May 12th, 1871, f
Uok. Rcfus B. Bullock Governor of Ga :
Fib—l*tn a Democrat. I believe that
too and your party are fast driving the
ship of »he State to ruin. I would not
therefore, willingly and wantonly furnish
_ oa with a sword to stab my party, which
] conscientiously believe to be the only hope
c f the conn try. Political motives would,
therefore, prompt me not to write this letter.
But a great crime has been committed.
fellow mortal has been hurled, without a
moment’s warning—with his sins all fresh
t pon him —into the presence of his God by
the hand of one to whose footsteps the
highways of crime are familiar, and under
circumstances which constitute the crime a
murder. My duty to the memory of the
murdered dead—to the lacerated feelings;
the torn and bleeding hearts of the surviv
ing iclatives of the deceased—and more
than all, that higher and holier duty we all,
to the vindication of violated law and
outraged society, ontweigh all motives of
a political nature, and prompt me to make
the following statement and request.
On last Saturday (the 7th of thin month)
one Marcus A. Fllisou—who says he is the
panic man for whose apprelrensibn a reward
of a thousand dollars was paid, for the
Binder of a negro in Walton county some
time ago, (since yon were in office) and who
was tried and acquitted for the offense last
year, I think—shot and killed Thomas M,
Cuulter, in this county, under circumbtan*
ecu of great coolness and deliberation. It
was a political quarrel, as the accompany*
ing extract from the testimny before the
committing court shows. The murderer/ is
one of my party, the murdered man of yours.
Tbe murderer has been arrested and tried
before two magistrates one of each pasty,
ami has been commuted to jail and is now
in jail at th : s place. The evidence (see ex
tract) has a tendency to show that the man
•,sa Ku -Klux, and it ia the general opirnou
of all who witnessed the dogged indiffer
ence to his fate, manifested by him on the
committing trial and while under arrest
that he is connected with some band of or*
ejunizod outlaws that he feels will come to
relief.
Almost every man who has been put in
ourjiil since the surrender, on any serious
charge, unless he was a negro, has been
b okeu out or has gotten out in some way.
h lias not been six months since a man was
put in it on a charge of assault with intent
to murder, and a band of disguised men
came at night, demanded and obtained the
key to the jail from the jailor, and turned
him out in less than three weeks from his
committal.
I have no idea that this prisoner will
remain in our jail til’ our Court, on the last
Monday in August next. I therefore most
respectfully suggest that your Excellency
order his removal to the ot
some other safe place for safe keepuig.
Tour Excellency has a precedent for such
xcourse set you by Governor Brown in a
noted case.
I am a brother-in-law to the prosecutor,
who was a brother to the decased, but 1
»ro not related to tire deceased, nor was be
alihe time of his death on speaking terms
w’ulune. I refer you for information in
r og'WA vo me to our Solicitor General,
Colonel i orsytb, and to Jndge Havey. I
*ni counsel for the prosecuton.
Respectfully,
D. C. Suttov.
P. S.—Wc want no troops here. They
would aggrevate and make matters worse,
Bat what we want is that the mau should
he removed to some safe place until court.
The civil laws are ample if we can only
tap the man here. D. O S.

Executive Department, 1
Atlanta, Ga., May 20, 1871. j
D. C. Sutton, Esq., Attorney at Law, La-
Fayette Court House, Walker County
Georgia :
Sir lam in receipt of yoor communicas
lion of the list inst., forwarded through
Solicitor General Forsyth, from Rome, un
der date of the 18th instant, wherein you in
form me that a prisoner ba*-keeu commit
ted to tjbe Custody of tlio S&evtfFof Wither
county, charged with the crime of murder,
after the proper preliminary proceedings,
before the magistrates, and that yon have
fears the prisoner '"ill be unlawfully taken
from the Sheriffs custody aud set at liberty,
and for this reason you suggest that I issue
an Executive order for the removal of
that prisouer to the penitentiary or some
other place for safe keeping. You also
inform me that I have ‘a precedent for such
a course, set for me by Gov. Brown in a
noted case.’ You further advise mu in a
postenpt that you want no more troops,
that “they would only aggravate aud make
matters worse.’
The above are the material points pres
sonted in your communication, but in the
opening paragraph of your letter you write
as follows :‘lam a Democrat. I believe
that yoU and your party are fast driving
the ship of the State to ruin. I would not,
therefore, willingly or wantonly furnish
you with a sword to stab my party, which
I conscientiously believe to be the only
hope of the country. Political motives
would therefore prompt me not to write this
letter.*
Now the impression necessarily created
by this paragraph from your letter is that,
your reporting to me officially in your capa
city as an attorney-at-law the fact that
you have iu custody of the Sheriff a prison*
er who is charged with murder, and that
iu your opinion there is danger that other
persons smpathizing with bis crime wills
by force, take the prisoner from that cus*
tody, must necessarily be understood and
accepted as cause for discredit to the po«»
litical organization known as the Demo
cri party. In other words, that by so
reporting, you furnished me with ‘a sword
to stab your party,’ a party which you be
lieve to be the only hope of the country,
and that, therefore, your political opinions
would prompt you to withhold the report. •
Upon this point, I would respectfully,
suggest-—-and I doubt not but that upon
reflection you will agree with roe—that in
this yon do the Democratic party grave in
justice. I belong to a political organization
known as ‘the National Union Republican
party,’ or in other words, I am a Republi
can, but I do not believe, nor so far as my
knowledge extends, do my political assso
ciates believe that the par ty opposed to ns
is made up of or, as a party snould be
held responsible for the wrong doing or
every scouodrei who violates the law
and then seeks to shield himself from its
penalties by claiming to he a Democrat.
On the contrary, we believe, as we claim fo r
ourselves that the majority of those mak*
ing up the Democratic party in this State
are of the most wealthy, intelligent and
law abiding citizens, and it is unfortunate
for the reputation o! our State as a body
of lawabidiug people, that a gentle man oc
cupying tbe important position in one of the
most desirable counties that yon do, should
arrive at the enormous conclusion that the
misdoings of bad men can be used, even
figuratively, as a sword wherewith to stab
the party which you conscientiously believe
to be ‘the only hope of the country.’ Hope
less indeed would be the country if its only
dependence were upon a party that would
shield the man who commits a murder be
cause his victim had the temerity to speak
well of the President of the United States,
Your report is that you are fearful that
a man who boasts of having been appre
hended under the influence of a reward of
one thousand dollars; charged with com
mitting a murder upon a negro for which
crime ha was tried and acquitted;and who
has now openly aud publicly, as you re
port, committed a murder, will not be al
lowed to remain in the custody of the high
Sheriff of the county to which the crime
was perpetrated, and to whom the piisoner
has been delivered by the order of the
magistrates, and that therefore it is neces
sary that the prisoner should be transfer
red to some other county jail, or to the
penitentiary. You do not assert that there
is any want in your couuty of the neoessa
r *"d usual jail buildings ..4 other mmm

BAINBRIDGE, GA., THURSDAY, JUNE 8, 1871.
you believe will relieve him, because the
prisoner is a Democrat, and is supposed to
be a Ku-Klux, and that almost' every man
who has been put in year jail since the
surrender on any serious charge, unless he
was a negro his been broken out or goti
ten out in some way. Now sir, as yon,
being a lawyer, are well aware.it !• not
only the .privilege under the law, bulfbfe
duty, of the Sheriff to summon any oumbelt
ot the good and law-abiding citize£g.£sj
-VftU t county- to aiJ JHm, when e»oeesatj(|‘
in the,performance of ft is official duty,'and
that it is the duty of the Ordinary to pro •
vide for the necessary expenses incurred
in that counection; therefore, until this
effort to enforce the law has been made
and fails I am unwilling to admit that there
are not a sufficient number of good citizens
in your county ready and willing to re
spond to the call ot the Sheriff for assis»
tance in holding for trial the mau charged
with this murder. To accept the contrary
opinion wonld be to assume that the good
citizens of this county of Walker sympa
taize with and were ready to assist in or
permit the release of a murderer because
that murderer was believed to be a Ku-
Klux. and is, as you report, a member of
the Democratic party, and the man who
lost his life was killed because he 'bad said
something iu Grant’s favor,’ which the
murderer did uot like.
.1 do not believe that you and other con
troling citizens of Walker bouhty will ever
allow it to be said that, a man may be
murdered, iu your county because he is a
supporter of the National Administration,
and that the murderer either be permitted
or aided to go abroad, untried and unpuu*
ished.
In urging me to take a course that would
in effect admit this, you cite as a precedent
the action of Governor Brown at some date,
not named, during his administration.
While the civil administration of Governor
Brown was one that reflected great credit
upon himself, and would necessarily add to
the popularity of any one of his successors
who might be fortunate enough to equal it,
still I feel confident in believing that Gov
ernor Brown, were be in my would
never consent to assert by his action a
want of confidence in the people of Walker
county, as I should do were I in this case
to act, upon the precedent to which you
refer me, and order this prisoner to be re
moved beyond their control..
With your suggestion, that no troops are
needed in your county, that their presence
would only aggravate and make matters
worse I heartily concur. The military arm
of the National Government, without mar
tial law to make it effective, has no terror
for evil doers, aud can prove no protection
to peaceable citizens. The presence of
troops uuder such circumstances would
necessarily aggravate and make worse a
condition of affairs wherein good people
were trying to maintain and uphold the au
thority of civil law, and were assailed by
bad men who sought to preate sympathy
for themselves by assuming to be members
of a favorite polilitcal organization. The
presence of United States soldiers under
such circumstances, without authority to
apt simply serves to encourage the assassin
by the freedom from their arrest, which be
feels even when he strikes down the citizen
iu their very presence for speaking well of
the President, their Commander-In-Chief.
For the reasons herein stated, I must de*
cliee to accede to your suggestion, and
shall hope and believe that when you and
tbe Sheriff call on the good citizens of your
county to aid you in holding you prisoner
for trial that you will find them ready and
willing to respond promptly and efficient*
iy.
Very respectfully,
RUFUS B. BULLOCK.

“LOG CABIN THOUGHTS.”
Lonely from, my cabin window
I’m watching the moon and the stars,
Looking anon at my baby ,
Who i» Vesting in Mofpheu’s arms.
1 efnvy my boy’s quiet slumber,
His rSvel in land of dreams,
Ab weary I sit by the windows,
and watching the gftfM,
Wafting a prayer that his future,
Be placid and calm as he seems,
That Mothpr be spared to guide footsteps
As to manhood he’s borne on life’s stream.
I envy nobody their riches,
My wealth is my baby boy ;
To mother his worth is countless,
Pure gold without alloy.
Ere sleeping when good-night, he whispered,
He asked,* “what is the moon ?
“Is it God’s eye, Mamma, looking on us ?
“Can he see us here in this room?
“Talk to me of the moon and of heaven,
“And the stars we see off afar ;
“Say, Mother, if when I’m an Angel,
“Think you, God will give me a star ?”
The sweet prattler boy set me thinking,
As sitting to night all alone;
Though I’m far from the world in my cabin
Ever near me is that all-seeing One.
Who will guide m« through, for the asking
To those Heavenly portals above;
Where ne’er again shall w« sorrow.
Or be parted from those we love.
Teach, teach me, O, Father ! to trqpfc iq Time,
To mind not my altered lot—
[j; love and humility lead me.
Where hope and joy dieth not.
May I feel though my home is a cabin,
Though worldly riches have fled ;
That above I’ve a mansion in Heaven,
When lqw I am laid with the dead.
In patience and meekness awaiting
The will of the God I love,
Let me find content in mv cabin %
Until called t@ my borne up above.

The Pittston Catastrophe.
The file in the Pittston mines, it is sup
posed, was occasioned by friction in the
hoisting apparatus in conception with
gaseous exhalations from ttye mines.
STATEMENT OF 4 BPSVIVOR.
Marlin Cox, one of the miners who was
taken out alive, makes the following state
ment. We went in at 7a- m. My brother
Robert cut through from one fiir«way to
another and turned in gas. and six miners
came out with hipi* Before their shift was

the fire, and seven came op to the top five

Tbe first intimation we had of the fire was
a sound through the mine as if there was an
explosion of gas, An English miner said
there was fire. We were theu working
about fifty yards from the bottom of the
shaft, on the west side: I •*«*» to tbe
bottom of the shaft, and saw the fire com
ing down;*ran back to my comrades and
told them ‘We are all lost, tbe shaft is on
fire.’ We were seven in all.
We then ran to the foot of the shaft, and
the turning timbers were coming down;
throw on water to put out the fire, and the
smoke became 90 intense that we were
nearly suffocated —Volumes came dowo
the shaft and filled the place. We then ran
to the west side ill the 4‘ rect * on

doors with eleven others, making eighteen
altogether in that place. The smoke came
in upon us so badly that we gathered up a
gob of fine stuff from the track, and pi as
tered up the cracks of the door, and also e
stuffed coals in the boles, which stopped th
smoke for some time. We now had time
for thought and reflection. No ope expec

Execution of Eacker at Fonda, N. Y.—Closing
Scenes of His Life—His Execution—His Obime
and" tije Trivial Cause of it.
The Crime of Eacker was the result of a grudge
of fiva-years’ standing which he held'against Thos.
Burdick, his victim. The latter had also refused
to refund the stakes of a bet, amounting to but
$5, and this was the immediate cause of th«j mur
der. Eacker seems to have been a sullen, igno
rant and vindictive man, who nursed revenge,
and who hoped to escape punishment on account
of the result of the Sickles, Cole, and McFarland
trials. On the 4th dajr of July W H- rod* fire
miles from his farm to St. Johnsvi le, where Bui
dick taught school prepared with a pistol, end
apparently made the trip with the determination
to commit the deed. He met Burdick in the bar
room of a hotel during the evening, and shot him
in the midst of a crowd. Ibe trial was held in
.April; the defense was “insanity.” While tbe
jury were out agreeing upon a Verdict, Eacker
tried to commit suicide by throwing himself from
a gallery in his prison, and he subsequently made
a second unsuccessful attempt tq kill himself.
RIS LAST NIGHT.
Eacker did not sleep until after 2 am., and
slept till six. Breakfast was served at seven.
He was then asked by a gentleman, “Do you
admit the justice of tfip penalty you are about to
suffer ?” and replied, “No I don't ; but I must
submit.’’
PARTING WITH HIS FAMILY
At ten the prisoner took farewell of his family.
The scene was very affecting, and ho was moved to
tears. The arrangements were now completed,
and the prisoner was arrayed for his last scene on
earth. He again said he did not acknowledge the
justice of his penalty, but in answer to a question
said he would prefer death to State Prison fprlife
He wa«d he yqw glad he had failed in his attempt
at suicide, and felinowbetter prepared to go. A
flippant wretch who %aa present said, “Charley,
do you think hanging a paiuful death ? I don’t
think it is.’
Eacker replied, ‘You have never been hung yet
The ehaplain of the jail immediately said, ‘I
protest agajpst such questions as frivolous and in
human.’
INSIDE THE JAIL
all was quiet, and they waited the signal to march.
The reporters were ready to note the last event,
apd the crowd was impatient to hear that the thing
was done,. The soldiers who guarded the fence
sought an opportunity of peeping through the
cracks. The roof of a shed near by was crushed
in by its human weight.
At one o’clock the procession started, led by the
Sheriff and prisoner, and followed by the clergy.
BENEATH THE SCAFFOLD.
The prisoner walked firmly, and y/aa not dis
mayed at the eight of the black scaffold, beneath
which he took his seat beside an elegant casket
Praver was offered by the Kev. Mr. BtarKS. of the
the Methodist Church, and the death warrant was
read, after which the Sheriff asked if the prisoner
had anything to say why the sentence should not
be executed; H« replied in his usual thick way
Q f speaking, mumbling s „
“Tie sentence of the law. I submit.
As the Sheriff pnt the cap on him, he said :
“Don’t put that cap onme ; I want my spirit
to go up like a butterfly.”
Tint execution.
At ten minutes past one the rope was cut. He
diedensily and without a struggle. While the
body was hanging, District Attorney Baker took
up a collection for the bereaved family. After
twenty-one minutes, the body was low
end and an inquest held, after which it was de
livered to his friends for burial.
