The Mississippian Under the Heel of
the Negro.
Eight years ago the Federal Government
placed the white people cf Mississippi un
d. r the heel of the negro. The white man
there has had no voice or power in his State
or municipal government. He has been
governed by his former slave. He has been
ground to the dust with taxation which
only went to support the ignorant fellow
he used to own and his fast friend, the car
pet-bagger. Brave to rashness, impulsive,
with quick blood flowing in his veins, it is
strange to any one who understands the
Mississippian's true nature to contemplate
him under his yoke. The worst monarchy
on earth, not positively' vulgar, would be
tar preferable.
It is no wonder that he is chafed and
goaded to resentment. Jt is no wonder
that he draws his pistol, as in Jhe case at
Clinton, when a surly buck negro steps up
and tells him he shall not take a drink of
liquor out of his own bottle, and actually
knocks the bottle out of his hand. Nor is
it any wonder that, upon hearing of the
murder of this young man and four others,
the white people tty- to arms and shoot
down forty negroes in retaliation. Those
of them left can bless their stars for ex
treme good luck. Another extreme cause
of irritation is the detail made by the Gov
ernment from BuThEß’s household to
lead the negroes in their work of governing
the Mississippian. YVeailudeto the Gov
ernor, Adalbert Ames, a tricky, unscru
pulous and thoroughly dishonest little fel
low, thrown to the surface by the war, and
fastened upon that people at the request of
his father-in-law, who is perhaps the most
depraved man in the United States. The
presence of this carpet-bagger is a greater
source of irritation than the native negro.
He is thoroughly and most cordially hated
by’ the white race. He runs the govern
ment in the exclusive interest of the negro.
Requisitions are made upon him in every
Northern election for a quantity of bloody
negro shirts to hold up in the faces of fa
natics. He furnished several dozen by
driving the negro to slaughter at Vicks
burg last year, and pending the fall elec
tions he is now called upon to send forward
more. Ames has just enough cunning to
g*‘t his creatures killed, and is altogether
unscrupulous enough to do it.
The sound and fury of a proclamation by
Grant, the beating of drums and the
marching of Federal troops up and down
the State to put down an imaginary war of
races is all for the purpose of making the
shirts look still more bloody, still more
awful. These riots are commenced and
are generally over in an hour, after w hich
the negro takes to the woods or his cabin,
and is not seen again in a week. But the
troops are a necessary appendage to swell
the furore and carry out the plans of
Ames.
The Northern people will not expect the
white man to live under negro domina
tion. It is preposterous. He has neither
the intellectual nor moral capacity to
govern the white man. It was never so in
tended from the formation of the world.
He is no friend of the negro who would
thus attempt to put him in any such po
sition.
The Menagerie of Drunks
We have often read the following—in
deed, have been reading it for twenty years
-and as it is capital truth it will bear re
publication and re-reading by everybody:
The most foolish predicament a man can
get into is to get drunk. In drunkenness a
man shows his strongest side and most ar
dent passions. There are six kinds of
drunkards, and if you go into a city drink
ing house, where a number of men are un
der t he influence of liquor, you will be sure
to find these six different characters, rep
resenting six different animals. The first
is the ape drunk; he leaps and sings and
yells and dancos, making all sorts of grim
aces and cutting up all sorts of “monkey
shines,” to win the applause of tho boys;
but a drunken clown is very silly.
Next wo have the tiger drunk. He breaks
the bottles, chairs, etc., and is full of blood
and thunder. His eyes are red as lire, and
his heart is full of vengeance. After break
ing everything in his reach, he oftentimes
wiuds up with a broken neck. Of this sort
are those who abuse their families.
The third is the hog drunk. He rolls in
the dirt, on the floor, and wallows in the
mud in the gutters. Ho is heavy, lumpish
and soggy, and grunts his acquiescent re
ply when asked to take a drink. He never
misses a drink or pays a cent.
Fourthly, we have the puppy drunk. He
will weep for kindness and w(h)ine his love;
hug you in his arms (and pick your pockets
if he has half a chance) and proclaim how
much lie loves you. He swears you’re the
best fellow iu the world. Don’t you forget
It.
The tilth is owl drunk. He is wise in his
own conceit. No man niuslH differ from
him, for he “will get a head put on him.”—
Generally speaking, when lined by the Re
corder, an oily tongue pleads in a begging
off style, and he sneaks off like a whipped
spaniel.
The last of the show is fox
drunk. He is a crafty sort of a cuss; ready
for any sort ol a trade, in which he is cer
tain to come out best. He is sly as a fox,
sneaking as a wolf, and, in fact, the mean
est drunkard of them all.
The Drouth— Will it Never Rain ?
We have not had a drop of rainfall since
t he latter part of August. Thethermometer
has for the lastfweek danced above a pole
ninety degrees high. The earth’s surface
is as dry as a sectarian sermon. The face
of nature is withered, parched, begrimed
with dust, and the very air we breathe is
impregnated with it. Whilst admitting
that what is is best, and what is not is im
possible, we can’t help wishing it will rain
oon. If it can’t rain, we wish it would at
least turn a little cooler. The heat is in
tense. It is unnatural for the season. In
the Middle States they have frost by this
time, but it now feels like we can never get
It.
It is splendid weather for maturing and
gathering the cotton crop, and a fine time
to cut every other sort of crop square
short. We hardly think anything could
grow under such withering heat and
drouth.
We swelter through the day and catch
cold at night, and read the stale sermon
every morning of old Probs: “for the South
Atlantic States clear weather.”
Death of F. C. Dunning ton.
To the writer the following announce
ment is full of sorrow. Among the few
friends of his youth he was the truest and
the best. Says the Courier-Journal: “Tho
telegraph announces this morning the
death of Mr. Frank C. Dunnington, clerk
of the Supreme Court of Tennessee. Mr.
Dunnington was a native of Kentucky, but
removed to Nashville when quite a young
man, with the press of which city he was
connected for several years. About the
year 1819 or 1850 he went to Columbia,
where he studied law, under Judge DibbA
iiunty, we believe, and, having been ad
mitted to the bar at that plaee, has prac
tised hi 4 profession there ever since,
1 hough a self-made man, Mr. Dunnington
was a gentleman of fine culture, and was
greatly esteemed as well for his scholarly
attainments as for his moral worth. For
one or two terms before the war ho re
presented Maury county in the lower
branch of the Tennessee Legislature. He
leaves a wife—a native of Kentucky—and
several children.”
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
From the Atlanta Constitution: The State
expenses for August were $16,583.26, and
the receipts $27,779.59.
The Lumpkin Independent of Saturday
says that Poindexter Cherry, of Stewart
county, who was shot by W. N. Cair, is still
in a critical condition, though tie was
thought to be somewhat better than he had
been.
Gainesville Southron: Prof. Joseph T.
Derry, of the Augusta College, is at the
Richmond House, en r&ule for the moun
tains and falls of Upper Georgia. He will
return here in a few days, when we hope to
enjoy his presence for a few weeks.
The Savannah News pronounces the story
of the Atlanta Herald, that Gen. Johnston
had accepted command under the Khedive
of Egypt, sensational, if not pure fiction.
We copied ttie aitiele, but though ;at the
timo that it was, like many other things in
that paper, unreliable. If the ediLors of
that newspaper would omit all suc.:i trash
it would be a decided improvement.
The Savannah News states that there are
at present in that city sixty-four groves
of bananas, containing about eight hun
dred trees. * * The same paper an
nounces the recent death of Messrs. G. E.
liyck and E. W. Gifford, and Mrs. C. A.
(.'loud, all well known residents of that
city. * * The State and county tax of
Baldwin county for the present year
amounts to $23 95 on the thousand dollars.
It will take just $25,900 to run the county
till January, 1376.
Macon Telegraph: The old block house on
the east side of the river has been totally
demolished and the logs hauled away, pro
bably to answer for firewood. We regret
very much to sec this ofd landmark oblite
rated. It should have been left standing
until the “tooth of time” had eaten it
wholly away. Old Fort Hawkins, however,
still stands, a monument of those exciting
times when the early settlers contested
with the red men the right to ho and this
laud: and we hope it will not fall a victim
to any and stroyer except time. Let i; stand
as a link to cement us with the past. There
are not many of them around Macon now,
and the few that therd are should remain.
Gainesville Southron: Three months ago
the very name of Lougstreet was loathed,
not only by the press, but the people. Noth
ing seemed to have been too mean and des
picable to be charged ho him. When Lou
isiana was mentioned epithets were heap
ed upon him which were of the most dis
graceful character. A change, however,
seems to have pervaded everything. Al
most daily we see an extract from some
paper—a complimentary notice of General
Lougstreet. The people are at last opening
their eyes to justice—viewing the
man from an impartial standpoint
—remembering him in the “days
which tried men’s soul,” as well as the
darker days which have elapse 1 since the
downfail of the Confederacy. If the peo
ple knew more of Lougstreet the verdict
would be in his favor. To know the man is
to respect him; to be in his company is to
impress you with his power, his dignity,
his manly t earing and noble character. No
man v\ ith his open countenance and honest
face can be a bad man.” It was not the
Longstreet, the Major General of the
Army of Northern Virginia, but the Long
street iu command of the Metropolitan
police and negroes of New Orleans the
anathemas were pronounced against.
Saudersville Herald: While Cordy Harris
was in jail, some of his brother (colored)
prisoners stole his best suit of clothes. He
wanted the “House” to be responsible, b .t
Sheriff Mayo, the excellent Superiutendeni,
couldn’t see it in that light. So Uordy’s
blue coa~, pants, vest, etc., will grace some
other darkey’s back. * 4 He lives in this
countv, and was tilty-two years old on the
‘29th of August. His fifteenth chill was
born on the 2uth ult., and is his tenth boy.
He has thirteen children now living, having
lost two, a girl and a boy. Ho was in
to see us one day last week, on a
matter of busi ess, and is as active now as
most men of thirty-five. He lias been mar
ried but once. May he and his excellent
wife live to see the grand children of their
youngest child. * * A few days
ago at Sun Hill, in this county, Mr.
Echols, a young man, had returned
from hunting and while standing
with the breech of his gun resting upon the
ground and the muzzle up before him, he
struck his foot as is supposed, against the
hammer, discharging the piece, the entire
ioad'striking him on the side of the face
and passing out through the top of his
head, almost blowing off one side of the
face and head. Asa matter of course, death
was instantaneous.
••It’ll Nebber Coine no Mo.”
The following from the pen of Mrs. F. G.
De Fontaine, of Charleston, S. C., will
touch a teuder chord in every Southern
heart:
I’se been watin’ long for de good oi l time
Dat’il neber come no mo’;
When I used to work an’ rock an’ sing
In de little cabin do’.
My Sam was dar wid his fiddle,
Fo’ Sam—he’s gone - done dead!
Dead for de want oh food an’ clothes,
An’ de shelter ober head.
An’ little Mose, well, he’s dead too;
How he used to dance and sing.
While Jim, an’ Fully, an’ all de res’,
Went roun’ and roun’ de ring.
Old Missis—bless her dear oie soul—
Would laff till her sides gib way,
An’ Massa’d stop at my cabin jest
To say: “How’s Old Mammy to-day?”
De boys—l mean Ole Massa’s boys—

Who nussed ’em. eb’ry blessed one,
Clean down to little Mass’ Loo.
Po’ Massa’ Loo! He went to fight.
But he nebber came b ick no mo’;
We heard <iat he fall wid a ball in de areast
In front of de battle roar.
He’d put his arms aroun’ my neck
An’ say: “Mammy, I love you so ”
He didn’t see no harm in dat,
Do his Mammy was bl ;ck an’ po’.
Ole Missis died wid a broken hea-1
When de las’ ob de boys was killed.
An’ Massa bowed his head an’ cried

An’ yere I’ve sot awaitin’ an’ vvatchiu’
For de good time cornin’ no mo’.
An’ I see Ole Missis aeailin’ Mammy
Across from de odder sho’.
THE CONYERS RAPE CASE.
The Other Side of the Story—Another
View of the Sensation—Statement of
Mr. Heard.
[Atlanta Constitution of yesterday.]
Mr. Janies T. Heard, who is charged
with having endeavored to perpetrate
an infamous crime upon two little girls
at Conyers, Monday evening, returned
to this city yesterday.
Jjast evening a representative of the
Constitution called on Hr. Heard it the
storehouse of Hunt, Rankin & Lamar
to obtain for publication his story of
the alleged outrage. Mr. Heard still
exhibited strong marks of the severe
treatment he had received at the Con
yers hotel.—His face was much bruised,
especially the eyes, and he was
evidently suffering much pain.
Mr. Heard received the reporter cour
teously, and expressed gratification
that the opportunity had been afforded
him by the Constitution of making an
explanation. He then proceeded to
give the following statement, which we
publish as nearly literally as is pos
sible :
Mr. Heard’s statement: I reached
Conyers last Monday evening. I went
there on the same business that had
often carried me there before—merely
to sell the goods of my house to. the
Conyers merchants. I put up i.t the
Chamberlain House, the house I usual
ly stop at, aud which is kept by Mrs.
Chamberlain, Mrs. Chamberlain had
two lit tie daughters, Minnie and Mamie,
aged respectively nine and eleven
years. These children I had frequent
ly met on previous visits, had played
with them, and had become fond of
them. They appeared to like me and
were constantly with me while I re
mained at the house. Indeed I th ought
nearly as much of thorn as I did of my
own children. Before tea Monday
evening the children were with me
on the verandah, and were sitting
in my lap playing and talking to me.
Immediately after supper I retired
to my room, which opens upon the
hall. This hall was brijli intly illumin
ated, as was also my room. A uipnber
of gentlemen and ladies were out in the
hall during the evening, constantly
passing aud re-passing ray bedroom
door. Soon after I entered the room,
little Minnie followed me in, and began
playing with me. At times she would
be iu my lap playing aud talking, then
she would jump down and run out into
i the hall, aud then return to mp lap
again. This was repeated several
times. She had been playing with me
and the young men in the hall for
about the space of twenty minutes,
when her mother called to her, and she
went off. After Minnie left Mamie
came into iny room, accompanied by a
little daughter of a Mrs. Hill, about
her own age, with whom she had
been playing in the hall. She also
climbed up into my lap, talking and
playing jvith me. I played with the
child as I had with Minnie, tickling
her, and talking to her. After the ex
piration of about ten minutes Mrs.
Hill’s daughter, who had left the room,
came back and told Minnie that her
mother wanted her. I told her to jump
down and go, and she did so, saying
she would be back after a while. I re
mained alone in the room with the
door open about half an hour, when
Dr. Jones, a druggist of Conyers, called
on me. After talking about half an
hour on general topics, he told me
that Mrs. Chamberlain had requested
him to come down to my room, to see
me and ask me to leave the house. That
she thought I had been trying to take |
advantage of her little daughter. I
assured him upon my honor as a
gentleman that nothing of the kind
had been attempted or dreamed
of, and I insisted upon his going
back to Mrs. Chamberlain and
inviting her down to my room. —
That I would satisfy her beyond doubt
that the whole thing was a ridiculous
fabrication. I also requested her to
bring the little girls with her, so anx
ious was I to demonstrate to her that
all was error. This Dr. Jones at first
positively refused to do, and told me
liu thought I had better leave the
house. I told him I would not leave
under the present circumstances ; that
I wanted the matter thoroughly in
vestigated and Mrs. Chamberlain fully
satisfied.
At last he did go, but returning in a
few moments, said he had seen Mrs.
Chamberlain, and that she would
not see me, and that I had better
leave the house. I stiil declined
to do so and persuaded him to go
back the second time to Mrs.
Chamberlain. He again came back,
said that she would not see me, but
had sent her son, and that I had better
go. I replied, “Well, then, I will wait
tor her son and see him.” After ascer
taining that her son had come, and
was iu his mother’s room, I requested
Dr. Jones to see him and bring him to
my room. Br. Jones went off and re
turned with George Chamberlain, a
young man about 23 or 24 years of
age. Mr. Chamberlain was much ex
cited. After talking quietly with him,
assuring him of my innocence, I asked
him to bring his mother and sisters to
the room, aud I would prove to them
the falsity of the charge. I told him 1
would stt y there until the matter was
investigated and would place myself
under his protection, which he gave me
to understand I should have. He also
said lie would see his mother.
After a short absence he came back
with Dr. Jones, and two or three other
men, whom I took to be policemen. I
asked the policemen to leave the room
aud let Mr. Chamberlain and myself
talk with each other. They did so. 1
got up and shut the door. This was
the first time it had been closed during
the evening. I then discovered that
Mr. Chamberlain was very much ex
cited, aud was armed. I also became
satisfied from Dr. Jones’ movements
that he, too, was armed, and that both
meant mischief. Mr. Chamberlain re
marked that he thought from what
his mother had said, I had told
a d —d lie, and ordered me to
leave the house. I told him I would
do so, and started for the door,
when he caught me by the collar,
jerked me around, aud struck me vio
lently iu the face with what I took to
be a pistol. I caught the hand that
had the weapon, and requested Dr.
Jones not to let him strike me. He
would not interfere, aud kept nodding
his head to Mr. Chamberlain. Cham
berlain gave me another severe blow
in the face with his weapon, almost
knocking me to my knees. I made a
desperate effort to reach the door, and
at last succeeded in getting out. I
gave the alarm for protection and as
sistance. Several men who were iu the
hall rushed up at once and caught Mr.
Chamberlain, who had followed me
out, and was trying to reach me,
asking to be allowed to kill me. The
policemen aud crowd carried me, for
protection, to the station house about
half an hour, and was then taken to
jail, as the place was not regarded as
secure, aud Mr. Chamberlain was mak
ing efforts to break the door down.
Mr. Chamberlain came later to the jail
and tried to force his way to me. The
sheriff was a resolute man, and ordered
him out, and that was the last I saw
of him. Tuesday morning I was noti
fied that a warrant was out against
me, charging me with an infamous
offense. I remained in jail all Tues
day waiting for a preliminary ex
amination. I was taken to the Court
House about ten o’clock Wednesday
morning, before the county judge, Mr.
Davidson, aud a magistrate. Here, by
consent of all parties a hearing was
waived, and I was released by giving a
bond of $4,000 for my appearance be
fore the next term of the superior
court. General. L. J. Gartrell, Judge
Hook and Colonel Terry, of Conyers
were my counsel. The above is a plain
statement of the facts, precisely as
they occurred. In a brief time the
matter will be investigated before a
legal tribunal, and until then I would
ask a suspension of public opinion.
In the City.
The details of this affair were very
generally commented upon in Atlanta
yesterday. No little incredulity exist
ed, and many believed there must be
some mistake in the matter. That 3uch
a thing should be true was deemed a
painful supposition to indulge. All
parties have been waiting for the other
side’s defense; at the same time every
body is in favor of the law meteing out
strict justice in the premises.

Attahed, and owing to reccent improvements in this Evener, the laps when ready for
the card, only varies one quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cost of picking by this
system is only aboutone mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card r<> >m.
j®"There is al- o a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langlev Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mi;is at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall liiver, M anchester

Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. |
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.;
Gentlemen. 1 arve been running your system of Compound Opener Lappera and
Finisher Lappers, witn Eveners, l or m •re th t♦ wo wars na*- ot th ■c< tton Mill of too
Langley Manufacturing Company, and I have found it to work the mo-1 satisfactory of
any opening and picking at range.nent I have ever seen, we hSve not weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the flicker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement is its secur ty against fire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
