COMMUNICATIONS on subjects of public interest, solicited from all parts of the country. A Wrangle. The two Cuthbert papers have had quite a wrangle of late. Haw tell accuses the pro prietors of the Democrat of being Swayzeites, or in other words, of having their paper printed by that worthy in Macon. The Democrat partially denies this charge. Os course we are not prepared to say whether it is true or not, but if it is, we join with the Appeal in denouncing any modus ope randi by which the Southern people should place money in the coffers of a notorious interloper, and thus furnish him the means with which to gr ind out slander against the people by w hom he is being enriched. We like the proprietors of the Democrat and ’consider them clever gentlemen, and men of true Southern principles, but gentlemen for the sake of Southern honor, have no connection with such a man as Swayze. Monument to an Incendiary. It is reported says the Winchester Times : “That the admirers of the famous John Brown are quietly taking steps for the erec tion of a monument to his memory, if a •suitable site can be secured at Harper’s Ferry or Charlestown.” We can hardly believe the fact, that there are men or women, who would con tribute to such an unholy enterprise. If there be, then we must conclude that our race are capable of descending lower into depths of shame, disgrace and degradation than one could ever conceive of. A monu ment to perpetuate the man felon is some tlimg, the mere mention of which causes the to rim cold in our veins. And the people who would attempt such villainous work should be whipped naked through the .land, with a lash of scorpions. fin porta ut. The Wax* Department has just published op-nirm-rd the Supremo Court of the United States, for the information of State courts to issue a writ of habeas corpus for the discharge of a person held under the authority, or claim, or color the authority of the United States, by an officer of the -government, when that fact appears upon application for the writ, or to continue pro ceedings under the writ when issued, after the information in this respect has been given in the return of the writ by the officer having the custody of the prisoner. The Florida Muddle. The contest which lias for some time been irking oil between Iteed and Day, the two disput.mfcs for gubernatorial honors in Flor ida is just about w here it started. The Su preme Court decided that the Senate alone had the right to say whether o\* not Harri son Heed is Governor, one justice, however, from the opinion of the court.— The Senate adjourned without taking ac tion in the matter, and the muddle is about os'badly stirred as over. Tl»e Best Market. A correspondent of the Atlanta Constitu tion speaks thus of Albany as a cotton mar ket : Aside from this, Albany was the best in land cotton market of the State last season. We speak by the record With all due deference to the opinion of the said correspondent, and, according to him the knowledge of how to read “ the record,” we must at the same time ask our friend Frank to shove out his best quota tions before we give in to his city in that particular. Bullock's Whereabouts. The Atlanta correspondent of the Savan nah Xeics, States that Bullock is in Canada, near the line of which he has been hiding for some time. He writes letters to people in Atlanta, and sends * them first to his friends in New York city, where they are dated and mailed as if written in that place. The Favorite. The Boston Advertiser, speaking “by the card,” as it were, states that it is informed in quarters which must be considered au thoritative. that the nomination of the Cin cinnati- Convention is to fall on Charles F. Adams ; that he is the favorite of the East,' ’’the favorate of the West,’ and ’the favo rite of the South.*” From Cincinnati. The latest from Cincinnati reports the Coijventuin in quite an undecided condi tion, though it is thought that Judge Davis will be nominated. GEOKGIA NEWS. ! The Be stern end of Tift’s Bridge, across 1 tbe river itt Albany, Lai; given away. \\. B. C. Holton, who killed Mr,. Tyas, aC Camilla last week, and was lodged in the Al— bany jaii, to await trial, was released under writ of habeas corpus on Saturday last, giv ing bond in the sum of seven thousand dol lars. . The father of Coi. C. T. Ames, the well known show-man, who was murdered at Dawson, 1870, has removed the remains of his son to Syracuse New York. A Dolly Varden Base Ball Club has been organized in Milledgeville. It is said that Miss Dolly Varden is cer tainly the P. G. in G. Col. C. W. Howard has declined his ag ricultural and immigration mission to Eu rope from the belief that he is physically unable to attend to it properly. The sums deposited will be immediately returned to the contributors. Gen. Joseph E. Johnston is writing a his tory of his campaigns during the war. Olive Logan has been lecturing in At lanta. A male school-building will shortly be erected in Cuthbert. Randolph county is scarce of cottonseed. Mr. W. H. Wiltberger a prominent citi zen of Savannah, and proprietor of the Pu laski House, is dead. A German committed suicide the other day in Savannah. The Atlanta Sun of the 26th says : The State Road, yesterday, delivered twenty one car-loads of railroad iron to the At lanta and Richmond Air-Line Railroad. Probably this identical Iron will form a track over which many excursions will go to the falls and mountains in North Georgia, in less than two months. The appearance of a farmer in Talbotton the other day with five thousand dollars in greenbacks in his hand caused almost a stampede to see him. Everybody wanted to shake hands with him, and some fell on his neck and wept, claiming him as their “long lost brother.” The names of the following young gentle men, from Georgia, are enrolled on the cat alogue of the University of Virginia: “Theodore Atkinson, Meriwether county; Charles Bartlett, Montcello ; Walter Charl ton, Savannah ; Moses Emanuel, Talbot county; laUS Fielder, Cuthbert; Samuel Hatcher, Columns; Lewis Hicks, Rey nolds ; Walter Jone*, Thomasville ; Julius Mathews, Bamesvillle; Joseph Printup, Rome ; Edward Washburn, fcU v annah. In all there are eleven.” The negroes of Washington never leam that they can’t kill one another by hitting on the head with smoothing irons. It is thought that Mr. Farris, of Ameri cus, will receive the reward of one hundred thousand dollars offered by the Legislature of New York for an improvement on canal boats to be used on the Erie CSiSftl. In LaGrange on Sunday night the shoe and harness shop of J. B. Hall & Cos., of that place, an iron safe taken out into the street and pounded open with noise enotigli one would suppose to wake a colored troop, and $75 besides notes and papers taken out. The policemen must have slept, c^qudly A. St. Clair Abrams will start anew daily paper in Atlanta in a few days. It will be published on the co-operation bv ojj association of printers, v ‘ Col. Luther J. Glenn has been nomina ted for the Legislature, to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of Ca.pt. Jackson, of Fulton county. Blakely has had some bad boys before its mayor—city treasury enriched sl2 50. Cuthbert avers that her young, people should not keep f rach late hours. “The following is the only original para graph. in the Blacksliear Georgian last v ’eek : “Our friends will place us under ob ligations by furnishing us news items from their respective neighborhoods. Send in the facts, and will be responsible for their proper arrangement.” The Georgia Baptist Convention held its session in Macon last week. It was largely attended. The Albany Central City speaks very cheeringly of the crop prospects in that sec tion —thinks the present will be an excellent crop year. A project is on foot to build a railroad from Louisville, in Jefferson county, to some point on the Central Railroad. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. ATTENTION.

Ord"rv. May 1 1872-46-lt ' GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS, Fe«atnr Superior Court. APRIL TEEM 1872. Y> e, the Grand Jurors chosen and sworn for the first week of the April Term 1872 beg leave to make the following Present ments : V> e have examined the Poor House through Committee and find the house in good condition, the farm under good state of cultivation, the inmates as comfortable as could be expected, being well provided for. We do not deem it necessary to re commend anything in regard to the abolish ment or continuation of the Poor House system as we think it best to await the ac tion of the county Commissioners thereon. We have tin rough a special committee, ex amined the jail and Court House, and find the new addition to the jail unsafe, and re eoininend that the cells be ceiled with good thick plank. The guttering is in bad order and we recommend that it be. repaired. Upon examining the Court House, we find' that the guttering is out of repair, some of it having fallen entirely down, we therefore recommend its being repaired immediately. The plastering in the Grand Jury roorq has fallen off in several placefe a%d some of: the blinds neod ( repouv Withtfy- the Court-House is in a good condition, For the comfort of the Petit Jurors, we recommend that the benches occupied by them be cushioned, the style, &c., to be left discretionary to the county Board of Com missioners. We are informed that some of the roads and bridges in the county are in a bad condition, and recommend that the County Commissioners in whom we have implicit confidence have said roads put in repair as soon as possible. Wfi recommend that the County Com missioners assess per centum upon the Taxable property of the county sufficient to liquidate the present indebtedness of the county, and. defray the expense thereof for the current year. In consideration of the fact that there has been a Board of Com missioners, appointed, whose duty it is to examine the Books of the ordinary, Sheriff, and County Treasurer, Tax assess or and Collector, and the amount of urgent busi ness before the body, we have thought pro per to leave the examination of the books •entirely with the County Commissioners, and request them to make a report to the Grand Jury at the adjourned Term of this court. ■ The last Legislation passed an amend mc nt tot,he Free School law making it obliga tory upon this body to appoint a County Board of Education and to fix the compen sation of the same. We have therefore minted upon said Board of Education Messrs H. Dickinson. R. G. Chesnut. R. E. Whigam, R. VV. Davis and S. S. Mann Messrs Davis an-’ Mann for four years, and Messrs, Chesnut, Vhigham andDickinso n for two years, and recu mmend that their compensation be $2,00 pci day each when actually employed. A recent act of Legislature of Georgia creating a country court in certain counties in said State left it discretionary with the Grand Jurors, summoned for the Spriug • Term 1872 of their respective counties to determine whether or not such a court was necessary and beneficial, and if so to re same. After an sucll it our duty to recommend *- - court be created in our county. We have not had sufficient time to ex amine all of the different Justipes of the: Peace’s Books in the county, but those that we have examined we find neatly and prop erly kept. We have examined the office and Books of the Clerk of the Superior Court, and we find the office neatly kept, the books are unsurpassed for neatness, reflecting much credit upon the efficient Clerk. We recommend to tbe Hon. P. J. Stror zier, Judge Presiding, that owing to the fact of heavy fains so retarding, the planting interests of the country and believing it to be essential to the general welfare of the same that he adjourn the court on the 27th day of April until such time as he may designate. We recommend that the Sum of $2,00 per day be paid to each juror. We recommend to the General Assembly to pass a general bill embracing all pay for regular and extra duties performed by the officers of the coimty, &c relieving the Grand Jury from the responsibility. With kind wishes for the future prosper* ity of his Hon. Judge P. J. Strozier, Solic tor General Jno. C. Rutherford, and officers of the Court, ve ask to be discharged. We recommend that these presentments be published in the Southern Sun and Weekly Democrat I W B Freeman Foreman^ 2MH Dukes. • • 3 A Kiri ght. 4 Jacob Harrell. ’ SE. A. J. Rich. 6 Jno R.
