New Orleans, Oct. 7.—Lieut. Lee, of theFrced
mens’ Bureau, who was sent by Major Hutchings
in charge of the Bureau here, to investigate the
troubles in Opelousas, reported this morning.
The immediate cause of the outbreak was a per
sonal difficulty between the editor of the St. Lan
dry Progress, a Republican paper, and three citi
zens, growing out of offensive articles in the Re
publican paper. The editor, named Brcntly, who
was also a school-teacher, was caned. The re
port was immediately circulated among the ne
groes that Brently was killed, and couriers des
patched to arouse the negroes on the plantations,
and in an incredibly short time they were flocking,
fully armed, to Opelousas, apparently being fully
organized and prepared for such an occasion. Sev
eral bodies of negroes were met and dispersed by
the efforts of sensible, moderate men, both ne
groes and whites, acquainting them with the facts
regarding Brently. One body, however, of 25 or
30, led by a negro who called himself Captain,
refused to disperse when ordered. A light ensued
in which two negroes were killed and four or live
wounded, and five or six whites wounded, two very
severely, and a number of horses belonging to the
whites were killed. The negro calling himself
Captain was one of the killed. Right of the party
were captured and lodged in jail, and the balance
dispersed. The orders given by the civil authori
ties disarming the negroes were executed with
some difficulty but effectually, and the amis be
longing to the negroes are now in the hands of the
authorities of Opelousas, and the parish is perfect
ly quiet. During the excitement the material of
.the St. Landry Progress was jittered and a por
tion' destroyed. One white fnan was ambushed
while riding along the road alone and riddled with
balls by three negroes, the latter of whom were,
all caught and killed. Another white planter was
reported shot while sitting in his house. The
troubles existed only in the parish of St. I.andry
in a radius of twenty miles from Opelousas. The
adjoining parishes are perfectly quiet. Lieut Lee
reports that he could learn of but, two whites who
were killed and eight or ten wounded, and live ne
groes killed and fifteen or twenty wounded, but
expresses the opinion that the number of casual
ties will exceed these, as the negroes in some in
stances resisted disarming and had to be overpow
ered. No white Radical suffered except Brently,
and he only in the loss of printing material and
the caning received. Lieut. Lee reports quiet re
stored and everybody pursuing their ordinary oc
cupation. No further trouble is apprehended, as
the white inhabitants of tlie parish outnumber the
blacks. Armed mounted patrols, however, were
still being kept up.

developes no new facts regarding the Camilla riot.
The report concludes :
“From what I could learn, the colored people
ami whites were peaceably disposed towards each

“ In my investigation of this matter, 1 was ma
terially assisted by Maj. Howard, and, upon my ar
rival at Camilla, the citizens of that place appeared
desirous that the occurrences of the 19th instant
should he inves(ligated. Up to the date of my visit

a resolution was offered requiring tlie Governor to
offer a reward of live thousand dollars for each
man concerned in the murder. The Democratic

stating that there was not a word of truth in the

IMPORTANT NOTICE-
Rooms Democratic 1
Executive Committee,
Atlanta, Ga., October 8, 1888. )
To the Democratic Party of Georgia :
It is important, in tlie approaching election for
Electors of President and Vice President of the
United States, to exclude illegal votes from the
ballot box. For tlie purpose of guarding as effect
ually as possible against such votes, the Democrat
ic Clubs in the several counties in this State are
requested to appoint two or more challengers for
each precinct and place of voting.
It is desired that challengers be appointed who
know personally the voters residing in the vicinity
of the precincts to which they may pc assigned for
duty, and that all strangers and persons not known
to be entitled to vote, In; challenged upon offering
to vote, and required to take the oaths prescribed
by the Constitution and election laws. It is not
intended or expected that captious challenges
should lie made—challenge* should be made only
in cases of doubt, or when it is well known that
the persons offering to vote are not entitled.
It is earnestly requested that no freedman Who
is entitled to the right of suffrage be obstructed in
the exercise of that right.
According to the election laws of this State tin
managers of the election must be justices of tin
peace, and freeholders. From the necessity of the
ease the management of the election will be in tlie
hands of white men But one day is allowed for
the election, and in many of the counties the num
ber of voters will be largely inerdhsed over previous
elections, so much so as to give room for doubts
whether all will have un opportunity to vote, and
Uit-may cause the polls to be crowded to the ex
elusion of some of the voters. Under such circum
stances there may be danger of conflicts between
the two races, and riots may lie the consequence.
To avoid collisions and riots, and in order that the
election may be conducted fairly, the managers are
especially requested to make their arrangements,
so that ail who are entitled to vote steal 1 have un
opportunity of voting without being crowded or
jostled from Uie poll». This will b* necessary in
order to preserve tlie public peace. Let all have
an opportunity to vote without hindrance or ob
struction, who possess the requisite-qualifications.
In giving these instructions, the Central Execu
tive Committe-e do not assume to dictate to the
managers of the election, but make these sugges
tioos, that the public fa-ace may be preserved and
riots avoided. E. G. Cabaniss,

OBITUARY.
Death is the KWof Terrors 1 These arc wools,
the mighty, the solemn import of
which we veUionateor never, realize, until a vic
tim from our owpfAioasehold Is claimed.
It is In y«*jpTTUth a terrible tiling for the
young, fall of hope, full of health, full of vigor, to
p«A suddenly from life's busy seeue.
It is yet more terrible for the dissolute, the
proud, rebellious, violator of Divine law, checked
in his reckless career, to be hurled Irorn time into
eternity; to go with sin-stained soul Into tlie
presence of an offended Avenger!
But wnen one who has lived his appointed
time; has lived usefully ; has performed every
duty to God and naan ; lias performed it well;
passes from the theatre of Ufa to his recompense
—a blissful immortality—though the external
evidences of death, the shrinking features, the
deep-drawn sigh, the siiortening breath, the last
gasp, may wring our souls with anguish, yet
Death wears not Dial forbidding aspect we oth
erwise assign it.
Thus it was with tlie subject whose demise we
chronicle, Mrs. Nancy Faulk, relict of Mark
Faulk, which occurred at the residence of her
son, in Twiggs county, Beptember 21s,tult., In tlie
sixty-sixtii year of her age.
She lias passed away ; how quietly ! how uois
lessly ! As she lived, so she died, meekly, a
Christian. Too pure for earth, she was ripe for
the grave ; suited to Heaven, she has gone to her
reward. Her life was spent, not in tlie bustling
throng of the giddy, the gay, but amid the duties
of nome and tne domestic circle ; In tliat sphere
in which »l»e delighted to move, and in which
she moved so well. With no ambition to shine,
the glitter and the tinsel of fashion never caught
her admiration ; bul with earnest desire to meet
the requirements and duties of tier station and
family, she mildly, but firmly and resolutely,
met and accomplished them all.
In every relation of life she was the same calm,
self-possessed being. Hhe was apparently timid ;
it was in appearance only, and it was tlie result
either of great prudence, or great sympathy and
deep anxiety for the wellare of others.
She was by nature reserved, and most happy
when most retired.
That she was gifted with much good Judgment
and tact, is proved by the fact that, left a widow
with a large family, tier own, as well as step
children, sue managed to raise them successfully
to mahood and womanhood,aud to gain aud pre
serve to her death the ass ection of them all.
It seemed peculiarly her fortune to be called on
to raise children, of whom she was the principal
agent in the raising ol no less than six families.
What an ordeal I Who can appreciate tue per
plexing cares, the long nights of anxious watch
fulness, to which she was subjected In a situation
so trying ? Vet who ever knew her Impatient or
ill-humored? Who ever knew her to resort to
sterner restraint than rebuke? Her nature so
kind, revolted not at cruelty only, but at harsh
ness even. Who will say that sii« ’*-*
in tier sill-sacrificing care, in her meek, Chris
tian-like endurance of the toll and anxieties, of
the dull, wearing routine of motherly duties lor
so many years devolved upon her, than II she had
exhibited those traits of character and performed
those deeds that cause mankind to stare and
wonder, aud that mark an era in the world's
history ?
To her sex, how perfect Is her example! In
health, how dllligenl, how exact and prompt, in
the execution of every domestic arrangement!
yet without hurry or confusion. In sickness,
how uncomplaining ! Inevery trial her reliance
was in Heaven, her trust in God. Her piety was
not noisy or spasmodic, but habitual, unobtru
sive, sincere. Devotion with her was not a disa
greeable task, but a pleasant duty. Earth was
not her home—she was building a mansion in
the skies, and to that mansion she has gone !
While she was herself preparing her own burial
apparel with that same foresight und nicety that
marked her every act, what glorious visions she
may have had t what foretaste of that Happy
I.aud! we cannot tall.
But this we kuow : Death came not unlooked
for or unwelcome.
«Be ye also ready,” she had obeyed. During
forty years she had been a member of the Metho
dist Church
With unfaltering confidence she entered tlie
Bark valley, she crossed the cold river, but not
unattended ; troops of wliite-robed angels escort
ed her to Immanuel’s Gates—her home., her
“ long-sought home.”
Friends, weep not; removed In youth and
beauty, with Heaven’s angelic Hosts, she Is hap
py now and forever ! P. It.

Weekly Review of the Macon Market
Monday Evening, Oct 12,18f>8.
The week ending to-day and now under review,
has been a busy one in all departments of trade.
The aggragate sales of Western Produce is as
large as the corresponding week of last year, and
much greater than any previous one dnifng the
season. We are more fully into our fall trade, and
our merchants are as busy as they well cW expect
G be. Tlie demand for Fancy and Family Groce
ries lias not been better since the war.
Receipts of Grain have been light, am, that of
Bacon heavy. Receipts of Cotton amount to 2,681
bales.
Our general market would have shown still more
life and activity had it not Ih:cu for the depression
in Cotton. It lias been on tlie decline every day
since tlie close of our last report until yesterday
and Saturday, when it looked up again.
Tlie general condition of trade in tlie city is very
healthy indeed. It is reduced to that systematic
calculation by which men can form a basis of ope
rations, which lias not lieon the case at any time
for three or four years. Not now susceptible of
those extraordinary fluctuations, we can tlie more
reudily toll what and when to buy and when to sell

TESTIMONIALS.
Ujjnton, Georgia, 18*8.
T. C. NrsnKT, Esq.—l can safely say your Press is all, and perhaps more, than you claim it to be.
It is the cheapest, easiest, and most convenient packing apparatus I have seen. I have seen two
hands pack a bale of Cotton that we supposed to weigh five hundred pounds.
HENRY J. MARSHALL.
Macon, Gkokgia, lSgs.
T. O. Ni shut. Esq.—l am well phased with your Press. I have packed with six hands a tele
ot ton weighing six hundred and forty pounds iu thirty raiuutes. R. F. WOOLFOLK
