Agreeable to an appointment Gon.
L. J. Gurtrell, of Fulton county, Inilo
pendendent Democratic Candidate for
Governor, delivered an address in Jack-
Son on Saturday last.
lie accepted the. hospitalities of Col.
Van McKibben, and was bis guest
while here.
lie was visited by friends and made
new acquaintances, among whom be
ma lea favorable impression.
He spoke in the court room to a
large and inthusiastic audience. He
alluded in a general wav, to those who
addressed our people during court
week, and spoke of them personally,
in the highest terms, except ns to the
personal allusions of tin? Solicitor Gen
eral, and the dirty remarks of Dud
Hammond, which it is useless to re
peat here—to reply to ho said
was beneath his notice.
His speech was complimented by a
number of our best citizens who thought
he sustained his position and attitude
to (lie people of Georgia in a sound,
practical, dignified and polished argu
ment.
Sltrr his address he was met by a
number of his old soldiers and friends,
who greeted him with a cordial wel
come, nod signified llicir willingness
and pleasure to support him for the
high and hanornrik) position of Gov
ernor. There was never a doubt ns to
bis having many good friends in Units,
and bis visit bore last w< ck made for
him many more, and bound the ties of
liis older friends closer to him. It is
conceded by those who are in a posi
tion known, and friends, that Mutts
will give him a handsome majority.
Gen."Gartrell says the government
of Georgia ought to he run with about
one-fourth the amount used for that
purpose now. Tax payer bow would
you like to have your taxes reduced
one-half Or even one-fourth ?
There is too much porsonal poli
ticß—too much talk about lenders and
too litllo about measures. What the
democratic party needs most is the
burial of a few men and the resurreo
of a few principles.
From the Home courrler
Notvs reached Iho city Inst week of
a bloody fight and a horrible death
which occurred last Thursday even
ing on Duck creek, four miles weal
of L lfayetto, in Walker county. The
parties were Wilaon’JPard and Ben
Lively, paitnera in husim-sj. From
wbat wo could leant, H appears that
these men were running n evapora
tor together and wero to share the
profi s aud losses equally. The day
of the difficulty some seti lenient was
being made, when Beard accused
Lively ot paying all the debt with
his [ Beard’s part, in fact Beard aecus
ed Ins partner of stealing from him,
when souie words ensued, followed
by a fight, during which Beard drew
his knife stabbing Lively in tho left
breast, inflict ing a mortal wound.
Beard then escaped, but was pur
sued and arrested Friday evening and
lodge.! in jail. In the meanwhile
Lively grew weaker and on Saturday
died from the effects of the wound.
Th j murderer is about tiliy years ot
age, while the murdered man was
about thirty-five. This unfortunate
occurrence created a big excitement
and is"much regretted by the entire
community.

The iVlllledjccviUe Murder.
From the Mllledgcvillc ltonordcr.
An inilbiinnate difficulty occurred
in this city on Saturday afternoon
about 3 o’clock, in which Mr. Jesse
Davis, of this place, was mortally
wounded by pistol shots fired by Mr.
Sol Birrelt, also of tins city. D ivis
died at 8 o’clock Sunday morning.
Tim telegram from this city publish
od in the Telegraph and Messenger
Sunday morning, to the elf, cl that
the difficulty was owing to an “old
grudge,” in a mistake. The deceased
Jesse Davi*, was a young man over
six feel in height and powerful built.
110 w:iß regarded as a dangerous man,
especially when drinking, lie killed
Kelsey Tuttle injthis citv a few years
ago. Mr. Barrett is a small man,
and will hardly weigh 120 pounds.
Mr. 8., is a quiet peaceable gentle

could the necessity that occasioned
too unfortunate tragerdy. In his tes
timony ns to ilie eauso of the murder
Mr. Bui tell says : I stopped to
sneak to Whilden about receipts,
when 1 saw four men o miing out ol
the side gate at the alley hack of
Clark’s store. Jesse Davis in the
lead and Alex. Robinson, Nip Grieve
aud ./obii Arnold, coming towards
the stable. When they came I was
standing on the sidewalk a lew feet,
from the door. Alex Robinson got
between me and the siablo door anil
Davis passed on ike walk to the op
posite door, standing behind a chair,
which chair tv,is on the sidewalk
fronting the stable door. Robinson
then said, “Whatdo I owe you Sol ?'
1 said a quarter, because 1 knew his
money was exhausted, his bill though
was a half dollar. I would have
charged the half debar under other
circumstances, because I feared he
would be offended if he found he
could not pay mo, and would be
equally offended if I had not charged
him, knowing bo was very sensitive.
He handed me 25 cents, and lie said
I understand that you got offended
about my being hero this morning—
do not remember the exact words.
I said you arc misinformed, where
upon Davis then spoke up and said
speaking to Robinson, lie [Birrelt]
said wh.it I (Davis) said. I did not
notice Davis and turned to Alex and
said, Ah x I did not make that re
mark, but 1 do say, I don’t want any
drunk ')) men around me. My a 1 ten -
lion was taken from Robinson to Da
vis bv some remark made by Davis’
with an oath, don’t remetn’oet what,
when I turned to Dtvis I sail what
have you got to do wi h it. ID grit
ted bis teeth and says, G and dam you
1 have got a heap to do with it. i
said, “Mr, Davis 1 want you to keep
away from my atatr'o ; this is my
priv’ate property, and 1 don't want
you to come around here,” He was
cursing me all this time, and while I
was talking he began raising the
chair behind which he was standing,
and l was inking my pstol out of my
pocket, thinking 1 had both to tight
and seeing Unh in son having his liurni
in hi* hip pocket—mv intention was
to keep Davis Ir >m striking me with
the chair—l began shooting at Davis
intending to hit him and then defend
myself against ltobinson, for lex pec
ted to be killed it I did not first disa
ble Davis. As I shot the fir-t time
Davis advanced on me and I kept
hacking until I got into the street,
Davis gaining on me until the list
shot, when lie 1 timed aud ran into
the a able I think lie would have
gotten to me but for my having u
a self cocking pistol.
Iloir Mr.Conduc
ted the Atlanta Sun
Newspaper.
Mr. Stephens ins be n an editor,
lie embarked in a big tiewspepcr en
terpriv*. He owned the Sun. He
busted it, or it busted him.
Since that lime lie has had a good
deal to say about *‘ven%l sheets’’—
“bought up corrupt editors,” etc. We
expect to show how that he received
from Governor Brown several hun
dred dollars to advocate the State
roa 1 lease. The lessees paid out over
822,000 to control the iTewspapers
ani lobbyists, but Alexander Ste
phens has always made a very inno
cent virluousdec aration ol his admir
able puiity. Governor Brown swore
to this testimony ir. 1876.
“We then asked Mr. Echols about
publishing our articles in the Sun.
He said he must see Mr. Stephens
about it. Mr Stephens said, accord
ing to the best of my recollection he
thought there was nothing improper
in allowing either party to state mat
ters about the lease, provided they
paid for it, I paid them a sum ot
money —my recollection is several
hundred dollars.”
Now let Stephens and Brown set
tle it among themselvc-’. They were
not so horrnonioin in public about
that time but wo have a sly notion
that they never disagreed much
about the St ite road lease, and when
the slate of Georgia elects him gov
ernor—il hu ’[i a calamity should
overtake the state —he will bo easy
to persuade on the lease papers—and
you know lie can forget it all—and
say if ho ever saw it l [Ii ko the Speer
telegram] ho "has forgotlou all about
it,”—Free Press. -
Wednesday evening last, Archy
Hester, who lives about ten miles
from Dublin, shot and killed Air Ju o
Prior, eleven buckshot penetrating
the body of Prior fir in Hes'ei ’s gun.
Hester was a tenant of Prior, who
was endeavoring to enforce a disticss
warrant for his r -nt, when a quarrel
ensued. Hester siid the rent was not
due. Prior replied, “you are a liar,
or a damned liar, you dout intend to
)>ay it.” H'istcr raised a rake, and
Prior liis pistol and tired at II ster
who ran into his house, aud appeared
in ihe door with his stun, and a- Pri
or was coming in the yard with Hes
ter’s lather, Arch Hester fired the I.x
tal shot.
Dublin Gazette: Guo day last
week two ..-o'"' oiillilri-u living n. ...~
western portion of this county were
poisoned by eating some kind ot ber
ries in t.lu* woods - Iho children were
both small, and when found, were too
near death to tell what they had eat
en ; but it is supposed, they ate gal
berries. One of them died before it
could be gotten to the house, while
the oilier died in a very short time
after reaching homo. Emetics were
used to the last one, but to no avail.
Emory Speer has produced the ev
idence that Gov. Colquitt recommen
ded Pledger, colored, for the Athens
post office ; '‘but you bet" >hat Col
quilt nor any of his organs and che
quers will attempt to relate it. As
tho Athens little “hot* shot” daily
kept a devil ot a howl because Emo
ry endorsed Matt Davis, colored,
for the same, it is in order for Gantt
to howl down Colquitt. They are
mad because Emory out generaled
Colquitt on the negro question, ‘‘Roll
on, sweet moments, roll on !’’
The A’bnny Nows was not satis,
tied with Stephen's speech th re It
says: “Those of our people who had
read the published reports of the
speeches recently delivered by Mr.
Stephens at Atlanta, Macon and Col
umbus, and who had heard that the
Georgia commoner was physically
stronger and in much better health
t ian ho had been in several years past,
were somewhat disappointed in lus
* Hurt in Albany yesterday.”
The Darien Gazette is digging
Gov. Colquitt Twist the ribs after a
lively fashion.. That paper says the
people of that sec ion are sick of Col**
quilt and his methods.
