We are abont to have an author in onr

contemplates issuing a complete lexicon

consist of about 180,000 volumes, each
volume to contain 1,000 pages. _ She has
completed the first volume, which is de

The Jasper Centennial which takes
place to-day, is replete with interest;
prominent men from this and surround
ing States have signified their intention
to be present, and numerous visiting mil
itary and civic organizations joined with
those of Savannah, will form a pageant
npon her streets never before witnessed
in this State. We clip the following from
the Morning A T £iri:
An invitation from the joint commit
tee of the Jasper Monumental Associa
tion, and the Centennial Committee, re
questing the Historical Society to take
part in the exercises on the 9tb, was
read, and the invitation nnasimonsly ac

The following resolntion, offered by
Mr. Schirm, was nnonimouely adopted :

corner stone of the Jasper monument has
been received. An engagement begin
ning on the 7th of October mav sot be
concluded in time for me to reach your

uniting with yonr citizens in honoring
the Rallact Jaspsr, a desire to know
more of a' people whose commerce and
cnltnre are commended throughout the
Union, and the opportunity ot meeting
personal friends, tempt me too strongly
to neglect business engagements. W>th
assurance of great esteem, I am eir, yonr

The same paper through one of its
correspondents says:
While the honors are being done t
the gallant Jasper, other timely snggeBO
tiocs are already being made as to whos e
memory the next centennial will be given
for daring and heroic conduct. The gal
lant sergeant from the Fifth Georgia
Begiment stems to have had the honors
in his reach until yonr correspondent saw
fit to trot ont the gallant Sergeant Jesse
A. Hobson, of Washington county.
While the lamented Lee was going
tbrongh the valley of Virginia on the
third expedition to Maryland, the orator
of the Jaeper Centennial (then Major-
General) was in command of the advance
and Sergeant Sobsoo, being one ot the
picked sharp-shooters of his division,was
in the fronti and the enemy was encoun
tered. This perceived, the famone
old rebel yell of the Confederates
rent the air, and the order
to charge was given. Bobson sprang
to the advance far in front, and ere many
mqmenta intervened was ont of view
from hia command, the dense forest
hiding and separating them. At this
critical moment a skirmish line •£ the
enemy filed between Sergeant Bobion
and his command. On he went, however,
thinking only of the command “forward
and route the enemy.” Just then he en
countered a company (Federal), forty-six
in number, commanded by a Captain.
Hia gnn was discharged, and what most
he do? Fortune favors the brave. He
rushed at them alone, pointing his
empty gnn, yelling at them to surrender.

fax in the rear etill fighting) to follow.
The Yankee Captain, vrith his entire

Tax Chronicle Bays: Last Saturday
night, while a camp-meeting held by
Bethel (A. M. E ) Church was in progress
at Lifu/elte Bice Gears.?, a considerable
disturbance woe oroated on the outskirts
by a cc;,'.o named Greecfcerry Hopkins,
a notorious character, who, it is said, was
in an intoxicated condition. It is report
ed that he' fired his pistol off several tic. as
and OLce’c'.mo ne*r -,rikiug a byacondor.
BetweenS and 4'o'clock in tho morning
his conduct bocime so bad that a colored i
man named El .yard Martin, accompanied
by several otfce-.E. vein: out to the gate ol
him. Hopkins thereupon draw s pis
tol and, withoat warning, fired at Martin
shooting him throngh the heart. Martin
lived only a few minutes after the shoot
ing. A party of colored men immedi*
ately arrested the murderer and carried
him to Mr. B. M. Evans, new territory
policeman, who conveyed .he prisoner to
the City Hall, whence he was Bent to
jail. Sunday morning Coroner Jones
held an inquest, when the above facts
were elicited. The jury returned a ver
dict to the effeot that the deceased came
to his death by a wound inflicted by a
pistol ball from a pistol in the hands of
Greenbarry Hopkins, each killing being
in their opinion, willful murder.
The colored men who so promptly ar
rested Hopkins deserve muoh credit fo;
their oourse in the matter, demonstra
ting, as it does, their desire for the prop
er observance of law and order.

Calhoun Times: One day last w e
Bsnben Jones, a young man living],
the lower end of the connty with
mother-m-law, Mrs. Stephens, saw loo
about her premises a mule that he knew
belonged to Silas Brown, living several
miles away, and he concluded to capture
it and Jet the owner know its where
abouts. He eeonred a plow line and in
tended to tie it aronnd the animal’s neck,
having once secured it by the foretop.
Bat no amount of soft words conld coax
the mole to let him get near enough to
tie it. Finally he got a bnndle of oats
and walked up near, when the male in
stead of grabbing the oats, grabbed
Esuben’s hand, and getting bis
thumb seenre between his teeth held
with a death like grip. Eeuben
pracosd aroatd, beat the animal over tho
head with bis first, bn: the mule held on
only the harder, and, according to Esu-
ben’s testimony, kept the aching member
tnero for nearly a half an hour. After
being beaten over the head severely with
a sink in the bonds of Benben’a little
brother who came to the rescue, the mule
finally gave one strong, quick jerk, and
literally stripped tho meat from ths bone
Benben was in to see the physician tne
day after the oosnrrence, and his hand
presented a frightful appearance, being
awfully swollen, even above the wrist.
Moral—don’t fool with a loose mule.
The Talbotton Register has its head
level on the food queston. Thi3 is what
ths Sjuthern farmers mn3t know and con
aider; and knowing tho facts, they must
see tho imperative necessity—if they
want cheap breads tuffs—to prepare to
raise them at homo. Ho farmer in the
South ehould let the Bmnll grain eeed
eeaeon pass without patting la fall crop3
of wheat, oats, rye and b3rley. With
full cri03 and barns, and well stocked
smoke houses, the Southern farmer is
lord of the situation, and if it must be
so, he can sell his cotton at low prices,
and then ask no odds of the outside
world.
A very curious and melsueholy incident
happened on on j occasion in a church iu In
dia, daring service. The windows and doors
were, of coarse, all wide open, ana through
one of tjioee open doors a cobra glided into
the church. Several of the congregation no •
ticed it, and were not unreasonably mnch
alarmed. The beadle, a native, was fortu
nately on the alert, and ho manijed to pro-
core a tulwar, with which he cut off the
creatnre'e bead before it bad time to do any
mischief. Tranquility was restored, and the
servico proceeded to its close, when many
of ths congregation went to look at the dead
enikeasit lay headless on ths ground.
Among them was a man who in bis curiosi-
to to examine the reptile pnt bis foot on the
bead and rolled it towards him when bs in
stantly nttered a loud exclamation and drew
bis foot away. By gome means or other be
bid contrived to set in action the muscular
apparatus attached to the poison-fangs,
which bod darted violently forward and
etruck him on the foot. Ail remedies were
useless; in half an boor tbs poor follow was
a corpse; proving with a vengemce tbs aw

They bod a dime supper in the neighbor
hood of Pawtucket, conceived and carried
out by the ladies. The conditions ot ibis
novel supper wars these: For every word
spoken by tbs goatlomen at the sapper ta
ble a forfeit of 10 coats was imposed; bnt,
on the other hand (as duties are always com
pensated with rights and restrictions with
privileges), it was agreed that whoever
weathered the whole supper, submitting to all
queries, emprises and ingenious questions
without replying, ehould bs entitled to it
gratuitously. Many and frequent were the
artifices and motsrfngea resorted to by the
ladies in attendance to entrap the unguarded,
and one after another stoat and discreet
men went down before the constant volley
of artfal interrogations. At last all tell out
and paid the dime penalty save one in
dividual—a queer chap —whom nobody seem
ed to know. He attended etrictly to busi-
nors and passed unheeded these j-kes,
jioes and challenges. They quizzed him,
ont all in vain. Ho wrestled with the turkey
and grappled with the goose. He nailed oat
the cranberry aaucu with an unswervering
band, and be ate celery as the acriptuai vege
tarian ate grase; and finally, wnen be bad
finished bis fifth piece ot pie, be whipped
out a pocket-slate, wiped it with bis napkin,
and wrote on it, in large and legible band:

we.met a delayed train on the track with a
broken wheel, and were detained for abent
two hoars, thus missing connection at Dan-

day) to wait for tne next tr-in.
After breakfast wa concluded to look
around and inspect the tobacco warehouses,
as wa knew noDody, so wa supposed, in
Danville. Walling up Main street, reading
signs and watching strange focos, we unex
pectedly met an old friend, sir. T. U Sc li

This a flourishing city of about 8,0-0 in

Wo never saw so maca tobacco before—to

and then down to tiny boxes of ping What
tobacco worms tnon aro to am so much of

Mr. Sclatter kindly went with U3 on a visit
to one or two ot tte factories and ware

warehouse called tho Cabell warehouse,
where we met Mr Atrey, wbj showed ns to

is piled np in large q.antitiei, and th.-nso
at auction to the various manufacturers. W e
then went to the Ayre Factory, and Penn &

seate some weak persons, it is pat on tno

over with a syrup made of sugar and liquor

into various shape:. Tno work is dono
mostly by negroes of all sizes and oalois,
tne happiest set of darkies wa ever saw.
They work and sing, and to onr taste it
beats an Italian opera. There was beanty
and melody in their simple tonga Mr. u.
C. Ayres, tb- proprietor of tho first named
factory, is Mayor of the city, and is ono of

STATE LEGISLATURE.
Atlanta, October 6,1879,
THE HIGH COUUT OF IMPEACHMENT
met at 3:30 p. m., and ws3 called to or
der by the Chief Jaetice.
Senator DuBobb resumed tho floor, and
proceeded to argue that the Treasurer
was not guilty of any violation of the
law, because the Angler resolution de
clared that it was not customary to com
pel the Treasurer to give np the,interest
on public funds, eto., etc. ^
Senator Camming said he supposed ha
would conolnde the debato, as such was
the custom of deliberative bodies, to let
the mover cf any point conolnde the
argument.
Senator Lester objected, and after
some little passage of arms the Senator
proceeded. That he would attempt to
answer the arguments proposed by the
other side; that receiving money on pnb
lie deposits is not morally wrong. It is
malum prohibitum, not malxmin se. It
«s3 not formerly criminal, but it is eo
now. When did tho defendant receive
this interest? Wbs it when it wa3
criminal, or when it was not.
I say it i3 a fact that from 1779 to the
present time it has been cnstomsTy to
allow Treasurer's to receive interest on
public deposits, and doe3 not the Angier
resolution s&y eo in &s many words?
That this resolution in its preamble
deals with Treasurers in general, and
the resolntion relates to tho then Treas
urer, (Angler.) So there i3 evidence
from this resolution that euch was the
custom. That custom allows every one
to whom money is intrn3ted, to retain the
interest on money deposited with them;
that to make a man a felon for this
wonld oonviot every banker in the State;
that from olden time such wsa tho cus
tom of all tho Treasurer's of the State
each as Clayton, Mitchell, Tripp anti
others. The Senator from the First
(Lsster), and from the Eleventh (Clarke),
were both pleased to eay it was ridicu-
1gu3 to think of a man getting interest on
money in his hand. If this was folly, it
was the folly of the Legislature of 1876
they seem to nee something facetious ia
it.
Hat several Sunators agree with me.
Senators Lester and Clarke have read me
lectures on oaths. If I was on trial I
would defend myself. If that wonld not
do I would entreat mercy on my knees,
and if reason wonld not do I would pray
to God. I sm not on trial and I will not
defend myself. The one did not under
stand the poetry of what I said and the
other forgot what the Bible says abont it.
After some farther remarks Senator
Camming concluded his remarks and the
court adjourned till 9:30 a. m. to-morrow.
Senator Lsster will reply to-morrow.
Caboltnn.
Atlanta, Oet. 7, 1879,
THE SENATE
met at nine this morning. The President
in the caair. Prayer by the Chaplain.
The journal was read and approved.
the nun cjvut or impeachment
.mat ai 9:30, the Chief Jnatioe cn the
bench, l ue minutes were read.
Judge Warner announced that Senator
Lester was entitled to the floor.
Senator Lester said he had hoped that
ihe managers and coanssl for the defend
ant would bare had finished this debate,
bat as tne Senators have spoken also,
and as osrtain positions and assertions
are assumed as true, he desired to tak
with the otner side to see it they und er-
atood each other. In order to do this he
wonld review briefly the law introduced
m the case. The Senator then rapidly
reviewed tne law of the oass. Tcera
was no point in saying -hat the
constitutional provision required a legis
lative enactment to make it effective.
They rely on a Gecisioa of the United
States court in a case f tom Mississippi. He
had ezsmined that case and found that
the court had not decided as claimed, bnt
tnat the argument of the coanssl offer
all tnat tho defendant depends upon.
The constitution of Mississippi is dir
erent from onrs, and ours declares that
the General Assembly shall enforce these
provisions by snitable penalties. The
penalty is no part of the tala. I ask the
question, oonld this oonrt enforce the
penalty wbion may bo flxed by the Lsg-
lsJature?
The Senator then proceeded to refate
the argument of Senator Camming rela
tive to “money in hand,” showing that
funds subject to draft or cbeok are in
hand. He did this thing by stealth and
not openly. He had invited lnvest-
gation, and yet he concealed his receiv
ing interest until it was discovered by
another. H9 claims that his origin was
too low for him to know ngnt and
wrong. This wib not do; the high and
the low are alike amenable to the law.
Every man who violates law is willing
to set np the defense of ignoranoa of
law. Will we let it go ont that that is
the rule ?
After some farther remarks, Senator
Lester concluded one of the most power-
fal speeches of the trial.
Senator Harrison said if no one else de*
sired to speak, that thu Senate come to
a vote.
Senator Stephens moved to table the
order of Ssnator Camming.
Senator Harrison called for the yeas
and nays. The call waa sustained, the
resolution pnt and earned, and the order
tabled by a vote of 24 to 19.
The Chief Jnstice—Senators, sre yon
ready to vote on the main question?
ted the law and ths constitution, bnt that
he thought there was a reasonable donbt
about his having committed the aots
charged corruptly in the articles, he
wonld vote not guilty, boson as the law,
not his will, compelled him to do so.
Trontman said he preferred to err on
the side cf mercy, if he erred at &U. He
wonld, with due regard to his duty and
his God, vote not guilty.
Senator Wall, the new Senator of the
15th, in place of Senator Clements, de
ceased, asked to ba mused from voting,
a3 the testimony had been offered before
he came into the court; but that he de
sired that tho reasons why h9 made the
excuse be entered on tho jonrnal of the
Senate.
Senator Lumpkin moved that each ac
tion ba taken.
After soma debate tho Chief Jaetice
etated to Senator Wall that he had the
right to refuse to vote and to have his
reasons entered on the Journal.
Senator Wall—"I will not vote.”
The second article was read, which
chargee that Esnfroo did illegally and
corruptly receive from divers parsons
large sums of money ($5,300) on Slate
funds.
The veto stood on thia artiolo exactly
as on the first. The line wa3 etrictly
drawn between the party to convict un
der the law and the evidence and the
party resolvad to acquit for reasons best
known to themselves. The vote wa3 25
o 17.
When Senator Proston oame to voto ha
stated, not guilty of corrupt intention.
Senator Bussell naked it the vote oonld
be received, when Senator Proston said
the Senator wa3 attempting to question
his motive and to hold him np to public
opprobrium.
Senator Bussell—That is false.
Bussell then rose and asked that the
Senator give his vote gailty or not
guilty, that he knew it was rather a deli
cate matter to bring bint to the voto.
Preston then votod not guilty.
Tho Chief Jnstice announced that (he
defendant was acquitted, as the constitu
tional majority of^two-thirds was lacking
to convict.
The third article was read. It chargah
Benfroe with making arrangements with
his bondmen whereby bo received some
thing like $10,009 on publio funds.
The vote on this artiole was the same
us tho two proceeding. Twenty-five Sen
ators voting guilty and seventeen voting
to acquit. Se the defendant was acquit
ted by a lack 0! the constitutional two-
thirds vote of guilty,
Preston and Ejan voted cot guilty of
corrupt intention.
The fourth article was read, which
charges Emfrca with demanding and re
ceiving from A, K. Guilds, president,
and B. L. Moss, eaoretary, of the North
eastern EiiLroad, for signing ths bonds of
said road certain illegal fees to the
amonnt of $247.
On this vote Senator Hudson voted
not guilty on the ground that be did not
believe there was a corrupt intention, as
there was a preoedeni for suoh a oharge.
The vote stood as before, with the ex.
oeption of Senator Hudson—24 to con-
viot and 18 to acquit, so the defendant
was aoquitted ogam by the two-thirds
znle.
The fifth article wa3 read which char
ges Eenfroe with using his office to fur*
ther his own designs in endeavoring to
obtain a position for one T. J, Pritchett.
On this artiole there was a very large
change ia the vote, to-wit: 35 not guilty
to 7 guilty.
