THE CONSTITUTIONALIST
M'XDAY, May 30. 1875.
GEORGIA GENERAL NEWS.
It is said in Savannah that two bat
talions are to be formed of the First
Regiment of Georgia Volunteers—thus
breaking up that organization.
Rome Commercial: We have been
informed that there were twenty wag
ons in the city one fine day last week to
get corn to supply the farmers. If
bought on a credit, as it probably was,
the price was about one dollar and a
half per bushel, to which should be
added about twenty cents per bushel as
the cost of hauling, this busy soason of
the year. Much of the corn sold by
the farmers of this section, is disposed
of to the merchants as soon as gather
ed at about half the above price. Thus
we have before us the spectacle of
farmers making corn at 75 cents per
bushel, to buy corn at $1.50 per bushel!
Or buying corn at $1.50 per bushel to
make corn at 75 cents per bushel!
LaGrange Reporter: The largest
sale of cotton ever made in LaGrange,
and one seldom surpassed anywhere,
was made on Wednesday. A. D. Abra
ham & Cos., of this place, selling to Reid
A Cameron, of Augusta, Ga., thirteen
hundred and six bales, at 144 cents.
It amounts to about one hundred thou
sand dollars. The cotton was stored in
J. N. Cooper’s warehouse. It is being
shipped by special trains. Now, say
LaGrange, with what she has done pre
viously in the season, is not one of the
marts of the laud well deserviug our
boast.
Sparta Timex: We learn that Mr. L.
Powell, of this place, has been left
quite a handsome little fortune by a
\ irginia relative, who died recently.
We quote as follows from the Mari
etta Journal: “While sitting at our
desk writing, a few days since, a mock
ing bird flew in at the window, and
alighting on our head, remained long
enough for us to call a friend from an
adjoining room to witness the novel
spectacle. We trust this is an omen of
good luck.”— Greenville Vindicator.
Dalton Citizen : “Aha!” our Aeworth
correspondent writes: Last Monday
evening, the 24th instant, a number of
the citizens of Paulding county had
collected at the old 20th District court
ground to make their tax returns. The
Court House w T as a small building be
sides the Burnt Hickory Road, some
five or six miles west of Aeworth, and
whilst in this building a storm came
up and blew a tree across the house,
instantly killing Hon. William E.
McEver, one of Paulding’s best and
most distinguished citizens. There were
eighteen persons in the building and
strange to say no one else was seriously
hurt, although the house was leveled
to the ground. Mr. McEver had repre
rcsented the county in the Legislature,
and held other offices of trust.
►Savannah News: At a meeting of
the Chatham Artillery on Wednesday
night, Capt. J. F. Wheaton, Sergeant
William Walker, Corporal J. R. Saussy
and Private A. H. Champion were ap
pointed a committee to draft a me
morial to be presented to Council, re
questing an appropriation to assist in
defraying the expenses of the company
to Boston, on the occasion of the Bun
ker Hill Centennial, which takes place
on the 17th of June. The Chathanis
are the oldest military organization in
the State of Georgia, and a more ap
propriate and honorable representa
tion could not be desired. Charleston
will be represented by the Washington
Light Infantry, who will carry with
them the identical flag which fluttered
at the head of their original command
at Eutaw and Cowpeus.
Elberton Gazette: It, will be remem
bered by our readers that we mentioned
not long since the capture of the negro
who committed murder at Hartwell
about Christmas Last week the mur
derer, who had been in jail for some
time, succeeded in releasing himself of
the shackles and chains with which he
was bound, and digging a way under
the foundation of the jail, made his
escape.
Atlanta Herald: The forty-three con
victs now in the hands of Mr. Geo. D.
Harris were leased on yesterday, to
Mr. John Howard, of Columbus. Mr.
Howard bid per head for them; a
pretty fair price. They will be put at
work cutting turnpike roads through
the country and making brick. There
were ten bids in for the convicts, the
prices ranging from sl7 per head to
S6O. Messrs. John T. Grant & Cos., did
not put in a bid, having “as many as
they wanted.” The Dade Coal Com
pany tried to get them but failed.
A GRASSHOPPER DELUGE.
►I he Flood-Gates of Heaven Opened to
Save Western Missouri—Millions of
t he Destroyers Destroyed.
Kansas City, May 27.—Raiu has
poured down in torrents almost inces
santly for the past twenty-four hours,
and still coming. Reports brought in
by trains on the roads running into the
city show that the rain has been gen
eral in every direction for over one
hundred miles from this point. Con
siderable damage has been done to
fences, railroad embankments and the
growing crops, the low lands being
flooded and washed out in locali
ties, but the greatest injury has
been done to the grasshoppers.—
Untold of the insects
have been destroyed by the flood.
They were washed into the gutters and
sewers of this city, and the streams in
this vicinity have been full of them to
day. The Missouri river, opposite the
city, is black with them, and the engi
neer of the railroad bridge reports that
there can hardly be any estimate of the
number that has floated past. There
is no question that the bulk of the in
sects in the vicinity has been destroyed
by the flood, and if it continues
through to-night, as there is every
prospect, there will be few left to trou
ble the farmers. In open fields the
ground in places is thick with grass
hoppers that have been killed by the
beating rain. The feeling of dread is
rapidly giving way to one of rejoicing,
and Governor Hardin will doubtless be
called on to issue a proclamation of
thanksgiving instead of one of fasting
and prayer.
Tweed’s Condition.— The warden of
Blackwell’s Island states that William
M. Tweed was examined recently by
three distinguished physicians, who
say that he is affected with heart dis
ease and an affection of the kidneys.
They did not express any fear of im
mediate danger, but thought that his
situation was sufficiently grave to justi
fy unusual consideration on the part of
the keepers Tweed is now allowed to
sleep out of his cell, for the reason that
iie has grown so stout that it is im
possible for him to get in the door of
one. Even if he could be squeezed in,
the bed with which each cell is pro
vided is too narrow for his bulky form,
and there is not room for a larger cot.
It is said that the grand jury, ia mak
ing their presentment, will recommend
that Mr. Tweed be allowed more privi
leges in consequence of his sickness.
A Milwaukee boy has swallowed half
a dozen steel buttons, and his mother
doesn’t have to scream for him when
he is out on the street playing with
those Cluckerson boys. She just brings
a magnet to the door, and he flies to it
like a needle to the pole.

[From our Regular Correspondent.]
CHARLErTON, May 29th, 1875.
The officials of this county are the
very incarnation of the law’s delay.
Six months ago the two negro mur
derers, Bunch and Hardee, were tried
before juries of their own race, con
victed of murder and sentenced to pay
tho just penalty of their crimes upon
the gallows. The Governor of the State
granted them a respite for two weeks,
but absolutely refused to interpose tho
Executive clemency to the extent of
commuting the sentence of either to
imprisonment for life, notwithstanding
the fact the entire political machinery
of the Radical party in the county was
brought to bear upon him. Prayer
meetings were held, at which the two
murderers were canonized even before
they had reached the foot of the gal
lows, and the Sheriff of the county, the
man charged with the execution of the
law, himself went to Columbia on Wed
nesday last, with a petition for the
pardon of the murderers. As you have
already been advised, Gov. Chamberlain
absolutely and unequivocally refused
to interpose and stay the execution, and
yet the execution did not take place,
the Sheriff putting in the plea that the
last respite granted by the Lieutenant
Governor during the absence of the
Governor was illegal, and the day fixed
by the Court for execution having
passed, the hanging would be illegal.
So that the men will again have a re
spite until the meeting of the Court
next, Monday, when both will probably
be re-sentenced. Your correspondent
called at the jail to see the persons yes
terday, and confesses himself some
what at a loss to account for their de
meanor. Bunch is a stout mulatto of
more than average intelligence ami
pretends to be perfectly resigned to his
fate. Hardee is a full-blood negro and
exhibits all the stolid indifference pecu
liar to his race. Both men were in a
large room on the first floor of the jail,
and when I entered were in the midst
of religious exercises which were be
ing conducted by three or four colored
clergymen, and which were attended
by over a hundred colored women.
Both men wore neat bouquets in the
button holes of their coats, the gift of
some admiring church member. I should
state that this religious meeting was in
anticipation of the execution which was
momentarily expected to come off.
Bunch sat on a bench with his arm
locked in that of a colored woman,
both singing from the same book, and
he seemed to enjoy the thing more
than any one in the room. When your
correspondent entered he arose with a
deathly smile upon his features, ad
dressed him by a name, extended his
hand, and inquired concerning his
health. To which I replied that I was
well, and asked him how ho felt.
“Never better, thank you, sir, never
better !” was his reply, with that same
deathly smile ; “I am ready to meet
Jesus, who is waiting for me,” and
then resumed his singing. Hardee
made substantially the same answer iu
reply to a similar question, but made
it in a surly and dogged tone, which in
dicated the true state of his miud. I
think that Bunch’s confidence and as
sumed bravery was insincere, for when,
a few moments later, the jailor an
nounced privately to him that the exe
cution would not take place, there was
a change in his smile, a sudden light
ing up of his face, which there was no
mistaking and which he tried in
vain to conceal. The execution will
probably take place in a fortnight,
as I am told that the Judge
will not postpone the sentence to a
distaut day. The entire sentiment of
the respectable portion of the commu
nity is in favor of the hanging of these
men. It is a notorious fact that during
the two years of Governor Moses’ ad
ministration pardons were bought by
the most hardened criminals. The very
carriage which Moses now drives was
given him for pardoning a murderer,
and things have come to this pass :
that the law affords no protection to
either life or property. Within the last
three years there have been no less
than eighty convictions for murder and
manslaughter in this county, and iu all
that time the gallows has been idle and
the doors of the penitentiary open.
Nothing will help Charleston but a
good dose of tho gallows, well and
promptly administered, and the quicker
it is administered the sooner will the
laws be respected.
Those Ku-Klux Persecutions.
The political crusade, began some
time ago by that immaculate and in
corruptible statesman, Joe Crews, and
directed against the respectable citi
zens of Laurens county, whom Crews
regards as his legitimate prey, has
come to an inglorious end, and Crews’
attempts to agaiu start his outrage
mill has met the fate it deserved. Dr.
Dendy, an aged and highly respectable
citizen of the county, was arrested
about ten days ago’ dragged into court
and put under heavy bonds to answer
an indictment for a murder alleged to
have been committed in 1870, when
Crews had manrged to stir up a fight
between the whites and blacks in his
county. The grand jury yesterday
promptly threw out the bill 'of indict
ment, and Crews is left floundering
with the wreck of his intended outrage
mill.
The Savannah Regatta
as your readers are probably by this
time advised is over, and ell the na
tional promises to pay which left Char
leston for the Forest city last week
have come fluttering back on the
balmy southwest breeze. Both the
rowing race and the sculling race
were won bj 7 the Charleston boatmen,
and the betting men of Broad street
are to-day offering to lend money to
their friends at a half per cent, less
than bank rates.

Another Railroad Project.
[Anderson Intelligencer.]
The Elberton Gazette has been in
formed that railroad men are agitating
the question of building a railroad from
the Pine House, on the Charlotte, Co
lumbia an 1 Augusta Railroad, to con
nect with the Atlanta and Richmond
Air Line Railroad, by way of the road
now building from Elberton to Toccoa
City. The object in view is to make a
connection by that route with the Great
Western and Seaboard Lines. It is
alleged that this would be one of the
cheapest roads for its length that can
be constructed, and that the grading of
the last twenty niles next to Elberton
would not cost more than one thousand
dollars per mile, while the remainder of
the route would average only a trifle
more. This is another link in the cor
don which is to environ Anderson,
while we are lying inactive and para
lyzed, allowing other communities no
more favored than ours in resources
and ability to distance us with their
energy and activity. We will arouse
from this unnatural slumber when it is
too late to retrieve the ground and re
gain supremacy as a business centre.
Death of Rev. A. H. Cornish.
Anderson Intelligencer: Wo are
pained to reeord the death of Rev.
A. H. Cornish, of Pendleton, which oc
curred at Newberry on Monday last,
after intense suffering for two weeks.
Mr. Cornish was a delegate to the
Episcopal Convention which met iu
Charleston on the L3th iust., and was
taken sick upon the cars when on his
way down, which compelled him to
forego the fatigue of travel and remain
over at Newberry, where he received
the kindest attentions and the best
medical skill. His sufferings were acute
and exceedingly painful until death
came to his relief.
“The Child had been Deposited by
Home Unknown Person.”
[Laurensville Herald.]
On Thursday night, 20th inst., about
10 o’clock, au infant (white male) was
discovered upon the premises and near
the residence of T. L. Badgett, Esq.,
residing about two and a half miles
from this place. • The child had been
deposited by some unknown person,
just inside the gate, about twenty-five
yards irom the residence. Mr. Badgett
was absent from home at the time re
ferred to, but his family expecting him
to return that night, were up later than
usual. To this cause, and to the cry
ing of the child, must be attributed the
discovery of the little visitor at so un
seasonable au hour. The child is ap
parently about a month or six weeks
old, and was cozily ensconced in a
small goods box, scarcely large enough
to hold the human lump. It was
very .neatly dressed, and wrapped in
a blanket and shawl, all entirely
new’. Care had been taken to protect
tho little waif from suffocation, each
end of the box lid being notched, in or
der to give sufficient ventiilatiou. Iu
short, the box, in tiie general make up,
bore unmistakable ear-marks of delib
eration and experience at such busi
ness, and undoubtedly hails from an
adjoining county. The child was im
mediately turned over to the County
Commissioners, who have made tem
porary arrangements for its mainte
nance. The little stranger, we are told,
appears quite hearty and seems
to be doing well. We append
the last sentence for the benefit of the
affectionate (?) mother. Since writing
the above we are pleased to aunounce
that Mrs. John Hairston, of Martin’s
Depot, has adopted the little unfortun
ate, and carried him home on last
Wednesday. This is more consolation
for the “doting” parents of the aban
doned “pledge.” In the meantime we
congratulate the little stranger upon
his ultimate good fortune iu failing
into kind and tender hands.
The same paper says : We regret to
aunounce the death of Mr. Benj. F.
Jones, which took place at his resi
dence iu the county on the 24th inst.,
after a protracted sickness of several
weeks. The deceased leaves a family
and many relatives and to
mourn his loss.

’Twasuaight. The world was hushed in
While still my spirit roved,
And sought mid fancy’s cavern deep
A gift for one I loved.
Twould seem I dream’d, for far away,
. 1° some bright land of song,
-Ay chainless spirit found its way,
And there I linger’d long.
It was indeed a beauteous spot,
So wondrous, passing fair,
My spirit never hath forgot
The scenes it ’joyed in there,
the sky above was clear and bright—
Undimm’d its lovely blue;
And Earth gave back its joyous light
In flowers of every hue;
And wind-liarps from each bough that hung
Sent forth sweet minstrelsy,
Whilst birds and breeze and streamlet sang
Their sweetest melody.
And now, thought I, I’ll gather here
A fragrant, rare bouquet—
An offering meet to Matthew dear
Ou this, his natal day!
The matchless flowers had scarce been torn
From off their parent stems,
A nosegay bright, and fair to form.
Inlaid with dewy gems;
When one by one they drooped and died,
As if to grief a prey;
And as they fell they sadly sighed
V e pass, we pass away!
I could have wept to see my gift,
Those blossoms pure and fair,
Whose sweets the bee so late had sipp’d,
Must lie forgotten there.
JSolia’s harp now swelled the air
With tones so sweetly wild,
My vanished spirit strove to hear,
Each cadence ere it died;
That strain was sweet, but oh, how sad,
Its gushings seem’d to say,
“The things that looked so bright and glad
With us, mu-L pass away.”
And so it was, for while I gazed,
E’en like that breezy lay,
The fairy land through which I’d stray’d,
Fass’d quietly away!
In fear 1 stood, for darkness now
Had thrown her veil around;
Nought could be seen above, below,
And hushed was every sound.
My soul was sad, for it hath seen
Bright things so full of mirth,
Like some delusive, brilliant dream,
Must pass away from earth.
But soon a stream of golden light,
Effulgent from above,
Made ail around seem fair and bright
And Idled my soul with love;
And far off melodies I caught,
Sweet liymnings so sublime,
Methought an angel’s breath had brought,
From Heaven some strain divine.
As nearer, nearer, came that sound,
More glorious glowed that light,
It made my ravish’d spirit bound,
And charmed my dazzled sight.
Before me stood a being bright,
m robes of purple clad,
Half veiled ’mid clouds of heavenly light,
A palm-branch in his hand;
And thus he spoke: “From realms on high
I’ve seen thy heart’s desire,
But, mortal, cast thy vain dreams by,
And look to something higher,
I know thou seek’st a gift of love
For him, my favor’d son.
Then hear this message from above—
’l'is sent from Matthew’s throne;
Go tell my son a friend on high
With ever jealous care,
Marks with a fond and watchful eye
His pains and trials here.
Bid him not waver ’ueath the cross,
Which Christ to him hath given,
For eve y pang and throb it cost
is registered in Heaven.
As He has seen bright hopes below
Fade like the Summer rose,
So shall each present grief and woe
Give place to calm repose.”
’Twas o’er, and of that vision bright
There lingered not a gleam;
Yet still my spirit, with delight,
Feels ’twas not all a dream.
