“UNDER WHICH FUR, BEZ0NIAN7”
Jetlerson Davis is a citizen of the
h ted States, and a legal voter
>r same as any other citizen, in
y state, when he has conformed
tlie state laws regulating the
-r.chi'c lie never ceased to be a
’ zen Under the fifteenth amand-
t'-nt he can be barred from hold

ngaging in insurrection or rebel-
"n. He lias never been tried, the
eminent abandoning the case.
It has long been openly charged
that a ring existed in Atlanta, under
the manipulation of Joseph £.
Brown, whose mission it is to con
trol the politics of Georgia and
shape them to the interest of the
wire-pullers. It is also stated that
the power of this old ring is so
great, that the first act on the part
of a state officer after his election
is to give himself up body and con
science to the rulers of the afore
said ring, • while every ambitious
politician, before he can hope for
promotion, is to fall upon his face
before this band of political wire
pullers and exclaim, “The Atlanta
ring is great, but Joseph E. Brown
is its prophet!” Several times have
the people rebelled against the dic
tation ot these self-appointed mas
ters and elected men to office with
out consulting their wishes; hut it
did not take the smooth-tongued
Joseph long to draw them into his
net and mould them to his will like
clay in the hands of the potter. In
fact, the impression has gone forth
that to secure position in Georgia
you can ignore the people; but must
pay tribute at the shrine of the At
lanta ring and bow the knee to the
great leader. For long years has
this outrage been growing and gain
ing fresh strength, until it has not
only swallowed up Atlanta, but has
vidette outposts in every county in
Georgia, guarded by journalistic
strongholds throughout the state.
You can always tell one of these
ringsters from the discreet silence
he observes in regard to the acts of
his King, and how quickly he picks
up and repeats the arguments and
defense parroted him from head
quarters. We nave long watched
with indignation the growth ot this
political monster and trembled for
the future of our state politics. We
occasionally raised our weak voice
in protest, but it was quickly
drowned hy the thunders of ap
plause around the throne of _ the
great political King. We saw it was
needless to fight against such
odds, and patiently waited for some
arbitrary step that we saw must
soon come, and which alone could
arouse our people and party to their
danger. That step has now been
taken, and the issue is fairly drawn
as to whether Brown and his Atlan
ta ring, or the great people of Geor
gia, whom he is elected to repre
sent, shall rule the political des
tiny of the state. When that of
ficer, in the face of the indignant
protest of his party and constitu
ents, united with our political eife-
mies and by his vote alone fastened
upon us for life a man that had
been repudiated and spurned by his
party, he that hour hurled defiance
in the face of every democrat in Geor
gia and plainly aid that he, and not
the people, was the ruler of the
state. This insult was so boldly
given and defiant, that a whirlwind
of indignation swept from the
mountains to the seaboard. Men
and newspapers that have stood
steadfast frienJs by Senator Brown
through good and ill report, unit
ed with the multitude in denounc
ing an act of arbitrary defiance upon
the part of a public servant tnat
would have called forth a protest in
most down-trodden dynasty of the
East. The people felt that they
had been insulted and a self-drawn
political ruler placed over them.
Never in the history of a free peo
ple has such a defiant outrage on
the public will been perpetrated.
All at once the scales fell from the
eyes of a blinded people. They saw
the man they had elected to rep-
sent them, through a coup d’etat
that even surpassed that of Napole
on, grasp the sceptre of power
and hurl-his gauntlet at the feet
of the people to whom he owed
allegiance. With gi»at pleasure
we watched the storm ot indigna
tion sweeping throughout Georgia,
carrying all on in its path. It showed
that our people had not lost their

: v -In Flat Creek township, in Bun
combe, county, N. C., about the
zoth of last month, a young insn by
the name of Jenkins, who had been
sick with fever for several weeks,
was thought to. have died, He be
came speechless, hfs flesh cold and
clammy, and he conld not be arous
ed, and there appeared to be no ac
tion of the pulse and heart. He was
thought to be dead and was prepar
ed for burial, and it was noticed at
thait time that there was no stiffness
in any of the limbs. He was buried
the day after his supposed death,
and when put in the coffin, it was
remarked that he was as limber as
a'live man. There was much talk
in the .neighborhood about the case,
and the opinion was frequently ex
pressed that Jenkins had been bur
ied alive. Nothing, however, was
done abount the matter until the
totb instant, when the coffin was
taken up for the purpose of removal
and interment in the family burying
ground in Henderson county. The
coffin being of wood, it was sugges
ted that it be opened in order to see
if the body was in such condition
that it could be hauled twenty miles
without being put in a metallic cas
ket The coffin was opened, and to
the great astonishment and horror
of his relatives the body was lying
face downward, the hair had been
pulled from the head in large quan
tities, and there were scratches of
the Anger nails on the inside of the
lid and sides of the coffin. These
facts caused great excitement, and
all acquainted personally with the
facts, believe Jenkins was in 1
tiance, or that animation was ap
parently suspended, and that he
was not really dead when buried,
and that he returned to conscious
ness, only to And himself buried and
beyond help. The body was then
taken to Henderson and. reinterred.
The relatives are distressed beyond
measure at what they term criminal
carelessness . in not being abso
lutely sure Jenkins he was dead
before he was buried.
