Bent on a Small Fuss.
The writer hereof entered on Grand Jury
service on or about the 1st day of November, in
the year of onr Lord 1869, and continued there
ml til the last day of March 1870, say five
months off and on. In abont three weeks after
he hnd got ont of court, the following delicate
intimation was dropped to his address. Geor
gia, Bibb county. Yon are hereby personally
required, leaving all business aside, to be and
appear at the next Superior Court, to be held
in and for said county, on the third Monday in
May next, to servo as a petit juror. Hereof
failnotnnderapenalty of forty dollars. Thatcalls
for three months more service.nnd we are sorry
to say that we are not alone in this distressing
predicament; bnt there are others of whom it
is proposed to demand eight months of jury ser
vice in a single year. A little reflection will
satisfy anybody that this will not begin to do.
A man may be as willing as possible to work for
nothing for the public and find himself, bnt still
some little time is dne his business and he is
obliged to earn bread for his children. The plea
is that everybody who onght to do jury duty is
running after an engine or n book and ladder;
bnt them are plenty who do neither and yet are
not called on for jury duty. If any information
is wanted we will famish names. We appeal
to tho Coart to hunt np these names and relieve
those of whom sneh enormous demands are
made.
The Cincinnati .Southern Railroad.
The Legislature of Kentucky having denied
right of way to the Cincinnati and Chattanooga
Bailroad, Senator Sherman, of Ohio, has in
troduced in the United States Senate a bill to
incorporate and charter the Cincinnati and
Ghattnnooga Bailroad Company. Several of the
corporators, however, under the Ferguson bill,
have telegraphed Mr. Sherman to drop their
names, as this movement in Congress is without
their sanction.
Congress has no constitutional power what
ever to grant such an act of incorporation, but
donbtless they will manufacture the power and
enforce it, and the Kentucky Legislature will
take nothing by ill-conditioned and ill-advised
attempt to shot ont their State from the benefits
of a great highway North or South, for fear it
may take some trade which would otherwise go
to the Louisville and Nashville Bailroad. The
narrow-minded action of the Louisville interest
in this matter will only do it harm.
Mon Law and Violence in- CoNNEcnctn—Bbu-
TAL Fighting, etc —Hartford, Ct., March 21.—
At Tamff ville on Saturday some laborers on the
Connecticut Western Bailroad nndertook to
mob the saloon of Joseph Forsyth, breaking in
the door windows, and firing a pistol-shot in the
building, the ball passing near Forsyth's head.
Forsyth fired into the crowd with a double-
barrelled gun loaded with buckshot, shooting
one man through tho lungs and breaking the
arm of another. He surrendered himself to the
authorities. Ono of the wounded men will
probably die.
A brutal fight took place in the house of a
negro named P. St. John, in Pleasant Valley,
etn Saturday, which resulted in the killing of a
negro named Freeman, of Sheffield, by Ed. Dol
phin, of Winstead, and serionsly wounding Dol
phin's wife, and St. John Dolphin was arrested.

Butler is at his pranks again, seizing the
books of a private company for evidence to
convict somobody of corruption. Let him seize
the archives of the Hotise, and, if rumor is
right, he will find enough on record in the re
ports of committees to convict him of a good
deal more than corruption.

Macon County Presentment*.
The Grand Jury chosen and sworn for the
March Term, 1870, of the Superior Court of
Macon county,, make the following present
ments :
We find the Court-house in tolerable oondi
tion, needing some repairs in the way of ligh\
and enlargement of the Clerk and Ordinary’s
offices, which can be easily done.
We recommend and advise the Ordinaryto
levy a sufficient tax to build a good substantial
jaii, and that the same be built upon the grounds
connected with' the Court-house square. And
we recommend and advise the Ordinary to ap
point five commissioners—discreet' business
men—to superintend the building thereof, and
that the jail be constructed npon the safest and
best plan, and of the best material the finances
of the county will permit, to make it a safe de
pository for criminals. We believe it to be to
the beat interest of the county that the jail be
bnilt as early as possible.
We find the roads and bridges, generally, in
a passable condition, bnt nearly all the bridges
are needing some repairs, and we call the atten
tion of the proper authorities to the same.
We recommend that a bridge be built across.
Beaver Creek at the Haugabook crossing. Also
a bridge over Little-White Water*Creek at Hil
liard Dixon’s. Also a small bridge on the north
side of Big-White Water, on the road leading
from Oglethorpe to Lanier. We call tho special
attention of tho commissioners to'this road, and
that they have the same put in better condition.
The Boad Commissions throughoutlhe connty
are earnestly requested to enforce thelaw3gainst
all parties who obstruct the roads with rails and
brash, or otherwise while reparing fences, and
cause said parties to remove the obstructions
without delay. The commissioners of the roads
leading by Bozeman’s, Underwood’s and Cook
mills, are required to have the crossing at said
mills put in good condition.
We have carefully examined the report and
recommendation of the commissioners of the
poor, bnt cannot approve the building of a
poor-house at this time. We find a large num
ber of participants in the pauper fund, and we
think it liable to abuse under the system of al
lowing all to partipate in the fund who may or
can bring certificates that they are proper bene-
ficaries.
We have examined, revised and struck from
the list a number of those who have heretofore
participated in this fund. And we recommend
tho commissioners not to reinstate them, or any
others, unless upon the affidavit of persons
whose names are on the jury list, or npon the
recommendation of some grand jury. _
The commi88soner, Mr. A. H. Green is entitled
to the thanks of the people for his patient dis
tribution of the pauper fund, and we think him
evidently entitled to proper compensation for
his services.
In consequence of the heavy taxes necessary
to be levied for State and connty purposes, we
recommend that no tax be levied for education
al purposes.
We find, on examination, the records of the
Clerk of the Superior Court to be kept in a neat
and correct manner, reflecting much credit npon
that officer.
In consequence of the sickness of the Treas
ure and his inability to attend this court, and at
his request, we have appointed W. H. Willis, N.
T. Skinner, 0. B. Keen and A. H. Green, a.
committee to examine the Treasurer's books,ac
counts and vouchers, in connection with the
books and accounts of the Ordinary’s office, and
that the report of this committee be spread npon
the minutes of the Court as a part of these pre
sentments.
In closing the labors of the present term it
affords ns great pleasure to renew an expression
of appreciation for the ability, dignity and im
partial administration of tho law by his Honor,
Judgo C. B. Cole.
Wo also tender onr thanks to the Solicitor
General, Col. E. W. Crocker, for his polite at
tention to this body.

The Fiegau Massacre.
In a letter to Gen. Sheridan, dated the 24 th,
Gen. Sherman says:
It is of course to be supposed that some of
our people prefer to believe the story of the
Piegan massacre, as tramped up by interested
parties at Benton, more than one hundred miles
off, rather than the official report of Col. Baker,
who was on the spot and is the responsible par
ty. I prefer to believe that the majority killed
at Mountain Chief's camp were warriors; that
the firing ceased the moment that resistance
was at an end; that quarter was given to all
who asned for it, and.that one hundred women
and children were allowed to go free to join tho
other bands of the same tribe known to bo
camped near by, rather than the absurd report
that there were only thirteen warriors killed,
and that all the rest were women and children,
more or less afflicted with small-pox. The In
dians on the Beservations are exclusively under
the protection of the Indian Bureau, but the
Bureau officers had officially notified the De
partment of their inability to restrain theso very
Piegan Indians, and had called on you to pun
ish them for their repeated and unceasing rob
beries and murders; you had, as early as lost
October, laid down the plan for a winter sur
prise and attack, which plan was immediately
sent to the Indian Bureau, eliciting no remon
strances, so that there is no question at all nf
responsibility, save and except only as to wheth
er Col. Baker wantonly and cruelly killed
women and children unresisting, and this I never
believed.
This does not satisfy the New York Tribune,
and ho calls for investigation. Sherman apolo
gizing for Sheridan is particularly appropriate,
and he varnishes the business over as plansibly
as they did tho Shenandoah and Columbia van
dalisms.
Hotel on Wheel*.
The Courier. Journal describes the “Algoma,”
a new hotel car, recently to that city, and which
must be really splendid, and a novelty to boot.
It belongs to the Pullman company, “is fifty-
five feet long and ten feet wide, and has room
to accommodate from twenty to twenty.five per.
sons comfortably. It is mounted on twelve
wheels and painted externally in wine color and
gilt, and cost, with the outfit, $22,000. The
manner in which this hotel is operated is in this
wise : A party of twenty or twenty-five persons,
say at Louisville, secures one of tho Pullman
express hotel cars for a trip to New Orleans or
San Francisco, at a cost of $85 a day for the
trip, or at the rate of four dollars a day for each
passenger. With the car is a steward, to pro
cure supplies and transportation along the route,
and a cook and two waiters, whose pay is incln-
ded in the rates above mentioned. The hotel is
attached to the best train on tho road, and de
tached whenever the party desiro to switch on
another road, to remain in a city a day or two,
or to visit any locality of interest along the ronte.
Wherever a party may go on a railroad, it has
its hotel with it.”
It will go from Louisville to New Orleans,and
return thence to New York by the way of Mo
bile, Selma, Atlanta, Macon, Augusta, Wilming
ton, eto.
One of Mark Twain’s farmers bought some
Bartlett pear trees, and the next season ho

Brunswick, Ga., March 26, 1870.
Editor Morning Hexes :
Being one of the late foremen on the Bruns
wick and Albany railroad, and having been held
up to the public as a would be murderer, I de
sire to place before you the following facts:
In 1861 J. Edwin Conant was assistant Treas
urer of the Florida railroad, and myself also in
the employ of the same company. At this time
the troubles between the two sections were jnat
assuming an alarming state. I and the other
employes being all Southern men, Mr. Co
nant being a Northern maD, and having
rendered himself obnoxious to the community,
the Vigilance Committee desired to lynch him.
I and the balanoe of the employes of the railroad
formed ourselves into a company for the protec
tion of said Conant, and his life was preserved
by ns, and he pat on board a vessel abont sail
ing for New York.’ Do you suppose, Mr. Edi
tor, that we, the foremen and laborers, number
ing over one hundred men, and all of us de-

Letter on the manner of Hl» Death, from
Dr. Hnntbr McGuire.
From ike Old Dominion, for March. |
Richmond, Va., March 7, 1870.
Editors oi Old Dominion : I have just re
ceived your letter asking me to give you some
information in regard to the last wonnd of Gen.
Jackson, that yon may correct the statement
published in some Northern magazines by Gen.
De Peyser and CoL Clifford Thomson. The
former, you say, claims that Gen. Jackson was
shot by the First Massachusetts Infantry, and
the latter that he was killed by a canister* shot
from Pleasanton’s artillery.
You will find an accurate account of the Gen
eral’s last wound and death in Dabney’s “Life
of Jackson,” or in the account I wrote and pub
lished several years ago.
The faots are briefly these:
General Jackson made the attack May 2d,
with his army in three lines of battle. Bhodes,
division occupied the front line, Colston’s divi
sion the second line, and Hill, with a part of
lay down our tools and abandon our work for
the sake of one man ? It is true that we were
attached to Mr. Babcock, for justice and impar
tially marked bis every action. No, it was from
the unprincipled rales and regulations attempt
ed to be forced upon us by this man Hulbert.—
Information from all sides poured in upon us in
regard to his character, as no one ever employed
by him speaks of him save with the utmost con
tempt We did suppose that Mr. Conant was at
the head of the concern, and that he would lis
ten and correct the abuses that had been heaped
npon ns; bnt alas! we found him as deeply
concerned in the Opera House swindle as the
rest, and thathe would willingly sacrifice us to
this and other diabolical shemes.
We contend that we are as good citizens of
Georgia as can be found, and thus to bo held
up to the world as a set of murderers is false,
and only an excuse to hide their wicked plot
Wo never threatened them in any way; we
held and do hold the firm of Halbert, Avery &
Conant in supreme contempt As we all worked
from October to February, and received our
pay in store tickets, due bills and thirty days’
drafts, will you inform us where the “millions
of Northern money" has gone ? or, indeed, is
it Northern capital or funds derived from the
sale of the Opera House? We know that W.
L. Avery spent a large snm in getting hia wash
ing done, eto., while the poor laborers got none.
As all intercourse between the above firm and
your humble servant is at an end, in the event
you should learn, will you\be so kind as to give
the desired information.
Very respectfully, yours,
G. A. M. Baines.
We, the other foremen, desire to add onr tes
timony to the effect that in no way, manner or
shape, did either Mr. Babcock, Capt. Finney,
or any other citizen of Brunswick, counsel or
advise with ns, or were knowing to our actions
—they had no interest in it. We were simply
demanding the rights that belong to every free
born man—the expulsion of a fungus. Little
did we dream of the horrible plot that bad been
concocted to make U3 the catspaw that would
enable Avery, Conant and Halbert to insult
every native bom Georgian; and we further
state that bad Hulbert never come on tho road
that the fifty miles would have been completed
at least one week earlier than they were. We
were impelled to make this statement from see
ing the knowingly false and wicked statement
in the Atlanta Constitution, of thnt miserable
carpet-bagger, that vile specimen of humanity
called “Vulgar Spaulding.”

Extraordinary Phenomenon—Disap
pearance oi* Wharves anil Ferry*
landings—Subterranean Clmuges.
From the St. John (AT. D.) Telegraph, March. 18.
Yesterday morning, just before the com
mencement of the snow storm, and as the wind
was rising so as to be heard within doors, a
strange, noise, similar to that accompanying the
earthquake on the morning of the 22.1 of Octo
ber last, was heard by the residents of the lower
end of Protection street, Carleton. The storms
of last fall, and those of the winter, have made
great havoc in that vicinity, and not only has
tho breakwater been carried away, and build
ings removed from their foundations, but the
sea has washed away land, and encroached so
much upon property a3 to make the residents
of the neighborhood display more than usual
interest in each approaching gale.
The noise referred to, as its rambling ceased,
ronsed many from their beds, who, on going
down to the harbor, found that a startling
change had taken place in the appearance of
the land and wharves. The tide was nearly
down, and though it was quite dark, it could be
seen that the old ferry landing which should be
several feet above water, had vanished. Messrs.
Littlehale & Coram’s wharf, better known as
Coram’s Wharf, had nearly disappeared. It had
been piled with deals, which belonged to Messrs.
Scam melt Bros.', and that part of the wharf where
on the deals were did not break down, as though
tho bottom on which it rested had been washed
out, as at first supposed, but a piece abont 20x
70 feet broke off and settled squarely down into
tho water, and tho whole mass, with the top of
the wharf beneath and tho deals remaining
upon it, floated away into the harbor, where it
was picked up yesterday by Mr. James Stack-
house and his men.
A frontage several hundred feet in extent,
running from the line of the demolished wharf
towards the breakwater, has gone down, leaving
a steep embankment sloping towards the har
bor. About midway along this new embank
ment, and less than one hundred feet from it, in
to the harbor, is the place where the old ferry
landing was. Ou this spot soundings were made
by Mr. Joseph O'Brien, Mr. Clark and others
last evening, and where the old ballast or reef
was the day before, rising above the water eight
feet They found six fathoms of water, showing
that even so near the shore as that the bottom
had settled just thirty-two feet Near where
the portion of tho wharf settled away, or where
a moderately sized vessel used to ground at low
water, there is now between six and seven fath
oms at low tide. One of Messrs. Adam's buoys,
moored about four or five hundred feet from
the shore, had disappeared, and last evening,
when the tide was at its lowest level, the cur
rent was just showing a ripple over the top of
it. As the tides rise and full about thirty feet
in St. John harbor, and the chain of this buoy
had several fathoms of soope, it may be inferred
that the bottom sank as much as nine or ten
fathoms at this point.
So far as could be ascertained yesterday, after
the blinding snow storm subsided,it was thought
that at the surface of the harbor bed a portion
extending over an area of, perhaps, three acres,
had been affected. It would not be surprising
if, with the swift current of the harbor, tho
break-wator on tho east side would become af
fected in time. There will also be a falling
away of additional portions of Sand Point for
somo time to come. It was thought before
souudings were made, and the falling tide re
vealed the extent of the changes made, that the
“slide” was cahsed by the shifting of sand
which had washed over the bar, but that theory
is now exploded, and the fact fnlly established
that the phenomenon was caused by some sub
terranean action boneath the spot affected so
materially.
Tlie Administration Airaitl to go to
the Country Upon a Contraction
Policy.
The New York Times says that the reports
from Washington strengthen the impression
that neither the greenback circulation nor the
national banking system will bo finally dis
turbed by the Funding Bill. It it should pass
Congress at all, it will be in a shape to meet
the Executive approval, and that could not be
under any provision to contract the greenbacks
or to treat with harshness or injustice the na
tional banks. The President is understood to
favor simply a refunding bill, by which new
stocks, bearing from five down to four per
cent, interest, shall be gradually substituted,
as the market affords the opportunity, for tho
five-twenty six per cent, stocks, and for no
other object At all events it is reasonably,
certain that the Administration will not go to
the country next fall, in the Congressional clec-
tjon, ujion the contraction of the greenback
circulation, or upon any issue with the national
b:
banka. If tho banks should be required to
third line. Daring the attack and rapid pursuit
of the enemy, Rhodes’ and Colston’s divisions
becamo commingled and moved in one confused
mass. Bhodes, finding how disordered tho
troops were, asked Jackson to send Hill forward
to take the advance, and permit the first and
second lines to be reformed. While this was
beiDg done, Jackson, accompanied by some
officers and couriers, rode forward to reeonnoi-
ter. He advanced as far as the Federal pick
ets, and then turned to come back to his own
line, when his party, mistaken for Federal cav
alry, were fired into by the Confederate line of
battle. The fire was probably from troops who
had just been plaoed in position, and who did
not know that Jackson and hia party were in
front of them. Ithink this was the General’s im
pression in speaking of it afterwards. Several of
his party were killed and wounded by this fire,
bnt tho General escaped, and turning to his
left entered tha forest and continued to approach
his own line. When within thirty or forty yards
of it a second volley was fired, which wounded
him in three places. One of the wounds was in
the right hand, the other two in his left arm.
The ball causing the first wound lodged under
the skin npon the back of Ms band. It was a
round ball, such as was used for the smooth-bore
Springfield musket. The wounds in his left arm
were believed to have been made by the same
kind of bullets. The Confederate troops who
fired the volleys at the General and his escoVt
were armed with smooth-bore muskets.
I will add that Gen. Jackson did not die from
these wounds. His death was the result of
pneumonia, and occurred eight days after the
wounds were received.

Exciting Encounter with a Whale in
Provincetown Harbor.—A Provincetown
correspondent of the Yarmouth .Register
writes: ■ ■
Two “right’’ whales were discovered in the
harbor about three o’clock Monday afternoon
last The cry of “there she blows!” was soon
repeated along shore, directly followed by
hasty mantling of whale boats, and hurrying
into them the weapons and gear for chase and
capture. Some half dozen boats, equipped
and manned with six men each, soon started
in pursuit After a chase of about three quar
ters of an hour, the whales the while deftly
eluding their pursuers, by soundings and ir
regular spoutings, a boat steered by Mr. Geo.
Smith and “headed" by Mr. Archibald Mc
Curdy, both experienced whalemen, was run
upon the broadside of one of them, and Me
Curdy, to use his phrase, “sent his iron home
to the seizing into her bilge.”
The scene now become exciting to the ac
tors, and hundreds of spectators who were
witnessing the proceedings from the town.—
The wind at the time was blowing a stiff
gale from the North, and so cold that
the spray froze as it flew. The whale
ran sharply now to the windward, now to
leeward, then following tho shoal water back
and forth along the Wist end of the harbor, the
loose whale all the time keeping close corn-
pay with his wounded mate, and the sea and
spray enveloping the crew, and at times al
most obscuring the, boat from view. The en
raged whale in her frantic career poised upon
her nose, and elevating her flukes twenty feet
above water, would again and again strike
fearfully for her invisible foe. Every attempt
to haul up aud lance was met by her flakes
jii't clear of tho boat. Thus the contest con
tinued without much change of manreuvre or
advantage gained by either antagonist, until
about half j—.t five P. M., when the whale
succeeded in delivering the boat a slight blow
with her tail, knocking off the head of the
stern post, breaking the st oring oar into sev
eral pieces, and filling her to the thwarts with
water. Another boat near at hand took her
tow-line, but after a short time, the whale
still fighting and preventing any near ap
proach, and night setting in, the harpooner
reluctantly cut tho line and let her go. Her
wound is thought to be mortal, as she bled
profusely, and it is eaaected she may be pick
ed up in a few days iwthe bay.
The crew of the crippled boat on reaching
the shore were completely encased in ice, en
veloping even the head of Mr. Smith, who
had lost his hat Several of the other crews
were badly irost-bitten. .

Down with the Taxes.
Republican j mmiisall over the country are
^beginning to talk very plainly to the authori
ties on the importance and necessity of reduc
ing taxes at once. The Boston Transcript
says: “The people of the United States will
not much longer endure with patience the
present excessive rate of taxation. It is not to
be supposed that the people of the loyal North
will abandon the great party of freedom for
the communion of the friends of treason, but
if heed is not given, the tide of public opinion,
now steadily rising, will gain in volume and
force until it sweep* to oblivion the men who
would resist it. •
“Let Congress then, at once, reduce not
only the direct, bur the indirect, taxes; abolish
the income tax, only endurable as a war meas
ure ; lessen the customs duties on the necessa
ries of life, and, abandoning wild schemes tor
doing in a few years the work belonging to
many, provide for the pre-ent welfare and the
future prosperity of the nation.”
And the Times declares with equal empha
sis this morning: “The procrastination to
which this great subject is being sacrificed will
imperil the every existence of the Republican
party, if the leaders are not very careful. We
believe we shall go before the country under
very unpromising circumstances if wo cannot
succeed in getting the taxes reduced before
the next elections. Tho people will not al
ways submit to be ‘put off’ like children.—
They will have relief from taxation, if not
from one party, from another. Four months
have been frittered away already. Is not this
not enough to satisfy the greatest admirers of
a Fabian policy? We can only once more
warn Congress that further delays may exas
perate tho people in a way which no one need
be anxious to witness.”
President Grant, Secretary Boutwell, and
Congress cannot afford to disregard such ex-
pres-ions of opinion as the above. They re
flect tho people’s views, and if the latter can
not make known their wishes through the
public press, they will unmistakably do so at
tho polls.
