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. Judge Warren, of Albany, died at Ids home on Sunday morning, A factory for tho production of glass shingles is to be built at Pitts burg, l*a.

The llinesville Gazette has the fob lowing : “On Wednesday the resi dence ot Mr. tAaekson Whitten, in the upper portion of this county, was struck by ligh'ning.

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 (.. j , 4 j iif UU'I *l3 Uly 011(3 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.
