Hat ft sensible article on the subject on the
subject ol 4 ‘Tho next Fair.** It says:
In connection with tho City Council of At
lanta, they laid such plana will make the
Fair a complete success and prevent the dis
appointment which was so general at the last
Fair. We hope they will pretent the nuisances of
tournaments, velocipede rinks, negro minstrels
and fat women shows inside the walls, for the
benefit of private individuals. Everything in
the enclosure should be for one price, and if
private par ies want to set np picayoniflh side

THE ATLANTA INTELLIGENCER, (DEM.,)
Sngges*s the propriety of abolishing the
offices whereby onr State Emigration officers
and agents hold positions, and of placing the
whole business machinery of emigration in
tho hands of the State Agricultural Society.
It says:
Even from our own State, heavy emigrations
have been constantly going on, and many
parts of our Southern Atlanlio States are
vastly deficient in the labor necessary to till
their soil While this depletion is going on,
nothing acetns to be doing to supply the de
ficiency The State of Georgia has an emi
grant ogent employed at a salary of three
thousand dollars per annum, and a foreign
agent at a salary of fifteen hundred dollars
per annum; bnt if they have ever been instru
mental in bringing one emigrant into oar
Stales, we have yet to iiear of it. Would it
not be better to abolish these offices and place
the matter in the hands of the Agricultural
Society of the State, who would gladly take
thin matter in band and do something that
would prove beneficial to our State and people ?
THE GRIFFIN STAB, (DEM.,)
Speaking of the payment of twenty-thousand
dollars into the Treasury by the new Superin

Considering that this is only one month’s
work of tho new Superintendent, it isn't bad;
over one hundred aud twenty thousand dol
lars clear profit in one month! Who knows
but what liiodgett may tarn out to be the
great Georgia financier at last. At this rate
he could almost make the State ltoad pay the
interest on the national debt.
THE GRIFFIN GEORGIAN, (DEM.)
Speaking of the ratification of the XVth
Amendment, says:
The Amendment is not so bud alter nil,
but you see it whs forced upon an unwilling
people by the pressure of the bayonet. It is
to be enforced, you know, by appropriate leg

indebtedness to his family. Mr. Olark
then asked if, since his marriage, he had
not become surety on the bond of a cer
tain Government official. After a little
hesitancy an affirmative answer was given;
whereupon counsel wished to know if the
witness did not at that time swear that he
was worth 360,000.
To this query no reply was made, and
for a few moments a deep and sudden si
lence ensued. Finally Mr IfiiihtB, of
counsel for plaintiff, broke the oppressive
silence by rising to address the Court,
and at that moment Mr. Miller, who was
standing just in front of tho jury-room
door, turned to the Jndge and said, “May
it please your Honor, I wish to make a
few remarks,” and immediately after
clasped his hands to his head and ex
claimed, ‘T feel—as if—I was getting—
paralysis of the brain 1” and commenced
sinking to the floor, uttering such
prayerful ejaculations as “Lord, have
mercy on my soull O Lord, bless me and
pardon my sins!” &c., or words to that
effect.
Before reaching the floor he was caught
in the arms of persons near by, and car
ried back into the jury-room. On reach
ing there he espied a gentleman ap
proaching who he said had endeavored to
ruin him, and he made an effort to get
hold of the person, but was prevented.
The excitement in the court-room at
this time was intense, every one starting
to his feet to get a better view of the
strange scene and its author. In another
moment, however, Mr. Millfcr having
broken loose from those having him iu
charge in the jury-room, with pallid face,
dislieavelled hair, rolling eyes, and uu-
distinguishoble mutterings, rushed, with
long strides, into the cOurt-room, press
ing his elbows to his sides, and puffing
the wine in gusts from his mouth. This
sudden and terrifying irruptions, as well
it might, startled Judge, bar, and audi
ence, and a general stampede ensued.
Neither the lawyers nor the audience
stood upon the order of their going, bat
went at once.
After getting out to a point in front of
the Judge, Mr. Miller was caught by
Sheriff Mace, who, unaided, carried him
into the clerk's room, and from thence
had him conveyed to his hotel
This sudden removal of the witness,
and the disturbed condition in which it
left the nerves of the bench and bar,
made an adjournment necessary; which
was had.
We have not attempted to depict the
absolute frightfalness of the scene, as
that would be impossible. Those present
have no desire ever to see another like it.
In all his years at tho bar and on the
bench Judge Hickey avers that he never
beheld anything equal to it
It is thought the strain to which Mr.
Miller's mind h- d been put daring the
preceeding day or two, and tho excite
ment consequent thereupon, tended to a
temporary unscttlement of his reason, re
salting as above.
He was confined to his bed several days
after the attack.

Struck Insane on tl&e Witness-Stand.
From tao Chillicothe (O.) Register, Feb. 12.
One of tho most exciting and startling
scenes that ever occurred in court at this
city took place late in the afternoon of
yesterday week, jnst as we were going to
press. The particulars are about as fol
lows:
At the time mentioned the cose in pro
gress was that of Catharine Miller, who
sued by her next friend, C. W. Gilmore,
vs. John S. Mace and others, the suit be
ing brought to recover household goods
levied on as belonging to Thomas Miller
(Mrs. Miller's husband,) and which the
plaintiff claims as hers.
Mr. Miller was on the stand nearly all
day Thursday, and subjected to a rigid
examination, in tho courso of which he
testified, in effect, that he was not pos
sessed of any property at tho time or
since his marriage—that the capital and
property used and occupied by him was
his wife's.
On Friday afternoon Mr. Miller was
again called to the stand to undergo
cross-examination byM. L. Clark, Esq.;
in the course of which the latter gentle
man, in endeavoring to show a discre
pancy between Mr. Miller’s present state
ments and those made some time since,
asked if he had not, several years ago,
stated to Mr. W. H. Reed that he was
then worth quite a large sum of money.
The answer to this was rather indefinite—
that he might or might not have so
stated; but if he did, the meaning was
.that he was worth said sum outside of his
H mse, will have ended in a few days after
ts reassembling. Those striving to carry out
the will of the nation in the State, and to per
fect tho only policy that can give' us peace
and thrift, will be discouraged, disgusted. The
result can bo easily seen. Congress
will have - been guilty of the high
crime of running the State and the United
States to vast expense, simply to scat
the colored members in the Legislature, there
to remain a few days after their right to
such seats bad already been settled by our
own Courts. Even the your Government can
not believe Congress is capable of such
folly, not to say criminal conduct
The object evidently ia to decide recon
struction to have ended at the present time.
It is intended that all the consequences of
euch decision shall flow heuco. Of these, a
few may be named—such cs that the Govern
or and the Legislature shall hold over, as if
elected to fill the current terms of office, and
the next full terms following; that State House
officers shall be elected anew; that Judges
shall be appointed anew; that Farrow and
Whiteley shall be admitted to 6eats as our
Senators—at least bo

A MISER’S WILL.
Communicated.]
Why They Should be Admitted.
It is customary for our people to talk aud
write abont the admission of our Senators and
Representatives to seats iu Congress as if it
were a sort of natural right cast upon them,
and as it nothing had happened to divest that
right. The privilege of admission to seats
was claimed for Stephens and Johnson with
something like an imperious air. This posi
tion was abandoned with great reluctanco. A
mighty struggle insued, the like of which it is
to be hoped our country will never again wit
ness. Nothing bnt tho mighty voice of the
whole people of the United Statos, as pro
nounced iu the lust Presidential election, could
suffice to convinco us that another revolJtion
could not be invoked to vindicate our fancied
rights. That voice left no room for doubt.—
Slowly aud. suddenly the great mass of public
opinion moved lmck upon the ground that
Hill and Miller most be admitted. Here now,
as in the second line of defenses, the forces of
public opinion have encamped fora season.—
There are no special indications as yet that a
panic is imminent, or a surrender a necessity.
Nevertheless, while the column moves steadily
and in good order, be it remembered that
a retreat has been commenced. No shouts of
defiance are now heard. All is silent along
the front. The end is near; and all begin to
realize tho fact.
Taking leave of figures and coming
to the point, why should not Farrow
and Whiteley be admitted os our Senators ?
Because, says one, your government, in all its
branches, has recognized the fact that recon
struction in Georgia was complete upon the
election of Hill and Miller ; and of course, a
great nation like this, is not going to stultify
itself. That is not quite correct. It would
have been complete, doubtless, long before
this, bat for the intemperate zeal of that indi
vidual who talks of your government. The
crowning aet to complete reconstruction—the
admission of onr Senators—has never been ac
complished. Then, there seems to be a mis
take about this matter. That is the trouble.
The fact has not been fully recognized that
our government is master of the situation ; and
that it will continue to be until the evil as
viewed by that same government has been
fully cured. Has Congress not already said
so in language not to be mistaken? Both
Houses have excluded the members elect from
tho State. They a little while ago passed an
act to perfect reconstruction, which is claimed
to havo been perfected eighteen months
ago. The Executive Deportment has
rescinded the military order turning
over the State to the civil authority, thereby
leaving it precisely where it was before that
order was issued, to wit: in a provisional form.
All this seems plain. But suppose you shut
your eyes to all this, having determined in de
fiance of facts that the result will work out
just to suit yourself. Let it be assumed that
the government has not declared the State
provisional, still, is it likely, as you think, that
when she does speak, she will declare that re
construction was consummated upon the elec
tion of Hill and Miller, and that these estima
ble gentlemen will be preferred to those claim
ing the same seat • upon the doctrine that re
construction is not yet complete, and will not
be until Senators and Representatives shal
have been admitted ?
That is hard to believe. What does this
theory of reconstruction rest upon? Why
need reconstruction ? Georgia was one
of tho original thirteen. The answer sug
gests itself at once. Geoigia lias been
guilty of rebellion. She was a slave State
prior thereto. The nation is note free. That
nation, in contempt called your govern
ment, has determined that rebellion must
yield up its fortresses as constituted in
the frame work of society and in the laws of
the State. It has been decreed that slavery
shall not exist, neither in name, noi in reality;
neither in the laws nor in the habits of thought
that prevail among the people. An entire
reconstruction of the whole body politic is ab
solutely necessary. Otherwise wc have neith
er the advantages of slavery which ended in
rebellion, nor the fruits of freedom, which it
is hoped will make us truly great and happy.
To accomplish the change a start must be
made. This start requires machinery. That
machinery must be a State government work
ing according to the principles and in tho di
rection of the General Government. Such a
Government must not only be set up, but
must be allowed some time to turn tbq cur
rents of society in the right direction. To
admit Hill aud Miller will be to set up the
lequircd machinery, only to be immediately
torn down again; for the present Legislature,
i! reconstructiod was consummated upon the
admission of our Representatives to tho lower
From tlio New York Son of Wednesday.]
A few days ago Mr. George Fox, a re
tired gentleman, considered very wealthy,
died in his residence, 517 Third avenue.
He had a parsimonious reputation, and
was known to old residents as the miser
of the Third avenue. It was not known
that he had any relatives. The circum
stances of his death was duly reported in
the Sun. It was stated that he bad left a
large amount of property. After the fu-
neral a most remarkable will turned up.
The old man had been a staunch sup
porter of the Govern ment. He had in
variably denounced any expression of se
cession sentiments, and bad taken a great
interest in tho payment of the national
debt.
Mr. Fox's will was recently sent to Sur
rogate Hutchings for probate. It is as
follows:

An Important Insurance Decision.
Judge Smith, of St. Louis, has just render
ed n decision of general interest to tho in
surance companies. Two individuals effected
a considerable insnraneo on the St. Lonis Mu
seum and Opera and Fine Art Gallery in tho
Mississippi Valley company. Subsequently,
the collection of curiosities was removed and
the policies transferred so os to cover the fur
niture and building after it was converted into
a theater. The building being destroyed by
fire the company refused to pay the insurance
on the ground that tho transfer was
made by a clerk who had no author
ity to make it, and that the busi
ness afterward carried on made the risk far
more hazardous, there being a bar, nnd
liquids being supplied to the audience. The
parties thereupon brought suit for the whole
amount, and Judge Smith decides in their fa
vor. Neither does the fact that spirits were
kept in the bar for daily consumption inval
idate the policy, nor can an insurance compa
ny avoid the responsibility for a clerk’s ac
tion*. Whatever business an individual trans
acts over the counter of an insurance office,
be he a genuine or a bogus clerk, must be ac
cepted as the business of tho company. If ir
responsible clerks are retained in their em
ploy, or if persons are allowed such access to
their office as to bo able to successfully pass
themselves off as clerks, tho companies arc re-
sponsible-for their acts.
Persecution of the Israelites in the Dan
ubian Principalities.—M. Cremieux sup
plies (January 14) to tho Journal de Paris a
long and painful account of the cruel treat
ment of the Jews in Roumania. Some shock
ing sufferings have been inflicted on these
people in Consequence of a recent circular is
sued by the Minister of the Interior ordering
the expulsion of all Jews from the rural dis
tricts. The order was carried out harshly and
unrelentingly by the peijudicial agents of the
Government. In ths village of Bacan the
Jews were plundered, beaten, and driven out
of their homes in midwinter, and two chil
dren perished from exposure. In the district
ofDaicii ninety-four families, representing
about 5000 persons, were ruthlessly expelled
from their homes.
In spite of these and other acts of croelty
and injustice the Minister nf the Interior
obliged to expose himself to tho legislative
chamber for not doing more to satisfy the hon
orable members. One member suggested that
all Jew3 should be made incapable of holding
property, and another deputy went the entire
animal and boldly suggested that they should
be drowned in' tho Danube. Not a single
voice was raised in defense or remonstrance
on behalf of the Jews. The modern Rouma
nians have some right to boast that they aro the
decendants of tho ancient Dacli, for they in
herit at least their barbarity.

A Romantic Incident in tlie Life of a Wis
consin Justice of tlie Peace—“May they
be Happy Yet.”
From the Milwaukee ■Wisconsin, Feb. 3 ]
Last Fall, a well known citizen of La Crosse
county, a venerable but halo and hearty old
gentleman, eighty-three years of age, met with
a most romantic incident while on an Eastern
trip. By some accident the train was delayed,
and the gentleman, Justin Jacobs, Esq., went
to a residence near. Judge of the old man’s
surprise to find that tho lady of the house was
one whom he knew in early life. Indeed,
when both were young, in -their East
ern home, they had loved each otk
er; but the fates, as the fates will
sometimes do such cruel work, separated
them. Our readers may be sure that 'Squire
Jacobs was glad to see the lady, and so the
lady was glad to see tho 'Squire. ifoth bad
traveled a long way down the hill of life's
journey, aud both had lost their consorts.
What more natural than they should talk over
the olden time and revive the affectionate
scenes of early life, and what more natural
than that there should spring from-this re
vival tho old love, kindled anew, and that it
should burn into a bright fiimo? Such was
the case. Then and there they again plighted
their troth, aud the 'Squire caico ho: ie a
happy man, and thanking Providence for the
railroad accident which gave him a new’ Iuusq
of life and life’s joys.
We learn from the LaCrosse Republican
that in a few days 'Squire Jacobs leaves his
-0 go East, that his happiness miy be
made complete. Senator Benner aud Post
master Lottridge, of LaCrosse, were appoint
ed a committee to ask the old gentleman “at
what period in life does nuptial felicity be
come extinguished?” and, as the joke is too
good to keep we must give the old Veteran’s
answer : “Boys, you must ask some nan older
than I am whereupon the committee ad
journed sine die. r V '■■■
The good old 'Squire is a hale aud vigorous
man, who walks his four miles daily to the
West Salem Postoffice for hi3 “ mail ^matter.”
He is a great reader. A few years ago, while
bolding court as a Justice of tho Peace, he
summarily settled a sadly snarled qiarrel be
tween two-litigants, the conflicting testimony
of whose witnesses had •• badly mixed” the
coart and aadience about a spotted calf that
was the causo of litigation and strife.; ’Squire
Jacobs, with a look of unuttcrablo dfegust for
all concerned, decided thus: 44 1 dismiss the
suit and pay the costs myself, if the parties
will cry quits.” Amid rip-roarioas ipplause,
no ono appealed from the decisldn of the
court
'Squire Jacobs is a hero evety inci of him.
May God bless him in his new journey in life,
and may it bo a happy one for him i and his,

he live a thousand years, and be the happiest,

Late Mexican News.
By the arrival of the steamship* T b.-.'co,
which vessel lef Yera Cruz on tho 13th lost.,
we were kindly furnished with the following
items ot news by a passenger:
The telegraph connecting Tamico with Yera
Cruz, Mexico, and other interior points was
completed on the 12tb.
A pronnneiamento, confined to the locality,
was issued at Tamiahan, fifty miles south of
Tampico, on the 9th inst. A light ensued be
tween the Government, or Jaarez party, and
the insurgents, in which the latter won a com
plete victory.
An attempt was made, on the night of the
8tb, on the railroad cut through the Ghiqui-
huite Mountains, fitly miles from Yera Cruz,
to kidnap Mr. Thos. Bmuifif, the American su
perintendent of construction on the road; bat
owing to the presence of a few intrepid foreiga-
ers, it failed. Tho object was to extort a large
sum of his ransom. A year or so ago, a

there will be a better state of things by crush

than we aro under Juirez,” and a revolution
may relievo ns, at least temporarily.
In the language cf our informant, tho grand
resulting truth of the whole past and present
situation is, that the great majority of think

never have peaeo. prosperity and contentment
until the United States, iu some way, secure
it to them.

Tlie Kansas Burning .Well.
From the Fort Scott Monitor, January 28.]
Citizens and strangers visited the burn
ing well in flocks on Sunday. From be
fore noon until sundown a constant
stream of people on foot, in carriages, and
on horseback, were going to or coming
from that remarkable curiosity. It seethed
and bubbled, and burned for them as long
as their curiosity and inquisitiveness
promoted them to watch it; and* we pre
sume it is burning yet, as it has been for
two months past. It seems almost a pity
that so much gas of nature’s own supe
rior manufacture should thus “waste its
sweetness on the desert air.” [That quo
tation may not be just the thing, but it is
the only poetry we have at hand.] It is
not wasted, however. It proves that there
is a laboratoty where for ages nature has
been busy with gigantic chemical experi
ments, and that materials, rich aud inex
haustible, are there stored, awaiting but
the utilitarian expedients of man’s inge
nuity and necessities to shape them into
appliances of civilization and wealth.

GEN. ALVORD TO GEN. HOWARD JANUARY 18tH,
1870.
Of the political status in this city (Atlanta)
you are ot coarse, informed by the daily press.
Gen. Terry is very firm, and the commission
on membership is earnestly at work. Ono old
friend of ours [I need not give his name]
seems to bo foolishly selling himself and his
party, if he can, to tho opposition. Not a
colored member goes with him in cither
House. Even though he were honest in say
ing that ho “can now hold the bah* nee of pow
er and afterwards turn it into hands of
the Republicans,” he greatly -timates
his strength. His best friends in all the State
will drop him, -
Passing through the halls of the Hons^, I
overheard a group of Democratic leaders
cursing him in the most blasphemons terms,
and then, in an undertone, saying: 4 ’But
we’ve got to use him; can we then throw him
oat?” Ac. Don’t credit his telegrams and
letter-writers. I have had a number of inter
views with bim, and he told me distinctly,
“he’d rather the whole Republican party in
Georgia should be a failure than that Bullock
should triumph.” His more intimate advisers,
too, I have seen, and know their character,
and c&n assure you that no true Republican
fiere stands by him.
Yours, Ac., very respectfully,

WASHINGTON.
[first dispatch.]
Washinglon, Feb. 22.—In the Senate, Mr.
Conkttcg is speaking against the right of New
York to withdraw her ratification of the 15th
Amendment.
The House is considering a resolution cen
suring Mr. Muugen for words used in {regard
to Souator Sumner.
The Election Committee has postponed the
vote on Segar.
The Military Committee is examining wit
nesses on the cadet corruptions.
(SECOND DISPATCH.)
Washington, Feb. 22.—The Committee on
Foreign Affairs discussed Cuba, but without
any result
Commodore Furragut is here sick.
Dispatches to politicians from Texas an
nounce the nomination in caucus—which is
equivalentjto election—of Morgan C. Hamil
ton, for the short and long term, and Gov-
'emor Flannngan for the five years term.
The indications in Executive session yester
day, were, that Judge Pearce will not bo con
firmed.
The newly elected Senators from Georgia,
visited the President, who again disavowed
any interference between them and Messrs.
Hill and Miller.
In the Senate, tha credentials of Messrs.
Farrow and Whiteley of Georgia, were pre
sented. Senator Drake said the credentials of
both were iu utter disregard of law. The ere
dential ’ were finally withdrawn.
Without transacting farther business the
Senate adjourned in honor of tho day.
In the House tho resolution censuriug Mr.
Mungcu was referred to tho C ommittee on
Rules.
Mr. Voorhees made a personal explanation,
denying that he ever belonged to a secret po
litical society or aided in resisting the draft
during the war.
An effort to adjourn iu honor of the day
was defeated.
Appropriations were resumed and discussed
until adjournment.
The Consul at Santago do Cuba under
date of January 3d, writes to the Secretary of
State that political affairs in that Cocsular Dis
trict are in a most deplorable condition. The
assassination at Bayamo, of citizens sent
from that city by order of Coant Yalmasedo
was nothing more than what is daily perpe
trated.
It is well known that Yalmasedo aspires to
the position of Captain General of the Island,
and, in order to increase his popularity among
the blood-craving Catalans, who are operat
ing in his behalf, both in this Island and in
Spain, he gives imperative orders to make this
a war of extermination, and we daily hear of
peaceful citizens, residing in the country, be
ing assassinated by the mobilized Spanish
troops. These orders are probably carried to
an extreme, from the fact, that those com
manding snch troops are constantly supplying
some Cuban produce dealers of this city, and
whtMe object is to sack tho country and for
ward to their agents such portions of the crops
a i may fall into their hands.
The planters are persecuted to such a degree
to bo compelled to flee from their estates,
and their crops are immediately sequestered
and appropriated to private purposes.
Very little credit can be placed in the Span
ish press, it being a Government organ which
flatly maintains that the insurrection is finish
ed in this department, which is far from the
truth. The insurrection continues iu full force
and frequent encounters take place, as is S9en
by the frequent arrival of wounded Spanish
soldiers.
The Cabans, being better armed aud tdis-
ciplined than formerly, in many instances
take the offensive, nnd are, having their
numbers increased by desertion from the
Spanish troops, who find it impossible to en-
daro the climate.
It is estimated that fifty per cent, of the
Spanish volunteers, from sickness, aro put
hors da combat. The hospitals are lull to over
flowing.
It is impossible for any forco that Spain enn
send to exterminate tho rebel force, owing to
tho climate nnd topography ol tho country,
while both contending parties destroy every
vestige of agriculture.
LOUISIANA.
New Orleans, Feb. 22—Mr. Blackburn pub

It is composed of the active principles of roots ar d

all their medical qualities. Ministers and public
speakers who are so often afflicted with throat disease,
will find a sure remedy in this Balsam. Lozenges and

A Torpid System.—Sometimes, without
any assignable cause, the physical strength and ani
mal spirits give way, and a strange torpor falls alike
on the body and intellect. There is little or no pain,
perhaps, but the natural vigor and elasticity of tho
nervous and muscular system seems to have departed,
and an indifference to the pleasures of life, and even
of its grave responsibilities, takes the place of that
test Interest in both which characterizes every well
balanced mind when in a healthy condition.
This state of partial collapse is often the premonitory
symptoms of some serious malady. It indicates un
mistakably that the vital powers are languishing and
need a stimulant. In such cases the effect of a few
dotes of Hoatatter’s Stomach Bitters is wonderfully
beneficial. The great tonic wakes up the system from
its drowse. The secretions aud the circulation receive
a new impetus. The relaxed nerves recover their elas
ticity under the operations of the specific, like the
slackened strength of a musical instrument in the pro
of tuning. Lethargy and debility are replaced by
energy and vigor, the spirits rise, and life that almost
seemed a burden while the season of depression lasted,
becomes once more enjoyable. That such a radical
change should be produced by a remedy entirely de
void of the powerful alkaloids and minerals so exten
sively used in modern practice, may seem incredita-
ble to those who pin their faith on the medicinal effi
cacy of active poisons, but i: these skeptics will take
the trouble to inquire of those who have tested the
oorrective and alteratlvo virtues of the Bilters under
the circumstances described, they will find the state
ment to be true. feb 22-d&wlw
