THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
TUESDAY, May 25, 1875.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
Sam Wallace, charged with the mur
der of Nick Dillard, at Hawkinsville a
few weeks ago, was acquitted last Mon
day in Pulaski Superior Court.
Greensboro (May 21) Dispatch to the
Atlanta Herald: The beautiful resi
dence of Win. H. Brown was destroyed
by lire this afternoon. Nothing was
saved. No insurance. Loss probably
£5,000.
There was some quick work in Meri
wether county week before last. An
derson Hixon, negro, went to church
Sunday, robbed a mill Monday, was ar
rested Tuesday, tried and found guilty
Wednesday, and on Saturday sentenced
to the penitentiary.
Atlanta Herald . Mr. Carlton Hillyer’s
name is now spoken of in connection
with the superintendeucy of the Geor
gia railroad. Mr. Hillyer is at present
the Auditor of the road, and one of the
best officers anywhere along the line.
We believe that his election would give
satisfaction everywhere. He would till
the office efficiently ; no man could do
it more so.
Griffin News Joseph Banning, Esq.,
of Greenville, Ga., dropped dead at his
home ou Thursday last. He was about
sixty-five years of age, and it is thought
died of heat t disease. He was a pros
perous merchant of that town, was well
known and respected, and the father of
the Ordinary of Meriwether county,
James Banning, Esq.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun says
the so-called Belle Boyd, who has been
lecturing at Opelika, Ala., cured a ne
gro of civil rights secundem artem one
day last week. He obtruded himself
into the ladies’ car bound lor Atlanta
and took a seat, but Belle drew her
little pistol and ordered him out. He
left in a big hurry.
Newnan (May 22) Dispatch to the
Atlanta Herald: Yesterday morning,
about 3 o’clock, a fire originated in the
telegraph office at Newnan and de
stroyed the building before it could be
extinguished. It was only through the
heroic efforts of the citizens that the
whole town was saved ; they prevented
the conflagration from extending be
yond this one building which was
owned by Judge Berry. The loss
amounted to $5,000. Col. Burdett and
Mr. Daniel Smith were energetic in
their efforts to extinguish the flames.
Columbus Sun : Since September Ist,
the Columbus and Tallassee (Ala.)
Mills —the latter controlled by Colum
bus men—have taken 8,441 bales of cot
ton, against 6,036 same time last year;
a gain of 1,505. This simply means
that our manufacturers have paid to
producers the highest market price,
amounting to $643,076 for 7,441 bales of
cotton, passed it through their ma
chinery, increased its value three-fold,
and from the North, East, West and
South drawn not only the purchase
mouey ($643,076), but in addition sl,-
286,152. All this money nearly is drawn
from abroad. We are glad the manu
facturing spirit is life in Columbus,
and in less than two years we will have
another mill of 10,000 to 20,000 spin
dles. Columbus already runs some
35,000, and nearly every dollar invest
ed is Southern capital.
Wilkinson Appeal: Some boys were
fishing in Cedar creek, in this county,
one day this week, and discovered an
old wild cat and two young ones iu a
hollow tree in the swamp, and immed
iately went into the settlement and re
ported the fact. Mr. George W. Payne,
Mr. F. A. Cannon and Mr. Mathis, soon
started to the place, and on arriving,
fouiul three young cats in the hollow
tree. They killed two, and tied the other
cat to make it cry, aud call the old one
up. The others left and Payne was left
to watch and while he kept his steadfast
gaze directed to the tree, he heard a
noise behind him. He turned to look.
There stood the cat within a few feet,
behind him. His hair raised up, and
stood erect upon his head “ like quills
upon the fretful porcupine.” The emer
gency demanded immediate action, and
lie raised his gun and fired, and the cat
fell dead. Soon the party got together
again, with dogs and guns, and started
another cat, and killed it, making
five cats killed in all before they quit
the hunt. •
Atlanta News: Exactly how the State
Road lessees succeeded in retaining
Gen. Mcßae’s services has not trans
pired, but ever since the Georgia Road
endeavored to secure him the Directors
have been in daily session, and long
aud serious have been the discussions.
It is tolerably certain that the renewed
offer of an increase of salary, even
if true, did not affect Gen. Mcßae's
decision, as he is well known to be in
different to money, but is supposed to
possess the laudable ambition of ex
tending his reputation as a railroad
manager. It was reported yesterday
that the Directors of the State Road
have complied with all the conditions
named by him upon which the Gen
eral would agree to remain in
their service. The knowing ones
say that he has been invested with
autocratic powers, and that he will
show bigger results iu the future. One
report has it that he has purchased a
share in the lease, and that ou the ex
piration of ex-Governor Brown’s pres
ent term, he will be elected .President
of the road. In connection with
this report is a story that, during the
discussion of the question as to
whether the road could afford to lose
the services of General Mcßae, it was
pretty loudly intimated by some of the
Directors that the lessees could not
permit the road to relapse into the old
style of running it. Well, ex-Gover
nor Brown is reported to have said :
“ I am no railroad man; I never
pretended to be one.” “You are
right, Governor,” rejoined Mr. Rich
ard Peters, who was delighted with
the frank confession. “You are
not a railroad man.” The impression
prevailed that the ex-Governor will
soon retire from the arduous and per
plexing duties of President, and enjoy
his share of the heavy profits of the
road without having to trouble him
self about the management.
Wilkinson Appeal: On Saturday
night last the post office in this place
was entered, and a trunk was taken
from it containing six hundred postage
stamps and thirteen dollars and sev
< nty-five cents in currency and gold.
Two or three registered letters were
also taken from the office, one of which
contained five dollars as was after
wards ascertained. The contents of
the others are not yet known. The
house was entered through the door,
supposed to have been done by prizing
up the bar that fastened it. The trunk
was found at about 11 o’clock next day
below Judge W. F. Cannon’s mill, in
the creek swamp by Warren Hol
combe, aud was brought back to this
place. He described the place at which
he found the trunk, but was unable to
show the place to others. It was found,
however, afterwards, but was a differ
ent place entirely from the one de
scribed. No new light was shed upon
the transaction by the finding of the
place. A $2.50 gold piece, which had
been carried off in the trunk, aud 500
of the postage stamps were recovered
with the trunks. We have been told
that Warren Holcombe was sworn in
and qualified as deputy postmaster,
only ou the Friday previous to the
committing of the robbery, and that he
is non est inventus at this time.
There are 906 Smiths in St. Louis,
according to the directory.
SOOTH CAROLMA DEPARTMENT.
Blue Ridge Scrip.
Of the Blue Ridge scrip the Colum
bia Union Herald says; The recent
decision of the Supreme Court of the
United States, iu reference to this un
fortunate scrip that, it would seem,
had as many lives as a cat, has
quenched out the last spark of vitality
it had as a value. A bank officer of
this city, in giving his testimony as a
witness, a few days ago, in a case where
a quantity of it was left as collateral
for the payment of a note, testified that
it had no value, that it was worthless.
This ledimony is borne out by another
fact that came to our attention yester
day, when one of our financial curb
stone brokers disposed of a lot of the
late lamented scrip at two cents on the
dollar. When we remember that a few
years ago this same Blue Ridge could
find a ready market at sixty-five cents
on the dollar, we pause to consider the
reason.
The Sumter Defaulting Treasurer—
An Ex-Couuty Treasurer on Trial —
The Charges and the Proofs—Dab
bling in County Claims—Where the
Public Money Went To.
[Reported for the News and Courier.]
Sumter, May 20.—Catching the in
fection of honesty, which seems to be
spreading like an epidemic over the
State, the county of Sumter is begin
ning to see light upon the daikuess
which has pervaded its fiscal affairs.
The first of a series of prosecutions
commenced to-day, viz.: The State vs.
W. H. Gardner, late County Treasurer,
for official misconduct. Your corres
pondent chanced to be iu court while
the case was going on, aud was forcibly
struck by the peculiar manner in which
the defense was conducted. First, they
objected to the indictment because it
contained, as they said, different
charges. That being defeated, they then
objected to the cash book of the Treas
urer being used as evidence, claiming
that it was a private book ; whereupon
a long discussion ensued between the
attorneys of the parties, but before it
was decided the defense withdrew its
objection. Thereupon the State
proved that at a time when the Treas
urer had reported no funds there was
actually over seven thousand and -liars
in hand. Soon after this the court
took a recess for dinner. After dinner
the case was resumed, and it was pret
ty clearly proved that tlie late treasu
rer failed to make the reports required
by law from about March, 1873, to Jan
uary, 1874. It does not follow that Mr.
Gardner embezzled auy of the funds.
No such charge is made, but it is be
lieved that he did use the county funds
to speculate, either directly or in
directly, iu claims, jury tickets,
witness tickets, etc., aud that he put iu
these papers in lieu of the cash col
lected. No doubt the late treasurer did
take some of these papers at par.
Ho certainly did so in at least one
instance to my own knowledge.
There are other indictments against
the same party, aud as he is now
out of office, it is highly probable
that those who might, under other cir
cumstances, stick by him, will desert
him like rats from a sinking ship. It
is remarkable how quickly Radicals
find out the short-comings of the frauds
of their associates just as soon as they
lose thepporerw r er to serve them, either
politically or financially. My own im
pression is that there are much worse
men than Mr. Gardner in public offices
iu this county. The graud jury is after
some of them, and I will keep you
posted if anything tangible be proved.

A Mistrial —The Jury Stand Nine for
Conviction and Tiu*ee for Acquittal.
[Special Dispatch to the News and Cou
rier.)
Sumter, May 22— The jury in the
case of the State against Gardner re
mained out nineteen hours, without
agreeing, and a mistrial was ordered.
Nine jurors voted for conviction on
every count, and three jurors, one
colored, voted against conviction on any
count. Junius.
Sad Occurrence iu Sumter.
[Reported for the News and Courier.]
Sumter, May 21.—A very painful ac
cident took place yesterday, Mr. C. T.
Mason, Jr., son of the well known citi
zen of the same name, while attending
to his new lumber mill, about five
miles from Siunter, had his right foot
cut off by a circular saw, making at the
time, a thousand revolutions to the
minute. Had it not been for the
prompt assistance of a colored man,
the unfortunate victim would probably
have bled to death. It was an hour
before medical aid arrived. The foot
was only haugiug by the skill, and
the fracture rendered amputation
necessary. This operation was per
formed by Drs. China an 1 Boa
sard, and the patient bore it
with great firmness. I am told
that after receiving the terrible wound
young Mason continued to direct his
workmen at the mill while lying on his
back suffering from this painful acci
dent. Young Masou is a man of won
derful genius as a mechanic. At an
early age, while a mere boy, he con
structed a steam engine so complete
and beautiful that it at once made his
reputation and procured for him a
medal from the State Agricultural So
ciety. He was sent to a first-class es
tablishment in Baltimore to study his
profession as an engineer, and after his
return here has been industiiously pur
suing his business. He belongs to that
small but useful class of our people
who contribute to the general prosper
ity by the union of brain and muscle,
the intelligent and skilled labor which
is the true greatness of a country. The
unfortunate young man, in his great
loss, has the earnest and sincere sym
pathy of the eutire community.

Porter’s Speech.
[Courier-Journal.]
According to Judge Porter it is im
possible for Bessie Turner to lie, and
yet the evidence of several of the wit
nesses proved her to be a fabricator of
no small dimensions.
Judge Porter thinks it impossible
for a man sixty years of age to commit
an act of debauchery, and yet Noah
was several hundred years old when he
got drunk.
Judge Porter’s speech is reported to
have opened the lachrymal gland of
old Plymouth anew, aud from the
chronically-weeping Shearman down to
the latest baptized, there flowed floods
of tears.
Lick.— To illustrate the eccentricity
of James Lick, the California million
aire, it is said that he hired two men to
work for him and set them to work
planting cabbages, directing them to
put the plants tops down, roots up.
One of the men obeyed the order
strictly. The other th ought it a mis
take and put the plants in the soil just
as auy sensible person would do. By
and by the employer came along.
Seeing the work of the latter, he in
quired, “ W T ho did that ?” “ I did,”
said the man, confidently. “ You can
not work for me auy longer, sir,” was
the reply, with a summary dismissal.
A kind-hearted, peace-loving Balti
more man painted his front steps twen
ty-three times, trying to get a color to
suit his wife, and then she decided
that the first color was the best.
The Dead Letter.
BV JOHN a. SAXE.
[Leisure Day Rhymes.]
And can it be? Ah, yes, I see.
’Tis thirty years and better
Since Mary Morgan sent to me
This musty, musky letter.
A pretty hand (she couldn’t spell),
As any man must vote it;
And’t was, as I remember well,
A pretty hand that wrote it!
How calmly now I view it all,
As memory backward ranges—
The talks, the walks, that I recall,
And then—the postal change*!
How well 1 loved her I can guess
(Since cash is Cupid’s hostage)—
Just one-and-sixpence— nothing less—
This letter cost in postage!
The love that wrote at such a rate
(By Jove! it was a steep one!)
Five hundred notes (I calculate)
Was certainly a deep one;
And yet it died- -or slow decline—
Perhaps suspicion chilled it;
I’ve quite forgotten if’t was mine
Or Mary’s flirting killed it.
At last the fatal message came:
“My letters—please return them;
And yours—of course you wish the same—
I'll send them back or burn them.”
Two precious fools, I must allow,
Whichever w r as the greater;
I wonder if I’m wiser now,
Rome seven lusters later?
And this alone remains! Ah, well!
These words of warm affection,
The faded ink, the pungent smell,
Are food for deep reflection.
They tell of how the heart contrives
To change with fancy’s fashion,
And how a drop of musk survives
The strongest human passion! j
