“There ivas a regular meeting c if the
Cabinet yesterday. After the business
before the Cabinet was disposed of
the third term qu stion came up for
discussion, Hint topic having been
suggested In ,i reference to tile speech
of Gen. Dix at the Cooper Institute,
New Yoik, on Monday evening lust.
The President embraced this oppor
tunity to say that lie regarded the ag
itation of this question as due solely
to the newspapers, who had started ii
for the purpose of creating a sensation
and directing attention to themselves.
As for his making any statement on
the subject he had never thought of
such ft thing, nor had he ever talked
on the subject with any one. He did
not think it would comport with his
dignity as President of the Vnited
States to make cluternent on I his
question in response to the clamors
oi the new wpapers.
“ These oxpr--.--.sh ms of the President
were heartily indorsed by the mem
tiers of the < 'abiuet, who attribute
tie alt-mpls of certain newspapers lo
foice iiny ipinion from him regarding
the subject to a desire to make an ex
hibition of their power. '
Thanksgiving Proclamation.
President (frunt has issued the fol
lowing proclamation setting apart
Thursday, the 2lith inst., as a day
of national rest and thanksgiving:
'Washington. Out. 20. - Bv tuk Pisexi
dext or the United States of Amer
ica, a Proclamation.
We are reminded, by the changing
seasons, that it is time to pause in
our daily vocation, and offer thanks
to Almighty (lod for the mercies and
abundance oi the year, which is
drawing to a close. The blessings
of free government continue to be
vouchsafed to u.s; the earth has res
ponded to tile labor of the husband
men; tiie. land has b"cu free from pes
tilence. ami internal peace is being
maintained with other powers, it is a
fitting .period that we should cease
from our accustomed pursuits, and
from the turmoil of our daily lives,
and unite in thankfulness for the
blessings of the past in the cultiva
tion of friendly feelings toward each
other. I, lTvses IS. Grant, President
of thei United (States,do recommend to
all citizens to assemble in their res
pective places of worship <m Thurs
day, the 2(lt,h day of November next,
to express their thanks for the mercy
and favor of Almighty God, and lay
ing aside all political contentions, and
peculiar occupations, to observe such
as a day of rest, thanksgiving and
praise.
In witness whereof I have hereunto
set my hand, and caused the seal of
the United States to bo affixed.
Done at the Pity of Washington,
this, the 21Hh day of October in
the year 187-1, and of the Indepen
dence of the United Start a the DDtli.
U. S. Grant.
The above proclamation is placed
before our renders not merely as a
matter of information lmt that, de
parting from the. course which they
have unfortunately pursued for sever
al years past they may be induced to
observe it. For some reasons our lu
rid districts particularly and our citi
zens generally liava not observed
similar proclamations heretofore is
suing from the President; there
is, however, no sufficient rea
son for this neglect. Although we
have no part nor lot in the party in
power, and although many of our
rights have been curtailed and some
ofjllie dearest of them wrested from us.
by the party hi power, we arc si ill a re
ligious poeple, and there is much
to be (thankful to Almighty God for.
It i* becoming to us, m view of the
blessings still enjoyed, not one of
which but comes from a merciful and
ever thoughtful Benefactor, to render
humble and universal thanks to Him
who rules in the armies of Heaven and
among the Inhabitalits of earth-

ANu rmat RIOT.
[Special to tlie Ka.-u.miia Horning 7! ]
Kitaela, Ai,a., November 3. —There
was a very lively littie riot here to
day. It began about noon, and for a
time was quite sanguinary.
Mix whites were wounded, one of
them, William Koitli, mortally. Three
negroes were, killed outright, and. as
far as heard from seventy-four were
wounded ten or liftcen of the number
mortally. Since the fight five have
died and three or four more will die
during the uiglit.
The difficulty grew out of the abuse
of a negro who had voted the Demo
cratic ticket, by several Radical ne
groes, chief among whom was one
very bad negro named Miles Long.
Several white gentlemen rushed up
when they saw the abuse being heap
ed upon the Democratic negro, and
when he had received several blows
they rushed in and ordered the mob
to desist. Miles Long offered to
draw a pistol upon one of the whites,
when he was told not to draw a wea
pon there or he would be killed.
With an oath against the whites, and
daring them to come on, he drew out
his pislol and tired. In an instant u
gfneral lire from both whites and
blacks commenced, which the latter
stood a second or two, and then gave
wav in one of the wildest stampedes
ever witnessed on our streets. There
were probably five hundred shots
fired by both sides, a majority of
them being fired by the whites. The
negroes came in from the country
armed with pistols, heavy clubs,
wheel spokes, etc., and were very ag
gressive upon those of their own col
or who voted the Democratic ticket,
for a few seconds. After the firing
ceased the negroes began to mass for
a renewal of the fight, but seeing
that tile whites were arming to receive
them, they again scattered and quiet
was soon restored.
Later.—The number of wounded
frer.ck fully one hundred.

t;. The Carroltou county Timex has
the following:
On the Columbus road seven miles
from Bowden and four miles east of the
Ai. boa i ic, in the vi in t of
Black Jack mountain, stands a plain,
one room frame building, which,
for some time past, has been occupied
bv Henry ji. Smith as a country store.
Within this building was perpetrated
on Thursday last., a deed of blood,
which, in the light of the circumstan
ces, will stand forth prominently on
the criminal records of the county.
Early on the morning of that day,
one Doe. .Stewart, in passing by the
store, was attracted by the groans of
someone inside. Inquiring w hat was
the matter, and receiving no answer,
he became alarmed and immediately
: o Tiled Smith’s brother of the circum
stance. They proceeded to the store
and finding the door securely fasten
ed, effected an entrance by prizing
open a window shutter, w hen a sight
met their gaze which was calculated
to make the stoutest heart tremble.
Right before them, on a bed, ghastly
vissaged and covered with gore, lay
Mr. Smith in what they supposed to
be the last nggonies of death; his
right ear had been cleft in twain, a
deep indentation marked liis skull,
ami totally unconscious, the life blood
was oozing from Id.- mouth and nos
trils. The floor and Avails were be
spattered and the lied saturated w ith
Die crimson dye, and on the floor be
side the bed lay and axe —the instru
ment with which the blow had been
inflicted. When the men had recov
ered in a measure from their amaze
ment, they sent a messenger for Dr.
L. 3. Aderhoid, of Bowden, aroused
the whole settlement, and took imme
diate steps to discover the perpetra
tor of the deed. General suspicion
fell upon a youth named Elijah Yar
brough, who lmil been hanging around
the neighborhood for a few days pre
vious, ill the company of and, (reputable
characters, and whoso actions had ex
cited distrust. Men wore, therefore,
sent out in search of Yarbrough, and
by menus of hob-nailed shoes which
i h(a wore they tracked him to Lamar.
Alabama, a distarn o of twelve miles,
where he was arrested in the house of
liii grand-mother, on tins same morn
ing. He made no resistance, but re
turned placably wit-li his captors to
Laurel Hi!'. A preliminary
trial was held defore a justice of the
pome on Friday, when Yarbrough be
ing sworn, made in snbst. nee the fol
low mg confession of the deed: He
stated that lie had been intimate with
a woman named Indiana Mitchel,
who lived about four miles from
Smith's on the State Line; that he
was at her house on the Sunday pre
vious, when she persuaded him by
promise:-','o commit the deed; that she
told him she was considerably in debt
to Smith, and did not know how she
would be able to pay. him; that she
wanted him hurt, but not, killed, and
that if lie (Yarbrough) would con
trive to stay all night with Smith, and
strike him on the head whim he was
asleep, with an axe which could be
found beneath the lied, and would
get her from the store a calico dress,
a pair of shoes and some tobacco, slie
would in return go over to Alabama
and live with him. That in further
ance of the plot, Yarbrough and the
woman went to Smith’s on Sunday
night, but for some reason, did not
accomplish their object; on Wednes
day night, however, they it turned,to
gether with Indiana’s two sisters, and
leaving them in the vicinity. Yar
brough we nt alone to the store. Smil h
was there, and invited him to stay all
night, saying that he felt lonely; the
invitation was readily accepted, and
they went to bed. Just before day
Smith arose, struck n light, and re
turned to bed and to sleep; about half
an hour afterward Yarbrough got up
dressed himself, and taking up the
axe, struck Smith two blows in rapid
succession with ils poll upon the side
of the head, knocking him insensible,
lie then took Smith's silver watch, a
new hat, eight yards of calico, and
some tobacco, repaired to the place
wher<* the women were in waiting,
gave the dress and tobacco to Indiana
and hid the watch under a log near
by. Ho was then advised to leave the
State, which he did; but before be
left he states the w omen went into the
store themselves and pilfered the
shelves of various articles, among oth
er things some dishes. They then
locked the door, secreted the key and
went home, and he. net out for his
grandmother's. He denied he had

A Wedding Postponed Under
Novel CmiitisLiiie.es.
The Bay City (Michigan) i'ribnm
tells the following Stqay: “in a fami
ly at Arenac {rent propi rations for
the marriage oi a daughter have been
going on. Tilt happy day was fixed
tile wedding dress and indispensable
orungee blossoms were secured, the
various other necessaries for such an
occasion had liven provided, and all
was joyful, w hei, on the day previous
to that set for tie consuiuation of tin
two individuals an Idian who lived
with his tribifa few miles distant,
knocked at tilt dour of the dwelling
referred to ant asked if the family
had lost a dress Of course the re was
only one dress thought of at that time
ami with two steps and a bound the
damsel wlio opened the door llew up
stairs to 111 r i in where the wedding
garments had been left. The door
was opened, and 10, and behold ! the
loom was bare. Upon returning to
the Italian it was then ascertained
that a squaw of his tribe- had been
wearing an elegant dress and other
finery, ami knowing that she hail not
come by it rightfully, the Indian had
come to town to ascertain if any one
had lost any articles. He went to
the various houses, but no one had
missed anything; and at the dwelling
from which the articles were taken
their abscond- had not even been no
ticed. The room in which the gar
ments were left was a spare bedroom
and, having no occasion to use it, no
member of the family had entered it
for two days. The bed was found in
a condition which evidenced that some
one had slept in it, and it was subse
quently ascertained that the squaw
who had stolenglio articles had en
tered the house unnoticed, slept in the
bed one night, and the next morning
had arisen, and, donning the outfit,
left, for home. On licr way thither
she passed through the woods, soiling
and t.airing the dress very badly. The
loss of the wedding outfit necessitated
a postponement of the marriage until
another dress could bo procured. ’
Tin; 'Wilkinson County Appeal tells
the following on Smith—Tom not,
John:
Went to the Fair. —Air. T. D.
Smith, the polite and popular agent
of the Central railroad at this place,
was the only one of our citizens who
visited Atlanta during the late fair,
and lie consequently tells some pretty
tough stories without the least fear
of contradiction. Tom fared poorly,
lodged badly, and was bitten by the
fierce Atlanta mosquito, all of which
ho tells his friends in as brief a man
ner as Mark Anthony could have done.
He says, in speaking of his lodging,
that he covered his face with a quilt
to prevent, the mosquitoes from biting
him, and that they flew under the bed
and bit him through the mattrass.
The fact is Tom is decidedly a bru
nette, and the agitation of the Civil
rights bill at that.particulnr time was
against him in procuring first class
lodging. He has a white heart, but
decidedly a-jlark skin, w hich was very
ineonvcumuf, at that time.
