eaid be never eaw Kellogg in a secret
session of the board. Vincent Dicker-
sod, a member of the Packard Legislature,
denied having been promised or paid
anything for voting for Kellogg bnt said
an attempt was made by Tom Murray to
get him to say be had.
George A. J. Swazjry, a member of
the Packard Legislature from West Fe
liciana, testified that he received abent
800 votes to his Democratic opponent’s
1,200. He WA3 nevertheless declared
elected by the retaining board. A geo-
era! and systematic bulldozing was car
ried on in that parish in 1876 Colored
people were murdered and whipped on
aoconntof their political opinions, and
were forced to vote the Democratic tick
et. Even his own relatives were not al
lowed to oast their votes for him. If
it had been otherwise tha Republicans
would havo had a majority in his parish
of nine hundred. Witness testified at
great length to outrages committed by
the whites, and referred to the killing of
Weber and another Republican, who r -
turned to the parish after the election.

Kellogg with Spofford’s witnesses, he
eaid be knew Delacey did cot go to Kel
logg’s room tne night he reached Wash
ington, nnd ha didn’t believe Spoiford’s
witnesses went there. Witness himself
never received money or any other in
ducements to vote for Kellogg.
Wnea closs examined by Senator
Hill, witness admitted that he had been
oharged with murdering respectable citi
zens in West Feliciana parish, but the
Senator could not get him lo admit that
this charge of mnrder and his readiness
to fight caused people to class him as a
bad man, and not to desire bis return.
Witness insisted that the objection to
him was on account of politics. Several
other witnesses were examined, among
them Aristides DeJoie, who denied re
ceiving money lo vote for Kellogg. Jeff
Stokes,porter in thoPaoksrd Legislature,

O murmurous Spirit of the Pins!
Thou seem'at to droop and nestle nigh!
Hast thou then read my sorrow’s sign?
What grief or thine dost thou resign
To echo here my eonl’s low cry,
O murmurous Spirit of the Fine?
What need for mo to build a shrine
To stay tho people passing by,
If tlssu hast read my sorrow’s sign?
Thou hast no marble-mark to thine:
Like mine, thy grief is always sby,
O murmurous Spirit of tho P.nel
No shaft shall rise to measure mine,
No noed the cold world marvel why,
Since thou hast read my sorrow’s sign.
For mine the stars shall tiro and ehino
Until tho oonstollatlons die:
For thjnhas’, read my sorrow’s sign,
O mirmurons Spirit of the Pine!

Correspondence livening News s Judge
Daniel Pittman, Ordinary of Falton
county, says that the estimate made at
tbe State House about the amount of
money it will require to pay cif the
maimed Confederate soldiers, under the
recent act of the Legislature, is certainty
too large. He says the amount neces
sary will not reach beyond $100,000, if
that much. Ho bases his opinion on tha
money spent for liko purposes in 1866.
Judge Pictman says tbero are only thirty-
five applicants in Fulton oounty so
far, and he believes that all in this coun
ty entitled to it have applied. He thinks
that the average in the State will not ex
ceed ten to the oounty, or of tbe 135
counties the aggregate cannot exceed
‘,400, which at an avaiage coat of $70 to
man, will make it not exceed $98,000.
This C3loalation appears to be about cor
rect.
Judge Pittman thinks those maimed
soldiers who have oome into Georgia from
other States, is oveibalanoed by those

Thanksgiving Day.
Thanksgiving day will at list be natn
ralised in the Southern States by this
joint efforts of the Federal and State gov
ernments. It did not take readily to tho
Southern soil—not, as we suppose, be
cause of any objections to the thing it
self, bnt because the people think that
Christmas covers the same ground, and
the two holidays oome too near together.
Ia those parts of the country whore the
practioe of appointing a day of public
thanksgiving was handed down from Co
lonial times, the Christmas festival was
not observed, and has not even now any
marked attention.
The thanksgiving day was mainly an
idea cf tbe Sootch Presbyterians and
Esglish dissenters, and took its stand in
the American colonies, claiming origin
from them. It was strongly insisted
that a grave error had been committed m
dating the birth of Christ In December—
bnt it was never olearly explained whit
evil oonieqaeneeswonld follow the mis
take, mppoeing it to exist. One day, in
point of faot, was as good as another for
this purpose, and it was impossible, in
the natnre of the ease, for all the world
to observe the same day.
But the learned never oould see oye to
eye on these points, and the two holidays,
therefore, took a quasi hostile attitude
in the mother country whiob,! n a modified
form, was transferred to the new world
and still exists. The two never will take
coequal rank anywhere. Those who
stand for a political Thanksgiving never
can be made to think muoh of Christmas
and its chimes and carols. There’s no
sense in them—mistaken in date—prelatio
—pompous, and childish, too. What ha*
comes men ia a regular day for seonlar
preaohing, wherein full vent cau be given
to politics viewed through olerical spec
tacles, and glory and shame distributed
around to friends and foes with n scrip
tural intelligence and impartiality.
But in point o’ fact, there ia no real

This is the title of a very lengthy and
interesting article from the pen of James
Anthony Froude, the Esglish anthor,
whioh contains some striking statistics
of tho Irish element in Amerioa and
the rapid growth of the Catholio
Churoh.
It will be news to many that there are
more Irish in the United States at this
time than in their mother oonntry. The
number foots up 6,000,000.
In the old ocuntry the nnmber has
steadily deoreased for yeaia under the in
fluence of emigration, and tho lack of a
plentiful supply of wholesome food, while
in tbe Caited States the increase has
been moat remarkable.
Mr. Fronde, to tho honor of onr Irish
friends be it spoken, attributes this
growth, in population to that abstinence
from sexual vies which is so favorable to
large families. He estimates if they go
on growing as they hare for the last
twenty years, there will be twelve millions
at tbe end of the present century. This
he styles a “singular phenomenon,’’ and
goee on to say:
At the acosssion of the HonBe of Han
over there were soarcely 809,000 Irish
Celts in existence, all told, and these a
poor, trampled and despised people—
savages so abject that Dean Swift regar
ded t em as natural-born hewers of
wood and drawers of water, for whoso
spe dy extinction a wise legislation had
provided. These Celts are sow virtaal
masters of their own country; they turn
the eleoiions in tbe great EogliBh cities,
they aro a mighty element in the Eng
lish colonies; while in the New World
they have expanded into a nation, separ
ate in blood, separate in religion, ae little
likely to merge in the old race of Repub
lican Americans ss the parent stock at
home is likely to assimilate with the
Britian, yet grafted in upon the Ameri
can Constitution, to baar its own fruit
there for good or evil.
In regard to the rise of the Catholio re
ligion in this country, the following as
tonishing figures are given:
In 1785 there was one finnan Catholio
Bishop in the United States, with fifty
priests and twelve churohes. The Ro
man Catholic population was Frenoh or
Spanish. They bad neither sohool, o al
lege, convent or monastery. They were
declining in numbers, or were being ab
sorbed in the preponderating Anglo-Sax
on element. Io 1879 the nnmber of
Catholics are 6,500,000. They have $3
bishops, 5,750 priests, 5,589 churches,
500 convents, 700 colleges, seminaries
and aoademies, and nearly 2,000 parish
schools. The rate of inorease is still
risisg, flocks and pastors having mire
than donbled in the last twenty years.
The ohief explanation is the
VAST IMiriOBATION Of IRISH PEASANTRY,
which began on a large soale in 1866-67.
The Irish who were in Amerlea before
the potato famine were chiefly Presbyte
rians from the North— part of the Prota
eatact colony whioh had been planted by
Cromwell. They were worth their weight
in gold to Ireland, if it was for Ireland’s
interest to beocme a Protestant oonntry.
But they were too sturdy and independ
ent to please the Bishope and land own
ers of the EatabUsaad Church. Tbey
were persecuted away and went to New
Eag asd, where they paid their debt
with interest to the old country at Lex
ington, Banner Hill and Saratoga.
Many of our most prominent and me i
toriou? oitizens are Irishmen, or of Celtio
extraction. As professional men, soldiers
and laborers also, they play no unimpor
tant part in the affairs of the oonntry.
We only wish that • few thousands could
be planted npon the inviting and unoc
cupied soil of Georgia.
Senator Hill, in reply to oertain inter
rogatories addressed to him by J. D.
Danfortb, the editor of the Bock Islander,
a paper published in Illinois, has written
alettor that fairly bristlsi with salient
faots as to our past treatment at the
hands of the Radical party. The. bold
position also is taken that tbe Sonth
wonld be better off under a king or em
peror than under the lead of a seotional
mob, with a sensational demagogue aa
President.
We quote the following moat pertinent
portions of his letter to the Socle Islander:
I trust the discussions now to be nad
•rill show the Northern people the im
measurable difference between State
rights and secession, and thereby save onr
constitutional system of limited State
and Federal Government from final and
disastrous overthrow.
Equally wioked, thongh not to danger-
oua, is the Republican charge that “the
South hae been made solid by the shot
gun.” This ia simply a disgraoeful un
truth. The South has been made solid
by the policy of tbo Republican party,
and the “shot-gun” slang ia resorted to
for no purpose but to bide tho troth from
the masses o’ the Northern people.
The Republicans have mode the Sonth
nolid by unmitigated wrong npon the
Southern people, and are now seeking to
make the North solid by unmitigated
danders of their victims.
We have bad men in tha Sontb. You
have bad men in the North. Bat the
greatest oruninals in ei.her section are
those men who taaoh the people of one
eeotion to hate and distrust the people of
another Beotion of onr common oonntry.
If the Republican party will let alone
the issues settled by the war, and treat
them as settled,and will cease to maltreat,
slander and malign tbe Southern people,
and will thus allow parties to form on eoo-
nomio and proper political qneetlons, the
people of the Sontb, like all other people,
wl 1 divide.
This whole matter must be decided by
the intelligence of the Northern people.
If they are nnable to see the very plain
motive cf the Repnblioan leaders and pa-
•»*«• Vaan.ni* *'*««* —1!-_-1 p^§ •
sions and iisuea, or if they are; unwilling
to rebuke those motives, we Shall have a
solid North against a solid South, and
very soon a solid despotism for all.
We, of tbe South, siaoerely abandon
secession end slavery, and are doing all
in our power to improve the freeduan
into an intelligent, good citizsn. While
the Republicans bad control in Gaoxgia
neither white nor black conld accumu
late property. But since the Republicans
were expelled from control, the blacks of
Georgia have accumulated eix millions
of property, and under their own oaths
return over five millions for taxation, in
cluding over five hnudred thousand acres
of land.
When the Republicans had control in
Georgia neither whites nor blacks oould
obtain free education, for all the school
fond was diverted—in plain words, sto
len.
As soon as the Republicans were ex
pelled from oontrol in Georgia, whites
and blacks alike, and in equal propor.
tiocs, began to be educated at the pub'
lio expense. In 1878 over aeventy-two
thousand colored ohildren were in sohool
at the public expense in Georgia, and the
School Commissioner thinks that the
number in 1879 will reach over ninety
thousand!
You may search the whole earth and
all the ages In Tain for benefits to the
colored race equal to those I give you
from the official records in Georgia. In
the face of such facts is it necessary to
use the shotgun to induce the colored
people to vote the Democratic ticket ? In
the faoe of such official facts, will the
Northern people still believe the recklees
demagogues who slander and abuse the
Southern people P
I repeat, we of the Sonth aoceptthe
results of the war in good faith. We will
soon reoover from all the losses of the
war If Republican rogues and slanderers
will permit ns to do so. We arc strongly
in favor of preserving and perpetuating
to onr children onr constitutional sys-
etem of Federal and State governments.
We do not believe a better system can
ever be devised for this oonntry. But
sectional despotism accomplished by sec
tional slanders and administered in sec
tional hate is the very worst form of dee
potism. We are opposed to any more
oivil wars for any purpose, even to main
tain liberty. If sectional despotism
maintained throngh seotional malignity
cannot be otherwise avoided, we will re
spond to au honeBt proposal to change
our system from a free to a strong gov
ernment, peaceably and regnlarly.
It will be better—inexpressibly better
for the Southern people to be governed
by & wise, able and just man as emperor
and king, than by an infuriated sectional
mob under the lead of a narrow, sensa
tional, seotional demagogue as president.
Will intelligence 8ave or will monopoly
destroy onr constitutional system of
government.
This is the question. The North must
answer, and the Sonth abide the answer,
be it what it may, insisting only that the
peaoe be preserved.
Yon can do as you please with this

The toadies and admirers of Genera]
Grant are actually now glorifying him as
an apostle of temperance. At that rate
we expect to eee Ulysee canonized as a
saint before the ides of November, 1880-
A correspondent of the Chicago Inter-
Oeian says tbe Central Pacific, under*
standing the General’s wishes, furnished
his car with no liquor of any kind. Oa
the Union Paoifio we found the car stocked
with all kinds, bnl General Grant always
turned hia glasses bottom upward. One
night the porter of his car came to me
with a secret, which I tell because sug
gestive io this connection. It was this :
That on the night he was rendered cn-
oomfortable by an accident to bis baok,
occasioned by reaobing over some bi^-
gago in the oar, Mrs. Grant prescribe!
some brandy, bnt tho General refused u,
saying, simply. ‘No, I’ll smoke; that will
do just as well.’ It is a subject upon
which any one wonld hesitate to question
General Grant; but it ia tho oonvlotiou of
all his frionds who have often hoard bis
strong expressions open kindred moral
questions, that-in the same unostenta
tiousway in which he has given aid to
good causes, he is offering to the cause of
temperance tho assistance of his exam
ple.”
This is pretty Bleep when we consider
the General’s record from the time
he wes a second lieutenant in the Uni
ted States army and got into trouble
from hiB bibulous habits, to the day that
he retired f>om the White House.
Bat if tho Chinese and other heathen
people, during his progsess around the

Statu, then they have done good miss

Canned Focd in England. — The
United States has the monopoly of canned
meats in Great Britain. The Cincin
nati Gateile says:
In these cans you may find baked pork
and beans from Boston, Philadelphia,
and some town in Missouri, whese name
has escaped me; roast beef from Texas
(about tbe only thing, by the way, from
any other Southern State), and many
other point?; lamb and mntton, roasted
and boiled, from cities east and west;
tongues of beef, lamb, mutton, eto.; veal
in all styles of cookery, from different
points; and when yon come to poultry
there may be fonnd roasted and boiled
chickens, ducks, pigeons, turkeys, boned
and unboned, from every quarter. I
think Chicago furnishes specimens of all
these articles, and of several different
brands, while St. Louis, Baltimore, Phil
adelphia, Boaioo, New York and other
citieBare weil represented.
The trade in these artioles is immense,
and famishes n very large and profitable
sonree of revenue to this conntry. In
this land of plenty, nothing need be
wasted, as tbe old world will ever afford
a market for onr surplus meat, fruit and
vegetables, all of which, by proper can
ning, may be preserved for an indefinite
period.

THE FO&r VALLEY TRAGEDY.
The case of lynching whioh occurred
in Fort Valley on last Monday night has
excited great InteMRt not only in Fort
Valley bnt wherever the news of the oo-
currenoo has reached. The sadden shock
prednoed on a community when men
taka the law in their own hands, is felt
most keenly where tha deed is done, bnt
is nit omfined there bnt extends all
over the land. The present ease, coming
so unexpectedly, with no premonitory in*
tense excitement in the community,
was all the more shocking, and seemed,
in its oool and deliberate exocntion, like
a common business transaction.
Wo learn that the darkey, Henry
Walker, wrb oaptured in Rutland District,
in this county, < y the oity marshal on
Monday last, taken to Fort Valley and
locked up;in the guard-housa of the town.
While in that place he wa3 visited by
Mr. F. C. Houser, whose house he bad
once bnrglariztd, and to him he made a
free and full confession of tho burglary,
together with other crimes, the penal
ties of which wonld give him an en
gagement in the penitentiary more than
a life time. The faot of these confes
sions soon beoams public, and are sup.
posed to have been the moving cause in
the subsequent proceedings, together
with the strong feeling which existed in
the community against the prisoner for
various outrages committed.
In the jail withhim was ono other dar
key by the name of Oain, who was in on
tho charge of receiving stolen goods,
having in his possession a pair of pants
and shoes, he claims to have pnrohased
from Walker. He is the only
witness, so far, who knows anything
about the transaction..
In an interview yesterday, with our
informant he elated reluctantly that

they weae masked or noton account,of
the dsrknesB. They seized Walker aad
dragged him out. They promised him
(Cam) bis liberty on condition that he
would sot toll who they were.
After taking Walker abont fifteen steps
from the jail, they hanged him to a limb
of a tree. The hanging was done in tbe
busiest part of the place, in fall view of
the hotel and the railroad.
When morning came tho body was dis
covered stark and cold, swinging to the
motion of tho breeze. The face had no
cap over it and from the mouth of the
dead man, hia tongue protruded several
inobes, end his eyes ware distended in a
ghastly manner. At the foot of the tree,
twelve black masks made of black alpaoa
with wbito strings were lying in a heap,
showing the probable number of those
present, and tha fact that they were
masked when engaged in their unlawful
work, l’ne body hung on the tree until
twelve o’olack Tuesday, when it was ont
dawn by the Coroner.
It was impossible to peiBuade a darkey
in the place to have anything to do with
it, and it was buried by Mr. J. B. James,
citizen of Fort Valley. It seems that
no speoial watoh is kept over the guard
houBO in Fort Volley, but the inmates are
looked in and left daring tho night, the
town being polioed, however, by a mar
shal.
On Monday night he was absent in an
other part of Houston county, and in this
way there was no check or hindrance to
the commission of the deed. In breaking
into the jail a crow-bar waB used. The

ona found unlocked. To eecure the pris

Yesterday Judge Simmons, who is hold

THE GENUINE
DB-C.McLANE’S
CELEBRATED
LIVER PILLS
FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Liver Complaint,
DYSPEPSIA AND SICK HEADACHE.
Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
DAIN in the right side, under tho
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lio
on the left side; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels in general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
!ax; the head is troubled with pain,
accompanied With a dull, heavy’ sen
sation in the back part. There is gen
erally a considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
ought to have been done. 3A slight,
dry’ cough is sometimes an attendant.
The patient complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet are cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to him, yet he can scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, he distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
tire disease, but cases have occurred
.vhere few of them existed, yet exam
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to have been exten
sively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McLane’s Liver Pills, in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used., preparatory to.
or after taking Quinine. We would
-vlvise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a fair trial.
For all bilious derangements, and
as a simple purgative, they are un
equaled.
BEWARE OF IMITATIONS.
The genuine are never sugar coated.
Every box has a red wax seal on the
lid, with the impression Dr. McLane’s
Liver Pills.
- The genuine McLane’s Liver Pii.ls
bear the signatures of C. McLanr and
Fleming Bros, on the wrappers.
Insist upon having the genuine Dr.
C. McLane’s Lives Pills, prepared by
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Ta., the
narket being full of imitations of the
name Jllcl.ftue, spc’uiv' differently but
-am* pronunciation.
