BY J. I). HOYL& CO.
A Fair-minded Northern Man’s
impressions of the South.
Mi- E. B. Haskell, editor in chief of
the Boston Herald, has lately been on
an extended tour through the South.
His conclusions, says the Philadelphia
ltecord, are of peculiar value in that
they represent the views of a man of
independent mind, of extended travel,
of shrewd judgment, and of one who
wou:d not be misled by appearances.
He first remarks upon the semi-rural
nature of Southern cities, and the fact
that the South still remains an agricul
tural section. Beyond the Mississippi
good horsemanship is universal, even
the negroes being greatly addicted to
mule riding. Athletic outdoor sports
have given the men an erect carriage
and an exemption from those optical
disabilities which place the eyeglass
astride the nose of so many young New
Englanders. Though no book-wornis,
the Southerners have a taste for read
ing ; but their conservatism does not
allow them to take kindly to those de
lineations of morbid mental phenomena
or those too often successful attempts
lot naturalistic nastiness which crowd
the book sellers’ counters and feed the
insatiable patrons ot our circulating li
braries. A feature of Southern char
acter is the reverence in which the cler
gy are held. The respect shown to
ministers of every denomination reminds
one of the traditions of early ecclesias
tical New England, when the ministers
was far more a power in the communi
ty than he is to-day. The proportion
of young men in the Southern churches
is greater than is the case in the North.
To have the reputation of an infidel or
an atheist in the South carries with it
the penalty of social isolation. New
England liberalism is looked upon with
suspicion, and the Concord “School of
Philosophy” would command no atten
dance in any Southern State. The free
lovers, who hold thou - debates and lec
tures sopubl'cly inNew England, would
find their necks in immediate danger in
any town from Virginia to Texas.
In every Southern community female
honor is guarded by a public sentiment
as inexorable to offenders as the laws of
Draco. All through the South ladies
ride over the loneliest roads without
fear of insult. The “tramp,” that hid
eous production of our civilization, is
almost unknown in the South. In
Southern cities ladies can wa k the
streets unmolested by well dressed
scoundrels. Every white man in the
community considers himself the pro
tector of every lady. The tone of pub
lic sentiment in this regard is so heal
thy that woman in the South lias a
freedom recalling the chivalric days of
old. A certain sort of men who haunt
the streets of Northern cities would
have short shrift in Savannah, Vicks
burg or New Orleans. The Southern
man or woman, not being given over to
newspapers, magazines and books, lias
retained what is in many of our commu
nities a lost art—that of conversation.
One of the marks of good breeding in
the South is the ability to converse well.
Conversation is cultivated as a fine art.
Almost everybody talks, and talks well
The conversational vocabulary of South
erners is well stored with good English
words. There is a certain old-fashion
ed way of pronouncing many words, due
to the fact that conversation, and not
books, gives the law to pronunciation.
The effect is sometimes laughable to a
Northerner who has been drilled into
the recognition of hypercritical and in
tractable dictionary distinctions. It is
common to have “Jeerns” for James,
“dark” for clerk, “gyurl” for girl,
“rigiment” for regiment, etc. Some
times words are oddly accented; for ex
ample: “Fanatic’' with the stress laid
on the first syllable, “temperament”
with the accent on the second, etc. A
Southern young man does not get to be
“twenty-one,” but “ono-and-twenty.
“I reckon” stands for the New England
“I guess.” At the Southern bar and
in the legislative hall a good deal of at
tention is paid to oratory. Rhetoric is
studied. The Southern orator is apt to
soar into the realms of hiphfalutin. In
Kentucky every other man is able to
talk one to death.
Contrary to Northern opinion, the j
South is not given over to whisky.
There is less drinking in many South
ern cities in proportion to the popula
tion than in Boston. The wearers of
the blue ribbon arc many. Among the
negioes there is a noticeable absence ot
that jollity aud gayety attributed to
them by the novels aud taks of antc-
Dellum days. Sambo has “hung up dc
fiddle au’de bow” and “jined de church, j
The pious negroes are as firmly opposed j
to worldly amusements, such a- dancing
and fiddling, as ever were the Puritans, j

has many points of social excellence.
The sense of “honah,” although often
overstrained, has made iniercourse be
tween man and man in the South some
thing delightful. Thcte is a mutual
deference, a quiet courtesy of manner
and an absence of brusqueness, even in
business formalities, which impress the
observer from the Nertli. Life South
lias more outward finish and more in
ward repose than in the North.
ONE CAUGHT.
One of the Defoor Murderers
Arrested.
The Work of Captain Starnes and
the Bloodhound “Lee.”
Yesterday morning abort t. eleven
o’clock Aaron Burks, an old negro man
who lives about eight miles west of the
city, came to town; and, hunting up
Captain Starnes, told him ‘dat der was
a mighty ’spicious nigger hangin’ round
his house.” In the conversations with
him, Captain Starnes ascertained that
on Sunday afternoon a negro had appli
ed to Aaron for work, and that during
their talk the negro had displayed a
thorough knowledge of the killing. This
so aroused old man Aaron's suspicions
that he determined to notify the officers
of what lie knew.
As soon as Captain Starnes heard
what the negro had to tell, he says he
“felt sure lie had his man,” and made
haste to repair to the place, hoping to
catch the negro where Aaron liad left
him. Accompanied by Officers Wright,
Gordon and Kreiss, ho was soon on Ills
way to the supposed locality of the ne
gro. When they airived at the place
where Aaron had left him, they found
that he had flown.
At once “Lee,” one of Mr. Krcis’s
blood hounds, was put upon the trail
and before long he struck it and began
to run it down with a vim. No sooner
did the dog open than the negro who
was secreted near by began a race for
life and one which continued four hours
and ten minutes and covered about fif
teen miles of ground. Exhaustion
finally compelled the negro to quit the
race and attempt to hide himself. Upon
Mr. Lee’s place there is a gin house
and near it a large pile of straw, and it
was this which offered the negro a tem
porary haven of rest, and here ’twas
that he was caught. When the pursu
ers came up to the gin house, they found
“Lee” circling around but in no way
desposeil to leave the straw pile. Mr.
Kreiss became satisfied from the dog’s
actions that the negro was secreted in
flic straw stack, and so said, but others
thought that both Mr. Kreiss and the
dog were at fault. So thoroughly sat
isfied was Mr. Kreiss that ho began to
search the straw for the fugitive. Be
fore he had been long on the pile he
heard someone say “You’ve got the
wrong man. I’m not the man.” At
first the voice somewhat startled the
valliant pursuer hut soon be was down
iu the straw grappling with the negro
After a hard struggle the negro finally
gave up and was led off to an adjacent
house in which the officers wished to
escape the rain. During their stay
here they held constant conversation
with the negro and little by little he
implicated himself in the terrible deed
for which he must sooner or later pay
the penalty.
11 is confession was about as follows:
“He and another negro from Butts
county met a white man at Defoor s
Ferry on Thursday last and that they
then laid the plan and remained in the
neighborhood until Friday e\cuing,
when, whilst the old couple were out
milking, the white man went in the
house and up stairs and secreted him
self until old man Defoor and his wife
were asleep, when he came down and
opened the back door and let the two
negro men in. They then went to the
blacksmith shop and procured a ham
mer. Afterwards he went across the
street and g>t the axe with which the
deed was done. He held the lamp, the
other negro watched at the door, and
the white man did the cutting. After
their bloody work had been completed
they went through the chest, trunks,
etc., and got “lots of money.’’ The
next morning they were settling down
and had just begun a division of the
money, when the dogs which had been
put on them by the officers broke in
aud they separated. Since that time
he has not seen either of the other par
ties, although he gave Capt. Starnes a
very accurate description of both.
Asa Morgan, as he calls himself, is a
burly-looking negro of about 5 feet 6
inches, and will weigh about 180 pounds.
He is of a ginger-bread color and a
powerfully built negro. His chest is
broad an l full, and when seen causes
almost a fear to creep unsuspecting
creep over the observer.
Thus, through the efficiency of At
lanta’s police force, one of the perpe
trators of one of the foulest crimes that
ever darkened any country is now safe
in jail. To Captain Starnes the State
of Georgia will ever be indebted for
his faithful work in the Defoor murder
case.— Atlanta Post.
A Fatal Hutting Mateli.
A special of the Chicago Times from
Greenville, N. C., July 22, says: “One
of the most novel contests known to the
sporting world took place here to-day
With a desire to overdo the white peo
ple the negroes arranged a butting
match for the purse of $ 150 and the
champion cap. The enlries were Charl
es Burlington and Bob Brooks, two
powerfully built negro men of about
twenty-four year. The butting took
place in a largo lot on the outskirts of
the town, and was witnessed by sever
al hundred people. The contest open
ed at 11 o’clock, and continued with
unabated fury for two hours. At the
start Burlington was the favorite, and
loudly cheered by the crowd, but he
soon began to show signs of fagging,
and after the first ffour failed to come
to time, and he hadtobeaccurdeda hr ef
respite for rest and breath. As soon
as the novel contest was renewed
Brooks’ remarkable powers of endu
rance aud thick skull began to fell on
his antagonist. A few minutes before
the close of the conlest Burlington fell
down from exhaustion, and had to be
carried out of the ring, and medical at
tendance summoned. lie was terribly
bruised and butted about the cranium
aud face, and died a few hours aUer
leaving the field. Brooks got the
purse, and will, no doubt, be arrested
and get a good term of imprisonment
in the State prison for manslughter.
A Girl Cbased by a Bear
Lucy Kirkham, aged eleven years, of
Brooklyn, N. Y., hut spending the
summer with her uncle near Porter’s
Lake, Pike county, had a very narrow
escape from being killed by a bear one
day last week. Miss Kirkham was
driving her uncle’s cows out into the
woods to pasture, and as she was about
to ’•eturn home she heard a noise in the
thicket. She stopped, and looking in
the direction of the noise, her eyes be
held a large black bear coming toward
her. She uttered a scream aud started
to run. Bruin gained on her, and see
ing no chance of escape, the terrified
girl climed a small sapling, which, ow
ing to the small circuinferepce* the
bear was unable to ascend. The girl
screamed at the top of her voice, while
the animal remained at the foot of the
tree, growling and clawing. The cries
of the girl were heard by two hunters
who were passing near by, who came to
her rescue. When within shooting dis
tance both loaded their guns and at a
given word fired. The bear fell dead.
The hunters then hade the frightened
girl to come down from the tree, and
then accompanied her home. The hear
weighed two hundred and ten pounds.

THE FIRST GEORGIA BALE.
Mr. Primus Jones of Baker
Again Ahead.
[Albany News, July 31.]
Yesterday afternoon Mr Primus
Jones, of Baker, sent his wagon into
Albany with a bale of new cotton
bound for Messrs. N. & A. F. Tift &
Co’s warehouse. The auction bell was
sounded, the crowd gathered, the bid
ding was exciting, and Maj. W ilder,
tin? auctioneer, at last knocked it down
to Mr. Jacob Lorch at 20}c. Lager
flowed freely, and the hoys all felt rich.
The cotton was classed low middling
and weighed 430 lbs. Hurrah for
Albany! She paid a good deal more
for the first bale than New York did!
The first bale of last year was
brought in by Mr. Jones on the 25th
of July, weighed 4G5 pounds, was
classed as low middling, and sold to
Jacob Lorch at 18 cents.

The Burrotigu Murder.
Sometime ago a Mr. Burrough, who
was marshall qf Kingston, Ga. killed
two men named Morris, at a Sunday
School pick nic held at that place. Bur
rough was tried, last week, and wo give
his statement which corresponds pretty
closely with the evidence. At this
writing we have not heard what the
verdict was:
IIIS STATES! EMt.
On the 23d of May last a picnic ex
cursion went from Acworth to Kingston.
The Morris brothers were on the train.
When the train reached Kingston
Thompson Morris jumped off. His at
tention was directed to him by his mak
ing some remark in a loud tone. The
crowd was called to order by someone
standing near. After the crowd had
gone to the picnic grounds Thompson
Morris and Mr. Norris went to Rai-
Dey’s bar-room. After remaining there
a short while they went to Mrs. Smith’s
and aftewards returned to Rainey’s.—
They remained at the bar several min
utes, and then started, back to the
Smiths. While they were walking
along, I saw Thompson Morris take a
pistol from behind him and fire it off.
When they had reached Smith’s, I went
there, accompanied by Stubbs and one
or two others, and told him that he had
fired off a pistol and in doing so lie had
violated a city ordinance, and was sub
ject to a dollar fine. lie told me that
he had not fired a pistol. We argued
the point at some length, and in refus
ing to go with me, stated that the whole
town could not make him. Thompson
Morris afterward paid the fine. He
had seventy-five cents and asked me if
that amount would do. I told him no,
and stated further that if lie did not
pay the whole amount I would have to
carry him before the council chamber.
Mr. Winn afterward came up and gave
h : tn a dime. Also another man, who
I think was Joseph Morris, came up
and made up the full amount. As
soon as he paid the money he said,
“I did fire the p ; stol, but I want you
to know that you did not scare the
money out of me. He also told me
that he had been to Marietta and had
cleaned up the town. Deceased pull
ed out a pistol and said, “this is the
one that 1 dirtkl. It is a good one
and a damned good one, and 1 shot
it off to see ifit. was all tight. Stubbs,
and I afterwards returned to the de
pot. Behind us came Reed and
Wynn, and behind them came Thomp
son Morris and Dock Norris. When
I got to the depot I heard Thompson
Morris say, “where is the mayor?”
Reed said, “There he goes.” Morris
then spoke to me, saying, “You are
the marshal; Call the mayor.” I told
him that I would not do so. Tie then
said, “Well, I’nt going to have my
mony back.” I told him that “I reckon
not. ” He repeated his threat and put I
his hand on me. I pushed him off,
and as 1 did so Joseph Morris came
up and said, “My friend, that is my
brother, and I want you to under
stand that there are two of us here.”
Thompson Morris then slapped me
in the face, and afterwards struck me
again in a similar way. \\ hen he
struck me the second time 1 stepped
backward and got my foot in a hole.
[ then attempted to raise my stick,
and as I did so Thompson Morris
drew his pistol and fired. As he
started to draw his pistol I made for
mine, and found it was hung in my
pocket. While trying to get it out,
the ball from his pistol must have
gone over my shoulder. YV hen I did
get my pistol out and attempt to fire
it, the weapon hung fire. Thompson
fired first, and I second. IV hen we
had fired two shots each, Joseph Mor
ris advanced with a knife. Thompson
Morris said to his brother, “my amu
nition is ail our, kill him with rocks.”
I ran and they both fo'lowed me,
throwing rocks. As I ran I kept fir
ing at both of them. 1 went behind
the Couch house, and when I came
back my brother accompanied mo.
As I came from the rear of the Couch
house I was told chat both of the
Morrises had gone down. I proposed
to my brother to go bv and sec how
they were. We went anil looked at
them. When I realized the fact that
I had killed both of them, I went to
Cartersville and gave myself up to
Sheriff Kennedy, who was at the jail
He locked me up, and I have been
there ever since. I could say more,
but what I have said are ill of the
material points in the case.
The prisoner made his statement
in a cool and calculating manner, and
it is thought that it had considerable
effect with the jury, who listened at
tentively to the statement from be
ginning to end. There will be three
speeches on each side. Upon the
part of the defense Amos T. Akerman,
T. W. Milngr, and W. IT. Dabney
will make the argument, and for the
state Mr. K. Stansell, W. T. Wofford
and Wm. Phillips. Oolonrl Akerman
opened, and the others will argue al
ternately in the order named. The
ease will probably go to the jury to
morrow afternoon. The general im
pression prevails that the jury is one
of the most conscientious ever impan
eled iu Bartow county.

Texan Mamfestitsition oi'Frieml
sliip.
[Virginia (Nev.) Chronicle.]
A friend gives us the following little
anecdote is illustrative of the neigh
borly love of the people of Texrs: He
and a Texan, who Was contemplating
the purchase of a ranehe sonie when? in
Truekee Meadows, were out on horse
back looking at the farms and cattle
ranges along the river. As they leis
urely followed the ineandermgs of the
’stream they presently saw two lur.se
men on the opposite bank. As the two
parties approached each other the Tex
an with our friend recognized in one of
the men on the opposite bank of the riv
er an old friend and a man who was
one of his nearest neighbors at home.
The two men hailed each other from the
opposite banks of the stream and ex
changing gr< e ings many friendly ques
tions were put and answered. The men
were evidently delighted to meet each
other and their only fegret appeared to
be that they encountered one another in
a place where it was impossible for
them to clasp and shake hands, the riv
er not being fordable on account of its
swiftness and the rocky and treacher
ous nature of its channel, while the
nearest bridge was five' miles above. —
Both men lamented these unfoitunate
circumstances very much, but at length
a way of getting over the difficulty sug
gested itself to the drover, whose pet
name was ‘Broncho Bill.’
“I say, Sam ! cried Broncho, it’s a
little rough for old friends and neigh
bors to meet away out hers thousands
of miles from home, and then have to
part in this way. Got yer pistol with
ye ?”
“I hevl” cried Sam, “I altera carry
her!”
“Good ! That’s some comfort; cf we
can't get across this stream to shake
hands, why thar’s nothin’ to prevent us
from takin’ a shot a* each other .list
ride up to yer left thar a rod or twot
Now, then, jist one good old neighbor
ly, home shot.”
The men rode aside, and bang! bang 1
went their pistols
“Yer smashed the pommel of my
saddle,” cried Broncho; “yer see the
cussed horse shied a little jist as yer
turned loose, or yer might a plumped
me good.
“You done better, Bill; you got in
to the flosh of my left arm ’bout half
an inch. Good morning to yoa, a safe
journey to yer, and tell the folks at
home we met and had a good sociable
time together.”
“Thank yer, an’ the sime to you—
bet I'll give ’em a good account of
you.”
Sam then turned to oUr friend and
with tears in his eyes slid: “God bless
him! It is a great comfort to meet an
old frieid and neighbor like him away
out here in this wilderness place. A
kinder, more accommodative and agree
able gentleman never lived. I wou'd

Overcome with heat and fatigue, men,
w’omen and children sleep closely hud

told that the hour of their liberation is
near at hand. A fresh train has been
made up, and they pass out to the trans

stead of waiting for trains to carry them
thither, they go out by every conceiva

been forced to come out of the trains
only to find that they have beeu de

by the interference of a strong guard.

The frequent recurrence of crimes of
this kind are alarming indeed. No e im
munity is secure. It should meet with
stern and summary vengeance. For or
dinary crimes we have not, and do not,
countenance violence; but in cases of
this kind, where the guilt of the ac
cused is clearly* confessedly admitted,
let there be no hestadon, but with firm
steady hands, consign him to an igno
mious death at theh mdi of an o ltiaged
community fn m the firs limb. Tnus
will this crime be prevented and society
protected —Special Dispatch to the
Constitution.
Dalton, July 31.—The coroner is
sued warrants for the arrest of the mur
derers of the Mormon and placed them
in the hands of the sheriif, who made a
fruitless attempt to arrest, he being
unable to find an" of the party, they
having crossed the line into Tennessee.
It is minored here that the murderers
have secured attorneys and will appear
at court and stand trial, hut prefer lay
ing out to going to jail. This rumor
finds but little credence, however. The
murd r is beleived to have beeu a cold
aud premeditated one, no cause bavii
been given other than that the Morrno
had nude some converts and creat a
some disturbance in families in the
neighborhood. No further steps hava
beeu taken into tlu matter.
