Rtlfibty power,
Doga tw. Sheep.
Certain English hnsbsndmeD, who have immi-
grated to Erst Tenueeeee for the purpose of
rearing sheep, find their imported bucks, worth
a hundred dollars s pleoe, to say nothing abont
the native ewes—worried and devoured by the
worthless cura which swsrm in that section jaat
as they do here. We can imagine the conster
nation, grief and disappointment of these un
happy immigrants.
Their osse is a bard one. Bat the loss to Ten
nessee le fsrgresler. Whit wealth and pros
perity are here literally “ gone to the dogs!
The Tennessee wool erop ought to be s better
crop for tbit Bute than the cotton crop. Why
not? Is there a single reason why not? Not
one. Tho comparatively barren hill and moun
tain sides of Etat Tennessee might be covered
with fine sheep—bringing la immense revenues
from their wool, and atiliz'ng as well as fertili
zing tbe wost6 plioes, while the rich valleys and
river bottoms continue to torn ont their annual
wealth of prod ants, just as they do now. Bat
the people amt have cure 1
Bo In this region; but for the curs the good
farmer's annual income from cotton might be
enpplamented with abont an eqaal relarn from
wool, with the additional result of a vast im
provement in tbe fertility of his lands. There
Is a season of tbe year, from tbe termination of
wintry weather to m'.daammer heats, whan bat
for Western bacon tho people woald starve.
There is nothing bnt bacon to be had for love
rr money. Bnt if people oonld keep ehqep,
what with winter crops of tnrnlpe, barley, rye
and oats their Ublee might be supplied with tbe
finest mutton, at a good profit to tbe farmer.
Bnt it is impossible on aooonnt of the enni.
The most provoking!; Indierotuacsonntsof fail
ure in experiments at sheep raising have been
told ns by valued friends—In wbiob lsrgo flocks
have been exterminated In tbe course of a few
nights.
Why osn’t the enrs be got rid of? Simply
from tho terror of Legislators abont a dog law.
They are afraid of the opprobrium and opposi
tion of tbs Ignorant and worthless—of men al
most ss idle and useless as the cars they beep—
end that is the reason why the Southern SUtes
tear bnt few sheep.
One of the questions now propounded to
fsrmors In giving in their Ux returns is, bow
many dogs are there on yonr place? Tbe an
swer usually la, “I keep bnt one." “But,"
says the reoeiver, “I do not mean how many
yon keep yonraelf, bnt bow many are there al
together ?’’ “Oh. God only knows—I don't," re
joins tbe farmer. “Let me see—old Jim’s got
one, and old annt Bailie, she's got a bitch and
five paps. And Sam and Ned, they’ve got
'posanm dogs—and old Ike and his crowd,
they've got a good many. The faot is, I can't
answer tbe qneation with any certainty, bnt I
’spore there monght be somewbar between fif
teen and forty.”
Now, perhaps these inquisitions wore sug
gested by some latent, half formed pnrpoee to
intiate an abatement of tbe dostraotive nni-
noe. At least let ns hope so.
Materialism In Politics.
Mr. Forney’s Philadelphia Press groans over
the “materialism in politics” developed by
this Farmers’ Grange movement, by which he
says tho farmers propose to war on railroads in
a most misohievons and mistaken manner, and
also npon til interests at d industries otter than
their own. Mr. Forney groanB for tho good old
times of “ lofty tbongbt and high devotion to
the welfare of the whole errantry.”
He does not seem to oomprehend that the
support of pig Iron proteotive duties and high
Urrff on mannfaatared goods generally can pos
sibly be anyining else than “high devotion to
the welfare of tbe whole country,” or that oppo
sition to this wretched class legislation oan
bo anything olso than perverse, selfish, nnpo-
trlotio—an ntter prostitution of all tbe wise
nses of politioal parties.
And Ur. Forney may bs quite honest in that
idea. For half a century every Tory in Great
Britain hts repeated the doolaratlon, “the conn-
try’s going ter dey vylo” every time an old
mnsty abnse has been corrected, and tbe Figs
of Pennsylvania have virtually enjoyed a pen
sion so long ont of the farmers’ pockets that it
is moro deeply embedded in their minds than any
other idea oonneoted with government. In foot,
the chief end of government to the Pennsylva
nians Is to prevent the importation of foreign
goods—particularly of iron. •
With this idea of “freo republican institu
tions,” what baso and sclfirh beretios do tbe
farmers become, in tho eyes of Pennsylvania,
when they orgoniss a party to save themselves
from paying those oostly bonnties to the
manufacturers! They are little, if any better
than the Southern rebels They are poisoning
the politics of the country—introducing into
them a grosq and selfish materialism which in
sists upon fair and freo competition, and every
interest standing on ita own Iegt, instead npon
bomg carried on the backs of the fanners. We
think this kind of “materialism" is iike'y to
grow and flourish. .
Crops la Middle Florida.
We think the Georgia planters ean have no
good canoe to tremble abont the eotton citer-
pillar, until they hear Florid* holler. The
Floridian of the 17th, however, has thla to say
abont crops in that region:
The crops in thl* county as a general thing
are certainly good, bnt In some localities where
the oorn has not been well worked it is not so
promising. An nnasnsl qaAntity of rain has
fallen in tho county daring the last two or throe
weeks, and the farmers are now waging a des
perate battle with the gross, whiob seems likely
to get the best of the conflict unless we have
some dry weather very soon Oorn generally
has been laid by and we suppose cannot be in
jured much, bnt ootton and other crops will suf
fer materially unless the seasons improve. We
bear little talk now of tho caterpillar, though
we suppose every farm oonld furnish a few on
s pinch. Bnt It is best not to borrow trouble.

“Dun lasers.”—The Atlanta Harold of yes
terday makes the following point on Mr. Ste
phens’ editorial on the execution of O’Neal, at
Atlanta laat week, whioh editorial will be found
in onr “Georgia Press" column. Says tho
Herald:
Snob an Imperious passion has Mr. Stephens
for “dead iaanoo,” that if a live issue is pre
sented to him he waits until it is dead before he
says a word about it; as witness the cose of
O'Neal. While O'Neal was alive and pleading
for pardon, Mr. Stephens said not a word. The
case hadn't yot reached the point at which it
wss fit food for his royal pen. Bnt O Neal
being banged, buried, and almost forgotten,
Mr. Stephens, in an elaborate article in yester
day's Sun, goes to show why be ought not to
hocr been bung- Can't somebody pluck Mr.
Stephana out cf this perpetual graveyard ?
It oocura to ns that ths Herald is entitled to
oooro one.

THE GEORGIA PRES*.
Judging from the newspaper reports, the only
chance for Georgia eotton planters to get out
even this year, is by means of the hay crop.
If they will be prompt about pulling the ootton
ont of the grass, s splendid hay erop will be
reaTzed.
Ms. Elaji Cheistiax—whom the Marietta

Pnwn. Aocidxnt—Skillful ScMicit Op-
EBATION.—Mr. 8 F. deGraffeureid, rf this oity,
was severely injured at Tifron, a station on the
Brunswick and Albany Railroad, forty miles
from Albany, on Monday morning loot. He was
standing on or near the platform of tbe depot,
as tbe B AAR B passenger train was moving
off, when he found that by remaining where he
was there was danger of hts being crashed. He
started to leave the epot, when the corner of
the car ttruek him in the forehead and on the
right slionlder, knocking him down. In at
tempting to rise, his left foot was thrown under
the passing wheels, and mashed off across the
instep. Mr. deGraffenreid was badly braised
on the head and shoulders, and his foot horri
ble mangled. He was sent np Immediately from
TiftoD, on a pole cor, and arrived here abont
balf-past eight o'clock in tbe evening, snffering
the most rxcrnclstiflg pains. On Tuesday morn
ing lost Drs Hilsman and Btrozsr performed
the difficult and skillful surgical operation of re
moving the bruised flesh and ern-hed bones of
tbe foot, and lapping the skin of the foot so that
it will cover tbe wonnd and join to the skin of
tbe leg. By this operation the heel will be pre
served, if a second operation is not rendered
necessary. Mr. deGraffenreid is now doiDg as
well as could be expeoled. We hope that his
wounds will speedily heal ap. We and the com-
inanity at large deeply sympathize with him in
bts present calamity.
Latxb.—Since writing the above the physi
cians have been compelled to perform another
operation npon Mr. deGraffenreld’a leg. After
the wontd had been dressed Tuesday morning,
gangrene set In so rapidly that amputation a
few inohea below the knee was rendered neoes-
eary. We are informed that the patient is
doing as well as conld be expected nnder the
oirenmstanoes.
Killing Neas Lezebubo —A Dzspebate Chab-
aoteb Meets His Jcst Kewabd—Shot in the
Attihft to Mubdxb His Employee.—The plan
tation of Mr. U. Hitt U situated about scveD
miles east of LeeBburg, in Lee county. Mr.
Hitt bos had in bis employ this year a negro
man, named BeDnett Drake, and bis wife, very
refraotory and impudent servants. He also
had in bis employ a negro boy, who is the son
of a former wife of Drake, whom Drake and his
wife were accustomed to treat in a barbarous
and inhuman manner. On the morning of
Monday lost, June 1C, 1873, Mr. Hitt went to
the bonto of Drake to remonstrate with them
for their cruelty to tbe boy, and to have it stop
ped. In tbe conversation that ensued abont the
matter tbe negro woman was very insulting in
her remarks, and impudent to the extreme.
Mr. Hut warned that if she did not oease her im
pertinence to him he wqnld slap her jaws. While
tnese words were passing tbe negro Drake re
mained in the cabin. Tbe woman repeated her in
sulting language and Mr. H. executed bis threat.
Bennett Drake immediately leaped ont from
bia cabin and grasped him by the throat and at
tempted to oboke him to death. The negro
woman then struck him from behind npon ttie
I. nek of the ru ck with a hoe, while ber hnsbsnd
held bis by the throat. In tbe scuffle that fol
lowed Mr. Hitt got ont his piatol, whioh was
discharged accidentally, hurting no one. This
frightened the negroes for the moment and
they turned loose their intended viotim. Re
covering his pistol, Ur. Hitt proceeded to his
honse and was followed by Bennett Drake, who
had armed himself, and wss uttering threats
and endeavoring to attack bis employer at a
disadvantage. Mr. H-tt told him to go back
and lot him alone. When he reached his own
yard, he informed Drake that if be pursued him
into his yard he (Hitt) wonld kill him. Not
heeding the injunction Bsnnett Drake ratted
forward tbroagU tbe gate, when Mr. B H. Hitt
shot him through the heart, cansing instant
death. Mr Hitt immediately rode to Leesburg,
gave information in regard to the matter, and
promptly surrendered himself into the bands
of the sheriff. Ws have heard no one condemn
tho conduct of Mr Hitt.

The Execution of O’Neal —Under this head,
the Atlanta Sun of yesterday has the following
extraordinary utteranoe:
Ought this unfortunate man to have been
hung? Was he guilty of murder? It is tine,
very little good can oome from a discussion of
this question now. Hs was tried and found
guilty ny a jury of h i own county, and he has
paid the extreme penalty of the law. Bat in
vindication of his memory, as well as of right
principles, and to put upon reoord our opinion
of the law and its administration in this ease,
yre give it as our very deliberate judgment that
the facts as disclosed, did not make a ease of
murder, as defined in onr Code. He and Little,
the man wham he slew, casually met on the
oomer of Broad and Marietta streets. Several
other person! were also casually oolleeted at the
some plaoe. O’Neal and Little mat in a friend
ly manner. Usual friendly salutations passed
between them. Little was the first of the two
to use unfriendly words. He referred to s mat
ter of reoent litigation between them. O'Neal
said in substance that he had gained his
ease aooordiog to law. Little said if he
hod gained it he hod done so by swearing
to “a lie,” “a damned lie," as some understood
it. This wss, of ooarse, very provoking lan
guage ; a blow followed; • rencounter ensued
which resulted in O'Neal’s killing Little by in
flicting a horrible wonnd with a dirk knife,
which he nraalJy carried with him. Wes this
murder, under tne laws of Georgia ? We think
not. Tbe highest grade of this offense was the
higheet grade of manslaughter, under the Code,
the punishment of whioh is not death. We re
fer to this inbj-ct, os tbe points involved deeply
conoern the rights and life of alL There is no
thing more important for the welfare of society
thin that the people shall understand their laws,
and especially their criminal laws—and that
they should be faithfully eiecuted as long as
they are npon the statute books. A. H. S.

two rails. It is nailed “Prismatic," because the
track is triangular or priamatio in shape—(be
single rail crowning the pritrm or triangle, the
aides of whioh support tha cars on tbe single
track—Ihocgh we have not space to describe it
minntely. It la the invention of Mr. E. Grew,
of Opelixa. patented and entirely owned by Mr.
Grew and CoL Beck. A railroad one mile long
on this plan is in operation at Opelika. It Is a
pronounced success, and Messrs. E. Orew k Oo.
have just closed a contract with the proprietors
of the Tallassee cotton faotory to bnild a road
for them to Opelika, five miles. A oompany
has been formed in Atlanta to bnild a street
railroad to Dr. Angler's Ponce de Leon Spring,
and they are abont dosing a contract with OoL
Beck to do the woik.
Gen. G. M. Sobbell, of Savannah, has been
elected an Alderman to fill the vaaancy caused
by the death of Mr. Thoruts H. Harden.
Thx Samtnr Republican correots its rumor of
the death of Geo. W. Woolten, Esq., of that
place. He was water bound in Oalhonn oonnty.
The same paper says soms of the planters in
that oonnty are so hopelessly in tbe grass, that
they are tnroieg their block on portions of their
ootton crop9.
The Atlanta Herald, of yesterday, has tho
following:
Athens, Ga.. Jnoe 18, 1873.—Mr. Holliday,
who was killed by a constable and posse of
oitizens of Jaokson county, was charged with
aa attempt to murder the ooDstablc, who at
tempted to arrest him Sondsy, when he resisted
him with an axe. Tbe ouustable then begged
him to come to the Conrt-honse on Monday, at
noon, which he rtf aatd to do. Tbe posso went
to his bouse Tuesday, when he fired on thorn
with a double-bftrrcle-i shot gun loaded with
buck shot, striking three of tho mon. He fired
a second time, and they returned the fire killing
him. He was armed with two gnus, a pistol
and bowie knife. The ooroner’s jury returned
a verdict of justifiable homicide in execution of
the law. Not one of the posse had keen charged
with being a Knklux by Holliday, or SDy other
person. Tho posse consisted of Remo of the
first citizens of the oonnty.
We find the following interesting “show np”
of the Liboria swindle in tbe Savannah News
of Thnwdsy:
The Liberian Colonization Scheme —Re-
Tur.N ov an Escaped Geoeoia Emioeant—An
Interesting Aooount of ms Experience—Teb-
rible Trials of the Deceived Colored Peo
ple.—Among tho Bteersge passengers who ar
rived at this port on Taerdiy evening, in the
steamship Ban Jacinto from Now York, was
John McBarrns, a colored man, better known
as John Swain, a native of Hawkinsville, Ga.,
and well known on the river as the pilot of the
late Chas. E. Hardee, with which he bad been
connected in this position from the time she
was built np to within a few months of the time
she was loet. John oslied npon ns yesterday
morning, and informed ns that be was one of
tbe party of one hnndred acd fifty oolored peo
ple from Hawkinsville, who left this oity in the
steamship San Salvador on the 10 h of Novem
ber last, for Liberia by way of New York,
nnder tbe anspioes of tho Amorioan Col
onization Society, of which expedition mention
was made in the News, at the time. He escaped
from the Oolony on the first of May, and left
for New York, from Monrovia, in the bark
Thomas Pope, Oaptain R’ohardson, reaching
that city a few days ago, when he took passage
for Savannah, arriving here as stated on Tues
day evening. We had qnite a lengthy and in
teresting interview witn John, and fonnd him
a sensible, intelligent oolored man, possessed of
bard, praotical sense, although not an edoeated
person. I left Savannah onthelGthof Novem-
sr, on the steamship San Salvador, to see iny
ife and ohildren off to Liberia. Upon onr ar
rival in New York, we were t8ken directly along
side of the bark Jasper, bound for Liberia.
Jnst before reaching New York, one of my
ohildren died, and npon onr arrival I requested
oermisslon to stay on shore aod have it decently
juried. This request was refused, and I was
forced on the bark with the others, whioh left
immediately for sta. I was thns compelled to
entrust the Interment of my child to strangers,
and although I was promised that all expenses
wonld bo paid from Georgia to Liberia, $18
woa exacted of me for the bnrial expenses of the
child. It was nu: my intention to go to Liberia
at that time, and thoso in charge of the expedi
tion knew it I went to New York to Bee my
family off, intending to follow them in a
few months, bnt was foroed on board
the bark and not allowed to go on shore. In
faot taken away against my wilL Mr. J. W.
Lsthrop, of Savannah, had promised me he
wonld seed me ont to Liboria as soon as the
season closed, I at that time being engaged to
him as pilot of his boat As It is, however, I
am glad I want to Liberia, as my eyes have
been opened to the great fraud that has been
pradioed npon my people, and I shall strenu
ously oppose emigration from Georgia, or any
other Southern State. This is onr home, and
we are better treated, have more comforts and
irisrileges for omoelves, ore better paid for onr
abor, when we act right and honestly, than we
con be in any other country, Liberia especially.
Oaring to an agreement between the vessels
running to Cape Palmas and the Colonization
Society, no emigrant is permitted, after ho
lands, to leave the country under two years. By
that time they are either dead, or deprived of
all means of getting away. Diecovering this, I
determined to leave the plaoe, and oaw Captain
Richardson of tbe Bark Pope, at Palmas, and
begged him to bring me back. This be refused
to do for the reason stated. Bnt I showed him
my Custom Hones license os a pilot, when he
promised he wonld do what be conld for me “as
a sea-faring man.” He told me to meet him st
Monrovia, three hundred miles from Cape Pal-
man, on the first of May, end he wonld take me
to New York. I laid hid npon the beach for
three weeks, being supplied with food by my
wife, who hod to bring it five miles from the
colony. When the English steamer Virgo an-
ehored within four miles of the beach and I got
a native to carry me ont there. By this means
I reached Monrovia, met OapL Richard ion, who
bronght me to Naw York. This in brief is tbe
statement of this oolored man, who it seems
■old his little property for $700, whioh he can
not buy now for $2,000. He is penniless, his
wife and ohildren ore in Liberia, and he now
hoe to call on his white and oolored friends to
Assist him in raising the means to bring them
back. John states that the mortality is fear
ful at Cape Palmas, eighteen and twenty of the
Georgia emigrants dying doily during acclima
tion. When the six muntbs' provisions allowed
them by the society give oat, they hSTe to de
pend npon the broad root, and palm oil, tbe
food of the natives, as tubsistenee. Specimens
of this food were exhibited to ns, and onr opin
ion is tbe same as John's—that it cannot be
compared to good oorn bread and fat bacon.
Tbe natives roam the oouotry in idleness, men
end women going naked with the 7xoeption of
s ««v»al! clout about the loins. They
live in the bnahes, npon tbe products
above stated, and enliven tbe time by hewing
one another with bogs cutlasses, similar to
onr scythes—ea a general thing, however, they
do not disturb the colonists. Many of the eml-
£ranta from the South, Instead of civilizing
throe savages, adopt their mode of life and take
to the boshes nth them with an alacrity and
facility remarkable. John lays there are a num
ber ot Georgia negroes in oome of these tribes,
who are as wild and barbarous a* tbe natives
themselves. Tbe climate is terrible, it being
imparoible for e Southern negro to work in the
open air after 6 o'clock in the morning, and late
in the avening. Among the other blessing! en
joyed by Southern emigrant* is • visitation,
daring the rainy season, of swarms of venom-
ouj insects, oalled “drivers,” abont the sizs of
onr large red ant, which fid the hnts and worm
themselves into every nook and oorner.. Their
bite is terrible, and we ore informed thst tiro
oolored women, who were bed-ridden, end una
ble to keep these insects off them, died from
tbe effects of the bites, their bodiewbeing swol
len horribly. There is no opportunity
for s colored man or woman who
without means or assistance to elevate
themselves in any manner in such a oountry,
nnder affairs as they now exist Colonists are
escaping whenever opportunity offers and re
turning to the States; their oondition is repre
sented as deplorable, as sftor the first service of
the society—taring them oat there—nothing
more is done for them. Many of those who
have been si tbe Gape Palmas Colony for fonr
or five years, and who have succeeded in getting
assistance from their white friends here are re
taining, their term ot oompalsory residenoe
having expired. Some retarned in the bark
Hope, with John Burras, several of whom are
Georgians. The names of these returned dis
gusted colonists are as follows: Sarah Lewis
and two children, Oolambna, Ga.; Eliza Bacon,
Savannah; Mary S. "Wayne, three in family.
North Carolina; Lacy Graham and children,
Sooth Carolina. The oolored woman, Eliza
Bacon, who emigrated from Savannah fonr
Years since with a party of eighteen blood
relations, returns alone; the other seventeen
having died in Liberia daring that period. A
family named Grnmwell, also from this State,
numbering five when left here, is redaoed to
one member. John Burras will call meetings
of his people in this city and address them npon
this emigration sabjact, relating his own and
othero' expertenoe concerning the glgantiofrand.
He will then proceed to Milledgeville, Sparta,
Mooon and Hawkinsville. He Is anthorized to
sot os agent for the Georgia Colonists who are
anxious to return, and writ take np subscrip
tions for that purpose. The colored people
should feel it a privilege to assist in bringing
home these poor deoeived friends and relatives.
The berk Hope will leave for Liberia the latter
port of Angoat. and arrangements can be made
with Yates k Polterfisld, owners, in New
York, for the transportation.
