SUNDAY MORNING. JULY 23, 1871
Negro to the Rear.
Tho Tribune calls upon the Southern negroes
to send the carpet-baggers to the rear. Tell
them, says be, “Go back, you Thieves." But
Greeley preaches io vain. The negroes won't
do it Their faith fails them. They can’t re
sist the cheek of tho carpet-baggors. Coro is
an illustration of the fact given by the New
Orleans Picayune, of last Wednesday. War-
mouth had his foot hurt on the cars, if we re
member rightly. Whisky too much, perhaps.
He had gone to Pass Christian to givo bis foot
the benefit of salt air. Dnnn, the negro Lieu
tenant Governor, saw it was a good chance to
step into tho executive office, and get eternally
rid of Warmouth. He did so. He bnrsted the
bolts of the executive office and went in. He
flung himself into the executive chair. He put
his heels on the executive table. He took a
whisky toddy and a regalia from the executive
lockup. He installed the Honorable Jimuel
Dogfisbskin, his private Secretary, plumply in
a chair beside himself, and the two started out
on the business of Governing Louisiana. But
did he hold out ? Candor compels us to say he
didn't. His ignominious flight is thus chroni
cled by the Picayune:
The scene in the Governor’s office yesterday
morning, on the sudden arrival of Gov. War-
mouth, is described by eye witnesses as having
baen extremely comical. Acting Governor
Dnnn had evidently no more thonght of the ap
pearance of Warmouth than he bad of a visit
from tho man in tho moon, and consequently
when the door was flung open and the Governor
stood revealed, leaning npon his crutches, with
an arch smile playing around the corners of his
mouth, the countenance of Dunn, as ho rose
from bis seat, was a stndy.
To say that he was confused hardly expresses
tho fact, and this confusion was doubtless
heightened by the rapid exit through the rear
door of the colored Secretary pro tem., who
had hastily snatched a pile of papers that wero
lying on his desk.
Tho entrance of a monser into a barn in
which the mice wero holding high revel could
scaroely have created groater consternation, and
certainly no mongo ever exhibited greater agil
ity evon in the moment of supreme peril than
did tho httlo colored Secretary when he bolted
through that roar door, with his hands full of
valuable documents.
Now hero was acting Governor Dunn and his
secretary actually running from tho playful
smile sardonio of a lame carpet-bagger on
orutches. Why didn’t acting Governor Dunn
straighten himself up—waive his hnnd magis
terially,and say in the language of the venerated
Horace: “Go back, ye thief! Go back to tho
roar." One reason might bo that he had not
received this number of tho Tribune. At any
rato, by slinking away as he used to do in old
times, whon the overseer caught him baking
potatoes in the field of a morning, or etealing
chickens, instoad of attending to his work, a
powerful molo-drnmatio scene was lost to his
tory.
“A Ka-Klax Lawyer.”
We notice in tho Richmond Dispatch and the
Savannah News, of late dates, and under the
above head, a highly colored account of the re
cent difficulty in a United States Court Room in
Mississippi, wherein Colonel L. Q. 0. Lamar,
formerly of this State, was a prominent actor.
The account in question is, we understand,
taken from a dirty seallawag sheet published at
Holly Springs, and characteristically, and as a
matter of course, does Colonel L. great injus
tice—representing him as acting entirely at va
riance with, all his instincts and antecedents,
both as a gentleman and a lawyer. It seems to
us that Southern newspapers should exercise
moro caution in making even news selections
from the things called Southern Republican
journals, especially when they are, a3 in this
case, palpably intended to slander such a man
ns Colonel Lamar.
A Knottt Question.—One of the oldest ques
tions ever submitted to lawyers is now puzzling
those of Hartford, Conn. It seems that a man
who reoently died there left a widow, childless,
but expecting shortly to become a mother. By
his will he provided that if the expected child
should prove to bo a boy two-thirds of the pro
perty should go to him, and one-third to the
widowed mother. If, however, tho child proved
to bo a girl only one-third of the estate was to go
to her and two-thirds to the mother. The result,
of course, was awaited with an interest even
groater than that usually bestowed upon such
events. The result is—the widow has become
the mother of twins—a boy and a girL
Concert at Reynolds, Taylor County.—We
are asked to say that tho ladies of the Metho
dist church, at Reynolds, will give a concert
for the benefit of the church next Thursday
night, and to add a good word for it Well,
we say it is “a new departure,” in an eminently
worthy direction, and that every man, woman
and child in tho neighborhood ought to do one
of two things: Either attend in person, or
send their money. People never are too poor,
in reality, to help the cause of religion, and we
hope the nett profits of the concert will Bhow
that the Lord loves lots of people down there.
A Terrible Falling Oft.—It is authorita
tively announced that in England a majority of
tho clergy of the Established Church give their
adhesion to the doctrines of modern geologists
who boldly assort that the world was not made
out of nothing in six days. This is a terrible
falling off from the good old days of theology,
whon horetical scientists were very properly and
conservatively oxodized at the stake.
Deadly Assault on Mormon Faith.—The
"World says tho Chicago Common Council are
going in a body to spend the month of August
at Salt Lake. It is understood that their pur
pose is to strike a decisive blow at polygamy, by
distributing Chicago divoroes among the Mor
mons. At the usual fee of 50 oents apiece they
expect to pay their travelling expenses and real
ize a handsome profit.
The London Spectator laments over the de
cadence of tho monarchical system in Great
Britain. It says: “There is in this country
but one great political institution left alive, and
that is apparently endeavoring to commit sui
cide by asphyxia. Tho throne as a political
power is dead; the Lords are dyiDg; and if the
House of Commons loses the the respect of
the oonntry there will be nothing left.”
Monroe Female College begins its next an
nual session Monday, August 7th. Forsyth is
so breezy and blowsy they pay no attention to
dog days in that locality. We need not say the
College is a first class institution.
General Crook has taken the field in Ari

THE GEORGIA PRESS.
Miss Amy Low, daughter of Andrew Low,
Esq., of Savannah, was married at St. James’
Church, London, on June 22d, io Lieut. Harry
Tremenheere Grenfell, of the British Navy.
Mr. John Clarke, of Beech Island, near Au
gusta, while ridiDg to that city Thursday morn
ing, was Ku-klnxed out of his pocket-book and
contents by a Grant voter, who stepped out of
the bnshos on the road-side, and presented a pis
tol at Mr. O.’s head.
Jas. Oxford, who killed a negro in Washing
ton county about a year ago, was tried and con
victed therefor in the Superior Court of the
county last Wednesday, and sentenced to be
hung on Friday, September 1st He is now in

Tho Chronicle and Sentinel of Friday tolls a
heavy joke on some gentlemen of Burke county
who were out hunting a notorious horse thief
named Samuel Holmes. They traced him to his
haunt, and, dismounting, tied their horses and
set out on foot But Holmes was gone, and
when they came back to their horse3 one of
them was gone too. While they were stealing
on Hoimes ho stole the best horse in the party.
How is it Holmes has kept out of office under
Bullock, we should like to know ?
The Chronicle, same date says:
Daring Attempt to Rob the Mail —Mr. D.
B. Thompson, of this city, has a contract for
carrying the mail between Augusta and Cal-
honn’s Mills, in Sonth Carolina, a good many
miles distant On Wednesday morning the
mail-rider, a yonng man named Rich, loft Cal
houn's Mills, on one of his regular trips. About
one o'clock in the afternoon ho reached Rocky
Pond, twenty miles from here. While riding
up a hill in a part of the road remote from aDy
house, two men sprang from the bushes and
commanded him to halt one of them at the
samo time, firing at him with a pistol The
ball fortunately missed its aim, and before they
could shoot again, Mr. Rich drew his pistol and
fired at them several times. Astonished at
meeting with such a warm reception where
they expected to find an easy conquest and a
rich booty, the cowardly highwaymen betook
themselves to flight, and ran into the woods.
Mr. Rich thon continued bis journey unmolest
ed, and reached the city in safety. One of the
party who attacked him was a white man, the
other a negro. It was evident that their inten
tion was to murder tho mail-rider, and then
carry the mail into the woods and rifle the
ponchos at their leisure.
The Eagle and Phenix Factory, at Columbus,
will soon commence the mannfactnro of cassi-
mercs and cloths.
It was so hot in Atlanta, last Sunday, that, at
night, tho calorio was climbing lightning rods,
trees, etc., in order to get higher. An ink-
slinger—we call no names—lost five pounds—
of dirt.
The Columbus people who shipped poaches
North this season lost money, so the Sun says.
Tho Columbus Enquirer “joins” the ring of
curiosity mongers, by telling of a white par
tridge captured a few days since in Russell
county, Alabama.
We clip the following from the Enquirer:
Relics of the Past.—We have before us two
rather ancient cotton bills. The first is dated
Columbus, Ga., April 17, 1839, and was given by
King & Hooper, per F. MoMurray, to Wm. O.
Amour, for five square bales cotton at 14e per
pound. The second dated December 21, 1842,
was given by J. L. Ridgeway, per Wm. H.
Mitchell, to tho same party, for four bales cot
ton at 4^ and 4J cents per pound. The gentle
men to whom these bills were given still lives,
and brought in cotton daring the present week
to the Alabama warehose.
The Houston Home Journal says the railroad
agent at Fort Valley refuses to receive Macon
city money for freights, and wants to know
what’s the matter.
There was an exceptionally heavy rain last
Tuesday night in and around Perry, and the
Home Journal says farms were badly washed.
Ed. Felder, Jr., of Perry, fell down last Fri
day and broke the bone in the stump of his
amputated arm.
Col. Ben. Lockett, of Albany, bas only 5,000
acres in cotton this year.
Mike Flynn, an Irishman was drowned last
Saturday evening while bathing in the Flint
river near Albany.
Mr. R A. Brown, one of the most estimable
citizens of Albany, died last week.
We clip the following from the Albany News:
A Glorious Rain.—O’n Monday evening last
about dark an immense thundercloud lowered
upon this locality from the northern point of
tho compaRS, and after a tremendous demonstra
tion of lightning, thunder and wind, poured out
its torrents and refreshing sweetness. The clond
covered a vast extent of territory, and the sea
son was evidently ample for many miles around.
The blow here was almost a hurricane, and we
donbt not some damago resulted where the
storm spent its greatest strength. This rain
makes the com crop in this locality, and we
have reason to hope that the yield will be
abundant. Cotton is also greatly benefitted,
and planters are hopef nl of fair resalts when the
picking time comes. Tuesday night the storm
was repeated with increased fury and wider
range. Wednesday was a day of showers, and
in some places heavy rains. Yesterday was
“ partially clear and cloudy,” but pretty hot.
The B. & A. R. R —Somebody has informed
the Telegraph and Messenger that the track
laying will reach this city by the 10th of August.
The truth is the work is progressing shamefully
slow, and cannot reach here before the 10th of
September, if there be not some improvement.
We find the following items in tho Atlanta
Sun:
An Ex-Editor Marries —Mr. John P. K.
Spence, at one time editor and publisher of the
Groensboro’ Herald, in this State, writes us that
he bas got religion, married a wife and moved
to the oonntry, where, by strict attention to his
household duties and a reasonable amount of
work, he hopes to lay the foundation for a long
and useful life. John married Miss Kittie Dnn-
can, a Pickens county (Alabama) lady, on the
13th of July.
Honorarary Degrees—The Board of Trus
tees of the Oglethorpe University, at its recent
meeting, conferred the degree of D. D., upon
Rev. Donnld McQueen, of Sumter, South Caro
lina ; and also npon Rev. B. C. Mclnnis, of Ox
ford, Mississippi; also the degree of L. L. D.
upon the Hon. John A. Inglis, of Baltimore,
Md.; and also upon Rev. George Home, D. D.,
of the Theological Seminary at Columbia, South
Carolina.
The last Carterayille Standard makes the fol
lowing good hit:
Wanted.—A rich man to report weekly
throngh the columns of the Standard. Our
brethren of the Express having taken entire
chnrge of our clever neighbor, CoL Tomlin, in
that way, we cannot even get to report the
building of a new chicken coop on his planta
tion. We are forced, therefore, in order to
keep up with the enterprize of onr West Main
street friends, to get a man of onr own, and
when we do, we’ll bet on keeping even in the
way of reporting all that transpires on his place.
We propose to give his bill of fare for dinner,
every other day. Apply early, for we are in a
hurry.
The great lease case was taken np in the Su
preme Court at Atlanta, on Friday, and argued
for plaintiff in error by Hon. B. H. Hill, pend
ing whose argument the Court adjourned till
yesterday. The decision will hardly be an
nounced before next Tuesday week.
The Covington Enterprise, of Friday, says:
OcMCLGEE AND NORTH GEORGIA RAILROAD —
Misled by the information received last week,
we reported the construction of this road as a
fixed future event. Having been informed
more definitely, by the agent of the Northern
company, the state of the case seems to be that
Col. Cowles bas induced the company to inves
tigate the project, and they have ample means
to speedily build the road, if satisfied that it
will be profitable. The gange will also be de
termined by them after the review of the ronte
by their representative, Col. O. C. Clute, who
passed throngh Covington going northward on
the ronte, last Saturday. The result of his ex
amination will be announced in a few weeks.
Theeditorof the Newnan Herild “rises to
explain,” as follows:
Eplained.—Bonliy, of the Gwinnett Atlas,
left home in search of heaUh-iestoriug atmos
phere, recently, and while he was absent a man
of good fighting weight came to Lawrenceville
to see Bonliy—for what, the reader may guess.
Boully’s temporary ill health, and the anger of
the fighting man, may be easily explained: the
week before the Atlas contained several verses
of poetry on “Calomel’’ which were bad
enough to make sick a weakly man tike the edi
tor, and stir up the bile, and render hostile the
healthiest man on earth. A few more doses of
tho same sort will do the job for the Atlas, and
the whole of Gwinnett, and seriously iffect tho
vitality of Boully’s exchanges.
“Go Back, Yon Thieves.”
The venerable Horace Greeley, LL. D , in
the New York Tribune of the 19 th, is out in a
very heavy pronunciamento under the head of
The Thieving Carpet-Baggers.” "We have
room only for his improvement of the subject
in his concluding paragraph, in which he prao-
tically calls npon the Southern Radical negroes
to throw their white compatriots overboard.
Will they do it? Will they come up to the front
and make pure negro nominations throughout,
and “send these villains to the rear.” That is
(he question: Will they respond—
“We are coming. Father Greelev,
Five hundred thousand strong?”
Or are they going to permit these miserable
white intriguants, to euchre them out of the
offices again. That is the question. Hornm,
scarum divo question. Here is the Tribune’s
solemn apoahophe t
Republicans of the South! you have a des
perate struggle just ahead, and yon cannot win
unless you send these villains to the rear. You
cannot roly on their modesty or their sense of
decency; they will push themselves forward
into the most conspicuous posts, no matter at
what peril and mischief to your cause, unless
you sternly say, “Go back, thieves!” You
cannot afiord to be delicate with men who do
not know what delicacy means. Unless you
show by your acts that you detest peculators
and scorn to be led by them, you will be beaten,
and will deserve to be. You can put these fel
lows where they belong if you try; and you
must try. Their effrontery will desert them
whenever they see that you not only loathe ras
cality bnt do not hesitate to show your loathing.
As you hope to be respected, confided in, tri
umphant, vindicate your own integrity by
branding the thieves who would make mer
chandise of yonr party’s good name!
A Massachusetts Radical Organ on
the “Thieving Carpet-Baggers.”
The Springfield Republican is one of the
oldest and ablest papers in Massachusetts, and
though of the intense trewly loyal stripe, seems
to have occasional spasms of virtue and verac
ity. In a late issue it has a few words to say
of “tho thieving carpet-baggers,” as Massa
Greeley calls them. We print them below with
a glow of serenest satisfaction, and with the
sincere hope that every one of the tribe within
the range of our circulation may read them.
Says the Republican:
Mr. Greeley never spoke a truer or more
timely word in his life than when he denounced
the carpet-baggers to the people of New York
city. They are doing more harm to the coun
try to-day than the locust or caterpillar, or any
other kindred pest. They are teaching the less
intelligent and dis'wiminating Southerners to
despise «nd hate the Northern people more
heartily than ever; they are debauching the
freedmen; they are bringing disgrace upon tho
great Republican party and upon the National
Government. That their rapacity is insatiable
and that they steal every penny they can lay
their hands on, are comparatively trivial counts
in the indictment against them. Yet this con
stant plundering is a very serious matter to the
commnnities which are plundered. It means-
increased indebtedness and heavier taxation.
One specimen job has jnst come to onr notice.
The Mississippi public schools were lately sup
plied with 7,000 desks at $7 per desk. Market
price $3 50; carpet-baggers’ profit, $24,500.
Thiij is a very small affair, tobe snre, when com
pared with the wholesale stealings in Sonth Car
otins. bnt it illustrates how the thing is done.
It is just such rascality that is making the name
of Republican a stench in the Southern States,
and bringing suspicion and enmity upon honest
immigrants. And matters will not mend much
so long sb needy and greedy adventurers are ap
pointed to responsible Federal offices, and fel
low-shipped by Northern Republicans on the
floor of Congress.
The Cotton Crop of ISTO.
The Picayune of the 19lb, speaking of the
crop grown in 1870, says it will be safe to count
npon 4,000,000 bales received at the ports. The
overland shipments, too, have been uncommon
ly large—100,000 bales having passed throngh
Nashville on one road alone The Picayune
estimates the total at 320,000 bales. The
Southern mills have also largely increased their
consumption, which last year amounted to 79,-
843 bales. Upon these facts, the Picayune
founds the following estimate of the crop:
Receipts at the ports 4,000,000
Overland direct shipments 320,000
Consumption of Southern mills 100,000
Burnt, eto. 10,000
Total crop .....4,430,000
The only crop larger than this in number of
bales was that of 1859-60, which was 4,675,770.
The average weight of a bale of cotton that
year was 457 ponnds, which would make that
crop 2,136,725,890 pounds.
This season the average weight of bales has
been considerably in excess of the foregoing.
A statement was published not loDg since setting
it down at 464,041 pounds. This we think a
little too low. The average at New Orleans jus
tifies 470 pounds to the bale far the whole crop.
This average weight per bale would bring the
crop to 2,082,100,000 ponnds. There is, there
fore, only a difference of 54,625,890 ponnds, or
less than four per cent., in favor of the crop of
1859-60, and the total may possibly turn out as
large.
Massacre of tlie Indians in Arizona
A Washington correspondent of the World
says that according to an official report from
Lieutenant Whiting, the Indian camp which
was lately the scene of wholesale massacre had
been from last February under the protection of
the United States military. It had been desig
nated by the latter as a place of refuge for In
dians desiring to live in peace with the United
States, and about 510 occupied it, living on the
most friendly terms with the garrison of the
neighboring fort.
On the morning of the 30th of April a band
of citizens, from Tuscon, Arizona, without
warning or provocation of any kind, surprised
the peaceful and unarmed camo. and began in
discriminate butchery. Of 125 killed or miss
ing, only eight were men. Many were wounded
and the enmp was entirely burned. Lieutenant
Whitman bad succeeded in getting some of the
bands in again, and was again trying to protect
them.

Valuable Newspaper Property.—The New
York Commercial Advertiser says:
Newspaper property is becoming valuable in
New York City. The Times announces that
Mr. E. B. Morgan, of Cayuga county, one of
the original stockholders of that paper, and for
some time past one of the managing partners,
has purchased Mrs. Henry J. Raymond’s inter
est in the Times, and paid $375,000 for it. The
Raymond estate owned thirty-four shares. So
Mr. Morgan paid over $11,000 per share. The
Times states that the shares never sold higher
than $6,000 during Mr. Raymond’s lifetime.
Exports of Britlsh Railroad Iron.—The
Parliamentary statement of the exports of rails
for Great Britain, shows that for the six months
ending Jnne 30, 1871, the United Slates receiv
ed 244,784 tons; for ih« month of Jnne alone,
the quantity was 44 919 toDS, against 26,714
tons, and 46,065 tons for the corresponding
months in 1S69 and 1S70.
An Illinois Lawyer Owns a City.
We find the following in the World, of Wed
nesday :
Mr. E. S. Wilson, an enterprising lawyer of
the city of Olney, which is the county seat of
Richland county, TIL, lately received from the
General Land Office a patent, which may place
him in. legal possession of tho entire city,
wherein there are between 5,000 and G,000 inhab
itants. The reason of this is as follows: In 1818
one David Rawlings entered npon this tract of
land, making partial payment thereon, and af
terwards transferred his papers to a Mr. Elliott,
who completed the payment and procured a
certificate for a patent. Elliott sold the land
in parcels to various persons, who built np the
city. In the early part of last year the Register
of tho Land Office at Olney received a letter
from the General Land Office,inf orming him that
the land on which the city was built was vacant on
the records, and ordering him to hold it subject
to entry under the pre-emption and homestead
laws, but not to private entry until it shonld be
regularly restored to the market after thirty
days’ public notice, for the land described in
Elliott’s patent was in town 4 sonth, instead of
town 4 north,the latter being the section in which
Olney was built. This prohibition of entry
would have prevented Mr. Wilson from buying
vacant land had it not been for a provision in a
law passed in 1860, under which scrip issued
was made receivable for any land surveyed,
whether the land had been made subject to en
try or not, and since the purchase was made
with snch scrip the land office was obliged to
receive it under the law. Mr. Wilson received
bis patent in Jnne, 1871. The claim is likely
to cause mnch litigation, as, of coarse, it is
very hard on tho holders of the land.
An agent for a large life insurance company
in New York called some time since on a gen-
tlemaD, with the hope of insuring his life. On
asking whether the gentleman was not desirous
of taking out a life policy, he was met with the
reply that if the company conld insure him in
the future state, he was perfectly willing. This
seemed to be a poser, bnt the agent promptly
replied that he was sorry to say his company
was prevented by its charter from issuing any
fire risks.
The claim that the maize or Indian corn
plant is indigenous to the soil of the new world
has lately been contested, and recent investiga
tions of certain Chinese records are cited to
prove that it was cultivated in China prior to
the discovery of America. Chinese authors
maintain that it came originally from countries
west of China, and that it was introduced into
that country long before tho first arrival of the
Portugese, in 1517.

A City Residence and also a Suburban Res
idence for Sale.
T HE City Residence is new and corners Oak and
New streets; contains four rooms, hall and ve
randah. Well shaded. In an excellent neighbor
hood. No better water in the city, and convenient
to church. Sufficiently near the* business portion
of the city for a business man, and yet far enough
removed to avoid the disadvantages attending a
residence too near. Time given on part of the pur
chase money on both places. The other residence
beyond Tattnall Square and on the Columbus road,
contains five rooms, hall, verandah, basement and
all out-buildings. Water good. Grounds covered
with shade, both natural and artificial. On the
place is a great quantity and variety of fruit, inclu
ding a vineyard. This property is ’admirably adap
ted for a boarding house for the Mercer students,
and the grounds offer superior advantages for gar
den purposes. It is a delightful home, and can
never depreciate in value. Al=o, I will sell several
choice bnilding lots adjoining samo. If not Bold, I
will offer for rent, ending October. 1872.
