Telegraph & Messenger. 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. WORKINOJIKS’S candidate. OHILLY AUDOIN offers himself to the voters of Bibb county as a candidate, on the part of the workingmen, for Tax Collector, and, if elected, will give bond and discharge the duties of the office satisfactorily. july23 td* A CARD.
