We learn from Captain Loyd of h
serious difficulty that happened in
Covington, on tho li'tli instant, which
resulted in the killing of John McCur
dy of Newton Factory, by Randolph
Pearson, of Jasper county.
Noah Parker and Andrew Warran of
Newton Factory, had n difficulty some
time ago in which Parker was whipped,
whereupon he threatened Warrnn’s
life. On the 15th instant Parker load
ed Ilia gun and went to the held where
Warran was at work, and was wailing
for him to hoe out to the end of the
roe; but Warran was on tho lookout
for Parker and worked altogether in
tlie center of the field. Parker finally
hollowed to him to look out, and as
he did so shot him in the breast slight
ly wounding him. Warran made for
his gain which he had carried to (lie
field with him, and Parker made for
the woods. Parker was arrested and
carried to Covington on Friday lart
when h had his commitment trial and
was released on a bond of S4OO to ap
pear at tho Superior court. Instead
of returning home, Parker andJVlcCur
dy got on a big drunk and rocked t lie
wagon yard, in which some Jasper
county wagoners were camping. Af
tercastingseveral brick hats into Pear
son's wagon, and while McCurdy was
in the attitude of picking up more
stones he was shot in tho hip by Pear
son, from which lie died on Sunday
night last. Mr. Pearson after having
a trial was released. Parker is in jail.
McCurdy, who was about 18 yeais of
ago was of a had character.

lie find the following communica
tion in the Conyers Examiner ;
Mr. Editor—A sufficient time has
elapsed since the Block law came into
operation to form sonic correct judge
ment of what the effects will be. Is it
doing all its rampant advocates prom
ised ? There are great benefits result
ing from it, Imt who are the recipients
of those benefits? Is it the poor, who
have no land to spare upon which
they can impound their stock, and
who are dependant, in a great meas
ure, upon the milk and bacon that they
raise? No sir ;it is grinding on these,
and this class constitute the great mass
of the people. It is only the few who
have plenty of land and meadows that
reap the benefits of this law, and who
have plenty of corn and fodder to feed
with ; and this is the elass who have
thrust this law upon the people and
raised the price of living upon them,
compelling them to buy what they are
powerless to raise for want of a free
range.—But notwithstanding, this state
of things could be greatly mitigated if
these arristooratic land owners could
have compassion enough for their poor,
plebian neighbors as to rent them pas
turage at a reasonable rate. But this
they (or some of them) refuse to do at
any price. But, gentlemen, the logic
of facts and events will not be long in
convincing you that equal laws and
equal rights canuot he crushed out in
our free country. The cries of those
who are ground beneath the feet ofop
preesion will be heard and heeded at
the ballot bo*. So you may stick a
pin here, or cut it out and wear it in
your hat.

TUB ADDRESS
To the people of Georgia : We, tho
undersigned, issued a call to the Inde
pendent voters id the Slate to assent
hie in Mass Meeting in the city of
Atlanta on the first day ol ,/im<-. 1882
to consider the best policy for (he
people to pursue to purge the State
of “personalism and corruption’’ in its
politics, and in order to “attain an
agency through which our people
could have a rightful participation in
the affairs of the federal government.’’
We now recommend to the Indepen
dents of the State a postponement of
this contemplated ina-s meeting, for
tho two following considerations :
First—Tho rumored prevalence of
sma'l pox in the city of Atlanta and
tho alarm which it has occasioned
throughout the country will nece-sa
lily deter the people from gatheiieg
in a large assemblage at ibis time
in that city Hence we recommend
a postponement of the mass meeting
on the first id June, because Atlanta
is the most accessible city to all the
voters of the State, and tho ' 1 'C*inn
ol another locality at this time would
ho inexpendient and impracticable.
Secondly —We are happy to an
nounce to the Independents of Geor
gia that one. of tho desire results ol
that proposed Mass Meeting lias been
attained much carrier than was con
templated when the call was unde.
We desired harmony an i concert, of
artiop> among the Independents of the
Stale, especially in regard to the
Governorship ol Georgia. We be.
lieve that representative men of the
Indopenib nt party, coining fr m all
sections of the Stale, wouhl ho aide
to express the preferences of then
several localities so clearly that they
could anile with perfect unmimity
upon some distinguished Go irgian us
a suitable candidate for this high and
responsible position without the in
torvtntion of machine politics or the
tricks of pack )d conventions. The
Independents have no organization to
defend, or personal schema to pro
mote in this matter, and only desire
to present as a candidate tor this high
office one whose record for ability,
patriotism, life-long devotion to the
best interest of Georgia and ol the
whole union, and one especially
whoso incorruptible, political and
personal honestly should ootr.incnd
his candidacy to all the people >d tin-
Slate independent of factious, rings
cliques or former party alliances.
The Independent would have pre
sented no name for this office, whose
well known character for truth ami
justice was not a sufficient guaranty
against pat ty proscription and section*
ul strife. We only seek to give good
government to the people—to all tho
people ot every class, calling and sta
lion ui life, and we w ill gladly sup
port tor the high office of Governor,
any man whose oharaetei and quail
ficalions. as above indicated establish,
his peculiar fitness for the place.
Furthermore, we do not require the
proposed candidate to pronounce, or
accept any party shibboleth. We do
not threaten him with a refusal of
our support it I e should accept tin
indorsement and aid of other par its.
We simply enunciate the expressed
will ol the people, an 1 in this man*
nu' we believe we reflect the senti
ment ot the Indep inli tits el Georgia.
In our opinion tiie lion, Al. x 11
Stephens is ptactioally in the field as
a Candida' e for Governor by the s*>o •
tsueous voice of the people ot Georgia,
be having expressed a willingness to
serve the people of the State iu that
eopaeity, it they gave him unmistaka
ble demonstration that it is their de
sire for him to do so. Also, in our
opinion, the Independents all over
the Slate have received this announce
ment with uomixed gratification and
respect, and an wall satisfied that
the business of the Stale c.mld not be
entrust, and to more efficient and patri
otic hands. We believe that all
true lovers of the State will cordially
unite in honoring this noble and il
lustrious son of old Geoigia, We, as
Independents, return to him our
gru'eful thinks for his patriotic pro
posal, and enthusiastically accept
m and present him as the Candida e of
tin* people for the high office. There
fore, a- the Mass Meeting, which
was to assemble in Atlanta, on tie
first of next ./line, will not be hold in
accordance wi h tiie publish announce
ment, ie peel fully recommeud to the
Independents of the Slate a unani
mous support of this incorruptible
statesman, lion, Alex 11. Stephens

remorkable monstrosity in a week

an elephant’s -kin, and could not be
told from t!>e hide o; this animal un
le-s seen on lie child. It lias a thick
rough scaly exterior, covered with
just enough long hair to issily discern
it. The child has a long, pendant ear
on that side cf tho hea I covered by
this -kin VVe view it a* lao simile
of Ihe ear of a baby elephant. This
-kin protrudes a quarter of an inch
above the natma skin ot the child.
Its cries are low and plaintive like an
animal, not a I uman being The
mother statis that she attend'd a
circus lust fall, was frightened by the
elephants and regards this as the
couse of tlie child’s strange deformis
ty. This child, or animal as it may
turnout to be, is largo and healthy
and seems likely to live. What a cu
riosity it wouhl be if it should live*
One ot our citizhns has , tiered the
mother n thousand dollars for it. It
is daily visited by hundreds.

Judge Tnrbell tells tlie following
good joke on himself. A short time
after his retirement from the bench,
he happened to meet an old friend
w bon* lie had not seen for some time.
The Judge, all smiles mid heartiness,
effervesced over his “dear friend’’ in
such a way ns to provoke the inquiry:
“What office are you a candidate
f( r now, judge ?”
The judge made a deprecatory
movement wilh an outward-turned
palm, mid said : *‘F >r n me at all, my
dear brother ; I'm simply a candidate
for the kingdom of heaven.
Ili* friend regarded him sorrowful
for an instan l , and then with more
wit tlnn politi n *ss, and more | r d'uni
ty than either said : “I’ll bet you don’t
carry a d—d township .”
Doubtless tiie judge lost sight of
the man's profanity in admiration of
his snblimolv truthful candor.
