A Black Bruis—The same paper hrs
iho foliowisf:
One of tho moat daring and high
handed attempts to commit rape that has
ever come to cur attention occurred at
Jeok and Holland's ice-cream saloon on
Whitehall etreet, Wednesday evening
about 7 o’clock. Tae assailant was a
negro boy by tbo same of Wiiiiam Hag-
gins, ar.d the party whose person the at
tempt to.ontrage was mad* a white girl
ef eln ,’ou years, the daughter of a gen
tleman from Cincinnati, cow in Atlanta.
Tee ■ oice took place in a small room ado
joicirg the esloon. Tho purlieu'--s ep-
? e»r jo to b3 that tbe little girl went to
ack and Holland's to get some ice
cream. When she entered the saloon
there was no one present but the boy
who attends to tho wants cf customers.
Sits m .do known her wishes, sad ask
ed the boy what fitvors he had.
The negro remarked, "Come this way
and I will show yon-” As he said this he
walked to the door of a room adjoining
in whioh the crestn is made sad kept,
followed by the little gitL When the two
.br.i entered the nearo opened some of
the fi cz-rs and allowed tho visitor to
taste some of each variety of flivor. She
selected "lemon," and told the boy to
give her "ten oenle worth.’ 1 The negro
procured a small paper box made ex
pressly for potting np ice cream, and
filled it with cream. As the girl turned
to go she was ronghly seisen by tbe negro
and thrown to the floor. Tae attempt
to oatrsge her person was then made,
and os the negro attempted to tear her
olothes from her and ravish her person,
tho young girl screamed for help. Tae
aoresm, although it was not heard by
any oue in tbe store below, had tbe effeot
of making tho negro release his hold
upon her, and she fled from tho saloon to
her house, just aorors the street. When
she had strived there she told her moth
er or what bad happened at the ealoon.
The moibor at onos tcld tbe police of
the affair, and tho negro was arrested
immediately end locked up in the Gt»
tion-house.
We learn from the Romo Courier that
Cob Shorter "sold, last week, all the pig
iron in the yard cf the Etna Iron Works,
amounting to over sixteen hundred tons.
The sale was to a Cincinnati pnrehaser,
for cash at twenty dollars per ton for
the wholo lot, delivered on tho cars at
the furnace, and summed up over thirty-
two thousand dollars.”
Tnx Dalton Ciliten states that the sher
iff of that county arrested and jailed one

to be of the party that murdered Joseph

Thb Dispatch, referring to somo intima

were preparing to stay at Atlanta until
cold weather, says:
That's all right. Tha people sent them
to look atier public interests, and if they
cannot finish ifc:ir work ere frost, they
should remaic at the capital not only till

Or the progress of the caterpillar in
that section, the News eays t
The existence of tbe cotton caterpillar
is reported by our planters to be pretty
general throughout Southwest Georgia.
As present, however, they are webbed np
on many places, and not doing any harm.
On some plantations they are doing much
damage, and bid fair to entirely destroy
the top crop. We bear that it is the in
tention of many to poison them by
sprinkling with arsenic, eafficiently di
luted to prevent harm to the plan. Faria
green has proven too severe m its effect
upon tbe weed and will not ba used by
those who have experience as to its in
fluences.
The Gaine3villa Eajle makes a few re
marks about that ornament of Southern
society, "The Colonel ” which we sub
milted for the benefit of all "The Colo-
neV who read the Telegraph and
Messenger : ♦
It is a little astonishing to U3 that
some one of the many members
of the General Assembly who pant
for fame, and eeek tbe high
zenith of notoriety by introducing bills
has not thought to introduce a measare
to regulate the Colonel. The Colonel is
a genua of such a vast ncauimonsnese
that any man who wonld climb the
heights of glory has only to enlist the
good offices of the Colonel in hii behalf.
The Colonel is numerous, very numerous,
indeed in a large majority, and the
Colonel is Influential, very influential,
iodeed controls the politics of the country.
If a legislator could only find something
in whioh the Colonel is interested, and
aid the Colonel in tbe matter, it wonid
draw around him a band of stannch
friends, and hold him np on an array of
helpful hands beside which spartan
bands and legendary "six hundred”
-wonld sink into the insignificance of a
drum major in a pitch battle. The
Colonel is an appreciative sou of Grander,
a politician of parts, a gentleman of
gratitude and no mean ally. By all means
let some ambitions sinner conciliate tho
Colonel and achieve greatness.
The Atlanta Dispatch learns that Mr.
Joe Garter, editor of the DeEaib News,
had a difficulty at Stone Mountain Thurs
day night with Jchn F. Parks, who was
formerly an employe of Carter. In the

The Comptroller says that his books
ihow that two hundred and eight lots
were sold, ani that three dullars and
fifty cents per lot were claimed as adver
tising fees, and that the amount claimed
was allowed in tbe settlement. The
mm, therefore, is $728.
If anybody can point out a bigger
fraud than thie, on a small scale, we are
ready for the exhibition. Oar charges
for all tho wild lands advertised in that
county did not reach forty dollars—the
amount was considerably less—and we
did not give the sheriff or tbe trans
ferees any receipt or voucher for any
larger sum. Yet the Comptroller-Gen
eral allowed these excessive costa in a
settlement with tho sheriff. Why aid
he not require tho sheriff to show a re
ceipt or a voucher for that amount of
money paid out, is a mystery we are un
able to solve, but tbe whole matter will
come to the light in time.
We have already spoken of one sheriff
who claimed and was allowed, we sup-
pose, about fourteen hundred dollars for
advertising wild lands in tho Dispatch,
when tho actual fees did not reach sixty
dollars,

The Dispa'eh has this shout over the
passage by the House of ths Senate bill
to lease the Macon and Brunswick rail

It provides for another connecting link

Ws make this extract from General
Gordon’s address presenting tho por
trait of Dr. Crawford W. Long to the
Legislature:
This recognition of Dr. Long, as the
discoverer of arcoitheiia, I repeat, has
been too long delayed it it could have
been otherwise; end Dr. Long must have
so felt it. It Is trae that other great dis
coverers havo lived and died without wit
nosstog or even anticipating the best re
sults to the world. Franklin, for in
stance—the far-seeing Franklin—as he
eeut bis little kite fiyiug to meet the
olcuds and drew thence lightning to tho
earth and demonstrated its identity with
eleetrioity, little dreamed that he held
within hie grasp a mighty agent whioh
was eoon to become subservient to tbe
will of mac, to sweep around the globe
nt man's bidding, outstripping the. sun in
its flight, acd bearing intelligence to man
on its wings of fire. But not so with Dr.
Long. As he stood, a modest, unpretend
log physioian, in the oonnty of Jaokson,
on tbe 30tb day of March, in the year of
onr Lard 1842, testing his dieoovery up
on bis patient, he must have felt even
then, in tbe very inoipiency of his disoov
ery, what a priceless boon he was abont
to confer upon the human race. And, as
with eager eye and throbbing brain, he
looked from the result of his experience
over the vast field of human suffering
whioh Ipy before, be must have lifted his
heart in thankfulness to God that He had
permitted him to be so great an instru
ment in the alleviation of physical an
guish. [Applause.]
An honor to the noble profession of
wjiich he was a member—a profession
which—in its sacred offioes of relieving
suffering, stands nearest the ministries
aronnd tbe altars of the Most High; an
honor ;io this great commonwealth, of
which he was a devoted son ; an honor
to America, whose progressive science he
has signally illustrated. This modest
man, this great discoverer, this grand
apostle of humanity, richly deserves
all the honors we can pay to his memo
ry. [Applause.]
Let his portrait b9 placed upon the
walls ;of the capitol. Let it be placed
among tho most famous of Georgia’s
sons, for although he wa3 neither ora
tor, nor statesman, nor eoliier, yot if
great esrvices to tho race be the trae
measare of greatness, Crawford Long is
the peer of any man of this or any age.
[Applausa] Place him by the side of
your great Crawford, of your heroic
Jackson, of your Early of the iron will,
of your Troop, your Forsythe, your Ber
rien ; for while these men are the equals
of any this country ever produc
ed, they conferred upon Georgia,
through their eloquence and states
manship no higher boners than has Dr.
Long through his science and the lasting
benefits bestowed upon humanity. Place
him there as tbe most appropriate tribute
you can now pay to the memory of one
who, in all coming time, will be regard
ed as ordained of God to diminish the
sum of human' suffering, to half cancel
the ourse and half neutralize the sorrows
of man’s fall, by the alleviation of phys
ical anguish. Placo him in your highest
niche, not only as an evidence of your
appreciation of bis fame and services, bnt
as a reminder to the ambitious young of
the land and to db all that the most en
during fame, the traest glory and the
most God like achievement is net that
which mark’s and emphasizes* man’s tri
umph over his fellow man through injus
tice, untruth and wrong, but that which
links his name with real and lasting ben
efit to bis fellow man. [Applause.] In
the name of truth, then, of justice, of sci
ence, of humanity and o! religion, I
commit to your keeping, representatives
of Georgia, the claims and fame of our
fellow countryman and humanity’s bene
factor, Dr. Orawford W. Lcng. [Great
applause.]

in his defense of the farmers, as follow*:
It is passing strange that the farmers,
we mean the real tillers of the soil, in

is best for their interests. Coaid these
farmers have bad their way the great Ag

other people how to till the eoil, fearing

item:
A first-class scandal is agitating the
usually quiet neighborhood of Tussahaw
district just now, to the infinite disgust
of the good people of that chaste com
munity. It seems an attempt at black
mailing was recently made by a woman
residing in that particular locality, in
which the was aided and abetted by her
husband, who, singularly enough, i3 a
minister cf the gospel. The affair
was brought to the notice of the
chnrob, and in view of the previous high
standing of tbs parties concerned, and
tbe circumstances of the case, it was
thought proper to investigate the whole
matter. In acoordanee with this resolve
a committee was appointed, who have
been aotively engaged for two or three
weeks past ia oolleoting evidence, and
they will mako their report to-morrow.
It is expected the oaee will develop an
amonnt of riohness heretofore unknown in
the annals of obnroh trials in Henry
county, and may famish material for a
new Eensation. At any rate, the bottom
faots will be resohed, and if nothing else
is accomplished the pnblio mind will be

of receiving the portrait of Dr. Orawford
W. Long, tho Senate filed into the repre
sentative* hall hcaied by the President.
The front seats were devoted to the ac
commodation of the family of Dr. Long.
The galleries were crowded with a
large attendance of ladies and gentlemen
from all parts of the State.
A oommittee of the Alatnni of the State
University also attended the ceremonies
and were accommodated with seats on the
floor of the Honse.
Gen. John B. Gordon, the presentation
orator, said, "Fallow citizens we are as
sembled to receive the portrait of Dr.
Long by Mr. Carpenter, presented by
Mr. H. L. Stewart of New York.
That the discovery by Dr. Long of the
use of sulphuric ether in operations of
surgery, is one of the greatest boons ev
er vouchsafed to humanity, one which
ought to plssa his name high in the roll
of tho benefactors of Ms race.
This discovery was worked ont in an
obscure county and station, with no loud
sounding of fame, bat slowly and with
unobserved patience.
Too long has the country postponed the
plaudits and honors due this great dis
covery.
Dr. Long deseiva3 all tbe honors oue
can give him. Flaoe it on your walls,
near your Crawford, your Troup, your
Early, of the iron will, your Jackson, and
alt the other great of your native
land. He wa3 no orator, statesman
or warrior, bnt though these
honored your State, yet he oonferred a
blessing npon the race. Tho highest
honor a man oan achieve Is to confer
some imperishable boon upon his race.
Then, iu the name of humanity, of hon
or and fame I confide the portrait of Oraw
ford W. Long to your keeping, Represen
tatives of Georgia.
Mr. Yanoey of Clark, chairman of tbe
reoeption oommittee, made the speech
accepting the portrait on the part of the

Mr. Yanoey g<,ve a well expressed and
graceful history of the discovery of an
esthesia, giving the nsmes of different
men who had used anesthetic means for
alleviating paio, and showing that Dr.
Long was the first physioian who ever
applied the use of ether to praotical sur
gery. In oonolasion,Mr. Yinoay, in tbe
name of the alumni of the University of
Georgia, acoepted the portrait of Dr.
Long. Mr. Yancey then paid a brief and
beautiful tribute to the large hearted bo
nevolenoe of Mr. H. L. Stewart, the do
nor.
Mr. Yanoey thenoonoladsd the address
by reading a beautiful and tonohing
poem, written by a daughter of Dr. Long,
whioh was not oomposed for this ocoasion,
bnt soon after the death of her father.
At the conclusion of the oeremonies

lies of oertain deoea e 1 members the b 10k
or unclaimed per diem due Bald mem
bers.
Mr. Crawford of Musoogee, rose to a
question of privilege, and personal ex
planation. lie read from the Atlanta
Dispatch, an uriiole signed "anti-Govern-
or” and charging him, evidently, with
being an agent of the State to
oolleot a claim against ths State of
Alabama, while he was still a member of
the State Legislature. Mr. Crawford sta
ted that the charge was wholly untrue;
that tho facts are, that es ho had legal
business in the capital of Alabama, cer
tain papers were entrusted to him for
safety; tlat be did transport said papers
to the Governor of Alabama, and tbat ho
did deliver them to him, but that all con
nection between himself and tbe said
claim ceased when the papers passed ont
of his hands; that be never was or ever
expected to claim any fee or reward for
the trifle ba bad done; that ha was not a
collecting agent of the State nor an attor
ney for her; that he was of better stock
than to tike mosey ia violation of the
laws of the people and ths S ate.
Mr. Oliver’s motion to reconsider was
put and passed.
Mr. Daniel of Heard, moved to lay tbo
motion to reconsider on the table. The
motion did not prevail.

substitute.

ation of the special order.
Mr. Pike moved to firet take up the
substitute efferod by the committee.

ceeded to read the substitute which tbo
House was to take up by seotions.
Mr. Wright of Riohmord offered
lengthy substitute to be known as seo
tion 1st, whioh provided against discrimi
nations against localities or sections.
Mr# Cox, of Troup, argued that to em
power appointed commissioners to make
laws as was provided for in the bill was
unconstitutional.
Mr. Hail, of Spalding, spoke in opposi
tion to Mr. Cox’s position, saying that the
law itself compelled the reads to keep
their traoks in good order, and that the
bill did not give the commissioners power
to make laws.
Mr, Cox also spoke again on the bill,
strongly opposing its passage.
Mr. Yanoey offered the following
amendment:
Tbe Commissioners hereafter to be ap
pointed shall take general supervision of

company, and likewise report such viola
tion of its charter to tho next General
Assembly of the State convening after
such violation.

ing amendment:

sand dollars, nor more than twenty thou
sand dollars, suoh fine to be recovered by

plained of was done, tho jary in eaoh
case to fix the amount of tbe fine.

Memphis Avalanche )
Messrs. Charles Qaentel, Jr., and Henry
Quentol, with their wives and eevoral compag-
none da voyage, left town yesterday in cir
ri ages, with the intention of taking the
LouieviUe and NashvJle train at Bartlett,
and departing for a more salubrious clime.
Everything went well until the party neared
Brtlett; not a single murderous quarantine
guard wae met with, and hope, th *t springs
eternal in the human breast, lent an addi
tional charm to tha beauties of natnre to
eo latiehly displayed on every hand. But,
aa c:mo one, probib’y Mark Twain, has
said, "AU that's bright must fade.” On
reaching ths bridge thie side of Bartlett a
solitary horseman bearing the typical shot
gun was seen, not approaching, but immov
ably fixed in the road. When the party
drove np, this party of tho fint part halted
them.
" Yen can't praa,” eaid he with heroic firm
ness.
" Wherefore ?” was asked.
"Because you can’t.” Wifl the response.
“ Well, bnt we will.”
“ If you do it wi t be with a load in you.”
11 If you draw that gun, you’d be destroyed
without remedy,” replied one of the travel
ers. He drove on; ths rest followed. He
got no load in him.
When Bartlett was reached, the train was
Atilt there, and the refugees were beginning
to la; the fiittcr.ng unction to i heir souls
that all w:nldyetbe well, when suddenly a
commi tie appeared barring the way. They
eaid, "Thus far, and no farther. 'Twas
vaintorp-ak, to weep, to sigh—the incor
ruptible guardiars jf the Bsrtiet health wore
not to be moved.
Th;y eaid, however: “If you'll go on to
Bends Station (-ix miles further on,) you
can get aboard tbo train there,” and with
this the rtf ago£3 were forced to bo content.
Thin they asked the oendurtor to tske their
bapgtgo on there. He said, “If I do they
will eliminate ms from off the face of tha
osrth.” So they went on to Bond’s Station
and waited for the train. It cents along
and was duly signaled, but passed on with
out stopping. Ths conductor, however, bad
net forgotten thorn. Ho c&’led al). the pas-
sengera to the window of the car, and exaib-'
i’ed the forlorn Mimphians. Tbe a:eno
waaenjoytdby all preaert, wi'h a few ex
ceptions. The "left” then tried to get qc*r-
ters in the country until to-morrow, whsn
they hoped to get a train, bat the inhabi
tants declared they wouldn't take them in
thero was mill one in it. This was tbe last
straw, and tbe brigbt hopes that animated
tbe party in tbo morniDg hid been succeed
ed by the bitterness of despair. Memphis
was now the only plaoo remaining open to
them, and to Memphis they returned, arriv
ing yesterday evening imbued with a monu
mental disgust at country quarantine.

lights he oould reach, and nobody eaid him
nay. Then, finding a large etove in his way,
he locked it down. This waa considered
quite a hit. .Finally, drawing a revolver, he
tired into the crowd sending a bail through
the thigh of a spectator. Turning on bis
heel, after this, he walked oat unmolested
into the street, and was seen lost in the
crowd.

Yonr strictures on the Yazco, Mississippi,

The Ganonchet faun, now occupied by the
discordant Epragues, stands on the books of
the bankrupt firm of A. & W. Sprague, val
ued at $460,000. Mrs. Sprague refuses to
mike any farther etatements, but ia deter
mined to resist any attempt to deprive her
of lh3 custody of her children, while Gover
nor fiprague has become silent, acd tbe law
yers are hoping to patch up some eort of a
compromise by which tbe breik-up of the
family may be avoided. To bis immediate
friends the Governor epeaks ot his wife as
"infatuated,” a term which, it is urged,
does not necessarily imply a belief in her
guilt. Mrs. Bprague was allowed by her Inn-
band for her household expenses in Wash
ington $2,600 a year, which waa in addition
to the property ahe es) eyed in her own right.
Since the failure, botn the Spragues have
drawn abont $7,000 apiece from the estate,
although Mrs. Sprague says ehe has repeat
edly urged him to accept a larger and more
regular allowance. Mr. Sprague, who ia
veiy preud, has always refused to this, eay-
icg that he would never be a "salaried m:n
in a firm whero he was once chief.”

A Tardy Avris rov.—Justice Samuel F.
Miller, who voted with the Republicans every
time m the Eight to Beven Commission,
made a strange admission, for fcim, to a Sun
reporter, in an interview which that journal
prints to-day. Bpeakmg of Mr. Tildan and
tbo events of 1876 and 1877, he remarked:
‘On the other hand, it may be eaid of him
that he honestly thought ki*noll elected,
ani entitled to the votes of the two Southern
BUtes which tho tribunal dec: ed sgainet
h-m. He wt a elected in Lonieiana—that is,
h9 got eight or ten thousand mqre a:toal
votes there than Hayee.’
—Senator Voorhees, who knows a’l tha
parties thoroughly, arid to a reportor tho
other day: *Jly sympathies in the ecandal
are altogether with Mrs. Bprague. I believe
that she is a much injured lady. Her hus
band is a contemptible, dracken apetart, en
titled to no respect or sympathy whatever.
If any criminality baa existed between Conk-
ling and Mrs. Bprague, whioh I do not be
lieve, Bprague is more to blame than an; one
els9. Those woo know tho man well will eo
decide. The idea of tbat fellow looking Mrs.
Sprague up In her room, as the dispatches
say, is an outrage. There muet bo queer
laws in Rhode Island to allow each things.
I should like to be her counsel when such
outrages were attempted. Aa far ashun
taking the children ia concerned, she is a
thousand times moreoipable of raising them
up to be good men and woman than each a
fellow as Sprague is, for he i» not even capa

Qozes ANNiYEasi&Y. —A peculiar anniver-
saiy was celebrated In Salem, Mass., on
Saturday last—the t»o hcnlred and fiftieth
of the organization of the flnt Protestant
chmch formed iu America. Salem was plan
ted in September, 1628- Skelton andHig-
gineon, who arrived iu Jane following, were
the first pastor and first teacher of tbe
Salem church. The organisation of tbe
ohnrch was completed August 6. O. B-, cor
responding to August 16. N. d. Tae simple
platform upon which the church was foun
ded was the fo'lowin : 'fife covenant with
tbe Lord, and one with another, aad do bind
oureelves, in the presence of God, to walk
together in all Use ways, according as He
is pleated to reveal Himself tocsin His
tleesed Word.’ This lasted the church for
six years, but when at tbe end of tbat timo
the covenant was renewed, nine now clauses
were added, none of them referring to doe-
trine, but each having referenoe to the con
duct of church members. The church at
Plymouth was older than than that at Salem,
but it was organized in Holland.
Tub Teseibie Deith of Db. Mosely —
Regarding the accident to William O. Mosely,
Jr., a young physician of Boston, Mass,
whose death while deoending tbe Matterhorn
was announced by telegraph from Zermatt,
Switzerland, on the loth inat, tbo German
correspondent of the Timas writes as fol
lows: ‘Dr. Moeely bad safely accomplished
too ascent of the Matterhorn. On returning,
and when near the cabin which is used as
a resting-place, he loosed himself from the
rope nr.iung him to his companions, He
had hardly done eo when he made a false
step, lost hie footing and glided rapidly
down the steep ice.elope, making frantio
efforts to atop himself by grasping at pro
jecting rocks. Iho next moment ha disap
peared over the prec'pico, falling on the
glacior opposite Riffel, between Hoemli and
the Saint Theodale Pass, where the body
lies, completely stripped of clothing by the
rapidity of its descent. Tho body can be
distinctly seen from below, lying on a pro
jecting ledge of ioe. Aa expedition for the
recovery of the body was to start on Satur
day morning.’

Without General Grant
For General Grant positively declines to
reenter the political field. In a conversa
tion with the Viceroy of Tientsin, reported
by the Herald’s correspondent in a letter
published in Saturday’s Herald, the Viceroy
expressed the hope that the General would
ba reelected for a tbl-d term to the presi
dency. General Grant's reply is full of
good sense and patriotic feefing. Ha said:
Your Excellency ia very kind, bat there oouid
be no wish more distasteful to me than wbat
yon express. I have hold the effise or
President as long as it bus ever been held
by any man. Taere are other* who have
risen to great distinction at home and who
have earned the honor, who are worthy, and
to Shorn it belongs, not to me. I hive no
claims to the offio9. It is a place distasteful
to me—a place of hardship and responsi
bilities. When I was a younger man theso
h&rdsh’ps were severe, and never agreeable.
They would be worse now.
The Vioeroy: But you are a young m»n,
and your experience would be cf value.
