AtraUSTA, Friday Morning, September 10, 1875. CURRENT TOPICS. 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.

[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. INSURANCE ADVERTISEMENTS. INSURANCE. GEO.

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.
