of the Democratic party win assemble in At
lanta on Wednesday, the Cth day of Deoember

Tito Fence Question.
The farmers ten us we must stir up the Leg
islature on the fenoe question—that fenoe tim
ber ia getting very aearoe in the old oounUea,
and old field pine saplings are perishable and
costly fencing material; and lastly that in theae
piping days of freedom mauling rails and lay
ing fences is far below the dignity of freedmen -,
and what ia more they wont do it. This ia
bringing things to a orWa very fast. And this
crista is all the more alarming because every
negro keeps a long nosed runt of a hog who
will go through a poor fenoe into your corn
field before you can say Jack Robinson; and
then, vioe versa, as negro won’t build much
of a fence around his own oorn or potatoe
patch, or tolerate trespassers in the shspo of
white man’s stock, what he does do is to ait in
the door of his cabin on hot summer days, gun
in hand, and shoot every oow, calf andpig which
goes through or Jumps over his shabby inclo
sure. This makes it tight times for white men,
and white men are therefore clamoring long
and loudly for a law to prevent all stock from
going at large.
But a great many difficulties surround this
subject and it seems to us the Georgia Agricul
tural Sociolies ought to take it up—study into
and digest it, and proaent to the Legislature the
sebeme of a stock law wbieh will meet the sit
uation. If possible, the interests or eounties
devoted to stock raising and of oonnUes whose
main business is agricultural must be harmon
ised. Borne will say this will be easily done by
exempting the former from the operation of a
stock law. But then, what shall be done wbero
aueb eounties abut—where county lines moot-
on one side of which aro large eattlo ranges,
and on the other eultivated farms? This is the
main trouble to be solved. It is a clear ease
that the range in agtioullural eounties ia not
worth a Ulhe of the fence expenses, while in
the eattlo eounties the fences amount to little
or nothing.
Meanwhile, the cost of fencing and the d ffi-
enlty of keeping it op in the agricultural coun
tries is yearly increasing, and the practical value
of the rango brooming less, and the neoesaity of
some remedy doily growing more urgent. Let
the farmers themselves take hold of this matter
and embody their views sod wants tbrongh s
bill to bo presented to the Legislature. Each
eonnty clnb or association might discuss this
matter and send ono of their best men to a
oommon convention of delogstos, and altogether
agree upon a remedy which might be authori
tatively pros-sod on the General Assembly. On
the importance of the topic, consider tho fol
lowing statement, which we find in one of onr
exchanges:
Borne one bav been approximating the first
oaat of all the fences in the Doited States, put
ting It at ft ,230,000,000. These most be en
tirely renewed every ten years, making the
annual cost of fenoes $129,GOO,000.
Tho Georgia State Agricultural Society baa al
ready recommended the passage of a fenoe law
to tho Legislature, hnt they failed io furnish a
abemo. ^
The Champion Munster Discovered—
lie Four* Kerosene over Mia Wife,
Nrln Her on Fire and Itnrns Her to
n t’rlsp.
A Boston dispatch to the Herald, of Sunday,
from Lynn, Maas., aaya that a barber of that
etty named John G. Clinton, was arrested Sat
urday night, charged with first besting bis wife
in a moat shocking manner, and then pouring
keroaeno over her and setting her on fire. Sho
was literally roasted to death. Her body was
still burning when found, and presented a sick
ening appearance. There were marks of vio
lence on her hood consisting of two or threo
cuts, looking as though they had been made
with eome dull instrument. Oo her breast were
also wounds, wbioh appeared to have been
oanaed by something beside the flames. The
features were rendered nnreoognizablo, and the
hair was burned close to the head, leaving the
skull bare and horribly orisped, and black flesh
was dropping from her hands, arms and body.
Tnx Nxxr Pbksidxmtixi. Bxcx.—The Balti
more Ban's Washington correspondent under
date of Saturday, writes that tlnoo the Repub
lican victories in the fall election aomo of the
leading members of the party who have visited
'Washington, state that a growing feeling is evl
dent that the party ean elect most any one for
Preaidcnt, and that tho necessity of renomina
ting Grant is no longer discussed. The advo
cates of the ono lcrm principle have taken fresh
oonrage from them facts, and tho friends of
Secretary Boutwcll intend to make his name
more prominent, so that it will at least go be
fore tho oonvention. Within a day or two some
of the “passive Democrats’’ anuonnoo that a
movement ia on foot by the conservative Be.

DxHocaxTto State Contention.—A telegram
from Clifford Anderson, Executive Chairman of
the State Democratic Committee, dated at For
syth, was received at thia office yesterday even
ing about t o’clock. Wo presume similar tele
grams were eent to all parts of the State. It
oallt a oonvention of the Democracy of the
Slate in Atlanta, on Wednesday, the Gth day of
Deeamber next, for the purpose of nominating
a candidate for Governor. Let the eonnties all
aot as soon as possible for the appointment of
delegates. A meeting in this eonnty might bo
held on Saturday the 2d of Deoember. We sug-

Veto or run Eutonou Bnx.—Aoticg Gov
ernor Conley pnt himself in the nngraeefnl and
nnjnstiflable attitude of vetoing the bill forja
special election for Governor nooording to the
Ooastitntion, bnt hia veto was overruled in both
honeee yesterday. We have not yet seen that
instrument, bnt learn that the Governor hangs
it on tho conatitational provision for canvassing
the returns of tho regular gubernatorial election.
If an, a poorer pietenoe for a veto conld not be
imagined. -
Tbs Pcbfoob Dsounso. — Nothing bnt a
Senas of security against effective interference,
end the oonrage which impunity gives, could
have betrayed the Washington organ of the Ad
ministration into an ntteranoe so startling aa
that which appears below. Referring to tho
recent elections in the Southern States, the or-
gan says:
It will require not levs than tea thousand rec-
tdsr troops, judiciously distributed throughout
the Southern States, io insure s free sn<l fair
election in those Stales in 18*2. It may be
necessary that Congress should iaorease the
army.
Tns Memphis Oonott Taxes —The receipts
of cotton at Memphis daring September end
October amounted to 8S43 and 33,736 bales, re-
respective ly. Thr se exceed those for the oor-
reaponding periods last year by over 17,000
bales.
These figures look very much aa if Memphis
Would get over 600,000 bales thia season, not
withstanding the reduetion in the crop.
Pvnusxd roa Umcriaj. — John Gribble,

THE GEORGIA I’ll IAS
Hon. Wright Brady, one of tho members of
thA/egialatore from Sumter county, is now at
his homo quick sick.
The Snmlcr Republican folks announce that
they are now living on two meals a day, to oon-
aequenoe of subscriber* failing to come to
time, and are contemplating the prospects of
living on one, if the stomps don't eome in. As
the almanacs say, now is s good time to start
two or three other papers in Americas.
The Savxnnnah Republican responds to the
Atlanta Sun’s “wonder” whether all tho papers
to the State that are opposed to farming out the
public printing are interested to it, by remind
ing the “wonderer" that it was interested in
having the Constitution beaten and the printing
given to itself, and thinks the lees the luminary
months abont selfishness and selfish motives the
bettor. All of which is heartily approved and
forwarded.
Letters for J. N. Seymour sod B. L. Wil
lingham, of Macon, are held for postage to the
Savannah office.
Mr. Abram Foard, one of the oldest and best
citizens of Bildwin eonnty, died last week,
aged 81 years.
Wo clip the following items from the last
Sandersville Georgian:
Tho late Washington Baptist Association
adopted strong measures in opposition to the
manufacture, sole or use, as a beverage, by
church members, of intoxicating liquors..
Mr. O. C. Brown, one of the sufferer* by the
Ato fire At Linton, informs ns thst there is no
doubt of the fire being the work of an incendi
ary. The sufferers are Dr. John Stone, Messrs.
W. F. Womble, John Trawiek, O. C. Brown, B.
H. Miller and J. R. Goss. Ono stock of goods
partially insured. No cluo to tho perpetrators
of the deed.
The Tslbotton American aays a “small skir
mish” occurred between the printers in the
Standard office last Monday evening, which was
investigated by the devil who took a very prom
inent part in the row. It lasted only three hours,
which was pretty well for a “small skirmish."
Mr. Finlay, of Tslbotton, shot and danger
ously wounded a negro last Friday morning.
The negro had threatened to kill Mr. F.
On the question whether Conley ia Governor
or Senator, the Chronicle and Senlinol presents
this argument:
According to tho "moderate” theory of Dem
ocracy, Benjamin Conley, President of the Sen
ate at ihe time the Executive vacaney occurred,
became “Governor,” to hold bis office until hia
•ueoeasor shall be elected and qualified. If this
be true, clearly Mr. Conley vacated not only his
office as President of the Senate, but his Sena
torial aoat also; for no man can be Senator and
Governor at the same time. The Senatorial
seat of the 18th Senatorial District ia, therefore,
now vacant, and an election should be held to
fill the vacancy. If Mr. Conley is not “Gov
ernor” clearly he is not President of the Senate,
end be should taka bis seat on the floor of the
Senate, representing the people of the district
who elected him. Now, which is it? Is Mr.
Conley Governor or Senator ? If Governor, be
is no longer Senator, and the people of the 18th
Diatriot are not repreaonted; nnd if Senator, Ho
is not Governor.
Mr. W. J. Mims, who was bom and reared at
Columbus, and daring the late civil war served
as a member of the City L'ghl Guards, died at
Montgomery Sunday. His remsins were
brought to Columbus nnd buried on Monday.
Tho editor of the Columbus Sun, who was on
a visit last Friday to Hon. A. H. Stephens, at
Crawfordsvillo, thus refer* to it:
If some Northern Jenkins had, by ehanco,
dropped down on “Liberty Hall,” Friday night,
he would have supposed it was a Grand Con
vocation of the Grand Cyolops himself, prelim
inary to a new rebellion. There was General
Toombs, Judge Stephens, Billups, Reed, a son
of Judge Reese, and three or fonr other law
yers, besides two bloody editors. (That a set
of conspirators, and what a place to concoct
“treasons and stratagems;” but “spoils” are
gone ainoe tho Bnllock strayed or was stolen or
stole. Stealing now ia a “dead issue,” accord
ing to the old rule, “0 from O and 0 remains.”
Politics, however, was scarcely mentioned, and
diaenssiona on law and anecdotes made Time
fly on feathery pinions. Under the withering
wit end keen saraoam of Gen. Toombs, we had
at onr feast of reason and flow of soul—
“Mirth that wrinkled care derides.
And laughter bolding both bis sides.”
A portion of the pows of the Bsptist Chnrch
at Columbus, were rented on Monday for
$1,711 30. There are 100 more yet to bo
rented. Tbo highest bid was $150. Five
others brought $100 oach.
The North and South Railroad has secured
the right-of-way for fifteen miles from Rome,
at a cost of $2,300.
Tho two negro Senators, Wallace, of Milledgo-
ville, and Deveaux, of Jones county, were np
before the Mayor of Atlanta, Tuesday, on the
oharge of drunk and disorderly, firing off pis
tols, etc. That tender-hearted functionary let
them off with $3 and oosts.
Tho local of the Constitution loams that
paper is soon to be started to Atlanta under the
namo of the “Constitutional Monarchist,” and
to be devoted to the advocacy of the doctrines
of “Imperialism." Which is, it strikes us,
very roundabout way of saying that another
Radical paper ia soon to be published. If they
don’t all advocate Imperialism, what do they
advocate?
There are ono hundred and ten lawyers, and
seventy-seven licensed bar-rooms in Atlanta.
Tho Sun thinks the latter fact explains the
former.
We learn from the Atlanta Son, of yesterday,
that the dwelijng house “of Mr. George Harve),
five milee west of Griffin, was entirely destroyed
on Monday night—tho family barely escaping
with their lives. The fire originated in the
■tore-room, and had got so for nnder way that
it was impossible to save even the clothing of
the family. The loss amounts to about $2,500.”
The Governor—lion. Hiram Warner.
Editor* Telegraph and iTcatenger:
The General Assembly having passed the
election law for Governor to fill the unexpired
term of Governor Bollock, and the Democratic
party beiog about to be oalled together to con
vention to nominate a suitable candidate, al
low mo to suggest the Hon. Hiram Warner as
the man for the times.
In these times of dishonesty, corruption and
rings, tbo Governor should bo too honest to
be suspected; toe incorruptible to be ap
proached by the agent of a ring.-' Such a man
is Judge Warner.
In these times of daDger, of tyrannical in
terference by tho Federal Congress and Gov
ernment, it is well to have for onr Chief Exec
utive a man influential at Washington. By hia
intimate association years ego with Senator
Trnmbnll, and that gentleman’s personal
knowledge of hia character, Judge Warner is
again pre-eminently tho man for the times.
In theae times when it is so important to over
haul Ihe Exocntive Department and ferret oat
its eorrnpt expenditure of the people’s money,
one familiar with treeing the subterfuges and
windings of crime nnd criminals by a long life
as oonnsel and judge, and one not afraid to ex
pose crime because it might involve some of
the ring of his friends, is “par excellence” the
man for Ihe offics of Governor now—and Jadgo
Warner ia that man.
In these limes when most of the great men
of onr State—men whom the State honored
when she wxs free—ere disabled from holding
office, it is really most refreshing to think
that we have one man of the men so honored
then who ia eligible, and to whom we can
entrust the Chief Exesative < flics non. That
man is Judge Warner.
In these times when the party and people are
divided about men to fill this high office, it is
most fortunate that we can find one so far above
all others in sge, experience, and fitness for
the high position as to oommand tho confi
dence and insure the support of all the honest
voters of tho State. 8ach a man is Judge War
ner. No Potmens.

tractors a lien on railroads for labor done in the
construction thereof, being unfinished business,
was taken up, and on morion of Mr. Nunnally
recommitted to the Jndciary Committee.
A bill to alter and amend section 1035 and
1038 of the Code relating to tho publie printing
was, on morion of Mr. Nichols, token np.
Mr. Lester moved to substitute a bill to reg
ulate and let out to the lowest bidder the publio
printing of this State.
Mr. Kibbee made the point that the bills did
not relate to the same subject matter, and, there
fore, one could not be substituted for the other.
The President ruled that the bills did not re
late to the same subject matter, and that the
substitute could be first perfected.
Mr. Candler appealed from the decision of
the President.
Mr. Lester hoped the ruling of the Choir would
be sustained.
The motion to substitute nnd the appeal were
withdrawn.
Mr. Lester moved to lav the bill oo the table.
The motion was loet. Yeas 13, nays 20.
The bill amends the law relating to publie
printing, by providing that 750 eopies of the
the journals of the Legislature shall be printed
instead of 2,000, and by inserting “ that said
account is correct and just, and that the prioes
paid are not above the customary rules of simi
lar work and material, when employed in ser-
vice of private parries,” and changes the com
pensation from 30 per cent, to 25 per cent.
Mr. Nichols moved to strike ont 25 per cent
and insert 10 per cent

A bill to mike it penal to withhold money or
property belonging to tho State of Georgia, be
ing the special order, was then taken np.
On motion a bill to provide a remedy by which
money or property stolon or fraudulently de
tained from tho State or tho Western and At-
Ianlio Railroad may be recovered, and for other
purposes, was taken np as a substitute. The
bill provides that upon tho information of any
citizen the Solicitor General shall file a petition
in the Superior Court to recover money or prop
erty fraudulently stolen or detained from the
State, and that an attachment shall issue tgainBt
the property of tho defendant, upon tho oath of
the informer that said defendant does detain
money or property from the State.
ilr. Hillyerpropoaed to strike out the 9 th bbo-
tioa, which provides that the informer shall file
a bond to indemnify the defendant against all
oosts, damages and expenses, provided it shall
appear on the trial that such claim or informa
tion is false or unfounded, and insert therefor
that upon tho defendant making affidavit that,
to the best of his knowledge and belief, the in
formation is false and nnfonnded, the Judge
shall issue en order to show cause why the in
former should not give such bond, nnd upon the
return of said rule the Judge may require such
bond or not in his discretion.-
Mr. Candler opposod the amendment.
Mr. Brock spoke against tbo amendment.
Mr. Hillyer claimed that the seotion as it
stands casts an obstruction in the way of the
remedy aa entirely destroys it, and tho Courts
should not be closed to sneh suits in that way,
and that there ia no parallel case in tho law.
Mr. Wellborn movod to lay ihe bill on the
table. Carried.

Prayer by tho chaplain.
Tho Journal of yesterday read and approved.
Mr. Heidt moved to suspend the rules to take
np a resolution that no member shall speak
longer than ten minutes on any subject, with
out the consent of the House. Motion pre
vailed.
Mr. Parr moved to insert fifteen instead of
ten minutes. Agreed to, and the resolution
adopted as amended.
The Governor’s message returning tho bill
to provide for an election to fill tho nnexpired
term of It. B. Bollock without his approvsl, was,
ou motion, taken np nnd read.
He gives as his chief reason for vetoeing the
bill, the argnment that while under the Consti
tution the Legislature has power to pass a gen
eral law to fill unexpired terms, they have no
authority to pass an act to provide for an elec
tion to fill a vacancy which oocurred prior to tho
passage of the act.
Mr. Hassell hoped that tho bill would pass by
an overwhelming constitutional majority over
the veto.
Mr. Bosh favored tho passage of the bill over
tho veto.
Mr. Jackpon argued againatpassing the bUlovor
the Governor’s veto. Ho said Conley is a usur
per, and ought not to have been reoognized at
first, and the msjority who voted to do so now
contradict themselves when they propose to hold
an election to fill the office which they recognize
that he now holds. It is too late now to pass a
law to fill a vacancy wbioh has been filled before
this bill becomes a law. If Mr. Jenkins were in
Conley’s place would it be attempted to order
an election ? If ono conld look into tho hearts
of the people it would be seen that they do not
want an election held now, for the risks are
greater than tho advantages to bo gained. The
Federal Congress is on tho eve of assembling,
and nearly every State in whiob elections have
been held baa gone Republican. Tho Ku.klnx
Committees are about to report, and so long as
tho colored snd white people are arrayed on op
posite sides there will be tronble at the election,
and amid all these circumstance* wo are to
attempt to inaugurate a Governor with the
greatest probability that tho present incumbent
will resist hia entrance into the gubernatorial
chair. Mr. Jackson said he is a Democrat so
long as the party acts rightly, and a Republican
so far aa tho Republican party seta rightly.
Mr. Bicon said that he wanted to vindicate
himself and those who vote for the passage of
the bill from any imputation of doing so be
cause of a desire of popularity or fear of pop
ular opinion. The reasons assigned for the
veto are fallacious. The law is clear that the
General Assembly may order the election, snd
the present incumbent ought not to raise a
quibble when he is deciding upon his own
rights. All the argnment upon the other side
is that Mr. Conley will resist the newly elected
Governor, but when the bill was up for
passage, it was argued that no imputation
ought to be cast upon him. It is not
a question of policy now when the
Legislature has determined that the in
terest* of the State demand the proposed elec
tion, and the acting Governor has declared that
he will not sanction the bill.
Mr. Jackson is mistaken when he says the
people do not want this election; they have
been plnndered and maligned by the “head
devil,’' who baa fled, leaving Conley to fill the
place be occupied, ao as to cover np his villa-
niea.
The gentleman from Fulton admits that Con
ley is a usurper, and it la the duty of sworn
Legislators not to reoogeize usurpation, but to
repudiate it. If Mr. Conley will not yield to
the Governor now proposed to be elected, why
should he yield two years hence, and why would
not the same trouble be feared then as now?
The veto mesasge when stripped of all un
sound argument, dwindles down to tho idea
that Mr. Conley ia in the office of Governor and
wants to slay there twelve mouths longer.
Mr. Hogc said that Mr. Couly is only exercis
ing the duties of Governor until a successor is
elected and qualified, and it is beyond doubt,
that the right to hold an election to fill the va
cancy exists. He favored the passage of the
bill over the veto.
Mr. Snead called the previous question, and
the call was sustained. The yeas and nays were
taken with tho following result—yeas 110, 36
nays. Tho bill was declared passed notwith
standing the veto, and was ordered transmitted

On the 12th day of April. 1870, Mr. Cooper,
the President of the road, delivered to Colonel
D. G. Cot ting, the Secretary of Stato, $100,000
of the road bonds for State indorsement, taking
Cotting’s receipt for them to be substituted by
Governor Buttock. Tho road still holds Got.
Cotting’s receipt. Oh the same day the reet of
the bonds to the amount of $200,000 were de
posited by Colonel Cooper with Perino Brown,
agent of the Georgia Railroad and Banking
Company in Atlanta.
Oh the 22d day of Jane, 1870, Ur. Brown de
livered to Mr. Kimball $100,000 of the bonds
in his possession on Colonel Cooper’s order.
And on the 9th day of August, 1870, Mr. Brown
delivered $15,000 more of the bonds to Mr.
Kimball on Colonel Cooper’s order.
Thus we see that $275,000 of these bonds
were issued before five miles of the road was
fully finished, Only 3 84-100 miles from Oar-
tersvillo to the Etowah was completed. The law
allows thr State indorsement to the bonds of
$12,500 per mile when each five miles are
done, or in batches of $62,500 for every five
miles.
In addition to the $273,000 of these bonds,
Governor Bullock has had issued $300,000 more,
ostensibly to be exchanged for the first $275,-
000, bat both sets are oat.
On the 11th of April, 1870, Liman, Gonant &
Co , the contractors, wrote to Colonel Cooper
requesting him to ask Governor Bollock to torn
over to Clews & Co., of New York, the bonds
for advances when tho bonds shall have been
indorsed by him. On Ihe 12ih Colonel Cooper
made the request of Governor Bollock.
Gov. Bollock indorsed these bonds knowing
the road was ooboilt. If wi? hid nothing else
against him, ibis violation of his dniy alone
would jnstify his impeachment.
It ia with pain we give these facta, beo&nse
they implicate partiea respected hitherto Bnt
we have no choice. Ihe troth mast bo told, let
it hart whom it may.
This road is 22 miles long; $275,000 is the
wholo indorsement it is entitled to when done.
Yet all was given before five miles was done.
And fourteen miles only is complete now. Thus
has Bollock committed the State to the payment
of a large amount of principal and interest ill©
gaily. Clews* Co. hold the $275,000. Who have
the last $300,000 is not known.
Here is matter for the Legislatnre.—Consti
tution,.
Ilclfuiitf flie “Bear*” Again.
Tho Colnmbns Enquirer says: The Agricul
tural Department has raised the estimate of the
cotton crop, which plays into the hands of the
“bears.” It bases its last calculation upon the
lateness of frost and tbe “top crop.” There
may be some ground! to expect a large yield
from these conditions in other sections; bnt
certainly the planters of Southwestern Georgia
and Eastern Alabama aro not able to see where
their increased yield is to oomo from. All the
reports and fignringa of tho Department cannot
make a large ootton crop ont of that now com*
ing in; and perhaps one good result of its mis
take will be tho recollection of it in coming
years, when it may again undertake to advise
the world that the planters do not understand
the condition of their own crops.
Now let those planters who have paid their
debts and have something over, just wait quietly
until the “bears” hare done their worst, and
they will see some sport as well as put money
in their parses. If some of the big crop gentry
don’t get a toping skyward and a hard fall on
thair return therefrom that they will remember
all their lives, we shall bo greatly mistaken.
Wm. Tammany be Beobgasizid ?—Under
this head the Boston Post’s New York corres
pondent, nnder date of Thursday last, writes as
follows:
Tbe general opinion appears to be that Tam
many will have to keep in the backgronnd for
some time to oomo. Its power is, for tho pres
ent, completely broken, nnd tho men who have
been foremost in managing it are shrewd
enough to know that their best polioy Is inac
tivity. But whatever may bo the future of Tam
many. It is certain that the Democratic party
will be reorganised without much delay. Not
withstanding the defoat it has just suffered, the
party can and will got control of the State again.
The majority against it on tho State ticket can
bo easily overcome, and will be, perhaps, at the
next election. The Empire 8tate is not by tmy
means lost to Democracy. 'When a reorganiza
tion of the party takes place, and the people
have got over their indignation ngainst a few
individuals, we shall have this city wheeling
into line with its old majorities against Radical
ism, and tho rural Democracy nuking a bettor
fight than that of last week. At all events there
is a much bettor feeling among Democrats now
than there was then, and full confidence that
the part; will soon be in power once more.
Kc-Ki-ux nr Georgia and Fidiiida.—A Wash
ington special to tho Cincinnati Gazette of
Saturday says:
The Congressional Sub-Committee, composed
of Bayard, Soofleld and Maynard, rotnrned to
Washington to-day. The oommittee report that
they hi.ve Investigated Georgia and Florida, and
have found that the Kn-klnx organization has
on active existence in those States, but not to
that extent which would justify Interference on
the part of the Federal troop*, or require that
the writ of habeas oorpus be suspended.
Is He is Georgia?—We clip the following
from the last Memphis Christian Advocate:
Thomas G. Lane, local elder in the M. E.
Church, South, Jackson Station, Paine’s Chapel,
was unanimously expelled from the Church by
the quarterly conference on the 28th of October,
1871, under charges of falsehood and forgery.”
He having left the country and changed his
name, (G. L. Thomas) we failed to get his cre
dentials. W. T. Harris,
Presiding Elder, Jackson District.
Tax Bey of Tunis says he loves Gen. Grant.
Then, asks Grant, why doesn't he make mo a
present? He prefers Baez to Bey. Corner lots
are better than empty compliments.—Boston
