It is, however, belated sonic times, and has the appearance of having been well read when it arrives. The Jack son package should be bound in a wrapper. Owing to somo recent ordinances passed by the City council of Atlanta, with reference to the streets and rail road crossings, Maj, McCracken has issued orders to suspend work on the Extension, between South river nnd that city, until further orders. If the authorities of Atlanta don't want the road in the city, important changes will liavo to he made to avoid that town. We lire surprised ut Atlanta placing hliimilling blocks in the way of this groat enterprise, that would tend to cripple and retard the progress of the road. The people of Atlanta cannot af ford iluml should not tolerate any tam pering with the interest of this com pany with reference to the city. The Cincinnati A Georgia Railroad Com pany is no small potatoe, and don’t propose to he made an example of at this late hour. The first thing for At lanta to do, in this pnriiculn, is to take steps looking to the removal of the AVhitehall-eossing nuisance—an eye sore to her citizens and a terror to her viators. It is hardly plausahle that tho authorities arc in sympathy with tho Louisville & Nashville, in check mating the Cincinnati & Georgia Rail road, hut to sny the least, they seem to be<trying to do something to retard its progress. (JuMcau Fun ml Gnllly. Tile jury had been out about twen ty minutes when a recess was taken until 5:30, and in ten minutes alter ward the jury called to the bailill that thev were ready w ith a verdict. 'They waited the return of Judge Cox in their room. All eves wore bent on tlie face of the foreman as tie entered the courtroom *: the head ot i lie jury. No one re ally doubted the nature ol the verdict as soon as it was announced that one hud hoen reached, but speculations had been so various, as to the way in which the jury was to har.g that it was hard to realise that a verdict ol guilty lirJ been reached with so little delay. “Gentlemen ol tbe jury, havo you agrei and upon your verdict ?’ queried the clerk. “Wo have,’’ answered the foreman. “What say you, is tho defendant gudiy ir not guilty, us charged in the indictment ?” “Guilty of Murder.” Before the verdict was recorded, Mr Sooville demanded a poll ot tho jury, which was granted and each responded, ‘•Guilty,” as his name was called As the last man answered, Guiteau shriek ed out, “.My blood will h“ upon the liradol that jury don l you lorget it." Judge Cox thtn turned to the jury and satit; “Gentlemen ot the jury, 1 cannot xpress too many thanks tor the maimer in union j t>v dis* ehargtd jour duty. You have richly merited the thanks of your country men, and with thanks, gentlemen o! the jury, 1 dismiss jou.” From the goodeffect of light papers that force men to pay Iheir dubts, we are compelled to believe that ail we need to restore confidence in trade and bring back the cash system, is laws that will compcll every man and woman to pay their juft debts if it takes everything they own in the world. The law ought to be so plain as to require no jury 15 minutes to decide a case. It is a frequent oc currence that our pad laws cause our tax pa\ers to pay 5 1 ines the value ot the amount it) suit to obtain a verdict in some civil sasis. it pays better tor a trickster to sit around our courts and b arn how to evade paying his debts than to stay at homo and keep bis busiuesa going—f \Varrenton Clip per, Monroe lie*’, while, and Phi!

The Bourbon? pot up Judge George 11. Lester, another ring man, who had lost an arm in the war. The armless sleeve was waved from every stump in the district, all the passions Of the late war were rekindled, and the old sol diers were begged to rally aronnd their comrade in arms and bury beneath their snowy ballots the “old Republi can and renegade," as Dr. Felton was called. But all in vain. The form of the venerable soldier and Bourbonistic jurist struck the ceiling, and Felton again triumphed with a large majority. At this time, in the Ninth District, which adjoins theSevcnth in the north east, a young man named Emory Speer was fighting for Indcpendentisiu. For fifteen years a few petty tyrants had ruled the Ninth, and Speer, young, bold, brillienl, eloquent ambitious, de termined to dethrone them. lie threw his banner to the breeze nnd the Bour bon press at once opened upon him. No Republican in Georgia lias ever been more persistently fought and bit terly denounced than was this gallant young Independent Democrat, who dared to lead his people in the onslnugh upon proscription. With every paper j in Georgia outside his District, fight- I ing him—with eleven papers in his district against him, and but two for him—with twenty-one stump speakers thundering against him behind his hack, and all afraid to meet him face to face—he pushed right on, and when the ides of November rallied around, Billups, the ringster nominee,came tip missing, and Speer was wearing “the crown the Bourns lost.” I had the honor to bein (lie field du ring that memoralilosiruggle, and have never seen a fiercer light. No young mail has ever braved more slander and hate than he braved. At Nicholson he was cursed and threatened by a drunk en and boisterous crowd, who swore he 'sliouhl not speak, shaming them into silence by th splendor of his scorn, and driving the lenders from the ground by the fire of his infective. Ho was actually stoned while passing through the county of Rnburn in his buggy and would have been killed had not the fleetness of his bores outdis tanced the fury of the Bourbon mob. From a poll of 22,000 votes Speer plucked a ma jority of only 222 ; but in JBBO, two years later, he carried the district by storm, beating lliram I*. Bell, the Bourbon nominee by 4,1X10 votes. It was during the eampain of 1878 that the Alexander 11. Stephens de nounced the Convention managers of his district, the Eighth, ns a “eliiiuc or tricksters and thimble riggers,” and declared his intention of "toting his own skillet” before the people, lie had already entered upon his Inde pendent enndidacy when the Conven tion met, and knowing that it would he worse than useless to nominate a man to make the rare against him, it nominated Stephens himself. This is interesting ns showing tho first and on ly tribute which ltoiirbonism overpaid to Independentisin in Georgia, and making Stephens as the onlj’ man who ever rail as both nominee and Inde pendent. The same tight which Indepcnentism has made in the Seventh and Ninth District is now being made on a grand er scale in the State of Georgia. The same element, that sent Speer and Felton to Congress will revolutionize Gaol-gin. It Ims been said that we have no issue upon which to make the liirlit in Georgia. Ills a great mistake. Wo have the same issue which gave Felton and Speer victory, to-wit: “Tho peo ple against Ring Rule.” The last Bourbon convention held in Georgia broke up in a row, because tho ultra Bourbon element in it swore that they would nominate Alfred 11. Colquitt for Governor or nobody. That was a death blow to state conventions in Georgia, and the nominee of the next one will tile an affidavit after the court next fall to convince the people that he was a candidate. There can he no doubt of it—the doom of Bourhonisin is sealed in Geor gia. The platform of Felton calls for a free ballot and a fair count, and the young men of this state—the liberal young men who have grown up since war, and are fully in sympathy with the new order of things—will see that tho people get it. I had a long talk at the Kimball yesterday with a very prom inent politician of this Stale, who was once a Bourbon. Helms just return ed from a week’s visit to Washington. He said : “I shall go with the new movement, because I think it means an honest State of government and prosperity for tho people of Georgia. Joe Brown, that iron ribbed Bourbon, must l>e put down, or before many years lie will own the State. He is Senator from Georgia, president of the State road, principal lessee of the State convicts, contoller of the Atlanta Con stitution, and a few weeks ago cnp'ured the railroad commission by making Colquitt appoint Newt. Trammell one the commissioners, in place of Samuel Barnett, a pure and able man, remov ed. 1 can’t stand it. Why, sir, J< e Brown is as much the boss of Georgia as Cameron is in Pennsylvania. His imver must tie broken, and it is the du ly of all honest men, of nil p,irin, to rally to the good cause. The people of Ibis state can't afford to wear the Brown collar any longer. "Is it true, that Joe Brown asked President Arthur to let him lead the Lieeral movement in this State?” “No, sir, President Author is a gen tleman, and one reason why the peo ple of Georgia should like him is be cause of his hatred of Joe Brown and his methods. President Arthur under stands Joe Brown thoroughly, and ev erybody at Washington knows that he haVnt the slightest influence with the present Administration, I predict that when Joe Brown’s terms expires, if he lives, the people of Georgia will put a Libera! in his place iu the tseuate. Ben Hill is gone and Joe Brown will follow. Mick a pin inhere. Good ev ening.” Smith Clayton. NOTICE.

I.ngan, of the Griffin News interviews Mr. Brown as fol lows : “Now, tell me, Mr. Brown,’ I said, when a lew preliminaries had been discussed, “just what we are to ex peel in repaid to the bui ding ol this road; the people have waited and Wailed for you to make a move.’ ‘•Well,’said Mr. Brown, “I’m not the one to move, i have simply been waiting on the people. They know I have bought the road on a private investment, but not a man n'oug the route Ims ever approached me on the mailer.’ ‘ But we ceitainly expect you to make some advance tow aids us.’ “Not. at all. It is'nt my place to advance—it is yours. I have simply bought the road to make money out of, and that is exactly what I pro pose to do. It lie people want the road iln-y must show me some positive ev idenc-- of it.’ “What sort of evidence do you want * “Simply a guarantee that they will back the enterprise with their tnon ey ’ “And will you guarantee the road?' “Most assuredly- When a man catnes up and says, “1 pledge myself to give a thousand dollars, lie does so with the direct understanding lhai not a dollar of that sum is to be paid until he sees the engines on the irack. If that is’nt fuir then I don't know what is. It is all I ask, and it is no more than I expect.’ “But suppose I subscribe a thous* and dollars to the road, do I get that lurch stock or bonds •(), no, Tho money the people sub scribe is simply subsidy mmtdy, or a voluntary contrihu’ion, for which nothing bill lhe final belicfi’s ot lhe road is returned. They aro to pay that much for the privilege of the road. I could’nt afford to take any partners into the concern, for the reason, as I have said, to make mon ey on. Ii cost rno §20,000, and I’d ••crtainly not organize a stock cm • puny of a mi lion dollars capita and only 820,000 for my share of a ! l the trouble.’ “How much do you want from the people along the line ? 1 One hundred thousand dollars With this amount guaramei-d 1 c.-m board tho train for New York, and float the bonds of the road on that basis within a week’s time. Yon see l must have something solid on which lo float the bonds. One hun dred thousand dollars from the peo pie along the GO miles of road w ill accomplish that purpose. Now will they donate it ? When ever they do I stand ready to build and equip the entire road ’ “How much will it cost to build and "quip the line V “One million dollars, jo round imm ders, from Griffin to Madifon. But ihat is neither In-re nor there T own ihe road ; I bought it to make money outot, and if the people w ant it, they most aid me in tho manner I have asked.

It'your people want the road, let them under stand that they can get it on the ea py terms I propose I want cither lands or money.’ “Would you sell your investment at a reasonable profit ?’ “That dtpends on tho size ot the profit. I can sell it out to Mr, Wad ley any day I desire.’ “But ill you do it!’ “No sir. Mr. Wadley could not buy it for any sum—lie could not buy it at all, and nothing oould make me sell it to him. I want your people to enjoy ihe benefits of the road, and now they know how to get at that part of the matter.

There has been eight failures at Hampton in the past few months, says .be Griffin Sun : J. M. Hawkins & Cos. were the first to fail, with liabilities amounts ing to about twelve thousand dollars. They afterwards settle their indebt edness at ixiy cents on the dollar. D. B Bivins, who has been la busi ness there several years, w as the s <• ond o:i the list, and he failed for the large sum ot fifteen thousand dollars. An assignment was made to Mr. George Sebaßer, ami is being elosjd out for the benefit of the creditors by the assignee, M. It. B. Evans, an enterpri sing young merchant who came from South Georgia ami opened business in the town about two years ago, was the third to succumb, his liabilities amounting to twelve thousand dol lars. This stock took a course similar the above, and is being sold out A. Glaser was the iomth to go, but it is thought bis assets will al most cover bis liabilities, Ire tailing for only five to six thousand dollar-. Then Mr. Dorsett followed, with liabilities tor twelve thousand, and his stock was sold under mortgage to Messrs. Campbell <fc Dorsett. Mr. L. L. Whittle was only about six months in business, and lie tailed or about five thousand dollars, lie made an assignment to Mr. A’ L. Adams, and it is though’, fie will he ab eto pay fifty cents on llie dollar. B. K. Tucker was the seventh to fail, makieg an assignment loE. J lteag.n. who will cos up the biiM hess in the interests of tim creditors. His |.abilities amount to eight thou sand dollars. Mr. \V. S. Brooks was closed on Friday, and lie is the last on the list, lie made an aisignmcnt to Mr. John Morris, an l his liabilities will reach Iroin lour t-> five thousand dollars. Our informant gave it as his opin i n thul inability to collect nnlstand ing debts, and the merchants wete nnlortuniie in the selection ot men to Sell to, was the cause of the trou bles Thus attown has la leit a vie tim to the murderous system of the crediting business, and we hope it will teach tanners and merchants a lesson that will piofit them in the future , The remaining business houses doing business in Hampton am not effected by tho failures, as they have HOLD S STOP THERE!

About three weeks ago Sheriff Peter Burke received a postal card descri bing White minutely. Yesterday mottling while Mr. Bnke was in bis store, ou the corner ol Dauphin and commerce streets, be noticed a sin-anger coining up from the steam boat Mary, which arrived the night before He watched him and was satisfied that he was the man that was wanted in Georgia. He saw him go into J. A. I’e. Ornellas’ store and walked in alter him, but not seeing him, asked which way the gentleman went who had just c-mein. Mr. De- Orrellas said he was hack by the fire, and Mr. Burke walked in and said, “Good morning, Mr. White.’’ The stranger looked up and said, “flow- do you now my name is White?” Mr. Burke then said be was the sheriff of Mobile county, and he bad such information as made him sure that his name was White. lie also told him to give up his weapons and go with him to llie sheriff's office, where, if he could show fie was not Janies F. A lute, he would be released. Then Wniteptil led out his revolver and Jiik-knite and banded them to Mr. Burke, who started with him for the court lonise. On tho way While said, “Well, if you had not stopped me, my home was Cuba.” In the sheriff’s office he voluntarily stated that I e shot Bose through the head, and an affidavit was immed lately made out and a warrant issued for his arrest.
