A ROMANCE OF HISTORY-
It was nutting time. - : ,.
A blooming band of peasant children
had gathered from far and near to lave
a merry day amid tlw nut trees and
hedges. * '• • i
I say children—but girls of fifteen and
lads of eighteen and twenty Were scat
tered through the chattering group.
Tlie unt harvest was a joyful time to
them. li'
The young aro always attractive in a
certain wav. The uiuiimmed brightness
of the eye—the satiny smoothness ol the

nronnd the rosy Mm—each has a bemity

the charm of perfectly chiseled features

—anil you can form an idea of Kika
llremer—the acknowledged beauty of
tin- whole surrounding country.
And tlicrc wusa romantic story about
lu-r going the rounds.
It was said that no leas a personage
than Prince Erie, the son of the great
a ill good (itistavus, had been standing
one morning by one of the palace win
dows to witness a rustic procession,
which had hesn gotten up in honor of
some important victory, recently won

suddenly, and he turned to an atten

caused him to hasten away, "'lien he

Then eh- threw lmrself at his feet,
and clasping Iter hands entreatiitgly she
said:

C<infused and blushing, she
awaited the prime’s pleasure,
dared not raise her eyes to his face.
llad she done so, she would have been
overpowered by the earnestness of the
-a/.e with which he regarded her.
” From the moment ins eves rested upon
Kika's face, the world held but one
peerless woman to him.
It mattered not that his younger
brother. Intkc John, was even then in
mother kingdom, wooing for him a
royal bride, upon whose brow rested a
diadem, whose splendor far exceeded the

death of Ids lather.
No. In that moment Elizabeth 01
England was forgotten. Tlie peasant
maid w ho stood before ldm had become
llie queen of his fancy.
••Thy name, little one?’ lie asked.
Kika raised her eyes to tlie handsome,
earnest face, but dropped them timidly
ns she met hi- glance. , , ,
••1 am Krederika—the foresior a daugh

•-Nay, not vet crave 1 for that title,
maiden. Young blood must hsve its
vent, and 1 am glad to know that tlie
cares of government arc not soon likely
to rest. U|«>u my shoulders, broad though

If tlie gracious prince chose thus to
address one of the humblest of his
I'ather’H subjects, she knew well her po
sition, and was to tlie full as proud oi
her unsullied innocence n.wl integrity as
tin- haughtiest maid in the realm.
Her shy modesty added to her beauty
in Erie’s eye.
A glass of milk, from Rika s own
white hands, was the draught moat pre
ferred by the royal hunter—although,
out of courtesy, be would sometimes ac
cept a uuig of mead from the sturdy old
latsier.
Matters were in this sluge ut tlie time
our storv opens.
The nuts were gathered, and the merry
groups had disja-rsed to their various
homes, with the understanding that they
should meet again the next day aud go
together to the palace and dispose of
their treasures.
Tlie next mo.-iiing found them on their
way, drosogl in their best, as became so
eventful an occasion in their usuully
monotnnotis lives; forroyaltv has such
., glamor to uninitiated eyes that the
mere sight of the wails which shut it in
is eagerly coveted.
!c waso pretty sight to any one who
might have Ixs-n stationed at the win
dow, to see that blooming proeession of
neatly dressed lads and lasses, as they
wended their way along with many a
merry laugh and jest, until at last they
baited in the great square before the
judnee.
Hut to tlie watching eyes of tlie prince
«In, him received a hint of the coming
of the nm-gatherers—there w as but one
face worth looking at among the throng.
“Come," he said to the courtiers who
were standing near, “let us go down to
the square ill a budy aud make the
In-arts of yon merry rustles even merrier
t.i-dav by exchanging some coins for
the nuts they have with them."
A prince's suggestion never lacks for
listeners, nor for followers; gild soon
the rich toiletes of the court people
were scattered about amidst the crowd
in the square.
Erie’s steps were turned at once to
wards IHka.
lie soon possessed himself of her nuts;
and after paving for them lavishly in
golden coin, ho took from an inner pock
et a locket and chain, which lie gave to
bcr. sayina:
“Wear it for inv sake. There is no
one who would look fairer in it. You
• sight to be a queen, little Rika, and I j
the object of that love. To win thee, I
would give up m v heirship f« the crown
lo my brother John ; and while fie wears
the diadem upon his brow, 1 will con
tent myself with love and happiness
with thee.”
“Not so, noble Eric.” saidllika, firm
ly ; “if thou wonldst. make such a sacri
fice, I, for one, will no! be a party to it.
After such a marriage—entailing, as it
would, so much loss—love would prove
hut a transient guest w ithin our home.
Reproaches would drive the fickle god
away.”
“Tell me the truth, Kika," interrupt
ed Erie, with passionate earnestness:
“do you love me?”
“So well that 1 would rather die than
know that harm would couie to one so
noble through any influence of mine."
“And yet you refuse to make n.e hap-
py?”
“I refuse to work your ruin, noble
prince. The pre-cut is not all of life.
But see—the sunlight lias already reach

more minutes my father will be lu re.
If thon wmildst shield me from harm,
go."
“1 will obey, now; but I will not
promise to give up tlie hope which lured
me hither. Farewell, for a time, most
obdurate maiden.”
Then whh a long, lingering, regretful
look, the prince turned aud departed.
Days and weeks passed on.
At last came a time which was to
plunge the nation into mourning. The
good and great Gustavos was stricken
with a mortal illness.
He died and was laid beside Ids kingly
progenitors, and Eric was tlie reigning
sovereign in Sweden.
Young, impulsive and bis own master,
with his heart filled with but one image,
is it to tie wondered at that lie Suffered
no obstacle to delay his union with the
maiden of his love, after the days of Ills
mourning were fully accomplished, and
that tlie pretty nut-girl of Sweden be
came its crowned queen ?
Search the annals of history, and you
will find the romantic story of the mar
riage on record, adding 'still another
folk-tale to those the country maidens
tell over to ern-h other at tli t witching
time between daylight and starlight,
when all nature" is going to rest, ami
voting hearts are nttuiiixi to svmpnthv

THAT LITTlTrED MARK-
ibis road arrived in Athens, and was
received by Mayor Rucker and extend
ed the hospitalities of our el ty. They
Were all representative men, and

Yesterday, at 11.30 a. m., the meet
ing convened In our opera bouse, a
large number of the citizens of Ali

His Hoflor me Mayor called the
Jurksnit lh ratil. .
In ills speech at this place on last
Monday, the Hon. Emory Speer dwelt
atleagth upon the appointment of Madi
son Davis to the Athens post office, ami
the part that he played in tlie transac
tion. After telling all about Pledger’s
application and efforts to get the place,
hu showed Pledger’s application, ami
the endorsements that lie had received
irom prominent and influential men of
Athens, who had recommended Pledger
for the plaee, in the event that fir. (hr
could not receive the appointment, and
reciting tlie fact that Pledger hud a
strong backing for the place from his
(Speer’s) enemies, lie flaunted Pledg
ers petition and endorsements in tho
air, and exclaimed, “but gentlemen,
there is <i little red murk ujkiii that peti
tion that was more weights than all Un
rest, and It reads, ‘tlie Hon. Emory Speer
objects,’ and upon my recouimeudaiion
Madison Davis was appointed.”
The assertion set us to thinking and
considering what the little red mark
meant; what potency there was in it;
and why it was that when a congress
man, who was elected from a democratic
district, objected to the apjioiutiucnt by
a republican adniiuislraiitm oi a repub
lican lo an office u ids district, it was
ln-eded, and his Wishes' were obeyed
—that his endorsement was-ot more
weight than all the rest, and was neces
sary to secure an appointment,
A review pi Mr. Speer’* course and
acts for the last two years; a knowledge
of the political situ itiou in this district,
and oi the policy of tlie republican party
towards tlie south, make it plain to us
why Mr. Speer’s objection should be so
weighty when set down against un appli
cant's mime who seeks an office from the
republican administration. “That little
red mark" meant! the price that Mr.
Speer receives for his friendship with
the republican party; or, to use bis own
expression, that is tlie compensation lie
gets for “standing in with then).’’
We regret to have to put suely con
struction upon the actions of a Ilian
whom we have in times past admired as
a true democrat, hut we citiinoj consci
entiously do otherwise, knowing the
facts as we do,
w-S?i yet make you one." 1 The republican party grant* no grat-
Itefore Kika had time to realize aught " U ” 1 US favors, and in this instance it eer-
tamly would not disappoint an appli
cant who was himself tlie recognized of-
ial head u r the party ill this suite in
order to please* political enemy. Hence,
they expect that Mr. Sp«er will repay
the kindness in the future, and, regard
ing him as a democrat, he is placing
himself under obligations to his political
cn-uniea. While we like to see a man
ell thought of even by his enemies,

Joshua Hill, of Madison, whom he
stated would explain the object of (his
assembly. Mr. 1‘rinee Hodgson was
elected secretary.
The Chair stated that this conven
tion was called In compliance with a
resolution passed at the late Watkius-
ville meeting, and its intention is for
tlie contemplated railroad project to
take some definite shape. What this
would he the convention must decide.
Air. Moss, of Clarke, thought before
tlie meeting acted further a permanent
organization should be perfected, that
gentleman citing the first conception
ot the North-Eastern road, which
made no progress until a regular
board of officers were elected. •
Judge Thomas, of Clarke, agreed
with Mr. Moss. He spoke of the im
portance of tide road to the commerce
of Athens, and felt no doubt of its suc
cess. 4150,000 would grade and cross-
tie the road aud build tlie bridges, aud
this zum could be easily raised by sub
scription in the counties interested.
He lmd talked with Col. Foreacre, of
the R. & D.,ol) the subject, and found
him a staunch friend to the enter
prise and would assist us in jsuy
way in his power, bet books of *uli-
Bcriptions be at once opened, and
when enough'money is subscribed to
grade this road it will be an easy mat
ter to purchase tlie equipments on
liberal terms.
Hon. Fred Foster, of Madison, stat
ed that he was author of the Watkius-
ville resolution which convened this
meeting. When he was at home and
approached a man to subscribe to tlie
project the first question he asked was,
“Have you ait organization?” Be
fore we go ‘any further let us elect of
ficers and appoint a committee to draft
by-laws. He moved that they now
appoint & committee to report tlie
names ot delegates present aud what
oouuties they represent.

lint she -non came to her sober senses.
It was w ell known that King Gustavos
had lieen holding negotiations with the
maiden Queen of England, to induce her
to bestow her jewelled hand Upon his
elder son. and it had reached Hika’s
ears.
Such a thing had been known as a
maid of low degree being woed ami
won by a royal suitor. The tale of Gri

was a favorite one among the folk-sto

of this rood, that the meeting put it
self iu communication with some
wealthy corporation interested in its
completion. Doubtless the Richmond
& Danville company was nearest al-
ligned with it, aud .from a petsonal
conversation with Col. Foreaore he
was convinced that he would use every
endeavor jn his power to farther its
success, for he was iu sympathy with

stated to him that he would meet his

proposed for this meeting to put itself

Col. Nesbit, of Eatouton, was intro
duced to the meeting, and gave us one
of tlie most pleasing and business-like
ta’ks we have ever listened to. He is
a natural orator, and impresses his
he irers with the truth and wisdom of
what he says. The speaker stated
himself and delegation came us self-
invited guests to Athens, but they felt
suck a deep interest in the enterprise
that the Mayor of Eatonton had call
ed a meeting. Their committee was
sent here to lay the claims of their lit
tle oity before this convention, with
the promise that Putnam county will
extend all theald in Iter power. Col.
Nesbit then spoke of the growth of
his town, the wealth of his county,
and their friendship for Athens. He
UMBMliU UUd raJlrmd .would tuw tkeix
entire trade to our oity. Col. Nesbit
stated that Putnam’s cotton ship
ments amounted to 20,000 bales, and
the business of Eatouton to|nearly one
million dollars. They used 1,200 tong
of guano, and they desired to be con
nected with the people of Athens.
He had to-day compared the prices of
aotton here with Augusta and Savan
nah, and found a material difference
lit favor of the Athens market. That
he ouce, in connection with Col. Wad-
lt/y, surveyed the route from Madisoti
to .'Eatouton, and them was not a
branch t« cross." The distance IsTT
miles, and no cheaper road Could be
built auywhere. He stated that it
would be foolish for him to show the
seusible people of Athens the interest
they had in this line; but he did
want to say in behulf of his own coun
ty, with all due respect to the repre
sentatives of the other counties prea
cut, that Putnam was the wealthiest
county, in all that goes to make a
prosperous people. He took his seat
amid prolonged applause.

•o biaiaiit
On Tuesday night, about 0 o’clock, a
difficulty occurred between Mat Da?
via, Mr. Speer's Athene postmaster j
and- Randall Brown, an honest and
respectable colored man of this city,'
that will probably result fri the death
of the latter. From all information
that we can gather it seems that Da
vis called a meeting of the colored
Speer men in Town Hall, bn Monday
night last, which appiaia to have been
convened for the express purpose ibf
abusing and 'vHlify.ng the Candler
darkeys. They were, in public
speeches, denouncing them as “rene
gades," “black-hearted scoundrels,”
“traitors to their race and party,"
etc.; and it is said that Mat Davis
publicly speke of Randall Brown os
“a black son of a bitch, who had sold
hia votes to the democrats, aud should
not .be recognized by hisown Tamlly."
This was a false charge, as Randall vol
untarily supported Gobi Candler, sta
ting at the time that he preferred vot
ing for an honest democrat than a two-
faced politician—half radical and half
democrat—as Mr. Kpeer claimed to be.
Of course the insulting remarks made
by Mat Davis naturally incensed this
man, and he expressed a determina
tion to tell him what he thought of a
man who would try and sell his influ
ence and people ;for an office for him
self. The Davfe men, however, deny
that any remarks were made abusive
of the Cuudler side. •;(} -Mu-h - i |
Ko ou Tuesday night oue of our col
ored fire companies met at tlie ’Down
Hall. After the business had been
transacted a crowd gathered in ■ front
of the door, discussing general topics,
when Mat Davis came up. Witnesses
differ as to who first started the dis-'
cussion, hut Brown and Davis soon
got into a dispute as to the insulting
charge tliat the latter had heaped
upou him the night before. Hard
words passed on both sides, resulting
in a scuttle, when Mat Davis deliber
ately drew a knife and inflicted a mor
tal wound upon his antagonist. Davis
says he only cutbim with apen-knife,
but Randall Brown avers that he drew
a dagger from hla girdle fend
.with that cut him. From the nature
of the wouud the weapon, used must
have been of a deadly character. Da
vis had not time to draw and open a
pocket-knife, and all the evidence
goes to. show that he came prepared to
take this poor man’s life. Brown had
no weapon, and was ruthlessly cut
down wbeu asking for a retraction of
an insult that had been hurled at
him. < -. • i . «.
The wounded man was at once car
ried u> his home, where he was soon
surrounded by sympathetic friends,
both white and black. All that could
poas.ihly .be done for him waa . freely
given. Drs.. Gerdine, Benedict and
Carlton were summoned, who exam
ined the wound aud pronounced it
mortal. . They say there is not one
chance in ten for the patient’s recov
ery. The wound was inflicted across
the abdomen, and the bowels are ex
posed. He was gashed Into the hol
low. The wounded man can speak
only in a whisper, and he affirms that
Mat Davis maliciously stabbed him
with a long dagger, doubtless carried
with tills end In view. Had Brown
anticipated a difficulty he would cer
tainly have gone armed; but instead
of this it can be proved that be had
only his naked arms as a defense
against cold steel.
Davis was soon arrested at his
house, and released upon giving bond
for 41,000. Tlie good people of our city
are Incensed at his not being confined
in jail, as Solicitor Mitchell decided
that it was not a hallable ease, as tlie
doctors had certified tliat the wound
would In all probability prove mortal.
It is thought that the origin of this
difficulty was the republican conven
tion held last Saturday, when Mat
Davis was removed as. chairman and
an anti-Speer man elected in bis place.
This was a severe blow to his pride
and he attempted redress by conven
ing a Speer meeting And report' says'
denouncing all colored men who would
vote-for Co!. CAndle^' as “republfcati
renegades,” “democratic scoundrels,",
etc. "t •-”> r ” r, ‘- ,< 1 R ■
Tt seems that “My Dear Mat’’ Is en
deavoring to ruti Mr. Speer with th6
darkeys as a straight-out republican
candidate—the only friend to the ne
gro—but as himself and a few of the
prominent leaders reap all the' spoils
of office the main body of colored vo-
tert hegin to rebel against the unjust
1116 division. One of them toldhs Chat
he, together with'Mat?Davls and most
-reason thatiho was man enough to asn
forf;
i-zsr^i—king converts for Mr.
S{>4er It w tit drive hundreds from, his
support who might otherwise vote for
him. The colored pebpie are fast get
ting from beneathi the heel ofa few
leaders, who have been selling them
like dumb cattle. They see that there

The murder of RandaU JBrown break*
the domination ring of pegro poli
ticians who have for years controlled
their race in the district and sold their
votes to the highest bidder, pocketing

We would simply ask, by way of
comment upon this political tragedy,
Is this what the citizens and the de
mocracy of Athens have to encounter
from Mr. Speer’s negro appointees to
office?

THAT MEETING.
Yesterday the injunction of Emory
Speier against the Banner-Watohman
gWas, tried before zJudge-E^wJn^ in .this'
city, with Hon. Pope Barrow repre
senting this office and Geo. D. Thom
as, Esq., Mr. Speer. It will be remem-
:! bored tliat Mr. Speer 'frequently stated
■ 'Whis Gainesville sheet that all he
, .askefl was to restrain the, publication
- 1, of fhJgf correspondence until hd ’could
' coma before tno people and answer it;
Ural he wav aot ashamed for his oon-
the pledge was madp that -Hr. Speer
dart not face those Christy letters, and
that be would nut lifttne injunction.
True to oar prediction, when tne young
coalition congressman came home he
preserved a dead silence about these
fetters. For several weeks we patient
ly waited for Mr. Speer to fulfill his
promise, and when we saw he had no
idea of so doing we employed counsel
and decided to teat the matter in the
courts. We have never intended to
publish one of Mr. Speer’s private let-
ten. If there are any such in Mr.
Christy’s possession we have never
seen them.
When Mr. Speer was served with a
notice that the matter would be con
torted in the courts, instead of accept
ing the situation he employs the ablest
counsel to be had, with instructions to
contest the matter to the bitter end.
After several delays tlie matter was
yesterday brought to a trial. Capt.
Barrow, in an able and convincing
speech of about two hour’s length ,nn
swered the injunction. He denied
tliat ills clients were asking to publish
Mr. Speer’s private letters, but con
tended that a congressman was but the
servant of the people, and the hod u
right to kuow his official acts, lie
then read a number of certificates,
wherein he proved that Mr. Speev was
guilty of the same acts that he now
' Athens, Ga., Sept.ll, ’82.
Editor Banner-Watchman: Pass
ing the old town hall Monday night
about 11 o’clock, I was attracted by
sounds of voices, and upon stopping
and listening, the truth at once flash
ed upon me that tt was a colored polit
ical meeting. As I halted and listen
ed Mat Davis was introducing to the
audience some “gentleman” whose
name I could not catch, hut who bail
ed froiq some place outside of the »th
district- J could not see him from
where I was standing, but l am con
vinced he was white, but with a very
blacK iieart, as his language plainly
showed. He stated thaihe was glad
to find them with ready 'bands and
eager hearts for the battle before them.
That they were nobly doing their du
ty, and if they would only stick to
the republican party victory would lie
thelr’s. He maligned the organized
democracy and begged them to sup
port the independent candidate for
congress; that when ,thpy could not
get a horse to ride they mi st take a
mule, $ad if not a mule a -jackass; if
they couldn’t get butter they innst
take lard, and if they couldn’t get a
full-fledged republican they must take
a half-breed, and therefore, it was
their duty,- aa “patriotic citizens,” to
give all the aid possible to Mr. Speer-
He had already gone halt the way with
them, and would go Hie rest If they
would support him; that he was a bet
ter radical than a democrat, and had
already proven himself A friend of t lie
colored man; had secured them offi
ces and would do still more if he
was returned to congress. The dem
ocratic party was not in sympathy
with them, aud their only hope was
the independents He. denounced
the colored pien who, are for Candlpr
a* aaetof renpgatftH and. Meves and
ty had concluded his harrangue sever
al oolered brethren were called Up and
each one wept over the same ground.
They gave the organiqed democracy
hall Columbia, bnt rolled the name
of Mr. Speer under their tongues as a
sweet morsel. As regards Emory
Speer they told nothing but the truth,
for if there ever was a radical in dis
guise. Emory Speer is he. I cannot
blame, his leaders for standing to
him; but what can I say for the so-
called democrats and white men who
accord, him their support? When
they cast their ballots for Speer they
turn their backs upon democracy and
shake hands with republicanism.
They may twist aud squirm as much
as they choose,but this is true, and no
seusible man will deny it. I do not
mean to say by this that no good dem
ocrats are for Speer, for I know there
are some—a very few—deluded, mis
guided democrats who are his friends.
-God have meroy on such! But the
bright'star of hope is gleaming bright
er, and next November this mass of
radicalism and corruption will be
buried beneath 2,000 majority.
Democrats of the 9th district, let ns
put our heads and hearts together: let
us, with one accord, put our should
ers to the immense iron wheel of de
mocracy, and with one grand, mighty
effort give-It each a push as to bury
beneath its ponderous weight the cor
ruption and infamy of independent-
ism; yea, let’s bury R deep, and write
upon It In letters as black as midnight,
‘‘No resurrection here!” and our
names will go down to posterity hon
ored and. revered, M. Quad.
The meeting alluded to by our cor
respondent Is the one in which poor
to traded Brown Was villi lied and
abused,, and bis death wuuud is tlie
direot result of bad blood stirred up
on that occasion.

time engaged in reading himself from
the stump gobled extracts from tel
lers written oy one of these and other
private citizens. Capt. Barrow read
numberless decisions touching Ibis
matter.
Mr.’ Thomas, Speer’s counsel, then
arose, surrounded by a law books ob
tained from every source, aud certain
ly made a gallant argument for liis
side. Mr. Thomas did not attempt to
defend the political of course of .'lr.
Speer, or explain his position in ask
ing the law to protect liitu against au
act of which he himself was then guil
ty. His entire argument was bused
on the fact tliat none of these letters

some strong points, lie spoke for
several hours, and acquitted himself

The case had not been decided up to

Mr. Speer will carry the case to tlie

determined to leave no stone unturn
