The Augusta Chronicle and Sentinel
says there are but two‘ways by which the
capital can be removed from Atlanta back
to Milledgeville. One is by a two thirds
■vote of two successive Legislatures, the
other by a two Constitutional Conven
tion. It says that if the question is ever
submitted to a square vote of the people
the removal will be carried.
It also hopes that the report that Grant
-will soon appoint Gen. Me Laws Marshal
•of the State of Georgia, may prove cor
rect :
*Tu the first place, the appointee was a
gallant soldier in the Confederate army,
and in the second place, he has been and
is a staunch and prbubunced Democrat—
two qualifications not usually possessed by
Federal officials. His political sentiments
are well known to the President, and his
appointment, if he obtains it, will be due
solely to his merits and the personal rela
tions existing between himself aud the
President.”
The drawing of the Confederate Memo
rial Association came off in Augusta last
Monday at 12 o'clock. Says the Chroni
.cle:
“Notwithstanding the earnest and zeal
ous efforts of the managers, together with
••the perseverance and laborous exertions
-of Col. James M. Smythe, general agent,
da behalf of the noble purpose contem
iplated in the scheme, candor compels us
ito write it down a failure, in so far as it
secured the encouragement anticipated.
About “1,500 tickets were sold, leaving
rthe managers only about $2,500 for distri
tbutution in prizes, after deducting fund
{ten per cent.) for the monument and nec
essary expeuses, a full showing of which
will be made as soon hereaftar as practi
cubic.
The $2,500 were divided into SIOO,
SSO, S2O, sls, $lO and $5 prizes—aggre
gating one hundred and eighty-three prizes
.—four $100; four of SSO; fifty of sls;
rten of S2O ; and forty of $5.”
The highest prize drawn was SIOO by
A. E. Clarke, of Augusta.
A little boy twenty months old, son of A.
G. Howard, was run over by a street car
in Augusta on Monday. Both of legs
of the poor little fellow were broken.
The real estate of the city of Augusta is
valued by the Assessors at $10,256,975.
The tax is 1 1-8 per cent.

Says the Milledgeville Recorder:
Judge Warner Sustained—Law and
-JusiracE Again Restored to Georgia.—
{From dispatches from Washington we
{learn that the Supreme Court of the Uni
ted States has declared the Relief and the
Homestead laws of Georgia unconstitu
tional, so far as they relate to debts con
tracted before the passage of the laws.
This decision of the Supreme Court of the
{United States sustains the minority deci
sions of Judge Warner on the laws. It
also removes the principal objection to a
Cowefcitutiona] Convention in Georgia.
Many objected to the Convention for fear
these two Ordinances would be left out of
the new Constitution ; but as they have
been disposed of by the Supreme Court of
the United States, that objection no longer
exists.
From the Columbus Enquirer;
New Fbeight Direction. —Between
April sth and 7th sixty car loads of corn
from Louisville and Nashville via the
South and North and Alabama Western
loads passed through this city en route
for Macon, Ga. We suppose this defec
tion was caused by the blockade at Chat
- tanoojfft and the unsafe and unsettled
condition of the Western and Atlantic
Bailroad. Whatever the cause it has
given a little animation to railroading
hereabouts, and indicates pretty clearly
that Georgia is about out of corn thus
early in the season.
From the Monroe Advertiser
It has been currently reported that the
meningitis and measles are raging in For
syth. How the report originated we hare
been unable to ascertain, but it is certainly
without foundation. We have diligently
inquired into the matter, and have found
no cause for the rumor. Upon the au
thority of our local physicians, we em
phatically pronounce the report false.
WILD CAT DISTILLKRIES.
REVENUE OFFICERS IS TESSESBEE AND
ALABAMA MOVE SIMULTANEOUSLY
UPON THEIR WORKS.
Pursuant to instructions from Col. K. li.
Cobb, Supervisor of this District, the In
ternal Bevenue officers in the Fourth Dis
trict of Tennessee and Third District of
Alabama, organized themselves into ridd
ing parties on the 20th and 24th of last
month, and proceeded to the regions in
those districts which have for so long been
infested with illicit distilleries, and suc
ceeded in finding a great deal of fraud
upon the revenue, which was promptly
suppressed. Assessor W. C. Bryant of the
Fourth District of Tennessee with hk trusty
assistants Wm. Nicks aud J. H. Morris,
United States Gaugers Barnes, Hammond,
Joe Bryant and A. G. Nicks, and quite a
number of other Bevenue officers and
Deputy United States Marshals, started
from Mulbery Village Lincoln county,
on the 24th of March, and were ten days in
the saddle, riding over three hundred miles
over a territory twenty-five miles long and
fifteen wide. They captured twenty pris
oners, who were bound over to appear at
the April term of tnc United States Court
at Nashville. Some are to appear as wit
nesses only, while the greater portion of
them are charged with illicit distilling.
Assessor Bryant's party destroyed in all 25
illicit distilleries, 85T tubs and 5 vats con
taining 53.400 gallons of beer, 500 gallons
singlings, 200 bushels meal and malt, and
000 gallons of whisky, and shipped 60 head
of hogs and 7 barrels of whisky to United
State Marshal Spence, at Murfreesboro.
The officer of the Fourth District count
this the severest stroke that the illicit dis
tillers of that dsstrict have yet received.
Many of the parties arrested were old
offenders, for whom warrants had been out
a long time, but owing to the desperate
character of some of the men, their arrest
has been difficult.
Just previous to the starting out of the
above mentioned party, Collector Ephraim
Latham, Third District of Alabama, start
ed a party of revenue officers from Hunts
ville, Ala., and the following is the result
of their work : Destroyed 8 copper stills,
11 worms, 1 cooler.” 300 tubs, 110 gal
lons singlings, 10,623 gallons beer, 20 tubs
of mash, and made 10 arrests. —Nashville
Banner.
The chief steward and another man who
threw his arm around the steward’s neck,
when coming ashore on the rope, were
drowned at my feet. The reason I could
not render assistance in this case was that
two old men went away with a man I had
rescued, as they feared he would perish ;
therefore there was no one present to haul
me ashore if I had jumped off the rocks
after them.
