VOL. 111. i [From the Savannah Morning News.] Letter From Burke Couuty. No. 10, Central Railroad, Ga., ) May Bth, 1878. ’ J Editors Morning News : In your Weekly News of the 3d iust., see over the signature of “Pierce Coun ty,” a communication, the object of which ia to procure some legislative protection for wool growers against the ravages of dogs. The complaint of the writer is by no means unfounded or unjust. I am inclined to think that farmers receive about as little protection, do more hard work and get less pay for it thau any other class of people living —— While extravagance in some cases re duce them to want,there seems t be another power iu the “dim distance” which is ever oppressing them. Undue or class legislation has a tendency to make some people poor and to keep them so. Aud our Northern friends — I suppose they have entered into some calculation as to the amount of cotton, &c., farmers are to make this season, and, however, that calculation may be incorrect, it nevertheless will bo suf ficient to assist them in swindling the tillers of the soil cut of a fair price for their products. Unfortunately for farmers they are very often self conceited, which arises from want of proper culture. It.is next to impossible to have them unite on matters of great importance to themselves. They can to-day be num bered by millions, and if united prop erly could wield an influence which would be more than sufficient to pro tect against any power in the land; and yet wo hear one of them complaining for want of a little protec tion for sheep. The grand telegraphic scheme of Professor Morse, when submitted to Congress with the hope of receiving aid, was treated with ridicule by some of the members, because they did not un derstand it. But I am a little suprised that the “dog law” of Oapt. Hunter should have been so unceremoniously dismissed by our Legislature. It would be a sourCo of revenue if the Legislature of the State would pass a law taxing dogs to a certain extent, and its effect would be seen jn the death of a great many of them, which are at this time infesting the State and barely getting sufficient food to sustain the life in them. The stay here of many of the canine race is evidently one of suffering, and that means by which it can bo cut short, and keep other from entering the world to share the same fate, would not only give us more eggs and better mutton, but also would be an act of humanity towards them. I have known cases where men have had more than one dog in a poverty stricken condition, sitting on their tails watching with eagerness their masters as they quietly eat tho meat from and throw them the bone,and yet those same men were desirous of getting more puppies to perish. Such people do not seem to know their true interest, and hence the ne cessity for a law to teach it to them, or make them, while having their whistle, pay for it. In the absence, however, of any law to protect them, I will make a sugges tion to the wool growers of the State, which, perhaps, may be of some interest to a portion of them. It is this: If the dogs cannot be otherwise) caught and punished, it might be a good idea to pen their flocks in some safe place wheu next they are at tacked. Thon see that all the dead sheep are removed except one or two, and let those that are lefe be made suffi ciently palitable, well sprinkled with strychnine and placed where the dogs will meet with but little difficulty m finding them. , . In the absence of the live sheep, it is quite likely the dogs will feast on tne dead ones that have Icon prepared for them, and will soon • thereafter fall to sleep when the flocks will he loft to graze unmolested for a season. Burke* “SA LU S P OPULI BUP R E Ts/L A. I. 33 2C B S T.O . ” WAYNESBORO’, GA., THURSDAY, MAY 22, 1873. State of Affairs iu Louisiana Previous to the Collision In (draut Parish. The Postmaster of Colfax makes the following statement: I am a National Republican, and al ways have been one. I was a member of the Republican Legislature from 1868 to 1872, and was, and am now, a United States postmaster at Colfaxi Grant parish, having supported Gen. Grant and Gov. Kellogg in the last campaign. Previous to this I was a member of the Constitutional Conven tion in 1808. I was quietly pursuing my vocation as postmaster at Colfax, and was told repeatedly, from the sth of April, by the rioters that I should bo killed, and on the 10th of April was oompelled to leave, they stating that they would shoot ino if I stayed, unless I took up arms with them. On the morning of the 10th I went up to receive the mail, and I was met by an armed mob of negroes, who told me to get on my horse and leave, ehe I would be killed. They also threatened the life of my brother and a colored man named Buck McKinney; also Ralph Mkrons. I then left, and came to Alexandria to receive instructions.. I, expected to see a deputy marshal, to perserve peace; but finding none,l was told by Mr. Suris, the mail contractor,to bring the mail here, which I did. I made a requisition on Daniel Shaw, supposed to bo acting sheriff, as follows: To D. W. Shaw, Sheriff Grant Par ish Louisiana —Sir • I demand of you in the name of the State, protection for the postmaster at Colfax, Louisiana, and also to protect Government prop erty. Very respectfully. S. E. Cuny, United States Postmaster. Mr. Shaw sent two Alien, but a col ored man named Leo Allen,came down and said Shaw had no authority to do so, aud that ho was commanding offi cer. I then made a similar requisition on him as commanding officer, in writing, the same as the above. He replied the Government property must take care of itself, that he wanted the men himself, and took them away. This was about the sth of April, and the threats were made after this. My ob ject was to protect the United States Government property, and I remained until my life was threatened. S. E. Cony. United States Postmaster, Colfa*, Grant parish. Executed at Alexandria, Louisiana, Monday, April 27, 1873. Witnesses: llarrik Wilde, A. COCKERILLK, C. T. Hooper, To these statements nothing need be added. They are conclusive as to where the blame rightfully rests.— “Depend upon it,” says a correspondent of the New Orleans Picayune“the white population hero had to meet the issue made by the riotous negroes and give them a severe check, or leave the coun try. Nothing else was left to do.” Now the bad men, both white and Black, who led these negroes into this riotous resistance to the lawful author ity, are the men to be punished severe ly. If their dupes had been white men resisting the authority of Republican offioials, they would have been arrested long since and been in the penitentiary before now. Here we have a specimen of Republican justice toward the South ern people. A Piteous Spectacle. —The Health Department reports finding at 37 Essex Street to day, Mrs. Cassidy in bed dead, from small-pox. An infant was beside the body crying pitiously from hunger, while on the floor, in a drunken stupor, lay tho husband and father.— Dispatch from New York, [From the Hearth end Home ] A Very He markable Story. There lived in Brooklyn, not Ion? ago, a man possed of a devil. He had inherited the devil from his father, in the first place, and had nursed it until it grew so strong it took the entire pos session of him. The devil was a very familiar one, and its namo was Rum.-- The man had many noble instincts,and, better than all these, he had a loving, faithful and brave wife, who made skil ful war upou the demon, her husband’s master. Recognizing the fact that her husband was under an overpowering impulse, that he longed and struggled manfully to free himself from the pas sion of drink, she bent all the euergies of her woman-nature to the task of helping him. She loved, and suffered, and toiled, until at last the loving, and suffering, and toiling accomplished their purpose. She took her husband by the hand and shared with him all of his struggles,until after a year of labor, she overcame his devil, and saw him a free man again. Iler battle with Rum had a fierce one, taxing and wast ing her strength sorely, but she was conqueror at last. Her husband stood upon manly feet, atid showed no signs of falling again. Several years passed away, and this reformed man fell ill of consumption. The distinguished physician, from whose lips we have .the story,prescribed alcoholic stimulants as the only means possible of prolonging his life. The poor wife was in terror, and begged the physician to recall the prescription. She told him of her long straggle and vic tory, and said she preferred that her husband should die then, a sober man, than he should fill a drunkards grave a yoar. later. But the freed spirit of the man was strong, and he undertook to take alcoholic liquors as a medicine,and to confine himself absolutely to such times and measures in the matter as the physician should prescribe. This he did, and during the months thus ad ded to his life, be never once drank a drop more than the prescription called for, and he died at last a sober manias the wife had so earnestly prayed that he might. But the end was not yet.— When the loving and patient woman laid him in his grave, and saw her long labor thus euded in the victory ior which she had toiled so hard aud suf fered so bitterly, she turned in grief to the brandy which had beeu left in the house, and drinking it, she fell herself into the power of the devil which she had fought so heroically. And that woman died, not many months later, a hopeless, helpless drunkard. A Boston Preacher's Compliments to Ben Butler.— Louisville , May 6. The following card appears in the Cowr ier-Journaho-morrovi from Rev. Jas,Free man Clarke, of Boston: A little paragraph is going the rounds, saying that I proposed B. F. Butler as Governor of Massachusetts. I have only once referred to him, and that was in a sermon preached in Boston on fast day on of Massachu getts, in which I spoko of the disgraig which came upon Massachusetts from her treatment of Summer, the connec tion of her members of Congress with the Credit Mobilier scandal and their complicity witlf the salary grab. I then added that it was understood that the member from Massachusetts headed that foray on the Treasury, and announced his intention of being tho next Govern or of Massachusetts. If ho succeeded in this I said I hoped he would omit the word “humiliation” in his proclama tion, for certainly Massachusetts would never he more humiliated than by such an event. His friends regard this as a nomination. They are welcome to it. I ask that this statement be copied. Jas. Freeman Clarke. .— • ♦- A fool and bis money are soon parted. Wearing: the Ermine—Modern Federalists- Ekskink, with his infamous jury or der, might properly appear in the cata logue of the following distinguished Federal Jurists, who will leave a wake of infamy that will be noticeable long after they have passed by. The Wil mington, N. C., Journal says: . There is a nice lot of people on the bench of the United States Courts just now. From the North and from the South, from the East and from the far West, eome the cries of the people against the men into whose bar.-.ls has been committed the administration ot the laws iu our Federal Courts. If the people themselves be not corrupt the word Federal will ere long become a stench in their nostrils. Federal Judge Hugh L. Bond stands first alphabetically, at least, on the list of those to whom we shall refer this morning. Of him it was publicly de clared ou the floor of the United States Senate that it would be preferable for an innocent man to run the gauntlet of the bullets- of a squadron of cavalry rather than to be tried before his court. Next in order comes Federal Judge Delflhay, of Kansas, who was formally impeached by the late United States House of Representatives for incapacity because of drunkenoss. He bad the habit sometimes of preferring the gutter to the bench. In extenuation of bis conduct it was urged, we believed, and without contradiction, that ho had never stolen anything 1 Federal Judge Durell, of Louisiana, is next upon the list of judicial worthies. This man is the pliant tool who inaugu rated the difficulties that have so long afflicted the people of Louisiana. This is the man who, according to the report of the Committee of the United States Senate, organized a Legislature by an order of court, in a suit to perpetuate testimony! He is the man of whom even Radical Senator Morton says his conduct “cannot be justified,” He “grossly exceeded his jurisdiction,"and was guilty “of gross usurpation.” This is the man whose edicts the President supports at tho point ot the bayonet. This man, as well as Delahay and Bond, wears the judicial ermine. Next comes Federal Judge Sherman, of Ohio. This inan belongs to tho bluest of blue Puritan blood. He is a decendant of any number of Shermans of former times. lie is no "poor buckra” or “cracker” or “poor white trash.” He belongs to the top of the pot of the Northern aristocracy. His father was a Judge before him. He is a brother of United States Senator John Sher man, Chairman of Senate Committee on Finance. He is also brother of the Gen. of the armies of the United States, Win. Tccumseh Sherman, who recently issued the infamous order about the utter extermination of a band of sava ges, without regard to guilt or innocence, age of sex. This is tho man who claim ed ten thousands dollars from parties in New York for influencing his brother, the Senator, in behalf of certain legisla tion favorable to them. This is the man that the resolutic"’ proposed in the Bar Asso;,a. u Cleveland, Ohio, call upon to resign, for the reason that he has evinced such a wan t of integrity and such a moral turpitude as to destroy all confidence in his judicial administration and regime, that he should at once resign and relieve the Federal Court from the embarrass moot consequent upon his continued oc cupaucy of the Judgeship. But we must not omit to mention another dis tinguished member of the Sherman fami ly. We refer to Federal General Miles, who. if we mistake not, married a daughter of this eminent judicial lobbyist, Gen. Milos is the hem who put manacles upon Jefferson Davis.

This man who once from the bench took oc casion to make sport and jest of the sufferings President Davis was then un- t dergoing nt Fortress Monroe. th man whose conduct, at a later day, the Supreme Court of the United States declared to be “a blot upon our jurisprudence and civilisation,” and the Supremo Court of Appeals of Virginia declared to bo enough to. shock the moral sense of every honest man. These are the men who administered justice in Federal Courts ! Fellow countrymon, what do you think of them ? [From the New York Sun.] Novel Proceedings in Snath Carolina—The “Equities’' in the . Courts. Legal proceedings of a very unusual character, instituted by well-known bankers of this city, are now in pro gress in the Supreme Court of South Carolina. On April 30, Messrs. Mor ton, Bliss & Cos. filed a petition pray ing for a writ of mandamus to issue against the Comptroller of South Caro lina, commanding him to obey a levy of a tax, to pay interest of certain bonds held by the petitioners. The Court granted an order requiring tho Comp troller to make a return there to-day. There aro five classos of bonds embrac ed in the petition, uone of which were issued before 1868. In regard to the old debt of the State—that incurred before the negroes and carpet-baggers came into power—there has never been any question so far as its validity is concerned, though the corrupt State Government has been too busily en gaged in stealing to make provision for the payment of cither principal or in terest. Of the bonds issued since 1868, however, there is a large portion that the citizens of South Carolina say were fraudulently put forth without authori ty of law in defiance of constitutional restrictions, and as they contend, these bonds are worthless. The public debt of South Carolina, according lo the report of tho late Treasurer, Parker, is about $16,000,- 000, though it is very likely that it will be found to greatly exceed that sum, as the thieves who have been in power there have scattered the State obligations to pay money in all directions with tho utmost recklessness. Of this amount about $4,000,000 was authorized by acts passed prior to 1868. Of the re mainder about $7,000,000 of bonds were designed to be exchanged for out standing bonds and stocks; but .nearly all of this issue, instead of being U9ed according to Jaw, wero sold or hypothe cated ; while many of the old bonds which really were exchanged for the conversion bonds, instead of being can celled were illegally re-issued! Pro bably $7,000,000 of the public debt of South Carolina is fraudulent, and the questions now to be settled are whe ther innooent foreign holders shall , suffer from the knavery of State officers and also whether private individuals have the power to obtain relief through tbs courts against a State Government. ‘ Some exceedingly interesting legal r questions are involved in this case.. The Charleston Chamber of Commerce have retained the Hon. W. D. Porter and the Hon. C. G. Memminger to repre nt the tax-payers and a lively fight may be expected over the points at issue. Morton, Bliss & Cos., have re tained upon their side ex-Attorney Gen. Chamberlain, who is the law part ner of the present Attorney General of the state. There is a rumor in Colum bia that the suit of Morton Bliss & C*. is favored by some of the most promi nent State officials, aud that these men have recently invested largely in State bonds in the belief that the desired ac tion would be taken by the court. The action taken by tbo Charleston Chamber of Commerce in securing private coun sel to oppose the petitioners’ request may, however,interfere with the accom plishment of theso expectations. It is probable that tho legal proceedings in this suit, whatever course they take, will lead to some very interesting de velopments in relation to the financial operations of th State authorities.
