Telegraph & Messenger. SATURDAY MORNING. JUDY 22, 1871- Itev. Jabez L. St. Carry, LL. 1>. The successor elect of Dr. Tucker, the laie distinguished nnd popular President of Mercer University, is a gentleman of commanding elo quence and high literary attainments. Even as a student in Franklin College, where the writer was intimately associated with him for three and a half years, his early career gave great promise of future eminence and usefulness. Possessing a fine imagination and ready flow of language, he was regarded as a leader in the Phi Kappa Society, at a period when oratorical distinction was more eagerly sought after than literary honors. Graceful in delivery, and ele gant in diotion, Mr. Curry’s speeches always commanded attention, and sometimes were splendid specimens of eloquence. His gradu ating address, based npon this melting couplet of tho poet,— "No more, no more, eh never more on me. The freshness of tho heart can fall, like dew,” by its tonehing pathos, fervor, and beauty of conception, hushed into breathless silence the immense auditory which thronged the College chapel. It was said to have been a daguerotype of tho speaker’s own emotions and experience, viewed from the stand point of an escapade in love. In aftor years our young horo quite recovered from this eclipse of the Soul, rose rapidly at the bar, and, entering the political arena became at once tho favorite of the people of his section. Soon ho was elected to the Federal Congress, where bis eloquence and genius commanded the admiration of the nation. At a period just pro ceeding the war, he was justly considered tho leader of his party in tho House of Representa tives. Tho records of Congress glow with his brilliant and patriotic appeals in behalf of Southern rights and institutions. Aftorward3, Mr. Curry again represented Ala bama in tho Confederate Congress, and during the entiro rebellion was a warm and consistent supporter of the South. When the war ended, disgusted with public life and its empty honors, ho devoted himself to tho service of God, and was ordained a minis ter in the Baptist Chnrch. His courso as a di vine, and subsequent election to the presidency of the college at Richmond, are well known to our readers. Every lover of education in Geor gia will unite in the wish, that Dr. Curry would respond favorably to tho invitation of the Trus tees of Mercer University. His name would be a tower of strength to the Institution, and his presence here exert a benignant influence upon our community. Ororgtii Practical Business College. This institution, which is located in our city with B. B. Euston, Esq., as President, enjoys deserved and increasing favor throughout the State. As a business school for young men pre paring to enter upon tho practical duties of life, it is invaluable. Here, too, the regular graduate, after leaving college, will derivo incalculable bonefit by familiarizing himself with the science of acoounts and book-keeping, and thus acquire method and system in all the after concerns of life. From Mr. Easton wo learn that Atlanta, true to her gobbling instincts, through a rival institu tion, claiming falsely to be a branch of a Commercial College of note in Poughkeepsie, has sought to entice away his students, '‘through private notes endorsed in a fictitious style to avoid detection.” Happily, the fraud was ex posed, however, by Mr. Eastman, the President of the college referred to, as his published state ment most fully shows. These underhanded efforts must recoil upon their authors. Our Macon college is emphatically Southern in ita inception and management, and does not seek to borrow fame from Yankeeland. Each department is presided over by a competent head, and as thoro aro no vacations, students can enter at any timo. No better institution of the kind can be found at the South. Manon or the Choleba.—The cholera is moving from the Orient towards western civili zation, much as it did thirty years ago. To-day, it is reportod ns raging terribly in Persia, whilo it has nlfio appeared in Poland. Thirty years ago it swept through the oast end then advanced upon Russia, attended with fearful mortality. It reached the American continent in 1832 and spread all over tho country, the emissary of terror and death. The frosts of winter do not stay it, like other epidemics. It is to be fought mainly by the removal of all causes of disease— by rigid personal and public cleanliness, and a good, healthy and nutritions diet for the poor. Filth and scanty food are its potent adjuncts. We believe the cholera has never prevailed to any extont in the puro regions of the Southern States. Aitkotino.—The other day an Irish gar dener at Mount Vernon, observod a transcen dental lady from the Hub weeping bitterly and nudibly with her handkerchief to her eyes. With truo Hibernian politeness he accosted her nnd asked the cause of her violent grief. “Ab," said sho, “how can any patriotic American wo man look npon tho tomb of the Father of her country, and not pour out her soul in an ag ony of sorrow ?” “Faith, Madame,” said he, “that’s not the tomb—it’s but the family ice house ye see.” Livebpooz. Cotton Figures.—Friday’s report for the week came to hand yesterday noon. The market had fully recovered the decline of the week and advanced an eighth over the previous Friday’s quotations, which wore 9d for uplands and 9ji for Orleans. The sales of the morning were 20,000 bales, of which ten thousand were taken on speculation. Sales of tho week 69,000 bales.—Stock 660,000—precisely the same as last week. No report of cotton afloat. Stock of American cotton in Liverpool 385,000 bales. “Acme.”—Messrs. Jones & Baxter have a proclamation elsewhere which is decidedly in teresting, particularly that part about “Acme ” He's whisky, you know—and such whisky! Two doses will cure the worst case of impe- cuniosity in Macon. It runs on velvet and sprangles to the very tips of your toes. If those Elberton Good Templars got a taste of it they’d swear off from “buttermilk” forever and a day. Whoopee! (hie) — hooray! (hio) — never say die!—and (hio) we won’t go home till morning! Lours Beano, replying to some taunts of sym pathy with the Communists, said: “The Com munists were tho most infamous scoundrels ever vomited upon the earth from the basement story of hell.” White will get out of that, by-and-by, by saying that he don’t believe in any such place and therefore meant nothing by the declaration. Accident at Fobstth.—We learn that a man from Atlanta whose name our informant could not give ns, while repairing the gable end of the new Methodist Church, at Forsyth, yesterday fell from the scaffolding to the ground, and was, it is feared, fatally injured. A Hot Peace —At Denver City, in Colorado last Saturday, the mercury stood at noon in tho anode 110, and in the evening 105. We do not believe they have had hotter weather than that in Atlanta. Cooleb.—Friday morning at six o’clock the mercury indicated 07—a heavy descent from previous exaltation. A Crisis in NortU Carolina. On Tuesday, the 1st day of August, North Carolina holds an eleclionlo determine whether or no a Covention of the people shall be held to amend the Constitution in certain particulars specified in the act providing for the election. The existing Constitution, which was the work of carpet-bag and negro politicians, provides that such a Convention can only be called by a vote of two-thirds of each House of the Legis lature. At the last session of the North Caro lina General Assembly the Democrats, though in heavy majority, did -not hold two thirds of either House. They, therefore, in order to ef fect certain constitutional amendments which they deemed indispensable to the Bafety and welfare of the State, determined to resort to the primary source of all political power, and obtain from the people themselves by an election, under statute enacted for that purpose, a call for a constitutional convention. We apprehend there can be no reasonable question of their right to do it The constitu tion itself is, at best, but the oreature of the people, and a solemn affirmation by a majority of the people, nnder the sanctions of the law, that they desired to amend or to make a new one, wonld be conclusive against the conflicting provisions of the old constitution. The people cannot bind themselves, as against themselves merely—no more than one Legislature can bind another where the lights of no third parties are involved. Tho tax-payers of North Carolina felt im pelled to this movement in order to save them selves from impending ruin. Under this con stitution and ita carpet-bag administrators, tho State debt has been increased from fourteen millions to nearly forty millions of dollars—for which there is literally nothing to show—not oven the ill-constructed and non-paying rail ways which are to be found in some of the other “reconstructed States.” Tho money has been simply stolen. The civil list of the State for ordinary expenses has been swollen four hundred per centnm on anto-bellum cost, and taxation mnstbe levied, if the provisions of this constitution are carried ont, so as to raise a yearly revenue of four to five millions of dollars. Now, on tho other hand, the carpet-bag Lient. Governor of the State, backed by all his party, declares the movement for a convention revo lutionary, and having exhausted all means to de feat it at the polls, will appeal to tho Federal Government. What the course of the Federal Government is likely to be, under the adminis tration of Grant, has been foreshadowed by Attorney General Akerman, in his speech on the 16 th. Bad as the case of the North Carolinians now is—(and it is simply naked robbery of the prop erty holders through the instrumentality of vagabond negroes and whites controlled by Northern adventurers,) it is not impossible that it may be made much worse by this un timely movement. It is akin to the Georgia movement disfranchising the negroes. Noth ing is gained by making battle where ultimate defeat is certain. The impeachment of the in famous Holden, though due to justice, it seems to us was another misstep. Nothing was gained by it. It devolved the Governorship on Cald well, who is no better than Holden, and it has been made a new pretext for harrying the State with still greater venom. The Southern tax payers should never forget that they are in the hands of their enemies, who seek only occa sions and excuses to do them harm. The only hope of the Southern people is to wait with pa tience the revival of better feelings and sounder opinions in the dominant States. Until then, the effort to redress themselves only hinders reaction, and increases their miseries. They cannot well movo with too great circumspec tion. They cannot be too carefnl to keep with in the clear and indispntable boundaries of law and civil and political order. They cannot bo too cautious to give their enemies no occa sion against them. Tile Antecedents of Sirs. WIinrton, tlie Al lowed Baltimore IEorjcln—Her Passion Tor Press—She Annonnccs Her Intention to Marry One Man nnd Rims Away With Another—A Romantic Story. The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, of a lato date, has a long acconnt of the antecedents and early life, in that city, of Mrs. Wharton, the alleged Baltimore poisoner, from which we make the following synopsis: Her maiden name was Ellen Nagent, and sho was born in Philadelphia abont forty-five years ago, her father being a prominent and wealthy importer of that city, She was educa ted at Bishop Doane’s Seminary at Burlington, New Jerey, and after graduating from that in stitution, soon became one of the belles of Philadelphia society. Her personal charms must have been very great at that period, as we are told she was of slender and graceful, yet queenly bearing, with magnificent jet-black hair of unusual length, dark eyes, and fair complex ion. Bat those who knew her well say that that was the least of her attractions. It was her engaging manner, her winning ways, her dashiDg, inspiring disposition that bound cap tive at the chariot-wheel of Cnpid so many of her male acquaintances. One of her most noted characteristics that abont this time first began to attract attention, was an inordinate passion for dress which, as her father was well able to afford it, was grati fied to her utmost desire. He allowed her the pin money of a dutchess, but even this did not suffice, end very soon he was called npon to pay bills amounting to thousands, which she had contracted. Investigation showed that she had not spent the money npon herself, bnt that it had been laid ont in presents of lace, jewelry, etc., for her young friends. Nugent, pere, paid them of coarse, and equally, of conrse, forgave his beantifnl idol. We come nov. to the most remarkable event of her early life. One day she announced to her father and friends that she was soon to be married to a Mr. Williamson, who had, hereto fore, been regarded only in the light of a casual acquaintance. Their surprise was great, but no opposition was made, and on the appointed night a brilliant company assembled to witness the ceremony. The hour came, but no bride groom. Midnight came, and he still tarried, and finally the guests dispersed without seeing what they came to see. Her father of course immediately waited upon Mr. W. for an explan ation, and was told that he (Mr. W.) had not contracted the marriage, and knew nothing whatever of it. This astounded Mr. Nngent, bnt subsequent investigation proved its correct ness, and after pondering the whole matter he concluded that his daughter was insane and re solved to place her in an asylum. The night before she was to hove been carried there, how ever, she eloped with Lt. Harry W. Wharton, and going to Philadelphia was there married to him. The Telegraph article concludes as follows : The rnnaway couple had not been loDg from home until they received assurance of for giveness, and returned to the honse at Gn’.f Mills. They also, for a time, lived at Norris town, nnd in Philadelphia again. It wasn’t long after marriage until Mrs. Wharton was in financial difficulties again, which were again settled by her indulgent father. After this her husband, who was captain now, was stationed at Fort Kearney for some five or seven years. Mrs. Wharton accompanied him, as indeed she did in all his wanderings, even going down into Texas with him on one occasion. While out njfcin the plains the eyesight of the captain had become defective, and he and his wife returned to Philadelphia again. At the breaking out of the war the captain got a commission in a Delaware regiment, and eventually was appointed general disbursing agent, having his headquarters in Eutaw street, Baltimore, right near his bouse in “Hamilton Place.” With the exception of a short time they lived in Washington, this was his home np to his mysterious death in 1867. Card From Colonel Hardeman. Macon, Ga., July 21, 1871. Editors Telegraph and Messenger: — I was surprised to see in your telegrams from "Wash ington—as published in your issue of this date —that the Democratic members of the Con gressional Investigating Committee were com* plaining at the tardiness of some of the wit nesses from Georgia—myself among tho num ber. I was summoned to appear on the 7th of July, and requested to reply by telegram, which I did, stating sickness would detain me a day or two, but wonld report at any time thereafter. Four days thereafter I telegraphed the Sear- gent-at-Arms, from whom my summons came, I was ready to report, and from him received the following reply: COPY. “Washington, July 12. ll T. Hardeman, Jr,: Need not come—-Com' mittee have not time for more witnesses.” [Signed] Jno. R. French, Sg’E-at-Arms, U. S. 8. I expected to have gone the next day, bnt this telegr»m, of course, prevented. I write this simply to says :I was ready and willing to report, and wonld have done so but for this tel egram, which came, as I supposed, from the Committee, with the knowledge ol the Demo cralic members. I would infer from the tele gram this morning that they were ignorant of the same. Respectfully, T. Hardeman, Jb. P. S.—Since this card was handed us, Col. Hardeman has received another telegram from the Sergeant-at-Arms summoning him to Wash ington immediately, and he leaves for that city this afternoon at 5 o’clock. THE GEORGIA 1>KESS. _ For refnsiDgto obey a writ of habeas corpus, Judge Schley, of the Savannah circuit, has jailed W. W. Mitchell and Simon Lee, a negro, of Bulloch county. Twenty-fonr hours with the Savannah mosquitoes will doubtless put them in a proper frame of mind. The Ghroniolo and Sentinel, of Thursday, re ports the damago done by the late storm at the Bath Paper Mill and tho Langley Factory, greater than first stated. Both will have to sus pend work for several months. Not only tho dam, but also tho over-fall of the paper mill was destroyed, which will greatly increase the labor and expense of rebuilding. The Tax Receiver of Richmond county, and the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Railroad aro at loggerheads. The railroad returns its new bridge at Augusta at only §25,000, and its freight depot and lot at §20,000, while the Re ceiver insists that, as the former cost nearly §100,000 and the latter §30,000, its a sinful game to put ’em down so low. A board of ar bitration will decide between them. An Atlanta correspondent of the Chronicle and Sentinel, nnder date of the 18th instant, writes that “Bullock is on one of his extrava gant sprees again,” and specifies a few of his freaks as follows: On the 6th instant a warrant waspaidin favor of E. C. Murphy and W. W. Rasbnry for §6,- 000 “for services rendered nnder Executive or der.” This amount was paid them for their services in the Fish murder case in Macon county. That murder has been a most expen sive one to the State, the various sums paid ont already amounting to nearly §10,000, viz: To Colonel W. A. Hawkins and General Phillip Cook, §1,000 each for legal services; other at torneys, §500; Mnrphy and Rasbnry, §6,000, besides the expenses of the Attorney General. But Bullock’s latest and best draw is a §5,000 warrant drawn in favor of G. M. Hood for simply arresting Jamef Oxford, charged with the crime of murder in Hancock county. The circum stances are abont as follows: Some time in 18G7 or 1868 Oxford committed murder, was arrested and confined in the Hancock county jail. In October, 18G9, a party of Oxford’s friends went to the jail, overpowered the jailor, and released him. Bullock, on the 31st of January, 1870, offered (by proclamation) a reward of §5,000 for the arrest of, “with evidence to convict," said Oxford. Time passed on, and on the 23d of last March, Bullock, by special order, revoked his proclamation of 31st January, 1870, and on the same day (23d March, 1871) issued another proclamation, offering a reward of §5,000 sim ply for the arrest of said Oxford, leaving ont the words '•'with evidence sufficient to convict "When this last named proclamation was sent from the Exocntive office to the Secretary of State’s office to be recorded, I found, npon an examination of said record, the following note, which was Bollock's instructions regarding said proclamation: "Mr. Flesh (who is one of Bul lock’s private clerks) says it is the Governor's order that the aboqe (referring to said proclama tion) be recorded, out not published in the neics- papers, until further order, of which time the Governor will notify the Department of State, and that Judge Gibson be furnished with a cer tified copy." Said proclamation has never been pnblished. Judge Gibson was in Atlanta on the 22d and 23d of March last, and left on the 24th. Judge Gibson was furnished a certified copy of said proclamation. The most peculiar thing in connection with these large rewards is that the warrants are sel dom presented at the Treasurer’s counter by the parties named therein, bnt by some one of Bullock’s particular favorites. Don’t you think this rather queer ? Now, who Mr. G. M. Hood is, I don’t know (maybe Judge Gibson does), but the warrant for §5,000, drawn in his name, waBnot presented by him, bnt bya Mr. McCalla, the present proprietor and keeper of the re cords of the late management of the State Road. Bollock has paid, by executive warrants, to ono Allen J. Bell, brother of the Comptroller General, §5,000 for making a list of returned wild lands in the State, when ho has been receiv ing regularly for more than two yeara a aalary of §1,800 per annum as "Wild Land Clerk in the Comptroller General’s office. Mr. P. Hertel, of Brunswick, has been ap pointed Master Machinist of the Brunswick and Albany Bailroad. “The Floyd Boat Club,” of Brunswick, had their boat, the “Brick Pomeroy,” so badly shat tered by a stroke of lightning last Sunday, that it will be impossible to repair it. The Radical majority in Thomas county is steadily diminishing. Aaron Wyche, a hand on the Albany and Gulf Railroad, was drowned in the Ocklockonee river, last Saturday. We clip as follows, from tho Thomasvilie En terprise of Wednesday: A Forgery Case.—It appears that Mr. Geo. Colvin, a citizen of this county, acting nnder a power of attorney from one James Bradley, of Gwinnett county, Ga, recently sold lot of land No. 353 in the 18th district of Thomas, to Mr. P. D. Arnold, master of the section of rail road between this point and the Ocklockonee river. Subsequently doubt arose as to the gen uineness of this title, and upon an examination of the power of attorney, it was discoverd that the chirograps of the writer and signer, James Bradley, the witness, Prince Williams, and Jesse Mnrphy, N. P., were identical. This led to an investigation of the matter, and Mr. J. T. Kottman, at the instance of Mr. Arnold, ad dressed a letter to the Ordinary of Gwinnett, inquiring after the above-mentioned parties. The Ordinary responded to the effect that there were no such persons as Bradley and Williams known in that county, but that Jesse Murphy was a Notary Public there. This latter gentle man, beiDg made acquainted with the facts, made affidavit that he knew no such parties and had never signed the aforesaid power of attor ney. Upon this evidence a warrant was issued by Justice McLean on Monday and Mr. Colvin arrested. He, however, compromised the mat ter with Mr. Arnold by making him titles to other lands, and the esse was not tried. Mr. Colvin now pleads that he knew nothing of the parties, bnt believed them, np to this time, all right, while Mr. Arnold recollects that he (Col vin) professed intimate acquaintance with them at the time of making the sale. The local of the Columbus Sun, who dotes on sweet potatoes, is gnashing his teeth be cause he can’t buy a peck of the new crop for less than §1. As some consolation, however, he boasts that the Macon Gas Company has to goto Columbus to have its retorts manufactured. The Columbus papers inform us that “Skaw- ball” “has again arrived in that city and has been put to work shoveling coal.” Bat who the is Skewball ? The Sun, of Thursday, says: A Little Boy Killed.—A son of Mr. James B. Collier, now a druggist in Montgomery, was killed Monday in Opelika, by a .fall from a porch. The child’s age was some six years. He had been playing with a top. It rolled off the porch. He attempted to get to the ground by means of loosening his hold on a pillar, when he fell, struck his head on a rock and died two hours after. He was buried in our cemetery Tuesday. What made it more sad was that the father had parted with him but a little while be fore, taken the train, and had nearly reached Montgomery, when he was recalled by a tele gram. He returned to find the bright little fel low of a few hours before, a corpse. Mr. Col lier ia well known iu Columbus where he was engaged in busness several years, and his many friends extend him and bis wife their tenderest sympathies. The Hawkinsville Dispatch says: "What Shall we Do ?—Apprehensions for the future have forced ns to make the following confession: Onr friends must either kill a couple of woodpeckers that are now destroying our com crop, or permit us to raise the sub- scripUon of onr paper. In behalf of Mr. Willis, we will state that his crop is also in a dilemma, though somewhat in less danger than ours. Ask us a hard question. Send down to Sa vannah for R. H., and when he comes mount him on tho fence. If tho woodpeckers don’t recognize him as an intruder of their kind and go for him instead of the com, we’ll treat. The Dispatch has the following: Macon Money.—We see a paragraph in the Sumter Republican, stating that Macon City Council money is not current in Americas, and that brokers disoount it. Such is not the case in Hawkinsville. It is on a par with green backs, and in some instances wo prefer it. Onr people have implicit confidence in Macon’s ability to pay all her indebtedness. Col. George H. Hazlehuest, President of tho Macon and Brunswick, was in town ono day last week and by appointment was met here with private conveyance by Hon. John W. Woodward, of Dooly, and tho two gentle men proceeded on their way to look ont the best and most feasible route for a road, (toward Eufanla, we presume, though tho editor don’t say so.) The Griffin Cultivator says lead, iron and copper ore, have been found recently near that place, and that a Mr. Matthews an English miner, thinks ho hasTound a lead,"mine in Butts county. Brunswick, like Mrs. Dombey was urged to do, is going to “make an effort,” the result of which it is hoped will be a savings bank. Two bears have turned np near Dalton, and all the little boys aro saying their prayers and promising not to say “baldhead” any more. Col. David Dobbs, Sr., one of the first settlers in Marietta, is dead,; aged 80 years. A man named Skinner dropped dead from his horse, near Marietta, last Thursday. By the premature explosion of a blast in a rock’quarry, near Marietta, last Saturday, a man named Singleton, had both his eye3 put ont, both arms broken, and-one side of his face hor ribly gashed. Arthur T. Sullivan, of Rome, died very sud denly last Tuesday night. Says the Rome Courier of yesterday: Important Case Decided.—Judge Cox sold some mill property, near Floyd Springs to John L. Vi illiamson, in the fall of 1862 for §7,000. Three thousand dollars was paid about the lBt of January ,1863, and the balance was due Jan uary 1st, 1864. About the first of February, 1864 Williamson tendered the amount due in Confederate money; Cox refused to receive it, and since the war sued on the note. On Tues day last he got a verdict for §540, but the cost of tho suit was charged to him, the plaintiff. Mr. Lawrence Manning, a Northern bona fide settler in Greene county, died in that county last Saturday. Peace to his ashes! The Greensboro Herald reports a most timely rain in that section last Tuesday, which, it says, was “worthtensof thousands of dollars to the farmers of Middle Georgia.” The Griffin Georgian reports a violent rain and hail storm in that section last Monday night, which did considerable damago in some localities. The hail stones were so large and came down so thickly as to knock ears of com from tho stalk. A tiger and his two keepers was captured at Atlanta Thursday night, and the latter put under §5,000 bonds each. Some other tiger got jealous on account of small rations, we suppose, and “peached.” A CARD. While absent from the c ty “many friends” havo asked through tho columns of tho Telegraph and Messenger, if I wonld run for tho office of Tax Collector. In answer, I would state, that I am now, as I have always been, subject to tho ordor of my friends; as it is their wish I will run the race.
