News Items.
Xsx Mexican muddle appeals io get thicker.
Gold Weather.—Gold weather prevails in
Europe as in this oountry. At Paris the ther
mometer has marked eight below zero, and like
cold has been experienced In other localities.
Tax OoMt Chop.—The Agricultural Depart
ment reports the com crop of 1871 average in
the yield, and in view of the increased area
planted, a large one.
A Sight to Please Akxeman.—Two thousand
United States soldiers—infantry, calvary and
artillery, surround the State House in Columbia
where the Ku-klnx trials are progressing—a
sweet and edifying spectacle.
Cotton.—There were heavy sales yesterday
morning in New York on a steady market—
9,476 bales were sold "Wednesday evening and
up to Thursday noon. In Liverpool the market
-was firm at yesterday’s quotations, with sales of
16,000 bales.
No D—m— Tax Against Dbcmmebs.
The -United States Court has recently, in the
of Ward against the State of Maryland,
denied the right of any State to levy a discrimi
nating tax against non-resident traders. The
Supreme Court of Ohio, have, in a similar case,
made the same denial, and the District Court in
Washington has followed suit.
Chicago.—Sixty thousand loads of refuse
material from the fire have been thrown into
Lake Michigan, and it has made but a trifling
impression upon the large amount of material
left by the fire; 23,000 buildings were bnmea,
2,000 frame dwellings put up for temporary
use, and 500 permanent dwellings are already
built
Senator Trumbull talked like a good man
and a patriot in response to the taunts of Mor
ton, that he was unfaithful to his party in press
ing investigations into official corruption. Says
Ur. Trumbull:
“My republicanism is not partizan. I care
nothing for it except as a party of great princi
ples, and if it ever comes to ba used as a cover
for frands and iniquities, the honest people of
the country will overwhelm ns as they ought
to.”
Okcs Rctxth, Always Rebels.—The World
calls attention to the fact that although every
Southern State is now represented in both
houses of Congress, that body still keeps up its
“Joint Select Standing Committee on the In
surrectionary States.” Thus though recognized
in some sort as in the Union, the Southern
States are still in insurrection against it, and
though declared members of a sisterhood of
coequal States, will always be held as the Cin-
derillasof the family.
A Word of Explanation.—A respectable and
clever descendant of one of the tribes of Israel
complains, that some years since, a local editor
of paper made disparaging remarks of his
race and country. Now, we utterly disclaim
any such illiberal sentiments, and cannot be
responsible for all that may find its way into
these columns through the news agents of the
oonoern. In an enterprise of such magnitude,
many heads and many hands are required to
run the machinery, and occasionally it is not
surprising that a cog shonld jump out of gear
and disturb the equilibrium. But we are al
ways ready to make the amende equitable.
The ancient and chosen people of God have
figured too largely in the annals of sacred and
profane history, to be regarded with contumely
or disrespect. In the English peerage and cab
inet ; in the armies and councils of the Confed
eracy, and in all the monetary transactions of
the world, they occupy prominent and conspic
uous positions. Many of our hpst families and
most useful oitizens also, are of Hebrew ex
traction ; and far be it from ns to say aught
against our Jewish citizens. This journal is
the special advocate of no religious sect, and
makes war upon none other than the avowed
enemies of the country. Toleration and per
fect liberty of conscience it believes shonld be
aocorded to alL
Goes Up but Can’t Come Down.—The spray
of the little fountain which is wont to distil like
dew upon the verdant oasis, planted by Mr.
Singleton, in the centre of onr ragged city, is
caught up and transfixed again, midair, upon
the foliage of the same holly tree. The congealing
touch of the wintry blast transmutes the liquid
crystal into a shower of real and tangible peails,
which are strung together with greater splendor
and profusion than the necklace of Cleopatra.
Pendant, and gently moving in the breeze, re
flecting and refracting the brilliant rays of the
sun, the effect is gorgeous beyond description.
A fretted network of ice, woven by Nature’s
own loom and shuttle, encircles the fount, and
the whole is a palpable burlesque upon the erst
while Arcadian summer scene.
Verdant and lovely in the season of the sing
ing birds and budding flowers, it is hardly less
attractive and beautiful, in the hyperborean
aspect which now greets the vision.
"We never pass within hearing of the plash of
that fountain, or scan the miniature lake and
grass-bordered flowerbeds of “the Spring Gar
den,” without thanking the tasty author ot Uus
sylvan soene for the happiness he has conferred
without money and without prioe. Such men
are public benefactors.
Bowen vs. Scott.
In exposing their mutual rasoalities to the
gaze of the world, Bowen and Boott are proba
bly doing the only good they ever did in their
lives, and the only good they are capable of do
ing. Let the whole raoe of Radical emissaries,
spies, familiars, skinners, and plunderers, who
have been sent South to organize and lead the
blacks in raids upon the Southern taxpayers
nail each other by the ears as scare-crows to
their less guilty confederates and adherents. It
cannot f Ml to have a good moral effect on the
deluded negro politicians who Lave been created,
corrupted, misled and deceived by such men, to
see them charge and prove upon each other that
all their boasted devotion to the political and
social equality of the races, had no other sug
gestion or foundation than a settled purpose to
use the negroes as catspaws in the business of
public robbery;—to see them tear from each
others’ faces the mask of generous brotherhood,
irrespective of color, race or previous condi
tion, and stand self-exposed a band of thieves,
liars, mischief-makers and social inoendiaxies,
whose only object has been to glut their greed
in the spoliation of the whites and negroes, too,
wherever it was possible, and to secrete end
cany off the public plunder as their subservient
African tools presented it to their clutch.
Bowen, in the report of his committee of in
vestigation makes short work of Soott’s defen
sive pleas. He proves by figures that Scott
has put on the market $6,314,000 in South Car
olina bonds not authorized in any way by law,
and an Ohio paper hailing from Scott’s stamp
ing ground, says that this adventurer went into
the war in 1661, not worth one dollar, but since
he has been Governor cf South Carolina, has
bought property in Ohio valued by the hundred
thousand.
This and all the other vast amounts of plan-
der carried off by these scurvy adventurers will
not be altogether lost if the example shall
teach the negroes, if they will go into politics,
to go into them on their own acoount, and to
tom a deaf ear to the wretched and depraved
white intrignants who come sneaking around
them with the whine of equality and brother
hood. If the negroes prefer to steal, let them
steal on their own account and spend the money
in the country where they may possible get a
second chance at it. But at any rate, let them
take the offices themselves, if they can; and
rely upon it, that, be as dishonest as they may,
they will not do so much harm as these white
faglemen on the universal equality basis.
The Seating or Senator Norwood.
As was remarked yesterday, we regard this act
of justice as a happy augury for the future, and
congratulate the people of Georgia, that for the
first time within a decade of years, the legiti
mate voice of their noble State will be heard
npon the floors of the Federal Senate.
Nor will the sound be feeble or uncertain.
Mr. Norwood is possessed of eminent talents,
and moreover is a Christian gentleman of un
blemished reputation, and unswerving integrity.
The writer has known him as an intimate friend
for many years, and would trust him as soon
as any man in Georgia.
Never fear that he will bow to the Baal of
Badicalism, or fail to throw himself in the breach
when the rights of his native State are invaded.
Mr. Norwood possesses a dear and discrimina
ting intellect, and is a fluent and agreeable
speaker. His advent in the Senate will form a
startling episode to the dull routine of Federal
wrong and usurpation.
Georgia expects muoh from her gallant knight,
who enters the arena armed cap a pit, with
Democratic principles, and clad with the ar
mor of the Constitntion at it was. May his
IaEce and pennon never go down in the fight.

Stopping the Ball.—The Columbus Sun, in
commenting npon onr recent allusion to the al
leged fact that the Democratic Senators at
Washington had written a letter to Gov. Tanoe
advising him to return his credentials as Sena
tor to the North Carolina Legislature, and al
low them to select some other man who could
get the seat, commends the pluck of that Leg
islature in “stopping the ball of tyranny at the
first hop”—that is, by electing Gov. Vance.—
That teas stopping the ball with a vengeance,
tyranny, with ample power to enforoe its
edicts, decreed that only a specific class of men
shonld hold office in its domains. This was the
ball they set rolling. Straightway a body of
legislators selected as their representative in a
high station one of these very proscribed olass.
This was stopping the ball, according to the
Sun. That kind of stoppage works worse than
a boomerang, if we are any judge of such things.
The Dbtjg House of Hunt, Han kin & La-
■Min-—Besides being one of the largest and
most enterprising and successful wholesale es
tablishments in the State, this firm has taken
fiteps to supply planters with all the materials
needful for the compounding of unadulterated
and reliable fertilizers of home manufacture.
These preparations are far cheaper than the
commercial manures, and can be put up by the
planters with very little trouble. A reference
to their published certificates will show in what
estimation they are held by those who have
used them the past season.
Bead the advertisement of these gentlemen,
and form your own conclusions.
Thinks’ Lee Monument Association.—The
committee of ladies in Richmond Hiring in
charge the funds for this object, respectfully
request friends and agents in all parts of the
South, to make returns of their collections, if
possible, by the first of January, 1872. This is
desirable that the results of the year’s work
may be seen, and that plans for fntnre opera
tions may bo more intelligently devised and
faithfully executed. Remittance by checks,
money orders, or registered letters, may be
made to “Mrs. George W. Randolph, Rich
mond, Va.”
Gbukl.—A Washington telegram in the Tri
bune says “a leading South Carolina Republi
can politician says it is by no means certain
that that State will go for Grant’s renomination 1
Think of that. How can the Carolina thieves
and Booties fail Grant after all he has done for
them in the way of martial law. And the same
paper says that the anU-Akerman-Bulloek.Blod.
gett wing in Georgia are going against Grant.
The Election xm WAsxntorox County.
We have reoeived the following wmatolha
giving the vote of Washington county:
Sandersyillx, Ga., Deoember 20,1871.
Editors 1 degraph and Jfeuenger: The vote
of Washington oonnty has been consolidated
and gives the Democratic candidate six hundred
and nine votes, he receiving every vote cast in
the county. Respectfully,

Governor Walker of Virginia—How He
Looks, and How he Came to be a Citizen
of Virginia.
The Cincinnati Commercial of a late date has
a letter from Richmond which we mutilate to
the following extent:
To see a man who had been so fortunate in
welding discordant elements together, and
bringing peaoe to a “State lately in rebellion,”
I called npon the Governor in his Executive
office. I found him to be what all those who
know him say he is—a very handsome man—
tall, graoeful, and commanding, without a pound
too much flesh or a pound too little; as straight
as an arrow, and symmetrical in body and limb;
a fine head, covered with hair gray almost to
whiteness; a clear, bluish-gray eye, beaming
geniality and good humor; a finely chisellec
nose tad mouth ; a moustache jet black, and
akin as fair and white as that of a woman’s.
Suoh is a brief outline of the personal appear
ance of Gilbert C. Walker, modem Governor of
the ancient Dominion.
He is a man of wonderful tact, and that,
added to his handsome address and genial man
ners, is smong the oauses of his popularity.
In the course of conversation he told me how
it happened that he came to Virginia. “It
shows,’’ said he, “upon what trivial incidents a
man’s whole destiny may hang. About the
time of the close of the war I was practicing law
in Chicago. My brother in California wrote me
to take the deposition of a man here in Virginia
In a certain case. After some hesitation I con
sented, and came to Norfolk. While in Chicago
I had been troubled with catarrh, but after
spending a few days in Norfolk I notioed to my
surprise that my disease began to get better.
The longer I stayed in the State, the better I got,
but npon returning to Chicago all my old symp
toms came back, and I was as bad off as ever.
Solely on account of the disease, and to get rid
of it, I moved to Norfolk about the time of the
close of the wor. But for having to take the
deposition of a man in Virginia in a California
law-suit, I should not now have been here. It
was all accidental”
Eufaula Items-—We credit the following to
the Eufaula News, of Tuesday:
Death of T. W. Lane, Esq.—This gentleman
died suddenly on Saturday night last at the
house of his uncle, Dr. A. W. Barnett. He
was a man of fine talents, and for some time
edited the Columbus Sun, and later, the local
department of the Savannah Bepublioan. He
was not only excellent in writing, but the
numerous sketches from his pencil, will long
be appreciated. He died from an overdose of
cholorform which he had been using for several
days for the relief of severe rheumatic pains.
Peace to his ashes.
A N&sance.—We almost insist that when the
next theatrioal company visit Eofaula, some per
son be stationed in a conspicuous part of the
house, and toll the audienoe when to laugh and
when to look serious. The grinning on Satur
day night at the affecting portions of the play,
was an intolerable nuisance.
Some suoh official as our ootemporary sug
gests, would not find Ms office altogether a sin
ecure in this city.
A bubal poet indioted a sonnet to his sweet
heart, entitled “I kissed her tub rota.” The
oompositor knew better than that, and sat it up
in printer’s Latin, *1 kissed her snub nosa.”
The Emperor William is a hale and healthy
man. Like a hardy hunter, he went the other
day on a five days’ shooting excursion, for a
busy potentiate of 76 no inoonaiderable feat.
Savannah paged 2,016 votes for Smith, for
Governor.
In stepping fsem a railway car in Opelika,last
Monday night, die Bev. Jesse Boring wae pre
cipitated to tfeejgoMc bottom of a ditch, and had
one of hie legs broken.
The Columbus Sun learns from private letters
Jackson county, Florida, has been pat
nwiW martial law. OoL Coker, of Mariana, and
Dr. Tennille," of Greenwood, have been arrested
and carried to Jacksonville, charged with viola
tion of the enforcement act. Numbers of ne
groes daily are appearing before the military
authorities, swearing againet prominent citi
zens. Federal troops are quartered in Marianna.
The smallpox has broken out among the
Swedee who lately arrived in Putnam county.
At least the Eatonton Press reports on the plaoe
of Captain A. S. Reid,
Mr. Willian Lassiter, an employee of the Ea
gle and Phinix Factory at ColumVs, dropped
dead last Monday evening. Heart disease.
We find the following paragraph in a late At
lanta letter to the Chronicle and Sentinel. We
have never heard any such report before, and
have grave doubts as to its correctness. But
Mr. TTiH should speak oat and put the matter
beyond doubt:.
Heretofore it was thought that Judge McCay
was the “garnish of brains” for Gov. Conley’s
administration, and was the moving evil spirit
that gave life and theordoor of respectability to
the Radical shebang still kept np here. But it
now seems that Mr. B. H. Hill’s evil star and
black angel will not allow any one to invade
his orbit, and he, fn all his native power for
evil, will reign in bad eminenoe the controlling
genius. The report of his Intimacy with the
Governor is, no doubt, well founded. He seems
to lead a most isolated life here, and goes about
as a man with the ban of his brethren and of
society npon him. We who know with what
inevitable ruin and wreck he is followed and
the side he espouses, , take his present anti-
Sonthem and anti-patriotic oourse as an omen
most auspicious and pregnant with good results.
The last Sparta Times says:
Atlanta and Savannah Railroad.—We are
informed by anthentioaonroes that arrangements
are being consummated for building this great
air-line thoroughfare. A party in London is to
advance the money—so says the report, and a
contractor living in New Jersey, is to carry on
the work.
The ror.d is to pass through Millegeviile,
crossing the Central in Johnson county and
pass through Emanuel.
The Atlanta Sun of yesterday says:
I Arrest of James Settles.—Thursday evening
McKenzie Niobols, of Dade, arrived here with a
warrant for the arrest of Captain Skyles, as he
is called, who figured so conspicuously in the
late unlawfal arrests of the Dade county priso
ners. He Is charged with false imprisonment.
Yesterday morning he was arrested by Captain
G. Whit Anderson. We learn that he waived
an examination; that a gentleman who was
counsel for the Dade county prisoners vouched
for his appearance when called for, whereupon
he was allowed to go out of the custody of the
Sheriff. We were told that he went to the bar
racks and claimed military protection, to avoid
investigation and trial before the civil tribunals,
but do not know how true this report is.
The Chronicle and Sentinel, of Wednesday,
has the following account of a recent robbery
on a railway train:
Robbery on the Rail.—Robbery on a railway
seems to be a favdrite occupation just at pres
ent. On yesterday there arrived in this city
from Atlanta three parties, Messrs. — Madison,
John Kelly and James A. Hook. They were on
their way to South Carolina, in which State they
reside, and stated that they were robbed on
Sunday night last, between Huntsville, Alaba
ma, and Atlanta. They were in the seoond-class
car, and sitting next to them were four men and
a woman, who got on the train at Huntsville.
Soon afterwrads the Carolinians went to sleep and
did not wake np for several hours. When they
woke np Mr. Madison found that he had been
robbed of all the money he had, Mr. Kelly had
lost sixty-two dollars, and Mr. Hook forty. The
woman and men before alluded to bad been put
off for unbecoming conduct. The victims think
that this crowd got their money. Fortunately
Mr. Kelly had money enough elsewhere on his
person to pay his own and friends’ traveling ex
penses. It is thought that the guilty parties
may come this way, in quest of fresh plander.
The Columbus Enquirer thinks that 40,000 to
45,000 bales of cotton are all that city will get
this season, and that the major portion of it
has already oome forward.
The Georgia newspapers are requested to
copy the following notice:
Atlanta, December 15,1871.—In accordance
with a resolution adopted at the last session, a
meeting of the Georgia Press Convention iB
called to assemble in Atlanta an the second
Wednesday in Jannaty, 1872, for the transac
tion of important business. The attendance of
every member of the press is earnestly desired
and requested.
‘John H. Christy, President.

GoL Atkins having, over his own signature, de
clared that he was not the secret Republican
candidate for Governor, we give copies of some
telegrams that will show that his friends really
contemplated running him, and that divisions
in the party interfered with the programme.
Comment is needless:

We find the foliowihg in the Bainbridge
Democrat, of Wednesday:
A Negro Man Murdered by Ratwqat. Ku-
KLUX, AND HU CHILD ACCIDENTALLY BURNED TO
Death.—Last Thursday night, the 14th instant,
in this county, on Spring Creek, and near Sam
O'Neal’s plantation, a most brntal attack was
made on a negro man named Jordan Zeke,
daring which he was terribly wounded in the
bowels with buckshot. The parties, it seems,
were disguised, and made off after committing
the crime. On Saturday night last, at 12 o’clock,
the negro died, and on Sunday night a post
mortem examination and a coroners inquest
were held under Coroner Hahn, Dr. W. J. Har
rell conducting the former. The post mortem
examination discovered the cause of Jordan
Zeke’a death to be the gun shot wound in the
bowels, and the evidence rendered before the
jury plainly pointed out one William Hatcher,
a white man, as a perpetrator of the murder,
and a white man named Williams, as his acces
sory. Hatcher and Williams are both mem
bers of the Bepnblioan party, so there will pro
bably be very little said about the affair in the
Radieal newspapers. Sad to relate, while Zeke
Jordan was lying helpless, almost in the em
brace of death, his little son was accidentally
burned to death before his eyes.
The Savannah papers of Wednesday contain
the proceedings of a meeting of the dealers in
fertilisers of that city, at which the following
resolutions were adopted:
Resolved, That we deem it necessary to unite
together under the name of “The Fertiliser
Dealers’ Protective Association of Georgia.”
Resolved, That on or before the 15th of Jan
uary next, each member of this body will fur-
aiah a list of the names and residences of all
parties who have failed or refuted to psy for
their fertilizers.
Resolved, That we pledge cur honor and good
faith as merchants, that we will in no ease sell
to any of the parties (save for cash or city ac
ceptance) until the unpaid obligations an set
tled.
Reaotved, That we invite the co-operation of
all dealers in Georgia and South Carolina, in
order that we may achieve the desired end of
separating those entitled to credit from those,
who are not.
Resolved, That we thank the parties who
have promptly paid their obligations, as we
know seasons have been unfortunate and the
crop short, which makes their good faith and
honest purpose worthy of emulation.
Resolved, That we respectfully ask the good
men ms true all over the State to aid us, aa the
credit of the agricultural internet is seriously
embarrassed, in fact nearly dee troyed, by those
who heed their pecuniary obligations so little.-
Resolved, That we urge upon Rev. Dr.
IfftAns* Inspector, not to ioIaz his diligence in
analyzing and inspecting fertilisers. His oourse
has met with our approval, as we will not sell a
poor article, and oourt his rigid, scrutiny. He
was appointed for the protection of plan tars,
and jealously guards their interests as well as
ours.
The resolutions were adopted, after which
GoL F. W. Sims was chosen permanent Chair
man, and Mr. Ohas. Pratt elected Secretary.

In a recent intervirw with a Herald reporter
the Ex-President lets himself loose npon the
besetting sin of the times, in form and manner

“I read your letter from Georgia,” continued
Mr. Johnson, “giving the reason why Bullock
ran sway. It all looked reasonable enough. He
and his gang had robbed until they could not
get hold of another dollar, and then run like
thieves in the night. It will bo so in other of
the Southern States. The whole oountry seems
to have gone crazy in a grab after money. Cor
ruption stalks unchecked in every department
of the Government. Even the church is not
exempt. In New York I see there have been
frauds in the Methodist Book Concern. Money
devoted to the spread of the gospel is stolen
and invested in fast horses. Most lamentable

ment. When he devotes his energies to the
accumulation of wealth and fast horses, lesser
lights will be influenced by the example, and
although they may not get as much as the
great horse jockey and present-taker, they will
get as near as possible. It is reported that
even our Minister to England has been prosti
tuting his high office to mercenary purposes.
He has got mixed np with some mining com
pany, and it is proposed to sell stock under
guarantee of his official name. That is a nice
piece of business, and a beautiful example to
set before the world. I see that they are de
manding in England that he be recalled. They
are not used to such transactions over there,

Tbe Planets and their Inhabitants.
M. Fingnler, a noted French scientific gentle
man, says that modem astronomy having demon
strated that there are other worlds than onrs,
that the earth simply makes a part of a class or
a group of atars which do not differ essentially,
and that there is an infinity of other globes like
it, proceeds to consider the internal affairs of
the other worlds. Since there is nothing to dis
tinguish the earth from the other planets of our
solar system—Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter,
Saturn, Uranus and Neptune—he argues that
we must find in the others as we find here—air
and water, a hard soil, rivers and seas, moun
tains and valleys. There must be found also in
them vegetation and tress, and tracts covered
with verdure and shade. They must have at
mosphere and heavens. There must be in them
animals and even meD, or at leaBt beings su
perior to animals and corresponding to our
human type.
“Science has shown that the physical and cli
matological connections of the earth and the
other planets are identicaL On these planets as
on the earth, the sun shines and disappears,
yielding place to night, and cold and darkness
succeed to heat and light. In them as on the
earth, the rioh carpet of herbage covers the
plains, and luxuriant woods cover the moan-
tains. Rivers flow majestically on to the seas.
Winds blow regularly or irregularly and purify
the atmosphere by mingling their strata charged
in different degrees with the produce of the
evaporation of their soiL In quiet nights dwel
lers on these planets see the same heavenly
spectacle that delights our eyes, the same con
stellations, the same celestial visitors. They
have panoramic views of tbe planetary globes
with their following of faithful satellites and
luminous stars shining like gently-brandished
torches. Once in a while there is a sudden lu
minous trail which farrows the heavens like a
flash of silver; it is a star that shoots and drops
into the depths of spaoe. Again, it is a comet
with a beautiful tail that comes to bring news
from worlds million of miles away.”
The planetary man, according to his belief,
corresponds to the terrestial man. In the plan
ets tbe prooess of creation of organized life
must be the same aa in the earth; tbe succes
sive order of appearance of living creatures is
the same as on the globe. And, tike the terres
tial man, the planetary dies—is transformed af
ter death into a super-human and passes into
ether.

Your private eireblar, dated Washington, De
oember 9, 1871, and addressed to me at this
plaoe, bat this day been reoeived, which is In
My Dear Sir: A movement is begun to se
cure the passage of an aet by Ooagreoi to pre
vent the "further abridgment of the right to vote
by the assessment and accumulation of poll
taxes. You can render material aid in tho pas
sage of Booh as aet by furnishing instances

by ehaltaoges for non-payment of taxes. Itwil
bo neoessary that snob facts bo established by

scribe to the tame affidavit
Second. State the amount of taxes required.
Third. At what eleotion the right to vote
denied.
Fourth. The form or substance of the oath
required to be sworn in the vote.

The Liberty (Va.) News has the following ex
traordinary story: “We have lying before us
the fragment of an old brick, and the manner
and plaoe of its discovery are singular enough
to puzzle the most ingenious mind in the effort
to aooount for its being where it was. We will
state it briefly: Some workmen were engaged
in digging a well upon Mr. Roth's plaoe, winch
was a part of Mr. R. O. Mitchell’s farm, and at
the astonishing depth of forty-five feet they
found this brick imbedded in the solid earth.
Unfoitunately a blow of the piok broke it before
it was seen, but we have a large portion of it
before us, sufficient to oonvince aay one that
it is actually brick. It is well burned, hard as
a rook, of a red 6olor outride, and with a
bright, glazed appearance and a dark bluish
color inside, with here and there in it small
white flint atones, suoh as are frequently found
in brieks. It is well shaped, and was, we judge,
when entire, perfectly square, and is very thick.
It has also the shape of the mold, the top, with
the exception of a rim around it, being depress
ed neerly a quarter of an iuob, as if to receive
mortar. The locality affords no clew to a solu
tion of this mystery, for there has been no old
well or structure there within the memory of
man. Mr. Mitchell, who owned the tract,
bought it forty yean ago, when it was an old
field grown up with pines, some nearly as large
as his body, which argues that there could not
have been any bailding npon it for long years
before he bought it; nor is there any indenta
tion of the surface of the soil of any sort to af
ford any indication; and so the puzzling in
quiry is, How came it there?”
A Slandbb ox Toombs.—An Atlanta corres
pondent of the New York Herald, of last Mon
day, perpetrates this wicked libel on Toombs:
Toombs, as you are aware, is famous for his
faculty of getting off some most original and as
tonishing things. His last original idea was
when a gentleman reeently asked him what he
thought of President Grant’s administration.
“By God, sir,” replied Bob, in Ms own inimit
able style, “if yon were to throw a thousand
toes of ipeeeo into hell it oould not vomit forth
a greeter mass of corruption.”
‘abridged” bat “denieB” that right to vote
whieh is guaranteed by the second seotion of
the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitntion
of the United States.
If Instances have not heretofore occurred, let
eases be made-up at this eleotion, and if Demo
crats will not challenge, let Republicans chal
lenge each other. See the Tax Collector and
ascertain the amount of poll taxes required in
order to vote this year.
These facts will show that Georgia requires
and enforoes an impossible qualification in vio
lation of the Fourteenth Amendment. Let
these affidavits be obtained and forwarded to
the subscriber here with the least possible de
lay. Enclosed are blank affidavits to facilitate
the work. Yours respectfully,
Isaac Seeley.
In reply, I have to state that I cannot, in any
way. participate in the movement began, asyou
say, at Washington, to secure the passage of an
aet of Congress to prevent the further abridg
ment of the right to vote by the assessmeffiffind
accumulation of poll taxes, etc. And I regret
that any one calling himself a Republican should
attempt to resort to such means as is proposed
by you, in the sentence where you say, “If in
stances have not heretofore oocurred, let oases
be made up at this election, and if Democrats
will not challenge, let Republicans challenge
each other.” Doubtless your object will be to
convince the present Republican Congress that
the Democracy of Georgia are, by unjust legis
lation, preventing Republicans from voting in
this State, and to fasten that conviction npon
the minds of the members of Congress, yon
propose, if no instances of this sort of abuse on
the part of tho Democracy can be found, that
the Republicans challenge each other, for the
purpose of producing the impression in aid of
your movement This would, in my opinion,
be a dishonorable trick, practiced for the pur
pose of deceiving membors of Congress, and
misleading them, to which I trust no Republi
can in Georgia will lend himself.
Tbe Republican Convention which met nnder
the reconstruction act ot Congress, of which you
were a member, incorporated into the Consti
tution of the State the following provision:
“Every male person, born in the United
States, and every male person who has beeu
naturalized, or who has legally declared his in
tention to become a citizen of the United States,
twenty-one jears old, or upward, who shall
have resided in this State six months next pre
ceding the election, and shall have resided
thirty days in the county in whloh he offers to
vote, and shall have paid all taxes which may
have been required of him, and winch he may
have had an opportunity of paying, agreeably to
law, for the year preceding the election (except
as hereinafter provided) shall be deemed an
elector. ”
The exceptions refer to sailors, soldiers, and
marines in the servioe of the United States,
persona oonvicted of felony, larceny, eta, eta
Ard in another pirt of said Constitntion it is
provided that “no poll tax shall be levied, except I
for educational purposes, and suoh tax shall not
exceed one dollar annually on eaoh poll."
Now, as I have already stated, the ptuvisioas
were incorporated into the Constitntion of the
State by the Republican Convention, and were
considered wise and just, and I am aware of no
legislation in the State of Georgia, which in
terferes with the right of any voter, white or
colored, to exercise the elective franchise who
has paid the taxes required bv this provision of
the Constitution. In case the voter has no
property upon which he is required to psy tix,
he is assessed but one dollar annually, as a poll
tax, and if he pays that, within the time pre
scribed by law, there is no further penalty or
disqualification. This, to my mind, is just and
right. Each citizen of the State who has all
the rights of citizenship, including the right
to vote guaranteed to him by the Constitution
nnder which he liver, should bear some part of
the burdens of government, and I thick it will
not be contended, by any reasonable man, that
one dollar annually is an unreasonable burden,
and the citizen who fails to discharge this light
burden has no just reason to complain if he is
denied tbe right to exercise tbe elective fran
chise until he has complied. Nor can he rea
sonably complain that the amount of tax is in
creased as a penalty for nonpayment within the
time prescribed by law. This is a rale that ap
plies to all tax payers in this State, without re
gard to race, color or previous oondition of ser
vitude ; and it matters not whether the voter
be white or colored, Demoorat or Republican,
the role should be enforced.
The propriety of this small tax imposed upon
eaob voter is the more apparent when we re
flect that the convention wisely provided that
it should be applied to educational purposes
alone, so as to enlighten the citizens of tbe State
and thereby the better prepare them for the
wise and judioions exercise of the elective fran
chise.

This affidavit is worded so as to mislead igno
rant persons, and cause them to state, under
oath, faets which are not true, for the purpose
of deceiving members of Congress. You not
only propose that the voter swear that he was
prevented for non-payment of taxes, but that
scores of others in his oonnty were prevented
from even offering to vote. Ignorant persons
might take this oath withont duly considering
its import, but it is hardly reasonable to sup
pose that they could safely and truly swear, of
their own knowledge, that scores of others were
prevented from offering to vote on account of
non-payment of taxes.
You ssy in your circular that the—
Object is to show that the State of Georgia,
by thus assessing, doubling and accumulating
the poll taxes from year to year, not only
abridges, but denies that right to vote whieh is
guaranteed by the second section ot the four
teenth amendment to the Constitution of the
United States.
In noticing this paragraph, I remark that the
tax can neither be doubled nor aoeunulated
against any voter who does his duty as a oitizen,
and pays the small amount of tax annually whieh
the Constitution and laws require of him. Nor
do these laws, in my opinion, abridge or deny
any right of the citizen guaranteed by the sec
ond seotion of the 4th amendment to the Con
stitution of the United States. That section
refers to tbe appointment of representatives
among the different States, and declares that—
The only penalty which Congress has any
right to impose upon the State, under this sec
