BANNER-WATCHMAN. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF COUNTY AND CITY 8UB9CRIPTION. |l M PER YEAR IN ADVANCE. TELEGRAPHIC SPARKS. UIBEST CIRCULATION 1* NORTHEAST GEORGIA. T. L. GANTT, Editor & Prop’r AFTERTHE battue. Now that the smoke of our little municipal skirmish has cleared away, we can take a retrospective glance over the field and perhaps profit by what is revealed. For the first time on record the young de mocracy ofAthens-theboys who have heretofore achieved such oraml political victories—were di vided yea, split into three factions, each upholding its favorite candi- date There was nothing bitter or unpleasant about the contest, but it was rather a little tilt among friends. The candidates were all true demo crats. and hence the only issue at stake was personal preference. When it was decided to reject a nomination and leave an open field. th e candidates and their friends sol- cmnly promised not to buy votes witheither money or liquor, and also to conduct the campaign upon the highest grounds. \\ e will do all parties the fairness to say that they started out nice enough, and the political arena looked as placid Judge Jasper N. Dorsey, of Gainesville, is (lead. A mail rider was robbed of his pouch in Arkansas. The liquor men elected the Mayor at Forsyth, Monroe county. A hill has been introduced in the senate to abolish the internal reve nue bureau. Nine persons were seriously in jured by the bursting of a fertilizer tank in Chicago. The Prince of Wales has been re elected Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Free Masons of England. Mahonc announces that he will attend the caucuses of the republi can senators in his character as a visiting statesman. ONLY A MOCK MARRIAGE. KATIE B .AXE'S OBUEL AWAXEMXQ FROM A BRIGHT DAZAK. Mamed SscreUy, aha Laarsa too Lau that aha vaa SamI; Decolred—A Pathort Scon. A", r. Journal. Among the passengers on the steamship State of Nebraska was a pretty woman, Mary Blake, who showed much tenderness to a sick woman and baby who accompa nied her. The sick woman told the following tale: "My name is Katie Blake, and I am from Scrably, in the county Ca van, Ireland. I don’t think that any jirl ever started out in life with as a spring morning. Hut soon one Two wealthy farmers in Indiana had trouble about a ditch, when one shot she other and then blew his own brains out. Charlotte, Dec. 5.—Sydney A. Morton, clerk in a grocery store at Monroe, ibis state, was shot and killed to-day by John Mcl-arty, col ored. Three little negro children were burned to death in a cabin in Co- •imbia county, Ga. Their parents nnd locked them up and gone to church. There was a mistrial in two cases at Columbia, S. C.. where the prose cution was conducted by Mr. Speer, and the others will doubtless go the sime way. of the candidates proposed that they rescind the contract about election eering, which was accepted. This was the first step down grade. The “brother in black” then came man fully to the front, and he was the central figure. As the final day drew mar the air was filled with ru mors about broken promises. Onc side was accused of buying up a certain degrading influence. Soor. secret jugs of whisky were smug gled into negro caucuses, and the ebony street loafers seen puf fing cigars on the corner. The fact can’t be denied or disguised that all -ides recognized the truth that as Cufl'cc went so goes the election. The day before the contest all tickets were equally confident. Each thought they had the negro vote about solid. Hut shortly after dark Monday night a bomb was thrown into the ranks of two of the aspi rants hv a well-authenticated report that *500 in cash had been distrib uted among the negroes. Investi gating committees were appointed, when, alas! the report was found to be but too true. A faint effort was made to counteract this influence, but it was too late. In fact the first bidders had the drop on the boys, and they could do nothing but suc cumb. In justice to the candidates we will say that they were innocent of this purchase, but their zealous friends did the work. The negroes went as a unit, and as the white vote was split into three factions, victory perched upon ihe banners of Africa. They held the balance of power, as will always be the case when the democrats refuse to make a nomination. The u hite vote was very nearly equally divided between the three candidates for Mayor, showing that they were all accept able and good men. Even those who differed with the Hanner- Watchman and thought a nomina tion unnecessary now acknowledge the wisdom of our course. They see the injustice of lasing a candi date’s friends the amount of hisotli- cial salary t(* achieve success, not considering the degrading elfccts of this bartering of suffrage. We will next year have a new Mayor and four new aldermen. They are all gooiLand true men, and will doubtless administer the affairs of the city with wisdom, justice and moderation. For a young man Mr. Dorsey lias a grave responsibility upon bis Jshoulders, but Vie believe that he will acquit himself with credit. The people expect of him a fearless administra tion, and that lie will enforce the same peace and order as did his predecessor. The respect and en dorsement of the respectable and law-abiding citizens of a community should he paramount to all other aims. With the exception of ad- " ministering justice and having a general supervision over the city, the power of the Mayor is circum scribed. To the wardens is allotted the real management of the city. It Mr. Dorsey will only carry’ out the pledges made in his published card, that young officer can count with certainty on the hearty support of his people, it matters not for whom they voted. It affords us pleasure to say that the re-election of Capt. D. C. Oli ver, as chief of police, is assured, if hat vigilant officer again presents his name to council. We hope, that now this question is settled, that all of our people will,' rally around our new Mayor and give him their support in making his administration a success. There •re no animosities to bury or wrongs to forgive, for none were engender ed. We did not hear of a harsh word spoken the entire campaign. The election was a little tilt between friends, and is so recognized. So let us now all accept the result with the best of feeling, determining to hereafter centre upon a ticket, and thus plump out the black mid dle man, that renders political con tests but a matter of barter nnd sale. Governor McDaniel is now ready to pay to the maimed Confederate soldiers the amounts to which they are entitled, under the law, on ac count of the loss of limbs. Chattanooga, Dec. 7.—It learned this evening that Rev. W. Harks has discovered coal and coal oil in Lansard farm on the old Chi- camauga battle ground, near this citv.

Little Rock, Dec. 6.—Seven shocks of earthquake occurred yes terday at Koveden Springs. They lasted thirty seconds, and broke the glassware and crockery in stores and houses.

To morrow morn- ing Wesley Fosey will be put on trial, and trom the outlook nothing unusual will attend the trial except the presence of the military, which is greatly regreltcd though deemed necessary. Columbia, S. C., Dec. 6.—Hor sey’s cases were tesumed to-day. Four government witnesses were examined. Their testimony was so vague, weak and contradictory that Mr. Melton asked the court to in struct the jury to render a verdict ol acquittal, which they did without leaving their seats. Another fail ure of the government to convict innocent democrats. Speer and Melton are disappointed. To-mor row the Marion case begins. the pet of my parents, and even be fore I was of age I had received several splendid offers of marriage from wealthy farmers in the neigh borhood. I was so frequently told of my beauty that I looked with dis dain upon the offers of these wor thy men, foolishly thinking they were not good enough for n:e. “While out riding one day my horse ran away, and I was saved from death by a man named John Wilson, the steward for the* rich Dr. Bobington, Justice of the Peace for the county. I thought it was very romantic. He appeared to j fall deeply in love with me and we met frequently. It was not long before I fell deeply in love with him, and when about six months af ter our first meeting he proposed marriage to me, and I eagerly ac cepted. He made me promise, however, that I would not speak of our engagement, as it would injure his prospects with a* maiden aunt from whom he was expecting mon ey at her death. “I consented to this proposition, but when he proposed a secret mar riage I refused. He would not abandon the idea, however, and at last I yielded to his oily tongue. I consented on condition our mar riage should be made know at the end of the year, whether his aunt died or not. He was satisfied, ap parently, and one stormy night we were married. That was about 1 year ago. and until two months since I was the happiest woman in the world. Then my little boy was born. My husband now changed toward me, and oqe night he told me that he had deceived me by a mock marriage, and that I had let ter come to America. “Heart-broken, ^returned to my father, as he supposed, from a visit to a friend, but when I told him my story he drove me trom the house and said he wished never to see my face again. My sister Mary pityingly would not desert me. She left the house with me and we sail ed a few day later on the State ,of Nebraska.” On finishing her sorrowfnl story the poor woman fell back exhaust ed. Superintendent Jackson ed her removal to Ward’s with her child, where she now lies in a critical condition.

In speaking of the result of the tjial by the United States authori ties in Columbia yesterday, the News and Courier is led to remark that, with officers of the calibre of District Attorneys Speer and Mel ton, the end justifies the means 1 The end they had in view in Co lumbia, was to procure the convic tion of the democrats who were ac cused of offences under the election laws. The means taken was to ex clude from \he jury every man who was known to be in political sympa thy with the accused. It was a trick worthy of the two District Attorneys, and unworthy of the great government they speak for and represent. No thought of this would have troublod them, howev er, if they had succeeded in their efforts to obtain a conviction at any price. But they have been foiled and beaten. In the very first case there is a mistrial. Any one who read the testimony in the Mitchell case could see for himself that no offense had been committed, and that Mitchell, as a police officer, confined himself to preserving order at the registration place. Yet Messrs. Speer and Mel ton demanded a conviction. Though their witnesses contradicted each other on oath, they invited the jury to believe every word that went against the accused and to disbe lieve everything else. They de pended on the jury. And the jury failed them; they packed tlie jury; they are hoist with their own pe tard; there were on the jury three men who had convictions and con sciences of their own. All honor to them! whoever they are. There is some hope of fairness and justice, even under the operation of the standing aside jugglery, when such a jury as that which tried Mitchell refuses to convict an innocent man. What a humiliation for Mr.Speer! What a humiltation for Mr. Melton! These two worthies knew that At- torny-General Brewster would ex cuse anything they did, however outrageous, if they only obtained thereby the. conviction of the ac cused Democrats.

The old negro, formerly owned by the State, purchased betore the war, because of his saving the railroad bridge over the Chattahoochee of the Western and Atlantic railroad, from fire, and made by the recent Legislature, a pensioner of the State for life, died suddenly of apoplexy this morning. He had latelv had a stroke of paralysis; hut still kept his place at the Capitol until this morn ing. This morning he was about the Capitol as usual, hut complained of feeling unwelL, and started home, He fell dead upon the street before reaching his house. The old man was seventy-five years of age. and only yesterday was looking forward with the well-known enthusiasm of his race to the coming Christmas, and said he was saving up most of his pension money of November and December for Christmas, and, I believe, had asked the Governor for permission to keep it in the Treasury until that time. Upon notice of his death, Gover nor McDaniel gave orders that Ran som he decently buried at the ex pense of the State.

After his death at the hands of an assassin, in the Western mountains, she removed to Chicago and accumulated consid erable property from teaching music.
