Murdered.
Mr. Crcswcll, of Bartow Count)’,
was killed a few nights ago, so says
the Rom j Commercial, by a Mr.
Conrad a Swede. The difficulty
originated about a contract in refer
ence to cleaning a well.
Judge Johnson.
We see from the Savannah papers
that Judge Johnson has been engaged
for several days in holding Court in
Savannah.
lie left Savannah the other day,
after making reputation for legal learn
ing with the Savannah Bar.
Convicted of Robbery.
Dr. Harrington was convicted the
other day, in Fulton Superior Court,
of the offence of robbery. He is the
gentleman—“the banker’’ —who was
charged sometime since, with robing
Sjieiicer in the room of Bedell. It
was for this offence that he was con
victed.
Courts.
Judge Hopkins, in Atlanta, and
Judge Ilill, in Macon, continue to
hold the Spring term of their rcspcct-
Courts. We sympathize with the
lawyers, jurors, parties, witnesses and
officers of the Court,.but not with
the Judges, as they should not hold
court this hot weather.
Tilton Beecher.
Tilton is unearthing the old scan
dal against Henry Ward Beecher.
Whether Tilton is actuated by pure
or impure motives in making disclos
ures, it is true that the disclosures are
convincing the public that Beecher
was not without blame.
If Tilton had had any manly quali
ties, the offence of Beecher would
have been thoroughly known long
Ago- _____
Killed by a Negro.
A Mr. Dickson, of Habersham
county, was killed the other night by
a defq>era(e negro, named Lewis Clev
eland, while attempting, in company
with other gentlemen to capture
him.
Cleveland had attempted to rape a
respectable white woman, in Forsyth
county, and made his escape into
Ilobershani. It was for this offence
that the egort was being mad to
arrest him, when he shot and killed
1 >iekson.
** Louisiana Desperation .
Radicalism has certainly been driv
en to desperation. The party has
captured a Custom House, for the
purpose of a State Convention, and
surrounded it with guns and soldiers,
in order to secure harmony of action
ami unanimity of opinion. The par
ty whip drives the Legislature and
cent rolls drunken judges, so as to
have decisions of their own.
The last desperate step was to seize
a Bulletin Newspaper. Who can iin
agine what is yet, to be done by the
Cod and morality party.
Hon. L. N. Trammell.
We are informed that Jlon. L. N.
'lranimell, of Dalton, at present,
President of the Georgia Senate, will
he a candidate for Congress in his
District. We wish him success. \\ e
want a sprinkle of practical common
sense men in Congress from the
South.
Trammell is not brilliant, nor wculd
he turn out to he acoxcombifhe
were elected to Confess, but by a
practical clear-headed common sense
course, he would, doubtless be of great
service to Ihc State. At any rate, we
wish him success.
State Agricultural Convention .
The Georgia State Agricultural
Society will hold its next convention
at Stone Mountain, commencing on
the 11 th of August. We have received
the Semi-annual Bulletin, issued hy
the Secretary, Mr. Malcolm Johnson.
From the programme, wo are led to
believe the next Convention will he
one of much interest. The same del
egates will attend, who were selected
for the February convention. Dr. E.
M. Pendleton and Prof. H. C. White
will furnish something of interest
again. Tickets will be issued to the
delegates over the different railroads,
as in the past, and the Secretary de
sires a full attendance and a determi
nation to make the convention of
benefit to the agricultural interest
The Grand Jury of Bibb Superior
Court, last week, found a true bill
against Dr. William Bull as accessory
to the crime of murder with which
Ins son stands charged. Our readers
remember the case ns reported .1 fgw
weeks since.
Meeting of the State Democratic
Executive Committee.
As all good Democrats look with
some interest to the meeting and ac
tion of the State Democratic Exeou
tive Committee, which met in Atlanta
Wednesday, we give a summary of the
action of the Committee. This Com
mittee is composed of the following
gentlemen:
Hon. Tlios. Hardeman, Chairman.
Stareat large—Col. John L. Harris,
Brunswick; Hon. Warren Aiken, of
Bartow; Hon. Nelson Tift, (J Dough
erty; Hon. J. 11. Christie, of Clarke.
First District—Hon. J. C. Nich
olls, of Pierce; Hon Jas. M. Hunter,
of brooks.
Second District—Hon. Herbert
Fielder, of Randoph; Hon. T M.
Follow, of Sumter.
Third District—Hon. E. 11. Wor
roll, of Talbot; Major J. C. Wooten,
of Coweta.
Fourth District—Col. J. S. Boyn
ton, of Spalding; Hon. T. (J. Lrwson,
of Putnam.
Fifth District—Hon. Aug. Reese,
of Morgan; lion. James 1. Jones, of
Burke.
Sixth District—Col. Thos. Morris
of Franklin; Col. J. Estes, of Hall.
Seventh Distlict—Col. I. W, Avery,
of Fulton; Hon. L. N. Trammell, of
Whitfield.
The meeting was harmonious. Some
good recommendations. A brief
statement of the political situation,
in the form of an address was issued,
recommending union and harmony,
the selection of good and able men,
earnest, action and a quick, sharp and
decisive campaign.
Thorough organization in every
county and a rigid enforcement of t he
law of Ihe State prohibiting illegal
voting were advised.
Districts having no Executive Com
mittees, were recommended to hold
Conventions, where the last Congress
ional Conventions were held.
A novel feature was the denuncia
tion of ihe personal attendance of
aspirants for Congress, upon primary
and county meetings, to control their
action and upon Congiessioual Dis
trict meetings to electioneer for their
nomination. They might have gone
furt her and denounced aspirants trav
eling around through the districts
drumming up llu-ir candidacy.
They recommend a quick and short
campaign, and at the same time, fixed
the time of holding a nominating
convention in this District, on the
19th of August, making the cam
paign nearly three months. There
arc other features we wish to comment
on, hut space in this issue will not
admit. Wc will give the full pro
ceedings in our next issue.
Now Post-MasterGfeueral.
In a calm, clear and unclouded
moment, when no thunders of dissat
isfaction seemed to disturb the Cabinet
Elements, Post-master General Cres
wcll's resignation peals through the
telegrams on the ears of the people.
From the official correspondence,
between Creswcll and the President,
we get the assert ion that he resigns
to give neglected private interests his
attention.
But it is understood that other rea
sons really caused the change which
was brought about hy the President
himself. Since General Bristow has
been made Secretary of the Treasury
tlic New England interest lias been
pressing for representation in the
Cabinet, which had been lost by the
removal of Secretary Richardson, and
the Post-office Department was named
for the succession. Mr. Creswcll, it
was known, was very much opposed
to the efforts made in Congress to
partially restore the franking privilege
and annoyed at the charges made in
the House during the session regard
ing the straw bid ring in postal con
tracts. It was found to be an easy
matter to get Mr. Creswcll to resign,
and after the Cabinet meeting the
programme was made public. Eu
gene Hale, of Maine, present member
of Congress, and son-in-law of Senator
Chandler, has been tendered
the Postmaster-Generalship. The
new appointment makes it out
that the selection means a coalition
between Speaker Blaine and President
Grant over the Presidential success
ion, and on the other hand, that is is
a movement to head off Blaine’s chan
ces for the Republican nomination by
taking into the present Administra
tion his closest friend.
Mr. Cresswcll simply gives the an
swer to his friends, that the officer
who fills the place acceptably leads a
dog's life; that lie is worn down and
tired of it, and wants to devote him
self to his profession.
Mr. Hale declines to accept on ac
count of his health.
Supreme Court.
Our State Supreme Court adjourned
on Wednesday last, after being in
session since the 8d Monday in Janu
ary. The fall term begins on next
Monday, the Ist Monday in July, hut
it is understood that the Court will
meet and adjourn over to someday in
Ah gust. Such a course was found to
be highly necessary in order to give,
the Judges any rest at all.
Who can doubt That the Supreme
Court is over worked? And from a
court worked, who can ex
pect always to find clear explicit and
correct legal rulings. The Supreme
Court was organized to correct the
errors of the because
the decisions of the Superior Courts
are necessarily hastely made up, and
are not the result deliberation and
thought, and Mr this reason, were not
satisfactory as final decisions.
It was thought the Supreme Court
would have time to deliberate—to
examine authorities and discuss ques
tions of difference arising out of a
case between the individual members
of the court, and in this way, arrive
at a correct and satisfactory conclu
sion, as to the law of each case, and
that the decision, when made, would
ho satisfactory. But the court as now
pressed with business, have but little
time to deliberate or run down au
thorities and the decisions are at times
far from being satisfactory.
Nor will it be otherwise until the
duties of the court are lessened. Re
lief, relief of some sort is the need of
the Court. ix)t the Governor, the
Judges, Lawyers and Legislators, put
on their studying caps and get im
'nwJio plan of relief.
Political.
The candidates all over the State
have been piling sticks and coals
around the pot political, and now the
waters surface begins to bubble. All
classes of politicians and office seek
ers, except aspirants for President and
Governor, and a few, even of the latter
class, in their zeal have been rolling
up chips.
In the zeal for friends and the po
litical excitement generally, many
arc liable to think there is nothing
necessary but to beat out the Ibidical
, party. There are other vastly impor
tant issues at stake. The most avail
able man has been the one chosen to
run the race heretofore. We should
put in the men of representative char
acter. Men whose wisdom, integrity
and patriotism, will he a guarantee of
the protection of liberty and right.
Men that will not constitute a link in
any political ring, and lastly men who
would sooner pine away on the bleak
mound of poverty, than )>e hired to
say that their State should pay spu
rious bonds. These are the kind of
men that we need, and these are the
kind of men that we must call to our
Legislative arena, if wo would return
our glorious old State to commercial
prosperity and general progress.
Maine Politics.
The two parties of Maine have held
nominating conventions and put out
their candidates for Congress. The
Republicans make an issue on the
temperance and prohibition question.
The Democracy of this State by
their resolutions in convention showed
themselves squarely In favor of Hard
Mbney, Free Trade, local control of
local affairs, and a general reform in
the Administration, which has become
so corrupt under Republican rule, and
on this platform they will go to the
polls again in September next. A
triumph of reform would l>e hailed
with great joy. Before anil after the
war are very marked periods in the
history of Maine. Formerly, under
Democratic rule, ship-yards were bu
sy, docks were full, laborers content
ed, merchants prosperous. To-dav
they are sleeping under a lethargy of
despair.
The Indian?.
The history of t he Indians is indeed
a peculiar one. The latest telegrams
tell us that “important changes have
taken place in the Indian Territory.
-All the agents of the civilized Indians
have been relieved excepting J. B.
Jones, the agent of the Chcrokees,
and a central agency has been estab
lished at Fort Gibson. The Cliero
kces, Choctaws, Creeks, Siminoles,
Chicasaws and other civilized Indians,
will ho under Agent Jones. This is
regarded as an experiment on a small
scale to familiarize Indians with self
government under future territorial
organization. A number t>f prominent
Indians will take strong ground in
their coming annual elections in favor
of secaonizing their county territorial
government and citizenship in the
United States.
The Oaklahama Star, published at
Caddo, in the Choctaw nation,'openly
advocates their doctrine.”
College Exercises.
The principal news of the day, is
the reports of college exercises. East
week was commencement week for
Lagrang Female College, the Griffin
Female College, the Masonic Female
College at Covington.
This week is the commencement
week for Mercer University, Gordon
Institute and Talbotton Female Col
lege. Colleges are getting to be nu
merous, but not too much so. We
wish there could be a college in every
village iu Georgia. When institutions
of learning are plentiful and easy of
access, lw.itlt as to distance and ;ix to
pike, learning is general and igumr-i
twice is rare.
Carpenter’s Press Muzzle.
The papers throughout the country
are denouncing Carpenter severely,
on account of his hill proposing to try
all cases of libel, or slander, origina
ting from the Washington correspond
ents in Washington City.
A Western pa]>er thinks Carpenters
skin was made thin—rather too thin
for a Radical Senator—by the Long
Branch publications.
Carpenter justifies himself by say
ing, that it is only the libelous minded
editors and correspondents that object
to the bill, and that those who have
some regard for the truth, have no
fear of injustice growing ou f of the
bill.
The Negro.
The “Rosy” Lnehrane, in a letter to
the Atlanta Herald, explaining bis
political status, does not, now since
the nomination of Freeman, propose
to run as an imlopemlant candidate,
lie thinks the Civil Rights Bill a trap
to catch the colored people. In re
gard to it he says:
“The colored men can testify in Courts of
Justice. They can sit on juries; they can
vote; they can liohl real estate; they can
receive every right ami every prerogative
of citizenship. The mistake, in my humble
opinion, which foolish Legislators make, is
in do more. The Civil Rights
Bill is only u tmip to catch the colored peo
ple in trouble. 'Cut men who advocate it
are inline need by the same pretences of
special guardianship over them, which is,
in itself, an insult to his intelligence and
asserts his superiority, by alleging the neces
sity of law to make him equal. Equal to
what, and w hom? if he is already equal
before the law, (and he is,) why? To con
trol his votes. Will the eternal wrangle over
his inleiiority he kept up? Surely the intel
ligent colored voter will see, sooner or later,
that his interests are used as a foot ball for
political parties to kick, and in bis real
equality before the law; assert his manhood
by repo lhng such continued tm tmeutot him
asa child, in all practical issues, no man has
gone farther to put the colored man under
the segis of the law than myself-—not for any
special regard particularly lor him, but he
cause in this State, it is essential to harmony
of labor and capital that his rights should be
fixed; and it is our interest to see that they
are respected. When we realize that with
out labor we would be surrounded by a wil
derness of weeds, we are propared to
appreciate the value of larbor, peacefully
pursuing its daily w alk and avocation, under
the shelter of the government and laws,
securing to it its legitimate reward and
recompense, and my action on this line has
been governed with feelings wrought out in
the process of conviction in regard to our
material interests and general prosperity,
and in the furtherance of the great necessity
which exists for more labor. I would have
appropriated thq opportunity, had I been
honored with the place, to present our great
resources and their invitation to small
crpituhsls and farmers abroad, to east their
fortunes, where the subsistence of life is so
easily procured, and the means of acquiring
land and affluence so readily provided lor
the industrial classes.”
Slow but steadily the Catholic in
fluence spreads over (ho land. The
effort in behalf of the white race is
well known. Schools for Ihe colored
race arc now to he established.
The New York Freeman Journal,
in noticing the arrival of Bishop Gross
in New York, says:
He has been nil ovor his diocese repeat
edly, and has looked alter the best interests
of His flock. Georgia, more than any other
"t the States that seceded, except, perhaps,
Virginia, is in a prosperous condition since
Hie war. Carpet baggers cannot live in
Georgia. “The negroes would “boot”
them out. There is the best possible feeling
between the newly emancipated slaves and
llieir late masters.
') he latter, like wise men, have recognized
the situation, and made the best ot it by
showing themselvesbsincerely the freedmen,
on their part, have, by a kind of instinct felt
that they may belter trust the white men
that they have been brought up among,
than tiie “carpet baggers,” who belong to
the same race that, in times of slavery, when
one of them lit on a plantation, was recog
nized as an inexorable and cruel master.
By whatever Providcecc, or fiom what
ever causes, the Slate of Georgia reappears,
what she was before the unhappy civil war.
"the Empire State of the Mouth.” Georgia
is to he congratulated ter the wise statesman
ship that has kept her State government iu
the hands of men competent.
There is one thing noticeable in Georgia
—and, no doubt, in most of the other South
ern States. It is that the negroes—lately
emancipated—have learned that Cathvlic
priests arc their best friends. A tract of
nearly a thousand acres, down on the
Atlantic coast, having been putatthedis
position of Bishop Gross, he secured a colony
ot the Benedictine Order from Italy, with
an American at their head who became a
Benedictine at their home in Italy—Father
Wissell—to occupy this tract of land, for
the especial benefit of the negroes. Thus
the old Order of St. Benedict, that trained
the serfs of the Goths and Vandals into being
freemen,renews its youth, in engaging in
tlie work of evanglelizing the negroes of
the South, and training them for the condi
turn of freedom so unpreparedly thrust on
them by political demagogues.
A tr A nsc ex dent a l preacher took
for his text, “Feed my lambs.”—As
he came out of the church a plain old
fanner said to him, “That was a very
good text, but yon placed the hay so
high in the rack that the lambs
couldn't reach it, nor the old sheep
either.”
“Oh, grandma!” cried a mischiev
ous little urchin, “I cheated the hens
so nicely just now! I threw them
your gold beads just now, and they
thought they were corn, and they ate
them up as fast as they could.”
The onion crop is a profitable one,
if properly cultivated. W. Birdsall,
of Michigan, cleared on two acres,
last year, $081,50.
