\vho belonged u toe scout is still living in this place, anil gives, as I learn, the above account of the transaction. Ho assisted to bury Miss McCrca at the foot of the tree where she fell. Scrr.e years ago her remains were taken up and interred in the burial ground at Fort Edward.— Lieutenant Jones, soon after hearing ot the dis ruitor, abandoned the army and returned to Can si ita. Punishment in China. —Perhaps the most dread ill punishments are inflicted upon criminals in the “Celestial Empire,” and crimes are pro bahly hoc omniitted more frequently than in any otl:or country. i or the murder of a parent or near relative, or fur rebelhon, the prisoner is made to undergo a punishment called Luig-elie, which isperfoim cd by cutting him to pieces, by degrees, com mencing at the set or hands. In case he has anv relative who ca: bribe the executioner, the toi lure may be abridged, and his sufleringseased by pier mg tne iieart; at times this may be ,one for a sum:! sum.—Another punishment for the same often e is the tolluwiug— The C iprit is fastened with his back to a large cross, placed in the ground with his hands ana set l so tied that he cannot move an inch in any dim >io:i. An incision is then made across the so e ead, and the skin pulled down over the eyes ami tiice; then the feel, hands, legs, arms find head, are successively cut otflrom the trunk which is finally pierced to the heart—Behead ing is a punishment for adultery, murder, &c. The prisoner is made to kneel (in some public place, but not exposed on a scaffold,) towards the throne ofthe ‘-Son of Heaven,” and as if re turning thanks for the punishment about to l> received; he bows, and while raising m head, it is struck otf by one blow ol th • \vord; the bea . is then put into a . age, sent to the place where the crime was c mmitted.and hung at the end of a pole or agains; a wall. The men em ployed in this service are very expert and strong, und go to their work with as much composure as a butcher to the slaughter. Prisoners are often after being confined in gaol, let loose and bianded on the forehead witu a hot iron, so that they will be known wherever they go. For stealing, the perpetrator of the i line is dragged through the streets by a party o. soldiers, who alternately lash him with a thr- mg made of plai ted rattans on the bare back, and beat a large gong to give the people notice that they may witness the punishment. In some cases the knees and ankles are compressed in Iron ma chines made for the purpose; this is extremely .pauikil. l'here is no punishment more common -or unmercifully executed than tnat of whipping. Smuggling saltpeter into the country, irom ■which powder may be manufactured, is punish ed by decapitation. Strangling is also a very common punishment. The criminal is tied to a strong upright stake, with his hands and feet fastene ; a stout cord is then putround his neck, and passed through a hole pierced in the stake. A stick of about i 1-2 inch in diameter is attach ed to tue cord, and the executioner sta ding be hind, wrenches n round. The eyes soon start from their sockets, and he tongue is seen issu xig from the mouth which foams and bleeds excessively; finally the neck is cut through by the cord and the ro ad falls to the ground. No cap or covering of any kind is placed over the face during the execution. The following crimes which should come as well under the cognizance of the law as others, re leniently punished. A grandfather or grandmother killing a grand child, a father or mother wilfully murdering their own son or daughter, and a master or mistress putting to death a domestic slave, are only pun ished with 60 oi 70 blows,and should they wish to lay the murder falsely on some other person, the punishment is but SO blows and three years transportation. The Holy Bible in Chinese. —A second edi tion of the Bible has recently been published at the Anglo Chinese College. Malacca; it is a large and beautiful octavo; in 21 volumes, and lias been printed with new blocks. Had the College been the means of accomplishing no thing more than the publication of this and a former edition of the Bible, we should thi.ik its founder and contributors repaid for all their la bors. —But we know from good authority, that many of the students, who have been educated in the College, are now filling respectable sta tions, civil or commercial, in the Jstrants: and that some of them are teaching the English lan guage in Pegu and Cochin china. * And above all, we rejoice to know that some have received the gospel in the love of it; obey its precepts, enjoy its consolations, and assist, even in Chi na itself, in diffusing a knowledge ofits righteous requisitions and its glorious promises. —Chinese Conner, Tribute to Washington at the Dublin Theatre. Mr. Hackett, the actor, gives the following account of an occurrence at Dublin Theatre: ■•‘The first night of Rip Var Winkle, when in the midst of the scene where he finds himscli lost in amazement at the change of his native village, as well as in himself and every body he meets, a person of whom lie is making enquiry mentions the name of W ashington, Hip asks ‘Who is he?’—The other replies—‘What! did you never here of the immortal George Wash ington, the Father of his country V The whole auditin''e from pit to gallery seeemed to rise, and with shouting, huzzas, clapping of hands and stamping §of feet made the very building ehake. These deafening plaudits ‘continued eome time, and wound up with three distinct rounds. To describe to you my feelings during such on unexampled thunder gust of national enthusiasm is utterly impossible, I choked— the tear gushed from my eyes, and I can assure you it was only by great effort that I restrained myself from destroying all the illusions of the Bcene.by breaking the fetters with which the age and character of Hip had invested me, and ex claiming in the fullness of my heart, ‘God bless old Ireland.” — Albany Advertiser. Ferocity of the white Shark. —'The white ehark, in his wide, dilatable jaws, has six re cf sharp triangular teeth; which can be raised or depressed by appropriate muscles, nt pleasure. Its velocity is such, that nothing seems to be able to escape, and its grcadincss is never satis fied. By one gripe of tho jaws, they can cut a man in two. A red hot cannon ball is some times lowered over the side to one ot these dis agreeable followers of a ship, which the seamen has the satisfaction of scciug the shark receive into his yawning throat. At the pearl fisheries of South America, where white sharks arc numerous, visiting the mighty caverns in the rocks, the water being so clear that a small object may be seen at considerable distance; the divers, familar with the character of the monster, are obliged to go armed in sell defence. For this purpose some carry a long sharp knife. As the shark’s mouth is placed somewhat under the head, he endeavors to get over his intended victim, and if he discovers no disposition in the Indian to move, gently settles down over him with his horrible mouth widely extended. With the coolness of a philosopher, the instant he is near enough to be reached, the diver plunges the knife into his vitals. Avery ingenious mode whit h is practised, says a wri ter, from whom these observations have been principally extracted, is for the diver to carry j down w ith him four or five hard wood sticks, about two feet long, sharpened at both ends. In case he is likely to be disturbed in his search for tho oyster, by the visit of this king ol sharks, he thursts one of the slicks between hts jsws, as he is in the act of closing them. This props them asunder, and the torcc with which they are brought to act on the stick, securely pins both ends into the bones, and away he goes without the possibility of a remedy. Instances have been known of an Indian who was so sharply set upon, that he gave away thiee sticks in suc cession before quitting his dangerous post. At the Marquesas Islands, where this shark abounds, the native swim in the midst of them quite fearlessly; and the only reason why more of them are not devoured, must be the peculiar ease with which they are supplied with large fish. Whenever, however, a nativeis so unhap py as to be caught by one of them, his asso ciates never exert themselves in the least, to ex tricate him, because it is a common matter of belief there, that sharks never seize any but tic wicked—or transgressors of law, and therefore the men deserve to die. A gentleman ofour acquaintance informed us that he saw a young girl swimming from a Bos ton vessel, waiting to receive a cargo of sandal wood, with a heavy bur of iron, on her shoulder, which she had contrived to steal from the deck. She swain under water a considerable distance, before coming up for breath, but the moment she was seen, the boats put off’with the expec tation of recovering the bar. Just as the boats were so near that she was fearful of being struck with an oar, which was raised by a man in the bow, she plunged a se cond time, the boats pursued the track, but as she came up to the surface, still holdina the iron a “mighty white shark swallowed her at one ef fort: the velocity towards Ills object being so great, that as he rolled upward,the girl was driv | en down his throat.” THE WESTERN LriRALD. AUK ARIA, GEORGIA, SEPTEMBER 7, 1833. •CF* Ve arc authorized to anounce the name of nlaj OEL ORA .VFORI), of ilancack county, for Governor at the ensuing Election. XX : — Ratification .Meeting. — \Ve understand there will be a meeting of the people near the line of Hall and Gwinnett counties; about three miles from the Chattahoochee, on Friday next, for the purpose of discussing the merits and demerits of the proposed amendment to the Constitution. XX : The Superior Court of Lumpkin county, sit the three days allowed for its session,and was adjourned over until the fourth Monday of this mst. There was not much bu siness done; the trial of Jesse N. Brown, for the murder of Robert Ligon, consumed the major part of the time of the Court, and resulted in a mistrial. Brown is remand ed to Hall county jail. • —xx ■— .4 Crmcded Bar — V, e have attended three Courts in the Cherokee Cin-.uit, during the present riding, Chero kee, Forsyth and Lumpkin. There were about forty | members of the Ba at Cherokee; twenty-five or thirty at : Forsyth, and between fifty and sixty at Lumpkin. This evidences the hardness of times of which the profession generally complain. —■xx--~ The Governor and the Missionaries. —In these days of - political degeneracy, men who hold high offices in our ! government, should be watched well, and dealt by accor- I dingly. j When wc see the Chief Magistrate of the state, de scend from the high watch towel upon which the people I have placed him, and diving into the’ vitals of our govern i ment, and undermining the very pillars which must sup ; port it, ifit stands at all, wc hold that it is not only our right but our duty, “to cry aloud and spare not,” even i though Governor Lumpkin himself, should be offended at us iir telling what himself, and liis followers well know to be “ the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth.’’ j It is well known by the people of Georgia, that the tVj is : sionaries, \V orecster and Butler, w ere the open violators of a known law ofthe land; that they, with several oth ers, particeps crimines, were sentenced under the law which they had so wilfully, and flagrantly violated, to the Penitentiary for the term of four years. When they ar rived at Milledgeville, Governor Gilmer, to show them and the world, that all the state required in its sovereign capacity, was that its laws should not be trampled under 1 foot, or violated with impunity; which he thought perhaps j these deluded offenders might have been erroneously led j to believe; he offered them pardon by their then compli- j ance with tiie requisition of the broken law, under which I they were imprisoned, w hich was readily accepted by all ol them, save the two political and religious onthueiaste, v o wore determined to brave it out, regardless of conse quences, in order to become the tools of northern fanati I iusm, tor the purjiosD ol iuidin£ Insult to an uneaiiy injur ed southern people, they Were imprisoned, and no Geor gian pretended to dotiht the justice of the sentence, or ventured an assertion against the policy of their confine ment And while the tom nts of abuse was heaped upon us, in Copious showers from die Northern presses, while their professed religious enthusiasts were disgracing themselves, and degrading their calling, by standing in the synagogues, Publican like, offering up their prayers to Almighty God, to enlighten the understandings of the ignorant and hcathsn Georgians, we had the consolation to know, that the fault was not ours (hut that of the law less Missionaries,) and under that belief, all were w illing to sec the convicts atone, at the expense of their own fol ly, and their own daring impudence. No sympathy was felt on the occasion, save that produced nt the seeming obstinacy of the outrageous convicts until the authorities ‘ofthe Supreme Court was aroused to test the strength of Georgia, and try the right of n state to enact, and enforce laws for the government of her own people; a right which tho consolidation's of late, have had the daring effronte ry to question. It was then, when the people were rest ing in slumbering security, we find the cowardly, sub missive Governor, of our now almost degraded state, dis posed to ield the point without controversy, and leave the state in its present dilemma, with no rights that she dare to claim, so long as the present incumbent sits in her Executive Chamber. If the people of Georgia wish to be tyranixed over b the General Government; hav the;: laws and constitu tion swallowed up by the doctriue of consolidation; with the right reserved in the compact by the state denied her,and oppressions heaped upon the people,too servile to be borne by freemen; and their petitions and remonstrances treated with scorn and derision; and a Congressional Force Bill in all its bioodvdeformity,brandishingthcswoid of exter mination over those w ho claim the right of self-relief from an iron handed, consolidated governmeut. If they wish to have the right of passing laws acknowledged, and the right of enforcing them alter passed denied, as was the case with the Missionary question, let them re-elect Governor Lumpkin, who is so submissive in his disposi tion, and cowardly in his nature, that he will give up whatever may be asked for, no matter how unreasonable the request, or how great the sacrifice of compliance on th pari of the state. -:XX:~ Just as might hare been expected.—The Grand Jury at the late Superior Court in Lumpkin county, recommend ed the Ratification ofthe proceeding of the late Conven tion. We do not believe that their recommendation w ill have any influence, nor are we at all surprised at the re commendation, for the Jury boxes were made up shortly after the organization of the county, when wc had but lew permanent citizens in the county except those cut off to us from Hall and Habersham, and if we are not mista ken, ourpcople in both those counties claim to have been greatly benefitted politically, by the cut off If’c impugn not the integrity of the Grand Jury, but we must beg leave to enter our most solemn protest, on the first ion day in October next, and we fear not but we shall be strongly backed by the people, who alone can now deter mine whether the majority or minority, shall govern in future. flail County, July 30, 1833. TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OF THE MIGHTY WORKSHOP. Sir, —I see in the Western Herald ofthe 10th ult. that you have discovered anew medicine, (the I .umpkiniana Panacea) and that you have in due form of law, obtained a patent for the same; that it can be had at the Might;. Workshop, where it is prepared in its purity, &c. The accompanying certificates from “ Die in the ditch,” “ Jim Crow” and “ Democratic Yeoman,” are certainly well calculated to bring it into immediate and extensive use. I had been much surprised at the political course of those men, without knowing what cause to at tribute it to. But after seeing their certificates of its powerful effects, the whole mystery was immediately solved. I congratulate your Ex cellency on so important a discovery, and not only hope, but believe, that you will be amply rewarded for your ingenuity and labor. There certainly never was a time when there was so much political agitation, and when something of the same or similar virtues to the Lumpkiniana Panacea was so much needed. You have so often been upon the fence and turned, suc cessfully, that it seems to me one half of your “ feeble and selfish auxiliaries” have ta ken it into their heads, that it is tho only road to office. I know one man who says, that you promised him the very same office that you af terwards gave to General Coffee, and so sure was he, that you would comply with the promise, that he borrowed money, and got the promise of many, who weie in a state of preparation to accompany him to Cherokee, in the capacity of Guards: and to the astonishment ofthe Captain and his promised company, the commission never come. Here you must know, is a fit case for a speedy application of the Lumkiana Panacea. Another man says, that you promised him a secretaryship, and that was the last he heard of it, till some other “ feeble auxiliary” was cal led to the Shop. I told him if you did make him such a promise, I had no doubt it was done before the election, when he ought to look over it, as you never was very particular about what you said or done when you wanted office. He admitted that it was some weeks before the election, but still insisted that you had done him injustice, and that he could not support you. A small dose of the Panacea, I think will set him right. I heard another one of your (use to be) warm supporters in a public company say, very much too, to the amusement of all present, that you had turned, and turned, and turned, ’till there was no telling where to find you, and that *no man cculd support you without a total abandon ment of principle, for iliat you hailed from all points of the political compass at the same time, and that he advised your friends, not to undertake (o justify turning again, but to let their communication be, “ I’m for Lumpkin, right or wrong,” and that’s all. He further went on to say, that you brought foicibly to his mind, an anecdote that occurred in the neigh borhood of his raising, viz : that old Johney White one morning called to Sam, (the hog fee der) to know if that sow had piged yet. O yes massa, she done brought urn last night. Well Sam, how many has ehe I don’t know j zackly ntassa, l count aeben, and dar nuther i little d—m one, keep such a turnin bout, I no 1 count him. Your friend then wont on to make i the application, and said, that you, like the little pin, kept such a turning about, that old . am, nor no one else could count you. You may be sure I felt pretty wrothy, and determined to wnto immediately, for some of the Lumpkim ana Panacea, for you say it is a sort ot “ king cure all,” and that is the very thing we arc in need of here. There are divers other cases where it is wanting, and might be administered 1 most beneficially. Every case however, shall ibe attended to. You never saw so many fel i lows on the fence, and on ’tolher side, as we have in this county. The Pendleton Messen ger has been telling some stories on honest John, that will completely put him down, unless there is redemption in the Panacea, and you know that he has been a strong stake in the fence. In short, Sir, things are in a bad way here, and some speedy application must be made, or we are all gone in this county. I have great confidence in the Panacea, and want you to send me up a supply forthwith. Believe me to be a full-blooded demociatic Yeoman. HAL. LIGHTI-OOT. P. S. Don’t send it in your little ‘* pepp.r corn pills,” but put it up like the apothecaries do their putty, in large beef bladders, and a plenty of them too. If you can possibly do without the services of Doctor Cuthbert, send him up with them. H. L. FOR TIIC WESTERN HERALD. TO THE SUPERINTENDENT OFTHE MIGHTY WORKSHOP. Having seen in the Western Ilerald of the 10th ult. the new patent medicine prepared and vended by you, with tho accompanying certifi cates of“ Die in the Ditch,” “Jim Crow” and the “ Democratic Yeoman,” which I deem fully sufficient to entitle the Lumpkiniana Panacea, to full credit, with all the politically diseased of the human family; out well recollecting the powerful effect it had upon me, I send you the subjoined certificate, which is ot your disposal to publish or not, as you may think most ad vantageous, in your turning business. I, Doctor Sell State, do certify, that I have always been a whole hog going federalist, snout, tail and all; that I never thought of turning, or had the least shadow of doubt, but that Con gress had power to make the people slaves or freemen at will, and sell a state at pleasure; and that the Supreme Court had the power to deter mine whether or not, it would be treason for the people to grumble, even if they were made slaves, or sold; and that General Jackson, has the right to hang just who he pleases, with out judge or jury; and that these doctrines might prevail in Georgia. I joined the Clark par ty in secr-tly advocating them by degrees, so as to lead the people blindly into them, without their seeming to know it. But to my utter as tonishment, at the May Reduction Convention, I found “ Jim Crow;” “ Die in the Ditch,” the “ Democratic Yeoman” and others, going in as I thought, too openly lor the measure, by pla cing a project before the people, giving the minority the directascendancy over the majority, in all state matters; and I took it into my head that there was too much pudding for the dog to swallow at on-.e, and went against i'; conscien tiously believing it was more than the people ought to submit to, at one drag. 1 both spoke, and voted against its adoption. I afterwards walked by the Mighty Workshop, and smelt the Lumpkiniana Panacea, and went home, and have from that time to this,went the whole Rat, and believed it was light for the people to Ratify, what I could not vote fer myself. DR. SELL STATE. And I too, DR. M. TELEGRAPH. COMMUNICATED. Jl thrust in the dark, (alias) curiosity gratified. Mr. Editor, —A conversation has just been related to me, which I deem too good to keep. A young Georgian was recently thrown in com pany with the celebrated Col. Williams, of Ten nessee, at Fouts Spring in Blunt county; the sam Col. Williams, of gold mine memory, who not long since, wished to lease Georgia’s lands from the Indians, for the purpose of taking therefrom, the treasures of the State. Col. W. ascertaining the young man alluded to, was from Georgia, and feeling himself un known, animadverted rather severely on Geor gia and her citizens. By way of retort, the Georgian replied, he believed the Citizens oi Georgia would never suffer by a comparison with Tennesseeans; in deed, to evidence the superiority of Georgia’s citizens, he said, no instance could be given when one ol them had attempted to buy up, or lease from the Indians, the lands of Tennessee. The in cog, Colonel remarked, he supposed if such an arrangement had been made by the Tennesseean with the Indians, the people of Georgia would have shot him ? No replied the Georgian, very gravely, he would now have been in our Penitentiary making Wheel-bar rows. The Colonel fiuding he had caught a tarter, ended his inquiries amid the well-timed mirth of many persons present, to whom he was known. C. The Governor vs. the Laws and Constitution. Speaking some weeks ago of the forbearance which the republican preses ofthe State had ex ercised up to that time towards his present Ex cellency’s administration, we remarked it had not been for want of occasions; there being an abundance of materials for criticism; and we mentioned and established first one, and then another wrong movement that just then present ed themselves. This provoked abundance of ire. Every sort of evil motive has been imputed and almost every injurious epithet, of high and low degree, lavished upon us, whilst the admin istration has been held up as perfectly unques tionable. excepting always in the cases as to which it had been questioned. The errors and misconduct ofthe Executive, that vv have here tofore had occasion to observe upon, weie such as happened or were brought to light just at that time, and were noticed as they passed. Ab tve have been so often inv ited, we will now gimy hack a little to two or three facts that have be long known, in which we thing the Governor * the exercise of that most important function so appointing power, has several times violaw sometimes in the same act; both the constitutim’ and the laws of the land. And that the case may be fairly stated, we com such parts of each, as we intend to comrnsc upon. The following is the 11th Sec. Ist Ait. oft constitution of Georgia—Digest 549-50, * 107. Sec. 11. No person holding any miliij. commission or other appointment, having emolument or compensation annexed thereto under this State, or the United States, of them, (except justices of the inferior cotm, justices ofthe peaco, and officers of the nor any person who has had charge of p u yj! money’s belonging to the State, unaccounted fa and unpaid, or who has not paid all legal taxer or contributions to the government i equiredo’ him, shall have a seat in either branch of so general assembly; nor shall any senator orre! presentotive be elected to any office or appoic;. ment by the legislature, having any emolument) or compensation annexed thereto, during so time for which he shall have been elected, n the above exceptions, unless he shall dedfo accepting his seat, by notice to the execute, within twenty days alter he shall have been el#l ted; nor shall any member after having taken it seal, be eligible to any ofthe aforesaid office appointments during the lime for which In sfcj have been elected. The Governor’s oath is in the sth article, p. 554. “ I do solemnly swear or affirm, (asthecas, may be,) that I will faithfully execute the oflfo of governor of the State of Georgia; ant. ill, (, the best of my abilities, pieserve, protect, an defend the said state, and cause justice loh executed in mercy therein, according to them slitulion (m l laws thereof !” It hence appears that a member of the legit lature, after having taken his seat, is constim tionally ineligible, that is to say, expressly fa. bidden to hold any appointment, having at: emolument annexed thereto, under this Stale Justices of the inferior court and of the peat; and militia officers are excepted, but no emoh ment is annexed to those offices. The lottery act of 1830, sec. 8, provides so emolument of the district surveyors. The4ti section ofthe same act, pamphlet p. 128, ernes that district surveyors shall be elected by so people, two in each of some ofthe lurgcstcoua. ties, and one in each of the others, end tfe proceeds to direct, that “In case any of the counties should failb elect a surveyor agreeable to this section, so Governor shall appoint to fill such failure—and in case any vacancy shall happen by death, re signation or otherwise, the same shall be filled by their respective counties, in the same niante; as they were first elected.” This enactment, it will be seen, contemplate two events. First, where the county shall lai to elect a surveyor; i:i which case the Govemir is directed to appoint; and secondly, where® election has been had, but the office become afterwards vacant “ by death, resignation orofo ervvise.” In these instances anew elecli# must be had in the same county. There is ds a third case provided for in section 10, ate the vacancy happens after the surveyor sis! have commenced the performance of Ills dote; but we are not aware that any such occurred. We now state the follow ing lacts, most offos from the record, and all of which we believe# be true. If it can be shewn that wc are misfr ken or misinformed in any one of them, we w of course immediately retract it. BemenM the names of persons and places for no i r rii ous purpose. It is obviously properto design* the ease distinctly, that it may be the easier cm tradjeted if not true; and it moreover seems# us that inisteriously to withhold the namewrf be giving it an air of importance as to tho sen ral individuals appointed, to which it is not him entitled. They will not understand us as d ing them in question.—ln the bustle and cm# sion of such an occasion they may not Iw thought of mooting constitutional questions,ah may have taken w ithout investigation or scruplei what was bestowed by that high officer, win* business it was to examine and decide in all sw cases. Daniel Stone was elected one of the disW surveyors, from DeKalb county, but resigned!* fore the Ist of April, 1832, when the Survey* were convened by the Governor. Here a® ll election in the county, and a subsequent vacancy “ by resignation,” and the plain duty of theft ecutive, under the act, was to order anew el tion. This was not done that we ever beards’ If not, it was a non compliance with the • We presume no election was ordered, becat the Governor proceeded to fill the vacancy,® so exercised that power himself, which by law was confided to the people of that comv He filled the vacancy by appointing to the o the Senator from DeKalb county, who haw been elected at the preceding October elec’ his office of course did not expire till 0 C 1832. This was in violation of the Cons uon. Mr. 4 leveland, thus appomted; suiJT the 16th district, 2d sectioD, and received P 105 62. . Another case. E. R. Harford was * , district surveyor by the people of We and county, but did not appear as ordered on • ’ of April, 1832, to receive his instrvicri o and shortly afterwards resigned. This *** other vacancy “by resignation.” Heret find no order for anew election; but the vat filled by the executive appointment o’ ‘ Gaither of Baldwin county. This wou been illegal as an exercise of undelegat thority, had the office been given to a per . Mclntosh, and doubly so, in taking wj? from the county to which it belonged, ther surveyed district No. 18, ofthe 8a se and received as his compensation $2,11 •. Yet another case. Daniel J Black district surveyor, from Ware county, and drew a district, but resigned wj 4 mcncing his duties as surveyor. Now i rious to observe the variety of illegal a® l
