Case of Henrietta Greer.
Editors Tdegraph : Having road your article
on tho “Case of Henrietta Greer,” being great
ly astonished at the statements therein made,
and believing that yon havo, by being misin
formed as to the facts elicited on the trial, un
intentionally misrepresented Governor Bollock,
I propose as an act of justice to him, to present
tho case as disclosed by the official record on
file in this county. Yon say that “the prisoner,
according to her own account, sustained by the
evidence, and repeated many times without ma
terial variation to officers—to the Court—to ono
of our own editors and numerous other par
ties—on many occasions running through a
period of several months—went ontwith her
unfortunate little victim to gather lightwood for
market, and while in the field conceived the idea
of lading the child in order to get possession of a
few cents which the latter had in her pocket.
Accordingly she strnck her several fatal blows on
tho head with tho axe—V</: the money, and
Mill# to town and nptnt it in r.ik-* and candy.''
If the official record discloses the fact alleged
in this quotation, or if snch an inference can be
drawn from the evidence, then I think the pris
oner deserved death, and I do not hesitate to
say that the Governor should not have granted
her a second reprieve, much less a commuta
tion of the sentence. But the evidence discloses
no snch facts; nor does it show that snch ad
missions were made either “to the court, to ono
of yonr editors or to any other person whatever. ’ ’
It does show that the deceased was going on
eighteen years of age, that she was about
the sue of the prisoner, and not a “little child”
by any means; that but ono witness (and he the
brother of deceased) testified about any money;
and he states in the direct examination that “he
heard deceased had S3 20,” but when re-called
says “Prisoner knew deceased had this money,
and that when deceased was found her pocket
was turned wrong side out”
Now, let us examine this point: Capt. Simp
son, who came np to where the body of deceased
was lying, immediately after it was fonnd, and
who testifies that he examined it carefully, after
giving a minute description of its appearance,
fails to corroborate the very material fact as to
the pocket—a circumstance not possible for him,
as a police officer of large experience, to have
overlooked, particularly at a moment when the
character of the crime #as nndeveloped and the
circnmstances attending its commission un
known. The same witness, who was present in
the room when prisoner was arrested, failed to
find any “cakes or candy,” or money in her pos
session, but did find some trifling toys.
Now, if yon will give the prisoner the benefit
of a fair and reasonable presumption, the pos
session of the toys can be accoonted for as being
purchased with the money she earned by her
labor, subsequent to the commission of the
crime, which tho testimony, corroborating her
own assertions, shows that she performed. Tho
evidence nowhere shows that deceased was
struck from “behind, or on the back of the
head;” the wounds being inflicted on the head,
breaking the skull at the right temple.
Several prominent and legal gentlemen of
this city differ with yon, when yon say that pre-
jndice had no influence on the case; they assert
and it is notorious, that the public mind was
much inflamed by the exaggerated reports of
the affair; the press had thundered against her,
and in public opinion, her guilt was established
before she was brought to trial. In this remark
I do not intend to reflect upon the integrity of
any one, but simply state my own sentiments
np to the time that I examined the evidence.
The same gentlemen assert that prisoner’s
counsel labored under many disadvantages for
making a successful defence—among others,
“that they were put upon trial with littio or no
time for preparation.” Under these circum
stances is it possible that she could have had
the benefit of such a trial, as would have elicited
all the mitigating circumstances of her crime ?
Again you say, “that the relative strength and
age of the parties preclude the idea of a strug-
file.”
The brother of deceased testifies that the par
ties were about the same age and size, so that
the idea of a struggle is not at all precluded—
on the contrary, the confession of the prisoner,
which was introduced on her trial, and without
which she could not have been convicted, states
distinctly that deceased cursed and strnck her
with a stick: and, therefore, she, in the sadden
heat of passion, retamed the blows with an axe.
Her confession is the only direct evidence in the
case; all the balance is pnrely circumstantial.
Her confession must be taken in its entirety—
it cannot be severed. The same evidence winch
satisfies us that Henrietta Greer slew Nancy
Wright, should satisfy us of the circumstances of
the slaying.
The position being true, and, in the absence
of other testimony to the contrary, the conclu
sion wonld be inevitable that the crime commit
ted was not murder but voluntary manslaughter.
So much, Messrs. Editors, for the main points
made in yonr article. Now for the general facts
in the case. The two girls wero on perfect terms'
of social equality and intimacy—slept in the
same room—worked daily together in partner
ship ; they were friends np to the moment the
first blow was struck. They were getting light-
wood in an open field in the day-time; had gone
ont together for this purpose; the place to and
the object for which they had gone ont were
known to the family of the deceased; arriving
there, they commenced work; deceased hands
prisoner her comb to bold, who, negro-like,
sticks it in her hair and in pulling it ont breaks
it; this naturally incenses deceased, who abnses
and then strikes prisoner with a stick; prisoner
in return strikes deceased with an axe, which she
holds in her hand and with which she is entting
lightwood, nnd kills her; leaves her lying there
and runs off—so commenced and so ends the
tragedy.
Henrietta Greer did not attempt to conceal the
body of her victim, and certainly did not pre
meditate murder; Vie evidence fails to show that
she did. Her confessions, while they bear the
impress of truth, clearly establish her imbecil
ity ; for, while she admits the crime, she tells,
simply and child-like, all the circnmstances at
tending its commission.
With this view of the case, without attempt
ing an argnment, permit me to ask if the facts
presented wonld ndt awaken in the mind of any
reasonable man, away from the influences
which would affect the community in which the
crime was committed, snch reasonable doubts
as to the nature of the crime as to reoommend
the prisoner to mercy? I think they would, and
am only surprised that the commutation was not
more extended. I think Governor Bullock is
naturally humane and merciful; but do not be
lieve that he will shield criminals from just and
merited punishment, or that he will, through
fear of public censure, withhold the pardoning
power, when, in his opinion, justice and hu
manity demand its exercise. ”

Apropos of music, I may mention that toe
“fall season” has opened atmostof toe fashion

cannot be surpassed even on toe stage. The
choirs are, most of them, heavily salaried—the
one at Dr. Ewer’s church, which is only a quar
tette, requiring $3600 per annum to support it.
The Sunday afternoon exhibitions given by toe
choir at St. Stephen’s Chnrch are truly grand,
and large crowds attend them, ju3t as they do
toe opera. The only apparent difference be
tween these services and toe opera is, that toe
former is in a chnrch and the latter in a theatre;
for the whole service is a choral, and the music
is of the same class as we hear at toe opera. I
am an advocate of fine music in our churches;
but I do not believe in making toe Honse of

appears, it is certainly not more liable to be held

Chinese Servants.
A correspondent of toe Cincinnati Commer.
cial writes as follows from Son Francisco:
The problem which every housewife in the
world has been watching with interest from toe
beginning of time is going to be solved, so far
as this country is concerned, by toe Chinaman.
In toe capacity of house servants, he has not,
according to toe universal opinion here among
housekeepers, a serious fault or any disagreea
ble habit from which it is not possible to break
him in a very short time. They are very tidy,
tooylike steady employment, uniform ways, and
ask few privileges. They are honest, frugal,
careful and industrious, and take great pride in
toe excellence of their work, whether in cooking,
or chimber work, or as body servants, or gen
eral waiters or bell-boys. They do all classes of
work that toe American servant girl does. Many
of them in this State are even employed as child
nurses and seamstresses.
A lady with whom I conversed here, toe wife
of a banker and a very prominent gentleman,
says she has had many years’ experience with
toe Chinese as house-servants, and that Eastern
people can form no idea of the cleanliness of
the Chinamen and their general excellence. She
prefers them to any other class of help. Her
servants bathed twice daily, and one of them,
who was intrusted with toe purchase of toe
family supplies and toe payment therefor, was
in constant trouble with shop-keepers because
he insisted npon the minnte inspection of arti-
des, toe weighing or measuring of everything
himself, and exacting toe precise change in
money. There aro hundreds of servants here
who have been in toe same family for ten years,
which is tho best recommendation that can be
given, considering how plenty servants are
here. As to their wages, they charge, it may
be, a little more than Irish help of a miscella
neous character, but their wages are always
reasonable and even low for toe work they per
form.

perienced French naval officers on too subject
The Emperor of the French, promptly comply

likely to allnre to rain by its fascinations than
to deter from danger by its warnings.

Fire at Jonesboro.—We learn that toe ware
house of T. Byrne, at Jonesboro, with fifty-eight
bales of cotton, was consumed by fire on yester
day. When the train passed by at noon, the
fire was still raging.
Old Dekalb Ahead.—Dr. G. K. Hamilton,
of Stone Mountain, informs ns of toe birth of a
male child in DeKalb county, a few nights since,
twenty-six inches around, and weighing fifteen
pounds. Both boy and mother are doing well.
Resigned.—Eugene Davis has resigned toe

of New York, has been appointed to the position
occnpied by Mr. Davis.

mnch that he took toe body of the calf and laid
it across toe track. The freight train ran over

across the track of the Macon and Western rail
road about forty miles from this city. The
heartless wretches, if caught, should be severely

The Terrible Drought and Distress—Crops—
Chinamen—Superior Court.
Knoxville, Ga.', Sept 17, 1869.
Editors Telegraph : The drought yet contin
ues. We have had no rain since July. All veg
etation is dying—toe streams are drying up-
toe wells are failing—great difficulty in getting
grain ground at toe mills. No pastures, no pea-
crop—potato crop very poor. The forward com
is about an average crop—late crop entirely cut
off. Cotton crop will be all soon opened. As
no cotton wasmade in toe cotton month, August,
Crawford county will not yield one-half it prom
ised on toe 10th day of Jnly. The river farms
have suffered worse than any portion of the
comity. As to the manures used, some few are
of opinion they have been benefitted; others
say not so—that it will not pay, as too cotton
factor always controls too price of cotton until
toe merchant’s drafts are liquidated; and as long
as they pursue this suicidal course, they and
their children must be toe hewers of wood and
drawers of water, and they are murmuring to
themselves, etc.
We are like your Fort Valley correspondent,
we are opposed to toe Chinaman. We are by him,
like an aged divine that we have heard of once,
when he was considered to be by his medical
attendants almost beyond recovery with ady
namic feveT, one of his brother preachers ap
proached his bedside and asked him how it
wonld be with him should he make his exit from
this world, what wonld be his promised hopes
in another world? His reply was that he knew
toe people in this and he did not know them in
the other world, so he preferred holding on here
a while longer. I am much of his opinion as
regards John Chinaman and toe negro. I know
toe negro will steal my shanghais, kill my pigs
and eat them, but that is an instinct in his ner
vous system that oannot be eradicated; bnt with
all these foibles I like him; he is useful I
know his ways, and he knows mine. I was
raised with him, and he with me. When toe
white man's blood is not mixed with his, he is
easily controlled, docile in his nature. He is
not fit for a mechanic, bnt exactly suited for
the corn and cotton fields. They don’t remem
ber malice, as a general thing. History does
not teach or inform ns of snch a people. John
Chinaman might not treat my children as well
as Aunt Bettie or Uncle Bob does.
Our Superior Court was held here last week,
Judge Cole presiding; one man tried for mule
stealing. His Honor informed him by his sen

Cannabalism.
Some French soldiers were lately taken pris
oners by toe Canaks, and one of them was
killed and eaten. His comrades describe the
process, The Canaks first decapitate their vic
tim, a matter of no small difficulty, considering
the bluntness of their hatchets. Ten to fifteen
blows are necessary. The body is then hung
up to a tree by toe feet, and toe blood allowed
to run ont for an hour. Meanwhile a hole a
yard and a half deep and a yard wide is dug in
toe ground. The hole is filled with stones, and
in the midst of them a great fire is lit. When
the wood is burnt down a little and glows with
heat, it is covered over with more stones. The
man is then cleaned out and divided into pieces
abont. a foot long, toe hands and feet being
thrownjaway as worthless. The pieces of the
man are placed on toe leaves of a large rose
tree peculiar to toe tropics. The meat is sur
rounded with oocoannts, bananas, and some
other plants noted for their delicate flavor. The
whole is then tied together firmly, the fire is re
moved from the pit, the meat is placed in among
toe hot stones, and tons, carefully covered, is
left to cook for an hour. Women do not par
take of this warriors’ feast Men alone are per
mitted to enjoy so great an honor and so rare a
delicacy.
Mu. William Henry Hulbubt has reached
London, and toe first of his long series of Eu
ropean letters for toe New York World has been
printed in that journal. The closing paragraph
refers to Napoleon’s health, and is quite inter
esting. He says that a friend, whose source of
information are of toe best, has informed him
that the Emperor has really been very ill, but
with a strictly local affection—an affection pain
ful always, in extreme old age perilous, but at
the Emperor's time of life and to a man of his
Bingularly vigorous constitution, in nowise pos
itively dangerous. He has undergone an opera
tion, has been relieved of the local inconve
nience under which he suffered, and is in a fair
way of going abont his business and his pleas
ures again as freely as at any time within the
last ten years. His condition was aggravated
by undue haste in walking after the operation,
bnt toe effects of this indiscretion are rapidly
disappearing.
It was proposed in Paris immediately , after
the death of Lucas, toe lion-tamer, to prohibit
all amusements, the excitement of which con
sisted in the possibility that a man .might be
killed in sight of the andience. Since then
there has been a horrible occurrence at a Span
ish bull fight at Jnras, in toe Gard. One of the
bulls tossed a man, killed him in an instant,
and ran about the circus with his entrails
twisted about toe horns. Nobody thought of
stopping the performance, whioh went ou for
something in my eye.” This may all be very
fine in Italian, when most of the audience would _
only understand the music; but when sung in three hoars afterwards.

How It Works or wrbat it Costs.
The New York Express says toe Government
is giving ns some facts' in regard to the tariff,
bat omitting others mnch more important to
consnmers, and it supplies some of toe omis
sions. For instance, in 1868 it exacted of the
people in gold, $190,000,000 on $396,000,000
of dutiable foreign goods. The consnmers paid
all this and middlemen’s profits of not les3 than
50 per cent, or $95,000,000. The importer
charged the profit on toe tariff that he did on
toe first cost of goods; jobbers, importers,
wholesalers, retailers, each also exacted his
profit on the total cost of goods to him, and so
when those imported goods are paid for by the
customers, the accounts stand thus:
Original cost of goods 8360.000,000
Cost of shipping (15 per cent.) 59,000,000
Duties on toe goods 190,000,000
8645,400,900
Profits of middlemen and transpor-
tation’eompanies (60 per cent.) 337,120,000
81,034,320,000
Thus the first cost enhanced nearly three-fold
by tariff and profits. The import tax averages
50 per cent., and the middlemen’s profits raise
it 75 per cent

feeling prevailing an entire congregation.

Piney Mount (Methodist) church, seven miles
South, at which some 16 were added to toe
church.
Our Christian brethren, as we learn, have
been blessed with revivals in nearly or quite all
their churches throughout the county, and many
souls have been gathered in.
In fact, toe various churches generally, have
been revived and much good done, as we trust
in toe cause of our blessed Master. To-day,
Wednesday, the meeting hitherto announced,
begins with the Methodist church in this place,
and most humbly would we invoke toe blessings
of heaven npon it. May many be brought from
darkness to light ere it dose.
The New York Times on Brunswick.
Prom tie Times 0/ the
Attention has recently been directed, and not
for toe first time, to toe city and harbor of
Brunswick, Ga., as a point of first importance
on the Atlantic coast, in view of its new railway
connections, since the war, with the interior of
Georgia and Alabama. As long ago as 1886
toe United States Government surveys along
the Atlantic coast of the Carolines, Georgia and
Florida established toe fact that no snch harbor
as Brunswick, for depth of water, safety of an
chorage, and salubrity of climate, could be fonnd
from Cape Hatteras to the uttermost coast of
Florida. Looking back to the first settlement
of Georgia under General Oglethorpe, almost
contemporaneous with the Colonial grants of the
two Carolinas, the snrprisq is that Wilmington
and Charleston and. Savannah should have then
attracted tho attention of oommerce along the
Atlantic coast to the neglect of a harbor superi
or in its essentials for shipping and more di
rectly on the sea than either or all of them. It
may bo said in explanation that these locations
were selected because they were either upon or
at toe mouth of considerable rivers, running
from the interior of the colonies to the sea, the
consideration of the depth and safety of harbor
to foreign shipping being overlooked or deemed
of secondary importance, whan toe depth of
water was ample for the class of vessels then
trading between the mother country and her
colonies. Nor is it surprising that, for 50 or 60
years after the independence of these colonies of
Great Britain was declared and established, the
Cape Fear to Wilmington, and Cooper and Ashley
to Charleston, and the Savannah River to Savan
nah, should have been deemed important to
these locations. Railways were either wholly
unknown or in their earliest infancy, after
steam or other navigation was established. The
very idea that depth of water should suggest it
self, or that the bars and the inlets at the mouth
of the Cape Fear, or the bar and shoal water of
Charleston, or the natural obstructions to naviga
tion below Savannah, never occured to the pub
lic of toe Carolinas and Georgia in connection
with, toe importance of deeper harbors, until the
General Government ordered the survey refer
red to in 1836, when our great railway system
and its connection with the seaboard were at
tracting especial interest in the Southern States.
This movement had been anticipated by Geor
gia and South Carolina. They had made liberal
appropriations and put in active force their
railway project for the benefit of Charleston
and Augusta on the one hand, and Savannah on
toe other. And although toe result of the sur
vey was, as we have stated, in favor of Bruns
wick as by all odds the very best harbor on toe
coast, the Savannah and Angusta influence was
too powerfnl in Georgia to suffer either aid or
attenton to be directed to ik - ,
Of late years, toe Georgia State polioy has
undergone a sensible change. Before the war,
certain New York capitalists took hold of toe
Brunswick and Albany Railroad, in connection
with their interest in Brunswick city property.
They expended several millions npon it, and
were in a fair way to make toe work complete to
toe intersection of toe projeoted Florida Road,
when toe rebellion broke ont. Everything they
had done, including toe road, its equipment,
etc., were swept away by the war. The rails
were taken up; the rails arriving at Brunswick
in 1861 were seized; toe equipment run off, and
a general sequestration consummated by. the so-
called Confederate authorities, the State of
Georgia being a party to the spoliation and con
version of this property. Since the war, the
wrong has been acknowledged by the Legislature
of Georgia. About three and a half mimons are
acknowledged to be dne to the Savannah and
Albany Road; toe importance of toe repair and
revival of toe road recognized, and its extension
to the State line of Alabama, or the means of
such extension, guaranteed. The line is dixtoct
to Eufauls, on the border of Alabama, mid
thence to Montgomery and Vicksburg. Fifteen
thousand dollars per mile, State indorsement,
on six per cent, bonds, prinoipal and interest
payable in gold, on 237 miles, is secured, the
State acting as trustee to the general mortgage,
and pledging the punctual payment of interest
as well as the reimbursement of toe principal at
the end of forty years.
Nor is this all that Georgia has done, or pro
poses to have done, for Brunswick. State aid
aas also been granted to the Macon and Bruns
wick Road—a line by all odds the shorter and
more direct communication as between Macon,
Atlanta and Chattanooga, and toe entire centre
of the State and the sea-coast than the Maoon
and Savannah Road. A reference to any rail
way map will confirm this fact This road has
also been taken in hand by New York capital
ists, and will soon be completed. It will har
monize with the Brunswick and Albany, and
will assuredly be completed in all the present
year. Both lines pierce the very richest cotton
regions of Georgia ; both will contribute to the
prosperity of toe city of Brunswick, and will to
gether tend to establish at no distant day the
snpremacy of that point as toe most eligible
exporting mart for the Southern and South
western States south of Norfolk, Va.
Jay Cooke did a nice thing this summer. As
toe world knows, he has a splendid estate at
Pnt-in-Bay Islands. He invited a large number
of clergymen to visit him and spend a few weeks
in. boating, fishing and other recreations. He
did not invite fashionable clergymen with large
salaries and great fame. He selected lowly
ministers—men who eke ont a scanty livelihood
on starvation salaries, agents of. benevolent so
cieties on poor pay, and city missionaries who
cannot travel, and who have no money to spend
at fashionable watering places. Mr. Cooke paid
all the expenses of transportation, made these
clerical gentlemen very happy, and put money
into their purse when they left.
War with Spain.—The London Spectator of
toe 17th says war between Spain and the United
States on account of Cuba appears like a moral
impossibility, but is universally believed just
now in Spain. The war enthusiasm there is
gathering fast Minister Sickles’ proposal is
inconsistent with preoedent and with the con
duct of tho United States in 1861. What with
Spanish pride and American sympathies the sit
uation is very critical, It is diflkralt to believe
that Spam, with a divided people, a bankrupt
treasury, one colony in revolt, others to lose <md
nothing to win, can seriously contemplate war
with one of the greatest powers on earth.
