Rome Tri-Weekly Courier : “El
der J. Morgan, a member of what
is popularly known as the Mormon
church of ‘Salt Lake City, was in our
sanctum Friday. He preaches Sun
day at City Hall. He has been in
this section about three months.
During that time he has had about
forty converts from Floyd and Chat
tooga counties to his church. About
half of this number are women. Tie
expects to soon baptize thirteen or
fourteen new coaverts in Armuchee
creek, near Jones’ mill.” We call
the attention of the Legislature to
the subject.
The Valdosta Times says : “A
band of five or six negroes from
Florida made an attempt to rob the
premises of Dr. J. P. V. lligdon on
the night of the 4th inst. They
had learned from someone that the
Doctor’s wife was not at home, and
how to get the docto* out of the way
engaged their attention. Their first
idea was to decoy him away, by
sending him, in company with one
of their number, on a pretended pro
fcssional call to Stateuville, a dis
tance of two miles, while the others
remained to plunder the premises.—
This plan worked very well until
they had proceeded some distance
down the road. The suspicions ac
tions of the negro told the Doctor
that something was wrong, and he
turned his horse to go hack. The
negro seeing his little game about to
he spoiled attempted to get hold of
the Doctor. Failing in this by the
Doctor urging lus horse to a gallop
the negro then shouted to His com
panions to shoot him, catch him.—
Several shots were fired at the Doc
tor as lie galloped up to his lot gate,
but without effect. Those attempts
by negroes to murder and rob per
sons along the Florida line are be
coming too frequent.
The Marietta Journal gives the
following details of the woman mur
der in Pickens county. “It seemed
a party had been given at the house
of Mr. Hambrick, at which quite a
number of both sexes had assembled
Among the number were Mrs. South
ern, the married daughter of Mrs.
Hambrick, and also Mrs. Cowart
formerly a Fawier, who was divorc
ed from Cowart. The dancing had
been kept up to a late hour, when
it, is said Mrs. Southern went to lier
father, Mr. Hambrick, and asked
him for his knife. In reply as to
what she wanted with it, she said
she wanted to cut a toothbrush.—
The knife was given her, and short
ly after yards she be came involved
in angry controversy with Mrs. Cow
art, who was at that time on the
lloor with the dancers. One word
led to another when blows were ex
changed. Mrs. Cowart was knock
ed down, and just as two other wo
men were lifting her up, Mrs. South
ern stabbed her in the throat and
breast seven times, Mrs. Cowart fall
ing to the floor a ghastly corpse, be
smeared in the crimson tide of her
own life’s blood, while the specta
tors looked on paralyzed with horror
Finally a gentleman requested that
no one leave the house until the
guilty were a res ted, when, it is said,
the husband of the murderess drew
his revolver and refused to have the
motion put on its passage, and the
house was cleared. At last accounts
Sheriff Lindsey, of Pickens, had a
warrant for the arrest of four per
sons, including Mrs. Southern, her
husband and father, and was on route
to make the arrests. Jealousy is
said to be the cause of the sad af
fair.”
Arkansas.
A convention was held at Little
Rock to consider the question of es
tablishing an Immigration Bureau
for the State. The Convention pass
ed a resolution calling on the Legis
lature, which is now m sesion, to ap
propriate $25,000. The convention
also recommended the reduction of
the exemption of taxation on manu
facturers from £2,000 to SSOO. From
a special message of Governor Miller,
we notice the floating debt of the
State is $1,510,444. Bonds held by
the United States, with interest,
making a total government debt of
$1,737,950. Total new bonds, $575,
08,S. Old unfunded debt, exclusive
of the debt of the United States,
$482,355. Total new funded debt,
$4,194,510. Total railroad aid bonds,
$7,157,145. Total levee, $2,707,118,
the whole making $17,752,196.
The total revenue of the State a year
is SOOO,OOO, and $320,000 of this is
required to meet the expenses of the
State government.
The State is offered settlement upon
a basis of fifty cents on the dollar for
six per cent, bonds, thirty-live icuts
on railroad aid bonds, and twenty-five
cents on levee bonds.
The Governor refuses to recommend
the settlement on this basis, because
the limit of taxation to which the
resources of the State are equal, and
which is fixed by the Constitution,
would not suffice to pay the interest
upon the debt thus reduced.
This is the condition of the finan
ces of Arkansas, brought about by
Radical carpc*t-bg government, as
the Governor in the following shows;
As I had occasion in substance to
remark in my inaugural address, the
restoration of legitimate government,
in 1874, found an emty treasury, a
beggared people,a financial reputa
tion apparently ruined. The scrip
of the State, nominally quoted at
twenty-five cents on the dollar, was
a drug upon the market even at that
price. As the sole practical means
of meeting the contingent expenses
of the government, it had become
the custom to issue such scrip at
the rate of three or four dollars for
one ; and eyery day was plunging
the State into more hopeless bank
ruptcy, Money, there was none.
Credit, there was none. The peo
ple was disheartened, and, because
disheartened, comparatively idle.—
Such was the poverty of the State, j
that during many mouths succeed
ing the ehauge of administration, its
officers were habitually compelled to
advance their private funds, and
even to borrow on their private cred
it, to obtain the stationery and iay
the petty expenses of their offices.
Tlie Banner Geoyla Won No
vember 7.
Dallas, Texas, February 12, 1877.
To the Editor of the Union: Sir-
A Texas letter may not grace your
columns as well as the facile and for
cible contributions of the Macaulay
of the present day, Jer niiah Black,
but it may, nevertheless, furnish
some items not wholly unintresting.
Your Washington readers other
than the Georgia and Texas mem
bers may not know that Texas chal
lenged Georgia"to east a larger Dem
ocratic majority than this great com
monwealth, and the wager was to be
a splendid silken banner. Georgia
unhesitatingly accepted the chal
lenge, and, to the astonishment of
all Texans, cast a larger Note than
was polled in Texas.
She won the banner fairly, and it
has juse been made for her and will
be transmitted to Atlanta, via Wash
ington city, immediately. The fol
lowing is a description of the Hag : It
is an immense banner, requiring four
stalwart Georgians to lift it, being G£
by 8 feet, having on the side a single
hand holding aloft the national Hag
with all its colors. The flag gently
and gracefully undulates from the
staff; the staff itself is surmounted
with a liberty cap. Blazing out from
all sides of this flag are radiant beams
of golden light resting upon a back
ground of heavy white silk.
On the reverse, in the centre of
the banner, is the lone starof Texas,
partly surrounded with oak leaves
and having a graceful drapery of na
tional colors falling on either side of
it. Just above the star is an im
mense eagle with outstretched wings.
Just underneath the star are the
words, in large letters of gold,
“Democratic Centennial Banner.’’
Just to the right of and slightly
above it are the coat-of-arms of Geor
gia, and the legend “Won by Geor
gia from Texas, 1876.”
A broad border of azure and gold
edges the banner on either side.
Large gilded acorns are at each end
of tlie cross-bar, and the main staff
on the banner is surmounted by a
golden eagle. The proper cords,
tassels, and fringes accompany the
banner. It was intended that this
flag should be the most magnificent
ever made in this country, and it is
probable that nothing equal to it
has ever been made in America.
His excellency the lion. R. B.
Hu board, Governor of Texas, issued
to tlie lion. James B. Simpson, as
the representative of the Young
Democracy of Texas, a commission
to convey this banner to Geogia.
Private Bank Account*. —Wen-
*ttge from .fir. Tiltlen.
New York, February 21.—T0
Hon. Francis Keruan, Washington ;
A telegram to the Associated Press,
published this morning, states that
a harmonious agreement has been
brought about between the Senate
Committee, of which you area mem
ber, and a committee of the House
by which it has been decided not to
go into ail examination of my bank
account on the one hand, or the ac
count of the Chairman of tee Repub
lican National Committee on the
other hand. I repuditc any such
agreement and disclaim any such
' immunity, protection or benefit
from it. J reject the utterly false
imputation that my private bank ac
count contains anything whatever,
that needs to be concealed. Under
the pretence of looking for a pay
ment in December, the demand was
for all payments after May and all
deposits during nine months. The
bank was repeatedly menaced with
the removal of its officers and books
to Washington. A transcript of en
tries of private business trusts, con
taining everything but what the
Committee was commissioned to in
vestigate ; but nothnig which it was
commissioned to investigate, because
nothing of that sort existed, has
been taken with knowledge to Wash
ington. Of course, there is no item
in it relating to Oregon, for I never
made, authorized, or knew of any
expenditures in relation to the elec
tion in that State, or that resulting
controversies, or any promise or ob
ligation, or negotiations, with the
subject.
Mr. Ellis, the acting president of
the bank, himself a Republican,
some time ago told the chairman of
committee and several of its mem
bers that there is nothing in the ac
count capable of furthering any just
object of the investigation.
I am also informed that a resolution
was passed to summon me as a wit
ness, but I have received however no
subpoena. I had written, before this
telegram appeared, requesting you to
say to the committee that it would
be more agreeable to me not to visit
Washington if the committee would
send a sub committee, or hold a ses
sion here; but that otherwise, I
should attend under the subpoena.
As to this arrangement now re
ported, I have only to say that I can
accept decorum and decency but not
a fictitious equivalent for a mantle
of secrecy tu anvb >dy else.
[Signed.j S. J. Tildkn
The President will leave the Exe
cutive Mansion on Saturday, March,

Blue Light Care.
As the question is frequently ask
ed, what is the blue light cure, wo
cannot belter answer inquires that
by publishing the following interview
which took place between a corres
pondent of the New York World
and General Pleasonton, the discov
erer of the blue light cure :
“General Pleaonton expressed
himself happy to give me all the in
formation in his power about the
virtues of blue light. I asked if bo
had known of its influence upon an
imal life and vegetable life tor any
time.
“Y'es,” he veplied. ‘l’ve had
blue panes in my grapery for more
than ten years, and the action of the
light upon tlie plants was really won
derful. Those vines or parts of vin
es exposed to the blue rays attained
a development wonderfully greater
than those influenced solely by the
ordinary light, and Mr. Biiist, a dis
tinguished florist, has been very suc
cessful in restoring to healthful vig
or numerous plants, apparently dy
ing by the same plan."
“What is the principle, General ?*’
“Why, theelectro-magnestism de
veloped by the passage of the sun’s
rays through plain, transparent glass
associated with blue glass possesses
wonderful curative powers.”
“What kind of glass do you use ?"
“A French glass of dark Mazarine
blue. It is colored with cobalt, the
ingredients of the glass and the met
al being fused together.”
“What is the method*of appliance
say, to a little girl with curvature of
the spine. I know one so afflic
ted ?”
“Well, if you want an exceeding
ly strong light, have a whole sash
tilled with blue panes and place it
immediately in front of your ordina
ry sash. Then bare the little girl’s
back down to her hips, so as to have
the spine exposed to the influence of
the blue light. Then, when the sun
is shining, scat her on a chair a lit
tle way from the window, so as not
to be exposed to the draught coming
in through the crevices of the win
dow, and let her take a sun bath of
about half an hour or so. Do that
for several days, and if the child de
sires, give her another bath in the
afternoon. Give her no medicine,
allow her to eat what agrees with
her and I am confident that the child
will be greatly relieved—l hope en
tirely cured.”
“Is it necessary to have an entire
sash of blue pa ties ?”
“Oh, no. Generally half a dozen
panes are sufficient. But then the
patient must move as the sun mov
es.”
“Its effects upon your injured
back was astonishing?”"
“Very true. But it has effected
much more astonishing cures. Only
this morning I received a letter from
Cairo, 111 ; from a lady who had been
alllcted with a dereadful disease of
spinal meningitis. She had been
suffering for four year and was cured
by the blue-light process.”
“Is it, then, invariably success
ful?”
“So far, lam happy to say, it
is.”
“Well, then, as I understand it,
any one suffering form local disease
is simply to obtain window-panes of
dark Mazarine blue, French the best,
place it in frontof the ordinary plain
window-glass, so that the light will
pass through the blue immediately
upon coming from the ordinary glass
the diseased part to be directly ex
posed to the blue rays. This treat
ment is particularly efficacious iu all
diseases of the spine. Any one Irv
ing it is not at all indebted to you
in a pecuniary sense, but is asked on
ly to send you a minute description of
the effect produced uixm their sys
tems.”

Ru*ian Army.
The readiness of the forces of the
| Czar is surprising to England.
The army now numbers 200.000 men
on all arms, with full supplies of ma
terial amt vast paraphernalia for
j crossing the Danube in twenty-four
hours from the bugle’s sound “for
ward.” In Transcaucasus 115,000
men are ready to descend on Asia
: Minor and make their way over ev
ery obstacle to the castle of Asia on
the Bosphorus. One hundred thou
sand men are massed on the Black
Sea coast for defence of the Crimea
if need lie, or to make a descent upon
Turkey in Europe by water. Be
hind this force is a reserve of 75,000
men. In Bessarabia 10,000 Cossacks
are thrown forward as an advance
guard. Very onnuous, too, reads
the information that the Central So
i ciety of St. Petersburg for assisting
i the wounded in war has received the
Czar’s permission for the collection
of money and materials ; also the cir
| euJar of the Holy Synod ordering the
converts to delegate Sisters of Char
ity for immediate service on the
Pruth. Sounding, too, like march
ing are the Russian orders for 100,
000 pairs of shoes in Mayence. Sug
gestive of sharv work is the scene of
! thousands of Sheffield steel woikers
busily engaged hammering, pointing
and polishing bayonets for Russia
and others shaping guns and patting
gun carriages together.
Midhat Pasha is fitting grimlv
