the fact was made known to the
sheriff.
The Superior Court had held till
2 o’clock the previous night to con
clude the trial of one of them, and
he was convicted of manslaughter.
University OF .Georgia.—We
have received a catalogue of this
noble old Georgia institution, for
the current year. This is its seven
tieth year, and the catalogue gives
evidence of its life and prosperity.
Two hundred aud fifty-six stu

uay stoppages, can now go around
the world in eighty days, making
the entire journey by railway and
steamship, and going by way of
Liverpool, the Suez Canal, Ceylon,
Singapore, Hong Kong, Yokohama,

Shropshire, of the Macon Tel
egraph, and that other purty fellow,
Harris, of the Savannah News, are
advertising each other extensively;
but it is not positively asserted that
they will be on exhibition at the
State fair. If they are they’re bound
to “draw”—provided some body
else will furnish the “straws.”
Another Democratic Platform.
The platform question is being
agitated in the Western States, we
believe more than any other section.
At the Montgomery county, (Ohio)
Democratic Convention, which met
on the 18th of May. Mr. Vallan
digliam, from the Committee on
Resolutions, reported anew Demo
cratic departure platform, intended
for the groundwork of a national
platform. The resolutions, which
were prepared by Mr. Vallandig
liani, declare “that thfcy unite upon
the living issues of the day, accept
the legitimate results of the war,
so far as waged for its ostensible
purposes, and fully concur in the
three several amendments to the
Constitution recently adopted, and
asquiesce in the same as no longer
issues before the country ; declare
that the Democratic party pledges
itself to the faithful and absolute
execution aud enforcement of the
Constitution as it now is, so as to
secure equal rights to all persons,
without distinction of race, color or
condition ; demand absolute equal
ity for each and every State in the
Union; oppose centralization and
the consolidation of power in the
general government; demand gen
eral amnesty; favor the payment
of the public debt as early as prac
ticable and consistent with mode
rate taxation, and call for strict
economy and honesty in all depart
ments of the Government; call for
refortn in ligernal Revenue system
and civil service; favor a strictly
revenue tariff, and declare taxation
should be based on wealth, not pop
ulation; demand a speedy return to
specie payment as possible ; sympa
thize with the laboring class, aud
state there is no necessary war be
tween labor and capital; oppose
the granting of public lands to rail
roads ; oppose the acquisition of
San Domingo; denounce the bills
passed by Congress known as the
Bayonet bill and Ku-Klux bill, and
claim that the Republican party is
no longer a“Union party, but the
Administration party.”
Mr. Vallandigham made a speech
in support of the resolutions, which
were adopted by acclamation.
Mr. Vallandigham is considered
one of the leadeps of the Western
Democracy. He was a conservative,
and called a ** copperhead” by the
Radicals during and since the war.
If he, being looked upon at the
North rather as an extremist, holds
these views, how far from reconcil
ation must be the sentiments of the
“moderate” democrats North, and
those of Hon. Robert Toombs, as
expressed and implied in his Augus
ta speech on Magna Charter?
And yet the fusion of all elements
of Democracy, and all shades of
politicians, who see the evil ten
dency of the Radical administration-,
is alone calculated to w r rest the gov
ernment from the guilty hands of
Radicalism —restore the confidence
of the people, and bring back peace
and contentment to our land.
We verily believe that Hon. Rob
ert Toombs holds the fate of Grant
and Radicalism in his own hands.
His voice but fans the dying em
bers of fanaticism into anew blaze,
and as he goes farther and farther
in the expression of his honest sen
timents, the fire leaps higher and
higher about the charred pillars
which support the temple of liberty.
While, on the other hand, his si
lence robs Northern fanaticism of
all its amunition, and insures victo
ry to at least a more conservative
element than that now in power.
This is our only hope. A pru
dent, moderate course on the part
of the former leaders of the South
—simply emulating the wise ex
ample of the immortal Lee —give
promise of the speedy overthrow of
fanaticism, and the restoration of
good government, with all its at
tendant blessings. If we noise
abroad the doctrine Qf Mr. Toombs
—no matter how true it may be—
we may expeet our children to grow
up under the yoke of radicalism;
with clouds so black as to obscure
the glimmering rays of hope which
light up the present.
Ex-President Jefferson Davis, ar
rived in Augusta on Tuesday last
and met with an enthusiastic recep
tion. Mr. Davis was prevailed up
on to make a speech ; and there was
a striking difference between his
words and those of Mr. Toombs,
who spoke a short time before.
Mark his words:
“ Though I must not speak, it is
no fear for myself which commands
my lips to be closed No; I have
been punished for my crimes, and
have experienced the worst which
could be imposed. In the cant lan
guage of the day, punishment with
me is “played out.” The worst
that can be done has been done,
and 1 have no more to fear. If I
speak it is not myself, but you who
would be injured, for, unfortunate
ly, additional wrongs can yet be
heaped upon you. Therefore if I
claim merit for anything, it will be
for keeping silent. My simplest
words may work you harm.”
These are the words of wisdom
and they are an “acceptance of the
situation,” to that extent which man.
hood and honor admit of. Gen Lee’s
life, since the war has taught the
same principle.
These honored men see a shorter
road to relief froni present misfor
tunes, than that pointed out by
Mr. Toombs, and their honored
heads come within the scope of his
terrible anathamas against those
who “ accept the situation.”
What is Thought of Our Town by
a'Stranger.
Some gentleman and Scholar, of
decided taste, has visited our city
and in a letter to the Augusta Chron
icle & Sentinel, thus speaks his
mind about us :
Cuthhert, Ga., May 12th, 1871.
Editors Chronicle cfc Sentinel:
Randolph county, of which this
beautiful town is the county site, is
considered one of the best in South
west Georgia, not only in the pro
ductiveness of soil, but in the intel
ligence and culture of its popula
tion.
It is generally conceded that the
health of this county, particularly
tlmt portion adjacent to Cuthbert,
is equal to that of Middle Georgia.
It is south of the latitude of Sa
vannah. The water is excellent, ow
ing to the absence of lime. A quar
ry of superior saad stone is now be
ing worked. It is equal to any I
ever saw in Northern Geprgia. It
is so fine that it would make excel
lent grind stones. *
There are two female colleges
here, Baptist and Methodist—both
well deserving the liberal encour
agement received from all parts of
the State, as well as from Alabama
and Florida.
The toVvn contains about 2,000
inhabitants, and is particularly no
ted for the taste displayed in the
stores and private dwellings. The
streets are well shaded.
The drug store of Dr. Powell
will compare favorably with those
of our own city, about the attrac-'
tions of which you occasionally brag
a little—perhaps not enough.
* * * * * *
Dr. Powell has attractions out
side of his store. Two lots of red
clover, as pretty as any in Virginia;
one lot has been growing five years
and is now in full bloom. No special
care or attention has been bestowed
upon these lots. That we can grow
red clover anywhere in Georgia is
now established. But ’tis difficult
to obtain good seed.
Cuthbert has many tasteful flow
er gardens, almost equal to those of
Columbus, where the roses bloom
more beautifully than any place I
ever saw. Two more railroads will
soon make their depots at this town,
These are now being rapidly push
ed to completion. The building of
these and other roads through this
section has absorbed much of the
labor. But still the planters do not
complain. The crops are generally
in good order, and, notwithstand
ing the cold, wintry spring, are
with few exceptions as forward as
usual.
Your Banner of the South and
Planters’ Journal is taken to a lim
ited extent only; but if you had a
responsible local agent, who would
let the farmers see specimen cop
ies, its excellence would soon bring
yo*u many subscribers.
The Cuthbert paper is an enter
prising sheet, and its present young
editor has not permitted it to loose
ground by the departure of Colonel
H. H. Jones to a journal of more
extended circulaton. Truly,
P. w.
—An important case in bank
■ ruptcy has arisen in the U. S. Dis
trict court of New York, in regard
to lawyers’ fees from bankrupts.—
As all the assets of a bankrupt be
long to his creditors, it is claimed
that he has no right to fee counsel
w 7 ith any of the proceeds of his es
tate, and that counsel, in receiving
such fees, take the place of debtors,
and may be sued.
—Col. E. Ilulbert has resigned
his position as General Superintend
ent jind' Superintendent of Construc
tion of the Brunswick and Albany
Railroad, and is now established in
Atlanta, devoting much time and
study to the subject of narrow
guage roads.
Hung. —Prince Albert, colored,
who killed young William Miller
at Starkville, some months aaro,
was hung in that pls.ce last Friday.
On the scaffold he confessed to hav
ing killed the young man, and ex
horted his hearers to love one an-,
other, and not to drink, but go and
pray. He appeared to be deeply
penitent, and said he was ready to
die.
A young lady of Bainbridge,
in New York State, made a bargain
with Curtis Cooper, some fifteen
years ago, whereby she was to have
a “ewe lamb and its increase until
she was 21 years old,” in exchange
for a gold watch key. She was bat
six years of age at the time, and
now sues Mr. Cooper for 18,0.64
lambs, or their value, which, at
four dollars per head, is $64,526.
The Office of the Southern Ex
press Company in Atlanta, was en
tered last Thursday night and rob
bed of about §15,000.
At the last term of Muscogee
Superior Court, the constitutionality
of the act of 1870, requiring in all
old cases an affidavit that taxes had
been paid, was argued at length.
Judge Johnson delivered a full and
able decision on the subject strongly
in favor of the constitutionality of
the act.
“Pans is France” has been
said often, and with the destruction
of this city goes the last vestige of
glory that France has won in many
wars, and with its demolition will
end the chapter of history which
lor centuries has been writing.
Madness, in a few months has un
done all that genius did in centu
ries.
Paris.
The following late dispatches from
this unhappy city, will give some
little idea of the awful state of af*
fairs existing there:
Paris, May 29, evening.—Al
ready there is a strong feeling that
the Paris Government is too weak
to last. The awful massacres con
tinue, In one ditch the wounded
were buried alive. They groaned
and shrieked dreadfully all night.
Vidal was shot—so was Faidherbe.
Forty thousand francs have been
found in the latter’s cellar—the
spoils of the Republic Mathew
Murcher, or e of the Commune, was
arrested and a hundred and fifty
thousand francs found upon him.
Okalowski was found wounded in
and ambulance and taken out and
shot. Milliere was arrested at Lux
embourg. He resisted violently and
fired six shots from his revolver;
but was taken to the Bteps and shot
by the Versaillists. At the barri
cades in y the Place des Fetes, a
number of the Insergents lost their
way and got mixed up with the
Versaillists, by whom they were
taken prisoners and fifty shot. The
troops still hold the mayoralties
and public buildings.
New' York, May 31.—A World
special, dated London, May 3lst,
says: To-day’s Paris advices says the
execations continue. Persons are
demanded as soon as they arc dis
covered in their hiding places and
are arrested and shot. Numerous
arrests of men and women contin
ue. There have been renewed at
tempts at assassination and arson.
Many of those executed yesterday
and to-day seemed perfectly crazy.
The effluvia from the bodies of the
dead fills certain quarters of the
city. There are abundant signs of
a speedy coup cTetat in the Assem
bly to depose of President Theirs
and summon Count Chambord to
the throne.
A court-martial has ordered the
use of metraileuses in case of whole
sale executions. Several war ships
at Cherbourg have been transformed
into bulks so: the imprisonment of
captured Insu'gents.
Paris will remain for some time
yet under military jurisdiction, but
communication with the city is now
unrestricted, and entrance and exit
are free to all. It is said the number
of prisoners now in the hands of the
Government exceeds fort y thousand.
The secret of the long strug
of the Paris Commune is explained
in the report that it had nearly iwo
hundred thousand men under arms,
of which force fifty thousand were
pretty good soldiers. Then, at the
beginning they bad to be driven out
of a line of regular forts, then from
earthworks and the Paris wall, which
is itself a fortification, and then
from their numerous and strong
barricades. Marshal MacMahou,
however, has, with about eighty
thousand men, proved equal to all
these difficulties, and in this strug
gle for law aud order has won his
brightest laurels as the greatest liv
ing soldier of France.
France —Versailles, May 28.
Among the hostages shot by the
Communists besides the Archbish
op, were the Apostic Pronothary,
the President of the Cour des Comp
tes and the Mexican banders, Jerk
er and Teutnills. The Versaillist
loss during the struggle was 2,8f15.
Paris, May 29.— Executions are
progressing at Camps de Mars, Park
de Mineax and Hotel de Villc. Fif
ty to a hundred are shot at a time.
Nearly every member of the Com
mune was shot almost immediately
after his capture. An exit from
Paris requires MacMahon’s pass.
The question of the day—ls
that her own hair ?

Vinegar Bitters are not a vile Fancy
Drink, Made of Poor Klim, Whiskey,
Proof Spirits an d* efiiHC Liquors, doc
tored, spiced and sweetened to picatie the taste,
called “ Tonics,” * k Appetizers.’* “ Restorers,” &c.,
that lead the tippler on to drunkenness and ruin,
but are a true Medicine, made from the Native
Roots and Herbs of California, free from nil
Alcoholic Stimulant*. They are the
GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER aud A
LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect
Renovator and Invisrorator of the System, carry
ing off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood
to a healthy condition. No pcrsgu can take these
Ritters according to directions and remain long
unwell, provi.bd their hones are not destroyed
by mineral poisoji or o 4 her means, end tho vital
orsrans wasted beyond the point of repair.
They arc a Gentle Purgative :*** well
as a Tonic, possessing - , also, the peculiar merit
of acting as a powerful agent in relieving - Conges
tion or Inflammation of the Liver, and of all the
Visceral Organs.
FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, whether
in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of
womanhood or at the life, these Tonic Rit
ters have uo equal.
For Inflammatory and Chronic Rliru
nratism an if Gout, Ryspepsia or In
digestion, Bilious, Remittent and
Intermittent Fever*, Diseases of the
Blood, Liver, Kidney* and Bladder,
these Bitter* have l>een most successful. Such
Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood,
which is generally produced by derangement of
the Digestive Organ*. *
DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION,
Headache, Pain in the Shhuldei s, Coughs, Tight
ness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour Eructations of
the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious
Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of
the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and
a hundred other painful symptoms are the off
springs of Dyspepsia.
They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the
torpid Liver and Bowels, which render them of
unequalled efficacy in cleansing the blood of all im
pnrities, and imparting new life and vigor to the
whole system.
FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions,Tetter.
Salt Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples. Pustules,
Boils, Carbuncles, Ring-Worms, Scal’d Head, Sore
Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch, Scurfs, Discolorations of the
Slcin, Humors and Diseases of the Skin, of what
ever name or nature, are literally dug up and car
ried out of the system in a short time by the use of
these Bitters. One bottle in such case‘3 will con
vince the most incredulous of their curative effect.
Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its
impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples,
Eruptions or Sores ; cleanse it when you find it
obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it
when it is foUl,and your feelings will tell you when.
Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system
will follow.
PIN, TAPE, and other WORMS, urking
in the system of so many thousands, are effectually
destroyed and removed.
