We learn from the Athens Banner that
on Wednesday night last, as the passen
ger train on the Northeast Railroad go: to
Nicholson, the Postmaster at that place
went down to get the mail bags, and
found that Mr. Bill Davis, the mail agent
on the road, was not in the car. Mr. Pat
terson, the conductor, said that he last
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
conscious state, his head badly cut, and,
it is thought, with his skull broken. No
one seems to know how he happened to
fall out of the car, and Davis himself is
not iu a condition to tell anything about
it.
Thomasville Times: We noticed the
fact of Mr. I. T. Taylor’s horse having
been found tied to a sapling near Mr.
Blackshear’s last week, and the additional
fact that Mr. Taylor had not been heard
from for several days. We predicted,
however, that Tom would turn up, which
he did on Friday afternoon. It seems
that some footsore, impecunious specimen
had taken Mr. Taylor’s horse from the
neighborhood of Grooverville, and had
utilized the beast in getting to Tbomas-
ville, leaving it tied out as stated.
Griffin News: Mr. S. S. Swann,
well known farmer of Monroe county,
came to town to-day in his wagon, and
after transacting various matters of busi
ness, started home. He sat in the rear end
of the .vagon, a negro man driving. Just
after leaving town, Mr. Swann fell sud
denly out of the wagon, falling on his
head, and breaking his neck. Death re
sulted immediately. The deceased was
about sixty years of age.
Dublin Gazette: Sadly Disappoint-
u.. Last Saturday Mr. Tom Maddox
lost his store key and failed to find it.
During the day he put a new lock on just
above the old one and during the night
succeeding, some one went to the door
ami unbolted the old lock, and by violent
pushing aroused Mr. M., who, getting up,
made a noise and the would-be theif ran
off. The key had been found and the
intention was to go in and commit a bur
glary.
Dublin Gazette: Last Monday, as
Messrs. E. L. and W. F. Harvard were
coming to town, their horse became fright

nor was the buggy scratched.
Correspondence of the Griffin News:
Wlien 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 the salt of the
earth as to honesty and integrity. When
he believed in a thing he believed in it,
and when he 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 his own direction on the beauti
ful monument which marks his last rest
ing place. This is the inscription, after
giving the dates of his birth and death:
“He died in the communion of tljq
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 on his tomb.' 5
Conyers Examiner: A species of out
lawry and malicious mischief perpetrated
in our town, on last Saturday night is dis
graceful in the highest extent, the young
men, or boys, or who ever have lowered
themselves to such a degree as to engage
in such disreputable conduct, and if caught
should be made to suffer the full penalty
of the law. A party of young men or
boys were parading the streets at a late
hour at night, shooting pistols, yelling and
disturbing citizens. Not satisfied w(th this,
they took their knives and slit up the awn
ing of H. P. & D. M. Almand & Co., pas
sing the residence of J. R. Langford,
threw rocks, and some other missies on the
"iass top of his hot-house for plants, de
molishing the glass. The marshal is on
their 'rack, and tldnks he lias a clew that

Prof. Link is a thorough gentleman, a

Americus 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 Arffus, whose editor is a preach
er. The story goes thus:
“Mr. David Holton, near Tazewell, was
fishing one day last week, and caught
three fish 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 hook.”
Griffin News: Suicides in Pike Coun
ty.—Information reached us yesterday
that Coley Johnson, a young man living
near Holionville, in PiKe county, commit
ted suicide last week by taking morphine.
A short time previous to his death, an old
negro woman, noticing something singu
lar^ in liis 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 you 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 18OT 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 he
was held by the 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 his own life. This makes two sui
cides for Pike county during last week,
The second, Mr. S. G. Slade, was repor
ted in the News yesterday.
Henry county Weekly: Although the
sale has been finally. confirmed, it is
feared by many that the 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 tlic
initial point, whence it will take a direct
course to Covington, connecting with the
Georgia Railroad at that place. By using
the tracks of the Georgia and Macon and
Augusta roads to and from the points in
dicated the 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,

The Franklin Register says that Col
onel Newman, Secretary of the Depart-1
ment of-Land and Immigration in Atlanta,
lias informed it that he had met with
.much difficulty in inducing the Children’s
Aid Society, of New York, to send boys
South to work. The Register says:
“The parties who control the society are
prejudiced against the Southern people,
and are not willing to trust the children
in our bands. 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 bad been received
from Franklin. The Secretary expects to
get other companies assigned to Georgia
during the 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 laige 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 had been fought, Mock
succumbed, and the spectators declared
the figlit in favor of Mills. The scene
was disgraceful in the extreme and lasted
some time.
a onroe Advertiser: Tom Pi'nnan, a
negro who is fn 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
liis fingers were caught between the door
and the wall, and were cut entirely off.
Tlie 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
ing officer. He is very quiet in. manner
and carries along the business smoothly.
He preserves excellent order and dispatch
es business rapidly, but does so in a pleas
ant manner, by commanding respect,
without the reign of terror that is the
met hod 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 lie goes.
Rome Courier: It appears that the
Lookout Mountain Railroad Company has
been organized at Chattanooga, and re
solved to build a road to Rome by the first
of March, 1S81. 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 the business,
and the lands along the line are too good
to be devoted entirely to railroad tracks.
Do leave some for farming purposes.
Says the Cumming Clarion: On Tues
day morning Jim Roc, colored made his
escape from the jail in this place under
the following circumstances: Hp was
confined in the lower room of the jail, and
having matches and a lamp with him/he
set to work to bum.liis way out by burn
ing a bole through the trap doors, and
burned a hole sufficiently large to thrust
bis arm through and remove the padlock
that seciued 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
the platform and rau down the steps.
Talbotton 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
bole iu 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 time since. Nothing
has as yet been heard of the escaped
birds.
Savannah Neics: Yesterday morning,
about five o’clock, a policeman found a
white man lying cuRtlie sidewalk on Bay
street, in a dying condition. The police
man requested the proprietor of a house
on Bay street lane, in the vicinity, to take
charge of tlie unfortunate man, which he
consented to do. The two then started
to carry tlie helpless man to the house,
but before they reached it be 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 tlie Coroner, it appeared that the
deceased had been drinking freely for
some time, and had eaten nothing for 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.
The Pcnfield correspondent of the Ogle
thorpe Echo writes as follows; ' | ■

halls, that were planted by our fathers
and loved by us all, to go to rack. And

A Heavy Backset
A Washington special to the Cincinnati
Republican says tlie Grant boom lias had
a heavy backset, if signs in Washington
are of significance. His friends have re
ceived information from New Yori 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 bolt the nomination to
give the State to the Democrats. These
views are confirmed by a writer in New
York, who prints a letter in to-day’s
Washington Star. He says:
“If many Republicans intend to-' vote as
they talk, it would seem to be impossible
for Grant to carry /New 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

San Francisco’s Model Mayor.
Kallock as Mayor, says the World, con
tinues to be the Kallocli whose unsavory
and scandalous history drove him from
his early home. Day before yesterday
this Mayor, this precious guardian of or
der, made a speech endorsing the atrocious
resolutions of a bloodthirsty Sand Lots
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 onr friends and visit
upon the low, designing minions of power,
backed up though they may be by cow
ardly capitalists and corporations, punish
ment so swift and speedy that the read
er of history will shudder at the
record.”
Now, this model Mayor, thi3 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 embodiei.
his views.” Cataline was a respectable
character in comparison.
The ladies sing “in the sweet ‘buy’

store,” and we certainly can raise no ob
jection. But remember the little home,

BY TELEGRAPH
The Exploit of a Mighty Hunter.
The Calais (Maine) Advertiser says:
Here is a new instance of the “spirit of
’76-” While Mr. Joseph Lovering, 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 pung
he reached out and caught the deer, and,
throwing it across the pung, cut its throat
and brought the carcass to market. This
was pretty smart hunting for any one,
and as Mr. Lovering is seventy-six years
old, bis exploit may well be considered
that of a mighty hunter. Few men would
have thought of hunting deer witli a horse
and pung and jack-knife, to say nothing
of killing them with such weapons.
KATE FIELD’S BONANZA.
The Coming Revolution in Dress*
makiner.
The New York correspondent of tlie
Philadelphia Ledger 1 *ys:
There is some trouble, I am told, among
the fasliionable 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 theeuterprise will drive
them oqt of the business altogether, just
as the colossal faftcy stores, or bazaars, in
Sixth avenue, by means of their large cap
ital, have driven the smaller storekeepers
to the Wall. The complaint may liot be
unreasonable, but as Miss Kate Field
rarely puts ber hand to anything
without determining that it shall
be a success, perhaps it would be better
philosophy on the part of the modistes
to endeavor to adapt themselves to the
change, instead of making unavailing
complaints about it. Tlie general public,
in all such cases, it should be remem
bered, have important interests, which
ought not to be overlooked. If they can
get bonnets or dresses made by Miss Kate
Field twenty-five per cent, less, and in
much less space of time than at present,
the gain to them will be immense, ilf it
throws some women oat of employment
in one direction it will, 011 the other
band, open up a wider field for employ
ment in another, just as the great .Sixth
avenue establishments Lave done. In
any event, tlie movement is an interesting
one, and its further progresswill be worth
watching. ’ Miss Field may not be pos
sessed of the needed capital herself, but it
is tolerably certain she can command it,
She belongs to a family that lias a strong
financial backing, and, what is more, with
brains to know how to turn it to practical
account.

A Modern Soloslan Needed—On
Wednesday afternoon, a white male child,
fifteen months old, was left in the back
yard of the house of Mr. William H.
Kessler, No. 104 North Wolfe j street,
Philadelphia, and was aiterwardk'taken
charge of by Mrs. Sarah Parrot, who de
sired to adopt / it. Yesterday a parried
lady, living in East Baltimore, went to
Mrs. Parrot stating that she Was the
mother of the cliild and demanded its re
turn. Her explanation ot tlie circumstan
ces ofleaving the cliild, was that
took the yard for that of the house of the
child’s grandmother, who lived ramr by,
and in whose charge she intended jo leAVe
the infant. Mrs. Parrot, however, posi
tively declined to part with thp child,
which had come into her possession so

a Supreme Court decision sent in tlie lato
press dispatches of last nighty in which, it
seems, an error wa3 made in transmis
sion:
Tlie ’ defendant in this case demanded
that some part of the jury should be com
posed of liis own race. The denial of that
motion was not a denial of a right secured
to him by any law providing for equal
civil rights of citizens of the United States,
by • anv statute, or by the Fourteenth
Amendment. A mixed jury in particular
cases is not essential to equal protection of
the laws. It is a right to which any col
ored man is entitled, that in the election
■of jurors to. .pass upon his life, liberty or
property, there shall, be no exclusion of
liis race because of color, but a diilerent
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 had no rightful
jurisdiction of the case and that a writ 01

granted and tlie court so ordered. Jus

Washington, March 2.—In the Sen
ate bills were introduced and referred, as
follows .*
By Mr. Harris, to print ten thousand
copies of the yellow fever Commission re
ports.
By Mr. Bailey, to refund the National
debt. It proposes a new three per cent
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 any American citizen has
been arrested and imprisoned for the 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 to the action
of a majority of the Louisiana Legislature
in regard to the memorial of a minority of
that body in 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 an organized court-
martial. He was interrupted by Mr. Hill
of Georgia, and Mr. Jones, of Florida, anil
devoted some time to answering their in
quiries. Mr. Logan’s argument w&3 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 Rule 21 being
tlie 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 be taken on the passage of any bill ap
propriating money or relating to the rev
enue laws. After being amended so as
to require tlie yeas and nays to be taken
on the passage of the general appropria
tion and revenue bills and bills for the
improvement of rivers and harbors, it was
agreed to. 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 88, 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 the tariff on certain arti
cles embraced in section 2,504 of the Re
vised Statutes. Three votes were taken
by the committee resulting seven to six in
each instance. Mr. Gibson, of Louisiana,
favored the revision of both internal reve
nue and tariff system with a view to equal
izing tlie burdens of taxation upon all
-’asses and interests, and offered a resolu
tion for appointment of a committee of
five members to take into consideration
the entire subject and report at the open
ing of the next session of Congress.
The 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. Nays, Tucker, Gibson, Phelps,
Carlisle, Felton and Donnell.
As the questions disposed of to-day are
considered the most important that Lave
been referred to tlie committee during the
present session, the result is generally ac
cepted as an indication that no tampering
with the tariff will be encouraged or per
mitted by this Congress.
Washington, March 2.—Suit was en
tered in the District Supreme Court to
day against Senator Hill, of Georgia. He

Charleston, March 2.—On Saturday
last a one-armed negro named Louis Kin
der committed an outrageous assault upon
a white woman named Byrd, residing
near George’s station, Colleton county,
about fifty "miles from this city. A hunt
was organized and the villain captured
Sunday morning by a mixed white and
black posse. He was taken to the scene
of the outrage and identified by his victim
A vote of tlie posse was taken and it was
decided not to lynch him, but to let the
law take its course. Kinder was then
taken to George’s station and placed in
tlie guard house un ier a strong guard.
Monday morning he was sent to Wal-
terboro to jail, still strongly guarded. On
their way to Walterboro the guard was
overpowered by an armed force consisting,
it is said, largely of tlie relatives of the
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 be liad out
raged and again identified. He was
again taken to the woods where prepara
tions were made to hang him.
At the last. moment ghe 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, tlie crowd quietly dispersed. Kin
der was a dangerous outlaw, who for over
a year had been the terror oi the neighbor
hood on which he preyed, and the action
of the vigilauts is heartily endorsed by
both white and colored residents of the
vicinity.

Midland railroad. It commenced in
Caxo and Cadwises contract near Cbar-
lottsville, distant from this place about
twenty-eight miles and continued along
tbe line until it reached Charlottsville,

excitement prevailed here last night, in

special states that at about half past two
yesterday morning, a loud explosion
awoke the inhabitants of Berger, Gennes-
see county, and a barn near King's

village, was discovered on fire. Another
heavy explosion occurred, and the roof of
Fulley’s hardware store was hurled to the
ground in fragments. Almost immedi
ately a third explo-ion occurred in an ad
joining building, and in a few moments
the flames spread along the whole street.
The fire apparatus was in one of the first
on fire, and there was nothing with which
to fight the fire. Aid was telegraphed for
from Rochester, but before a response
could be made to tbe call, the entire busi
ness portion of Berger was in ruins.
Twenty-eight business places and nine
dwellings were destroyed. Tbe fire is
plainly the work of incendiaries, as evi
dences of a train of powder from the bam
tothe buildings where the second and third
explosions occurred, could be easily traced
while the fire was raging. Loss, forty
thousand dollars. •
New York, March 3.—A Columbia,
South Carolina, special states that yester

speak to you, brother,” and simultaneous
ly drew a large knife, make a slash at his
brother's throat, causing a terrible gash
which severed the jugular vein, causing
death in a few minutes. The slayer then
rushed iutoau adjoining room and cut his
wife’s throat from ear to ear. He then took
tbe bloody knife and deliberately cut his

laborin': under temporary mental aberra
tion, as'he was a sober, kind-hearted man
and on most affectionate terms with Iris
wife and brother.
