If we lo not prosper ordinarily, let us 1
complain at no one but ourselves and
try to make amends for the future.
But we commenced this article (if il
is an article,) intending to say alter
the first period, that the Editor hsd
cabbaged our duster to hide his old
clothes, as we supposed, and boarded
the train of day before yesterday for
the pvess sssociation and Thouiasville
fair, and left ye local to furnish the
readers of ths Jousvul with what
newspaper men call a “Leader,” if
readers they have. We did not intend
♦o write about the things we bav”,
tearing that you knew we know s<
prtle about them, but we' couldn’t
round up as was intended ut the outset.
Itealiz ng the responsibility thus so
unjustly shuffl and off upon us by our
Editor, at a late hour at night, in
council with our subs, it was decided
that, in as u.uch as we had not beet
heard from only in the local depart

B"t be eensideret! presumptous lor us
to turn loose upou a leader-, aad in do
ing so, it was understood that we
should not beernfined to any particu

a sort of promiscuous article was
reserved. Thus, having not : cedin the
pveceJirg lines enr agricultural and
commercial interests, we turn, briefly,
to political matters. First upon the
tapis in this department i«,
” COSVkJfriON OK HO CONVEBTIOH.”
We are eorry to note just »t this
p iuf, that time forbids any extend'd
remarks upon this absorbing quest!* n.
Much bus been written and published
>« favor of a convention, and but little
against it. There is an element
throughout the country, of good men,
who seem to differ with the masses as
to the propriety of calling a conven
tion. This element, in the main, con
cede that they would like a convention
if aseuied tliAt their views cou’d be
carried out, to the lettpr, in diafting
anew conatitution. Distrust and a
want of confidence in ourselves and
others, sesm to have gotten deep hold
upon the public mind these latter days,
la it true that disasters and misfor
tune* Lavs followed each ctherinsuch
quick succession ti at we have cessol
to anticipate anything hut evil? Al
low us to suggest that we are nbe'ti r
peoplo than we are accustomed to
think.
If the (imeg demand a cluing .mb the
lundamental law of the land, lat us
coma up to the full measure of our
duty. Vote for a convention aud leave
the regponaibiliry with the delegates
who may be elected for the purpose
nf making tho needful change. The
notion some profoes to entertain, that
the oonstitutioß made will be fastened
vpou ua without ratification is at va
riance with our experience in the past,
ia contrary to our tle'tvv ■ g ,v#onon*
end not in accord with the 1 ill itself
providing for the convention; and in
fact, is intended only for those who
seem to lack confidence in the integ
rity of the people.
But want of time and space forbids
anything further at present. On the
first pugo of this issue wo publish

Augment, Ga., May I®, 1877.
A crime, almost unparalleled in its’
wsnton ferocity, ths speediness with which
it was punished and the unconcern < ilh
which the guilty man confessed it, w»* eipi*
sted at this place to dav, Clurlas Tamniey, a
gigantic negro, havirg peiished upon the
gallows for the murder of Mrs. Caraway, a
most estimable lady.
stort or no. cr.ivr.
On Monday, the l#lh day of April, Mrs*
Csrawsy, the wife of a well-io do (artner, liv
ing about three miles from Nmithville, Smn
ter county, wis murdered in her house du
ring the absence of her husband. It aiipears
that Mr. Caraway lefi the house early on
Monday moruing to look after some woik on
a distant part of his farm, leaving no one at
home but his wife. About eight o’clock that
morning she wn» seen standing in til yard
by a neighbor. At a little after ten o'clock
her mmiater celled to pay a pastoral visit snd
found the house appearanlly empty. Paus
ing for a while to rest himself, he heard a
low and pitiful moaning in sojourning room.
Hastening to see what it meant be was
•hocked to fiud Mra. Caraway lying near the
hearthstone in a dying and unconscious con
dition. Her head was literally beaten out of
shape. The skull was crushked in several
plaees and fragments ot it had been diiven
into the poor woman’s brain. It was plain
that sho must have been assailed with a
Urge bludgeon. Dark pods ot blood had
settled in various places on the floor, and
her h»ir was stiff with clo'ted gore. Her
condition was close upon death. She cenld
net see, or speak or, move, and only c eaned
uneasily at intervals.
jrsTics arocskd.
Tho minister at once rushed out and gave
the alarm. Mr. Caraway was summoned and
a large crowd was soon gathered at the
house. Mr. Carrawuy’s grief upon seeiug the
mutilated body of his wife, who had beet,
his faithful and affectionate ptrtner for thir
ty years, is described a« having been fearful
The neighbors were, of course, in a state
of cousternation over the terrible ar.d wanton
crime, and began at ence to cast about for
some clew that might lead to its perpetrator.
Mr Caraway and his wife were such notaolv
mild and inoff'nisve people that it was hard
to believe they had an enemy in the world.
It was suspected' that the murder wm perpe
trated by a robber. A search of the house
disclosed the tact that several trunks had
been broken open and one little tin trunk,
usually secreted aud the repository of valua
ble papers, bid been carried- *ff. In the
back yard, where the clay was soft, teveral
enormous footprints were discovered. It
transpired that, when the misiv.ev was near
ing tbe house, he had seen a large negro
standing in the road, a short distance above
the place, whose actions struck him as being
suspicious. Theae were the only clews offered.
iCSrtCtos.
Finally, someone suggested that the only
man in tbe county whose feet were large
enough to fill the foot-prin'e in the back
yard was Charles Tom.ney, a negro ol an ex
traordinarily large frame, Wpon his heiug
described the minister averred that the de
scription tallied precisely with tbe negro be
had met a short distance from the house,
after the killing occurred. It wag fu’thar
ascertained that this negro had some years
previously been a workman upon Mr Cara
way‘s place and that he and Mr. Caraway
had had a disagreement concerning a trade
of some cattre, and that the negro left the
service of Mr. Caraway feeling that ha had
been badly used. Mr. Caraway further sta
ted that this negro knew of the existence
and usual couleuts ot the little tin trunk that
was missing —a knowledge that was not at all
general.
Tenuity cirrcaiyn.
Upon the above suggestions and informa
tion a justice of the peace summoned a
posse and sallied out to hunt Tommev. He
was found at hie house, about six miles dis
tant from the scene of the murder. As the
Justise and posse approaches? Tommey ap
peared at the window and was evidently
very much frightened. He left the window
apeadily, and dashing towurd the rear of the
house attempted to escape. Seeing, however
■hat be was surrounded he surrendered him
«e!f. When he was first questioned he said
nothing. His house was searched, and the
tin trunk that was missing Irom Caraway’s
house was found under i:is bed. It contained
$10.45 in silver (the amount stolen) bat the
valuable papers were missing. Upon the
discovery of the trunk the negro made a
fall and voluntary confession, giving all th»
details of his performance of the crime. At
the conclusion of Ins confe-sioo which be
and livered in the most nonchalant and self
coPeo'ed manner, he proposed to take hie
captora to the place in the woods where
he had hidden the valuable nepers. He was
encouraged to do this, and the papers were
all recovered.
TOHJET'S coxrsssio*.
Yesterday the prisoner made the follow
ing statement of hie case to his jailor.
"I killed Mrs. Caraway almost without in
tending to do it. I did not kill her f.om my
first intention. You see some years ago, Mr
Caraway, according to my idea then, cheat
ed me in a trade for a y ar'ing. I had ner
er liked him sine*, and when I passed his
house that morning and saw no one there
but his wile, I thought it was a good chance
to get even with him, ao I entered the house
with no other purpose than to take enough
things to make me even. I wiited until Mrs.
Caraway had gone into the house, and then
I entered the yard. The dog sprang upon
uie, and although 1 fought him off he made
such a noise that he ('.traced Mrs. Caraway
I saw at once that I should have to get her
eyes closed for awhile. So I just entered
and talked to her awhile. When she turned
her back I struck her sharply ou the back
of the head. She fell ou the fireplace,
groaning ter, ibljr. I hurried from ihe room
ami aeiaad the tin trunk where t knew the
money was kept. I was disappointed at find
ing ouly a handful of aitver in ii, and ih eu
looked aruuod the house for sonje'h'ng else j
to take.

AN INTERVIEW WITH THE MURDERER.
Your ent visited the jail
early this morning, and was admitted
through the couitesy of Mr. Wheeler,
the Slim ill, before the preparations for
the death had commenced.
The prisoner, crouched in the furth
est corner of his cell, was not a bed
looking man. He was sis feet and
a hall high anil of hroad proportions.
He hud a nigh 'orshead and intelli
gent eyes. His face wascovered with
a t in struggling heard.
0.. enteiing into conversation with
the doomed man, jour correspondent
found him apparently unconcerned
about the future Altar begging a
chow of tobacco ho stated that he had
nothing to say for the public; he had
accounted to God for w -at ho had
done, anil bo cared not what man
til ugiit of him. On being pressed,
ho said, “I will tell you one thing that
I have acknowledged to no one ex
cept my jailor. VI hile Mrs. Caraway
was uticoncinuß aud in a dying condi
tion l committed’ an outrage on her
poison. I kept this a secret fur fearof
being lynched.”
READY TOR DEATH.
While with the prisoner he sold his
body to tbe physicians for S3. Ou
leaving the jail he faced a crowd of
‘2,000 people without fear or trem
bling, and as he lode on his coffin to
the gallows, quietly chewed your re
porter’s tobacco, and calmly gazed at
the surging crowd. When we readi
ed the gibbet we lound a least 5,000
people, many of whom were white h
dies, assembles to witness the ven
geance of the law. He left the wagon
and ascended tbe scaffold with a firm
tiead, without any sign of fear.

nothing more to say.”
BTRANOYKD BY LEOAL PROCESS.
Turning to the Sheriff, he said, “I
a® ready,,” and without a quiver in
any muscle he stepped upon the fatal
trnp and lialJ his hands for the cords
to be tied by the Bheiiff, As the
cup was b. ing adjusted lie spit cut,
his tobacco and said, “Lord, may the
Limb pruy.” At this moment the
trnp fell, and fulling seven feet hi
boily hung dangling at tbe end of
the hangman’s rope. His writhing-*
showed that his neck was not broken,,
and Kftsr sixteen minutes he was
pronouuced dead from strangulatioi .
INDECENT HABTS.
