TUESDAY MORNING. JULY 25, 1871.
Death opCaptaih E. P. Bowdre.—We regret
exceedingly, to announce the death of <hi« gen
tleman, formerly a citizen of this city, where
he is well known, bnt more recently of Griffin.
He died at the latter plaoe on Sunday morning
at II o'clock, nfior an illness of only abont four-
tepn hoars, his diseaso being cramp colic, com
plicated, perhaps, with congestion of the liver.
Captain B. was abont 30 years of age, and
daring the late civil war was a gallant officer of
the 1st Georgia Regulars, in which regiment ho
held the rank of Captain at the close of hostilities.
His health has not been very good some years,
ho having contracted chills while serving in
Florida in 18C3 and 1864, and his sadden death
is, perhaps, attributable in somo degree to their
deleterious effects upon his constitution. At
the lime of his death he was holding the posi
tion of agent for the Macon and Western Rail
road at Griffin. He leaves a widow and three
yonng children.
Peace to his ashes, and may the God of the
widow and the fatherless deal gently with the
stricken hearts that monm his loss.
Toleration.—The Rev. H. W. Beecher, in
his Christian Union, wants the Orange societies
to parade again, and parado early and often,
with all thoir banners, “so long as a dog wagB
his toegneand, when thoy can parade with
entire impnnily, then quit. So mnch in sup
port of “a great principle”—which we snppose
is that publio opinion may bo floated by pnblio
demonstrations to any extent with impunity.
This is an impracticable idea of popular liberty.
It can never bo realized in any country—nor,
in. fact, is it desirable that it should bn. It is
right that every man should be entitled to hold,
express and defend his opinions, but it is not
right that people of opposite opinions shonld
koep np a perpetual rivalry of mutual annoy-
anoe and insult. 7 hat is effective alone for divis
ion, discord and mischief. Now Mr. Beecher has
gono to his farm, let him try his counsels on
the brute creation—let him go out every morn
ing into his pastures, and shake a red rag in the
oyes of his bulls, and stick to it, day after day,
till his bulls get used to a red rag.
The Third Avenue Street Railway Company
in New York commenced operations 10th Octo
ber, 1853. The first day they carried 22,000
passengers at five cents apiece—or $1,100. At
the presont time the Company has 1,800 horses,
300 passenger oars, and employs 800 men in
doing its work. The stables are large and well
arranged, being well lighted and airy. A steam-
engino of forty-horse power is used for grinding
grain and cutting hay. Com and oats are
mixed with cut hay for the feed of the horses,
and each weok 3,700 bushels of these grains
and 450 bales of hay are required, while 100
bales of straw are used for bedding the horses.
A “horse doctor,” thoroughly skilled and com
petent in his profession, is employed by the
year, with the privilege of engaging as many
assistants os may be required. The average
value of the horses is estimated at $130 each.
The hone-shoeing is let out on contract. This
work keeps about twenty-four men constantly
employed the year round. The Company car
ried last year 25,500,000 passengers, and its
avorago daily receipts aro $3,500, while on
extra days thoy run np to $5,000 per day. The
Third avenue line is said to be the largest street
railroad corporation in the United States in its
transactions.
Bad Case of Arithmetic.—According to a
Savannah letter in the Atlanta Sun, among the
Custom-house vouchers of Collector Robb,
made out by Fillsbnry, was a bill for seven
hundred and sixty hours’ work in the month of
September last, by Scipio Soule, at 25 oents an
hour. Fillsbnry swore to that bill, and so did
the indomitable Scip; but as there were only
sovon hundred and twenty hours in the month
of September, oounting 24 hours in the day,
the department wanted Fillsbnry and Scip to
rise and explain.
Butler.—The Massachusetts Radioal papers
are remarkably heavy on Butler. They charge
him with an attempt to foist himself upon the
party by his election as Governor to secure a
certificate of character now so thoroughly fly
blown. They charge Butler with a design to
run whether nominated or not, and say the Re
publican party never trusted him, though wil
ling to use him for temporary purposes.
Herein is a Difficulty.—The World says
that after turning the statue of President Lin
coln in Union Square, round to all the points
of the compass successively and finding that in
every position it either made the horses shy or
frightened the ladies, they have determined to
moke one more ohange and see if they can't
obviate the difficulty.
Mr. W. E. Ward’s Seminary in Nashville is,
we are assurod. a very large, popular and well-
ondowed institution—supplied with every facil
ity for the comfort and instruction of pupils,
of whom it has several from Georgia. The
winter climate of Nashville is much less trying
to Southern yonng ladies than more northerly
latitudes.
Cady Stanton in her “ Frisoo” speech shows
that she was bard on Dr. Greeley. The Doctor,
she says, interrupted her in a speech, as only
Greeley oan: “ You say you want to vote. The
bullet and the ballot must go together. Will
you Jight f” “Yes, Mr. Greeley,” says Cady,
“ just as you did—by paying a substitute 1"
The Courier-Journal says Lawrenoe Minor, a
colored porter on the steamboat Gen. Lytle,
was, a few days since, tendered one of the pro
fessorships in “Alcorn University," Mississippi,
at a salary of $2,500 per annum. Lawrence is
the son of a late Lonisiana planter, by one of
his slaves, and is a bright, handsome mulatto.
Frederick Layton, the Cincinnati Bret Harte,
was hoard the other day, while packing up his
duds to leave Atlanta, singing a very doleful
ditty, the chorus of which ran as follows:
'•Stop piz-zor-ing-turn high,
Sing dol do lornm low!
Oh! when, from this mean little one-horse town,
Shall I pack np my traps and go ?”
Female Ku-klux—Bad Business.—The Tri
bune asks what is the meaning of this? Mys
terious announcements reach ns that “the
Conncil of the Daughters of the Forest of the
United States of America will hold a secret ses
sion on a certain Ridge-road in Philadelphia in
the Sun flower Moon.”
Fairs in Georgia.— Columbus and Augusta
, both hold annual Fairs next October, and are
making large prepaparations. Augusta offers
fifteen thousand dollars iu premiums. A fair
also takes place iu Rome, and Atlanta is show
ing some movements for a similar display.
The Southern carpet bagoers are abont to
start an organ in Washington. Having the run
of the State treasuries, if the promoters are
liberal, the organ will find itself in rich fields
and pastures new.
The 2nd Rhode Island regiment, on the 21st,
celebrated the first battle of Bull Run, at Rocky
Point, with a clam bake. It was a good and
honest idea to celebrate that fight by taking to
water.
Chattanooga is planning an opera house to
post $125,000,
Tbe Alumni Dinner.
We are authoritatively informed that the con
templated dinner to the Alumni of the Univer
sity of Georgia on some day during commence
ment week, may now be regarded as a fixed
fact. All the preparations are beiilg rapidly
perfected, the contract for the edibles having
been made, and the wines ordered. The dinner
will come off on Monday, July 31st
Let every Alumnus of the college, who can,
bo in Athens Dext week. Let them, every one,
go there prepared to zealously and persistently
support every feasible plan for adding new mo
mentum to the progress of Alma Mater toward
that high plane of power and usefulness to the
State and the cause of education, which she
shonld and most occupy. She must not he a
laggard when, fr«m every part of this broad
land, the command, “Forward,” is swelling into
a grand chorus. With the evidences of what
Alnmni representation has done and promises
to do elsewhere, before them, we do not doubt
either what their convictions are, or what their
action will be upon it when presented for their
consideration. Let there be a full meeting, the
freest discussion, and, above all, earnest, har
monious effort to secure desired results.
Summoned, bat Not Wanted.
We copy the following from Washington
specials to the Louisville Courier-Journal, of
Saturday, showing up a very strange procedure
on the part of the majority of the so-called Ku-
klnx Committee—for it is hardly presumable
that French could have countermanded his
own snbpcenas without orders. The fact is,
we snppose the testimony, of late, was get
ting to be of a character unwelcome to the
majority, and they did not want to hear any
more of that kind. Chap Norris, so-called, suited
them much better:
A Vile Trick to Suppress Honest Testimony.
One of the vilest and most comtentible of Rad
ical tricks has just been unearthed here, and is
to be made a matter of immediate investigation.
Messrs. Beck and Blair, the Democratic mem
bers of the Ku-klux Committee here, have been
greatly surprised at the non-appearance of prom
inent Sonthem gentlemen who had been sum
moned as witnesses before the committee, and
who, it was well known, were in a position to
give a correct and truthful view of the Southern
situation. In view of the unaccountable delay
in the arrival of these witnesses, a dispatch was
sent to the Southern papers last night staling
the surprise that was expresssed, and especially
mentioning as a singular circumstance that such
men ns Gen. Wright, and Gen. Gordon, and
Hon. T. Hardeman, Jr., of Georgia, who were
thoroughly conversant with affairs in their seve
ral places, failed to appear in answer to the
summons. This dispatch was published this
morning, and before one o’clock to-day the fol
lowing telegram was received from one of the
parties named as a dilatory witness:
Maoon, *Ga-, July 21, 1871.
Mr.
Sib—I telegraphed July 11 tb that I was ready
to report, and received, July 12th, from J. R.
French, a reply that I need not come, the com
mittee not having time for more witnesses.
(Signed) T. Hardeman, Jb.
The J. R. French mentioned is the Radical
Seargent-at-Arms of tbe Senate, and be also
actR as Marshal for the Kuklux Committee, and
sends ont all subpoenas. Mr. Hardeman’s dis
patch was sent at once to Mr. Beck, who called the
attention of the Committee to it without delay,
and demanded an immediate investigation.
French was sent for, bnt he could not be found,
and the inquiry was put off until to-morrow,
and meanwhile new subpoenas were ordered to
be issued for Hardeman, and all others who
were supposed to have been deceived and kept
awBy by French’s lying and unauthorized tele
grams; for tbe presumption is that Hardeman is
not the only witness who has been kept away
by him.
Tlie Alabama and Chattanooga Rail
road.
The Meridian Gazette reports the result of a
raid by some unpaid employees of this road
upon a train from Chattanooga. They fired up
an engine at Meridian and ran to within a mile
and a half of Tuscaloosa, where their engine
was stopped in a curve, and the men proceeded
to town on foot, where they quietly awaited the
arrival of the train, which came in on schednle
time. Most of tbe crew of the train from
Chattanooga went to supper, leaving the engi
neer and fireman to do the “switching.” The
train was hastily examined by the squad from
Meridian and found to be a “mixed” one, with
box cars in front, containing freight for Tusca
loosa. It took but a moment to decide not to
take the cars, on acconnt of the freight. The
men at onoe mounted the engine, invited the
engineer and fireman to retire, which they did,
and in less time than we are telling it, the No.
19, one of the best freight engines on the road,
was steaming away towards Meridian.
James Oxford Liberated.
Milledgeville, Ga., July 24, 1871.
Editors Telegraph and Messenger: Our usu
ally quiet city was the scene on Saturday night
last of wbat will doubtless be characterized as a
Ku-klux outrage. James Oxford, recently con
victed of murder in the Sandersville Superior
Court, was confined in onr Milledgeville jail,
for safe keeping. A little before midnight on
the 22d, onr sheriff, Mr. Arnold, found the jail
surrounded by a large number of armed and
disguised men, who demanded the keys of the
prison, and proceeded to take them. Opening
the cell in which Oxford was confined, they
carried away the prisoner and set him at lib
erty. We are informed that some of the
liberators avowed that they were liberating
Oxford (a white man, under sentence of death
for killing a negro) beoanse the Governor of
Georgia (as they alleged) was in the habit of
pardoning negroes for crimes committed by
them. We have, here, no other news of inter
est. Oconee.
Sketch or a Lady Editor.—A New York cor
respondent of the New Bedford Mercury thus
describes Miss Mary L. Booth of the Bazar:
“Imagine a woman slightly above the middle
height, with fine figure, fair English complex
ion, very prominent forehead, thoughtful grey
eyes, looking through eye-glasses (she is near
sighted,) a large mouth, disclosing two rows
of pretty teeth, soft brown hair, smoothly
brushed back over a Pompadour roll, and you
have a 'oorrect picture of Miss Booth. She is a
native of New England, is a hard student and
acocmplished scholar. Daring the four years
that she has edited the Bazar she has been ab
sent from the office bnt twenty days. Beside
the $4,000 salary received from Harpers, Miss
Booth realizes a handsome income from her
translations, whieh are models in their way for
clearness of diction and purity of style. She
owns several valuable houses in the city, and
lives in quiet elegance on Madison avenue.”
The Savannah (Ga.) News is unhappy that
we “continue to harp on the new departure.”
It asks us why we don’t “fire more upon the
Radicals and less upon the Bourbons.'” We an
swer because the Bonrbons trill get in the way.
We can’t help firing at them if they persist in
crossing onr line of fire. Thus far they have
been used by the Radicals as breast-works, and
over them a storm of hot-shot is being con
stantly ponred into the Democratic ranks. They
must be removed or destroyed before we can
get a square volley at Radicalism. Just now we
are only picking them off one after another at
long range, and with a gentleness which aims
only to disable, not to kill. Next year, if any
of them block np the waj, they will be tramped
down under the Democratic column like corn
stalks and stubble.—Courier-Journal.
Southern Masonio Female College.—A cir
cular from the President of this deservedly pop
ular institution, announces that the fall term
will begin on the 15th of August. This College
is under the patronage of the Grand Lodge of
Georgia, and merits a liberal patronage from
the people of the South.
THE GEORGIA. PRESS.
A wagon load of new crop sweet potatoes,
and a lot of over-loaded benzinists, were the
street sensations down at Bainbridge, last week.
The Colnmbus Enquirer understands that ex-
Collector Jas. Johnson slates that one of his
deputies is involved in the Savannah Custom
Rouse defalcations, and that ho, the (ex-C.)
may have to foot the bill.
The Washington (Wilkes county) Amend
ments have invented a new plan to capture the
filthy lucre. They get np funerals, and, after
chartering a train on the branch railroad, col>
Iect full fare from the passengers. One negro
made $80 lately.
The editor of the Washington Gazette was
bitten twice on the hand by a water moccasin,
last Saturday. The snake only lived abont one
minute afterwards, but the editor wasn’t hurt
at alL They always did sell “powerful” strong
whisky in that town.
At a meeting of the Board of Directors of the
Northeastern Railroad, at Athens, on the 20th
inst., the following preamble and resolntion
were adopted:
With a view to answer the inquiries of all
persons interested in the Northeastern Railroad,
and to express the opinion of this board with
reference to the gauge to be used in its construc
tion. as well as the point of intersection with
the Blue Ridge Railroad, it is
Resolved, That the road be built with the
usual gauge to correspond with the roads with
which it is to run in connection, and beginning
atapointtobedesignatedin the town of Athens,
shall ran by the best and most practicable route
via or near Olarkesville, in Habersham county,
to the town of Clayton, in Rabun county, or
some other point near Clayton, tointerseot with
the Blue Ridge Railroad, agreeably with the
provisions of the charter of said Northeastern
Railroad.
Capt. W. E. White, of West Point, Ga., was
thrown from a buggy on Sunday last, and had
both bones of a leg broken below the knee.
Atlanta is abont to be sold out for taxes. The
Sun says “nearly one entire wall of the City
Hall is covered with the names of State and
county tax defaulters.”
The Rome Commercial says that Chattooga
county will not be able to ship over a hundred
or so bnshels of wheat to Rome this year. Chat
tooga is one of the best wheat counties in the
State.
We were right about the Savannah musqui-
toes. The parties from Bulloch county who
were put in a jail a few days since for refusing
to obey a writ of habeas corpus, have come to
terms and paraded the body.
We clip the following from the Atlanta Con
stitution, of Sunday:
Disappeared.—We learn that Mr. B. F. Rob
erts, a prominent lawyer of Alpharetta, came to
this city last Thursday, and disappeared that
night, and has not been heard from since. His
friends feel alarmed abont him.
Poiiceman Shot.—Yesterday morning abont
four o’clock policeman W. C. Dixon, near the
corner of Line and Pryor streets, detected an
athletic negro carrying a bundle of goods, and
supposing the articles to be stolen, attempted to
arrest the negro. The negro drew a revolver
and fired—one ball taking effect in the chin,
carrying off three teeth and passing ont under
the right cheek bone. Though smarting under
the wound, policeman Dixon gave close chase
and fired several times, but without effect. He
was joined by fonr policemen who pressed the
negro so close that he again fired several shots,
but without effect. He effected his escape, and
successfully eluded the police np to the latest
account. Dr. Roach dressed policeman Dixon’s
wound, which is severe bnt not dangerous.
Dixon will soon be np.
We find these items in the Savannah Repub
lican, of Saturday:
Accident on the Atlantic and Gulf Rail-
Road—A Fireman Dies of his Injuries—An
Engineer Scalded—Damage to the Train.—
Abont 7 o’clock yesterday morning the express
passenger train on the Atlantic and Gulf Rail
road, bound east, when abont three miles from
this city, met with an accident nnder the fol
lowing circumstances:
It is supposed that a malicious person placed
a broken chair on the rail—both the track and
engine wheels having an appearance derived
from this cause—thus throwing the train off
the track, which at this spot bad been carefully
examined by the Master of Roadway, abont 7
o’clock the evening previous, and four trains
passed over it between that time and the occur
rence of the accident. Although tbe eDgine
was turned completely over down the bank, but
very little damage has been done to it—
One stock car was broken up. A. Williams, a
fireman, who was injured, died abont 2 o'clock
yesterday afternoon. Engineer J. J. Crowley
was slightly scalded. Four stock cars were
thrown from the track, which was cleared for
the passage of trains at half-past 3 o’clock.
Rumored Developments.—It is rumored in
official circles abont the region of the Custom
House that J. H. Gould, the defaulting Collec
tor of Internal Revenue, will shortly make his
appearance upon the scene of his former opera
tions, and make a clean breast of the transac
tions which resulted in a 'loss to the United
States Treasury Department—explaining who
got the money, and how it was disposed of.
The rumor states that several officials will learn
more than they desire to know abont the de
falcation with)which he (Gould) stands charged,
and of whieh it is understood he is extremely
penitent. We look for the disclosure with in
terest, being a firm believer in the maxim that
“when rogues fall out the devil will get his
due.”
The decision of the United States Conrt, de
claring J. H. Gould a bankrapt, has bad the
effect, it is said by rumor, of stirring np cer
tain transactions, the legal effect of which will
be determined by the courts. Diamond rings
and furniture, together with the grocery and
furniture business, will be ventilated when the
return shall have been made, and all that is
necessary is the presence of Gonld to exemplify
the fact that “all is not Go(n)ld that glitters.”
The News, of same date, Bays:
Andrew Chapel—The Church to be Deliv
ered up to the Colored People of the M. E.
Church South.—A few months ago we publish
ed a statement of the faot that the Supreme
Court of Georgia bad decided the question in
regard to the building on New street, north of
the Central Railroad office, which was seized by
the Radicals and scallawags, white and black,
in the city, immediately after the war, and used
for the mixed purpose of a church and a politi
cal den, to the exclusion of the rightfnl owners
and more conservative, respectable negroes
among us.
Since the decision of the Court, the trustees
have had charge of the building, and made
great improvements there. They have repaired
it inside and ont, placing it in the best possible
condition suitable to chnrob purposes, painting
it in a very appropriate and beautiful manner,
so that now it is one of the neatest looking lit
tle churches in our city. Every arrangement,
improvement and article of furniture has been
supplied to the church, which the trustees are
now abont to turn over to those members of the
Methodist congregation who refused to unite or
affiliate with the Radicals, at the head of whom
stood the venerable and faithful David Days.
They are now abont to be rewarded for their
faithful adherence to their true friends, the
Southern white men.
The Constitutionalist, of Sunday, understands
that Reese, the murderer from Taliaferro oonnty
who is in jail at Augusta and sentenced to be
hung on the 4th of August, has been respited
by Bullock until October.
Some of those Augusta amendments do play
it sharp. Last Saturday Frank Williams was
arrested for cursing and threatening his wife.
He explained it very satisfactorily to the * ‘beak,”
however, and in this wise, as the Chronicle tells
us: “He says he was in bad reading h:s Bible the
other night, and the mosquitoes bit him so rap
idly, and so fiercely, that at last he forgot both
his Bible and his Christianity, and cursed them
like a sailor. His wife thought he was cursing
her and had the warrant issued under a mistake.”
The Houston county people will have a hang
ing yet, according to the following from the
Columbus Sun, of Sunday:
Caught a Murderer.—Jim Toombs, a negro
who was to have been hnng last Friday for the
murder of a oolored man, and who escaped from
Perry, Houston county jail, a few weeks sinoe,
was arrested yesterday by J oe Clark, the colored
barber, and policeman Roberts. It seems the
man worked for Joe last year. Joe heard he was
in Alabama, and went over there in an express
wagon. The negro very willingly consented to
lake a ride to this side of the river, when he
was nabbed by policeman Roberts and lodged in
th6 guardhouse. We hear a reward of $1,000
was offered by Bullock for his apprehension,
bnt some say. this was afterwards rednoed to
$500. The negro has since been lodged in jaiL
The sheriff of Houston county has telegraphed
he will be here to-day to take charge of him.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Chronicle
and Sentinel writes as follows:
Bullock has paid sixty thousand one hundred
dollars ($G0,100) for large rewards offered for
the arrest of criminals, his rewards ranging in
amount from $100 to $7,000. Gov. Jenkins’
rewards for escaped criminals never exceeded
$200 each, and there were only a very few of
them. Bullock has paid for lawyers’ fees forty
thousand five hundred and fifty dollars ($40,-
550), over four thousand dollars of which has
been paid to his ancle, “Judge” (?) R. H.
Brown, since the 9th of May, 1870. Judge (?)
Brown has not had any other practice that I
know or can hear of since he came to this
oonntry. Bullock has paid for extra clerks in
the Executive Department, all unauthorized,
over twenty-six thousand dollars. Gov. Jenkins
had no extra clerks.
The Colnmbns Enquirer has the following
“million” story:
Couldn’t Say Much fob Columbus.—A coun
tryman from five miles below Cusseta, Chatta
hoochee county, brought in a load of water
melons yesterday, which, after trying the
market thoroughly, he was forced to sell at
oents each. Ou'this event he was afterward
overheard soliloquizing after this fashion
“Yes, this is a nice price to git for my ‘mil
lions’ after haulin’ of ’em 35 or 40 miles. I was
offered a quarter for ’em in Cusseta, but like a
fool I thought I could do better up here. The
people of Chattahoochee is talkin’ of gittin’ up
a big barbecue to build a railroad to Columbus.
I can’t see what in the h—11 they want to come
here for. If I can get forgiven’ for coinin’ this
time I’ll bet 1 never cum agin.”
The Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, says that city
was visited by the severest storm known in a
long time, on that day. A house on Washing
ton street was blown down, and a Mr. Ogletree
and his wife were severely injured. Their child,
eightoen months old, was found in the rubbish,
but was unhurt.
Little Jessie Lawton fell from the second sto
ry of her father, Colonel Geo. Lawton’s house,
at Griffin, last Sunday, and was severely, if not
fatally injured.
The Atlanta Sun, of yesterday, notes the fol
lowing horrible accident:
As t> j regular night freight train on the Ma
con and Western Railroad was coming up Sat
urday night,'a dreadful accident occurred, abont
midnight, one mile below Bear Creek. It seems
that Dr. Lewis J. Dupree, of Griffin, was ly
ing upon the track and was not discovered in
time to prevent the engine from running over
him. One of his feet was cut off, his legs were
broken in several places, the pilot struck him
in the back, dislocating his spine, his shoulder
was fearfully crushed, his jawbone was broken
and all of his teeth knocked ont. As soon os
the train could be checked it was ran back to
where the body was lying. He was picked up,
put on the train and brought to Bear Creek,
where he shortly after died.
President Grant visited Staatsburg last
week, accompanied by Gov. Bullock and Col-
John W. Forney.
