THE CONSTITUTIONALIST j
TUESDAY, July 20, 1875. ~
GEORGIA GENIIi A L N1 \\sT
The thermometer at Macon on Satur
day touched 102.
Mrs. Charles Schwarz, of Savannah,
died last Saturday.
Dr. Raiford, of Muscogee county, ate
a piece of watermelon on Saturday and
died that night.
The slaughter of badgeless dogs
commenced in Columbus yesterday.—
There is some less than ten thousand
of them.
Eatonton Press: Avery heavy rain,
with some hail, fell in this community
on Thursday evening last. The rain
was accompanied with much electricity.
Col. L. N. Trammell tells the Atlanta
Herald that with one more rain the
country north of the Chattahoochee
will make more corn than for the last
three years all put together.
A large number of Atlanta mechanics
have signed a pledge that they will not
patronize in any way or support for
public office any man who employs
negroes for labor of skill instead of
whites in his store, etc.
Brunswick Appeal: It was an
nounced, a short time since, by one in
authority and who ought to know, that
the affections of a fireman for his en
gine is as that for his wife; that he
sticks to her till he can find another
that suits him better, and now the
knotty question about here is whether
or not Beecher is a fireman.
We have been informed by a gentle
man who has recently traveled through
Mclntosh and Liberty counties, that
the corn crops are suffering very much
for rain. He says that several farmers
told him that they did not think more
than a half crop of corn would be made,
owing to injuries already received. He
says as a general thing, cotton is look
ing well.
The Yaldosta Times says that a negro
residing near that town was recently
missed, and two days after was found
dead in a gopher hole. He had evi
dently opened the hole with a spade,
which was lying by, and then attempt
ed to go down head foremost to cap
ture the gopher, and was unable to get
out, and hence suffocated. When found
his heels were alone visible.
The editor of the Meriv\ ether Vindi
cator must have had his bump to truth
fulness somewhat injured by the bird
that lit on his head. He tells this
story : “ Mr. J. C. Authony is reported
to have some corn that grew so rapidly
one night recently that the roots grew
around and held a rabbit fast that had
incautiously sheltered himself near
them the evening before.” If the ears
grow as readily as the roots this corn
certainly is the kind to plant.
The Newnan Ilerald has seen and
tasted some “ white blackberries ” from
the farm of Mr. Amos Persons, of Cow
eta county. They resembled our com
mon blackberry An everything except
color. The bushes, too, resemble the
common blackberry. They are very
plentiful on Mr. Persons’ place. We
wonder if the Civil Rights act had any
thing to do with this freak of nature ?
It would certainly be no harder to
make a white berry out of a black one
than to make a white man out of a ne
gro.
Atlanta Constitution: Last night a
negro named Nelson Love was knocked
in the head, and probably murdered by
a negro named Isaac Ivey. Love had
been suspecting Ivey of undue inti
macy with his wife for some time. Last
night he met the two walking together
on Wall street, near the bridge. As the
men met the woman ran away. Love
caught Ivey by the collar, charging
him with adultery with his wife, and
telling him he was going to carry him
before his wife and prove it. After go
ing a short distance a scuffle ensued,
in which Ivey picked up a rock and
struck Love a fearful blow over the
right temple, knocking him off the
sidewalk, and felling him senseless to
the ground. Love was taken to his
house, near by, bleeding from the eyes
and ears. Physicians say he cannot
possibly live twelve hours. Ivey was
arrested immediately after the occur
rence and taken to the guard house,
where he now is. The negroes in the
vicinity are greatly excited. Ivey is a
married man and has two children.
Rome Commercial: Mr. Geo. Lump
kin, of Cass county, Texas, and his son,
Mr. John R. Lumpkin, of Milam county,
of the same State, and both formerly
citizens of Floyd county, arrived. in
Rome on Friday night last to visit
their relatives. The father is 75 years
old, and has been in Texas more than
twentv-four years, and the son over
twenty-three. This is the first return
of both to their old home. These gen
tlemen inform us flfnt the crops of all
kinds are very floe ih Texas, and wheat
is exceediugiy fine, and that there
will probably be a surplus of
200,000.000 bushels made this year. Mr.
J. 11. Lumpkin says his corn crop is
“nearly matured, ready to be stripped
of the fodder, and will average about
•10 bushels to the acre. To show
Georgians what fine cotton tho Texans
cultivate, Mr. J. R. Lumpkin has
brought a stalk with him from home,
pulled up Tuesday last, the 6th inst.
This stalk is somewhere between four
and five feet in height, and contained,
when pulled up, 140 bolls, blooms and
forms. The bolls are very large and
well developed, and the cotton is
of the golden prolific kind, and
raised upon upland—the stalk be
ing a *fair average sample of a
hundred-acre farm, and will aveiage
about one bale to the acre. Mr. George
Lumpkin came to Floyd county in
1835, where he remained until going to
Texas. After an absence of nearly a
quarter of a century, he finds Rome
very much changed in appearance, and
sees but few people, comparatively, he
used to kuow. When they arrived at
the residence of Mr. E. R. Lumpkin, of
South Rome, on Friday night, coming
in on the Rome train, the two brothers
did not know each other from their per
sonal appearance. Mr. E. R. Lumpkin
says lie would have known his father,
but not ids brother. These gentlemen
say agriculture here looks like starva
tion, as compared to Texas. They like
that State far better than Georgia as
an agricultural country. While the
memories of Georgia are dear to them,
they have no inclination to return, ex
cept to visit their friends. We trust
the Messrs. Lumpkin will have a most
agreeable visit to their old home, and
that they may find many friends of
* ‘auld lang syne.”
Commodore Decatur’s Relics.—An
drew Jackson Decatur, grandson of
Commodore Stephen Decatur, died in
New York on the 11th ultimo. He left
a brother, Stephen Decatur, sisters,
Marico S. Decatur and Anna P. D. Par
sons, and John Decatur Parsons and
Susan Teneyck Parsons, minor children
of a deceased sister. In his will he
named John Parsons and Anna P. D.
Parsons as his executrix. He left his
sister, Mrs. Parsons, a spy-glass and
glass globes, “part of the spoils of the
first prize captured by an American
man-of-war.” To John Parsons, his
brother-in-law, he left his grandfather’s
Masonic medal, with instructions to
leave at the death of the legatee to St.
John’s Lodge, of New York city, unless
some member of the family other than
the legatee shall become a Mason
meantime. He leaves to his nephews,
William Decatur Parsons, two swords
bequeathed him by his father, John P.
Decatur, and to Stephen Decatur he
bequeaths a dressing case.
THE LATE EARTHQUAKE.
The Destruction in Columbia and Ven
ezuela.
The following private advices have
been received in New York from Mara
caibo respecting the late earthquake in
South America:
Maracaibo, Venezuela, June 21.—1n
my last letter I gave you the latest ob
tainable details of the terrible disaster
in Columbia and Venezuela. Those
who survive are completely ruined and
in want of the necessaries of life. The
latest and most careful estimates place
the number of lives lost at 14,000. The
greatest amount of suffering is in Cu
cuta. San Cristobal came to the
ground entirely, but there were not so
many victims. Urena was completely
destroyed, tjje walls falling in such a
manner that only six persons were
saved out of the entire population. To
give you the details of the disaster
would involve the telling of a never
ending story. A horrible putrid fever
is raging wherever the disaster ex
tended.
An unprecedentedly dry period pre
vailed before the earthquake, and just
as soon as the shocks ended a perfect
deluge of rain descended for a short
time. This was followed by a burning
sun, and the result is that decompo
sition set in, and the mass of human
and other bodies gave forth loathsome
effluvia, which soon ripened into a pes
tilence that spread death in every di
rection. Many persons who went to
the ruins to recover some portions of
their property, fell victims to this pu
trid fever. Among them was Senor J.
UrquiQaona, a large coffee dealer, well
known in New York from the character
of his merchandise. It was thought
that he had been burned to death, but,
having returned to the ruins for his
more valuable property, he was at
tacked by the pestilence and died.
The losses to the community of Ma
racaibo are very heavy. Some persons
lost property to the value of $400,000,
in gold. The total loss is estimated at
$10,000,000. In the communities which
have suffered greatly, the better class
of people, living in substantial houses,
were killed, while the poorer classes,
living in dilapidated or frame houses,
escaped. The result was that the vi
cious classes soon had full sway. They
pillaged and robbed, and were guilty
of other excesses until the authorities,
arriving with sufficient force, put a
summary end to all atrocities by shoot
ing the guilty parties on the spot. One
of the greatest of the evils inflicted was
the burning of the coffee warehouses at
Maracaibo by the thieves. Iu their
search for plunder they set fire to the
warehouses accidentally, itis supposed,
and 10,090 bags of coffee and a number
of thieves were burned. It is expected
that, as soon a3 the fever abates, the
survivors will return to their several
places of residence to look after their !
property. All the advices are very
gloomy, and it is expected that at least
one-quarter of the coffee crop has been
destroyed, The heavy rains finished the
ruin that the earthqake began.
Further Details of the Catastrophe—
Cucuta ltuined in Four Seconds —
Depredations of Thieves—Amounts
of Property Destroyed.
The following is the official report of
the Consul of Venezuela at Cucuta to
his Government in regard to the earth
quake :
Consulate of the U. S. of V enezuela )
in Cucuta, Maracaibo, V
May 31,1875. )
To the Minister of External Relations of
Venezuela:
Having returned to this city with the
part of my family that was saved from
the terrible catastrophe that occurred
on May 18. at San Jose de Cucuta, I
proceed to inform you of that awful
event, the consequences of which it
would be/lifficult to appreciate at this
moment, but which has produced a
lasting impression on my mind, and
left the most sorrowful recollections.
On Sunday, the 16th inst., at 5:20 p.
m„ the first movement of the earth be
gan, without any danger to the popula
tion. On the following day. Monday,
the 17th, at 5:20 a. m., another shock
was experienced, without any lamenta
ble consequences, however. But the
following day. Tuesday, the 18th, at
11:15 a. m., with clear atmosphere and
an ardent sun, the earth shook so rap
idly and so suddenly that in four
seconds the city was completely de
stroyed, not a single house, aud scarce
ly a single wall, remaining standing,
while beneath their ruins were buried
nearly 3,000 persons. Those who. by
the grace of Providence, had their lives
spared in that awful moment were
nearly asphyxiated by the dense cloud
of dust that covered us to such an ex
tent that we could not distinguish an
object at two meters distance, until
a violent gust of wind cleared the
atmosphere and enabled us to
respire pure air, and thus re
turn to life. A number of buildings in
the city, among them some apotheca
ries’ stores, instantly became ignited,
but a strong rain controlled the fire
somewhat. Then followed a series of
shocks for six successive nights, suc
ceeding each other hour after hour,
each shock being preceded by one, two
or three detonations very similar to
that proceeding from the explosion of
a piece of artillery of immense caliber.
So violent were these shocks that it
was necessary to lay on the ground,
aud, firmly grasping some other object,
thus prevent dangerous results. The
terror, as depicted in the countenances
the survivors ; the mourning and des
peration of husbands, wives and chil
dren, who, with the utmost anxiety,
solicited each other for sympathy and
tidings of the lost; the cries and groans
of the .victims expiring beneath the
ruins—this is a picture which the
most vivid imagination could not
describe. But the worst, of all
was the presence, within three
hours after that awful catastro
phe. which in its terror and pathos
would have reached the heart of a
hyena—of bands of thieves who, with
machete in hand, trod under foot the
bodies, and, deaf to the cries for aid of
the sufferers still under the ruins- these
men, a reproach to the human race,
ransacked the ruins for the gold that
the honorable labor of many years had
accumulated. The Colombian Guard
stationed in that citv, if they had been
inspired by philanthropic sentiments,
could have lent, by their character, im
portant services to the unfortunate in
habitants, saving many lives and inter
ests aud elevating the national senti
ment b’Jt with a conduct that I abstain
from’qualifying, thev took up their
inarch in twenty-four hours, by May of
Pomplona. Most of the merchants of
San Jose de Cucuta, were Venezue
lans. Such of these as did not
have their bodies under the ruins
of their homes and their widows
and children in mourning for them,
saw buried in the frightful ruins
the fortunes they had accumulat
ed. According to the advices obtained
from trustworthy persons who had left
the unfortunate place for this city up
to May 22d there had been destroyed
by the earthquakes the following Vene
zuela towns: San Antonio, Capacho,
Yariba, San Cristobal, Lobatera, Miche
lena, Colon, San Juan de Urena, and
Guaismos. Of the towns belonging to
Colombia the following were destroyed:
San Jose de Cucuta, Rosarto, Pueblito,
San Cayoteno, Santiago, Salazor, Galur
do, Arba, Chuiacota and Cucutella. —
The total value of the property lost at
San Jose de Cucuta is as follows :
Value of the buildings $2,500,000
Coffee and other products.... 2,000,000
Other merchandise 1,000,000
Jewels, furniture aud other
personal effects 1,500,000
Total $7,000,000
Accompanying this is a list of promi
nent persons who, according to trust
worthy advices, lost their lives at the
great earthquake of that day. In it
will be read the names of honorable
Venezuelans who contributed with their
intellects and their resources to the
progress of that city, and the develop
ment of agriculture and the national
commerce. I conclude these advices
under the most sorrowful impression,
bringing to the knowledge of the Min
istry of the illustrious American Presi
dent of the Republic, that the archives,
coat-of-arms, consular seal, and the
national flag remain buried in the ruins
of the city of San Jose de Cucuta.
I am, sir, etc., J. M. Catalan.
A LOST HEIRESS.
Rich, Educated, Aecomplislied and El
egant—The Belle of the Watering
Places Becomes an Outcast from
Society.
[St. Louis Republican ]
Ten years ago, in the home of an op
ulent gentleman in a Southern city,
there grew as promising a bud of wo
manly beauty as ever gladdened pa
rental hearts. The little Eva was a
bright blonde, with great blue eyes,
fair hair and cheeks that outrivaled
the most delicate tints of the rose ; her
features were such as the foam-born
goddess might have envied. And this
bud of beauty grew and expanded into
the full-blown flower of a surpassingly
beautiful womanhood. Every care was
taken in her education. No expense
was spared. In the most famous
schools of the land she received
such instruction as seemed best
designed to fit her for the high social
position to which her fond parents
hoped she was to attain. Her studies
finished in the best institutions of her
native land, she was carried to Europe,
where, during a sojourn of two years,
she was permitted to mingle in the
aristocratic circles to which her father’s
great wealth gained for her an entree.
Petted and courted on account of her
great beauty, vivacity and high spirits
wherever she moved, the spoiled beauty
returned to her own country only to
receive more profound adulation from
the gallant men who gathered in her
train of admirers. During a season
she vibrated between Cape May, Long
Branch, Newport aud Saratoga, at each
of which she was an acknowledged
belle. The approach of winter found
her back at her Southern home, where
she reigned a queen in the most fash
ionable society.
Among those who came to pay court
to the fascinating blonde, was one well
known in the community, as a gay,
handsome, dashing man, whose very
presence excited prudent mammas to
keep a vigilant guard over their daugh
ters. But what harm could come to
the much-traveled and thoroughly ex
perienced society young lady by a
harmless flirtation with the entertain
ing libertine? So she thought and so
thought her parental guardians. And
the flirtation proceeded. The months
passed on, and the flirtation had grown
to something worse. The spring-time
came, and the beautiful girl found her
self in a situation which necessitated
her entire withdrawal from socie
ty. Of course her condition could
not be hid from her parents.
Then came the confession the
grief, shame and bitterness which
ever follow the commission of sin. The
fair flower was blighted even in the
time of its most resplendent beauty.—
There was deep gloom and unutterable
grief overwhelming shame in the state
ly mansion which had before been
made glad by her presence, for she
was an only child and her parents were
rich. Anger succeeded to the grief.
Sternly and harshly those who had be
fore lavished so much tenderness upon
her, aud which had been so illy repaid,
bid their child go forth into the great
sinful world to become a loathed and
hated being. She had fallen, and must
descend to lower depths. The fashion
able resorts were to witness her re
appearance no more.
She left the city. In the gilded halls
of sin and shame in another city she
held her court as a sort of queen of the
demi-monde. True, her associates were
from another strata of society, but she
plunged boldly into the malstrom of a
fast life. A short time ago she was in
St. Louis, an inmate of one of the many
bagnios whose existence reflects upon
the fair reputation of the city. But she
had concealed her identity under the
guise of a fictitious name. But she wa9
recognized by some who had known
her in the old days when she was a dis
tinguished society belle. Her where
abouts became known to some
who had not lost all interest in
her fate. Pei haps, too, her parents
felt some little remorse for their harsh
ness toward the erring child, and con
nived at an effort for her restoration.
Letters were written to parties in this
city requesting their kind offices.
Meanwhile Josie, as she called herself,
was enjoying the unenviable reputation
of being a toast among the fast young
men about town. Whether or not she
became aware of the slight efforts
which had been set on foot with a view
of ultimately restoring her to the home
which she had abandoned, is not known.
But at any rate she took a sudden de
termination to leave the city, and de
parted for the West.
Her friends, who still had some faint
hope that she would weary of the life
she was leading and withdraw to the
seclusion of a quiet home, are now des
pairing of any such repentance on the
part of the gay cyprian. So begins
and concludes one chapter in the life
of a beautiful, elegant and accomplish
ed young lady, who was the sole heir
ess to an estate worth almost half a
million of dollars. How the next will
begin and how conclude we can only
surmise. Down, down, to the brink of
despair; then the sudden plunge into
dark river or the deadly paralysis of
morphia will close the career that be
gan so promisingly and ended so des
pairingly.
Fight of Priests Over the Saviour’s
Footprints. —Jerusalem is again agi
tated by sectarian dissensions. A cor
respondent writing from the Holy City,
under date of June sth, states that on
Ascension Day (old style) an encounter
took place between Greek and Arme
nian priests, who had been allowed by
the Latins to make use of a chapel be
longing to them, and built over what
is believed to be the Saviour’s foot
print. Some dispute concerning pre
cedence rekindled the hostility of the
rival parties, and soon the interior of
the chapel was turned into a battle
field. The priests fought up and down
the sacred edifice, uptil they were
separated by a company of Turkish
soldiers. Two Greek priests were
wounded in the fray, ami so eager were
the combatants that one of the soldiers,
in trying to restore peace, is said to
have lost his eye during the souffle,
The affairs of this kind which occur
periodically at Jerusalem, and from
which even the rnosj: sacred sanctuaries
are not spared, are regarded by the
Musulman population as doubtful evi
dence of tnat brotherly love for one
another which their Christian fellow
subjects profess.

Tlie Givex* and the Taker.
[The following is an attempt to versify a
liberal translation of a poem by the Hindoo
writer, Tinevaluva, who lived, it is sup
posed, in the third century of our era. He
was remarkable for his hatred of idolatry
and caste, and for his almost Christian con
ception of God and human duty.]
Who gives what others may not see.
Nor counts on favor, fame or praise,
Shall find his smallest gift outweighs
The burden of the mighty sea.
Who gives to whom hath naught been
given
His gift in need, though small indeed
As is the grass-blades wind-blown seed,
Is large as earth and rich as heaven!
Forget thou not, O man! to whom
A gift shall fail, while yet on earth,
Yea, to thy seven-fold birth,
Revive it in the lives to come!
Who, brooding, keeps a wrong in thought
Sins much, but greater sin is his
Who, led and clothed with kindnesses,
Shall count the holy aims as naught.
For he who breaks all laws may still
In Sivam’s mercy be forgiven;
But none can save in earth or heaven
The wretch who answers good with ill!

Kitson’s Patent Compound Opener Lapper.
THE cotton is spread on this machine from the bale, and is made into a very even
lap, at the rate of 300 to 400 pounds per hour. The laps are then finished on a
TWO-BEATER LAPPER,
WITH
KITSON’S PATENT EAENER
Attached, and owing to recent improvements in this livelier, the laps when ready for
the card, only vary one-quarter of an ounce to the yard. The cose of picking: by this
system is only about one mill per pound on the cloth produced, and the picker house is
safer from fire than the card room.
fisrThere is also a great saving of room and power over the old system.
These Machines may be seen at the mills of the Augusta Factory, Langley Manufac
turing Company, and at the best mi'ls at Lowell, Lawrence, Fall River, Manchester,
Lewiston, Providence, Richmond, Baltimore, etc., etc.
The following are a few among many testimonials which we have received:
AUGUSTA FACTORY, Augusta, Ga., July 5,1875.
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen: We have been running your Compound Opener Lappers and Finisher
Lappers, with Eveners, for more than one year, and frankly say that they have given
the most eminent satisfaction. We have no hesitancy in giving you our unqualified en
dorsement, and cordially recommend your Machines.
F. COGIN, Superintendent.

OFFICE LANGLEY MANUFACTURING COMPANY, I
Langley, S. C., April 14, 1873. )
The Kitson Machine Company, Lowell, Mass.:
Gentlemen: I have beeu running your system of Compound Opener Lappers and
Finisher Lappers, with Eveners, for more than two years past at the Cotton Mill of the
Langley Manufacturing Company, and have found it to work the most satisfactory of
any opening and picking arrangement I have ever seen. We la ive no weighed a pound
of cotton upon the picker apron since starting, yet we have had a remarkable regularity
of numbers. The staple is not injured by over beating, and it leaves the picker without
being curled or knitted; the seeding and cleaning is very complete. Over forty per
cent, in labor in this department is saved over the old system. One of the greatest con
siderations with this arrangement, is its secur ty against fire.
Yours, Ac., M. F. FOSTER, Superintendent.
