A certain body of men styling
themselves the Typographical Un
ion No. 41, has oflicially notified
the publishers of the Augusta Phct-
n i x that unless they complied with
certain premptory demands for a
change in the manner of conducting
their private business this fastidious
association would “use all honor
able means to drive the PhcAnix
from existence.” The reply of the
publishers is dignified, hut firm,
mill amounts to saying to the union,
»do your worst.” Wo oppose just
such arbitrary action as this on gen
eral principle, and the first attempt
these conspirators make to carry
their threat into execution, they
will doubtless ho taught that the
“honorable” law will protect the le
gitimate and lawful buisness of any
citizen. We commend the publish
ers of the Phienix for the dignified
stand they have taken.
Some months ago the Port Ttoyal
Railroad Company made an attempt
to pass through the city of Augusta
and connect with the Georgia sys
tem of roads on the opposite side of
the city. The company was stop
ped by the city authorities, and the
matter was taken Into the courts.—
Judge Itoney decided in favor of
the railroad company. The city
council was not satisfied with the
decision, and excepted and carried
the case before the supreme court,
and a few days ago obtained a re
versal of the decision of the court
below. It is not to argue the legal
ity or illegality of either of these de
cisions, hut applying the principles
laid down by St. Paul, to remark
that many things wKicli arc lawful
are not expedient. We have otten
heard the merchants of Augusta
complain that the railroads dis-
criminted against that city.—
Have they not discriminated
against themselves through their
municipal authorities, or forced a
disposition on the part of the rail
roads to do so? We believe that
Augusta is the only city in the state
which has made such refusal, and
she being our favorite among them
all, it is with regret that we see her
make such an egregious blunder.
The reform ax is falling with a
steady “whack” in the departments
at Washington, and at every stroke
a dozen official heads roll into the
basket. Beginning with the presi
dent, he is thining the employes
down “to a stand.” Secretaries
Manning and Lamar are getting in
their work bravely, and have al
lowed nearly half the number of
clerks heretofore employed in their
departments to gladden the hearts
of their relatives and friends by
going home “to stay.” By this ac
tion of these secretaries alone a
saving of $10,000 per annum is made
to the government. But besides
tills clearing of “the under brush” in
their departments, these secretaries
Rave ordered the long train of car
riages, hacks, etc., and horses with
which “the dudes” of their de
partments have been furnished at
the public expense to he sold, and
the money turned over to the treas
ury, and the drivers discharged.—
’This is another big saving to the
government. When Attorney-Gen
eral Garland entered to tuke posses
sion of ins office, lie found it filled
with “many a quaint and curious”
gewgaw, such as flaming wall-pa
per, fine pictures, flashing’screones,
etc, all very ornamental, hut of no
earthly use to an attorney-general,
and to purchase which the govern
ment had made a large appropria
tion. Attorney-General Garland
could find no employment for all
this bric-a-brac, and will, there
fore have it transported to the loft.
This lias the appearance of solid,
real reform, and the good example
set will doubtless ho followed by
the heads of the other departments,
and if adopted throughout the on-
tire administration of the govern
ment it will save millions of the
^ people’s‘money, which have for the
past eighteen years been squander
ed by the profligate party which has
had possession of the government.
As we have before said, if the mass
es of tho pooplo could know but half
the corruption and profligacy which
lias been practiced in the adminis
tration of the government they
would be uatonished, astonishment
would give way to amazement,
amazement to indignation, when
they would rise as one man and
hurl the capital Into the Potomac,
and lynch the dishonest officers
who have for so long a time robbed
them of their hard earnings. But
these men are goverment officers,
and would feel “hurt” at the appli
cation to them of tho term “thief.”
Let the good work go on. The
internal revenue department Is a
grove which needs tho pruning-
knife with an unsparing hand. It
comprises all that Is mean and dis
honest in the catalogue of men’s
crimes, and deserves tho curly at
tention of aa honest Democratic
tulmlnistrntlon.
Tho Tox»» Salt IjiVo, I,a Nal del Key.
This remarkable salt lake, which
has attained a wide-spread celebri
ty, is situated in the county of Hi
dalgo, Texas, about forty miles north
from Edinburgh, the county seat,
which fronts the old Mexican town
of Reynoso, on tho opposite side of
the Rio Grande del Norte, anti about
seventy miles northwest from
Brownsville. Its geographical po
sition, as shown on the maps, is
about 2t5 degrees and 32 minutes
north latitude, and 98 degrees and
4 minutes west longitude. It lies in
the broad prairie that stretches from
the Rio Grande on the soutli to the
Nueces on the north and tho Gulf
of Mexico on the east, hut is imme
diately surrounded by a wide fringe
of dense thickets, composed of
guisaehe, ebony, mesquite, and other
different varieties of trees indigen
ous to the country. It is embraced
within the limits of a tract of seven
ty-one leagues of land, originally
known as “La Noria de Snn Salva
dor del Tule,” claimed to have been
granted by the government of Spain,
about the year 1798, to one Juan
Jose Balli.
It is in form an ellipse, about one
mile in length and five miles In its
circumference. Its depth nowhere
exceeds three or four feet, and its
lied consists of pure rook crystal
salt. The water is a brine of unusu
al strength, which crystallizes with
such rapidity that no matter how
large a quantity of salt is removed
from the bed of the lake one day, its
place will he found filled with salt
of a similar quality the next. This
indicates that the supply of salt is
practically inexhaustible, while in
purity it ranks with the best rock
suit productions of this continent or
of Europe, being composed of 5)9.-
0897 parts chloride of sodium, or
pure salt.
An analysis of it, made in 18(50 by
Dr. Riddle, then Assaycr at the Mint
in New Orleans, gave tho following
result:
Mutter Insoluble 0*0108
Sulph. magnesia trace
Chloride sodium 99-0807
All salt is more or less mixed with
impurities, the only known excep
tion being the product of the Wie
liezka mine, in Poland, which is one
hundred parts pure chloride of so
dium, or salt. The best salt is pure
rock salt, in which class that of Wie-
liczka stands at tlie head; hiit
general commerce it is practically
unknown, in consequence of its re
mote inland location. It has, never
theless, for centuries been the source
of a princely revenue.to its proprie
tors, and often constituted the dower
of royal brides.
In this country there are only
three sources for the supply of rock
salt, viz., Holston, Va., the Petite
Anse, La., and La Sal del Rey, Tex.
La Sal del Rey and its surround
ings have never been geologically
examined or explored. The indica
tions are that the powerful brine,
which crystallizes into rock salt in
its bed, is merely an exudation from
an adjacent mine of rock salt, equal,
perhaps, In purity to that of Wie-
Hezka, the slight percentage of im
purities it contains being probably
acquired by the brine While perco
lating through adjoining strata.
A Singular Story from Hartwell.
Tho Athens, On., Banner.
After the surrender of the confed
erate armies and the treaty had
been signed, a company of U. S.
troops passed through Franklin and
Hart counties, robbing the people
and destroying their property. They
were guilty of tho most outrageous
acts of lawlessness, hut as the men
lmd not returned from the war, there
were no one to offer resistance.
When they arrived in Hartwell,
several gentlemen were sitting upon
a piazza in front of a store, among
the number Dr. Webb. The latter,
being no longer able to quietly wit
ness the acts of these vandals, start
ed across tlie public square for his
home. A union soldier noting the
movement, rode up on his horse and
demanded his surrender. In com
plying with the request, Dr. Webb,
unconsciously, threw one of his
hands toward a breast pocket, that
the Yankee evidently interpreted
as an attempt to draw a pistol, and
placing the muzzle of his gun with
in a few feet of Dr. Webb’s breast
fired. Tho ball pierced his heart
and the victim died without a groan,
his life-blood staining the sand in
the middle of the street where lie
fell. The spot is in one of the most
prominent thoroughfares of Hart
well, and nothing but a sandbank,
yet there at once sprang up a luxu
riant growtli of grass, exactly cover-
the area dyed by the blood of
Dr. Webb, and to this day it is seen.
Hundreds of vehicles and feet press
down the patcli daily, hut it con
tinues to flourish and remain ver
dant, despite the barrenness of the
sands. We were pointed out this
spot while in that town last Tues
day, and the story is vouched for by
several of the most truthful citizens
of tho place. They are unable to
account for this little oasis in the
midst of desert sands. After the
assassination of Dr. Wehh tho sol
diers were fired upon by a posse in
the country, and returning tho same
wounded a woman who still carries
the ball imbedded in her flesh. For
weeks a single Yankee remained in
the county, robbing the helpless wo
men and children at pleasure, but
lie finally mysteriously disappeared,
and it is an old legend that his
worthless carcass was used to bait a
fish-hole by some indignant citizen
A Cot of Uoltl.
Double Tragedy In Virginia.
News of a frightful tragedy has
just been received from Wise coun
ty, Virginia. In the neighborhood
of Bond’s mills the Hentons, Mitch
ells and Reynoldses were the lead
ing families, and Martha Reynolds
was the belle of the wholo region.
She had many suitors, the most fa
vored of whom were Charles Hen-
top and Bud Mitchell. Not certain
which she loved best, she engaged
herself to both. Henton became
aware of the fact, and persuaded the
girl to elope with him. They left
the neighborhood, were quietly mar
ried, and returned to tho home of
the bride’s parents on Saturday,
February 28th. That night the wed
ding was celebrated with a dance.
Mitchell was present, and under the
influence of liquor, bocamo noisy
and insulting. He berated the hrido
for her fickleness, and even slapped
hor. Her husband, hearing of it,
ran across tho room and gave Mitch
ell a beating, and was only prevent
ed from killing hint by his friends.
Mitchell left vowing vengeance.
On Sundav night Henton and ids
wife attended a prayer meeting at
a neighboring church, going homo
by a short cut. Mitchell was not
seen by any one. As Henton and
Ids wife failed to put In an appear
ance, search was made on Monday,
and their bodies, disfigured almost
beyond recognition, wore discover
ed in a lonely spot In the path they
wore following. The woman’s head
was nearly severed from her hotly.
Henton had been shot in tho breast,
and afterward tho assassin had
pounded his heud to a jelly with a
stone. Mitchell is missing.

The Home, Ga., Curler.
We were informed aesterday that
Mr. John Byrd, in his gardening ex
plorations at the old Attaway place,
on Bridge street, now owned by
Mrs. Shropshire, had dug up a pot
containing a lot of gold coins.
Never believing what we hear,
we “dug” for the root of the rumor,
but could only ascertain the follow
ing facts from Uncle Joe Wardlaw*
to-wit:
“I know that John Byrd has un
earthed a pot of money. Ho dug it
up several days ago. I tried to learn
from him how much there was in
the pot, hut lie was non-committal,
and would only say that the find was
not less than $12,000, and was all of
it in solid gold currency. I believe
myself that the find was much lar
ger than $12,000, hut Byrd will not
say how much.”
There were many a thousand dol
lars of good money buried in this
section of Georgia during the war,
and it would not he at all strange if
Mr. Byrd had stumbled on at least
one section of it.
At any rate, we have full authori
ty to hope that lie and others who
drop into such good luck as to find
where it is hidden will huve the
grace to come by and say, u Coitriert
have a slice.”
Senator I.amar.
Washington, March 13.—Editors
Constitution: I send you the report
of a short talk with Senator Lamar
“Many years,” said the senator,
“have passed since I saw the old
home, in Putnam, but the dear old
house standing on the hill of the
Old Red Road’ to your right as you
approach from the river, nearly hid
from your view by the grand oaks
around it, is rooted in my memory
as firm and as deep as those ‘Old
Oaks’ are in mother earth. The or
chard, the green fields immediately
beyond, tho little branch In tho
“bottom” the high hills, the deep
gulfs breaking into their sides, the
old “stage stand,” the old stage, the"
four horses, the great big driver,
long whip and all, I remember as if
we had parted only yesterday.”
“The first deatli in our family, con
tinued Mr. Lamar, “occurred in that
house. The tuneral services were
held in the front room to your left
as you enter. Though only eight
years old, I deeply felt the solemni
ty of the occasion, and when time
was called, fell into tho front rank
of the mourners. Nothing particu
larly impressed me at the time ex
cept the singing of the old familiar
lines:
“Sweet Hekla beyond the swelling Hood
Stand dressed In living green,
So to the Jews, Old Canaan stood
While Jordan rolled between."
“I was looking out of the window
as the hymn was being sung over
my grandfather’s green fields.
Old Canaan, a faithful servant be
longing to my grandfather, a full
blooded African, and a great “stand
by” with all of us was near me,
Over the view, a few miles from us,
some Jews had just settled and built
a store, which fact created a vast
amount of talk on the part of the
neighbors who occasionally visited
my grandfather and much anxiety
and solicitude on my part for tho
safety of our family.
“My very youthful mind, after
rolling between the green fields, the
Canaan, the Sordan, and the Jews
of the good hymn and the green
fields of my grandfather’s, the Old
Canaan the faithful servant, the
Jews over the river whom I greatly
feared, in some way, would harm
us, and the river between us and the
Jews, settled on these last as the
green fields, Canaan, Jordan, and
Jews recorded in the hymn. The
old home is the dearest spot on
earth to me, said Mr. Lamar, and if
I ever make money enough to buy
it I shall go hack there and rest un
til the end.” M. J.
Kidnapping an llelr.
Cleveland, O., March 12.—The
detectives in this city are engaged
in a search for Mrs. Minnie Peck,
who is charged with kidnapping
her 9-year old son from his legal
guardian, Mrs. Dr. Merrick. Two
of the detectives are row in New
York, where Mrs. Peck’s husband is
employed. There are indications
that the mother went to Canada.
Mrs. Peck was formerly Minnie
Goodman, lier father being a man
of means and a manufacturer of or
gans. She was secretly married, 10
years ago, to Elmer Cobh, son oi the
late Ahira Cobb, a millionaire ship
owner. The couple soon separated
after their marriage, and subse
quently Mrs. Cobh became a moth
er. The child was taken from her
by Mrs. Goodman, her mother, and
placed in charge of Mrs. Dr. Merrick,
who attended at its birth. Four
years ago Elmer Cobb committed
suicide at his home, on Euclid ave
nue, and the following year his wife,
who had not been divorced, married
Peck, a sewing machine maker.
Two years ago Alura Cobb died,
leaving an estate of $0,000,000 and
three children. At this juncture
Mrs. Dr. Merrick produced her ward,
Julius Kingsley Cobh, in court and
established liis identity, although
his existence or the fact of the mar
riage was unknown to the other
heirs. The Probate Court appointed
Mrs. Merrick guardian ol the hoy’s
estates.
Mrs. Peck sought by a writ of ha-
bean corpus to gain possession of the
infant, hut failed. Last Monday she
returned to Cleveland, and on Tues
day went to Mrs. Merrick’s house
and obtained permission to take the
child to the theatre. She lias not
been seen since, although she and
the child have been traced, to Buf
falo,
VnlunMo Find.
Dr. Ayers, while walking along
the hank of the lacking river, about
ten miles south of Mount Vernon,
one day last January, observed a
bright stone lying on tho ground.
A few weeks Inter he presented it
to a Jeweler for examination. The
jeweler pronounced it a diamond,
whereupon the doctor took ids prize
to New York, where it was pro
nounced genuine and the largest
ever found in the United States.
The stone weighed forty-two karats
in the rough. l)r. Ayres refused an
offer of $(5,000 for it, being confident
it was much more valuable.

ALrmptcd Murder.
Valdosta Nows.
Mr. F. B. Carter, while on Ills way
to Cranford’s turpentine still last
Thursday night, was shot at by
some unknown party. He was rid
ing along when suddenly some one
rose up from behind the fence and
tired at him, but the mule shied off
just as the pistol fired and the ball
took effect in the mule’s head, Just
between the eyes. Tho mule fell
and Mr. Carter Jumped off. Just as
lie struck the ground the would-be
assassin rushed up and cut at him
with a knife. Having on a very
thick coat tho rascal only succeeded
in making an ugly cut across tho
breast of it. Mr. Carter struggled
to his feet and, being unarmed, took
to his hoels, ills assailant right bu-
hiud slashing at him with ills knife.
Ho only succeeded In ruining Mr.
Carter’s coat Being a pretty good
runner, Mr. Carter soon left his as
sailant behind. Ho ran up to a ne
gro house near by and, getting some
assistance, returned to whero Ids
mule fell. When lie reached the
place lie found that tho mule had
risen to his feet and departed for
home. It was easy to track him by
the blood on the ground. The niulo
was still alive on Monday.
Death In Jail.
David Glenn, of Haralson county,
aged 19, charged with illicit whisky
distilling, died in the Atlanta jail
Monday. His death is thus describ
ed: His imprisonment soon began
to tell upon him and about two
weeks ago lie contracted the measles.
At first his illness was not severe,
hut about the middle of last week
the disease took an alarming turn,
and tlie unfortunate young man con
tinued to grow worse until 4 o’clock
Sunday morning, when lie died, liis
death was witnessed by a half dozen
prisoners who, like himself, was de
prived of tlie presence of relatives
and friends. The scene, us the young
man’s life went out, was touching.
Lying upon a pallet on a prison
floor, surrounded by a half dozen
men, was the dying man. His parch
ed lips, red, sunken eyes and groans
awoke a feeling of the deepest pity
in the watchers’ heart, hut they
were unable to sooth his fears. His
calls for his mother, far away in the
mountain home, dreaming of her
hoy, were unanswered. His death
was a relief to those present, for on
ly after death did lie cease to call
loudly and piteously for those at
home. Early yesterday morning
Glenn’s parents wero notified of his
death. They at once instructed tlie
Jail officials to bury tho body in At
lanta.
A Terrible Suicide In (Inlnnelt.
Norcross, Ga., March 10.—A ter
rible suicide occurred in this
county, a short distance from here,
yesterday morning. About eight
miles from Norcross resided a far
mer named Miner, a respectable,
well to-do citizen, who owned his
place and had a beautiful wife and
five interesting children. Saturday
he visited with liis family at the
house of a relative, Mr. John D.
Steele, near Chanibler’s mill. They
spent the night there, and tlie visit
was in everyway a pleasant one.—
About 4 o’clock yesterday morning
Mrs. Miner called her husband, and
asked him to give one of the chil
dren a drink of water. That Mr.
Miner did, and remarked as lie did
so:
“I don’t feel very well.”
As ho carried tho dipper to its
place, Mrs. Miner heard a gun fire,
sprung out of bed, found her hus
band dead in a pool of his own
blood. Beside him lay Mr. Steel’s
shotgun with a barrel emty, the load
having completely shot tho top <f
Mr. Miner’s head off. It is supposed
th it lie got the gun and, in a mo
ment of temporary aheration of
mind, shot himself, using ids toes to
spring the trigger. No threat of
s licide had been made, and nothing
had occurred to foreshadow the des
perate net. The wife and children
frantic with grief. The remains
were interred to-day. Mr. Miner
was about forty years of age and
was well known in this scet'on,

Valdosta,Ga., March If).—-About
10 o’clock last night, a mulatto,
named Jim Carroway, bad an alter
cation on our back streets with an
other negro. Policeman Collins
and Belote ordered them to he qui
et, when Carroway told them with
an oath, that he was a free man and
would do as be pleased. Policeman
Collins, taking bold of him, again
ordered him to be quiet, or, said tho
policeman, lie would go to tlie bar
racks, when Carroway drew back
and made two cuts at Policeman
Collins with a razor, cutting ids
clothes across the breast. Po
liceman Belote attempted to take
liis razor away, when Carroway cut
him across the band several times,
and broke away. Tlie policemen
followed him, and fired two shots
without effect. When ho ran by
the railroad warehouse, watchman
Esho followed him about a quarter
ofa mile, when he also lost sight of
him. This morning Hheriff Harrell
and Watchman Eshe went out 18
miles to where Carroway lived to
arrest him. They found him dead
at Mr. Jerre B. Jones’ plantation, 18
miles from here. A posse of throe
proceeded Messrs. Harrell and
Eshe. It is not known who did the
shooting. Carroway was consider
ed a desperate character. The j o-
llco have frequently been resisted
by such characters of late. It is
Haul that there is considerable ex
citement among tlie colored people
whero Carroway was shot-
