Of course, in the dispensation of wh at he deemed to be justice he did not please, every body and his decisions have been ap pealed to the city eounail.

The Oazktth man wo* informed yesterday, while in Nashville, that the statement made in last week’s pa per relative to the third purty of Ber rien county selecting a full ticket for county officers, etc., was an error. The Beavordant meeting was a quar terly meeting of the county ailiunoo uud we are informed there was no politics mentioned in it. Wo make the correction witli pleasure, and trust, that the alliance ntav yet wend its way safely out ot th6 maelstrom of partisan politics and or.ee more anchor itself upon the foundation Btone of its original prin ciples. But., in this correction, we desire to sound a note of warning to the straightout democracy of Berrien county. It now scorns to be the idea of third partvites to advocate aBortib race for the county offices; if they can gel, the democrats spilt tip over their personal favorites, then they hope, by uniting upon their candi dates (and they will have a full tick et out) to elect every one of them. Democrats, in all seriousness, you will do well to nominate your candi dates for the various county offices this year. It is true the third party iB in the minority in tho county, but if democrats become divided between two or three candidates for rach of fice it can be readily seen bow the united minority can easily walk into place and power, and in full control of the county’s affairs. One of the leaders of the third party, Mr, W. S. Bussey,rays we also erred in saying that his party in Ber rien county was organized in secret; on the contrary, he says it. was done in tho open conrt-housc with four or five hundred ptoplo present The Gareths gives tho new political or ganization tho benefit of this correc tion also, and commend it* boldness to the careful study and emulation of our felimv-detnocrcts. The dis ci plea of the new political issue is in- slnnl in season and nut of season in the promulgation of their dogmas. Democrats should equip themselves to meet argument with argument, sophistry with sophistry, ami organ ization with organization. They owe this duty to tbcinselvia, their families, their party sad to tae beat HUGH K. SALTER. In the Toll* ClmrgtMl With tittering Mtl I'omiiii|! Counterfoil' Coin. The news that Marshal McCrea, of Tifton, had arrested Hugh K. Sal ter the night before and held him in onstody upon tho charge of uttering und passing counterfeit coin, created no little hit of a sensation in the city lust Sunday morning. The Gazette man hail heard re peated rumors floating about for sev eral months that Salter was not only engaged in utteriiitt$aud passing counterfeit coin but acting as ngentt of the manufacturers of “green goods,” but the improbabilities of the rumors gave no credence to them. But the arrest of Salter for coun terfeiting excited in our breast curi osity to know upon what sort of evi dence was the charge predicated and, approaching oik- of tho guard, we made inquiry us to it. We were in formed that the evidence was very damaging, to pay the least—a clumsy looking pair of mould .was found in his poscssion, besides persona who would testify that they saw him make the counterfeit coin and also puss it. Some of the witnesses say that lie hud another and hotter mould than tho one captured, which is a now and 1111 finished mould. Investigation as to liis being the agent of "green goods” men devel- o)a-d some very startling flints, facta which show that there arc a great many respectable (?) men who move in the best social circles of Berrien, Irwin, Worth ami UotTee comities who ure willing to violate the laws of Uncle Sum’s reulm in order to se cure a fortune without working for it. It appeared that Salter hud been- plying his ignoble vocation in all these counties and perhaps others. Officer McCrea, upon a telegram from United States Marshal Corbett, held his prisoner until Tuesday morning, when Deputy Avunt came dow from Macon and relieved him Salter was carried to Macon, togeth er with » number of witnesses.

From a Constitution special. Macon, July 12.—Hugh K. Salter was brought in from Tifton this af ternoon anil arraigned before Cotn- miesionet L. N. Erwin, of the United States court, on the charge of utter ing and manufacturing counterfeit com. A set of clumsy moulds were cap lured, also some sensational letters, but no money and the evidence upon this line appears to he decidedly dim. But witnesses who are up in tin- court against Salter toll a somewhat sensational story, which,while it may not come tip at tho present trial, re veals an interesting state of things in Berrien county. They say that Salter has for some time past been engaged in the old green goods dodge, and has succeeded admirably. In fact, they say down there that the gentleman ought to lie rich on the investments which have been placed in his hands by the con fiding citizens in that part of the country. I’roininent citizens of Ber rien have been in pnniB ranging from $100 to $200. Salter would take hia victim into his confidence and ex hibiting a outt-dollnr hill would say that in that, vicinity there were other men for whom he was middle man, who would dispose of any quantity of such good at the rate of 20 per cent. They generally bit nml placed their pile in Salter’s bands to bo re placed with 80 per cent more good money. But he never came back, cr if ha did, it was onlj' to say that de tectives were on his track and he had to givo up the stuff to keep them off. The publication of some of the victims would be interesting but unpleasant fot them. Commissioner Erwin asked him to give a bond in the smn of $1,000, awaiting * preliminary hearing. Go to Dr. J. C.

Crops of all kinds in Irwin county are reported in a most flourishing condition. Corn is better than it Ims bcyti for years, same may be said of potatoes arid peas.

Wir.LACooonsE, Ua., June 24.— For the sake of peace and harmony and for tho good of our people, I* wish to make, publicly, a suggestion, which.I feel will he worth much to the people of Coffee county if they will but accept it, I11 view of the fact that there is some little dissentiou among us po litically and likely to be more on uc- oount of different views upon differ-’ ent questions, and that we often get into trouble because of the fact that we do not properly consider these questions und do not nalinly and fair ly discuss matters as neighbors. It is of the utmost importanqe that we come together as neighbors and friends and properly consider and reconcile the differences between our selves in order that we may maintain that harmony and unity so essential to pence and safety to all people; therefore 1 suggest- that we all meet at Douglass on the first Monday in August next for tho solo purpose of putting down strife and dissention among ns. Let us meet coolly and oahnly, of whatever party or faith, und reason together. I make this suggestion not as an official, but as a private oitizen; not representing the politics or interest* of any particular party or sent, but solely us a common citizen of the county. i think that if we will do this, much good may result. I biu for unity, and make this suggestion for that purpose alone. I sincerely hope that we may moot in harmony, for we cannot afford to be divided. It will injure sis and benefit noono else. 1 have talked with several of the best thinking men of the county who approve of this move. John Vickbkb.
