"You look like von were going to the
Lunatic Asylum, ' said a Macon man the

Jones, stopping his animal. “Oh, only
a little ways,” answered the Macon man.

story granite front and has gobbled up
tho AdoeHbir. If Estill is not Governor
it won't bo our fault. - ’
In regard to Colonel Lockett’s well
known suit against Die Brunswick and
Albany Uniiroftd, the Albany News an
nounces that the Supreme Court has re
versed Judge Wright’s ruling at Cham

motion of plaintiff, and instructed the
court below to allow the motion to reduce
the attachment, and let the suit proceed.
They must really bo troubled with Bo

A Gwinnett county cat treed soven rata
tho other day.
Thus the Albany News: Mr. Estill,
proprietor of tho Savannah Morning
News, has purchased tho Advertiser of
that oity, and consolidated it with tho
Morning News. This gives Savannah
one daily paper only, and if tho Morning
Nws oontinuea at its present rate that

A little boy from the country actually

An old ntau named Fisher was run over

Tbe Greensboro Herald gives an ac
mrrttut of r very remarkable case of som
nanihulism which occurred mar that place
a few nights ago. A negro boy, about
fourteen years old, who had assisted in
taking bee tree and hiviug the bees, in
a piece of woods some mile or more from
home, got up in his sleep during the
night, and going to where the lnve had
boon left, shouldered it and brought it to
the bouse, without waking, having
crossed several deep gullies and three
ten-rail fences.
The Home Commercial remarks: The
Savannah News has recently purchased
the Advertiser aud consolidated the two
papers under the old name of the News.
The city of Savannah has been more lib -
oral iu "the support of her newspapers
than any city in Georgia, and yet one of
them, not fiudiug the business protitable.
has ceased to exist. The News is proba
bly the best appointed newspaper and
printing establishment in the State. Mr.
jr 11. Kstill, the proprietor, is a gentle
man thoroughly conversant with all the
details of the business ; he is a master of
his profession, aud the healthy condition
of his paper is the best evidence of the
fact. Major Thompson. Mr. Harris, aud
a fuil corps of editors, keep its pages well
filled. May the News continue to be,
what it has" been for years, one of the
leading journals of the South.
Thus tbe Quitman Reporter : Mr. Geo.
N Nichols has sold the Savannah Adver
tiser to Mr.J. H. Estill, of the Morning
News, and retires from journalism. All
subscriptions and contracts for advertis
ing will be carried out by the Morning
News, which will, of course, be satisfac
tory to all concerned. We are sorry to
Ree"Mr. Nichols (who, though not exactly
Leditor by trade, suited himself to cir-
Ketances, and made one of the most
laragrapkers on the Georgia press),
ke the quill and leave the craft ;
|i he has delivered his barque into
Eds, and we feel confident that
nor his patrons will have
to regret it. Estiil is the best
fcuywspaper financier that we know, and
ICol Thompson, Harris and Richardson
Lre just a little ahead of any other trio at
[work together on the press of the State.
The Hews, as a daily paper, is now witk-
Lout competition in Southern Georgia and
twiddle Florida, and we shall expect to
£ee it grow better > aud BP* 9 ** ita
wider every day.
The papers are alluding to the new
three- story building of the Morning
News. Fellow-citizens, it is a four- story
granite front with a cupola. .
A great deal of travel is passing through
Macon for Florida, owing to the little
discrepancy between the Central and Sa
vannah and Charleston Railroads at this
city.
Probably you think the Thomasville
Fair is going to be a small concern. Just
drop down and disappoint yourself in re
gard to that matter.
A colored horse-thief is the only sen
sation Meriwether county can afford.
We are glai to learn that Mr. Revill,
of the Greenville Vindioitor, is rapidly
recovering from the serious injuries re
ceived in attempting to pass himself off
as the Hon. Potiphar Peagreen. Water
man, of tho LaGrange Reporter, will
please govern himself accordingly.
Considerable colored corn -stealing is
going on in Troup county.
Aleck Nicholson, the colored person
who formerly misrepresented Decatur
county in tho Legislature, was kicked by
a mule the other day. . The animal
planted her hoof so suddenly and so firmly
that Aleck has since passed away. So we
hear.
"Put” Adams, of Eatonton. gives the
Mretenger the following remedy for
chicken cholera: “Knock the afflicted
fowl in the head and then bury. At the
end of three days it will appear again,
well, except the eyes filled with dirt.
One week after, the eyes will be all right
and the fowl can whip any other bird in
the yard.”
We desire to call particular attention
to the advertisement printed elsewhere
of the grand pyrotechnic display to take
place in Macon on Thursday, the 21st of
October, during fair week. This display
will he by far the most elaborate aud
costly exhibition of the kind that has
ever taken place in the South, judging
from the programme which is appended
to the advertisement. In addition to the
attractiveness of the display, the motive
which prompts it should be taken into
account and fairly weighed. It is given
for the purpose of raising money, which
is to be devoted to erecting in Macon a
monument to bur Confederate dead. The
names of the gentlemen who have the
matter in hand are a sufficient guarantee
that the programme will be strictly car
ried out.
Anew spring has been discovered at
Tallulah Falls.
Thus the Wayne Triumph: "That in
domitable and redoubtable newsman,
Colonel Gentry, is ever on the wing and
turns up in places and corners where you
least expect him. Tho invariable cry of
Morning Noose, Daily and ‘Weekly,’
only $2 ! salutes your ear on every side
until you actually believo that the Morn
ing News is the State itself, or Georgia
is the News, and upon your subscription
depends its salvation aud the redemption
of Bullock’s bonds.”
Thus the Thomasville Times: The Sa
vannah Advertiser has ceased to exist.
The paper, with its good will, etc., has
been purchased by that indefatigable, far
seeing newspaper mun, J. 11. Estill, of
tho Morning News. This gives the
News another impetus ahead, making of
it, if indeed it was not already, the lead
ing daily south of Baltimore. We bid
the Advertiser adieu with regret, and
welcome the people’s favorite, the Morn
ing News, to a wider and more extensive
field. May it prove as successful in the
future us it has been deserving in the
past.
The Brunswick Appeal says: “The
Savannah News has absorbed tho Adver
tiser, Mr. Estill having purchased the
good will aud business of the latter jour
nal. This leaves Savannah only one
daily, but one creditable to any city, and
ample for the wants of that city and the
section tributary to it. We wish the
News the most uuparullelod success, as it
richly deserves all, and even more, than
it can possibly get. If a few cf the
newspapers iu other communities of
Georgia wore to follow suit and consoli
date, and give us a less number but bet
ter journals, tho public and proprietors
would be gainers.”
The Eatonton Messenger announces the
doath of Judge Samuel Pearson, a promi
nent citizen of Putnam county.
Even the New Orleans Times has some
thing to say : “Tho Savannah Advertiser
has been purchased by J. 11. Estill, Esq.,
and consolidated with that able journal,
the Savannah News. The News has
been at the head of enterprising journal
ism in the Southern Atlantic seaboard
States for a long time. Savannah ought
to support liberally such a daily as the
News.”
Gainesville Eaqle: la mingling with
the crowd that was in town on Tuesday,
we foil in a knot of worthy citizens in
conversation which nt once presented
some features a little remarkable, to say
the least. There were five of them, viz :
Moses Bryan, 77 years of age; A. Bar
ker, 7(1; David Tanner, 7">; 1). K. King,
74 ; and L. B. Hutchins, GO. They are
plain farmers—are healthy, cheerful and
vigorous, and each bids fair for many
years yet of labor and usefulness.
The Quitman Reporter says: “There
has been a good deal of speculation since
the decision of the Supreme Court in the
ease of Nie Thompson, the murderer of
Captain Hunter, as to what will be the
next step taken by the defendant, or as
to whether au extra session of Brooks Su
perior Court will be called by Judge Han
sell for the purpose of re-sentencing the
prisoner. We learn that the attorneys
for the defendant have stated their
intention to move for anew trial
upon the grounds of newly discov
ered evidence, or the absence of au im
portant witness, and this being the case,
even after Nic Thompson is re-sentenced,
the execution of the sentence will be de
layed until after the case has been car
ried to the Supreme Court again, pro
vided the motion for anew trial is over
ruled, which will, of course, be the case.
It is not at all probable, however, that
Judge Hansell will call an extra session
of the court, from the simple fact that
it is but a little more than a month until
the regular fall term of our court will con
vene. It seems to us, as it must also to
them, that there is no possible chance
for the lawyers of this murderer to save
him from suffering the extreme penalty of
the law, which ho deserves, and any
further efforts upon their part can only
result in the .prolongation of his miserable
life and a continued expense to the county.
He has had a fair and impartial trial before
a jury of twelve of his countrymen, whose
verdict has been affirmed, after careful in
vestigation, by the highest tribunal in the
State, and it is useless for him m his law
yers to be catching up myths for the pur
pose of deferring his execution, with the
hope of his final escape from the just
penalty of the law'.
Atlanta Herald : Our contemporaries
of this State have contained frequent
references of late to the investigation
which Governor Smith is making into
our bond troubles under resolutions
adopted at the last session of the Legis
lature. The time has not yet arrived to
enter into any discussion on this subject
or indeed to venture on auy statement
other than one of very general character. It
may be stated, however, that the investi
gation being made both here and iu New
York is very thorough. What the final
result will be. it is impossible to state at
this time; indeed, the field covered by the
investigation is so wide, and embraces
such a long period of time, that it will
require some weeks yet of steady labor
to bring it to a satisfactory conclusion.
Not only the bonds and endorsed
luriug Governor Bulld(|k's administra
tion have passed muilkexamination.
but all the bonds issued '■Jfor the last
thirty years, and the paymemte of inter-
est on the same must be pa.-Ed in re
view. Any attempt, thereforeiia what
ever quarter, to foretell te results
of this investigation, can Abe con
sidered only as mere speculation. It
may not be amiss to remain that
the investigation in New York is lStely to
prove fruitful of important resultk "and
that a flood of light will be thrownAtpon
the history of our bond troubles. T&'he
people of Georgia will be glad to lJirn
that the Hon. C. C. Kibbee, of |he
Senate, has been spending the summer
in New York city, and has rendered
important service in this investigation.
He returned to the State a few days
ago, but, as might be expected, is
quite reticent in regard to the results
of his labors. Colonel Kibbee states
that the credit of Georgia stands veiy
high in the city of New York at this time,
and the people,' bankers and others, at
tribute this to the management of her
finances by the Governor and the Demo
cratic party in power. In proof of this,
it need only be stated that while Georgia
seven per cent, bonds ere worth par to
day in New York city, the bonds of the
other Southern States are worth from
fifty-two down to ten cents in the dollar.
The crops in Hart county will be short.
Col Jones, of the Macon Telegraph, is
now at home—that is, he was day before
yesterday.
The newspapers are quarreling over the
question as to who originated the State
news column. The Macon Telegraph and
the Augusta Chronicle both claim the
honor, and both are welcome to it: but that
the idea of a collation of the local news
of the State should never have suggested
itself until 1868 is ridiculous. The Mon
roe Advertiser, a weekly published at For
syth, had a compilation of State news as
early as 1867, and the idea was thread
bare, even then.
An Atlanta storekeeper shot at another
because the latter slapped his face and
bumped his head against the wall. And
yet deluded politicians and sensational
newspaper men persist in calling this a
free country. Are there no perquisites
at all ?
Isn’t it about time for old Bishop Ha
ven to roll around and flirt with the Geor

Pat Walsh, of Augusta, has withdrawn
from th£ Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Animals. He went home the
other day and found a kitten in the water
barrel, and now he is seeking revenge.
Marshall vilie correspondent Perry TJome
Journal: Dr. Rawls and Colonel Reese
went hunting Monday evening, and killed
eighteen birds, nearly all partridges.
Among them was a dove different from
anything we ever saw. It was a very lit
tle larger than a canary bird, though per
fectly developed and evidently fully
grown. Its color was not different from
that of the ordinary species, except that
its breast was dappled with beautiful
little spots, and its wings were partly red.
In general appearance it was a perfect
dove, though on the lilliputian order.
Koine Commercial: “We are very glad
to hear through the Associated Press dis
patches that Mr. Estill has purchased the
Savannah Daily Advertiser, and will con
solidate that paper with the Morning
News. This will give Savannah a daily
which any city in the United States
would be proud of. It will be metropoli
tan in the best sense of that term. With
Thompson, the expounder, at the edito
rial helm, assisted by the facetious Harris
and a selected corps of writers and cor
respondents, with unlimited means, a
complete establishment, and a splendid
field for operation, the News has a for
tune of extraordinary brilliancy before it.
Success to you Mr. Estill, the T. J.”

Have you seen anybody with a cream
colored shot-gun and a double-barreled
horse lately ? If so, please communicate
with the noble “Jedge” Archibald and
the patriotic McMurray. They want
two thousand dollars.
Marcellus has arrived at Tallahassee,
and MeLin is now happy.
Dennis has gone to Gainesville. He
denies owning a cream-colored horse.
If a cream-colored man riding a double
barreled horse, and armed with a tall,
full bearded shot-gun can kill one Sena
tor, how many Senators can two men
kill? We are asking the “Jedge.”
Marcellus says it will taste better to
be elected Governor than it does to stand
in Hart’s clammy slippers. We don’t
think it will—to him.
Isn’t it about time for Purman to rise
to the surface ?
Friday Mungo, a colored husband of
Alachua county, was shot and killed by
another negro recently. A Dinah was at
the bottom of the tragedy.
Is the presence of a man on a cream
colored horse in Nassau county, the day
after Dr. Johnson was murdered, any
evidence that the man on the cream
colored horse was the murderer ? If not,
is there even presumptive evidence that
some other man with a cream-colored
horse, a hundred miles away, committed
the crime ? We ask the “Jedge” for in
formation.
The forests in Orange county are full
of partridges.
Why, wo thought J. Willis Menard, the
colored litem,tear , was to have a contri
bution in the Semi-Tropical. It was so
advertised. Come, Harrison, it is too

Mr. J. N. Staley, Clerk of Court of
Jackson county, passed through Talla
hassee on his way home the other day,
and had some pets with him which the
Floridian, thus describes: They were Java
Sparrows, new in these parts, and may
be described as about equal in size to the
canary, with a body of a delicate drab or
dove color, short, sharp red bill, black
head with white jaws, black tail and a
keen red eye, and in form as symmetrical
as can be imagined. Their feathers were
as smooth and slick as grease, and in all
their various movements around the cage
a single feather was never ruffled. Mr.
Staley had a pair of these rare birds, and
we hope he may succeed in raising some
for circulation in the middle counties.
They just beat anything we ever came
across.

Pensacola Gazette: The British ship
Western Empire, Captain Bertie, cleared
from Pensacola on the 11th inst. with
1,700 loads of timber, shipped by Mr.
D. F. Sullivan, when about one hundred
and fifty miles from Pensacola light the
vessel was struck by the late gale in the
gulf and was water-logged. The Captain
cut away the masts to relieve the ship
and he was so confident of saving the
vessel and bringing her back to this port
that he refused to be taken off when
spoken by the City of Liverpool. The
sea was rapidly rising, the ship’s deck
began to break up, the officers and crew
took to the boats. One boat was lost
with seven men, the remainder arrived
here on Friday morning.
Jacksonville Press: Will His Honor,
or some of his allies in the legal profes
sion. inform us by what authority he,
the Judge of the Fourth Judicial Circuit
of Florida, issues warrants for the arrest
of persons charged with a violation of the
penal statues ? And by what authority
or precedent he exercised, in Duval
county, the functions of a Justice of the
Peace in and for Nassau county ? And
by what authority or precedent that by
such a warrant a special Deputy Sheriff
in Duval county, who is a Deputy United
States Marshal, is appointed to* arrest a
person in Alachua county, in another cir
cuit, and then bring him to Jacksonville
and place him in irons and prison to
await the arrival of the Sheriff of Nassau
county, to re-arrest and turn the prisoner
over to the Sheriff of Duval ? And by what
authority cr precedent a Sheriff of Duval
county appoints the said Deputy United
States Marshal, of Duval county, to exe
cute such a warrant in Alachua county,
and in another circuit ? And by what
authority, or precedent, goods and chat
tels of a private citizen of Alachua coun
ty may be seized there by such Duval
Special Deputy Sheriff, and without a
search warrant or any legal process in
rem , authorizing the seizure? Who has
got Harney Richard's dun-colored mare?
What for, and by what legal right ? Is
she detained for the purpose of having
her turned to a light-cream, or only to
drill witnesses ? Do tell us ? Every cit
izen throughout the length and breadth
of this land of freedom is either interested
in the Governor's reward or in true answers
to the above questions.
Captain W. H. Kendrick, who has been
ecturmg on Florida at the North, was in
the city yesterday. He delivered more
than fifty lectures, and he thinks he him
succeeded in giving the large numbers
who heard him a clearer idea of the con
dition of affairs in Georgia and Florida
than they have efer had before.
The Fernandina Observer says: “The
manner in which Georgia has thrown
popular education overboard will cer
tainly bring its just judgment in the
shape of vagrancy, perhaps, or even
worse evils.’ When has Georgia thrown
popular education overboard ? The Ob

Georgia have the same educational ad
vantages as the whites, so far as it is in
the power of the State to confer them.

Estill has purchased the office of the

Thus the Press : We wish you to know,
and to keep in your remembrance, that
Judge R. B. Archibald has distinctly de
clared by his decision that he regards the
testimony of a single negro as of more
value and entitled to greater credit than
the evidence of sixteen white men of high
standing and acknowledged reputation.
Put this little item away carefully in your
memories, preserve it for future use, and
bring it out at the election next year,
when the recollections it evokes will in
spire you to renewed efforts.
Commenting upon the recent outrage
committed by the fellow Archibald, the
Press says : “One of the most remarkable
things about the whole proceeding was
the fact that His Honor went outside of
the evidence adduced and brought in
new, and did now allow the defense to
explain with regard to these new issues,
though he himself admitted that satisfac
tory explanation might be made. We
cannot trust our pen to comment on this
action of Judge Archibald. We will
simply conclude by saying that in our
opinion, and we believe the people will
agree with us in it, this decision on such
evidence, so far as we know, is without
parallel in the history of our country, and
to put it no stronger, proves that Judge
Archibald is incompetent to discharge
properly the duties of the position.”

Perhaps someone of our Florida read
ers can answer these questions from a
correspondent: Can you tell me where
to locate in Florida? I would like the
coast, or as near it as possible. I want
an Episcopal church, railroad communi
cation, a good place for a tannery, and
drug store, where there are not many
negroes. Is Mayport only occupied iu
the summer? I would like it very much.

SAVANNAH MARKET.
WEEKLY REPORT.
OFFICB OF THE MORNING NEWS,)
Savannah, September 2S, 1875. I
General Remarks. —There has been a steady
'but moderate demand the past week for nearly
all linei of merchandise, though in some
branches of trade it has been fairly active, and a
very satisiactory amount of business has been
done, considering the inclemency of the weather.
The dry goods trade show but little change
since our lag) report. Prices are about the same,
and the mark; is reported quiet. Fewer have
visited the citythan was anticipated, but those
who did comein bought quite freely of the lines
of goods usually bought at this season. They
report everything iu the interior as very favor
able to a gooi fall and winter trade.
Groceries and provisions have undergone but
few price changes, though a few unimportant
one* have taken place. The trade has been fairly
active, both through orders and by country mer
chants. A larger number of buyers are expected
in the market the coming week than have visited
it since the optniug of the fall trade, and it is
thought the week’s business will be very good.
The flour martet has shown a more moderate
demand, and prises have drooped a little, though
quotations remiin unchanged. A few styles of
the favorite grades have been firm, and have
been in good denand.
Cotton.—The market for sp = cotton the past
week has generally been dull, and prices have
shown a steady decline, under increased receipts
at the ports, increasing stocks and the general
decline in eontrslliog markets. Notwithstand
ing the decline iu prices, there has been a very
good demand, and buyers have operated freely,
but as a rule refused to pay quoted prices, and in
many instances effected transactions a shade
under. Many holders, however, were firm, and
declined to sell at less than quotations. To-day
the market was weak up to mi (May, but later a
better Inquiry sprang up, and prices became more
steady. The sans tor the week amount to 5,783
bales. We quote:

Crops.—We mentioned las', week that a terri
ble storm had passed over c.-rtain portions of
Texas, Louisiana and Mississippi, and that con
siderable damage was probably done to the cot
ton crop. We are yet unadvised of the extent
of the damage, though it is thought that in some
portions of Texas, and in the Mississippi Valley
the damage has been more extensive than was
anticipated. The past week we hear of heavy
rains through many sections of the cotton coun
try, aud of too n uch cold weather; also of a
slight frost as far south as Vicksburg. The past
three days we have had a con;inuous rain
through this immediate vicinity, though it has
cleared off to-night, with a prospect of good
weather the corniug week.
The receipts of cotton at this tort for the past
week, from all sources, have been 17,218 bales
upland and 51 bales sea island, against 12,197
bales upland avd 82 bales ,for the cor
responding date last year, j
The particulars of the feeipts have been as
follows : Per Central Railroad, 15,090 bales up
land; per Atlantic and Gulf Railroad, 3,214 bales
upland; per c ;rtg, 140 bales upland; per Augusta
steamers, 658 bales upland; per Florida steamers,
51 bales sea island: from Port Royal, 100 bales
upland; Riccboro. 14 bales upland.
The exports for the week have been 11,511 bales
upland and 35 bales sea islanl, moving as fol
lows : To New York, 7.24S biles upland and 35
bales sea island; to Philadelplia, 1,327 bales up
land ;to Boston 955 bales upland; to Baltimore,
1,046 bales upland; to Reval, 835 bales upland.
The stock on hand at the close of the market
yesterday was 15,963 bales upland and 52 bales sea
island, against 11,665 bales upland and 181 bales
sea island for the corresponding date last year.
The following is a resume of the week:

TO those suffering from Piles or
bring “glad tidings.” These diseases can
now bo entirely and effectually cured and all
traces of them removed, in from four to eight
weeks, without using knife, caustic or ligature.
The process is a recent discovery, and is abso
lutely painless. Dr. Galbraith, in two years’ prac
tice, has not found a case which failed to yield at
once to the treatment. We do not ask a dollar
until a cure is effected. Following, we give a few
names of the most reqpntly cured patients, to
whom we are at liberty to refer. Persons suffer
ing from any disease of the rectum are earnestly
requested to write to us. We know we can euro
you, and it will cost you nothing to try.
Write to either or all of the following persons,
who have been cured:
Rev. B. Mills, Rev. O. S. Mansell, Rev. T. C.
Lapham, W. W. Thornton, J. W. Ward, Alexan
