BY A GEOiIGIA MAX WHO WENT TO TEXAS. I
There, with a dusty, tearful eye,
I saw a thousand creeks go dry—.
(A whopping lie, perhaps you think),
Without a single drop to drink
For nmi or beast, through all her wilds
Still going “west” for countless miles.
I swept across her whole domain.
And still I found it was the same—
decline in all I saw
Across the plains of Arkaiasaw —-
The summers dry, the winters wet,
The people poor and all in debt.
I must confess the lands are good
That lie above the rolling tlood ;
Rut in the swamps, and on the hills,
You’ll have the fever and the c hills
And that I saw must be the fate
Of every county in the State.
“Tbs far off bills arc always green.”
Rut when I found them—changed the scene
it v.-.n; the swamps that showed the fjre.cn —
Where the iutermittens swell the spl*. u ;

Ot livtu-iut on with ague-cake.

•Hto Bell, near Sarasota Bay. passed up ;
the J., 1\ kM. Railroad oil Monday 1
night. The party consisted of some
twenty men from Washington county,
Georgia, and a reporter of the New j
\ork lla raid. They were all bound tn
sceiTcy and'therefore it was ioipossi
ble to elicit any positive information j
from them. A Press reporter inter-
viewed them and learned the facts np
•"n which they based their search- Ac
cordin'; to their representation. 1 Jel 1
and his associates captured a Spanish
vessel rich in treasure, 'which they hid
on an island in Sarasota Bay. There
were some twenty pirates interested in
tne treasure. Subsequently Bell, un
der a proclamutcpu from ,t ( !io Presi
dent, carried ’ his . schooner to Wil
mington, and went ashore to commu
nicate with the gpvermeiit. While he
was ashore, the crew rebelled, hoisted
anchor and set ssils’for Sarasota Bay, :
intending to find and take possession
of the treasure. They were wrecked j
off the cost of Florida and the whole i
crew perished, leaving Bell the only
living person who knew the locality of j
the treasury. He afterwards
made a visit to the island, and carried j
1 hence one box of the plunder. Subse
quently he paid a second visit, but find
ing lie was watched, and being very ap- ]
preheusive of danger, he did not recov
er the valuables. In these expeditions |
he carried a friend. Bell finally died I
rit St. Marks, leaving his friend the |
only possessor of the secret. This j
man upon his death bed revealed the
secret, and turned the maps and notes j
locating the spot where the tresnre |
was buried, which he lmd received I
from Bell, over to a member of this
party. This gentleman sold shares in
ihe enterprise to others, so, that in
this effort tb Tecover the supposed
tresnre. there were no less than twen
ty engaged. The only itoin wc could
obtain respecting the issuo of the ven
ture, was the declaration of one of the
party that they were not without some
success. The reporter of the Herald
states that the obligation to secrecy
would soon lie removed, when every
tniug would be revealed.
It is said that 15,000,000 boxes of

In the original treaty between
! Spain n 11*1 tho United States, it ’.vas
agreed that the lino between tlie prov
ince of Florida and tho possessions of
' the United States—or the State of
Georgia—should he straight line, run
from the ,“birth-place of the St. Ma
ry’s river,” or in other words, from
its head waters, to the junction of tho
Flint and the Chattahoochee rivers.
Elliott was sent at the head of a
party to establish tho line. He went
up the St. Mary’s within a few miles
of the Okefeudkee swamp, and as the
Indians were hostile at that time,
was afraid to go further in search of
•the bead of the river,- and concluded
that it rose in tiles Okefenokeo, and
consequently selected an eligible point
near the Swamp, and threw up what
is now known ae “Elliott's mound.”
i From this point the lino was snbse
| quently run by Watson, and is known
to-day as tho Watson line. This for
a number of years, was recognized as
j the line. Another, the McNeil line,
j was also afterwards run, and just
I south of Valdosta the latter is six
j hundred yards north of the Watson
line. The Georgia surveyor run off
what was originally Irwin county iu
| to 41)0 acre lots, and the surveyor ran
down to the Florida line. The then
territory of Florida was also survey- ,
'‘ed off into sections or lots, and the
Watson line was recognized by them.
The original settlers of the countv
bought from the State of Georgia
i these lands, running to the Watson
| line, arid have to-day the State’s:
I parchment, or plot and grant, to tho
j property.
j Subsequently, from some cause;:,
I unknown to ns now, a dispute arose •
! between the two States as the proper
j line—Georgia claiming Watson, and
(Florida the McNeil line. Orr, of
Georgia, and Whitner, of Florida,
were appointed by the respective!
Legislatures of the two States to run
a line across, according to the origi
nal treaty, Florida Legislature pass
ing a resolution to agree to tho line,!
provided it did not run below tho Wat-.
son line, both States agreeing to se
cure the owners of the land along the
line in their rights. The line was run,
Whitner, we are told by parties along
the line, doing the field work, and Orr, (
of Georgia, the hunting for the party.
J The-line missed the objective point
I something to, or about a half a mile
north—throwing a long strip of Geor
-1 gia -a part, that Florida did not claim
! —below the Vine. The Georgs Leg
isle tn re, thinking it a small matter,
i agreed to the line—thus giving away
more than was claimed.
Subsequent to this, Congress pass
ed an act, donating to the struggling
; Georgia ind Pensacola Railroad, ev
ery odd lot or section of government
land within fifteen miles of the road.
' With this was claimed some of this
land above tho Watson lino whic h
! Georgia hud sold to her citizens. The
railroad sold thebe lands and now
there is a contention as to the owiier
! ship. Wo know of several parties
; who have tho wax and seal of Gcor- ,
i gia with their claim of deeds, and otli- \
er parties are claiming the identical
land with what is known in Florida
as a railroad title.
i Now what is to he done in the mat
| ter ? Is Georgia thus to allow a part
j of her territory, and a part of her eii
! izous taken away, and seo them lose
their land ?
.Settling this boundary question in j
! this manner was a disgraceful surren
der of legal rights. If wan done in a j
j hurry—was considered a small mat
ter, u(.t now her former citizens, ma
' nv of whom were citizens by birth and j
by purchase, and choice, have been
i cut off, ask, the State of their unwill- j
ing adoption is allowing them to suf

! This question should here-opened

J ought to be taken by :he State to ie

: Orleans on Wedcusday, resulting in

Mrs. Marie L. Vincent and Mrs. J. B.

jon a laundry as a means of making a

HEIISEI.F LOOKINO OVISII THE
CA UD-PLAVEIis' SHOPLDEHB.
Louis Lange, an industrious barber,
while at a picnic in tho suburbs of
Williamsburgh, five years ago, met
Miss Annie Hortr.man of Hudson
j City, and, after two weeks’ courtship,
married her in the fall of 1871. After
j tho ceremony they discovered that
j they were altogether unsuited to each
other, and in a rage ho ouo morning
started for Chicago, where he re
mained till a few weeks ago. Then
he returned hoping to effect a recon
ciliation with his wife.
Mrs. Lange, however, had, after
two years of single life, accepted the
! attentions of Claus Doseher, who at
' her previous marriage acted ns Lange’s
groomsman, and in 1874, they were
married, she not,then knowing wheth-J
er Lange was dead or alive.
On Sunday afternoon Lange and a
friend went to 154 Johnson Avenue, j
aud found Mrs. Lauge-Dosclier. She j
cordially invited Mr. Feist (the friend)
! in, and then seeing Mr. Lange, with
out a change of countenance extended j
her hand and exclaimed, “Why Louis j
1 Lange, walk right in ; you are wcl-'
come, and bringing forward a chair
I invited him to be seated.” Before he :
! could sit down, however, Henry Hurts-!
man, tho woman’s brother, accused
Lange of being a scoundrel in return
ing to bring misery on a woman lie !
had deserted. lioi tsman npproaelied
and flic two clinched. The woman
and Feist separated them. It was
' then agreed that Lange and Feist
should withdraw for an hour, during
which time Ilortsmnn was to find
I Doseher, bring him home and the
two husbands were to settle the trou
ble. In an Lour the congress met.
Lange and Doseher after looking at
one another for a moment shook
hands. ‘
Feist, then, on behalf of Langs, pro
posed to open the subject,, but Dos
eher objected, and said if Lange would
retire with him into an adjoining
room, they would talk the matter
over. Mrs. Lauge-Dosclier had mean
while produced a measure of beer.
The conference lasted twenty minutes,
high words occurring twice. The
men returned smiling, mid Lange
said, “Well, the thing is settled. We
are going into the saloon and play a
game of euchre to see which is to have
her.” The woman, though she did
not seem to like it, acquiesced, but ac
companied Doseher.
The players faced each other at the .
table. The woman sat at the head,
while Feist sat in the rear of Lange,
as Hortsman did behind Doseher.
With the cards tho Landlord brought,
a round of beer, which was drank,
ami the men cut for tho deni, Lange
winning aud scoring one point. Dos
eher then handled the cards, and in
play made a march. Lange in his I
next deni was uot so successful, being ■
euchred with three good trumps in
his hand. Doseher then scored an- j
other point, making the game stand
live points in his favor to one point
for Lange.
Doseher Best forfeited liia inning |
on account of n- [uni passing ,
over the curds Lange was enabled t<>■
score one on bis own deal and two on
Dosehor’s next deal. By two bucees
i sive euchres Doseher then scored four !
points, making nine points of the ten
Übuessary to win. Tho woman, worked
up to a great state of excitement,
1 moved to the side of Doseher, and
resting her arm on his shoulder,
watched him anxiously as ho distrib-.
"ted thtfcnrds for the iie,\t inning, on I
which Lange won one point. On hire
own deal, which followed, he made a :
march, and one point.in each of the
two following deals, so that on the
thirteenth deal, one having been for
feited, the score stood nine points ■
cash. > ..
Doseher was decidedly nervous
when he took up the cards, and he
called for a schooner of beer, which
he drank with feverish haste, and
then, after the cards had been cut,
dealt them slowly. lie gave Lange
the knave (right bower), queen, and
nine spot of clubs, and the knave and
ten spot of hearts; to himself the nee
and king of clubs, the knave of spades
(left bower), the king and queen of
hearts, turning up as trumps the ten
of clubs. Lange ordered him up, and
led with the knave of hearts. Dos
clier tool; tins with his king, amt
threw out his ace of trumps, which
which Lange of course covered with
his right bower, leading his ten spot,
of hearts. Doseher having discarded
his queen, took the trick with the ten
spot of trumps and led out his king,
to which Lange’s nine spot was a
speedy captive, and the left bower
being then show n Lange leaped from
his chair and charged that Doseher
had stocked the cards. A quarrel
seemed imminent, but the sight of
another round of beer induced him
to sit down, and while quaffing it he
said, “I’ll take that all hack; if she’s
worth gambling for she ain’t worth
ligb ing for, so Doseher I wish you
■joy of her,”
At midnight they separated in the j
best of temper toward each other, j
Lange swearing that he would not put j
a straw in iLmr y>uj. —A’. 1. Sun.'

[ fbrrefipoii.\euco of the Davenport (Iowa)
Democrat.]
Atlanva, Ga., Jan. 9, 187(1
Georgia though old in years, is
when properly considered, almost a
new State—in her swaddling clothes
compared with will what sho will he
in 15 or 20 years, nod with what she
would have been had not the w ar dis
troyed her established system of la
bor. It no doubt greatly chocked her
general development for the time be
ing, but in time more marked and sat
isfactory results all feel are certain to
follow, 1 say all, and, that includes
the old slave owners. While they
thonglit the freeing of their slaves
was a terrible calamity, lliey are rc
cancHtd to the natural fate of the war
aud concede that the future of Geor
gia is as bright as tho sun at noon
day. It is impossible for you, or for
a northern farmer to appreciate, or
understand the disorganized condi
tion of the labor of the South for
years after peace was declared. The
former slaves soon passed under the 1
control of bad men. a class, made up
of corrupt, broken down, Northern
i politicians, tho scum of the South, and
uot a smallnpiota of Southerners who !
had not the courage, and manhood to
( assist their people in their struggle
| for what the masses 1 rlithfully believ
ed was just and righteous. The brave
lighting men of the South ignored
those who talked, or who would not
'go into the ranks. Asa consequence I
! many of these during the first years
‘ of reconstruction openly gave their
' influence to the administration, not
I for good, but because of the picklings
in sight. However, I must for fear
| <>f giving you a wrong impression add
there were some of tin very best men
j of the south in Georgia who gave the
weight af their influence ill the same !
direction, hoping for liberal magna
nimity from those who were the rep
! resentatives of the winning side.
With this explanation I say that the
administration party of the South was
largely composed of the former slaves
—newly made citizens, without any
knowledge of political economy, and
ever ready to believe and do all any
government officer or designing white j
friend fold them to do. This with
-the fact that tho bravo spirits, the
master spirits of the southern army, 1
even after repeated assurances that
they had given up fighting, and were
ready, and would support loyally the’
United States Government, were not
only entirely ignored, but looked up
on with fear and contempt. I saw it
all, ns you know I came south as the
war closed. I could riot understand
—was not for a long time willing to !
believe, that my Northern army
friends were wanting in liberality, iu
magnanimity, until oft repeated in
sults to this people, made mu feel for
them. I could but acknowledge, 1
when piuuod to the wall, that this |
and that treatment was not right—i
that it was not what they should re- j
ceivo. They bore persecution until ;
their pride forced them to shun, for a
time, intercourse wilh Northern per
sons, not because of a natural hatred, 1
but tho fear of having to repel uugen-1
eroils and uncalled for dings. 1 1
thought then, and now think, that, j
had the dominant, party made an ef- j
fort to bring unto the Government
trace**, iu any general way, the con
troling men of the Confederate army; I
men who fought bravely for conceived i
rights, and who were not oulj from j
necessity the friends of the Union
from the day peace was declared, hut
because they could hut believe tho
best interests of themselves, their
blighted country, and its people
would, beyond all question he
the better subserved by an earnest,
generous support of the old govern
ment. As the only real cause of trou
ble was forever wiped out, they then
had nothing to look forward to lmt
the hope of being magnanimously
treated. Had such a policy been pur
sued Georgia would have been, iu
18(38 or 18(39, in a prosperous condi
tionl The fact cannot he ignored
taut the best men, the true men, the i
honest then, will in time control the
actions of every community, and the
political machinery of our local, ’State
and general government. Such men
! have for some time, and are, now,
| managing our local and State govern
ment—all wisely and economically.
The present Governor of the State is
respected and honored, its legislative
bodies composed of men of thought,
—men impressed with the responsi- J
bilit.y of their positions. They make j
laws for the good of all—not for a
ekiss. The white man as well as the
colored man is thought of, and not
more the one than the other. The
rights of both are fostered and looked
after. The State finances are in a ;
healthy condition, and due care is ta
ken to keep all things well. Tho po
litical cry in Georgia is, who is the.
best man for Governor, who w ill man-,
age more pruddutly the State govern- ;
ment, who will command the greatest i
confidence at home and abroad? A
very general spirit of toleration is
preached and practiced. Immigra
tion is sought- for, and all newcomers,
are iivated cordially—particularly
; Northern parties. Yon may question
Imy judgment, but I believe as a peo
ple they would resent insults to a
j Norther* man with more firmness j
j than.<lioy would a general insult to 1
I a neighborhood of their own people, |
! Amply because of the oft ropoati and in- ;
f stitutious of a certain itinerant divine :
| and other sensational persons that no 1
j Northern person is safe 15 miles from j
Atlanta, neither would be, or should
| they, if they made it a pleasure to j
i pander to, and to excite the suspi
| cions and credulity of the colored i
people, when it can but cause neigh
borhood troubles.
I have by several parties been writ- i
ten to, to know if there was not fear j
of insurrections in Georgia. Not at;
all; not nearly ns much so as in the
days of slavery. The only semblance
to anything of the kind was a fight
in Washington county a few’ months
since, growing out of a colored mass
meeting. Tho leaders were speedily
arrested, indicted, and prosecuted be
fore Judge Ilorschel V. Johnson,
(once a candidate for Vice President) j
by the Attorney-General of the State,
Governor Smith being present. The
jury was composed of white men.
1 They found not guilty. It clearly ap
| pearing that the light was with out j
the slighest foundation in fact the
! Judge at once dismissed the cases, i
For the past three years colored la- 1
bor has been much more reliable.
Field hands have gradually learned (
: that it is unwise to be trying to bet- j
ter their condition by a change of .
place. The result is seen in the in- j
creased Confidence of planter and of I
the products raised.
Though it cannot bo said of Geor
gia as of Ohio that she is out of debt
and has an enormous school fund, it
can bo said that though she has a
debt of 88,000,000, that she has assets
which if sold would pay off the same
and leave her a school fund of s2,- !
