o! the bins and gray, which will occur
next August at Cambridge, Onio. It will
be a renion of tho soldier, and sailors of

shows that the organization it just what
it professes to be. It is a really concilia

A Sensation Spoiled.—Under this

vertently made reoemly, concerning Mr.
Jaoob L mi*. Ia order that that gentle
man, woo is a worthy cittern, may be set
right, we ooi-y from the Dispatch as fol

“Tne young lady was not accompanied
bx.her mutoer and brother, but by a aia-
"tar and nepuew of M . Louie. Sue did
not advertise for a husband, and her

IXonit, la M .con, where it had been ar.
Jraugej that the marriage oeremony
should be performed. Mr. Lonts does
not lire about fourteen miles from Haw-
kin,villa. The distance is only eigut or
jilae miles. There is no stage line ran-
sing from Hawkinsville in any diree’ion.
There are eaveral mail routes leading
from the place, bat the mail poaches are
transported m buggies. Mr. Louis is not
“an old wreck of humanity,” neither is
he an “old ous?,” bnt is in middle life,
sprightly and sufficiently qualified for a
husband. Io regard to his financial stand
ing, we will state that he is an enter*
prising, successful merohant and farmer,
and has one of the best homes in South
ern Georgia. In fset, one acre of his
-plantation would support all the ground
moles in Fulton county. And further,
'when Mr. Lotus arrived in Maaon, he pro
ceeded to & jewelry store, where he pur
chased, for case, jewelry to the amount
of two hundred aod fifty ’dollars, which
■wSr intended to present to his bride.

I/onis his money and take back the jew-

‘hat be didn’t care for the money, and
tat the jewelry would do for some other
Oman. * ' . ' . r
The fact*, aa publiahed ia the Dispatch
ta*t week, in regard to the affair, are
substantial,y correot, and we will only
■gam slate that the.dieagreement sprang
from the fact that the young lady du.rired

“Agreed to Disagree.”—Oglethorpe
Echos One of the strangest cues of obsti
nate determination we eTer heard of
reached our ears this week. More than
twenty years ago, frsm some cause un
known to the inquisitive public, a man
and wife m this connty—good people—
stopped speaking to or having anything
to do with each other, but continued to
occupy the same house and eat &6 the
same common table. They had a large
family of children, bnt even these failed
to draw the parents nearer together. For
over twenty long years this worthy pair
have preserved this nnaoconntable silence
to each other. To their children and
others they are pleasant and oommuni-
cative. As their relatives and descend
ants are numbered among onr best citi
zens we suppress names.

so rapidly that it was impossible with

Sprrdy Justios.—Gainesville Bogle:
Mr. John 8atterfield, a young farmer of
White county, started early one morning
last week from his home to visit the city.
He bad made very good time, and at an
early hoar reached the suburbs of town,
and was riding leisurely along, undis
turbed by care or any thought of ooming
trouble. He had with him, doubtless for
proteotion, a small pistol; hRl no oppor
tunity had bven - piuseutn'for fling it,
and, mere to bear the report, perhaps,
than anything else, he took it from hie
pocket and blued away at the trees as he
rode along. He did not observe, however,

tbe Struggle— i be Abolition ol
Si-V ry a orsat Benefit.
Tne Bostoa Herald of 8unaay publish
es an interview with Jtff-rson D vvis. Af
ter speaking of his expeiienceB in Preroe’s
Cabinet and the Mexican war, Mr. Davis
was led to express b<m.elf upon the late
rebellion, saying: “It is generally be
lieved in the North that I am chiefly re
sponsible for that great calamity. I was
bat one of a vast body of the South, and
no more responsible than thousands of
others. The war would have taken place
without me as inevitably us it did with
me. It was one cf tbo*e things which
was sore to come in the progress of events
and in solving great problems of govern
ment upon tins continent.” He conceded
expressly that tbe abolition ot slavery
wou,d prove an nltimite good to the
connlry; that it was a mauifeat advan
tage to the white race, for it would lead
to the development of the South, and
multiply her manufacturing anu mcchan
ioai industries. From advantages ot cli
mate alone, the future of tho South is
more promising than that of any other
section of the country, bat the condition
of the present generation of the black
race is all the worse by the reason of the
nbolition of elavery.
Mr Davis doubts very mnoh the wis
dom of an attempt to ednoate the negro,
and utterly disbelieves iu giving him (he
ballot. It was his opinion that wberever
tbe negro rase was found it mnst be an
inferior and servile raoe, and in the long
ran wonld give way to the superior rase
Huder any and all circamstanoes. Mr.
Davis aoknowlsdges, however, that he
nad changed bis mind entirely upon one
question, viz: that tha greatetaplesof
tbe Sooth—cotton and sugar—oonld be
produced with greater economy and in
greater abnndanoa by paid labor than by
tbe labor of slaves. This has already
been demonstrated, and that faot alone
goes far to prove the advantage whioh the
abolition of slavery has been to the
wnitee. . *
Referring to the political statns of the
negro, Mr. Davis said tho freed men had
naturally been misled by politicians,
thinking that Northern men were their
truest friends, bnt of late years they
seemed to have reached the opposite con
clusion, and in the long ran it wonld be
fonnd that the negro, having but little
real self-dependence, wonld vote in ac
cordance wi'h the wishes and sentiments
or tboae who employ him.
For this reason the negro vote would be
a ifsa important faotor in the politics of
the fntare than rorthern men supposed.
Returning to tbe oft reiterated ohargea of
coercion and bulldozing, of negro voters,
ne sain that no doubt there were individ
ual instances of ornelty and coercion on
tha part of lawless men in eome sections,
bur. be believed the prevailing sentimont
among southern men was onu of the great
est kindness and good will towaid their
former slaves. Speaking of national af
fairs, he said he accepted the situation aa
decided oy arbitrament of the sword, and
tbet he was very bopefal of the fatare of
theconntry, He did cot believe there
was any existing cause for sectional es-
i rang mentor that there conld be any here
after.
Oue of the results of the war already
apparent, is that tbe South was less de
pendent upon the North than heretofore;
tor while she conld supply great etaples
»B before, her people had began to pro
duce a greater variety of crops for their
own nee than before, and they would
eventually compete with other sections
in manufactures and mechanical arts. In
this connection he remarked that the
Sooth was destitute of money and the
▼aloe of real estate was greatly depress
ed. In a very short time tho price of
landed property wonld advance because
of its intrinsic value in the production of
staple articles of commerce. He remark
ed that the only disturbing elements to
be dls&erned now were tbe efforts of ox*
tremists upon both sides to keep alive
animosities and hatreds of the past.
If Congress wonld pnrsno a moderate
course, and attend to its legitimate du
ties of general legislation for the good of
the whole country, all the great social
and industrial questions whioh are now h
source sf so mnen contention would settle
themselves, and the country would be at
peace.
In conclusion, he said: “Ton may as
sore your people that I have no unkind,
ness in my heart to them or any cf the
people of the North. I am not the devil

St Marts, Ga Marc. 31,1879.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Our
pleasant little “city by the sea” wss the
scene of a most disastrous conflagration
on Sunday abont 12 o’clock. The town
mills of Fox & Barns (formerly 8. L.
Barns & Co.), large double-gang saw
mills, together with their extrnnvo
wharfs, large carpenter shop, blacksmith
shop, foundry, machine shop, containing
lathes, planers, drill presses and a fail
■took of costly tools, all of which ware
entirely consumed or destroyed. The
fire originated from a slab-pit over 500
feet from the mills and communicated to
a vast pile of saw-dnst filling the entire
space from tbe elab-pit to tbe mills, The
wind, blowing almost a gale from the
west, started tne fire, and the saw-dnst
was extremely dry. The handsome new
■team propeller “Gladiator” was fastened
to the wharf in a direct line of the fire,
hot was fortnnately cat loose and allow
ed to drift one of the way. The “Ath-
Ie r *a new and fine steamboat, and also
the “Flora Temple,” were movea away
and saved. The handsome new residence
just finished and occupied by Mr. T. D.
Hawking, the owner of the celebrated
Stafford place, on Cumberland Island,
was in great peril, and severely scorched
and blistered, bnt was saved by aotive
exertions of citizens, and at the most
critical moment by the wind veer
ing a conple of points, sending tbe flames
away from the street, ont parallol with
tbe river front, consuming tho ways of
the ship yard aud other warehouses on
the wharfs. This is tho fifth time Mr.
Barns has lost property by fire in St.
Marys (an ominous name) and the seoond
large saw mill since the war. There
are only two mills remaining here now,
one ot F.'X & Burns and the other of W.
B, Van Yal konburg.
Messrs. F-x & Burns will not rebuild,
the times aud prices of lumber will not
admit of it. St. Marys was stead
ily improving and increasing, bnt
we fear this calamity will hare a
depressing effect on the general pros
perity, so many men with dependant
tamiliea are thrown ont of employment

Washington, April 5.—Mr. 8parks, of
Illinuie, called attention to an article in
tho Chicago Inter-Ocean containing an
account of an interview with President
Hayes by Davis, of Ohicago, in which
tbo latter gave assurance'that the Presi>
dent wonld stand firmly by the Rspnbli
cans. He (Davis) said that he had waited
npon tho President, as requested, and
that there ia so reason to believe that tke
President will disappoint the loyal people
of tbe conntry. For himself (Davis) he
was “enlisted for the war.”
Sparks went on to say that it appeared
that the President aeemed to have some
spinal disease which rendered it necessary
for tbe stalwart members of bis party to
try to cure it. He asked fair-minded
men to read the articles published in the
great, metropolitan jonrnai of the north
west, and say whether there was not an
effort made there to coerce the President
into tbe extreme measures ot the extreme
members oi tha party; and yet, in spite of
ail that, the city of Chicago had jnat given
a Democratic majority ot 4,823 to Carter
HarriBoa—*‘onr own Carter" he called
him—and tbat was characterized by the
Chicago Inter-Ocean as a “Viotory for
Democrats and nowhng rebels.” (Lmgh
ter.)
In pl&oe of patting ramrods into the
President's bsokbane all marrow nnd
stiffness had been taken ont of tha Re,
pnblioans. That Demooratio viotory in
Chicago was the first popular response
from a Republican city, and it was start
ling in its ohsraoter.
Caswell, of WiBOonsin, reminded
Sparks that on the same day Wisconsin
had given an increased Rapnblioan ma
jority of over 6 000. To that Bragg, or
Wisconsin, responded in a manner tbat
elicited load applaass from the Demo,
oratio side.
Tnen Chittenden, of New York, made
an impassioned speech, sneering at the
Greenbackers, and telling the Democrats
that their present policy was in favor cf
desperadoes, bulldozers and blioklegs at
the polls.
Washington, April 5.—The amend
ment offered yesterday by Mr. New, of
Indiana, that the repeal shall not abridge
or affeot the right or duty of the Execu
tive to respond io the call of the State
Legislature or Governor, was agreed to
by a vote of 85 to 4, the Republicans re,
frainmg from voting on either side.
Lowe, of Alabama, moved to strike
ont seotion 6 from the bill, and Mr. Con
ger, of Michigan, suggested to thu other
side of the Home that if that were done
his side wonld aid them in passing the
amendment immediatelr, wlt'ient debate
on the separate bill repealing entirely the
so-called objectionable seotions of the
statutes. Mr. McMahon, of Ohio, speak
iug for nimself, repudiated the proposi
tion.
The Honse Committee on RaleB, who
have had nnder consideration the propo
sition to increase the membership of aev
oral of the most important standing com
mittees of the Honse, met this morning
and authorised Mr. Blackbnrn to report
to the Home in favor of increasing the
Committee on Elections from eleven, aa
in the last Congress, tu thirteen, the
Committee en Appropriation from eleven
to fifteen, the Committee on Commerce
from eleven to fifteen, tho Judiciary Com
mittee from eleven to fifteen, the Com
mittee cn Agriculture from eleven te fif
teen, and fixing the membership of the
Committee on Enrolled Bills at seven in
stead of nine, as at last session. The
proposition to iscreasa the Committee on
Printing was considered, bnt it was fonnd
that the law fixed the membership of that
committee at three, in conformity with
the like committee of the Sanate—the two
to act jointly when by so doing measure?
referred to them can be belter facilitated.
The Committee took no action on the
proposed distribution of the several an
nual appropriation bills among tbe com
mittees having like snbjeets in charge,
bnt it is very pr ubable that when th»
question of increasing the Committee on
Appropriations is laid before the Honse
some oontroveasy will arise, and that
those favoring a division of the work of
the Appropriations Committee will pro
pose to oommtt to the military commit
tee appropriations for tbe army and all
branehe* of the military ssrviee; to the
Naval Committee approps ationsfor tbe
naval service; to the Committee on Gem-
meree appropriations relating to navi
gation, etc.
In oomse of the debate Cox, of New
York, staud tbat be bad in the Demo-
oratio council* favored the repeat of ob
noxious measures in an independent (hill,
bat that he nad been overraled, and ih«t
he had acquiesced in the sdperior wisdom,

He expeeted th*t, if the President vetoed

Many of onr readers will remember
that aboat two years; ago some United
States troops mods a raid into the a-juu'
tains of Northeast Georgia for the phi-
pose of ferreting out aod breaking up ifce
illicit distilleries whioh abounded in that
region, and that Lieutenant McIntyre,
tbe offioer in obarge, was killed in a fight
with the offenders. He was •$< ting in a
house cf a man named Ayres Janes, after
night, when a party, composed of Jones
and his fneuds, crept up near the door
and fired a volley into the honse, whioh
did the fatal wotk.
For a time strong efforts were mods to
oapture the guilty parties, bnt owing to
the nature of the country, it being very
mountainous aud difficult of aocess, and
affording numerous hiding places to the
natives, all efforts proved tntile. A large
reward was offered by the government
for tbe murderers, bnt ell hope of ever
bringing them to justice seems to have
bees abandoned. The affair bad almon
died oat and been forgotten, until it was
given renewed interest on Tuesday even
ing last, when United States Deputy
Marshal J. B. G*ston and Mr. J-imes
Findley, of this City, - triumphantly
marched in with Ayres Jones, the Very
man in whose honse Lieutenant Moln-
tvre was killed, beside* another impor
tant prisoner, Joe Whitt, an illicit distil
ler, who boasts cf being a “walking gro-
oery,” and of having “boiled a revenue
offioer in his kettle in Alabama.” Meet
ing Mr. Gaston on Wednesday we quea
tioned him abont his important oaptures
and learned ihe following facts :
He and Mr. Findley had been working
np the matter for three monthB, and on
last Friday morning they started to makb
the arreet, having spotted their bird.
They rode three days, and on Snnday
evening abont snndown arrive at what
is known in that section as Frog Moun
tain, in Fannin connty. Here they stop
ped at a honse, and learning that it
would be impossible for them to travel
farther on horsss, they prepared to make
the rest of the trip, seven miles, ou foot
Having secured tha assistance of Mr.
Webb Findley oafore, they now summon
ed another man, and started out After
some vigorous walking for abont three
hours over mountains and through all
sortB of gloomy, desolate places, they
came near
looking for
night. This place was in a lonely seclu
ded region, shut off from all the world,
except to foot travelers, aud Mr. Gaston
■ays was suggestive of deeds dark and
devilish. It required a stout heart to
prosecute the venture even at night and
when their mission was not known. The
place is aboat three miles from the Ten
nessee line, in the corner where Georgia,
Tennessee and North Carolina join. To

bondholders’ committe®, said ecflo
cally that the 50 per cent. propo»:ti«‘
the Tennessee Legislature wcatd nct»j
accepted by the bondholder*. Tci c®
mittee had sent a eommunica’.icn W*|
Tennessee Senate last week wk®'
new bill was pending, protestin' li
the assumption that the b»!hl'
would accept any settlement at ln>
60 cents on the dollar.
Jones told him there were but ten fami
lies residing in ten square miles
of territory, that he never saw a
larger place than Morganton, that his
children, most of them grown, never saw
a negro, and tba\ daring the whole war,
he hardly knew it was going on.
Arriving then at the place the man
whom they had summoned was stationed
a short distance from the house and the
other three went forward. When abont
fifty yards off, a dog discovered them and
raised the alarm. They made a rush
therefore, two on one side of the house
and one on the other, and falling against
tho doors, whioh were of thin plank, they
burst in before the inmates conld scaroely
awake from their slumbers. A bright
fire was burning inside, and it was bnt
the work of a moment for them to seize
Jones and pull him from the bed. There
was a large piBtol in the bed and a rifle
near by. Mr. Gaston secured these,
though he had a sharp acuffl,
with Jones’ wife before he got the
pistol. While he waa thus engaged
the other two handcuffed Jones and they
were scon prepared to start. Then came
what was, perhaps, the most dangerous
part of tbe undertaking—getting ont of
that country safely with their man. Id
tbe house at the time of the capture wera
three sons and the daughters of Jones.
Mr. Gaston tried to keep these in the
housa while he was there, bnt somehow
one of the boys escaped and it was enp-
poaed he would trv immediately to raise a
crowd to rescue his father. Mr. Gaston
and his party walked rapidly OTer the
seven miles to where they had left their
horses and then rode fourteen miles
by daybreak next morning. Theytrav-
ei-d abont thirty miles on that day,
Monday, bnt it was not till Tuesday
teat they felt safe. It was evident that
Jones expected a re*cu», too, for he was
in fine spirits till fifty miles intervened
between him and his home. This wa* a
perilous adventure, and these gentlemen
deserve great credit for their nerve and
*kdl in the matter. Jonee and Whitt were
placed in jail here Wednesday night end
guarded and were carried'te Atlanta yes
terday. J owe* i of coarse, denies that he
had any band in tbe shooting of Lieut.
McIntyre. He sayo he was killed in bis
boose but be was cot abort there end
was sorry when die heard it- We under-
stand, however, that Sbaf evidence is
strong against him and the witnesses are

ence a little “pendulous suffocation."

III Acceptance by tbe Bendhsl
era mol rrobiblr,
New York American Eithanjre, Airill]
In conversation with sn Amendsh
change reporter, yesterday, Mr. E.;is
Kelly, Chairman of the comtmt:fci(&
Tennessee bondholders, said he d.41
think that thu bondholders road icq;
the proposition of tbo Tcnse-Mt; bpi
lature for the settlement of tbs cthi
fifty per cent, of the ptincip*l anl l.rl
per cent, interest per annum. Tstittl
of Tennessee was abundintly avis J jd
the entire amount of her d(b:; dim
belter able to pay than Virgiuu; tlcSi
was smaller 'h»a the iuttet’o ium4|
nets, and taxation was very light. Til
fcoQ ttolJers had offered to ao.vpt etiiJ
sixty cents on tbo do lu with sum
cent, interest or the principal at nun
oent., but the Legislature propose J
cut down the debt fifty per can-, uudikl
reduce the rate of interest. |
Tne bondholders were gittsScl till
they could sue the State, un-ler a ijul
provision made when tho cooii uq
isrfctd, aud toey also believa that iJ
bonds were a lien on tha railro.iU rils]
nessee Under these circuui:tic. .-,l-'j
Kelly eaidj they were likely to be trail
their position, and reject tne rettirmisj
now offered. No provision h&< M
male by the L ‘gislature for the
security cf ihe State debt, and tbe teaI
holders could not trust to the creuri
the State. Louisiana had scslrSU
debt some time ago, and aow a fwMj
reduction was baing agitated. TbeTn
