Telegraph & Messenger 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 zona against tho Apaches. General Crook com rnands in person, and will act in conjunction with the Mexican troops in the State of Sonora. Palace cars have been placed on the 3d Ave nue (New York) Railroad. Charge, fifteen cents—three time3 the price on the ordinary cars. Over fifty thousand baskets of peaches are now being delivered in New York daily. Prices range from $2 to $3 per bushel. Tee vellow fever bas ceased to be an epi demic in Buenes Ayres, and thanksgiving ser vices are being held :n the churches. The horse disease in New York is increasing in fatali'y. It has so far proven unmanageable. 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 the penitontiary at MilledgevUle, for safe keep ing. 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. Tilton believes in playing billiards for exer cise.—Ex.

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. Mobile, Ala., has found a new material for street paving in cypress shavings. It is said this road-bed will remain firm and solid from eight to ten years.
