Maths's Election in Atlanta.— At an
election held in Atlanta on Wodneeday
laet, our epecial pet. Out JBilty fiultey wot
elected Mayor of that city, receiving 985
votes, no opposition. The entire Alder
manic ticket nominated at tba tame time
lluitey was, were elected. A noticable
feature of the oa*#, was the fact that Hul
sey redeived from teu to twenty rotes more
than any of the Alderman, it is supposed
that this is owing to the strong support
given to Hulsey by the Star.
Mayor Williams and the present board
o( Alderman will hold on to the oity gov

rior force. “Lot us have peace.”
CONFLUENCE.
This body was organised on Wednesday,
by the election ol the following officers:
Bishop Robert i’uine, presiding; Ate
tiuus 0. Haygood, Score ary ; John W.
Heidt, Assistant Secretary; Robert W. Big

Not having sucurdd the servioes of a re
porter. and it being absolutely out of our
power to attend with any degreo of regu
larity, we are unprepared to report the
first and s-isoad days' proceedings of this
body of clergy men.
We were present, however, a short time
during the session of yesterday, when the
Kev. Mr. Qrahuin, and another minister
whose name we did not understand, both
of tho Congregational Church, were intro
duced to the Congregation, and invited to
seats. Both thess gentlemen delivered ad
drosses, sotting forth the genera] wish of
the body of Christians of which they have
tho honor to ropreaent, to unite with tho
Methodist Episcopal Church South.
The presiding officer responded in a brief
but eloquent address, and gave it as his
opinion, that tho timos oall loudly for
Church unity.

BRUTAL OUTRAGE 1
DARING ROBBERY l
BEN SERCY KILLED AND ROBBED 1
MRS. SARAH TYSON QARROTTEDI
On Wednesday last one of the most
fearful outrages was perpetratod in our
midst.
At about ten o'cloolt, P. M , four ruffians,
disguised as negroes, entered the dwelling
of Mr. Ben. R. Soroy, two milos from Gris
fiu, and shot him through tho body,
then soarohod tho promises for plunder ;
they obtained two gold watches, and a con
siderable sum of money, in specie. Tncy
then took Miss Tyson into the p«acb-or>
chard, and choked her to make her tell
whore other valuables eoulJ he found.—
From some alarm they turned Miss Tyson
louse und decamped.
Mr. Soroy, nt last account, was alive,
hut there is no- chance for his recovery.
Miss Tyson is his nisoe. Mr. S. is one
of uur oldest and most respectable citizens,
and Mias Tyson is a young lady above re
proach. The object of those villaina was
plunder. Tlioy realized several hundred
dollars —took this old tuau’s life—.grossly
nul-treuti'd Miss Tyson, and are yet at
largi. The evident object of these sooun.
drcls was to get tho money arising from
the sale of the Tyson property, on Tuesday
lust, hut Mr. Soroy had not received it, and
the assassins only got what he had on
hand. From vtUal has been learned, it is
evident that this band of four rubbers,
were aumposed of two or three negroes,
lead on by one or two white men disguised
us negroes, and we havo no doubt that there
is ono or tnoro well organized elans, with
headquarters at Urifiiu, directed by white
men whose business is to steal from tho oil-'
izens at wholesale and retail, and where
stealing cannot bo effootod, to rob, plunder
uml murder'. 11 >w long will our oitizons
submit to such outrages T If our muniois
pal, State, and county officials fail to ferret
out, ami bring to justice these hellione, we
are in favor of a California Vigilance
Committee.

W3U The Carpet-sacA-er* and Scalawags
have nominated the Perjurer, Foster Blod
gett for Mayor. This is eminently proper,
tor their crowd is one guilty of every thing
mean, and the meanest man they oan put
forward conies nearest representing them.
They selected him.
“Thk Freedman’s Bureau.” —Ths fol
lowing faithful sketch of the Bureau comes
from the Nashville American A Union . "It
assumed oharge of the negro jist at the
time when he should have commenced to
learn the responsibilities of his new rela
tion to society, and debauched him into a
nuisance. The mass of the freed peo
ple in the South were of no aooonnt to them
selves, and worse than useless to ths com
munity, as long as ths Bureau controlled
iinir conduct towards their employers.
MT Soon after Alexander, tho Maced*-,
oiao Gooquerer, bwd m ordered Parmeaio,
age of the first Generals of the Macedonian
Amy, and PMlotae, hi* eon, beaanee they
wen suspected of infidallty to his cause, be
manhed bis terrible army towards the
Scythian territory to make additional con
quests. After taking the eity of Maracanda,
the eapitol of 3ogdiana, and laying waste
the surrounding plains, be met an embassy
from the Abian Scythians, who, from the
death of Cyrus, had lived free and inde
pendent, and who were regarded as a peace
able and equitable nation. Alexander re
ceived thia embassy kindly on the banks of
the river laxtharee, which intervened be
tween the Macedonian army and the Soy
thtan territory. The leader of this embas
sy, after surveying the person of Alexan
der, said to him : “Had the gods given tnee
a body proportioned to thy ambition, tbs
whole universe would have been too little
for thee. What have we to do with thee T
May not thoae who inhabit woods be allow
ed to live without knowing who thou art,
or wbenoe thou comeet t Thou who boast
est thy cunning to extirpate robbers, art
tbyself the greatest robber upon earth.—
Thou bast possessed thyself of Lydia, inva
ded Syria, Persia, and Baotriana. Thou
art forming a design to march as for as In
dia, and thou now, eomest to seise upon
our herds of cattle. The great poaseesions
thou hast, only makes thee oovet more ea
gerly what thou hast not If thou art a
god, thou should'st do good to mortals, and
not attempt to deprive them of their posses
sion*. If thou art a man, reflect always on
what tbon art; they, whom thou shall not
molest, will be thy true friends —tbs
strongest of friendships being contracted
between equals. Do not imagino that
those whom thou oonquerest can love thee,
for there is no suoh thing as friendship be
tween tho oonquoror and the conquered,
and a foroed peace is soon followed by war.
To oonolude, do not suppose that the Soy
thiens will take an oath, in concluding an
alliance. The only oath among them is to
word without swearing. Sueli
promises as these, do, iudeed, become'
Groeks, who sign iheir treaties and call
up<fh the gods to witness thou; but, with
regard to us, our religion oonsiets in being
sincere, and in keeping the promises i we
have made. That mae wliois not asham
ed to break his word with men, is not
ashamed of deoeiving the gods ; and of
what use oould friends be to thee whom
thou oould’st not trust TANARUS” Alexander re
plied i “I will take advantage of my own
good fortune,and yuur counsel—of my good
fortune, by still oontinuing to rely upon it.
and ot your oounsel by not attempting an*
tbingmshly.” Ho immediately dismiss'd the
embassadors, fnd floated his army on rafts
across the rivor, and made war upon the
Soytbians. Tho tragic fate of Alexander,
after hie oonquering battallions, had laid
waste the greater portion of Asia, demons
strates that if he had taken, and aoted up
on the excellent advise of the Scythian
embassadors, that he might hare dictated
laws from Macadon to the surrounding na
tions. But alas 1 for human ambition, and
the love of conquest and glory 1 Alexan
der fell a victim to intrigue, and the scep
tre of his kingdom doparted forever. Wo
think that the advioe given by tho Soyhth
ianß to tho Maoedonian thunderbolt ot war,
may be profitable to the dominant party in
this Republio.
Upon the surrender of the Confederate
armies, tho national faith was plightod to
protoct the people of the Southern Stntos,in
tho eqjoymont of their rights, they having
given their parole of honor to return to
their penoefui pursuits, and observe thoir
pledge of fealty to the government. But
tho National faith was broken, and oaths
administered to those whose honor requir
ed tlmt they should koop tho terms of their
surrender. They were thus dishonored by
doubting thoir veraoity and sincerity, and
thousands who were sinoere friends of the
government, during the war, by oppression
aud tyranny, were driven from their fidel
ity, and made to ourso the pooplo in whom
they had confided. We believe, that if the
Government had acted wisely, und trusted
the honor, and integrity of the South after
the surrender, that the wrongs perpetrated
upon them would bare long ago been forgot
ten, and peaoe and prosperity reigned in
all our borders. But the struggle for par
ty supremacy, and tho thirst fur distinction
and political power, seared the hearts and
blinded the eyes of the conquerors, and
they did not hesitate to run riot over the
liberties of the people, and enact meas
ures which alienate instead of bind
ing together the hearts of the American
people. Whether or not the dominant
party will continue to pursue the same
lino of policy, and thereby perpetuate the
strife which has agitated this country for
the last four years is a question which
must he answered by the next Congress.—
We confess, that to us,-the future is not as
bright as patriot* could desire. The pas
sions engendered by the war is fostered by
prominent politicians, and'we fear, that
forgetful of the true interest and glory of
tho Republio, they will still clamor for the
“pound es flesh,” and thus cripple, if not
destroy,J the political privileges and indus
trial interests of our 'peo|H,
Whatever nuty be done by the party In
powar, we sdvi»e our people to let polities
alone for the present, and determine, by
industry and economy, to retrieve their
wasted fortunes. Time will teach the
American people thelMrue interests,
and our children may live to enjoy the lib
erties transmitted to us by our patriotic
ancestry. Young men and maidens, go to
work. If you can find no employment in
towns and cities, go to tbn country and till
the soil, and yon will b& abundantly re
warded.

Judge Parrott, during this week, in Dade

by the laws of force at the date of the
rendition of a judgment, prior to the
adoption of the Constitution, was subject
to levy and sale, is in conflict with the
Constitution of the United States, and to
that exetent, void.
He also decided that sections two and
seven of the “Relief Law,” which author
ize a defendant, by affidavit and motion ;
to open a judgment, and again submit the
oase to a j jry, under that law, for the pur
pose of reducing tho amount according to

First, then—he asserts that daring Collier's Hindu he
was placed in aa out-building without a fire-place,- and
was neglected in the way of nourishment, and had to
beg such from the neighbors. To this 1 answer,- he
•lept up stairs in tr-*y house from the time he first came

to carry out the chamber himself; without having to go
opaud down stairs Oh one occasion, while carrying it
out, ho stumped 2iis foert, fell and broke the vessel. He
was not severely acolded for so doing, nor was he scold*
e4|at all—nor did 1 ref Use to help him up until asked
by a cllisen to do *ao, and my (family that were at
borne knew the allegation to be false, nod will testify
to it. lie further states that thffi said Collier Wus neg
lected In the way of nourishment, during his illness, and
bad to beg such of his neighbors. That Is false, lie
was well attended to, and was oonsultod every day to
know what he wanted to eat, until he come to the table
with the family, aud It was a constant care with my
wife to procure something palatable for him ; and as to
his having to beg nourishment from the neighbors, that
is false, and I challenge Freeman, or any other man,
to bring any neighbor to my house, ok before my family,
tliut will testify that they brought or sent any nourish
meut to my house for Collier, or was ever begged by
him to do so. So far flronr that, none of thorn visited
him during his sickness. Although Freeman had not
seen Collier in 30 years,-he knew him when' they met in
August last, and lovited him to his house. From that
hour Collie: seemed determined' to* visit Freeman and
renew their old acquaintance, anti it tfas in vain for us to
prevent him from going. Fleeman says I met his wile
in the road and never hinted to her my intention. If I
wet his wife, I did not know her. Freeman says I* car

there when I got there. And she ought to be made to
produce the clothing—Freeman is entitled to them for

they were worth at least ten dollars. I now feel that I

BANKRUPTCY. J
Office of the Register in Bankruptcy
I has been removed ffoih. the Court House, to
Boom No 72, Lamer House, Macon Ga.
By an amendment to the Bankrupt Daw, possed In
July last, the time for mine Petition* h.U l>een extend
ed to the :)lst oT December. No man Who owes debts
beyond his ability to pay, should fall to avail himself
of the benefits .of tho .Law while he may. The Regis
ter is now in Macon, at the Lanier House; and will re
main here until Monday night, November SO. Ho will
ifetdrn to Macon on Monday, December filet, and re
main till Monday night, TVoember 23th, when the op
portunity for filing Petitions with him will close at
this place. From the Ist day of December, to Saturday
night, thC lfith, ami on Tuesday and Wednesday,-too
29th add *Uth, he will be in Griffin, whefi the opportu
nity will close there.
Many pedple who are proper subjects ot Bankruptcy
are holding off, and relying upon Belief und JU< me
stead Laws for their protection; such persons are
standing in their own light. Bankruptcy is sure and
ce’rtiln relief. Relief Laws and Homestead Exemp
tions are uncertain* .and subject to so much litigation
(hat should a irfan finally succeed In obtaining relief
from e libarrnssm nt through therr'TnstrnoicntAnty; it
will very llltelv cost him more than Bankruptcy. The
Relief Law passed by the Inst Legislature has already,
been pronounced uncons ilutional by every Ju'dgo of
the Superior Coofttn Georgia, before whom the ques
tion has b(*in made, with perhaps one exception. It is
doubtful whether trio Homestead Exemption, provided
for In (he State Constitution, will stand good against a
debt contracted prior to the adoption of that Constitu
tion ; for ft is a rate o(law ibat “the law of a contract
is the. law that exntefi at the .time the contract was
made. 6 It is almost certain that ft will not stun}
