, and told Mr. Carle
ton I thought he ought to let ’em down
easy. He said it was an every days busi
ness, and he bad got hardened to it —
that be rejected ten books to where he
aksepted one, and he published a good
deal of trash even then.
Disliken to disagree with him on a
short akwantance, I sed “Yes, I
think you do.” But I close for these
presents. Yours, Bin, Aar.
Who Can Most Easily he Spared ?
Young men, this is the first question
your employers ask themselves, when
business becomes slack, and when it is
thought necessary to economize in the
matter of salaries. This question is an
swered in an American journal to our
satisfaction. It answers the question
who can best be spared this wav : The
br.rnacles, the sharks, the make-shifts,
somebody’s nephews, protegees, somebodys
good-for-nothings. Young man, please
remember that these are not the ones
who arc called for when responsible
positious are to be filled. Would you
like to gauge your own fitness for a
position of prominence 'i Would you like
to know the probabilities of your getting
such a position ? Inquire within ! What
are you doing to make yourself valuable
in the position you now occupy ? If you
are doing with your might what your
hands find to do, the chances are ten to
one that you will soon become so valuable
in that position that you cannot easily
be spared from it; and then, singular to
relate, will be the very time when you
will be sought out for promotion to a
better place. Be content to grade among
the men who can easily be spared, and
you may rest assured that nothing wilt
“spare ” you so certainly and so easily as
promotion.
