counties, and every day new reports of
their appearance reach ns. This is the

large one. We hav8 not heard of any
damage done by them as yet, but as the

reasonable to soppose that they will do
considerable injury to the crop.”

Anoxhbe Jam Delivery itr Houston
Couxtt.—The Home Journal has the fol
lowing:
Saturday evening about sundown an
alarm was heard tn the direction of the
jail and a stream of citizens at once set
for that place. Oa reaching the scene of
action we learned that two prisoners had
just escaped and made their way suc
cessfully to Big Indian swamp. The
particulars are substantially aa follows :
Hr. Batner, the sheriff, went down at
the usual time to feed and water the
prisoners. There were six in jail, three
in each of the lower cella. He unlocked
ono cell after entering, and let out one of
the prisoners who wa3 in the habit of
drawing water, etc. Before the dcor
could be secured the other two rnshed ont
and seized him, throwing him down al
most in the oell. They demanded bis
pistol, eayingif he would give it up
they weald not hntt him. They then
violently tore it oat of his hip-pocket,
and as ho followed them to the door,
threatened to Bhoot him. The one who
was let out to draw water at once made
off, acd tbe one who had the pi3tcl fol
lowed as soon as he could get off. Tne
Surd prisoner was rcoaptnrei just out-
fde the jail and marched back to his
/ell by Mr. Butcer.
Every sheriff we have had since the
yar has at some time during his term of
Sffice been overpowered by tne prisoners,
Mr. Pierce was severely assaulted with a
bar of iron. Mr. Rainey, depnty sheriff,
waa forced to shoot a prisoner,not fatally,
in self-defense. Mr. Norwood was over,
powered in a manner almost identical
■with tha case of last Saturday.

Woods also makes this deliverance:
We cannot believe with the Atlanta
Constitution that parties are ready to lease
the Mao,n and Brunswick Railroad for
twenty years, at a rental of sixty thoui
and dollars a year, end extend the road
from Macon to Atlanta. Bat if a million
and one hundred and tweory.five thoua
and dollars oan be obtained for the road,
we say eell it, and let the State redeem
her bonds with the money. Or if the
road oan be sold for even one million
dollars, let it go, and apply tbe prooeeds
to tbe payment of the State’s bonds.
However, we have no idea the road
will be leased, and we shall be glad to
seo Col. Geo. W. Adams continue to man
age it. We think it would be well also
to apply tho net eirningB of the road to
the purchase of rolling stock, as it is
reported that the State ib paying parties

than that can be made. Lot the read use

As for Col. Adams, we can say that our

administration of the road. Hawkinsville
has never askhd him for a favor or a
courtesy that he has not cheerfully grant

The Defjob Murder—We find the
following In the Columbns Times, of yea
terday, in regard to this matter :
The quiet little village of Salem, on the
Western Rssd, was thrown into qnite a
state of excitement over the capture of a
negro, a few miles from there, who is
strongly suspected of being one of the
murderers of the sged oonpla near Atlan
ta a short while ago. Communications
from two different correspondents are be
fore ns in reference to the matter acd from
them we oondecse as foliowes:
Captain Simms and Mr. Hurst, of 8a-
lem, got the negr®, named Georgs Wil«
liams, in--the corner of the fence and
then produced both pistol and shot gun.
The negro grabbed the end of the gun
and rushed by them. Several shots were
fired, but aa the negro did not stop, it
was enppoeed that the shots did not take
effect. 1 ’
Oa Tuesday evening Captain Aldridge,
of the Atlanta police, arrived at Salem
and the fact was made known that a re
ward of {800 wag offered for the capture
of the murderers This added fual to
the flimcs and as it was reported that
Geo. Williams had passed through tha
lower part of the village, many men and
boys armed with guns, pistols and sticks
started out ia pursuit. Mr. Z. Lamb suc
ceeded in arresting him three miles
south of Salem. It was then found riiat
the negro had received a flesh wound in
the thigh. Ospt. Aldridge took the pris
oner in charge aDd left with him for At
lanta on yesterday’s morning train.
They stopped, however, at Opelika,
Awaiting a requisition from the Govern
or. While George Williams stoutly as
sorts his innocence, the Atlanta offioer Is
♦ertftin that the prisoner is connected
hi some wav with the horrible Defoor
mnrder. Further developments may
pore’bly arise.
The only evidence that ia publicly
known against the negro is that he was
seen to have a dirk knife in hia posses*
sion that was stained with blood, and
thet Saturday morning lost, in the union
passenger depot in this city, his wife was
eeen with a drawl that answ e a the des
cription of ths one which_ Mrs. Defoor
was seen to wear a short time before her
death. The shawl was wrapped around
a baby which she had in her arms. The
shawl and the dirk knife, as far as we
know, have not been secured.
Has the editor of the Gainesville Eagle
been to Atlanta recently, and did he,
whiis there, come to grief in any way?
We merely ask for information after
reading the following, which appears in
the lost issue of his paper:
Red Checks vs. Greasy OABDL—The
Atlanta Constitution of a few days sines
gives a graneloquent aooount of how the
able and efficient polios o£"the greatest
city in Georgia” swooped down upon a
low den of greasy negroes who were
drinking stale beer and playing seven up
with greasy cards, and yanked them into
the offiol&l hopper through which low-
flung grist muet pass to the justice mill.
The occasion was snoh a grand one that a
speoial reporter was detailed to aeoom-
pany the brave squad who were to swoop
down on sable sin and write up the affair
in all the grandeloqnent gorgeonsnesa
which so important a matter deserved.
The whole soene is given in that mag«
nifioent veiby vernacular for which tbe
average Atlanta reporter is so consplcn-
ous.
Ab, Justice! Oh, Law!—what farces
qre perpetrated in thy name I A few
blocks away from where these poor black
nickel flippers were playing a small fire
cent ante, the bright glare of the cut
glass chandeliers of tbe “Big Bonanza,”
the "Alhambra" and the "Girl of the Pe
riod” fell athwart the granite pavement.
Inside, instead of nickels, dollars by tbe
hundred were staked on the "green,” but
the efficient police and the astute reporter
pass these by. In there, gentlemen (?)
with diamond stad buttons, heavy chains
and clothes of the latest cat, staked red
checks and drank equally red bran
dy from cat glass decanters, and tbe
atmosphere was fragrant with the aroma
of the finest Havanas. In the den, the
miserable inmates, in lieu of red checks,
put down on the greasy table rusty nick
els; instead of old Otard imbibed stale
beer, and instead of a fragrant atmos
phere of "clear Havana; filling.” the air
reeked with the deleterious effluvia ef
fervescing from filthy cob pipes. The
efficient polios know nothing of the Bo
nanza, Alhambra or Girl of the Period,
while the brass star shines upon their
lappels, but with characteristic shrewd
ness and bravery swoop down npon the
poor Afrioan and incarcerate him, and
defer their visits to the "tones” places
nntil they are off duty.

The editor of the Walton county Vi
Jeffs has recently been to Atlanta, and
after looking in on the Senate, has some
thing to say about the make-up of that
body. We quote him as follows:
As a wlo'e the Senate is a body of men
above mediocrity but is some sests wo
saw the Hon. Potipbar Peagreen, unmis
takably. There he sits soar and parapir-
riogly, in the ample folds of his long
worn linen dusler, with hair and beard
nnkempt—drawing his per diem—dogg
ing the wheels of business and disgusting
tho intelligent part of the Senate acd
galleries with his arrogance and ignor-
anoe. Without sufficient brain to graBp
acd comprehend the true import of good
English, he mnst needs be enlightened
bv the intelligent part of tbe body. The
Hon. Potiphar is a great mistake of
well-meaning oonstitnenoy, and a great
eyesore to the State, and should be elim
inated.

Of tho investigating committees sow
at work in Atlanta, the Constitution re
ports progress as follows:
Ter treasury committee has entered
actively npon its duties, and last eve
ning was in the treasury counting coup

The penitentiary committee has been
taking testimony for the past two days,
but as yet failed to “strike ile.” They
are not likely to remain long in ses
sion.
The agricultural bureau committee will

We quote aa follows from the Savan
nah News:
guilty they will be properly punished by
the organized. It is a credit—a vast and
lasting credit—to the Democrats of Geor
gia that they will not tolerate corrup
tion, or the suspicion thereof, in their
ranks. Their readiness to investigate
the condnot of officers elected by them
selves is tbe strongest proof they oan
give of tbe purity of the party. They
are now holding their public servants to
an account in a way that any party
might be proud of. Tbe man who talks
about “white-washing” by the Demo
crat8 of Georgia is simply babbling his
own folly. The Democrats put these
men into office, and if they have become
crooked, the Democrats are going to put
them out. The party repudiates wrong
in its own body, and is now at workpnrg.
ing itself. There are bad men am ong the
Democrats, but they will not be kept in
office.
That Duel.—Tha parties mentioned
in yesterday’s News who intended to fight
a duel, met at tbe appointed time, 6:30
p. m., in rear of Laurel Grove Cemetery,
and agreed to fight it ont in a regular

and both being eomewhat disfigured, one
of them gave in and acknowledged him
self whipped. The affair was then ami
cably settled, so to speak.

The Vindicator says be, "has fonr acres of

wide. He has thirty aores of cotton hip
high on an average. Last year he culti
vated 36 acres in cotton with two mules
and gathered 21 bales. This year he has
35 acres and a better prospect. Boat of
all, Mr. Pollen has old corn of his own
raising In his crib now, raises large crops
of cotton and bays no corn. Behold in
him a farmer with a level head.”
The Vindicator learns that the pros

connty was never more satisfactory than
at present.
Damccbitic Vietuz—Coder this head
that level-headed and conscientious man
and editor, Waterman of the LaGrange
Reporter, makes reply as follows to a char
acteristic sneer from the Griffin San:

the folio *icg material for this column:
Marvelous.—Mr. Bridges, an old and
respectable citizen of Montgomery coun
ty, residing in the Currie settlement,
had a very fine sow kept around theyard,
and raised the entire bacon for hia fam>
ily. Mr. Bridges’ attention was attract
ed by the flying np of buzzards near a
branch-head, and not far from the house.
On reaching the spot he fonnd a dead
pig, a large dead rattlesnake, and his fine
sow dead also. The snake’s head was
pulled off, stripping the neck, and lying
there. Mr. Bridges thought the snake
bit the pig, canting it to squeal, and this
indnoed the sow to make the attack on
tbe snake, losing her own life and killing
the snake.
Shooting Affray.—Oa yesterday
(14tb) just as the down train from Macon
reached McRae a difficulty occurred be
tween Wash. Lamar, a colored school
teacher, and Joa MoRoe, a colored citi
zen of thattowD, which resulted in Lamar
getting his right arm badly riddled with
buckshot, three passing quite through,
and one lodging against the bone. One
shot struok him in the side, but glanced
by, and failed to enter. One or more
shot passed through his hat. Lamar
boarded the train and put for McYille in
search of a doctor. Arriving here, he found
Dr. Swinney, who took charge of his
case. Lamar talked freely abont the af
fray. Said he shot Joe fonr times; that
after Joe emptied his gnn he run, and
that he pursued him, continuing to Bhoot
at him.
The Sparla Times and Planter contains
a correspondence, the patties to which
are Col. H. A. Clinch, of that place, and
Bishop Pierce, touching some pnlpit re
marks of the latter concerning his church
members allowing their children to at
tend dancing parties. The Colonel writes:
With mosc of tbe views expressed on
that occasion by the Right Reverend and
distinguished speaker, being my own
oonscience keeper, I have nothing what
ever to do. If the yonng people of this
denomination, both here and elsewhere,
are in the habit of attending dances and
parties, and he honestly believes this
habit to be pernicious and injurious to
the members of his flock, then surely it
is his right and duty to fulminate tbe
thunders of his pnlpit against it—and
for one I moat heartily wish him God
speed in the conscientious discharge of
his duty. Nor do I desire here to ex
press the slightest dissatisfaction with
his frequent and bitter taunts against the
Catholios, and more particularly the
Episcopal Church. The chnrch never
notioeB these harmless exhibitions
of denominational bad taste, and
is always content to let her his
tory through the past centuries
speak for her. I repeat, therefore, that
with these portions of the Right Rever
end gentleman’s remarks I have no sin
gle word of complaint But when he al
lows his zeal to so far overstep ail prece
dent of propriety as to broadly charge,
or sneetingly insinuate, in that discourse
that the half dozen ladies, members of
the Episcopal church in this eommnnity,
have a copied the settled purpose, or pol
icy, of seducing the young members of
the Methodist churoh into any infraotion
of their membership vows, in order to
thsir expulsion from that church and
their admission into the Episcopal church,
then I do solemnly deolare that the Right
Reverend prelate so charging and so in
sinuating gives grave offense to the truth.
Further, that be grossly oalumniates al
together inoffensive women, whose exqui
site purity and graces of life are os price
less gems set far beyond the fonl asper
sions of slander. And again, that he
grieves by these uttering* that spirit of
Christian oharity that most beoometh ev
ery man—be he bishop, priest or layman.
And the Bishop answers:
The gallant colonel has rnsbed
on tbe field (o the rescue of tbe ladies.
admire ohivalry and knighthood.
Bat who has assaulted ths Is-
dies? Not I, moat asstr idly. I
submit to the crowd of hearers, if I said a
word against gentlemen or ladies ei her.
No; I oharooterizsd actions, hot pertoas.
If any of my audience were guilty of the
things condemned, why so mnoh the
worse for them.
Why does the colonel think I meant
e ladies ? That is an interesting ques-
n. I think he know* more than I do,
out the “policy or purpose” of eeduc- 1
ing Methodists into dancing. He had a
dance at his house, to whioh Methodists
were invited. Now, Ido not deny Col.
Clinoh'e right, as a man, a citizen, or an
Episcopalian, to have dancing at his own
house—with hia family and friends.
But I respectfully suggest that no one
ought to invite or tempt a professor of
religion to break his vows to God, and to
offend his churoh by wrong doing of any
kind.
How did the Colonel know but that I
meant him, instead of the ladieB? The
little band of Episcopalians in this town
are not ail ladies. There are some men
among them. But the best answer is to
repeat what I did say: I advised the
Methodists who intended to danoe—defy
ing the rales and traditions of the church
to withdraw; adding, “I understand the
Episoopalians are willing to receive yon.
Albeit, this mode of getting members is
not very apostolio. I am free to say that
a chnrch built upon such a polioy—and
of such materials—would be a calamity
and a curse, and I could piously invoke
the malediotion of heaven upon it.” But
I added—"If the Episcopalians will get
people to repent and forsake their aiUB, I
will bid them Godspeed.”

The House then retnmed to their
chamber, headed by the Speaker.
The galleries of the Senate were crowd
ed with an eager throng, anxiotu to catch

ticles of impeachment. There was no
demonstration of either approval or dis
approval on the part of the audience, bnt

by the strong, firm voices of the mana
gers, as the deep bass tones rolled out,
one after another, the terrible counts of

Atlanta, August 16:b, 1879.
THE HOUSE
met at nine o’olook this morning, and was
oalied to order by the Speaker. Prayer
by Mr. Talliaforzo.
The roll was oalled, and the journal
read and approved.
Upon motion of Mr. Awtry, ofTtonp,
the communication cent to the House by
the Governor relative to the employment
of Colonel W. O. Tuggle to prosecute
olaims in Washington was read for the
information of the Honse. The paper
set out the reason influencing the Gov
ernor in making his appointment of Col
onel Toggle to eaid offioe.
The Governor states that, in response
to the request of the Legislature, he t>nb-
milted his message on the Toggle fee and
James A. Green memorial matter. He
recapitulates the terms of the contract
with Colonel Toggle. Before eonoluiing
it he wrote to Representatives, and an
swers were reoeived that bnt one claim
was before Congress, the Trezsvant
claim, of 1777, and that waa believed to
be tbe only one of the State, Toggle’s
contraot allowed him to proseonto no
claim anterior to 1792. The Trezavant is
explained. James A, Green was agent
for it. Letters from Hon. James H.
B'oant, Alexander H. S.‘eph:ns and Sen
ator Gordon are submitted, giving testi
mony as to Mr. Toggle’s diligence, abili
ty and faitbfnlneBS, In 1858 Governor
Brown appointed Hon. W. M. Yamuna
speoial agent to prosecute the Trezevant
Claim, and he prosecuted it up to the war.
James A. Green was eleoted Surveyor.
General in 1857, for two years. In 1858
ha was elected agent in the Peter Treze-
vant claim, with a contingent fee of 25
per cent. An official resolution requiring
the Governor to deliver all the papers in
the Trezevant claim is recitod, in which
no other claim iB mentioned, the proviso
being that the State shall not be liable
on his failure to collect.
The statement in the resolution of 1876
declaring that Green was appointed to
collect certain other claims is pronounced
a mistake. Bnt if true, no agency was
established for the claim Tuggle oolleot-
ed. That had such an agency existed
Green’d election to tho General Assembly
in 1876 would have vacated it. The law
on the subject is quoted, both from tbe
Constitution and the Code.
The message concluded with a sum
ming up as follows: James A. Green
was appointed agent for the Trezevant
claim, while Yarnnm was still acting,
The resolution of 1876, from which he
derives his authority, if he has any, as
general claim agent, recites as facta what
are not foots. He had never presented
the Tuggle claim. That claim bad lain
dormant ainoe 1858, and any claim to
agenoy was forfeited by his election to
office. He bad also forfeited his rights
by long negleot of the interests of the
State.
Mr. Awtry of Troup, moved to vJer tho
communication to the special committee
of three appionted to investigate the
Toggle fee matter.
Mr. Hamber of Putnam, one cf the
said committee, moved to table the Eaid
paper a3 the committee was in fall pos
session of all the foots contained in said
communication. Did not know why the
Governor should make each a defense
of himself and Toggle, nnless it was for
the intent and pnrposeof forestalling the
report of the committee.
Mr. Humber’s motion waa lost.
Mr. Awtry’s motion to refer to tha
oommittee was adopted.
Mr. Z9lener of Monroe, moved to sus
pend the roles and take np a House bill
oonferring additional powers on tbe tax
oolloctora of the Stats, making them
sheriffs in certain oases, and to cononr In
oertain Senate amendments.
The motion prevailed, tho bill was ta
ken up and the Senate amendments con
curred in. •
On motion of Mr. Yanosy, of Clarke,
the bill establishing a oity court in Athens
was taken np and read the second time.
Upon motion of Mr. Burch of Laurens,
ths bill inoorporating the Occnse Steam
boat Company was taken up and read the
second time.
Mr. Anderson of Morgan, was allowed
by ooneent io introduce a bill prohibiting
the depredations of hogs. Committee on
Agriculture.
Oa motion of Mr. Dnpree of Maoon,
the bill providing for the registration of
voters in Mitohell and other counties, was
token np aud passed.
The hoar of ten and a half having ar
rived, the House proceeded, headed by
the Speaker and the committee, to the
bar of tbe Senate tc prefer artioles of
impeaohment against Washington L.
Goldsmith, Comptroller General of the
State, for high orimes and misdemean

IN THE SENATE.
Ths door keeper of' the Senate an-
nonnoed the presenoe of the Honse at the

tbe Senate reoeived tha Speaker and tbs

After the members were settled in

The hotel here is situated on the brink
of that wild and terrible chaam which
gave Tallulah its name. This has been
its gayest season. The hotel has been
crowded to overflowing for the last week.
The air is the finest in America, and only
surpassed by that of Switzerland, Ladies
and children perform extraordinary feats
in ascending the tops of the snrronnding
mountains, and in descending the
fearful depths of one of the grandest
chasms in the world—with but little fa
tigue. We sleep under blankets every
night. Ia a few years it will be one of
the greatest resorts in the South. Messrs.
Mast & Childs, of Athens, gentlemen of
means and enterprise, have purchased
abont thirty acres of land lying on this
aide of the chasm, where they will erect
at once a large and splendid hotel, with
all the modern improvements, with parka
and fountains, groitose and rustic bridge?,
with picturesque and winding paths. No
plaoa in America can present snoh a rase
combination of beauty and grandeur.
Abont five miles below the fells, on one
of the lofty heights that form the chasm,
is the Rambert Place. It will be remen ■
bered that at tbs close of the war, Gen.
Toombs, like many other fashionable
people who are looking for folks they
don’t want to see, lett home. Tbe Gen
eral came to the Rambert Place, far re
moved from every human habitation,
grand in its wildnes?, oppressive in its
loneliness. Here he swapped names with
Col. Msrtin, the Colonel throwing in a
double-barrel abot gun. Being hunted
the General turned hunter—and bath
legend and tradition are fast weaving
pleasant and thrilling stories of his eo
journ at Ramberts. The house has been
deserted for four years but being historic
a party pf us visited it yesterday. We
had already heard strange stories of its
being haunted—aud the blood curdling:
things that had been seen and heard
there. A ride of about an hoar and a
halt brought us to the house; e> framed
building with a numbir of zooms on the
first fioo~» a basement a id au attic; these
it stood keeping watch over the valley of
the Tallulah, a sentinel of desertion,
tenantlees and abandoned—a fit place for
the spirits of the other world to hold
their orgiee. We had entered a large
room on the first floor and were examin
ing seme old books, congressional re
coids and agricultural documents, and
white some one waa suggesting
that this waa rather light literature for
spirits, a rock was hurled with great
force against the aide of the wall,
close examination showed that some of
tbe party wero standing in the doer, that
the windows and blinds were all down
and that the rock could not have bees
thrown from the outside. The rock was
very peculiar, and differed from any that
surrounded the house.
We went next into a closet—such a
one as Bluebeard used to pack away his
wives. White in there a largo, heavy
plank deliberately got down from the
ahelf and laid itself with great force upon
the floor. There being nothing striking
in the closet, bnt fearing there might bs,
we went out. We went up into the attic,
and there—horror of horrors!—lay the
remains of a human skeleton. Some of
the party thought wo would bs lata get
ting back, and we had better atar'; bo
wo started. As wa ran down tha stairs,
(for fear of being lato,) one of the leg
bones came following after us with great
foroe, as if it was a little behind time
itself. In passing ont through a small
room ws thought wo would see if fifteen
oonld go out oi a three foot door at the
same time, and we would bava done it it
the door bad been wider. While la this
room a rock came crashing through the
window pane. The blinds were securely
fastened, and the rook seemed either to
have paBeed through ths blinds without
making any aperture or to have been
thrown by some power between tbe win
dow sash and the blinds. We renewed
the experiment to go out at the same
time, and succeeded. Two Swiss had
come down to buy the property—said
they were looking for a quiet home. They
left. The neighborhood was too orowd
ed. The excitement here is something
tremendous—and musy are the theories
advanoed to aooount fer these wonderful
manifestations. I have a theory of my
own, whioh to my mind, is tolerably sat
isfactory. The rook in the first room I
threw myself, the plank from the ahelf
I assisted a little with a back-banded
jerk. I infused some life with the toe of
my shoe into the dry bone thst was try
ing to leavo the attio the same lime we
did, and while tho crowd we:e
engaged in their little experiment
in the small room, I threw the seoond
rock. One of the Rsmbertboys waa a
dootor and kept his skeleton in the attio,
and it may be barely possible that these
human bones were biongbt there to stndy
anatomy. I have cot advanoed my theory
here as I naturally shrink from pressing
my views upon any one, and especially
do I feel a dJioaov after so many learned
theories have been advanoed accounting
for all the phenomena npon scientific
principle?. PatMiszp Lstteb.
