Montgomery, May 12.—The Legisla
tive Committee to investigate tho means
whereby Spencer secured the claim to
the Senate, took a recess to-day. Over
three hundred pages of manuscript tes
timony, by Republican witnesses, prove
the following facts:
Before the election Spencer went to
Louisville to see General Terry and
urged him to send troops to Alabama,
the purpose being to uso troop3 03 a po
litical machine to intimidate Democratic
voters. After the election a separate
court-room Legislature was organized,
because it was feared that if both parties
met together, the Democrats would have
control of tho organization and defeat
Spencer. The Republicans who opposed
Spencer were bought over with money
and the promises of appointments to
office.
In order to get a quorum for the court
room a body of men wero sent for and
paid to come and represent counties not
only without certificates of election, but
without any pretences of election. In or
der to defeat a quorum in the Capitol
Legislature, one member was bribed by
Hind3 and another was drugged to insen
sibility.
The money used in corrupting mem
bers was government funds borrowed for
that purpose from post and revenue offi
cials. When a compromise was proposed
by Attorney General Williams, it was
found that unless ono Democratic Sena
tor could be unseated and a Republican
put in in his stead, tho record would
show that the Court-room Legislature
hod no quorum in the Senate, and that
Spencer’s election was void. Thereupon,
one Glass, the Republican Senator from
Macon county, was paid from. $300 to
$500 to pair off with a Democratic Sena
tor in whas was known as the “Miller and
Martin contest," and violate his pledge.
The Lieut. Governor (McKinstry) was
to rule, and the Republican Senators
were to sustain his rulings, so as to set
tle the contest before notico of the treach
ery could be conveyed to the absent
Democratic Senators.
Tho testimony of Robert Barber, Clerk
of tho court-room Lower Honse, and also
Clerk of the same House after consolida
tion, is a sample of tho whole mc33.
Barber, being duly sworn, testified as
follows: “IwasClerk of the Lower Honse
of tho court-room Legislature, and also
Clerk of the House in tho consolidated
Legislature. The object of the court
room Legislature was to secure the or
ganization and elect General Spencer to
the United States Senate. We did not
fbinV this could bo done if wo met at the
Capitol/*
After detailing tlio means employed
by Spencer to shelve ex-Goverhor Bar-
sons and Alex. White, whom he had
heard would be rival candidates for the
Senate, tho witness proceeds: ‘‘I have
letters from Spencer relative to the uso
of troops, but as they are confidential
I do not propose to introduco them.”
Tho committee insisted upon seeing the
letters. Barber, after consulting coun
sel, introduced them. Letter number
two. dated "Decatur, October 22d, 1873,"
after stating what troops had been or
dered to Alabama, and where stationed,
proceeded thus: “I wish Randolph,
Deputy U. S. Marshal, would use the
company at Opelika in making arrests
in Tallapoosa, Randolph and Claiborne
counties. I wish you would go to lai-
ladega and block the game. I must
not, however, bo known in the matter.
Signed "in haste. Yours truly, Geo. k
Spencer. To Robt. Barber."
Tho witness continued: I knew spen
cer's handwriting, and these letters are
written and signed by him, and bear the
impress of hia seal and motto—Die* At-
fend It drett. . .
Tho expression relative^ to arrests n

votes could be run
the election of the Republican candidates
for the legislature. T informed Genarcl
Spencer of these facte and this is whet
that pact of his letter relates to.
As cssistant secretory of the Republi
can tJt&te Executive ’Committee, I was
familiar with the plasm of Spencer-Had
the Republican party. J. J. Hinds .was
Spencer’s confidential man, and repre
sented him in cvery particular. Heihad
coatrcl of every movement. Col. Sheets,
Col. XT. H. Betts, ®. C. Whiting, IT. J.
Hinds, Charles Pelham, the United States
Masebal, A. R. Baker and I had the spe
cial management of ■Spencer’s election.
In oar conference I was informed that -all
the money needed to procure Spencer’s
election was provided and in the bonds
of Hinds.
It was said that -the Lowndes ccucriy
delegates, except Uq£or Hunter, were
disaffected. This would defeat Spencer’s
election. We were inf armed that -$2,930
had been raised to dicaffect these mem
bers, and that it had been deposited,
subject to the order .cf Senator Jones.
This we afterwards found to be untrue j
but net knowing any better then, 1 was
instructed to say to Senator Jones'that
we hid £2,500 subject to his order, con
ditioned upon his holding the Lowndes
county .delegation in the conrt-room As
sembly. Learning that Jones was at
tending a colored ball, I seat J. N. Beach
to interview him and report. Sandy
Byrum, iTohnC. Hendrix and myself were
selected to watch the Lowndes county
reDreseniatives, except Hunter, all night.
Just before day Assistant 6ergeant-at
arms, Dae Norwood, came out of the
house where they were staying and I
gave him five dollars to return to wake
them up and tell them that I wanted to
see them. They came out and we went
to tho Madison House where Spencer
had ordered c. breakfast for their especial
benefit. I then went to Spencer’* room
and informed kim that I had them. He
told me to conduct them to his worn,
which I did. E iold them that Speocer
had made up his mind to give each of
them an appointment, and Spencer, who
was present, promised them route agen
cies.
During the night I left Byrum on the
watch and went to Spencer’s room to
4ho two churches, were announced: Rev.
8. H. Myers, D. D„ Rev. ILK. Hargrove,
JO. D., Rev. ThooiM M. Finney, D. D-,
•and Hon. TanstenFolk of Missouri, and
Hon. David Clop ton, laymen.
Richmond, Va^ May 13.—A. special to
LcTiende3 county for Bryant. Bryant ar
rived tho next day, and, as I understood,
received $300 from Hinds. This seemed
to fir tho Lowndes county delegation all
right. Tho Legislature convened that
morning. The Lowndes county delega
tion were present and voted for Spencer.
Many members from other counties
were promised offices. I was authorized
by Spencer to promise members as many
offices as I might think necessary to se
cure their support. It was understood
that Calvin Goodloe wa3 to get a Federal
appointment, and that at the proper time
ho wa3 to join tho Court-room Legisla
ture and vote for Spencer. Meanwhile,
he was to remain in a position to have
access to, and the confidence of, the Cap
itol Assembly, until his vote was neces
sary at the Court-room Legislaturo to
elect Senator Spencer. Ho ascertained
all he could of their movements by going
to the rooms of members of that body
and leading them into conversation, and
reported to Spencer. We tried constant
ly to defeat a quorum of tho Capitol
Legislature, and I was given to under
stand that the plan had succeeded by
disaffecting two members and drugging
another to insensibility. I was given to
understand that Mr. S. was to be drug
ged, and was afterwards informed that
ho had been drugged and was lying
somewhere insensible. This was the
night before the day fixed by law for the
election of United States Senator, when
the Capitol Assembly would proceed to
elect cn that day. I learned that the
drugged member was still lying insensi
ble.
Witness then proceeds to detail how
Parker and Chisholm, two men from dis
tant counties, generally known to have
been not elected, were sent for and in
duced, by the promise of office, to enter
the Court-room Legislature, as repre
sentatives of their respective counties,
and proceeds as follows: Baker was ap
pointed Clerk of the House Committee
on Internal improvement by George Dus-
tan, the chairman. He told mo that he
had also been promised a Federal ap
pointment, and ho was afterwards ap
pointed United States Marshal for the
Northern District of Alabama. After
tho consolidition of tho two Legisla
tures Chisholm was appointed to a posi
tion in the Custom-house in Mobile.
In the Miller-Martin contest for a
seat in the consolidated Senate, it wa3
decided by the friends of Spencer, the
managers before referred to, that Mil
ler should be seated. This was to be
accomplished by sustaining Lieutenant
Governor McKinstrey’s ruling3 whatever
they may be. In order to secure the
success of this plan and get McKin
stry to make such rulings a3 would
seat Miller before the absent Democratic
Senator could return, it was necessary,
wo thought, for McKinstry so to rule
as to cut off all debate and secure a
final vote. It was thought that if Mc
Kinstry so ruled the Democratic Sena
tor would either bolt or fight. To pro
vide for the latter contingency, picked
men were, by agreement, in the lobby
of tho Senate Chamber. Among these
wero W. H. Betts, Chas. Pelham, Sam
Olin, M. G. Candee, Milo Barber, J. J.
Hinds, and a rough from Georgia, whose
name I did not know, and somo five or
six other whose names I cannot remem
ber. I don’t know that McKinstry
knew our plans; but ho knew the men
wo had stationed in the lobby, and wo
believed that ho would so rule as to seat
Miller at all hazards, and that ho would
be strengthened by their presence. The
purpose was to shew him that ho bad
friends there who would hack him. We
apprehended some dilatory action by tho
Democrats which would prevent final ac
tion until the return of absent Demo
cratic Senator Edwards. It was there
fore necessary to have final action that
day and seat Miller before Edwards got
back.
In answer to a question as to what
means were used to induce Senator Gloss
to remain in Montgomery after Edwards,
with whom he had paired off on this
question, had left, witness said it was
understood that Gloss was to pair with
Edwards on this question j that the two
shonld go the depot and at the same,
and that Glos3 shonld thence return to
the city seemingly or apparently un
known to Edwards, the idea being to
make others believe that both men had
left at the same time. Both did go tho
depot at the some time, but Glos3 return
ed and was secreted in a room at tho Mad
ison House. To give him an excuse for
violating his plcdgo, I served a subpama
on him to appear as a witness in some
case in which Charles Pelham was attor
ney. I found A. E. Baker acting as hi3
doorkeeper, and Baker, at my request,
handed Gloss the writ. Gloss was kept
out of sight until tho vote wa3 being
taken in tho Miller-Martin contest, when
he was informed by a signal given from
tho front of tho Capitol that his presence
was required. He appeared in the Sen
ate chamber and gave his vote for the
seating of Miller. I understood that ho
was to bo paid three or four hundred dol
lars for breaking faith with Edwards.
Nashville, May 12.—Tho collego of
bishops of tho Methodist Episcopal
Church South, which has been in session
for several days past, before adjourning

will prove of permanent advantage to tho
patient.

A Noble Vokm,
Ft fis -difficult to estimate the sublime
fortituSe and powers of endurance, of
which 4he weaker sex are-capable. What
would-drive a strong man to desperation
aad'pechaps suicide, m meekly submitted
tob-eni j-ist at the point where the latter
succumbs, the sprightly (heaven-support
ed female comes grandly to the rescue,
and’Cfttimes saves husbacd, father and
chilcben. We hate seen toia evinced in
the history of the grand-daughter of one
of'Washington’s favorite generals, when
in-the deepest vale of poverty and adver
sity, and very recently-in another strik
ing -instance which it msy not be unin
teresting to relate.
<0ur heroine was gently born, and
nursed in the lap of luxury. The young
est daughter of a widowed and opulent
mother, sho wa3 spoiled and petted from
early infancy, and never tought those
practical duties which attack to the ma
ternal head of the household. Through
college she passed like a butterfly, sip,
ping siToets from every flower and main-
tiiningu, creditable stand, not by severe
study or .application, but the mere force
of a brilliant intellect which grasped in
tuitively carery thing that was presented
to it.
Afterwards, at the very opening of the
war she gave hand and heart to a worthy
young neighbor and they wero united in
marriage.
Time passed on—tho husband, a sur
geon, did his devoirs faithfully in the
army, and after many trials and vicissi
tudes surrendered with the Confederate
army m North Carolina. Once more
united, they found negroes, bank stock,
and their entire fortune engulfed in the
maelstrom which swallowed np the wealth
and resources of the South.
The husband went to work and did his
best, but like many others wa3 forced to
yield to the pressure of the panic, and
very soon they were almost penniless.
Then came the opportunity which de
veloped the latent powers of this erst?
while, spoiled, and helpless woman. In
place of giving way to her troubles, with
Spartan firmness she resolved to devote
her life and every energy to the cause of
her distressed husband and little one3.
Supernumerary servants were dismiss
ed, articles of luxury dispensed with, tho
whole economy of the house overhauled
and remodelled, and tho faithful mother
essayed at length also to learn the use of
tho needle. Diligently sho strove to
manufacture the numberless garments of
no less than six helpless children, taking
time, however, to teach tho younger ones,
and working like a bee in the vegeta
ble and flower garden. In the mean
while she was tho - support and stay of
the despondent husband, carrying sun
light into every nook and cranny of their
humble home. As a result, they are
respected and happy, and by the blessing
of God wo trust will again see better
days.
Now what sublimer spectacle on earth
than this can be presented ? That gen
tle wife i3 more to bo admired, and real
ly greater than the hero of a hundred
battles? Sho ha3 conquered self, risen
superior to the direst strokes of adversi
ty-comforted her husband—eked out
his means—tenderly watched over
her children, and accepts without
murmur the hard lot an all-wise
Providence has assigned to her.
What more could she do? And with
pride we make tho record that there arc
thousands of similar examples of exalted
fernalo worth to be found in every por
tion of the South.
Who, then, can despair of our future ?
A Word that Was Not in Order
The Charleston News and, Courier pro
faces its reporc of Saturday’s proceed
ings of tho Southern Baptist Convention
by tho recital of tho following incident
that occurred during a former session of
the Convention in Charleston. Dr. Mell
was President of the Convention at the
time:
When the Southern Baptist Conven
tion mot in Baltimore, in the year 1863,
the fraternal message of tho Northern
Baptist Convention was being discussed,
and the venerable Dr. Welch, of New
York, had tho floor, and during a frater
nal, loviDg and conciliatory speech, in
which ho was endeavoring to show that
ho did not censure his Southern brethren
harshly for their course during tho war,
as Southerners, he observed: “Why,
brother president, if I had been living in
tho South, such aro the impulses of my
heart, that I should, no doubt, have been
one of tho leaders of tho rebellion l”
Instantly, at tho utterance of the lost
word, down came tho President’s gavel
sharply, and Dr. Mell said, in his firmest
but most courteous tones, “the chair
rules that word out of order on this
floor.” *
“Why, brother president, what shall I
call it then, sir?” meekly asked Dr.
Welch.
“Tho chair will not presume to dictate,
sir.huthe insists upon his ruling, that
tho word ‘rebellion,’ in that connection,
is out of ordrer. Ho shall so hold unless
you appeal from tho decision of tho chair.
Do you appeal, sir ?”
“No, brother president, I do not ap
peal,” responded Dr. Welch meekly, and
thero wero not a few staunch adherents
of tho late “so-called Southern Confed
eracy” present, who inwardly rejoiced
that in any respectablo body the werd
'rebellion” could bo ruled out of order.
Apropos of tho convention it adjourned
Monday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The
moat important occurrence of the session
was tho resignation of Dr. M. T. Sumner,
who has been corresponding secretary of
tho Board of Home Missions for more
than sixteen years, and tho election of
Dr. Basil Manly, of Georgetown, Ky., to
succeed him.
Tho following officers of tho Conven
tion were also elected:
President—E. T. Winkler, Alabama.
Vice Presidents—T. W. Patterson,
Maryland ; T. P. Lido, Sr., South Caro
lina; R. H. Brown, Louisiana; G. R.
French, North Carolina; B. Ely, Mis
souri ; John M. Beggs, Florida; J. C. C.
Black, Georgia; Thomas D. Toy, Vir
ginia; J. Lawrence Smith, Kentucky;
W. B. Hardy, Mississippi; C. K. Win
ston, Tennessee; W. E. Penn, Texas ; L.
W. Lawler, Alabama.
Corresponding Secretary—Basil Manly.
Recording Secretary—W. E. Figuet.
Treasurer—J. B. Lovelace.
Auditor—S. H. Fowlkes.
Board of Managers—J. F. Bailoy, John
Moore, C. C. Huckabee, E. Q. Thornton,
W. W. Wilkerson, Porter King, D. A.
Pierson, J. B. Vaiden, J. T. Mnrfee, W.
K. Meaxwell, A. Lawson, T. J. Dill, Win.
F. Davis, J. H. Lee, W. T. McAllister.
The latsst assertion of the historical
iconoclasts is that documentary evidence
exists to prove that the Boston patriots
of 1773 emptied nothing but painted oats
into the harbor, the British tea being
token ashore and economically used in
the ordinary way.
A ItMMwrry Farw.
We had the pleasure yesterday, through
the kindness Dr. A. P. Collins, of vis
iting Mr. <k. C. Collins’ strawberry farm,
near the oity. The berries grown upon
this fane have become noted in this and
other markets for their size and excellent
flavor. We do not think their equal finds
their way into this market, and wc had
some-curiosity to see how they are grown.
Mr. Collins’ farm is to the right of
VineriUe, nearly north of the city, and
just beyond the Vineville branch. It is
on the side of a hill, sloping a little north
of ecst, and reaching-down to tha branch,
where there is some very good bottom
land, which is only (partially drained and
utilised. The land on the elope, where
i the main portion of his vines are, doe3
not appear to be very fertile; bat has a
fair hedy, though it is somewhat reeky
and candy like'most of the soil around
Macon.
Hr. Collins ha3 about three acres of
this land in berries and now bearing, and
an additional acre and a half of vines, very
handsome and thrifty, are coming on, and
will be in hearing next year. His selec
tionsiof varieties are the finest to be had
after aa experience -of several years in
their culture. A few years ago Mr. Col
lins ordered out nineteen varieties of
strawberry, all of which were highly
commended. Several of these varieties—
in fact a majority of them—ho found,
after a fair trial, to be worthless, and he
discontinued their culture. Those which
gave him entire satisfaction, and which
he propagates most largely are the Col.
Cheney, the Jucunda, the Wilton Albany,
the Triomphe De Gaud, the Peak Emperor,
and Barnes’ Uammolh. All of these he
finds to be hardy, prolific and finely
flavored—in fact they answer all the re
quirements of a good berry, and he finds
their cultivation profitable.
Mr. Collins is now gathering from 400
to 600 quarts of beme3 a day, which be
finds ready sale for in Macon, Savannah
and Atlanta. He employs twenty hands
in picking them, consisting mainly of
women and children. The vines aie
loaded with berries, and look os if they
will be for two months to come. His
finest variety—the Jucunda—will not be
gin to ripen fora fortnight yet.
Some of these vines bore freely daring
tho winter. Mr. Collins marked some
that yielded the greatest number of ber
ries on the first of January, and those
vines are fullest now. This fact contra'
diets the opinion entertained by some
that the hearing of the vines in mid-win
ter, operates against an abundant yield at
the proper season.
The County Hospital.
Probably not one-tenth of tho people
of the county are aware of what an excel
lent home those persons have whose in
digent circumstances throw them upon
the county for a support. A hospital is
looked upon as a place more or les3 loath
some, because of the many forms of dis
ease with which the inmates are afflicted,
and an almshouse is, at best, regarded as
the home of squalor and wretchedness
and never over cleanly. But the Bibb
county hospital, while answering the
joint purposes of an almshouse and a hos
pital, is neither a loathsome nor a squalid
looking place; but on the contrary is one
of the cleanest and tidiest places in Ma
con. Alady may dres3 in white muslin and
walk through every building on the prem
ises without over soiling her trail. The
floors ore as white as scouring can
make them; the words are pictures
of cleanliness; the ^kitchen is clean a3
most parlors are; the bunks, with their
snow-white sheets and pillows and clean
spreads, almost tempt one to lie upon
them and toko a snooze. This same air
of cleanlinoss is apparent in the white
and black, and male and female quarters
and extends to the inmates themselves
and to all the grounds belonging to tho
hospital; and to finish the clean appear
ance of things all the buildings of every
kind on the premises, and all tho fences
ore as white 03 lime can make them,
inside and out, and are kept so all the
while.
The garden attached to the hospital is
the best ono in the county. We know
of no market garden that equals it. It
gives every sign of the most skillful cul
tivation, and the season never produced
finer vegetables than are now growing
luxuriantly in it. There are cabbages
two feet and a half across, beets four
inches in diameter, onions * almost
_ large, and nil other vegetables
proportionately luxuriant. Thoro is an
aero and a half in this garden. We
passed over the whole of it and did not
see a weed. Cleanlinoss reigns there
also.
fit, s. S. Harman, the steward of _ the
institution, is unquestionably the right
man in the right place. The excellent
management of the institution is mainly
due to his untiring industry. He seldom
leaves tho premises upon any pretext
whatever, hut gives his whole time and
labor to it, and manages everything with
the strictest economy. He gives an ac
count of the disposition of everything
that goes there, and by his care and
thrift materially lessens the expense of
tho support of the poor.
Wo have never been more agreeably
surprised than when we visited the in
stitution, for wo were not expecting to see
anything half so excellent in all its ar
rangements, so beneficent and liberal in
its charity, and so completely fulfilling
all the ends aimed at. More of the peo
ple ought to visit it.
' The Hemedy.
To escape tho worthless abominations
offered under tho title of Flavoring Ex
tracts and Baking Powders, rests wholly
with the consumers, they are tho ones
that have to suffer. Purchase only those
articles you know by experience to be
pure. Look upon cheap goods as an evi
dence of their adulteration and worthless
ness, upon those that dealers complain
of as being too high to keep for salo as
an argument in their favor; for good,
nure goods cannot be sold as cheap as
worthless ones, and afford a less profit to
manufacturer and dealers. Dr. Price’s
True Flavoring Extracts and Cream
Baking Powder are acknowledged by
chemists to be tho purest, and the only
scientifically prepared articles of their
kind in tho market, and aro now used in
a million homes, and daily increasing in
popular favor.
A Correction.
The following note explains itself. We
are glad to add another to the list of live
veterans of the Macon Volunteers. If
there are others who have had an un
timely taking off in the same way we
hope they will resurrect themselves, and
be placed right on the record:

THE LADIES* MEMORIAL ASSOCI
ATION.
Annual Financial Statement.
It is very well known to «nr people
that the ladies, who toiled so heroic illy
in hospitals and soldiers’ relief associa
tions daring the war, aiding materially
in sustaining and encouraging the sol
diers in the field, ameliorating their con
dition, and providing comforts for them
which the government never coaid have
provided,immediately after theway chang
ed their organizations into memorial asso-
ciatons, for the purposo of honoring the
memory of those who died for the Confed
eracy. Tho ladies of Macon joined their
sisters of tho South in this movement,
and for years they have been laboring
patiently to accumulate means sufficient
to erect a monument to perpetuate their
love for the soldiers who fell in battle.
The process of raising this money been
a elow one, but each year adds something
to the fund, and the ladies, with undaunt
ed ardor, are as patient and hopefnl as
ever, believing that they will ultimately
see their wish accomplished. We believe
they wilL Labor is never suffered to go
long without its reward, hence we have
faith that their purpose will be finally
gained, and the result will be a beautiful
monument which will not only bear trib
ute to the valor and patriotism of the
Southern soldiers, but to the love and de
votion of the Southern women. In hon
oring'tho dead soldiers, the ladie3 are
unwittingly honoring themselves ; for it
i3 the highest typo of civilization which
i3 most careful of the memory of its
dead.
Below wo publish a statement of the
financial condition of tho Memorial As
sociation, and we hope that before anoth
er memorial day the sum will be increas
ed to an amount sufficient to authorize
the commencement of the work. The
report covers the time from the autumn
of 1870 to tlie present, about fonr and a
half years :

The Jackson Artillery Concert.
The first gift concert for tho benefit of
tho Jackson Artillery came off in Rals
ton Hall lost night, and was an entire
success. The hall was jammed with
people until there was barely room
enogh to shovo in tho blade of a jack
knife. Some went to enjoy the concert,
but more felt a deeper interest in the dis
tribution of the prizes than they did in
the music. ' -
The concert was all that wa.3 antiepated
of it; but it could not havb been other
wise than excellent under the "direction
of Prof. Bakowitz. We have neither tho
time nor the space to make any special
mention of the different performers.
The drawing took place immediately
after the concert; and was conducted in
I manner that satisfied every ono present
of its entire fairness. Daring the draw
ing, as the numbers and prizes were
called out, tbe crowd. manifested au in
terest which amounted almost to excite
ment, and tho announcement of the
larger prizes wa3 greeted with applause.
