We learn from the Athens Banner that
on Wednesday night last, as the passen

-Nicholson, the Postmaster at that place
went down to get the mail hags, and
found that Mr. Bill Davis, the mail agent
on the road, was not in the car. Mr. Pat

saw him at Harmony Grove. The train
was immediately backed up the road, and
when about a mile from Nicholson, Davis
was found lying by the track in an un

It is thought, with his skull broken. No

from for several days. .We predicted,
however, that Tom would turn up, which

that some footsore, impecunious specimen

Correspondence of the Griffin Ncics:
When I was boy there lived near Boling-
broke an old gentleman by the name of
John Howard. He was a man of strong
prejudices, but was one of tlieiatt of the
earth as to honesty and integrity. When
he believed in a thing he believed in It,
und when lie didn’t, he didn't. In pass
ing the old man’s grave the other day, I
concluded to copy the epitaph, which was
placed by lus own direction on the beauti
ful monument which marks bis last rest
ing place. This is the inscription, after
giving the datC3 of his birth and death:
“He died in the communion of the
Primitive Baptist church; was a zealous
member of the fraternity of F. & A. Ma
sons, to whose highest honors he had at
tained; and was always a conscientious
Whig. He desires his political faith en
graved ou his tomb.”

Americcs Recorder: The end of the
chapter on fish stories has not yet been
reached. The latest promulgation is from
Marion county. The story is a good one,
like everything else emanating from that
people. It is true, for it comes from the
excellent Argus, whose editor is a preach
er. The story goes thus:
“Mr. David Holton, near Tazewell, was
fishing one day last week, and caught
three lish on the same hook. He had
baited a large hook with a minnow, and
soon a small jack fish came along and
made a meal of it. In a short time a larg
er brother jack satisfied his hunger by
swallowing the first jack and his feast.
Before the last named jack had enjoyed
the benefit of his catch, a hungry trout
made a full meal of three others suspended
on the book.”
Gridin News: Suicides inPjkeCoun
ty.—Information reached us yesterday
that Coley Johnson, a young man living
near Hollonville, in Pike county, commit
ted suicide last week by taking moipbine.
A short time previous to his death, an old
negro woman, noticing something singu
lar in his actions, asked him what was the
matter. He replied that he had been tak
ing some medicine. She asked him what,
He replied, “A dose of quinine or strych
nine, I don’t know which.” She then
said, “Ain’t jou afraid you will kill your
self?” He responded very carelessly, “I
don’t care if I do.” But a little while
afterwards he was dead. It will be re
membered by many of our readers that
the deceased in 18<i7 was convicted of as
sault with intent to rape, and sentenced
to the penitentiary. A strong petition
was sent up to Governor Colquitt to par
don him, for the reason that Johnson was
nearly blind and far from bright men
tally. He was pardoned out last year.
The crime that the young man had com
mitted, and the ill respect in which lie
was held by tbe community in which he
lived, preyed upon him to such an extent
that his mind was depressed, and he was
often heard to say that his life was un
satisfactory and a burden to him. It was
this state of feeling that caused him to
take hi3 own life. This makes two sui
cides for Pike county during last week.
The second, Mr. S. G. Slade, was repor
ted ia the News yesterday.
Henry county Weekly: Although the
sale lias been finally confirmed, it is
feared by many that tlie Macon and
Brunswick extension will not touch Hen
ry county after all. There is a rumor to
the effect that some station on the Macon
and Augusta Railroad will be made tlie
initial point, whence it will take a direct
course to Covington, connecting with the
Georgia Railroad at that place. By usin
the tracks of tbe Georgia and Macon an
Augusta roads to and from tbe points in
dicated tlie connecting link can be built
at a saving of at least thirty miles, and
consequently of a vast amount of money.

“We learn,” says the Athens Banner,
“that a survey for the extension of the
Northeastern Railroad, at least as far as
Clarksville, will be made at an early day.
Indeed, we ieam that arrangements have
already been made for this survey. This
is aU right and just as it should be. The
people of Athens and of all Northeast

expecting some movement looking to tbe
extension of this road, and any news
promising activity on that line will be to

Aid Society, of New York, to send boys
South to‘work. Tbe Register says:
“The parties who control the society are
prejudiced against tbe Southern people,
and are not willing to trust the children
m our hands. They have consented,
however, to send a company or two to
Georgia as a sort of experiment. These
boys had been assigned to other counties
before any application had been received
from Franklin. Tbe Secretary expects to
get other companies assigned to Geoigia
during tbe year, and promises that Frank
lin county shall be supplied next, and
will notify the people here in time for
them to send the necessary registration
fee.”
Savannah News: We are informed
that on Sunday afternoon, about dusk, a
disgusting exhibition took place near the
junction of the Louisville- and Augusta
Roads, which attracted a large crowd of
negroes from the surrounding country.
This was a regular prize fight between
two negro men, Henry Mock and John
Mills. The fight was brutal, and lasted
some time. Mock was very badly used
up, his face being tearfully bruised and'
his left side seriously injured. After
several rounds bad been fought, Mock
succumbed, and tbe spectators declared
the fight in favor of Mills. The scene
was disgraceful in the extrelne and lasted
some time.
< onroe Advertiser: Tom Pitman,
negro who is in jail for horse stealing,
was the victim of an accident last week.
He was assisting the jailer to close the
heavy iron door to his cell, when three of
his fingers were caught between the door
and the wall, and were cut entirely ofi.
The wound was dressed by Dr. Moore,
and the prisoner was removed to a lower
and more comfortable room. His wound
will probably not? interfere with his trial
this week.
The same paper says:
Judge Simmons.is an admirable presid

and carries along the business smoothly.
He preserves excellent order and dispatch

without the reign- of terror that is the
method of some judges.
Judge Simmons read law and was ad
mitted to the bar in Forsyth, and our cit
izens are proud of his continued and
steady advancement. He is one of Geor
gia’s solid citizens, whose influence for
good is felt wherever be goes.
Rome Courier: It appears that the
Lookout Mountain Railroad Company has
been organized at Chattanooga, and
solved to-build a road to Rome by tbe first
of March, 1881, That,- with the two
the Northwestern companies are going to
build and the one on the Memphis branch
charter, makes four. There are several
other dead charters hid out, which of
course will soon be vitalized. We say
again one road is enough for tbe business,
and the lands along the line arc too good
to be devoted entirely to railroad tracks.
Do leave some for farming purposes.
Says tbe Cumming Clarion: On Tues
day morning Jim Roc, colored made liis
escape ‘from the jail in this place under
the following circumstances: He was
confined in the lower room of the jail, and
having matches and a lamp with him, he
set to work to bum his way out by burn
ing a hole through tbe trap doors, and
burned a hole sufficiently large to thrust
his arm through and remove the padlock
that secured them down. He then came
to the upper floor and replaced the doors
and crouched behind the outer door, and
as Captain Foster, jailer, started in, he
sprang upon him, pushed him back upon
tlie platform and ran down the steps.
Taluotton Register: Two negroes,
George Walker and another whose name
we could not learn, made their escape
from the jail on last Saturday night, by
tearing off a piece of plank nailed over a
hole'in the floor, through which a former
prisoner had escaped. The hole had been
refilled, and was thought to have been se
cure. George Walker was implicated in
the murder of a negro on Mr. Thomas
Baisden’s place, near Redbone, which we
chronicled, some. ti«n® since. .Nothing

Savannah News: Yesterday morning,
about five o’clock, a policeman found a
white ipan lying on the sidewalk on Bay
street, in a dying condition. Tlie police
man requested the proprietor of a house
on Bay street lane, in the vicinity, to take
charge of the unfortunate man, which he
consented to do. The two then started
to carry the helpless man to the house,
but before they reached it he had expired.
He was taken into the place and the Coro
ner was notified and held an inquest,
when the deceased was recognized as
Roger Coyne. From the testimony given
before the Coroner, it appeared tliat the
deceased liad been drinking freely for
some time, and liad eaten nothing ior ful
ly a week. On Saturday last he had com
plained of a pain in his side and breast.
After considering the evidence the jury
returned a verdict of death from Provi
dential causes. The deceased was about
thirty years of age.

San Francisco's Model Mayor. TtV TTi'T Tl'YIP A T>TT
Kailock as Mayor, says the World, con-; ^ ■** ^ f-ivXJtAIT JZL
tinues to be tbe Kalloch whose unsavory !
and scandalous history drove him from! Portland, March 2.—Deering, Cape

der, made a speech endorsing the atrocious ' Fryeburg and Hiram have all given Re-
resolutions of a bloodthirsty Sand Lots ! publican majorities. Standish give3 a
cabal. The purport of one of those reso
lutions was that if the sand lots heroes
were opposed “by the employment of any
police or other force to interfere with the
peaceful operation of law in the abate
ment of the Chinese nuisance”—that is to
say with the enforcement of the dishonest
and cruel decision of the sand lots Board
of Health—“we will assert and maintain
our rights, avenge our friends and visit
upon the low, designing minions of power,
backed-up though they may be by cow
ardly capitalists aud corporations, punish
ment so swift and speedy that tlie read
er of history will shudder at the
record.”
Now, this model Mayor, this- guardian
of law and order, this precious protector
of property and rights, made a speech in
■support of these atrocious resolutions,
saying that “in substance they embodied,
his views.” Cataline was a respectable
character in comparison.
The ladies sing “in the sweet ‘buy 1

The Exploit of a Mighty Hunter.
The Calais (Maine) Advertiser says:
Here is a new instance of the “spirit of
’76-” While Mr. Joseph Loveritig, of Al
exander, was driving across Meddybemps
lake last week, he saw. a deer on ice.
Starting his horse on the run lie gave
chase to the deer, which slipped badly,
and as it got within a rod of land Mr.
Lovering ran his horse upon it and knock
ed it down, and as he went by in the pur
lie reached out and caught tbe deer, am
throwing it across the pung, cut its throat
and brought the carcass to market. This
was pretty smart hunting for any one.
and a3 Mr. Lovering is seventy-six years
old, his exploit may well be considered
that of a mighty limiter. Few men would
have thought of bunting deer with a horse
and pung and jack-knife, to say nothing
of killing them with such weapons.
HATE FIELD’S BONANZA.
The. Coming Revolution in Dress'
makxner.
The New York correspondent of the
Philadelphia Ledger says:
There is some trouble, I am told, among
the fashionable milliners and modistes of
Fifth avenue, Ninth street and University
place, about the announcement in yester
day’s letter that Miss Kate Field is going
to start a Ladies’ Co-operative Association
with a capital of a quarter of a million
dollars, in shares of $25 each. They say
that if it succeeds the enterprise will drive
them out of the business altogether, just
as the colossal fancy stores, or bazaars, in
Sixth avenue, by meaus of their large cap
ital, have driven tbe smaller storekeepers
to tbe wall. Tbe complaint may not be
unreasonable, but as Miss Kate Field
rarely puts her hand to anythin!
without determining that it slial
be a success, perhaps it would be better
philosophy on tbe part of the modistes
to endeavor to adapt themselves to the
change, instead of making unavailing
complaints about it. Tbe general public,
iu all such . cases, it should be remem
bered, have import aut interests, which
ought not to he overlooked. If they can
get bonnets or dresses made by Miss Kate
Field twenty-five per cent, less, aud in
much less space of time than at present,
the gain to them will be immense. If it
throws some women o it of employment
in one direction it will, on the other
hand, open up a wider field for employ
ment in another, just as the great Sixth
avenue establishments have done. In
any event, Hie movement Is au Interesting
one, and its further progress will be worth
watching. Miss Field may not be pos
sessed of tlie needed capilal herself, but it
is tolerably certain she can command it.
She belongs to a family that has a strong
financial backing, and, what is more, with
brains to know how to turn it to practical
account. ■
The Baltimore Post-Office.
In our night telegrams of Monday, it
was stated that on the motion of Mr. Man
ual, of Maryland, the rules were suspend
ed and the bill passed appropriating $350,-
000 to purchase tlie site for the post-office
in Baltimore. This was'an error. It was
due to the tireless exertions of Mr. Kim-
mell, not Manual, that this bill so impor
tant to Baltimore, was carried through.
The receipts of wheat in Chicago for
1879 were 34,000,000 bushels, larger by
4,000,000 than ever; shipments 31,000,000.
Receipts of com 04,000,000 bushels, or
1,250,000 more than in 1878. All other
business in Chicago increased also.
California is a rich State, capable of
enormous production. It was unfor

the accumulation of property. .The gam

A Heavy Backset
A Washington special to tbe Cincinnati
Republican says the Grant boom has had
a heavy backset, if signs in ' Washington
are of significance. His friends have re
ceived information from New York which
is the reverse of cheerful. This informa
tion is to the general effect that he cannot
carry the State if nominated; that enough
Republicans' will holt tbe nomination to
give fhe State to the Democrats. These
views are confirmed by a writer in New
York, who prints a letter in today’s
Washington Star. He says :*-t,:. .
“If many Republicans intend to vote as
they talk, it would seem to be impossible
for Grant to carry .-Ne\jr York in Novem
ber. , Even those who are friendly to him
personally, and, as a rule, supported- his
administrations, are' so thoroughly im
pressed with the ‘unwritten law of the
constitution’ against a third term, that
they promise to botli work and vote
agaiust him. Many of them go so far as
to state that they will vote for the Cincini
natl nominee, if he proves to have been
consistent on the financial question. Not
even tlie fact that one Presidential term
has intervened, since the last Grant ad
ministration, lias any influence among tlie
opponents. They put their opposition on
tlie hroad ground that no one man in this
country is essential in the Presidential of
fice, to the peace and prosperity of the
Nation; and that security for the present
aud the future demand that this be estab
lished on tbe very threshold of such a
claim. On personal grounds they declare
that no man in this country has been hon
ored like General Graut—as General of
tlie army, twice as President, and as an
American citizen by all the nations of the
earth. The German element, jealous of
any enroachment upon the practice of our
government, even through tlie forms of
law, are almost united against a third
term candidate.”

Tlie following is a repetition of a part of
a Supreme Court decision sent in the late
press dispatches of last night, in which, 1 it
seems, -an ferror vfas made in transmis
sion :
The • defendant in , this case, demanded
tliat some part of the jury should be com
posed of his own race. The denial or that
motion was not a denial of a right secured
to Mm-by ' any law providing for equal
civil rights oi citizens of the United States,
by any statute, or by 'the? Fourteenth
Amendment. A mixed jury in particular
cases is not essential to equal protection of
tlie laws. It! is a right to which any, col
ored man is entitled, that in the election
of jurors to pass upon Lis life, liberty or
property 1 ,'there shall be no exclusion of
liis race because of color, but a different
thing from what, claimed as of right and'
denied in a State Court, viz: A right to
have a jury composed in part of colored
men. From these principles it follows
that the Federal Court liad no rightful
jurisdiction of tlie case aud that a writ oi
mandamus for the restoration of prison
er to the State authorities must be
granted arid tbe court so ordered. Jus
tice Strong delivered the opinion.
Ex~parte Commonwealth of Virginif,

pfhis was a petition for a writ of habeas
corjnis to bring before this Court the case
of Judge Coles, .of, Virginia, indicted in
the Fedral Court for tliq Western District
of that ptatc, for’ violajihn of the act of
Match', 4; 7875,' in excluding colored citi
zens from jury lists, on account of race
and color. . i
The Court hc-hl that the act Under
which'’.Coles was indicted is fully author
ized by the thirteenth and fourteenth
amendments to the Constitution, and that
ft was Judge Coles’ duty, to obey that act.
If he failed to do so, lie was properly liable
to indictment in the Federal Cdurt. The
petition for the writ <>f -habeas corpus is,
therefore, denied.
Justice Strong delivered the opinion.
Justice Field, in a dissenting opinion,; ections to dismiss the bill of conrolaint
(incurred in by Justice Clifford, holds Washington, March 2 A determined
that the act under which the petitioner ! effort was made iu tbe House to-dav un-
was indicted, so far as it related to jurors der the leadership of the Representative

Washington, March 2.—In the Sen
ate bills were introduced and refereed, as
follows;'
By Mr. Harris, to print ten thousand
copies of tbe yellow fever Commission re
ports.
By Mr. Bailey, to refund the National

bond in exchange for outstanding bonded
indebedness.
By Mr. Hoar, a resolution, which was
adopted, providing that the committee on
the Judiciary be instructed to inquire and
report whether auy American citizen has
been arrested and imprisoned for tbe ex
ercise. of their constitutional rights to pe
tition this body concerning the title to a
seat of a Senator from the State of which
they are citizens, with power to send for
persons or papers.
This is supposed to refer lo the action
of a majority of the Louisiana Legislature
in regard to the memorial of a minority of
that body iff relation to Mr. Kellogg’s'seat
in the Senate.
Senator Logan spok# at great length on
the Fitz John Porter bill. He opposed
the bill, holding that there was no appeal
from the decision of au organized court-
martial. Hp was interrupted by Mr. Hill,
of Georgia, and Mr. Jones, of Florida, and
devoted some time to answering their in
quiries. Mr. Logan’s argument was tech
nical in character. He admitted that the
President may pardon Porter to-morrow,
and that Congress can authorize his ap
pointment, if they chose, as an army offi
cer. Adjourned.
In the House Mr. Blackburn’s motion
led to a spirited debate between Messrs
Conger, Frye, House, Garfield and oth
ers, an amendment to Rulm 21 being
the subject of dispute. The amendment
to Rule 21, known as the Morrison substi
tute, was agreed to. The next amend
ment was-one requiring the yeas and nays
to bo taken on the passage of any bill ap
propriating money or relating to the rev
enue laws. .After being amended so as
to require the yeas and nay3 to be taken
on tlie passage of tbe general appropria
tion and revenue bills aud .bills for the
improvement of rivers and harbors, it was
agreed tQ. Several other minor amend
ments were agreed to, and a great num
ber of others were rejected, after which
the revised rules were adopted by a vote
of 122 to 8S, and on motion of Mr. Gar
field, it was agreed that they should go
into effect Monday next. The House
then adjourned.
The House Committee of Ways and
Means virtually decided to-day against
any revision of the tariff laws during the
present session of Congress by indefinite
ly postponing the consideration of the su
gar question, the steel rail question and
the bill reducing tbe tarifi' on certain arti
cles embraced in section 2,004 of tbe Re
vised Statutes. Tliree votes were taken
by the committee resulting seven to six in
each instance. Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana,
favored tlie revision of both internal reve
nue and tariff system with a view to equal
izing the burdens of taxation upon all
classes and interests, .and offered a resolu
tion for appointment of a committee of
live members to take into consideration
tlie entire subject and report at the open
ing, of the next session cf Congress.
Tho resolution was, however, on mo
tion of Morrsion, tabled by a vote of
seven to six as follows: Yeas, Morrison,
Mills, Garfield, Kelley, Conger, Frye and
Wood. Kays, Tucker, Gibson, Phelps,
Carlisle, Felton and Donnell.
As the questions disposed of to-day are
considered the most important that have
been referred to tlie committee during tlie
present session, the result is generally ac
cepted as ail indication that no tampering
with tlie tariff' will be encouraged or per
mitted by this Congress.
Washington, March 2.—Suit was en

Sunday morning by a mixed white and

of the outrage and identified by liis victim.
A vote of tbe posse was taken and it was
decided not to lynch bim, but to let tiie
law take its course. Kinder was then
taken to George’s station and placed in
the guard house unier a strong guard.
Monday morning he was sent to Wal-
terboro to jail, still strongly guarded. Ou
their way to Walterboro the guard was
overpowered by an armed force consisting,
it is said, largely of the relatives of tbe
outraged lady, and the prisoner was con
veyed to a secluded spot in the woods
where he was kept till night. About
nine o’clock last night he was again con
fronted with the lady whom he had out
raged and again identified. He was
again taken to the woods where prepara
tions were made to hang him.
At the last moment j|he confessed the
crime, and also confessed to a similar out
rage upon a colored woman in Newberry
six years'ago. He further acknowledged
the killing of a colored girl near Lang-
stree last April, and confessed to four
burglaries and innumerable thefts. At
ten. thirty o’clock, he was hanged, and af
ter firing a volley of pistol shots into <his
body, the crowd quietly dispersed. Kin
der was a dangerous outlaw, -who for over
a year had been tbe terror pi tlie neighbor
hood on which lie preyed, and the action
of tlie .yigilauts is heartily endorsed by
both white and colored residents of the
vicinity. :
