In those western wilds—or i western wilds, for It refers to there fire many exciting* but fbw more interesting than* lowing: On Tuesday afternoon] to this city MM| wound taT waa'asvriouNonc ~ n to betaol . •"•‘plaoe' Where fho Millet i Or. Benedicts band cover it. In feet it looked ju tboug n young cannon ball ,*hftd passed through the man’s left arm! Hi ex- plains tiie way in which the wound was received in tills fashion: He was employed on the Oregon Short Line Railroad at the ramp near the Little Muddy, and about half a' fiay’ea Jour ney from tiie town of browing. On Thursday last, In company with 'two other men, he went to the iowntp get some checks cashed, and in the after noon I>ogan his return to the camp, still accompanied by the twomen. When between three and four miles from the camp, aud near the old Kel- - ton crossing, as the evening began to descend, lie was walking along about thirty-live feet ahead of h|s compan ions, who were talking togfthw. He heard some ona say, ‘‘You-0—d-d—d a—n ofab—hi hold tip Jdpr hands!" f! He knew the remark was Intendfewor iniJsild.l]e turned quickly around to fieieft to see nls companions who tiie were behind him. As he did so a ball from n Henry rifle whizzed along! striking him in the back it glanced through his coat, vest, phirt and un dershirt, along his bacg and hithlm on tiie left arm, shattering it as above stated. Had lie turned the other way tiie ball would have struck him on the right side and killed htm; had he failed to turn it would have caught him squarely in tiie bank and made life n very brief burden fat him, Aa soon as he felt the shot lie began to run, and made about thirty yards, when lie concluded he had bett er halt nml did so and throw up his hands. The pair oaine up to him and the fel low who fired tiie shot which shatter ed the poor mun’sarni, knelt down in fro at of him, |wdiited the cocked gun square at and in n few Inches of his body, and coolly said: 0—d d—n you! I’ll fix you now." The victim looked at ills assailant aud said: "Take what I’ve got: but there’s no use killing me." "If 1 don’t kill you, It will make trouble." said the Henry rifle man. “Not any more trouble than If you killed me,” as coolly urged the other. "The boys will find my body and they’ll gut you sure; and then fix you." A discussion of tiie case aa to wheth er the man should tie killed then en sued, and the unfortunute fellow final ly succeeded in convincing them that it would lie of no particular advan tage to them to kill him. So they took all lie had. Before leaving him, however, they returned Ills watch and gave him |20. They turned and left and lie went to Ills camp, suffering intensely from tiie wounded arm. The men in tiie camp learning of the oc currence, and knowing the robbers, organised a party, and the next day captured tiie fellows at tiie town of Crossing, whera one was negotiating for liaritber -Henry, rifle. JChey were seized and token barteto the The fellow who had domftb£ was taken luto the room, of hi for identification. The thief walked up and asked the fellow Jf he was hurt much. When he was identified a dis cussion aa to what should ~be done with him was had. and.lt waafleclded to take him to Bellevue, fifty" miles distant. While this debate was In progress tiie ussasslu coolly .said he was hungry and wanted them to give lilm something to eat. This was on Friday morning last,. A short time nfter, everything being in readiness, tiie nten who had robbed their ' coin panion, with a strongguard. were seat ed inn wagon nttd started (or Bellevue They were still going through the camp when a party of workmen from tiie grades came up, stopped the team mid notified the guard that they would take cate of the prisoners. They made nil the occupants get out, overturn the wagon, tan the tongue up in the aiF and then propped it there. . A rope was securely fasteued at the eud of the tongue and then placed around the neck of the fellow who had fired tbs shot, and he was strung up and left dangling. His tody remained hang ing for nearly 24 hours, and was there still when the wounded man started for this city, hie escort driving him ulinohi up against the body that be might see it; but he turned his bead away and closed his eyes. Tbe other robber, though not lynched, was jailed and held for trial. *u <-T j Dr».

Chicago Time*. ' A f.-w years ago the government and citizen* of the state of Kansas set op in a new branch of the philanthropy bus!-, ness. They interested themselves in priM-ut log the removal to the state of a large number of southern negroes, prin- eiiwlly from the states of Mississippi and Louisiana. They believed, or pro- f.-.-sed to believe, that they .would taka kindly to northern fanning, and that ti»?y wi-ibl sure cither in .working land ou.m^f own account, orpa laboi 1 . ers on fl'icTarma of others. Very pan w account., however, have lieen^ybi^ivei from tln.ui in either capacity. Tjto gen eral wr-lict is that negroes witty have immediate section, Is that disgrace- fill bartering of suffrage. Whenever a candidate enters the political arena he must make up his mind to "bleed,” and “bleed" freely. We do not mean that he must shed his gore, but his greenbacks. In fact, we have now our eye on certain offices tiie acquire ment of which cost tbe successful can didate more than his salary. What can we hope or expect so long as tills high privilege—the greatest trust re posed in an American citizen—is made a matter of bargain and sale! When a man enters an office by such means he must necessarily feci that he owes his elevation solely to his own pocket-book, and not to tbe sponta- neous will of the people. He does not consider that he owes his allegiance to the public, but simply to hhufeajf. Can such a man serve you as faith fully as he who rides into power upon the free and incorruptible will of tbe people f To attain office he knowing ly and wilfully violates, or cauata jtfj be violated, one of the most stringent laws of his country. He must neces sarily feel the stingof conscience, and has not even that confidence in bitfl^ self that he should have. In Athens, of late years, the matter of buy ing and to a science. The first thing does when he aspires to office is to look over the stock before him and lect such leaders as he wuuts. Next he goes to work on the more obscure ballot-slingcrs, and through either the medium of small change, whisky or mean cigars, purchases enough to insure his election. Now what can we hope for so long as this demoraliz ing state of affairs exist': As a gen eral thing our elections do not reflect the will of the people, but the leugth of a candidate’s purse. Every good and honest citizen, white and black, will agree with us that 9uch au order of things is a curse to the country and that it should be remedied. But what is tbe remedy? There is but one, us you will all ad mit, and that is in /sirty urbanization. Until tiie best |>eople of this country band together and unite upon a ticket they muy expect to see their ballot- box prostituted and money usurp the place of the popular will. The poorer classes are especially interested In this needed reform, for so long as the pres ent order of things exist they are de- Mark onr prediction: The democra cy will electa President in 1884—if they make no blunders. The 8tb -congressional district is now in much greater danger of being, i ndependeotised than the 9th. The political enemies of Hon.

They may burst up long as the root of so-called indepen dence flourished in our midst, It was needless to attempt to kill tbe scions that sprang from it; but now that the very germ of this political monster lias been destroyed, it is an easy task to clear our political field. We have now pending several important local contests—municipal and county. It is highly important that good and true men be chosen, and more important, still, if possible, that they tie elected by the populur will. We suggest that at on early day the good citisens of Athens and Clarke cddrilyT'wItliout regard to past party affiliation, con vene in tbe court-house and then sol emnly pledge themselves to vote for no man who seeks to obtain office by bribery or pandering to tbe passion and prejudice of the people. Let us agree upon some fair and satisfactory moans to nominate a ticket, aud when it is selected let every law-sbiding citizen stand by the choice. We must rid our section of suffrage-bartering. We owe it as much to the caudidates as to the purification of our offices. We do not mean by tills article that we desire any change from our present excellentcorpsof officers,both munic ipal and couuty; but wo simply waut 'them reinstated as the choloe of the people, and not owe their election - to the length of their i>oeket-books.

The democracy has not before iieen triumphant in that state siuce 1852. Tiie nomination and election of Mr; Stephens had no more to do with the success of democracy In the 9tli dis- trict than the artcctfen of Ben Bailer In Massachusetts. On the other hand,' he was a clog at our heels. Mr. Speer used tbe Commoner's independent utterances as a text, and we believe his nomination east us 1,000 votes. It; was the aroused democracy of tiie 9th that elected Col. Candler, aud we don’t intend that "Uncle Alex" shall qui-' etly appropriate honors that don’t be long to him.

W. Ten Dollar Counterfeit Nolen in Cir culation. Look out for Them. It is said that a number of counterfeit ten dollar treasury notes have recently been introduced in Qcorgia, and as doubtless some will find circulation in tills city, we give tbe following descrip tion fur the benefit of our readers: They are of the same manufacture as some that appeared in Chisago in Febru ary, 18S0. The first printer of the notes was arrested In Decemlier 1880, and $25,- 000 of tiie counterfeits were seized, with part of the plates. The engraver es caped. The notes appeared- in Boston last June. One bank received twenty of these notes recently from Us deposi tors, and many business houses report ed that they had been offered the coun terfeits. The note la described as fol lows : U is letter C of the scries of 1875, under act of March 3, 18G3, signed, by:.John AUfeoo, regis ter, and John C.

It is supposed that the deceased was preparing for a liunt and had accidentally shot himself. Oue of the foulest mn(ders ever known to have been committed oc curred in Putnam county last week on the person of Mr. Stephen H. McKu- vitt, who lived about three miles from Eutontou. He left bis house about noon on Monday, and sometime In the evening the mule returned home ri- derless. Inquiries were made about him, hut it was not until Wednesday that life family became anxious and suspicion was aroused. On Thursday last his friends discovered where a body had been dragged in the cotton patch of a negro named Calvin 'John son. A party was forthwith organ- ized to follow the trail, and the body was found Id a gully on the planta tion of Mrs. Cosby, about half a mile from tiie starting point. The body was very much bruised, and the head terrible beaten and cut. genuine of this series are fill distinctive fibre paper.

Slavery in Brazil. Inlii Biio JANEfRd, pct.14.—An attempt fas made thfe wepk by 6ar*ator Otto- ni to bring up tiie. slave question in the guise of a taking amendment,, he proposing » per eetttaga tax instead of the ad capatexh one Of twenty-four milreis, and wishing to declare all owners the value of each slave within a maximum of 800 milreis, al though a likely'band is worth thrice the sum. .,He also proposed, to make the deciarod value the emancipating one and tottrike off fire per cent of it each year. But our legislators are nearly all large alade owners, and the eloquent silence which at once, fell on the August and unusually Jesting and chattering assembly, caused sen ator Ottonl to see at once that lie hod put bis foot Into it, and to sit down disconcerted. Slavery, In fact, will not be overthrown by the senate or by deputies elected under the present limited franchise. The slave owners will accept increased taxation of the slaies as a sop to the emancipatory feeling, but they ■ fear, to allow any meddling with edifice lest It should come down with a crash upon them. Death and private and pnblle eman cipation will, therefore, aa far as our legislators ore conoerned,! be left 4 to work out the slave problem. Of those two factors death is the only efficient, even though the emancipations since 1871 have reached the la rge figure, of some 80,OOOitl ready.

That leaves twenty-three democrats, twen ty-six republicans, and Mahono. ! Of the twenty-six new or re-elected senators to take their seats next March, seven have already been cho sen—three democrats, Beck, in Ken tucky, Lamar, in Mississippi, and Gibson, in Louisiana; three republi cans, Grandmother Anthony, in Rhode Island, Wilson, In Iowa, and Dolph, in Oregon; and oue readjuster, Rid- dleberger, in Virginia. Notice the disappearance forever from the senate of two of the most dis reputable beings who ever sat in any iegislatlve body— Uipple-Mitcbell, of Oregon, and Kellogg, of Louisiana, tiie last of the carpet-baggers. There are still nineteen senators to be elected, and a majority of the full senate is thirty-nine. To control tho senate, therefore, the republicans need only ten more senators, while the democrats need thirteen. Of the nineteen states which will elect senators as soon as their legisla tures meet, Maine, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Michigan, Illinois, Minnesota and Kansas, will certainly return republicans. That gives the republicans thirty-six. On the other hand, New Jersey, Del aware, West Virginia, North Caro lina, South Carolina, Georgia, Ala bama, Tennessee, Arkansas and Tex as, are equally sure to return demo crats. That gives the democrats thirty-six. Two states, Colorado and Nebraska, are still left <n doubt. It la reported that in'the new Colorado legislature there will be a tie on joint ballot. In tho uew Nebraska legislature the re- ‘ i are in a minority, and. so democrats, the balance of ppwer being in the hands of the anti- inanopolists and independents.. If Colorado and Nebraska should both elect republicans, and Mahuue and Riddieberger should continue ,Jo operate with that party, as is expect ed, the republican majority in the senate will be fou£ If Colorado should ’elect A democrat and Nebraska a re publican, the republican-reailjuster .majority would be two. If both Col orado and Nebraska should elect dem ocrats, a state of tilings not likely to occur, the senate would be a tie. If Colorado and Nebraska should elect democrats, and at the same time Ma- hone and Riddieberger should desert their republican allies in the hour of need aud vote against them, the dem- qcrats would have a majority of four. ’• The senate will probably De repub lican for two years to come.
