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.

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. GENERAL GRANTS EVENTFUL CAREER Ai.
