Hawkinsville Dispatch: The man Ims been found. Yea, sir, the man who could have made Old Hartford, iu Pulaski county, the capital of the B.ate of Georgia, lias ma/le a clean breast of the whole matter. According to unwritten history, the capital of Georgia many yeain ago came within one vote of being located in Old Hartford, just across the Ocmuigee river from Hawkins ville. Ail of our older citizens ha/1 for gotten It, but now, after a jieriod of nearly ninety years, the man comes out and acknowledges that he is the man who cast the I/allot that proved fatal to tiie prospects of Hartford, then the flourishing town on tho east bank of the Ocmuigee, when the Indians roamed at will over the vast territory west of the Ocmuigee and reaching to the Ala bama river. Ye*, sir, for nearly ninety years this man, who still abides in Hawkins ville, has carried the fact, locked in his breast, “unbeknownst” to tho present gener ation. It is too late to ask for au explain*- tion why this vote was cast, but we lielieva that if the question were fully investigated it would be found that Old Hartford, instead of being beaten one vote, really only re ceived one vote for tne State capital. Hawkinsville Dispatch: Judge W. L. Grice, attorney for the administrator of the estate of the late Harvey W. Latluop, re turned to Hdwkinsville a few' days ago from a trip to Chariton county, where He went to attend the sale of the lands of said estate; There are several thousand acres of the land all uncleared and having upon it such timber as is usually found near the water courses on the coast of Georgia. The lands were sold at public outcry to the highest bidder before the court house door at Trader's Hill, which is the county site of Charlton. Eleven lots, con taining 4!*) acres each, making a total of 5.890 acres, brought only 858. Rome of the lot# sold for $4 each, being less than half a cent an acre. Judge Grice liad a talk w ith one of the citizens who appeared to be in considerable trouble, as if laboring under some great m ntai embarrassment or finan cial distress. The man ha/1 that peculiar downcast look that is manifested by a man who swap* horses, g.ves heavy “boot,” and next morning awakes to a consciousness of having not only ob tained an inferior horse, but has lost ail the boot money. The citizen acknowledged to Judge Grice t at. he bought some time ago nine lots of Charlton county land, aggrega ting 4,410 acres, and gave for the same the sum of S3O. “But now,” said the man, “I am sorry I invested so heavily in land, for I don’t think I will ever be able to get my money liack ” On Dec. 8 the Gevombr issued an order, at the request of the sureties on the bond of Geo. R. Brown, Treasurer of Hancock county, requiring said Brown to make anew boud within ten days. In their application re questing this, Messrs. J. P. Reynolds and J. M. Harrison, the siiretie* referred to, set out the following facts: That they had gone on Brown's bond at the last minute when be was obliged to quaiifv, and had done so upon his assurance that it was only for a few days, w hen he wouid release them and fur nish anew bond. They had from time to tune reminded him of this, but he had in sisted upon their remaining Ills sureties until some given time, when he would have the new bond, which he never did. Further, that Brown failed to make an exhibit of his books to the grand jury, and was flne/1 #IOO by the court; that the County Commissioners hail de clared the office vacant and appointed his temporary successor, who was subse quently duly elected; that Brown had de nied their right to vacate the office and had refused to relinquish his control of it, and had carried the matter into the courts, and it was now pending before the Supreme Court; he had also refuse/I to pay orders upon him as Treasurer, amounting to $l3O, which the sureties had been oblige/1 to pay, together with sl2 in costs. In view of’ all these facte, they, therefore, asked to lie re lieved from the bond of said Brown, and in accordance with their appli cation, the order above referred to requiring Brown to make a new bond within ten days, was issued by the Governor. The County Commissioner, have notified the Governor that this notice was duly >e vjd on Brown December Bth, and tliat on December lit i no new bond had been furnished. The Governor accordingly issued an order Thursday, setting forth the foregoing fae's, and declaring the office of Treasurer of the county of Hancock \ a :ant by operation of the law, and directing the proper authorities to order an election to till said vacancy.

Key West Equator: We have made a point of speaking to several- prominent manufacturers in regard to tne effect the past summer’s sickness had upon their busi ness. All of them agreed that it was terri ble. Several of them claim that if the fol lowing summer proves as disastrous that many of the factories will have to close up.

A serious accident occurred at New Berlin on Monday about noon. Thomas J. Grey was using his blow-pipe at bis jeweler’s bench, when his lamp expl/xled, throwing a mass of burning alcohol directly into his face, completely enveloping his entire head in the Haines. He had the presence of mind to gather his apron over his mouth and eyes and plunged his burning head an/1 shoulders into a large tub of water near by, thus, no doubt, saving his life. Prompt action was taken by the family and near neighbors, with such remedies as they could command. Dr. N. Webster, of Brooklvn, was sent for, and he spent the night with him. The skin peeled from his entire fare, ears and neck, and his left hand is fearfully burned. His eyes and lungs were not injured, and no fatal results are anticipated. Pensacola Commercial: The identification of the man whose body was found under Sullivan’s wharf yesterday ns the owner of the bundle of clothes fo ind about ten day ago near the same place was through a chain of circumstances as convincing as anything short of j/ositive proof could be. The drawers which were found on the body were of the same material and make as was the undershirt found in the bundle; adher ing to the pair of i/antaloons found in ti e bundle were white woolen threads detached from the drawers that had been worn under them; in the bundle was a bottle of carbolized water and a syringe that had evidently l/een use/1 in dressing the old sores found on the right thigh of the body, and there were alsz> a number of clasp-pin* that hail been used in fastening the bandages; at the time the bundle was found there were in dose prox imity, some lint and a few bandages, that had doubtless been used in the same connec tion; front such wounds the man had evi dently limped when walking, and the right shoe of the pair found in the bundle was much less worn than was the let, and it bore the impress of having been used more ou the sole than on the heel. That the dead man an t the owner of the lmn/lle wore iden tical admits of no doubt, but wliy a so rie lilierately planned suicide should have been meditated and effected must ever remain a mystery, unless it may be attributed to de mentia bi-ought on by suffering caused by the sores referred to. Tile bundle of clothe*, which were of superior quality and make, betokened refinement in their possessor, yet the laxly of the suicide was clothed as a la borer. This, however, was evidently an at tempt at disguise, as the hands were small, and had been accustomed to very l.tt e manual labor. Who the man was must be left for the future to revunl. a* he had destroyed the meons of his identification by erasing Ids name where ever it had been placed on his clothing: yet his friends, if he had any, may recognize him from the description w hich has hero and heretofore been given of him. The particulars ot the shooting of Mr. O. A. Budingtnn by Sherman Brain, at Green Cove Springs, Wednesday evening, a brief account, of which was nunlished Thursday, are as follows: Mr. Budinarton is manager of the Western Railway, and Brant had been employed on the railroad. Meeting Mr. Budingtou cu> the track about 5 o’clock in the afternoon, Brant asked to he paid some money which was due fro it the railroad company. Mr. Budingtou replied: “I do not nay you; get your monev irum the office at the usual pay night.” Mr. Budington then turned and started toward hi* home, when Brant drew a pistol ami filed twice at the back of there treating form of Mr. Budingtnn. Both •shots took effect. one in each shouldier. Mr. Budington walked to tho nearest house and secured a horse and buggy and was driven to his home, a short distance from where the shooting took place. Brain, after shooting Mr Budington, ran off into the woods, ami has not us yet been captured, although Sheriff Black, with a posse of men, has been scouring the woods in the hope of securing his arrest. Drs. Merrill and Cauova were summoned to the relief of Mr. Budington, but after a most patient and thorough search and probing failed to find the bullets, both of which are still in the body of the wounded man. He lies in a very precari ohs condition, and grows weaker every honr from the loss of blood. A messenger was dispatched for L)r. T. O. Summers, of Jacksonville, Thursday, who im mediately went to Green Cove Springs to attend Mr. Budington. The belief was strong in the minds of the citizens of Greeif Cove, that a conspiracy was on foot among the negroes who had l/een working for the railroad to assault Mr. Budington. Brain’s action confirmed this suspicion, and it is thought that he was acting as their ring leader. It is lielieved that others were imnlicated in the movement, and therefore three others have been arrested, and 1 eked up until the matter ean be investigated, or until Brant is apprehended. Those arrested Thursday were John Love, Henry Thomp son and Charles Scott. There is a strong talk among the citizens of Green Cove of lynching Brain as soon as he is captured. Sir. Budington is a prominent citizen of Clay county. It is feared he cannot re cover. __ Carter & Cos., of 194 Duane street, New York, are selling Florida oranges at $3 50 and $4.
