BahneSVTLLe Gazelle: Last Monday
night, in Thomaston, Mr. J. C. Zorn and
Mr. M. B. Walker compromised one of
the celebrated Walker cases. It was the
case of John C. Zom vs. M. B. Walker-
ejectment. The .case was tried in Upson
Superior Court in 1S74, and ^O^umeu
one week of tlw j our t,> 8 ti me< ^he jury
rendered a verdict in favorof Mr. Walker.
A motion for a new trial was made and
granted. At last November term of the
court it was again tried and ten
days of the court’s time
were consumed, the jury making a
mistrial. The board bill of the jury at
this trial was one hundred and thirty-one
dollars. The place in controversy is
known as the Grant place, and the com
promise gives Mr. Zorn possession of the
place and Mr. Walker gets a pecuniary
consideration. Mr. Walker had also be
gun a suit against Mr. Zorn for $10,000
damages growing out of an injunction
brought by Mr. Zorn. This case is also
included in the compromise, and the
county rejoices in the saving of great ex
pense by the compromise. Mr. Zorn
passed through Baroesville Tuesday morn

Buena Vista Argus; Last Friday a
serious accident happened at one of the
farm, houses on Mr. J. A. Shepherd’s
plantation, near Tazewell. Mr. and Mrs.
Shepherd had visited the house to see a
sick child and administered to its wants.
They left the house and yard just when
no one was preseut except tbe sick child
and another small one. When they had
gone a short distance they heard a shrill
scream iu the house which they had just
jeft. Hastening back, they found that tbe
clothes of the well child had caught fire
and it had got on the bed with tbe sick
child, and had communicated the fire to
the bedding. Mr. Shepherd's little'son
dragged the burning child from tbe bed
and tore Us clothes off before any serious
damage could be done, while the others
extinguished the bedding. That is a noble
and brave little boy.

Oglethorpe Echo: A gentleman re
marked to us the other day, that the li
quor war was not against the bar-keepers
in tbe towns of this county, but against
the country liquor shops. He said that
while some of them were conducted in a
proper manner, others were a source of
constant annoyance to neighboring plan
ters. Hands would not only steal pro
duce and trade for liquor at night, but
they wonid get drunk and be utterly un
fit tor labor next day. They demoralized
the country for miles around, and render
ed the neighborhood a peifo .t pandemo

men in tbe community who sold liquor
regularly without a license; but they
were a less nuisance than those who did
so under sanction of law, for they had to
be more cautious. ,

Atlanta Constitution: Yesterday
morning, at five o’clo dr, the building at

room for wheat, fell with a fearful crash.
All day Wednesday workmen were en
gaged iu removing the wheat, and were
so engaged yesterday. It is fortunate
that the building fell during the night,
else some one would have been seriously
injured. The cause of the fall was the
weakeaed condition of the building from
having had one side blown off in the ex
plosion, and the removal of a quantity of
wheat, added to the beavy rain of
Wednesday night.

Gainesville Eagle: We have recently
talked with a number of the best inform
ed farmers, and tlie weight of opinion is,
that this year’s crops, taking them alto
gether, will prove as profitable as any pro
duced for several years. If cotton should
continue to rule at something like ten
cents, we are satisfied the dose of the
year will find our farmers, os a 'class, in
much better condition than they have
been at any time since tbe war. One of
the surest signs of this prosperity is seen
in the advance of tbe price of lands.
Farms that could have been bought a few
years ago at four or flve dollar* per acre,
cannot now be purdiased for less than
eight to twelve dollars, and these are five
buyers to one seller.
Pebby Home-Journal: Tbe first steam

by Mr. A. K. Fisiaer, of this county,

long, 30 feet wide, will carry 450 hakes of
cotton, and draws only three feet of wa
ter. Tbe launching wm witnessed by a
crowd of about 100, and some of tbe la
dies expected it to cleave the water so
that the bottom of the river could be
seen, but it glided in beautifully, and

machinery will be put in immediately,
and then Mr. Fisher will take a trip down
the river with the boat, probably to Savan

Last evening about seven-o’clock as two
young ladies, residing oa New Houston
street near Barnard, were returning
home, they were stopped by two negro
men when near the corner of Whitaker.
One of the scoundrels grabbed the young
lady nearest to him by the arm, while
tbe ether attempted to seize her compan
ion. They screamed for assistance and
were fortunately heard by some parties
in a bouse near by, who rushed out to
their rescue, when the villains, becoming
frightened, precipitately fled, and it is te
be regretted, succeeded in making their
escape. The young ladies were greatly
prostrated by nervousness, the result cf
tbe fright. Great indignation was «o-
casiaoed in the neighborhood by the re

J. W. Rldpath, Apothecary;
Deab Sib—In answer to your questions
relative to my experience with Simmon’s
Liver Regulator and its. effect upon my
horses, I take pleasure in saying that
when my horses were sick with what is

Regulator (liquid! in one-ounce doses
mixed with the deed twice a day. They
■all recovered, and speedily. At the pres-
•enl time my boeteswee all suffering from

symptoms, by coughing, I began giving
Simmons’ Liver Keguiator as before. This
bone is now well. Tbe other five were
euccessively taken -aide in the same man
ner—coughing, runmag at the nose, loas
of appetite, eta; but .thanks to a persistent
sue of the Regulator, they are all improv

daily trips of 20 miles all the time, requir

next fouryears will .be Republican in
speech, purpose and action. The Repub
lican President will apparently have at
his back a Republican Congress. What
they will they can do with the Southern
States and their people. We hope and
believe, however, that the business inter
ests, which were the mainspring of Tues
day’s work, will be opposed utterly to any
legislation that would in auy way em
barrass tbe agriculture and manufactures,'
trade and commerce, of the South. It is
to the interest of the North and West to
take this position. They will do it when
ever and as soon as the people of tbe
Southern States cease to occupy the posi
tion of would-be autocrats of the Union
that they did their utmost to destroy.
When this spectre. of Southern
supremacy has been laid the
Northern people will be freer
to exhibit their kindly and interested
feelings, and one of the first questions
that tbe Southern whites will have to ask
themselves is, whether the welfare of the
South is likely to be hindered oradvanced
by an alliance with the Democrats of the
North. It does not hurt those gentry to
be beaten. They are sure to have just and
equal government in any event. Not so
with the' South. In losing politically, tbe
loses in pocket and in peace of mind.

WiM the South remain on the losingside?
and, if so, on what terms and for what
purpose? Southern people, we fancy, will
make themselves beard ou this subject
before winter is past.”
Augusta, Ga., November 4.—The
Chronicle and Constitutionalist says, in
reference to the election: “The South at
least has the satisfaction of knowing that
•be kept her part ofthe bargain, and if
the ‘hero of Gettysbure’ is not President,
at is not her fault. We think, too, that
she has for the iast time been led, lamb
like, to the slaughter. Her experiments
'with loyal civilians and military heroes
have not been propitious in the
past, and tbe future holds out no hopes
iu that -direction. What she will
-da in the future, time must dis
close. Much depends upon how much
gsia the Republicans have made iu the
Beaate and House and what their policy
wilt be towards this section. The South
wail be kept reasonably solid for her own,
protection and lor the purpose of preserv
ing the balance of power after tlie next
apportionment when the political domain
shifts from East to West. Tbe tre
mendous problem now controntiug the
two parties of all sections is: wifi
tbe .administration of Mr. Garfield be, in
case of a control of Congress, modelled
upon that of Hayes, or dictated by Grant
and Goskling, with Zachariah Chandler's
spirit as inspiring goblin. Until we
know'the exact nature of this administra
tion, we remain in abeyance. Meanwhile
we may'as well prepare for.tbe worst but
hope for the best.
Montgomery, Ala., November 5.—
The Montgomery Advertiser says: “The

London, November 4.—In its com
ments on the presidential election, the
Daily Telegraph says: “The success of
the Republican candidate presages not
only a coutinuationbnt further extension of
that prosperity which set in two years ago
upon the other side of the Atlantic, and
the influence of which is largely felt by
these Islands within their own confines
and also throughout the rest of Europe.
The probability is that the next struggle
for power wlll;be between the united free
traders ot the South and West on the one
hand, agaiust Eastern protectionists upon
tlie other. In the opinion of far-sighted
men, upon both sides ofthe Atlantic, it Is
impossible for tlut momentous issue to be
much longer delayed.
London, November 4.—The Manches
ter Guardian, a most influential repre
sentative of tlie provincial press, coincides
with the London papers in congratulating
botu parties on the decisive result of the-
election, leaving no opening for dispute.
It says: There seems to be no reason why,
if the Democrats do not change
their tactics, the -Republicans should
not hold office for another twenty years.
Probably the former would- <k> well to let
the question of Stats rights drop as ft r as
possible.into obscurity. It behooves them
to find another •rallying cry. This may
eventually be furnished by “free trade,”
which a succession of bad harvests or grad
ual exhaustion of tbe soil may bring into
the range of practical politics. There is no
possibility of a modification of the tariff
for at least four years. There is, however,
some consolation for this in the fact that
overpower and sweep from American arch
ives by the interchanging of sociability.
It is a political bugaboo, with retereuee to

Hr. English Talks.
LndiANAPOLIS, November 5.—In an In*
terview with the bally JVetos,reported this
morning, Hon. W. H. English talked free*
ly about the election and its results. He
thinks Indiana held up remaikably well,
considering the defeat in October and
that they have had a majority in the State
only since 1872, and then less than 1,200
for Hendricks for governor. Personally,
he feels no chagrin at the result, while
feeling the honor of the unanimous
nomination. The vice-presidency, with
its influence and patronage, had no
charms for him, and he feels rather glad
to be left to lead a more congenial and
profitable life. The~Democracy, with a
Democratic Senate, a close House- of Rep
resentatives, and the presidency decided
by a small majority in a single State, will
not die. Tb.e real cause of Republican
success was prosperous times aud business
satisfaction. The country thought It wis
est to let well enough alone. Lack of
harmony in New York, the October elec
tion in Indiana and some other things
may have had a little weight, but the
main thing was business prosperity and a
disposition to let well enough alone. Mr.
English bewailed corruption in party pol
itics as Tery different from the state of
things forty years ago,' when he first en
tered political life.

At the close of a lecture lately, Lord
Monteagle, a young peer, said that so far
as his own feelings went he should be
giad if the House of Lords were abolished
to-morrow. Tbe Upper House, lie said,
had no power except that of vetoing the
measures passed by the Lower Chamber,
and was continually being reminded that
it was dangerous to exercise that power.
He felt that there was neither great honor
nor great dignity in belonging to a nouse
which was thus constituted, and for his-
own part be should prefer to have the-
privilege of being returned as one of the-
peopie’s representatives to the House of
Commons. The first Lord Monies'll.,
Mr. Spring-Rice, was a clever Limerick
squire, who became chancellor of the
exchequer in England, and further en
joyed for many years a valuable sinecure
office. He is credited with the dictum
that “you should so humbug a humbug
that lie thinks he is humbugging a hum
bug,” and is said to have perfectly sue-
eeded in practising what he preached. s
Public speakers and lecturers can use
their voice continuously and with safety
by taking small or alterative doses of Dr-
Bull’s Cough Syrup.
A Flag of Truce.—Gen. Gordon, in'
an account of the scenes connected with
the surrender of Lee’s army, gave an'
amusing instance of the undress condition'
in which soldiers in the field sometimes-
find themselves. Gen. Gordon had deter
mined to send a flag of truce to General
Sheridan, and for that purpose summoned
Mgjor Hunter, of his staff, and told him
to carry a flag of truce forward. He re
plied, “General, I have no flag of truce.”
Tiro General told him to get one.
Be replied, “General we have no flag of
truce in oar command.”
“Then take your handkerchief and pat
it on a stick: und go forward.”
“I have no'handkerchief, General.”
“Then borrow one and go forward with
it.”
“General, there is no handkerchief in
the staff.”
“Then, Major, use your shirt.”
“You see, General, that we all have-
on flannel shirts."
At last a man was found who had b
white shirt, of which the back and tail
were tom off; and, rigging that peace lid
emblem to a stick, tbe Major went toward
the enemy’s lines.
Bismabck’s Last Cioah.—Bismarck
onoo told a group of visitors the follow
ing : “Tbe value of a good cigar,” eaid he#
•‘is best understood when it istbe last yon
possess, and there is no chance of getting
another. At Koniggratz I had only one
cigar left in my pocket, which I carefully
guarded during the whole of the battle. I
painted in glowing colors, in my mind, tbe
happy hour In which I should enjoy it
after tba victory. But I had miscalcula
ted my chances. A poor dragoon lap
helpless with both arms crushed Murmur
ing for something to refresh him’. I felt
in my pockets and found I bad ouly goict,
and that w ould be of no use to him. But
•toy—I stili had my treasured cigar*. 1
lighted this for him and placed ft between
his teeth. You should have seen the poor
feliow’s grateful smile! I never enjoyed
a cigar so much as that one I did not
smoke.”
