Thanks to the resolution and firmness of our noble President, Andrew Johnson, as manifested in his recent peace proclamation the troops garrisoning the towns and cities of the South, are being rapidly removed, \ and we have the pleasure to chronicle (lie ’ departure of the colored garrison of Thom-. asville on Friday In-t for Fort Pula-ki, to ’ be mustered out. This is good news for the country and will result in the re-establish ment of contiler.ee in business.and in the’ future peace and prosperity of atl parties in the South. President. Johnson is worthy of all praise for his love and devotion to the constitution of his country, and merits , our deepest gratitude for his manly and f statesmanlike position on the vital issues before the country, which he maintains : with a resolution and firmneas impregnable as the rock of Gibralter. Let the whole I South unite ns one man in h-is support., for upon his successdepends the salvation of the country. - - — ——■ -• * mm- ~~ 110 VIIC IDE- Two young men, Thomas and James Mi tv of this County, went out together on a fishing excursion on Thursday night last, accompanied by a younger brother about ten years old, when a'sliglit misun der-standing occurred between the elder brothers, resulting in the stabbing of Thom as by James. Mize,-from which the former immediately expired. As the affair was related to us there does not seem to have been any malice or pre vious difficulty between the brothers, but James is said to be petulant and quar relsome, and altho-ugh it is not believed that he intended to kill his brother, yet he certainly meant to wound him, and in eith er case deserves severe punishment. The younger brother above mentioned, is the only evidence in the case, and he related that the difficulty occurred about James’ pocket knife, which Thomas had in his pocket, and when asked for threw it upon the ground near his brother. The fratricide has not yet been arrested. MORSE thieves Client (’apt It. P. Doss and James T. Ilayes, of j this County, brought to jail in Thomasville oh Saturday morning last, two tnen calling j. their names, respectively, Charles A. . White, of Boston, Massachusetts, and 1 JoilS Bracken, of GufaLa Alabama, charg ed with stealing horses. They were brought before Justice Flan- j if;ax and committed for trial. The circumstances attending the stealing , were as follow* : On the night -of the 2nd.J inst., two horses were stolon from the lot of • Mr. James T. Hayes, near Duncanville. They were immediately’described and pub lished in the Enterprise, and the advertise- j ment overhauled the thieves at Madison, j Fla., where the horses were recovered and ! the .thieves seised and thrown into prison, j Mr, Ilayes was immediately notified of i these proceedings, and Capt. Doss, his son- i in-law. and J. T. Hayes, Jr., his Nephew, proceeded to Madison, recovered the horses and. brought the thieves .as above stated. Capt. Boss stated that they, were arrested about twelve or fifteen miles from Madison, where they, in connection with others had tents and were camping out-, in a supposed safe place for carrying on the business, and that three others, an old man and his two sons, were also arrested at the same time and place, and are now in Madison jail. : Several others made their escape, and it is f made evident that the thieves arrested are ’ only members of a large and regularly or i ganized band. ‘. • The number of horses and mules -tolen through this section and Middle Florida since the end of the war is almost incredible. 1 Scarcely a day or night passed but that ! some person lost one or more, horses or i mules, or both, and this vicinity has been j a great spoil to the thieves. ] Very few of them have ever been caught,’ , but now there .are two in this place under J arrest, and there is n witness who swears that ] he saw these two thieves offer Air. Hayes’s horses for sale. What ought.to be done un der these circumstances ? The last legis lature passed a law making horse stealing punishable with death. Every body knows | that horse stealing has of late been carried j on to an alarming extent. Shall the thieves | be admitted to bail and their crimes go nfi- I punished ? If sq then the law is useless \ and it will be folly to arrest a thief hereaf. Iter. Cntil sotne necks are broken in ex piation cf these crimes, they- will not cease.- The sooner it is done then tile better, pro vided Dublic resentment does not anticipate the law. We could have no pleasure in the destruction of human life ; but the good of society and the safety ol persons and pro perty demands that when any human being becomes so debased as to be deaf to all the appeals of virtue, wreckless of his own life and fortune, and careless of the rights of others, that being ought to be placed in a condition rendering it impossible for him to commit further crimes. FBEEDMAYS BUREAU. As articles of general information to Planters and others, we have been favored by Capt. Joseph Oneil, the head of the Freedman’s Bureau of this district, with the following document, issued from head quarters since the publication of the Presi dent’s last proclamation : BUREAU REFUGEES, FREED -I|E> & ABANDONED LANDS, Office Act. Asst. Commissioner,T State of Georgia, > Augusta, Ga., April 10, 1866. ) The following dispatch is published for the t •information of Officers and Agents of the.

Fieedmen, etc., for the State of Geor- I gia, having inquired whether the President's : recent Proclamation removes martial law, and stated that the Department Commander does not feel authorized to arrest parties who have ] committed outrages on freed people, or Union refugees, the Secretary of W ar, with the ap I provul of the President, directs me to inform you that the President's Proclamation does ! not remove martial law, or operate in any way upon the Freedmen’s Bureau in the exer cise of its legitimate jurisdiction. It is not expedient, however, to resort to military tribunals in any case where justice can be attained through’ the medium of civil authority. Please acknowledge receipt. E. D TOWNSEND, A. A. G. ; OFFI CI AT.: G. 11. Pratt, Lieut. & Act. A. A. Gen. April 18 ts The Quitman Banner, of the I4th inst.. announces that in future its editorial department will be conducted by Carey W. Styles, Esq., formerly of the Wares boro’ Forrester. In the same issue Mr- Sttles makes a graceful bow to the pub. lie, takes a sensible ‘•harmonizing” view of the situation, greets the “press gang ’’ generally, and launches his boat for an 1 editorial cruise. FOR THE ENTERPRISE. I THE COlAfl SOLICITOR*SUP. Mr. Editor:'- —We see in- your last issue that there is another candidate for this [ position in the person of our young friend, Wm. Vi Hates, Es j. Both candidates were gallant soldiers during the recent war, have high moral I ohm re, an 1 are fully competent to ■ discharge theduties of the office; and yet, there is an unanswerable reason, in our j i Igment, one of them should-not be [elected. Section 41 of the-act approved 17th of March, 1866, creating the Coupty Courtia in the following words: “That there shall also I.e a prosecuting Attorney who shall be called County Solicitor, lie shall be-elected at the same time, and com |.missioned in the. same manner as the ! Judge of said'Court. He shall have been radioing attorney, and- after hi3 elec tion, shall reside in the County. He shall an-’l sworn as Solicitors and attorney generals are qualtji J and sworn, and shall be removable from office in the same manner as solicitor’s General, are re | movable, and in case of vacancy, absence, • sickness or ether disability- the Judge appoint any practicing attorney ‘tu perform his duties during such absence sickness or other disability; or until such vacancy can be- filled by anew elec-, tion.”; . • ’ * “ . . By this seeti'on of the act it.appears that . the County Solicitor must be qu lifted and j sworn as Solicitor’s General’ are qualified and.sworn. By turning to section 317 of : the Code of Georgia, it will be seen, what the Solicitor General has to swear. Section 349 of the Code prescribes what his qual : ifications-must be. Ii is in the following words ’ • ■■. Vb person is eligible to the office of So licitor General Who has not been a resident citizen of this State five years just preced ing his election or appointment, w -o shall, not have been an inhabitant cf the circuit-, in which .he is to serve, one year, prior j thereto ; icho has not attained the age-of twen ty-one y< and who has hot been duly admitted and licensed to practice law ill the Superior Courts of this State for at least three years.” The act of the last Legislature declares that the County Solicitor’ must have the ‘same qualifications as the Solicitor General, and the Code declares that to hold the of fice of. Solicitor General, the officer must have attained the age of twenty-one years, therefore the County Solicitor must have attained that age. The recent act of the Legislature modified some of the then qual ifications,-but this it left untouched. Now it is known that Air. Hayes is not twenty one years of age, and will not be for a half year to come.’ Me is therefore, by express law ineligible to the position which.he asks. Alt’. Hayes-is-quite a young lawyer'and may not hare looked to this matter, and if he. has not, lie ought’ to do -so and -gov ern himself accordingly. If he has, and is a candidate Independently of this law, then we ask, most respccfully, if In? is not claiming too much of the people. To be elected, would, indeed, be highly ■ compli-. mentary, but would not the compliment cost too much? Is it proper to ask a cera pliment.at the expense of the administra tion’ of the’ public justioe of the country? The County Court is one of tlie most impor tant Courts that has everbeen established in this State, and it- is important’ that it should be organized speedily and’ efiec tively. This cannot be done, if an ineligi ble person be elected one of its officers; —’ All this is said without the slightest inten tion to wound. Mr. Hayes’ feelings, -or in jure him in any respect. AVe honor him for his conduct in the past, and fully ap preciate his moral and intellectual char acter. Onr only object is to prevent discord, and eonfusiori in the organization, of what we consider the most important Court in the State. We hazard, one remark, in the kindest feeling, and that is that young men sometimes set themselves back by being in too much haste to accomplish a I given object.: “Festiualente ’is .an adage ! whose truthfulness has borne the test of hundreds of year*. FOR THE ENTERPRISE. Mr. Editor: Under certain circumstances,, it is almost absolutely necessary that a man- should resort to the public print, to get that justice denied him in other quar ters. I think tny oase comes under , the above rule, and 1 assure you I would pot resort to nty present course did I-not think the circumstances of the case demanded it. It is generally understood, that the Mayor and Council of a city arc the giiar-’ dians of the municipal good, and to be such, they must necessarily be the protec tors of all the indivi luals composing (lie incorporation. But, sir, T am sorry to bo foreed to say, that gucli is not the case in the town of Thomasville, and I will give my reasons for this assertion, so that all may read and judge for themselves. . A short time ago, Mr* Chastain made appli cation •to the Town Council for permision to build a wooden house within the limit.s of the fire district.’ This permission was granted in the. face of a standing Ordinate to the contrary. Seeing the precedent es-. tablished, I made application to build a wooden house on my store lot, immediate ly in rear of Mr. Chastain’s house, having long desired to do so, but never having made the application, as 1 considered’mv self debarred by the above mentioned ordi nance. Mr. Paine also made application at the same time with myself, for leave to build a wooden house on his lot adjoining that of Mr. Chastain, and also in the fire district. Now, sir, what was the action of the Mayor and Council ? Mr. Paine receiv ed permission to build, and my application teas rejected. Hear the rehson : Mr. Chas tain and Mr. Paine had lost their houses by fire on these same lots, and therefore they ought to be allowed to rebuild wood- on houses; while 1 who had been fortu nate enough not to lose a house by fire, could not be allowed to build a wooden house. The very fact that their houses had once been destroyed by fire, seems to me a stronger reason why they should not be allowed to rebued. But, suppose we consider this reason intrinsically a good excuse for waiving the fire ordinance, there has been a precedent established which deprives it of its force, for, when Colonel Wright was about to rebuild a wooden house which was in danger of fall ing down, he was prevented—how ? by an enforcement of the ordinance, and had to leave his house in the shape of a half sto ry. Is there so much difference between . a house burnt down, and a house rotten down ? We think not. Now, Mr. Editor, I should not object to the enforcement of the fire ordinance, but I do object to any ordinance which bears upon some citizens, and does not affect others at all, and that too when their priv ileges arise out of the very thing that the ordinance proposes to prevent. I remonstrated with the Council, hut finding that of no avail I told them I should publish the injustice, that all might see how the “ city fathers ” fulfill the high trust reposed iu them by the citizens.

April IS STO LEN FROM my residence four miles South of Tbomasville, on Friday night the loth instant, a BROWN BAY PONY HORSE, about fourteen hands high, nine or ten years old, and lias an enlargement on the fetlock of the right hind foot. He also lias some signs of harness on the outer part ot the shoulders. His ears are remarkably small and sharp at the points. Said horse was shod all round, but the shoe had been lost from one hind foot. He is a brisk traveller, walks and paces well. I believe said horse was stolen by a negro man named George Roberts, sometimes calling himself George Washington, Said negro is about 22 years of age, copper color, medium size and height, and has a tresli cut near one of his ears, and also another on one of his arms, received in a conflict with a white man in this county. I will give a liberal reward for the recovery of the horse, and also for the apprehension and safe delivery of the thief with evidence to convict. AM G. PONDER. April IS 1 6 -ts MulcTStolen!
