Tlllv 11ULI.ET. Two Slf n Kbot-Ouc Dim. 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.

Tli* Nlttch I.mv 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.

Alex II Sic phene was fully indorsed and recom mended as t lie candidate of “The People” for Governor As to Mr Stephen’s poni'ion, and whether lie will accept, tlie following associate press dispatch explains it self : Washington D. C. May 15. 1882 To Hon. W, 11. Felton, Allan a : I hope the committee of Indeperul ent Democrats who meet to-day will recommend Mr. Stephens as the peo ple’s candidate for Governor. I know positively he will not reject such fee oinrr.endntion, and that if elected he will be the Governor ol all the people without regard to party. He will lie controlled l>y no ring Emory S’pkkii. 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.

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.

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.
