The South Carolina Ku-Klux.—The hew
York Herald has sent ont a commissioner to in
quire into affairs in Sonib Carolina, and his
first letter will bo found in onr edition to-day.
Wo take leave to commend it to the particular
attention of the reader. It is the statement of
a party, who if prejudiced at all, is bo against
and not in favor of the peopleof South Carolina.
Well may he claim, that his revelations will
excite surprise.
New Political Move is Poston.—The Bos
ton Advertiser comes out in an editorial mani
festo, which is charged by the Herald to'Bave
been prepared under the supervision of Senator
Sumner and Secretary Boutwell, proposing to
prevent a schism in the Radical parly by re
moving all pretext for it. The plan is to fall
back on the original idea of the Constitution—
and nominate trusty men as electoral candi
dates, unpledged to any particular presidential
candidate—leaving them at full liberty to fol
low their own discretion in casting their votes
in the electoral colleges. The Herald says the
Advertiser is striking out in the right direction,
and will be sustained by “an awakening public
sentiment.”
Senatob Sumner recently addressed a letter
to a convention of negroes in Columbia, S. O., in
which he conjures them, by every consideration
of respect for their own race, to insist on a
common occupancy of all public conveyances
and accommodations with the whites. He says
as good will not meot the case, because that
recognizes the damnable distinction on account
of color. They must occupy the samo hotels,
tables, steamboat cabins, railway cars, and the
same seats in churches, public halls and thea
tres. and tho same accommodations at the pub
lic baths, etc. They must, show, in a word,
that the negro i3 just the samo as the white
' man, only a little improved, and this must bo
the grand Kadical platform in 1872.^
Governor Bullock on m3 Travels.—A
Washington dispatch of the 3Cth nit., in the
New York Sun, soys: Before preceding to New
York, Governor Bullock tarried in this city
long enough to intimate to a distinguished
Pennsylvania Senator that ho was about to wash
his hands of Georgia forever. In the course
of this conversation Bullock said he had re
signed tho Governorship of Georgia and placed
tho same in the hands of tho President of the
State Senate. According to very recent Geor
gia advices, the Governor has not taken this
step unadvisedly. The Legislature there is
already preparing to impeach him, and the
Attorney General has been instructed to insti
tute criminal prosecutions against both Bollock
and Kimball for coining large amounts of State
bonds without authority of law. The connec
tion of this ofiicial with tho late sale of the
State railroad was also being made the subject
of investigation. In consideration of this state
of affairs, it is said the ex Governor is but
exercising a necessary cantion in peremptorily
resigning his high office.
Loyalty in Trade Makes.—Some enterpris
ing boot and shoemakers in Boston have been
refused a patent for a trade mark, consisting cf
likenesses of Goneral Lee and Stonewall Jack-
son impressed npon the leather. The govern
ment was of opinion that these leather likenesses
“tended to encourage disloyalty in the South 1”
It most bo confessed that in this, as in most
Other matters, the Northern brethren display
great practical sagacity. They make “South
ern disloyalty” the grand political hobby npon
which they ride into office and portion ont the
United States Treasury, and then, on the other
hand, they work “Southern disloyalty'’ in the
interests of Southern trade. They make V. pay
both ways. And as to thes’o loather portraits,
they were only one cf a thousand dodges of the
same kind—from n cotton pocket handkerchief
emblazoned with the Confederate flag, to a Bob
Lee regalia—a Stonewall hat or a Dixie churn.
The Boston shoemakers surely failed to '■'come
down” with something required of them, or the
Commissioner of Patents would never have
made the first discovery of “disloyal trade
marks” in their case. Their predecessors were
a legion.
Scott vs. Gbant.—The Cincinnati Enquirer
nominates tho great Pennsj lvanip. Bailway King,
Thomas A. Scott, against Gen. Grant for the
Presidency in 1872. The controversy, it seems,
is to turn on the question of financial ability—
the art of money-getting. The Enquirer thinks
Scott ahead of Grant in that particular; but we
are not so well assured of that fact. Scott con
trols several hnndred millions and pays divi
dends ; but it is whispered that ho borrows
money to do it, while, on the other hand, Gen.
Grant, on a salary of $25,000 a year, has saved
up (so it is said) half a million dollars in two or
three years. In the way of solid profits wo be
lieve Grant is ahead, and it would never do to
put the Democratic parly on that issue alone.
Boss Tweed might possibly show as rapid accu
mulations as Grant, bnt then they charge the
Boss with downright stealing, and plain steal
ing implies no great financial ability. On
the whole, we can’t be clear abont Scott till we
road throngh the Pennsylvania Central ltailroad
reports.
The Epidemic op Fraud Down South.—It
seems (says the New York Herald, of Taesday,)
as if the whole country were being swept by a
oyclone of official frand and corruption. Be
sides the astounding developments in this city,
we find that startling frauds have been discov
ered in relation to tho Tennessee bounty claims,
and that oven one of tho usually high-toned
and honorable communities in Kentucky has
been similarly afflicted, resnlting in the arrest
of the Mayor and many officials. When we take
into consideration the enormous railroad swin
dles in Georgia and Alabama, and the notori
ously corrupt practices of the Louisiana Legis
lature, we may well ask what is becoming of ns
as a civilized nation.
There is no mere “cyclone” of frand in the
South. It has been a steady and uninterrupted
tempest for six years—a chronic simoon,
bleating everything it has touched. Georgia,
Alabama and Louisiana are certainly in no
wors6 case than the Carolina?, Florida, Mis
sissippi and Texas. The whole has been one
dead wasto of extortion and robbery under
loyal pretences.
The Washington Chronicle publishes an as
tounding bit of news. It says the Kn-klnx
Committee feel confident that they will be able
to show that tho enormous debts which have
been saddled on the reconstructed States,
amounting to some $227,000,000 have not been
created by the carpet-baggers, bnt are the re
sult of tho depreciation of Confederate bonds.
The explanation to bo made is this, that the
now governments have been obliged to replace
moneys belonging to the sinking, nniversity
and school funds, which had beon lost throngh
investments in rebel securities.'
As tho New York Snn remarks, this is abont
tho weakest effort to whitewash frand that has
yet been attempted. In the expressive language
of Shakespeare, it is “too thin.”
Cuban advices report that their little revolu
tion is crawling up again.
The Democratic papers charge that Bontweil
stole his financial policy from a poor English
man named Garvin. If chat is so Boutwell
shonld sue the owner for damages.
The great Boosevelt Hospital,the gift of James
H. Boosvelt to New York City, which cost in its
construction more than a million dollars, was
turned over to the city last Wednesday.
Thebe is a heavy law suit pending, which in
volves the entire University property at Chapel
Hill, res 1 and personal. So says the Raleigh
Carolinian.
Why Don’t the Administration Apol
ogize ?
Tho telegrams yesterday informed ns that, in
the haste to declare martial law against the poor
South Carolinians, a careless clerk pnt “Marion
county” instead of “Union county” into the
official proclamation, and nobody ever read the
proclamation over to see it was’as near right as
such a thing conld be. After the doenment had
rnn ten days or a fortnight, tho blander was
discovered, and another proclamation was issued
lifting the military heel off of Marion county
and transferring it to Union, with never a word
of apology for the blunder. The Marion men
are left to pocket the loss and console them
selves a9 best they can.
Now this conduct is worse than of the
drunken sheriff who baDged the wrong man by
mistake. He sent his best apologies to the
widow and children of the unfortunate defunct,
saying he.was drank when he did it, and meant
nothing of the bind. Although, as a measure
of redress, this was far from satisfactory, yet,
it showed at least a disposition to be jast and
kindly. Why did not Grant send 7tis regrets to
the men of Marion county whom be had falsely
stigmatized to the world as in a state of insur
rection, and unworthy the protection of ftvil
law, and the rights and privileges of freemen ?
Why did he not do it? If he was drank, or ab
sent when the proclamation was issued, ordid not
care enough abont the white people of South
Carolina, to be certain whom ho hit with his
military club, he might at least have salved over
the matter with some cheap expression of re
gret for so serious an injustice.
The Northern prints, however, charge at the
facts in this case, that Grant was absent when
both proclamations were issued. He wa3 away
when the first one came out, giving tho people
fee dags to bring in their arms; which was in
the nature of an offal sacrifice to the malig
nant demon of the Ku-klnx law. This prelimi
nary tender of mercy was like reading the riot
act to a mob, before the order to fire npon
them, and was extended in the precise spirit
of a bloody minded functionary who shonld
pronounce the last word of the act and the com
mand "fre” in the same breath. Grant gave fine
days' warning, all of which had expired before
half of the people he addressed could possibly
have seen his proclamation. Then, while he
was still away, came out the second proclama
tion based on the allegation that the people
had not heeded the first one, when they conld
not have seen it or he possibly have known
whether it had been heeded or not. Both of
these bear his signature, and the presumption
raised by the Northern prints is, that ho signed
both at the same time before ho left tho capi
tal on his trip to New England. This is what
some of them charge, and, if trae, it is of a
piece with the whole bnsiness.
Still “Hazy.”
The Washington Republican is still in donbt
abont the Bnllock trick, and says no one ap
pears to know what it means—that is, no one
of its stupid sort For the Now York Post
(Rad.), a paper with its eyes open, appears to
understand all abont it, and the Republican
prints what the Post says, thus contradicting
itself. Says the Post:
“The telegraph reports that Governor B. B.
Bnllock, of Georgia, has resigned. It ad is that
h : s resignation has been anticipated for some
rime. This is not, however, probable; for only
a fe w days ago Governor Bollock declared that he
was not fearful of the result of the impeachment,
which was threatened by the new Legislature.
It is likely that, as the day for the session ap
proached, the evidence against him accumulated
so rapidly that he suddenly conclnded to avoid
the issue with the Legislature by resigning.
Somebody is responsible for a vast amount of
extravagance and corruption in Georgia, and
this act will not weaken the charges made for
many months against tho Governor and his
friends.”
And by the way : From the sneering way in
which the Republican speaks of the great ab-
squatlator—actually calling him “Bnllock”
without any prefix—we judge that he is not very
much considered about Washington, just now,
among the trewly loyl, and that the Present
Taker has dropped him as an orange no longer
capable of being squeezed. Grant has no more
use for a man who can’t give him something,
than a cat has for water. When Bnllock was
splurging at Willard’s, a winter or two ago, and
Blodgett at the National, keeping open house
with free whisky, champagne, and Partagas,
and paying Forney and the Republican man 40
cents a line for editorials urging re-reconstruc
tion for Georgia and a seat in the Senate for
Blodgett, it was his “Excellency, Gov. Bnllock,
of Georgia,” and tho “Hon. Foster Blodgett,
Senator elect from Georgia.” Now, be jabers,
it is plain Bnllock and Blodgett—the latter of
whom this same Republican said, a few
weeks since, wonld bo entirely ont of place
in the Senate, intimating that the peni
tentiary was possibly his proper sphere.—
It all reminds ns of the story of Mr. Dixon, a
colored brother of the barber persuasion, some
where np in Connecticut—New Haven, perhaps
—who said that the first year ho joined the
church he gave $10 as his annual contribution,
and all the brethren greeted him very warmly
as “brother Dixon.” The next year he gave
only $5, and they dropped the brother and
called him “Mr. Dixon.” The next year he
only gave $2 60, and then he was “Dixon,” and
the next year when he gave nothing they cut
him dead, and spoke of him as that “old nigger
Dixon.”
Hon. Clifford Anderson for Governor
Below vra publish a communication signed
Many Citizens,” urging the claims of this
favorite son of Macon, as a suitable candidate
to fill the nnexpired portion of Gov. Bnllook’s
term of office.
Mr. Anderson stands in the front rank among
the legal minds of Georgia, and is eminently
qualified for any office in the gift of the people.
Quite a number of names are mentioned in con
nection with the gubernatorial office. We trust
a fair showing will be allowed them oil in tho
Convention, and then let the word be “close
ranks and double quick” in solid column against
tho enemy.
Georgia cannot—must not, divide at this im
portant juncture. Since the war we have been
enabled to make headway even against Federal
bayonets, a corrupt Executive, a Radical Judi
ciary, and tho edicts of a usurping President
and Congress. Union and concert of action,
have preserved ns from the fato of the Carolinas
and Louisiana.
Let the same spirit animate every Georgian
in the approaching conflict, and we shall retain
the prond prestige of being the freest of all tho
lata Confederate States:
Macon, November 4tb, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: If there
shonld be an election for Governor for the nn
expired term of Governor Bnllock, wo beg to
suggest as a candidate Hon. Clifford Anderson.
It is unnecessary to tell tho people or Georgia
who Mr. Anderson is. His past services, as
every citizen will attest, prove him to be not
only a man of capacity, bnt one of the great
est integrity. Respectfully,
Many Citizens.
The Atlanta New Era has discovered a fatal
bar to a special election to fill Bnllock’s vacan
cy, in the Constitutional provision in regard to
tho regular election, that the votes for Gov
ernor shall bo counted on the day after the
Legislature is organized. We are glad to see
he can find nothing stronger than that, for his
own good senso will tell him it amonnts to
nothing. The cloar grant of power to provide
for a special election carries with it necessarily
every power needfnl to give effect to the elec
tion.
Editorial Correspondence.
Atlanta, November 3, 1871.
Nothing of importance transpired in either
branch of the General Assembly yesterday. Onr
telegraphic summary last night embraced every
thing. The Dunlap Scott resolutions were fally
considered in a joint caucus of both houses
after adjournment, and the minority report of
the committee to whom they had been referred
was adopted by an overwhelming vote. This
acknowledges Conley as possessed of Executive
authority de facto or ad interim, and announces
the General Assembly organized, and ready to
proceed with the usual routine of business.
The astounding canard of Bnllock will meet
with an effectual checkmate by this temperate
action of the Legislature. No bloody Kn-klnx
telegrams will confirm the atrocious falsehoods
of the guilty fugitive from justice. The air,
however, is thick with rnmors of Federal inter
ference in Georgia affairs. It is asserted that
martial law will be proclaimed and the writ of
habeas corpus suspended. Nothing can be too
despotio and high-handed for Grant and his
minions; bnt this diablerie would out Herod
Herod in the catalogue of his usurpations.
Fortunately, wise and moderate counsels have
prevailed and onr Dictator will have not oven
the semblance of an excuse for inflicting his
bayonets upon ns. "Nous verrons,” as Father
RUchie would say.
Among the officers elected was the veteran
Jesse Oslin, to his ancient post as Messenger
of the Honse. His nimble step and smiling
face carry ns back to good old nnte-bellnra
times, when majorities ruled and the country
was free.
The action of the caucus looks to tho speedy
passage of a bill ordering a special election to
fill the nnexpired portion of Governor Bul
lock’s term. It is even mooted to make the
Democratic nomination in jote* .-encus of the
two houses.
We do not believe, however, thsi proposition
finds much favor with the members, as it wonld
be a violation of the people’s prerogative, to
select their own standard bearer from delegates
chosen from their midst in primary assembly.
In these railroad times a notioe of even fifteen
days wonld suffice to bring together a large
and representative Convention.
This is the only course which wonld ensure
harmony and prevent bolting on the part of
the several aspirants whose names are men
tioned in connection with this high office. Of
conrso even thirty or forty days’ notice is the
least which wonld be allowed for so important
an.eleotion.
As will be seen in their proceedings, the
Legislature is again tinkering at the interest
question. How long will it be before sound
maxims of political economy are allowed to
obtain on this subject? .Money, like any
other commodity, derives its value from snpply
and demand, and is worth what it will command
freely in the markets. The impossibility also
of enforcing usury laws render them praotically
of no effect.
Whether the General Assembly will adjourn
after the passage of the election bill, and await
the installation of a new Governor before pro
ceeding to general legislation, remains to be
seen. We hope they will do so.
II. H. J.
“Ratlier Hazy.”
The Tribune draws it mild on the absquatu
lating Bollock's explanation of bis flight in the
above phrase. If old man Greeley is as honest
as his friends claim, and as he doubtless believes
himself to be, he will hasten to lift that affidavit
jast so soon as all the evidence is paraded on
the subject. So far from there being anything
“hazy,” then, about it, there will be rather a
loss for words to express the exceeding luminos
ity of the affair. We hope to hear from the Tri
bune, then.
The Times’ comments were admirably in
keeping with the character, or rather the lack
of it, of that enr-dog, thick and thin sheet. It
was eminently proper that Bullock’s first de
fender shonld be found in a paper that to-day
enjoys the proud notoriety of being, if anything,
a little more disgustingly trewly loyl than oven
Forney’s Press. Clews pretty much runs the
Times, and of conrso it shonld speak ont for
Clews’ bond-gorged friend, Bnllock. Wait till
Republican papers like the Springfield Republi
can, the New York Sud, and Cincinnati Com-
mercial tackle Bnllock, and see if they find any
thing “hazy” in his character or conduct as il
lustrated in his superbly mendacious and inso
lent address to the people of Georgia. “Hazy,”
indeed!
•. ■
The Course of the Legislature
Thus far, has been characterized by groat
dignity, prudence and self-possession. The ac
tion of the Goneral Assembly is evidently con
trolled by men who understand what they are
abont, and will pnt no weapons in the hands of
the enemies of Georgia. New perils unques
tionably await the State; and if Mr. Conley
and his Radical backers assume and inaistupon
the absurd position that the Legislature cannot
provide by special election to fill Governor
Bnllock’s vacancy, a conflict of jurisdiction is
likely to arise. Bnt even in such event, the
greater need of coolness and address—of using
no ill-considered word and of takirig no step
which will hare to bo retraced. We believe
the Legislature will prove itself a wise, calm
and safe body.
Usury Laws.—The publio drift is pretty
clearly indicated in the general attack npon the
usury laws in the Legislature. Laws fixing the
price of money are. always evaded, as a matter
of oonrse; bnt as the evasion is more or less
dangerous, it impairs security and the damage
must bo compensated by increased rates of in
terest. Usury laws, therefore, only make
money dearer. It is a grotesque commentary
on the statute limiting interest in Georgia to
eight per cent, that everybody knows that
eighteen to thirty per cent, is the current rate
all over Georgia. The law is a dead letter, and
a dead letter statute is the most dangerons kind
of a corpse. A law declaring that where rates
of interest are not specified seven per cent,
shall he the rule is all that is necessary.
The Ku-klux Committee Report.—Washing
ton dispatches say that Senator Scott, of Penn
sylvania, is there at work preparing his report
for Congress. It will be n most elaborate doe
nment, the testimony alone making almost as
much os tho evidence of the committee on tho
conduct of the war. The snb-committee on the
debts of the Southern States are not yet ready,
but so far as the statements ore made np they
show an increase of expenditure and taxation
and debt that bid fair to overtop the most ex
travagant estimates which have been made,
and show an oppression of the people that
wonld naturally enough provoke resistance in
an unlawful shape. _

THE GEORGIA PRESS-
The pickpockets at the Augusta fair thus far
have hod only iean rations—one gold watch be
ing all that was reported np to Thursday night.
We clip these items from the Chronicle and
Sentinel of yesterday:
The End of a Carolina Tragedy.—On yes
terday morning the Chronicle and Sentinel
published the fact that a little boy living in
Edgefield county, South Carolina, abont two
miles from Hamburg, had been murdered by
his nurse. On yesterday we received fuller par
ticulars of the affair, from which it seems that
the tragedy has been snpplemertC 1 by still an
other deed of blood. It appears that the mur
deress was a nurse on the plantation of the
gentleman whose child was killed. Being in
censed for some cause or other, she deliberately
took a shot gun and killed the little boy, who
was only two years old. Tho woman then fled,
and hot pursuit was organized. She took the
road to Graniteville, and was arrested about ten
o’clock in the evening. Soon after her arrest
she was taken in custody by the deputy sheriff
of the county. Shortly after this, while the
prisoner was walking along the road between
two constables, suddenly a shot was fired and
the woman fell dead. No one knows who did
tho killing, as the shot came from a crowd of
men at a distance from tne spot. The names
of the parties are not given for the present.
Runaway and Accident.—On yesterday even
ing a rather singular accident ocnnrred, by
which a frolic. brought its own punishment.
From what we <jan learn of the affair, it seems
that just after the termination of the race a
party named Blackwell, from Elbert county, and
atvisitor in attendance on the Fair, wished to
come from the grounds to Broad street. Unable
to get a conveyance, he took possession of a
bnggy belonging to Mr. J. B. Pournelle, and
making a little negro get in with him, started
np town. Mr. Pournelle discovering what had
been done, started in pursuit. Blackwell drove
very recklessly, and when turning a corner he
and the negro were thrown from the bnggy.
Eaoh of them had his left arm broken, and
medical assistance was summoned. The police
man who came to arrest Blackwell for taking
the boggy, found him under the care of a phy
sician.

Horse Killed.—In the afternoon of yester
day a man whose name is given as Doc Harris,
dashed with a horso and buggy throngh tho Fair
Gronnd gates, and then commenced lashing his
horse and sending him pell mell throngh tho
crowd in every direction. Policemen ordered
him to stop, and tried to catch his bridle, bnt
all was jn vain. He dashed against a carriage.
A lady inside fainted. Several children nar
rowly escaped. As a last resort io save life, the
gate keeper, Mr. R. A. Wood, seeking an op
portunity when his shot could injure no human
creature, aimed at the horse while in a gallop.
The ball struck the animal in the shoulder and
killed him. The man was carried to tho gnard-

passed through R'-me last Monday have arrested
James Casey and Thomas his eon, David Lowry
and Jaoob Thomas, cf Polk county; also Dnn-
oan Monroe and his sota-in-law, of Haralson

Mrs. Jane E. Jordan, for thirty years a resi-
*dent of Perry, died last week. And Dr. J. O.
Harvey died at Hayneville, on Thursday,-aged
70 years.
The Houston Home Journal says produce is
very lively abont Hayneville, just now. Pota
toes leave their patches in the night without
any notice to their owners; corn gets ont of the
way in some mysterious manner, under cover of
darkness; and cotton fairly gets np and flies.
This is all owing to the faot that General Grant
has not provided all his colored brethren with
an offioe, ’hence some of them must steal or
work, and they are not prepared for tho latter.
The Washington Gazette expresses its gratifi
cation at the great success of the late'State
Fair and says:
It has been onr opinion, for some time, that
there are too many big fairs in this State. Rival
cities have entered into a sort of contest on the
snbjoct, and rings and cliques have gotten np
grand fairs as a pure specnlation, and with the
sole object of making money. We are gratified
at the failure of all sneh. There shonld be bnt
one grand fair for the State, and that shonld be
ob near the centre of the State as possible; we
know of no more eligible site than Macon. This
fair, with one in each county, is sufficient. We
think, however, that the matter will soon regu
late itself. The speculative concerns will soon
break down and then everything will be concen
trated npon one grand exhibition, and a grand
exhibition it will be, too. We wonld urge upon
onr County Agricultural Clnbs, to unite with
the State Association, and to ignore all others.
The people will soon cloy of too many fairs;
many good things are spoilt by being made too
common.
The Savannah Advertiser, of Friday, says
Hon. Solomon Cohen, of that city, was stricken
with para^is, at Augusta, the day before.
The latest fashionable wedding at Savannah
was that of Miss Cornwell and Mr. E. B. Chip,
man, at Christ Church.
Tho Savannah Advertiser says officer Tom
Smith, of that city, had a rough time on Friday
in attempting to arrest a desperate negro named
Dick Williams. The latter, after attempting to
shoot Smith, severely cut a man named Heit-
man in the hand, who was aiding Smith, and
slit the latter’s olothes across his abdomen to
the skin, finally making his escape.
Another non-explosive kerosene lamp nearly
burned a negro woman to death, at Savannah,
on Friday night. She was only saved by the
oil’s not being thoroughly non-explosive.
We find the following items in the Angnsta
Constitutionalist, of yesterday:
Man Shot Accidentally.—Yesterday after-
noon, about one o’clook, persons in and near
the Central Hotel were startled by the muffled
report of a pistol near the front entrance. The
clerk and several other gentlemen at once rushed
to the door, and fonnd that a pistol in the coat
pocket of Mr. Bose Williams, of Telfair county,
who has been at the hotel for a day or two, had
exploded, the ball passing throngh his head
and inflioting a wound from which he probably
died last night, as the physicians had no hope
os his recovery. At the time of the shooting
Mr. Williams was sitting in a chair near the
door, and as ho was slightly intoxicated, it is
supposed that he had placed a cocked pistol in
his pocket, and that it had struck against one
of the arms of the chair, causing it to explode.
A Lunatic on the Rampage.—Yesterday
morning a little boy standing near the tent3 of
Robinson’s oirens was struck on the head and
seriously wounded by a man, who was after
wards arrested. Shortly afterwards a dispatch
was received from Columbia, S. C., stating
that a lunatic had escaped from the asylum.
The dispatch gave the description of the es
caped lunatic, which corresponded with that of
the man who had been arrested, and ho was
accordingly lodged in jail to await the arrival
of a keeper from the asylum.
Tho Albany News Fays- that Kimball’s col
lapse has thrown ont of employment abont two
thousand persons, With several months’ pay dne
them for labor.
It also says that “Judge Sessions, of the
Supreme Court, has granted an injunction
against those attaching the property of the
Brunswick and Albany road, and confirmed the
appointment of Colonel John Screven ns re
ceiver. The rolling stock has been released,
and tho lumber trains are now running over the
road. In a few days a daily passenger train
will bo started from Brunswick to Albany. As
to tho prosecution of the eonstrnction of the
road beyond Albany, nothing is or can be de
termined at present.”
The News gives the details of the doings of
one Burns, superintendent of the road, who it
says sent or went “np the road and seized pro
visions on their passage to Albany for Dr. Sehaub
and Mr. Bine, contractors on the road, loaded
other oars with the males, tools and provisions
of other hands working on the road, with the
avowed purpose of moving them farther up the
road to work, ani vamosed to Brunswick,
leaving the hands standing in the woods without
provisions, shelter or transportation. Reaching
Brunswick, he loaded np the furniture of the
office and all the commissaries, having an
nounced his intention to move his quarters to
Albany or Cnthbert for the proseention of the
work, and leaving hundreds of men there with
out food, made off with his train to Macon.
There Messrs. Hazlehnrst & Minchan, contrac
tors, pounced npon him for money due, and in
order to secure his plunder he settled or com
promised with them for $5,000. This financial
feat was scarcely accomplished when Dr. Schanb,
a large contractor, seized tho supposed relieved
train, and placed it in tho hands of an officer of
the law."
The Atlanta Snn, of yesterday, says:
State Road Investigation.—Major Hillyer
has introduced a resolution to have the conduct
of Foster Blodgett and his associates inquired
into.' This will, of conrso, be done. With a
committee of the Legislature, clothed with
power to compel the attendance of witnesses,
and the production of book3 and papers, and
such assistance as can be rendered by others,
the bottom of dishonesty can be reached. We
learn that Major Hargrove and Major McCalls,
who have done so mnch to ferret ont the rascal
ity, are able to point ont the locality of a very
large amonnt of property rightfully belonging
to the State—mnch of which can be seonred and
saved. «
The Thomaston Herald, of yesterday, learns
from reliable authority that Swift, Hamburger
& Co. had on yesterday morning, the misfortune
to get one of their factories burned down. It
is the upper factory, known as the old Wayn-
manville Factory. We have not been able to
obtain tho particulars as to loss of property or
means by which the burning was caused.
The La Grango Reporter of Friday has the
following:
Cutting Scrape.—Onr town was somewhat
excited on last Tuesday night by the cutting of
Miles Tharpe by Reese Morgan, both colored.
From the facts that we can gather, it seems that
Reese Morgan was drank, and Mile3 Tharpe
had been summoned by the marshal to arrest
him, which they proceeded to do, when Reese
Morgan drew his knife and plnnged it to the
hilt in Miles Tharpe, causing his intestines to
protrude about eicht inches. Our fellow towns
man, Mr. John N. Cooper, was also cut by
Reese during the melee, bnt only very slightly.
Reese ws3 carried to jail, where ho is now
awaiting the action of the authorities. Miles
Tharpe is now lying in a very critical situation.
He was a hard working colored man and was
thought a great deal of by onr citizens.
Another of Miss Aloott’s Stories.—Brown
& Co. have jast received from Carlton, another
of those charming little tales by Miss L. M.
Alcott—the series of which began with that
sprightly story, “Little Women.” Nothing in
the way of juvenile literatnro, issued from the
American press in twenty years, has exoited so
great interest among young and old, as these
attractive stories by Miss Alcott.
Various Tales.—The fugitive Governor of
Georgia seems to be disseminating varions and
contradictory statements as he scoots along. To
one he says he fled from the Kn-klnx to save
his life—to another that he has left a fall state
ment with Mr. Conley, and will be back to sus
tain it before the courts, and to another that he
washes his hands of Georgia forever.
The Utahs and the Ku-klux.—The Washing
ton Cabinet had a meeting last Tuesday abont
the Mormons and the South Carolina Kn-klnx.
It was agreed to continue the proseentions in
Utah, and to turn over the ^Treated Kn-klnx to
to the discretion of Akerman, whether to ad
mit them to bail or not.
The Honse on Bnlloch’s slanders.
The following are the resolntions submitted
by Mr. Jackson, of Fulton, which passed the
Honse on Friday by a vote of 132 to 24. We
published the list of nays yesterday:
Resolved, That Rufus B. Bunllocb, late Gov
ernor of the State of Georgia, who has^resigned
his offioe, and left the State under circumstances
creating grave suspicions that ho is guilty of
high crimes and misdemeanors, has, in charging
in a letter bearing date of 23d October, 1871,
addressed to his political friends and the peo
ple of Georgia, that a majority of the Honse of
Representatives had pledged themsel-es to vote
for articles of impeachment against him with
out investigation, and that the Senate had de
termined to unseat, a sufficient number of Re
publican Senators to secure his conviction, with
out regard to the truth and validity of the
charges, defamed this General Assembly by
charges which are nntrao.
Resolved, That the statement in tho same
letter to the effect that the people of Georgia
have recently denounced or ignored the Consti
tution of the United States, is false and defama
tory cf the people of this State; on the contrary
we assert that the people of this State do now,
as they did six months ago, (when, according to
the letter of RnfnsB. Bnllock, they were peace
ably disposed,) acquiesce in the result of the
war, and neither entertain any Hostility toward
the United States, nor deny to any persiin within
the State the equal protection of the laws.
How Shall tlie Nomination f^>r Gov*
ernor be JIalv ' »
Editors Telegraph and Messenger : We have
a rumor from Atlanta that a large number of
the members of tbe Legislature favor making a
nomination for Governor by that body. The
pretext is that there is not time to call a con
vention. Now, as a Democrat, and one who as
sisted actively end serviceably in returning a
Democratic Legislature, I concur in the views
of yonr Atlanta correspondent and enter my
protest, and I think I utter the sentiment of the
people in saying that such a nomination will be
resisted, either by a convention nomination or
people’s candidate.
The executive committee can meet as early as
Wednesday next and order a convention in 15
days, and fifteen days’ canvass is quite long
enough under existing circumstances.
I have faith in the wisdom and patriotism of
the Legislature in legislating, bnt not in the
log-rolling and combination system of select
ing candidates for office. It is easier to cor
rupt or mislead one or two hnndred men than a
hnndred thousand, and assuming that the mem
bers of the Legislature are no better men than
the average of those who sent them there, it is
nnsafe to trust so small a body with tho impor
tant matter of selecting a Governor at this cri
sis. The people want a convention, and a con
vention they will have, or they will rnn a candi
date of their own. One of the People.
Does a Bight of Common Exist in
Georgia ?
The editor of the Gainesville Eagle, who at
tended the Superior Court of Union county
last week, makes mention cf a case that was
tried which raises a point that is new to ns, at
least. He says:
At Blairsvillo an action for tresspass was tried
that elided nnnsnal interest, among bath the
bar and citizens, and which, in the questions
involved, we believe is a new one to the judi
ciary of Georgia. This was an action brought
by James Gurley against Charles Davis, et. al.,
in which it appeared that the defendants had
built a fence five or six miles in length, along
tho summit of the mountains, thus excluding
tho plaintiff’s catllo and horses from range,
in which the plaintiff claimed by prescrip
tion, or custom, tho right of “common of pas
ture," and this action was brought to recover
damages for an interference with this right by
building tho fence. The defendant demurred
to the declaration on the gronnd that no right of
common existed in this State. The court over
ruled tho demurrer, and the case was submitted
to the jury on its merits, who returned a ver
dict for the plaintiff. The defendant made a
motion for a new trial, and the case will proba
bly be carried to the Supreme Court, for final
adjudication.
The “Tweed Flag Nailed to the Mast.”—
The New York papers generally that are work
ing against the ring frauds in that city are cha-
grinned that Boss Tweed continues to hold his
office, as chief of the department of public
works, and maintains his candidacy for State
Senator. The candidate pnt np against him is
O’Donovan r...;sa, one of the Irish exiles, bnt
this is baldly thought to be serions or hopefnl
opposition. The New York Star, the Tammany
organ, thus proclaims:
As chief of • tho department of publio works
Mr. Tweed remaios at his post, the busiest pub
lic officer in the city, and from morning till night
discharging his duties to the utmost of his abil
ity. He remains in the field also as Senatorial
candidate, and will do so until sundown on the
day of the election, when the polls will close
showing a majority in his favor of not less than
15,000 votes.”
Meanwhile the “Boss* is surrounded by the
sharpest New York press “interviewers,” but
though very approachable and polite they can
get nothing ont of him. He simply says “no,’’
and refers them to his counsel.

A High Price foe One Radical Rascal.—
Judge Noah Davis, United States District At
torney of New York, has stated to the commit
tee of seventy that he has ample proof that
State Senator Bowen, a Republican in the last
session of the Legislature, received ten thou
sand dollars for voting for the tax levy bill, ten
thousand for voting for all the ring bills, five
thousand for voting for the Erie bill and five
thousand for voting for the city charter bill.
And what’s more, Bowen has been nominated
for re-election, and will be successful. Talk
abont Tammany corruption, when such cattle
arc re-endorsed by the Radical party. That’s
the sublimity of cheek.
Washington County FAiB.-»The editors of
the Telegraph acknowledge a card of invita
tion to the Washington Coonty Fair, which is
to be held at Sandersville from the 9th to the
11th inBtant, inclusive. The premium list,
which we have examined, is a very liberal one
and well calculated to develop home industry;
and we see that W. A. Hardee’s Sons, of Savan
nah, offer a special premium of $50 for the best
bale of cotton. There is also to be a tournament
under the supervision of that gallant Knight of
the Qnill, Sir J. M. G. Mediock, whom we hope
will never be unhorsed. We wish the Washing
tonians the most perfect snccess.
Laurens County.—The Herald Commissioned
reports in regard to Laurens county that there
has never been a negro killed by a white man
in that county since the war, except in one elec
tion riot, in which a band of negro militia fired
npon the whites, killed two or three of them and
were subsequently dispersed by the people. On
the other hand, he shows several instances of
barbarous murders of whites by blacks, for mere
purposes of plnnder. There has been no vio
lence in that county, on the part of the whites,
except such as was most naturally excited by
reckless and unpunished brutality and lawless
ness on the part of some villainous black politi
cians. ___
Sam Slick.—Wo had almost forgotten this
famous personage until yesterday, when we re
ceived from Hurd & Honghton, New York,

of his sayings and doings, most elegantly gotten
up in gTeen and gold, with illustrations by Bar
ley. Typographically and pictorially, Sam was
never in snoh high feather before. We shall
revive onr memories of Sam’s inimitable take
off of the “Bine Noses" with great delight. In
its sphere this book is unapproachable, r.nd
those who have not read it have fan in store.

Many will'ask who is W. A. Huff? Ipropcsel

Although he was weak and slender, he vogl
do as much work as any of the hands on fel
farm; he wonld pick as mnch cotton, or pi,I
as mnch as the best of them. At the aged j
twenty-one he left home and went up to llijjl
and got a situation there as a clerk in aisjl
establishment, only getting eighteen dollars p» I
month. Ont of this small snm he paid iil
board and saved some moriey. While enp^l
in this little store as-a clerk he purchased hi I
hnndred bushels of corn on a credit of sir I

He then left the store and went to schoolil
Macon as long as his money lasted, and tk|
was fortunate enough to get employment r.l
the Macon and Western road as conductor. Eil
continued in that bnsiness for five years, El I
when he had left the road he had savedabosl
