Mrs. Luf- karrow was a Miss Wray, of Augusta, Ga., mA was married in that city in 1S49, where she had many friends. She was a JfcUy of most estimable qualities, and was dearly be’oved in a large circle of friends and acquaintances, many of whom have occasion to remember her experienced care and attention in sickness, for truly foe was a “ministering angel.” She was fa her fiftieth year, and leaves a husband, Ifim daughters and two sons to mourn Aac irreparable loss.

The fire was under such headway that tiro de partment, slow in its work, was useless. A few of Vigilant’s prizes and some sil ver ware in Uie upper story were saved, but with this exception the house, steam er, reel, hose, fixtures, furniture of the hall and ornaments all went up or down in the smoke and embers in sight of the fire brigade and a multitude of specta tors. The fire was bursting from the building before discovered, and hence all assistance was useless. The only possible causes of the fire are incendiary or spon taneous combustion. The latter theory is tenable under the circumstances and most probably the cause, for around an engine house is always a quantity of oiled waste and wood soaked with kerosene, etc. This with favorable damp conditions is liable to spontaneous combustion. The loss to the city aud company will be from SO,000 to $10,000, for the steamer alone was worth between $3,000 and $1,000. It had recently been renovated and was as r as new, and the pet of the hoys of 3. The question now comes np, should engine houses and fire engines be insured? Waychoss Reporter: Chickens and eggs are so scarce that it seems quite re freshing when a load of this kind of pro duce makes its appearance on the streets. Constant communication is now being had between this point and the St. Mary’s river, making it almost as good as a regu lar hack line. Savannah News: George Boberts, whose arrest in Charleston among a force of men who had just arrived from .Vir ginia, en route to work on the Waycross railroad has been noticed, was, as it ap pears, a victim of the dimo novel. He was arrested at the instance of his parents, and is satisfied with his experience. Quitman Free Press: The finest sam ple of rice we have seen was left in our office by Mr. Jordon one day this week. It proves that we can raise a3 fine rice in Brooks a3 can be produced in the world. Feom the Neics we learn that one hun dred and sixty hales of cotton in the warehouse of \V. W. Gordon & Co. were burned, witn a loss to the underwriters of $3,500. The warehouse force were work ing upon Sunday, it being imperative that a certain line of cotton be put out for shipment before Monday morning. It is fortunato that the bale containing fire was consumed before it was loaded on ship board. It took the fire department nearly all day to extinguish the flames. Says he News: The cotton from which this order was being filled was in the warehouse yard, in lines extending from the office (a small frame building) to nearly midway the length of the yard, while the space to the west of the office was covered with bales single deep. One of the clerks had just marked and checked a bale, and the col ored baud had pulled it on his track, and was abont wheeling it off to its proper place, when flames suddenly burst from it, and a strong wind blowing at the time, the bales in proximity were ignited. In a few seconds it seemed as though the en tire lot of cotton was on fire, and the smoke was so strong that the men had to flee to avoid suffocation. The bale in which the fire broke out was close to the office, and a clerk at the extremity of the yard seeing this, and recollecting that the cotton kooks were in the office, and fearful that they might be destroyed, made a dash for the office with a view to secure them. Some idea of the rapidity with which the fire spread may be inferred when it is stated that this clerk, although he ran forward immedi ately he perceived the smoke, had to liter ally fight his way between the lines of bales through smoke and fire to reach the office door. The books were secured and removed. An alarm of fire was then turned in from Station No. 35, corner of Farm and Joachim streets, which was promptly responded to by the fire depart ment. When they reached the ground the fire was spreading rapidly, and apprehen sions were felt that it would extend to the brick warehouse (the old foundry), in which was stored a large quantity of cot ton, though meanwhile the clerks and col ored hands had been working energeti- icallv, and had succeeded in getting away a number of bales which were in proxim ity to the fire. In the same city, Sunday, Bishop Gross, with imposing ceremonies, unveiled and blessed the new pulpit in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Perpetual Help. Says the Monroe Advertiser: It will he remembered that Bill Lemon, !ke notori ous negro desperado, who was convicted of burglarizing Mr. Wiley Fleming’s house last winter, escaped jail immediately after the spring term of court by knocking down Deputy SheriffKing with a piece of iron, ne had made violent threats of killing all who had engaged in prosecuting him, and the neighborhood of Mr. Fleming's was in a state of terror for a short time. He conld be heard of in different sections and some fruitless attempts were made to cap ture him. On Tuesday night of last week Mr. Pomp Yancey, of Butts county, came up with him near Henderson’s mill, in Newton county. He had been on track of him for several days, and when he saw him, Bill dodged behind a tree. Yancey started toward him and Bill drew a knife, when Mr. Yancey let him have the contents of one barrel of a shotgun. lie then secured him and found he had made a flesh wound in his thigh, very close to the point he aimed at, as he did not wish to kill him. Mr. Yancey and Mr. Sparks brought him to Foisyth by way of Mr. Fleming’s. Mr. Wiley Fleming had of fered a reward of $50 for the delivery of Bill to the principal keeper of the peniten tiary in Atlanta, aud lie was carried to At lanta on Thursday night to be turned over to the principal keeper of the penitentiary. Bill is one of the most desperate charac ters iu the country and would not hesitate to murder a man to carry out any scheme. Since his escape from jail he has been In various kinds of mischief and shot at an old man in Jasper county. Wc hope he is now securely confintd and will give our peaceful people no lurtker trouble. If the Supreme Court sustains the de cision of the Superior, the eleven year old negro boy who murdered Dr. Hill man's child, will be bung. Columbus Times: Mr. Loxla Edwards, of Opelika, died in that place yesterday after a long and lingering illness of can cer In the throat. For forty-three days, we learn, Mr. Edwards had gone without any nourishment whatever. Mr. Edwards was the father of Jndge Polk Edwards, and a man of noble parts. He was about eighty-two years of age, and leaves a wife and several children as well as a large cir cle of friends to mourn his death. ~ ^ Thom.vsvii.le Times: The many friends of George Massey will deeply deplore his death, which occurred on Thursday night at the old homestead in the county. He had been living for several years in Florida, but his health having failed him he returned to the old homestead, where he quietly breathed his last at the time stated. There is a remarkable coinci dence in connection with bis death. He was attended by tho same physician who was present at his birth, which occurred within a very few minutes on the same night twenty-seven years before and wit’u- in a few feet of where he was horn. He leaves a young and most devoted wife and one child to mourn his loss. To them, family and friends, we tender our sincere sympathy. - v ^ J * Gbiffin Sun: “The Griffin Sun pre sents a strange contrast of reading matter between the inside and outside. We pre fer the Utter, because there is more truth iu it, with none of the spleen and vindic tiveness of tne inside. We are glad that the eud is near,' when Brother Han- leiter can commence to mend the breaches he has made.—Teleohath and Mes- ( sengku.” We are gl&J that our esteemed contem porary of the Tei.kc. uAru and Messen ger has the good taste to prefer the elc- v&Uug and temperate or harmless apd pleasing matter of our outside make up to the political personalism that has entered into our columns during the present gu- j bematorial campaign.

No clue to the owner of the buggy and contents has as yet been had, and-up to Sundaynoon the affair was still wrapt In mystery. Lang, died on last Tuesday night, aged fifty-three years.. She was a consistent member of the church for thirty-three years. An affectionate wife,* kind moth er, a loving neighbor, and a devoted Christian has gone to rest. ^ knowledge of the fact that of our best personal friends being wounded by our issue, wo have never entered into the campaign with that vigor which usually characterizes our political battles, in fact, while we have been strong in tbe belief that our position was right and the Col quitt men wrong, our wrist never has been as supple in slinging the pencil du ring the fight as Is Its usual wont. We are tired aud disgusted with strife and politics any how, and will sell out cheap after Norwood is elected governor next Wednesday. Our politics and religion don’t inix, or at least we are not a suc cessful mixer. We deny being vindictive or spiteful. Albany Neios and Advertiser: Al bany will be the best live stock market in southwest Gcoreia again this season. Our dealers are already receiving large ship ments of horses and mules, and we notice that they are bringing out a higher grade of stock than they did last year. Espe cially is this true as to horses. Good roadsters can be bought in our market now for from $125 to $175. Mules are higher than they were last year, The fourth Senatorial convention met in Albany on Saturday to nominate candidate in place of W. L. Lane, de clined. After discussing the subject they declined to make any nomination. The Ghost show is bewildering the cit izens of Albany now. Gkiffin Sun: Last Monday night was stormy, and two distinct thunder claps shook the dwellings like the fall and ex plosion of a fifteen-inch shell thrown from a mortar. Indeed, these shocks were peculiarly like the explosion of a large shell afte’r burying itself in the ground. Milo Hamilton was accidentally shot at Cave Springs by George Scruten. They were fooling with a pistol. The wound is serious. Sells Br.os’. circus was broken up at Borne by a rain storm. There were about eight or ten thousand people under the canvass, and the seats gave way. On last Sunday the warehouse at Hal- cyondale, on the Central railroad, was burned, with fifty bales of cotton and a lot of miscellaneous freight. It was sup posed that the fire originated from sparks from the passing engine. Buiiee county is getting exercised over the whisky traffic, aud will make an effort to rid herself of it. The State University opened on yester day with quite a laige number of stu dents. Baldwin county is remarkably healthy, so says the Recorder. The estate of G. IV. J. DeKenne, late of Savannah, is estimated at $2,000,000. It is left to his wife and four children, in the hands of the “Pennsylvania Company for insurance on lives and granting annui ties,” of Philadelphia as trustees. Dick Boyt, an industrious colored truck farmer, near Savannah, was robbed by one Charles King, colored. King is now in jaii. Two men by the name of Leggett, have been arrested on suspicion of being the murderers of a Mr. Tuten In Appling county, in March last. They are now in jail in Savannah. Thebe are several acres in Talbot county that have yielded their hale of cotton, and more remains to he picked, so says the Register. We learn that Maj. B. O. Moreland, of Grantville, was thrown from his horse last Wednesday afternoon and had his right arm broken between his elbow and shoulder and otherwise injured, but is not considered in a necessarily dangerous condition. The Athena Banner thinks that Athens has tho most mageificent groves of any town in the State, if she hasn’t as maDj- fine bouses. Thebe are now 300 students at the Agricultural College in Milledgeville, and the faculty are expecting 400 by the 1st of January, 1S81. The Central train going into Atlanta, on Monday, at West “End, struck a little negro child with the cowcatcher. The child died from its injuries. In the first census district of Georgia, composed of thirty counties in the ujiper part of the State, including Fulton, the population in 1SS0 is, total, 346,921, against 252,610 in 1S70; an increase in population of 94,302. The greatest per cent, increase is in Fulton, Gwinnett, Hall, Polk and Cobb. The least death rate was in Pickens, and the highest in Dade county. The Montezuma Weekly presents its section in a sad plight. It says the Mon tezuma High School has played out for want o! patronage, aud the old academy at Spalding (ouce one of the most popular schools in the State) has died out also. The Washington Gazette has the last. A n^gro woman, 114 years old, picked eightv-seven pounds of cotton one day last week. HK Sylyania Telephone: Miss Bosie Boberts will go to lire meeting of the Wo man’s Missionary Society, to be held at Macon, as a delegate from the Sylvania branch of that organization. Milledgeville Recorder: The mys tery of the paternity of the “Convict Catechism” has been Cleared up. Mr. Sam Small (Norwood) speaking in Macon on Wednesday nigbt, admitted that he wrote a part, and'knew who wrote the balance. This settles the authorship of that unprincipled aud dangerous pam phlet. “Old Si” had better have stuck to his negro delineations. They were far more decent, if they didn’t pay as well as tbi3 last production from his pen. LumPkin Independent: We learn that Col. E. E. Beall, recently sent to the in sane asylum from here, made another at tempt to take his life this week. Captain Sam Beal, his son, received a dispatch from tbe officials announcing that he seized a razor, in the hands of the barber who was shaving him, and cut his own throat severely. Tho latest accounts rep resent him as not fatally cut and doing well considering the wound. As Norwood is defeated, Harrison, of the Montezuma Weekly is thinking about go ing into the show business. He says: Montezuma has two living curiosities, to-wit: Yidie Hunter, a genuine albino, about forty years old, and Henry Wiieyj a spotted man. Hunter is the son of per fectly black parents. Ho has all the marks of a' thoroughbred African—thick lips, fiat nose and feet, and wooly hair. He is perfectly white, white hair and pink eyes. He sees better at night than in the day tune. He was a slave, and belonged to John A. Hunter. Wiley is a man about fifty-five years old, and is as spotted as a leopard, black and white. He wa3 a slave, and belonged to Leroy Wiley, These two men, iu the bands of a side show man, would drrw better than eight footed horse. Columbus Enquirer :A few days’ago we made notice of a serious injury sus tained bv Mr. James McClung, who was thrown from a hand car on the Qolumbq£ and Borne railroad. We regret to learn that be iss still in a very critical condi tion, and yesterday morning was not do-' ing so well. Dr. Hooa, tbe president of the road, called to see him and thinks that his chances for a recovery are not very flattering. McClutigls a cleveryoung man, and a hard and faithful worker, and we regret that so serious a misfortune has befallen him. Amebicus Recorder: We regret to learn that the gin house belonging to our townsman, Col. W. A. Maxwell, on his plantation in Lee, was bnmed Sunday aft temoon with nine bales of cotton. We have not heard whether there was any insurance. This is a severe toes, and one wo are sincerely sorry to report. It la supposed to have been set on fite. Talbotton Register: Mr. R. S.

THE BRUNSWICK RAILROAD EX- TENSION. The Surveyors on Hand and Beady. Last night a TELEGBArn reporter found Major It. C. McCalla, of Tuskaloo- sa, Alabama, at the Lanier House, and approachecLhim with an inquiry as to when the contemplated survey would be gin. “I cannot tell exactly. Onr tents have not arrived,” . .. “What route will you start on ?” “Tdo not know that either. ’ Am going to look about the city in the morning to see what we can do towards getting out of here'with our road.” “Can’t you go out from the court house straight across the river? X think that is fhe route of the old Macon and Knoxville railroad survey.” “We could if they would let us run through the streets. I expect probably I shall go out on the Augusta road in the morning and look over the ronte to Clin ton. There are four routes open. One is the river route, one the ridge route, one the Covington route, and tho last through Clinton and around by Social Circle.” Here Major McCalla was called off to examine into private maps. Whether or not the extension of the Brunswick rpad will ever be built, we cannot tell, but a route for an extension will be surveyed at once. A surveying party, six or eight in number, is now in the city, and as soon as tents can be se cured, will begin its labore. It is proba ble that the route adopted will be from some point on the Augusta road, a few miles from the city, round by Social Cir cle to the Georgia railroad. We presume tho company will endeavor, If the extension is to be made to do it as cheaply as possible, aud iu adopting the line we have named the expense of bridging the river will be avoided, as well as the ex pense of several miles of tracking. Over this road, also, the problem of crossing tho Central railroad track is solved for the Brunswick railroad people, as the road to be used leads directly upon their land at the foot of 1’oplai 1 street. A Boy Hilled. Sunday morning, there occurred on the old John B. Lamar plantation, in this county, now known as the Patterson place, a tragedy by which a boy seven years of age was robbed of his life. It seems that in the house of a colored man on the place, a negro boy by the name of Mac McBride wes living, and be ing in the house Sunday morning with several children, ordered them out, say ing he wanted to dress. The children de layed going, two of them remaining in the window, when McBride raised a pis tol, saying, “If you don’t go I’ll shoot you.” Almost immediately afterwards the pistol exploded, and a little darky dropped from the window, shot through the head, and died soon after. Present in tbe room was another negro,Ben Solomon by name, who, when .the pistol was raised, said “shoothim.” McBride, as we learn from the evidence taken by the coroner, claimed from the first that tfle shooting was accidental; that he had only pointed the weapon to frighten the children out, and was not ex pecting it to fire. This is the most cheer ful view to take of the affair, but even this explanation leaves Mac liable to impris onment, it being illegal to point a weapon at anyone, and tho killing having been committed while in the performance of an ilegal act. Coroner Chapman was notified and re paired to the spot, where he summoned a jury of eleven blacks and one white, who, having heard the testimony submitted, re turned a verdict that tho deceased came to his death from a pistol in the hands of MacMcBride. McBride, after the killing, came in and gave himself np. He is now injaUL • Tbe Public Library. The .business transacted at the last monthly meeting of the directors of the Public Library showed a very satisfactory condition of the society. The librarian’s report exhibited an in crease in collection of dues and a fair av erage in the circulation of books, there having been nearly one thousand volumes issued during the month of September. The usual thatiks were returned to Miss Mary Waggenstcin for two volumes presented, to Mr. Elisha King for an In dian hatchet, and to Col. Issac Hardeman for a lot of maps. , Eighteen new memoers were enrolled as follows: Wm. J. Beeland, Jas. W. Morgan, Geo. Burdick, Lee S. Worsham, Wm. T. Mobley, Mrs. Bultie Lundy, Fred W. Cullen, Bobt. Coleman, Jr.; Mrs. H. T. Towell, Sam'l B. Merritt, Henry L. Watson, Bobt. F. Reynolds, J. C. Van Syckei. R. Hackoti, Jaa.L. Holllfield, Jno. iJ.'P. Allen, Miss Mollfe Mason, S. Popper. Two life members were added to .the roll, viz.: Col. Honry J. Lainay and Mr, IT. Skelton “Jones. As the treasurer's report showed a sound {condition of the finances, the library com mittee was authorized to make some addi tional purchases of books, aud it was de termined to erect more shelving, as acces sions are continually being made to the number of volumes. United Stairs District Court. , Tha^Clfcytt and District Courts of the United States, lor the western division of the Southern district of Georgia, met yes terday In pursuance of act of Congress creating tins new ‘district. Present, were Qabi. John Erskine, United States Judge of tfe’dfstricta of Georgia; Mr. Willard P. V^jpW,’ clerk of this and southern district; Hon. John S.

Colquitt’s Majority iu Bibb County 8S7.« ■ Yesterday morning, at an early hour,' the voters'sallied forth and began to exer cise their privileges at the polls. The prophecies, except on the part of a few, all pointed to a majority for Norwood in Bibb county, a majority variously esti mated at 100 te 1,500. By 7 o’clock a steady stream of white and colored men flowed to ward tbe court house, and began the work of putting In Colquitt votes. By two o’clock they hadron up an array that ail the combined force and talent of the op position could not overcome, althongh desperate’efforts were made and every voterin reach rung in. The heaviest Colquitt vote was polled in'the morning and the heaviest Norwood in tho afternoon. It was the quietest and most orderly election ever seen in Macon. The principal voting place was at the court house, where a dense crowd was congregated all day long. The office of Mr. Henry J-. Peter, tax collector, was packed with negroes from- morniDg until night, and it is estimated that about 400 paid their taxes, or had them paid during the day. By some of the Norwoodites it .was charged, after a defeat had been sus tained, that money had been brought to the city by Mr. Avery, “of "/dlanta, and used in the Election. - . The absurdity of this assertion is apparent,, when it is re membered that the gentleman named did not arrive from Savannah ttfitil'5 o’clock, after which hour tho colored voters were few in number. It was also said that va rious suns, running from $2,000 np to ?5,000, had been sent here by Joe Brown to carry the county. The whole truth is that the Colquitt committees raised about six hundred dol lars, which was devoted to the general ex penses, and the payment of the poll taxes of such as could not pay. This is evident when it is remembered that only four or five hundred Colquitt negroes received the tax receipts yesterday. What became of the Norwood funds, we do not know, Tho following is the result as neara3 could be obtained last night. Some of the country districts are many miles from the city, and on.y the result as between Col. quitt and Norwood was given: DISTBICTS. COLQUITT. NOBWOOD, '13 09 94 735 44 100 1,122 There are in Warrior District three hun dred and nineteen polls. Admitting that all voted for Mr. Norwood, the general result cannot be changed. A protest was entered at the city hall against the coun ting of the challenged votes,175 in number, Norwood and Colquitt combined. This will not make any appreciable difference. The fact that Colquitt carried the county remains. I - Later. At 12 o’clock last night Mr. W. H.

There will, among other attractions of the fair, be a restaurant to delight not on ly the eye, but also the inner nan, and the ladies will soon be called on to make known their contributions to it, as well as to the fancy article department.

The annual election of officers of the company, which comes off next Monday night, will but stir up more interest in the fair. To the Citizens of Bibb County. As one important duty has been dis charged, another presses upon us. The election of Governor and members of the Legislature was a common interest all over tho State, and had responsibilities of its own. We have, however, another matter, vastly more Important to Bibb county and to U3 individually. That question is, who shall preside over the varied interests of Bibb county for another term? It is with pleasure that we refer to the prosperity that reigns within our borders; but we haar it rumored that a num ber of members of tho Board of Couuty Commissioners do not desire to continue in that office, although their labors have met the approval of their con stituents. Rotation in office is a healthy political principle, and is eminently wise if properly carried out. A change often brings new energies and more vigorous activities. The successor having the ex perience and plans of the predecessor, 03 way marks, and with the difference of methods which necessarily exists, wiser and more progressive measures may be devised. Therefore, with no intention to reflect in anywise upon the honorable board whose time will soon expire, we suggest the names of the following gentle men, as worthy the support of the citisens of Bibb county, as a Board of Commis sioners, at the next county election: George S. Obear, John Ingalls, John B. Giles, W.P.Goodall, W. H. Fletcher. These gentlemen are thoroughly identi fied in tho matter of public education, and would be ready to make wise and proper provision for sustaining our public school system. They have been long residents, of our community, and all are owners "of real estate and would favor only proper and equitable taxes and would, in our judgment, administer tbe affairs of the' county to tho full satisfaction of all classes of onr citizens, being men of good execu tive ability and judgment. We have every reason to believe that these gentle men would be willing to serve our people in this capacity. Citizen. A Mow UN tor Cane.

LAWTON REPLIES j To«k* Bettor of Got. Brower, and Re. views flhe Salient Votnts ot She Gov- eMoPn trlhdwn — Haw Hte Name Came to he Presented—Gov. Brown' Reconstruction Record Looked In T&lWiaib* request i . ~ . MTi. Aiar, October J, 1880.—Editors Constitution: There appears in your pa per of the 29tl> ultimo a letter of three columns from Gov. Brown, in which appeals to the people of Georgia against the wrongs which, he alleges, 1 have en deavored to inflict on him. He savs that I am “engaged in an active canvass of the State as a candidate * 'against b& for the United States Senate, when oar Legislature convenes.” I beg the courte sy ot your columns for a briel notice df this and other statements in'that letter. It is not true that I have been ■ engaged n an “active canvass for the, U nil*1 States Senate.” I nave made speeches ip several places in advocacy ot Mr. N#- wood’s election. The appointment of Governor Brown and the fitness and {pro priety of that appo’ntment had been made by Governor Colquitt’s supporters a dis tinct and an important issue in the guber natorial canvass. I did therefore discuss that question in plain and decided terms I spoke simply as a citizen of Georgia, having tho right to criticise the political character of men holding or seeking pub lic office. A writer in the Atlanta Con stitution, anonymous but well known, was tne first to bring me before the public os a candidate for the high office of Senator; while assailing me with tho charge that I was “abusing” Governor Brown, because he stood ia the way of my ambition. Up to that time I hod made no mention of myself in connection with .Senatorial hon ors, or in any otner connection whatever with public otnre. I had never made any announcement, either by speech or iu print, of my intention to place my name before the constitutional electors for United States Senator; nor had I ever au thorized arid one oi«e to do so, though frequently urged by part ial friends to take ti»t step. Not long after tbe appearance of the article above referred to, a large public meeting of citizens, in Savannah called by the organized * Democracy of Chatham county, without a dissenting voice, presented my name to tbe incoming Legislature of Geoigja for the United States Senate. With this presentation hyjny own community, following close upon, tlie attack by the anonymous writer, I lelt au thorized to say, at the conclusion of my speech made afterwards, that my name would he brought before the. Legislature in conneetiori' with that high office. But 1 have not in any wav, nor at any time, discussed my own fitness for the office am content to leave that to the electors It is true that I have attempted to give tlie reasons, drawn from his public and politi cal acts, why Governor Brown was not a fit anu proper representative of the people of Georgia in the Senate. But I utterly deny that I have ever “abused” him or discussed harshly his private, business, so cial or religious life, qualities or relations. but on the contrary have distinctly an nounced that I would not do so cither in his case or that of Governor Colquitt, Neither have I ever used the expression “arch-traitor” in reference to Governor Brown in any of my speeches, nor have I seen it in any report of them. Such lan guage is not to my taste in discussions of this character. Governor Brown will excuse mo if I do not accept his Invitation to'enter into newspaper discussion of our relative mer its or fitness for the discharge of the du ties of Senator; and especially, whetiier I have “that sort of tact, common sense and talent which will make my efforts a suc cess in behalf of our people.” The people aud the electors must acquire their infor mation some other way than by hearing my own opinion of myself. Nor do I acknowledge Governor Brown’s right to claim from me answers through the public prints to the very nu merous questions contained in his letter. Nor will I, for the purpose of securing fa vor, make any promises which I have no intelligent hope of being able to peiform If I am not sufficiently established in the confidence of the people of Georgia for them to feel assured that whatever tal ents, attainments, energy or character may have, will be devoted, under all cir cumstances of trial and temptation, to the promotion of their best interests in any position to which I may be called, a mere vaunting declaration on my part to that effect would not convince them. Let me not be misunderstood. I ac knowledge the right of the people and the electors to know the views and opinions of all public men, holding or expecting of fice from them. And I stand ready at any time, at their request, to comply with the time-honored custom—meet them face to face, and to the best of my ability address them on matters of public concern. A very large portion of Gov. Brown's letter is devoted to his own political rec ord since the close of the war. I will not follow him, a3 the whole subject lias been ■fully discussed on both sides in docu ments which have recently flooded the State. He claims, with great emphasis and earnestness, that he was right during the terrible period of “reconstruction”— in assisting to elect Gen. Grant in 186S— in putting upon the people of Georgia the Administration of Gov. Bullock—in insist ing that we should promptly accept all the terms imposed upon ns by the conqueror and do whatever he ordered us to do, and that quickly. If he is right, in this claim, then all the true and loyal people of the {South were wrong. They were wrong in cherishing the sentiment which then ani mated them—that it was better far to suf fer and endure fora season, than promptly to cast reproach upon the memo ries of those who had fallen ia our cause. What would the world become, if the weaker never re sisted the stronger? Are- we prepared to deny that there are times in the history of a nation, as well as of the individual, when in contending for the right it Is-bet ter far to try and fail than not to try at all? Would our present position liaiSs been as good as it now is if all had fol lowed the example of Goveniot Brown, which he set3 before us with such compla cency? It is indeed quite certain that we would not have claimed the respect of our enemies, and of the world, which we now so proudly enjoy, if we had not re sisted and endured so long all the threats of angry power, and held together as onq man, in our poverty and suffering. Tlie passive, united aud persistent struggle of the Southern people after the close of the war was no less honorable aud praisewor thy than their heroism while it lasted, If this be not so, if I am mistakeu as if the patriotic sentiments of Iio'r people, ; then indeed is Governor Brown a proper representative of the sovereignty of Geor gia in tlie Congress of States? A considerable portiir.of Gov. Brown’s latter ia devoted to an issue which is im material, inasmuch as his speeches were published under his own eye—i. e., wheth er or not I was in Washington and iicanj them delivered. ' I am sorry tohave given him. the trouble to prove that my state ment, as reported, was incorrect. I spoke in Augusta on Friday night, aud left ear ly the next morning. But the whole mat ter is set at rest by the following note, written by myself at'the earliest possible moment, and clipped from the Augiuta Evening News of tne same day on wludi Gov. Brown’s letter appeared: ‘Mt. Airy, Ga., Sept. 27, 1880.—Edit ors Evening News: I have just received your paper of Saturday evening, with the very flattering report of my speeeh in Au gusta on Friday night. While tlie report is unusually accurate for an ‘outline,’ in almost every matter of Importance, it is not surprising that where there was no conference between the speaker and re porter, there should have crept into it some errors, which I beg you to correct. In referring to Governor Brown’s speeches in the Senate I am reported as saying: ‘I was in Washington at the time and heard the Speeches,’ whereas, what I did say was that *1 know tbe facts and the results at tending those speeches, and it is only nec essary,’ etc. I was not in Washington at tbe time, and did not bear the speeches, and of course did not say so. “Again I am reported as saying, * Tbe bill had passed before Brown took bis seat.’ This is not the fact. What I did say was, in substance: ‘The bill had pass- ed the House and through the proper com- The minionanes are _ routes of Urn Senate, and Its pamaga in withtbi*state«f affairs- 1 HjTjT that form through the Senate was an as hrspSSi!^ Crown made “ You will pardon me for being thus particular about the statement of faci^ but I think no public speaker should he careless about them. ^ . ... "A* K - Lawton.” This note disposes also of another error m the “report” of my speech which, I re gret to see, occupied a portion of Governor Brown’s valuable time. 0r I have endeavored to discuss such por tions of this letter as appeared to require my notice, with perfect candor and cour- , an< ^ to avoid entirely the use of -harsh words” or harsh language. But it contains one allusion which I roust char acterize as uncalled for and unworthy. Pf 0 '™* 3 eminently conversant with also a professional man, and has hekl a seat on the bench of the {supreme Court of Georgia. He knows full well that my relations to the Central railroad are only such as would be readi ly accepted by any lawyer of the highest character in tbe State, and that such ac ceptance would not render him less wor thy of trusts from the people. He is, therefore, without excuse for his insinua tions, and I cannot respect the motive which induced him to drag into this dis cussion a corporation with which he has such intimate business relations, and which has maintained a strict reserve in regard to anything which might affect this canvass, or work injury- to him. I forbear to make further comment. But there is one thing more. Governor Brown lias probably given the impression that a dispatch sent lum by me on June 14tb, was intended to ask a special favor for myself or some friend, or toseek through his influence over them to control the action of certain other senators. It is proper therefore to explain that I had been applied to by a committee of gentle men in Baltimore, interested In a question as general as jthe tariff on imported sugars, to furnish them with letters to some of the representatives from Georgia wliile the bill wa3 in the House. I had sent those letters. Very unexpectedly to me, a dispatch came requesting me to put them promptly in communication with Senators of my acquaintance, as the mat ter might bo brought up by amendment in that body. I thought courtesy dictat ed that my dispatch should be addressed to a senator from Georgia. I, therefor o sent it to Governor Brown, as I would have done to any one else who chanced to hold the position, of Senator from my State, and named in it several Senators with whom I had special personal ac quaintance. I kept no copy, but presume he has correctly slated that I desired to enlist Messrs. Hill, Bayard, Jones, Hamp ton and Ransom.- I-»supposed that ho would do so by simply showing them the dispatch. Governor Brown replied that it was too late in the session to accomplish anything. I have finished. To have taken no no tice of Governor Brown’s letter might have seemed not quite courteous. To no tice it at all, I could not say less than I have done. ' • A. R. Lawton. C UF1D AT WORK AGAIN. Mercer and the Wesleyan Join Hands. It is seldom a reporter is called upon to record in one issue two such unions as appears in this, and our Jenkins feels himself specially fortunate at being thus called into requisition upon a day when all the world, it seems, was struggling at the polls. But fortune does smile even upon a reporter occasionally. Yesterday afternoon there arrived at the Brown House Mr. James A. Ether idge, of Eatonton, accompanied by his love ly bride. This lady was formerly well known in Macon as Miss Eugenia Munner- lyn, a sister of Mrs. I. B. English. She is a graduate of Wesleyan Female Col lege, where she distinguished herself, both as a finished scholar and accomplished vocalist. Mr. Etheridge 13 one of Eatonton’s most progressive aud popular young men, and not unknown in Macon, having graduated at Mercer, sharing the first honor. He is a handsome and companionable young man, and a great favorite among his friends. This, we believe, is the first instance in which Mercer and the Wesleyan, since the former’s removal to Macon, have united hands and hearts, and offering congratu lations all around, it may not be out of place to say, that for this, also, and not education alone, are we colleges. Hymeneal. Last evening, at the residence of Mrs. Jessie Bradford, a small party of friends and relatives assembled to witness the roamage of Mr. E. A. Isaacs, of Macon, and Miss Jessie Bradford, of our city. Rev. A. M. Wynn officiated. The attendants were Ed L. Brown and Miss Isaacs, Goo. F. Isaacs aud Miss Lila Bivins. The bride was elegantly attired, and as pretty as ever. She wore organdy, trimmed in Languedoc lace, satin ribbons, orange blossoms and lace, illusion veil, diamonds. Among the strangers present were Miss R. Isaacs, Ed L. Brown, Joe Waxelbaum, Geo. F. Isaacs and Alex Block. _ After the ceremony the party were in vited to an elegant supper, and amid the popping of champagne the happy pair were wished all possible success. Mr. and Mrs. Isaacs leave on Thursday for Macon, tlieir future home. May their life he as bright as the noon day sun, and prosperity act as their chief attendant. For kind remembrances we return our thanks. We clip the above from the Colnmbns Enquirer. It will be scanned with inter est by a large circle of the groom’s friends in this city. Ed Isaacs is one of the most popular of our young business men. En- ergetie and straightforward, possessing fine address and business tact, he has made for himself a reputation which will be his fortune. We congratulate tbe happy couple upon this the attainment of their happiness, and trust that fate may throw no obstacles in their path through life, and that there shall bo only enough shadows upon it to make the sunlight beautiful.
