When s system is oppressive, it is fit
nd right for the parties most aggrieve
to make the first outcry for relief. Tin
remonstrance against unjust taxntion,
therefore, comes properly from the Souih,
(though heard loudly also from the West,
and from the great commercial interest
ef New York)—4t comes properly from
the South, we say, as a section from
Georgia as a representative state.
The federal tax, fixe times as great or
more ia its tax operation as the State tax,
ten times as great in its indirect opera
tion, is concealed and not understood,
and so not remedied.
So profound is the interest of the
whole people (save a favored few) in this
immense subject, that it needs hut to be
known to be cared for. Our object now
ia to do our part to make it known, as
the first step towards a remedy.”

SHOTS FOR THE BOYS.
-ftgn: H. O.-Turner, ef the Second, has
at last caught the ear of his district. Mr,
Turner is one of the ablest lawyers in
Congress end one of the most expert
enced legislators. lie possesses the
confidence of the people of his district,
hut like Mr. Hammond, his studious na
turn and forced habits of retirement have
kept him aloof from the people and he
seemed to lack the elements of migne
tistn because he bad not felt that warmth
which comes from personal contact. The
conm*quencc was that while Mr. Ham
mond failed of a renomination, Mr. Tur
ner returned by th* barest ms- i
jority by the district con
vention which let down the bars of the
two-thirds rule to nut him in. And yet
these two were the shiest members of
the Georgia delegation in Washington.
Mr. Turner has spun some able con-
Ktilutienal arguments in the House, and
as chairman of the Committee on Privi
leges and Elections, has been conspicu
ous for his fairness and legal strength.
But Mr. Turner's speeches have proba
bly never reached the popular ear of the
second district until Tuesdiy last. The
case was a contest from Rhode Island.
Mr. Turner unearthed several examples
of bribery in the Congressional election,
and declared that New England electors
were so thrifty that they would have to
be paid to celebrate the fourth of July,
lie was taunted with the small vote cast
in his district, last November, but re
torted that the republican party had
abandoned its position in Georgia and
that the chairman of the district repubii
can committee had endorsed him as a
suitable representative. When Mr. liou
telle, of Maine, declared that the demo-
cralic party m the Maine districts had
never ceased ta fight a hopeless cause or
to Oppose Mr. Boutelle, Mr. Turner re,
plied:
“If there was a democrat in tha gentle
man's district who would not get up be
fore day in the morning and pay his own
expenses for the privilege of voting
against the gentleman, he denounced him
as no gentleman."
This brought down the House, and
Mr. Turner is to-day more solid with
' -th* boys” than he has been since the
commencement of his term.’ He baa
a for one moment abandoned the law
F brief and show himself a good rough
and tumble fighter. He will have a walk
over next time.
Congressman Barnes understands this
point. Leaving the Oklohama treaties
after an exhaustive argument, he turned
upon Mr. Springer, of Illinois, who de
dared that Georgia had maltreated the
Cherokres* whom this gentleman
now so ready to protect,and answered:
Mr. Barnes—It ia an unfair mode ef
argument to make an attack on my State
as the gentleman has done while in con,
elusion. I will say wbatbe has said
not true according to history. He may
hunt up any argument he pleases—
Mr. Springer—I did not yield for
speech. The gentleman has aaid it is
not true.
Mr. Barnes—I will say that what he
has said is not true, and even if it were
true it would show that I have improved
up >n ray ancestry and he has degenent
fd fi—n his. [Lau-birr And applause.]
TIMMONS' LAST ACT.
If there is any faith in surveying corps
or energetic railroad projectors, Athens
is on the verge of a great railroad boom.
The transit and chain are marking otr the
earth in Clarke county, and lines of stakes
are simultaneously going into and com
ing out of Athens. The theodolite is
bearing down upon us like Rtnall pieces
of artillery. The Macon and Athens
Railroad force are working their way
into the city and the Georgia, Carolina
and Northern corps are just working out.
They are making excellent headway this
fine we ther, and unless unheard of com
binations come about, both lines will he
running into Athens in a reasonable
time.
Those who know Gen. Hoke and Mr.
Hoke Smith on one side, and Mr. Machen
on the other, do not share in any belief
but that these are good, honest compa
nies, sincere in their projection and
pie in their resources, or that they will
stop anywhere short of actual construc
tion. Deals and scoops have made the
people chary of railroad enterprise, hut
Athens and along the lines of these
roads there arc the most undoubted
lienees of genuine and immediate work.
Athens takes heart from her railroad
nections.

lr exhausted with the lonjr ind fatigue-
ing ride. Again did Capt. Billups beg
hi« men not to stop until a belter place
for defence was reached, in the cuiil
that they were attacked. He explained
to them that they were in a most exposed
locality, while all around and in close
rifle shot was a wilderness from which
it would be impossible to di-dod^e an
attacking enemy. liut the men ridi
culed* the idea of an attack, and dis
mounted, took otT the saddles from their
tired beasts, and were lolling around the
camp, some eating, laughing and chatting,
arhile others were asleep. In the mean
time the stealthy savages were preparing
to slaughter the game that had so inno
cently walked into the very trap
they had set for them. They
crept hack to the point where
the whites had entered the peninsulr,
and placed a strong guard there that
could not be forced. Others then sur
rounded the cainp of the whites, hid in
the swamps and Behind trees, and at a
rignal poured a most murderous and
galling tire in the ranks of the whites.
In an instant the wildest confusion reign
ed. Several of Capt. Hill ups’ men fell
at the tirst tire. The others tried to
to inilke barricades of their horses, and re
turn the tire, hut not an Indian could he
seen. The only s'gns of their presence
were clouds of white smoke that came
from behind trees and busies, then fol
lowed by the thud of the unerring bullet
as it struck some white man or boast.
Capt, Hillups made an attempt to lead his
men out of the trap, and mounting their
horses tried to force a passage hack to the
op'-n land, lint as we stated, the only
point of exit was now guarded by sav
ages, win* met the remnant of this doom-
ed band «>f whites w ith their war whoops
and a perfect hail bullets. CapLj'-il-
lups soon fell, shot dead in bis traces.
This spot then became a perfect slaugh
ter pen. From their places of conceal
ment the Indians picked otf one by one
the whites, without sustaining any loss
themselves. Of this devoted hand only
two or three men escaped alive to tell
the story of the massacre, and to lead a
company of soldiers to the battle ground,
now strewn with the bodies of their com
rades. Not an Indian was to ho seen.
After mutilating the bodies of their vic
tims, they succeeded in crossing the river
and escaped til punishment. *1 he bodies
of Capt. Ilillups and his men were col
lected and buried in one grave. Their
fate was one of the most horrible inci
dents connected with the settlement of
Georgia.

COL.CANDLER VINDICATED.
We have investigated the eomplaint
against Col. Candler, and find that it is
net true that he had the place of paying
off postal employees changed from Ath
ens to Lula in order to b« aide to control
all the patronage on the North-Eastern
railroad. He has made no such effort.
No change has been made that we are
aware of, and w e do not believe any lias
been luadc, and if any were made it
would not give him the control of pat
ronage.
The North-Eastern road is seventy-
three miles long. One-tenth of the road
is in the eighth district and nine-tenths
in the ninth. Then- arc two postal
clerks on the road, the eightli district has
alwayi had one of them and the ninth tiie
other. Mr. Grier is an Athens man—an
eighth district man—was appointed
from the eigth district, lives in the eighth
district, and always lived there except a
short time, when he was in Gainesville
temporarily as a republican appointee,
six or eight months ago. When he was
requested to resign. Col. Candler, at the
instance^ his friends in Athens, pre
vented hiif removal.
It is trip that Mr. Ashford, the newly
AppointedLoatalCol. Canijlerji
son-in-law? He is nevertheless a sober,
honest, capable business man, a thorough
workin^Semocrat, and we cannot see
that the fact that he happeus to be son-
in-law to a congressman disqualifies biiu
for a position for which he is otherwise
eminently qualified. It has always been
the custom of Col. Candler to distribute
the patronage he controls equally amon
the several counties of his district, and
under this rule it was Hall's time, and
he gave this appointment to the appli
cant in Hall who is best qualified.

very important criminal casea
have been tried at Oconee court and two
well known prisoner* arraigned for high
crimes and misdemeanors.
Timmons, who standi convicted of
forgery, is one of the most remarkable
criminals we have ever heard of. Hia
conduct on the trial reminds us of
Guiteau. He seemi to have abandoned
the directions of able council and decided
to go it alone for the purpose of making
a “speech.” His oratory has landed him
in the penetentiary once before, and if
the shorthand report published in the
Bakniu-Watchman ia correct. Judge
Hutchins should rid the rostrum of this
conspicuous figure for soma time t°
come.
Timmons has been called the Monte
Cristo of Oconee county, from his tire'
leas and inventive methods for making
his escape. Steal hoops, glass bottles and
broken crockery have served as sharp
knives in the hands of Timmons, and the
strongest grating has failed to stand be*
fore hia skilful touch. The penitentiary
keepers will have an interesting time
keeping Timmons confined. U* is ex
pert snd resourceful ind may soon been
the stump again.
But Timmons' chief offense was com
mitted on the day of his trial. We do
not refer to his attempt to escape from
the guard, but hia calling one of the
Banner-Watchman reporters a dude.
There have been two or three reporters
of the Bansee-Watchman in Walkina-
villo recently, but we cannot now recall a
aingle oae who can figure as a dude. A
man who wears a “peaked hat" may be
responsible for hia disfigurement, but a
man who is a dude suffers under an in
firmity which he cannot escape. Wo
leave it to the citixena of Oconee county
whether or not the agent or editor of
thia paper is a dude, and we claim pro
tection from a virtuous public opinion
nnd sn upright judge.
FEDERAL TAXATION.
The Wsshington Chronicle is repro
ducing the admirable articles of Hon
Samuel Barnett on the subject of fed
ora! taxation and tariff reform, which
were printed in the Atlanta Constitution
before that able and agile journal leaped
into the top loft of high tariff.
Mr. Barnett rightly aays:
“From the present iniquitous system
of Federal taxation, no section derives
advantage; the North snd East suffer the
least, but even these sections suffer - se
rious detriment, while tho seeming ad
vantages are apparent only. Tho West
suffers, bat the harm is ameliorated by
abundant fresh land, by fresh immigra
tion from the East and from Europe, and
byimportad capital. The chief‘and
least compensated loser, is the South;
sad she take for th* co-operation of
ftllew-aufferers of all aoctioea, to remedy
•rils which sorely afflict all parti of this
|rsat country, and all honest industry.
A Story of Blood That an Old Per-
trait IleralU—A Savage Slaughter
on the Bunksof theCbattnhoochee
in 1830.
Watkinsviiae, Ga_ Jen. 29.—[Spe
cial.] In the parlor of the hotel in this
old town are two portraits—one of a
lovely lady, the other of a courtly man,
in the prime of life. In the background
to the latter picture are several hunters
and a pack of hounds, evidently expres
sive of the taste ol the subject of the
picture. He is dressed in the fashion
of more than half a century ago, with
ruffled-bosom shirt snd stiff and cramp
ed neckwear. You could see, however,
in the expression of the faco and the keen
glance of the eagle eye courage and firm
ness—characteristics necessary in the
pioneers of our great country.
1 was so impressed with the picture
that 1 felt there must be a history con
nected with it, and called mine host. Dr.
Billups, into tho room,when ho sat down
and gave it ine..
“That,” he replied, “is a picture of my
father, Capt. Bob. Billups, while the lady
is my mother. *My father was massacred
when 1 was ten years of age—in 183G—
but I have as vivid a recollection of thc
horrible event as if it were hut yester
day.”
“Massacred!” I exclaimed, “what do
you mean?”
“lie was killed by the Indians,” was
the reply, “at Shepard's Landing, on
the Chattahoochee river. We were liv
ing in Stewart county at that time. That
section of our state and also .Maha oa
across tho river was pretty thickly set
tled by Indians, but for a long time they
had been quiet. Then came the out
break in '3U, that resulted in the burning
of the Roanoake, on the Chattahoochee.
Terror spread throughout the country,
and then came to the ears of the whites
fresh stories of burnings snd deeds of
bloodshed every day. My father, to
gether with all the other white men,
sent their families out of danger. 1 have
a distinct recollection of my last parting
with him, and oar journey. The burn
ing of Roanoke inflamed the whites so
thoroughly that every man who could
shoulder a gun took the field, or rather
woods, for the country was then a wil
derness, to punish the red devils. My
father, with 35 other men, became so in
furiated that they did not wait for the
arrival of the regular soldiers, but start
ed out with their shot guns and rifles to
trail and punish the Indians. My father
had considerable experience in warfare,
having been in the war of 1812 and also
aeverml Indian compaigns. The party-
soon struck the trail of the savages, for
the whole country was then covered
with a dense growth of rank grass,
and the passage of any man or animal
through it left a plainly defined path.
The Indians were loaded down with
plunder, so they could not travel very fast,
and tha pursuen rapidly gained on them.
Tha wtutoa ware bn horseback, and had
with them enough 'provisions to last for
several days. In going down the Geor
gia bank ,of the Chattahoochee, they
came to a place called Sheppard’a Land
ing. The river was on one side, while
on the other was one of those impene
trable swamps or lagoons, so common in
Southwest Georgia. The point of land
between these two formed a peninsula
with a very narrow atrip of firm ground
A* * mouth. The trail of the savages led
into this tongue of land, and there the
gallant horsemen pushed. Capt. Billups
advised his men to exercise the greatest
caution, or they' would be ambuscaded
and killed, hut as it waa a volunteer force
there waa no discipline among them.
They had overy confidence in their
prowess and tha greatest contempt for the
Indiana. So they recklessly passed into
the trap. After riding a short distance,
the party dismounted and decided on a
rest, as they now thought that the enemy_
could not escape and they were "

Railroad camp between Canton and Hall

outside parties, ami furnished with mon
ey and clothes to make my way otf. I
had no idea of leaving the country, asmv
wife and children lived in Athens and 1
did not think that any one would ever
try to capture me again. I got my wife

1 will be again consigned to the chain
gang to serve out my unexpired term.
1 shall ask for a pardon, and hope all my
old friends in Athens will do their best
to secure it for me.” *
Mr. 1). M. Wilson, the prosecutor of.
Seagraves afid brother-in-law of Kd |
ISoyal, the man who was killed, had
charge of Seagraves, and gives the fol
lowing account of hi.s c piure:
% *I got tw • men to go with me, and I pro
ceed* d to Madison county, where I had
been informed that Seagraves was living.
I went below his house a mile, and left
our horses ami went back near Sea-
graves’ house ami lay out in a pine
thicket during the remainder of the
night snd secreted myself. I knew it
would not do for us to go to the housejn the
night, and 1 waited for daylight to make
the capture. Just at daylight 1 looked
up the road and saw a man coming down
it towards where myself and party were
secreted. 1 could not tell whether it
was Seagraves or not until he came close
up to where 1 was ami 1 saw it was Buck
Seagraves. I immediately covered him
with my pistol and ordered him to throw
up his hands. He threw up one of his
hands, and the gentlemen with me or
dered him to throw* up his other hand.
This Seagraves did and he was ordered
to put his hands behind him and cross
them. I still kept him covered with my
pistol until his hands were tied and 1
saw that there was no danger in him try
ing to get away, ami after bringing him
to oKthvns un led his hands and he is
now free. He submitted like a lamb,
and has given us no trouble. There is a
reward of fifty dollars for Seagraves,
which I will get as soon as I deliver him
to the l’rincipal Keeper of the Peniten
tiary. I am the prosecutor in the case
and I am willing to sign a petition for
his pardon, lie was quietly living on a
fatm in Madison county at the time of
his arrest, taking care of his wife and
little children and making an honest liv-
ingjntid 1 hope pardon can be secured for
him.”
Seagraves is not a bad man by any
means—has a good, honest face, and has
always been as true as steel to his friends.
It was a drunken quarrel in which he
committed the deed, and his friends, wc
have no doubt, will try secure him a
pardon.
