On'Tuesday last, in the way of riotous

Tee Sparta lahmaelite has the follow
ing:
As many safeguards as possible ought to
be thrown around tbe ballot box. In a
government like that of Georgia with at
most ail tho officers of responsibility elec
tive, too much stress cannot be laid on
tbe necessity of maintaining the purity of
the ballot box. There is a law in Geor
gia which makes tbe payment of a yearly
poll tax a requisite to tbe legal exercise
of the right of suffrage. In the two re
cent elections in this State, so far at least
as this county is concerned, this requre-
nient of law has not been generally In
sisted upon. Tbe time has come to call a
halt in this matter. We should be glad if
the Legislature would revise the election
tlon laws, aud Increase the penalty for il
legal voting. It ought to be a penitentiary
offense to sell a vote. It ought not to be
less ot an offense to buy one. In tbe line
of a general refomiaiion in tbe matter of
voting, there ought to be a registration
law in the State, of general application.
The tax collectors of the different coun
ties could readily and efficiently discharge
the duties of registration officers. The
payment of all the taxes required by a vo
ter should bo a prerequisite to his registra
tion. It seems that tbe passage of such a
law as this would contribute to the purity
of elections in tbe State.
Sumter Republican: We learn from Mr.
W. F. Marsh, of Dooly county, that a
negro mau was accidentally killed by a
colored woman on last Friday. The
woman picked up an old pistol that bad
been lying around the house for several
months, and pointing it at her brother-in-
law, Dave Lester, said, ‘‘I’ll shoot you.”
‘‘Shoot away,” said he, turning the siJeof
his head to the muzzle of the weapon.
She pulled the trigger, and “bang” went
tbe ball into bis bead, sending bis soul
into tbe “happy land of Canaan” before
he knew he was dead. No one knew that
the pistol was loaded, or that it would
shoot If it were; so the coroner rendered a
verdict of accidental killing:
Augusta News: A young drug clerk
at Munnerlyn recently mistook a bottle of
morphine for a bottle of quinine and pre
pared bis prescription accordingly. The
medicine was given to two children and
resulted In the death of one and tbe nar

course is deeply regretted, but shows what
extreme care is necessary in preparing
prescriptions.
Albany News and Advertiser: From
Capt. Taylor, conductor on tbe B. and A.
railroad, we learned last night that a ne
gro was run over and killed by a lumber
tram at Ty-Ty yesterday. Tbe unfortu
nate man was under tbe Influence of liq
uor, and was lying on tbe warehouse plat
form. As tbe train approached ho aroused
from bis stupor and jumped down on tbe
track immediately ahead of the locomo
tive. The engineer did not have *ime to
stop bis train,"and tbe negro was caught
under tbe wheels aud instantly killed.
No blame can be attached to tbe engineer.
We were unable to learn the name of the
unfortunate negro.
Warbenton Clipper: It is thought
Hon. Evan P. Howell, of tbe Atlanta
Constitution, will be tbe next Governor
of Geoigia, and if tbe success of tbe Con

be has tbe most brilliant record before
him. Wo confess, however, that we are
inclined to predict that Colonel Estlll, of
the Savannah Newt, will be called upon
to accept the next candidacy for the Exec
utive chair. The country press will lean
very strongly towards Colonel Estlll on
account of bis relationship to them in tbe
press convention, with which be is a great
favorite.

^ATLANTA Post: Meeting ex-Chief
Justice Hiram Warner, who reached this

Post-Appeal interviewed him upon I lie
subject of tbe rumor now in circulation,
to tbe effect that he had consented to act
as arbitrator in an important case in

“Judge,” said tbe reporter, “I learn
that you are about to set up a sort of
Supreme Court of your own in Atlanta, is
it so ?”
- rner, iaugbi
which to hear the argument aud try the
case?”
» “Not at all. I don’t care to hear any
arguments. All that I want is for the
parties to give me the facts, and I will de
cide the case impartially and according to
law.”,
“What sort of a ease is itinquired the
pencil propeller.
“It is only a simple suit brought to in
vestigate tbe validity of a. claim on some
solvent property. Tai see since those
fellows robbed me while I was going out
to see the races during the fair, I have
come to tbe conclusion that I have to do
something to get even.”
“How much did the pickpockets relieve
you of?” ‘ ' •
“About four hundred dollars. It hap
pened in this way: I managed to get into
a crowd, aud while men wer3 shoving me
first one way and then another; pushing
and pulling ine about, one of those fellows
ran his band into my pants pocket and,
securing my pocketbook, made off with
it.”
Judge Warner appears to he enjoying
fine health, and last evening was contin
ually the center of many admirers of this
good old piliar of the law.

Gwinnett Uerald: Track-laying is
progressing finely on our railroad. With
ail the efforts that could be made by the
tie committee of the Board of Directors,
we still lack about eight thousand ties to
complete the line. The company has put
on a force of twenty-five hands, under the
supervision of W. J. Born, and they are
getting out a large number daily. This
force will be able to supply ties as fast as
they arc needed.
Tbe weather last week was unfavorable
for railroad work, but this week promises
to be more favorable, and Mr. Leming,
the boss of the track force, expects to
reacii Peachtree road this week.

Brunswick Appeal: There is no spot
on earth more lovely, more bealtbrul,
richer in soil, climate and water, than
Cumberland Island.
There are twenty-one thousand acres of
land, sixteen thousand miles of tbe finest
beach on tbe Atlantic coast, hammock
lands that produce 1,200 cabbage;, or 90
bushels of corn, or GOO bushels of pota
toes, or 100 bushels of oats to tbe acre.
Tbe oranges arc as fine and abundant as
tbe best grown, bananas fiounsb, cattle,
sheep, goats, deer and tbe wild tackle
pony revel in tbe bountiful pasturage.
There are fine running springs of purest
water on every side, abundant fish, oys
ters, turtle ducks, etc. Cumberland is
naturally tbe finest year-round resort in
the world. It equals any point in Florida
as a winter resort, and any point in tbe
North as a summer resort.

Augusta Chronicle: We learn from
private sources that the survey of tbe river
between Augusta and Savannah has been
satisfactorily completed by our young
townsman, J. P. McLaws. There is no
engineering difficulty in so improving the
river as to have five feet water all the way
from Savannah to this city at tbe lowest
stage of tbe river. We also learn that the
work on tbe river above Augusta will
soon be cummeaoed—should our Congress
men succeed in obtaining the necessary
appropriations. The engineers are satis
fied that a narrow channel of ninety feet,
with sufficient depth of water for light
draught steamers, can be made at a very
reasonable cost.

tbe additional fact that there were bids

Albany Neu>a and Advertiser; The

Tbe majority favored settlement in tbe

marriage, she was as well as usual, but on
Friday sbe became suddenly worse and,
rapidly declining, on Saturday morning at

THE BIBB COCSl Y HOADS.
THE HAST ON TUE MONUMENT.
Hancock’s Defeat and tbe New South.
It was night again, when for tbe last
time I paused in front of the Confederate
monument and saw, dim and still above
me, tbe white semblance of a man, that
marble link which binds together the Old
South and the New. No limpid moon
light bathed the scene in solemn splendor,
and the gentle breeze, which wailed to me
the perfume of its latest wooing when last
I lingered round tho spot, had fallen
asleep upon the bosom of a vanished sum
mer, and was silent too. But as I stood
there, a keen, biting blast breathed upon
me, and a storm of leaves rattled around
my feet. I caught a handful from the
wind and crushed them in my grasp; they
were crisp and brown and gave me back a
sound of death.
“And these,” I muttered, “these, my
country, are thy hopes. Lo, in tho spring
we saw them budding, and as they
spread and bloomed, thy birds awoke and
wove among them songs of love and beau
ty. We beheld the golden morns and ro
seate eves flush them with a hundred
tints, and flowers beneath them .1ft their
open lips, and catch the diamond dew,
which gathered on them, flashed and fell.
And gazing on them thus, wo dreamed
they were immortal, a deathless chaplet
for thy brow; and thrilled, the South
arose and flew her banners from a thou
sand hills, and sped tbe cry, as Scotland’s
cross was sped, through all the land to
bid the people wake. Ah, vaiu the awa
kening! The sun came o’er the east and
saw—her flowers dead, her song birth
hushed, and o’er her breast a mantle, chili
and fatal, thrown. She trembled, bowed
her head, and hurling from her brow the
ruined chaplet, fell and shattered as it
struck. The glorious hopes are dead.”
One by one from out my grasp, tho
chill winds placked the resistless leaves,
and only the marble pile before mo re
mained. Upward as of old I gazed; my
eyes more fitted to the shades than first,
saw there the cold, stern, changeless, rigid
lineaments of a face that knew no life.
Calmly, coldly the marble gazed straigbt
out into tho night, into the past as it
must for days, months, years, nay, centu
ries, perhaps—silent—“bat it has spoken
and will again,” I thought. “Oh, no,”
did judgment whisper back to self, “the
lifeless marble cannot speak. You have
been dreaming, and in your reveries a
thought intense awoke and kit a shadow
on thy fancy which did language seem.
The stone will uever give thee answer,
nor ever has.
Sadly I turned away, yet came again
and stood, then turned and passed, aud
yet returned again to find tbe silence
mantling still the spot. There flashed
upon me legends of the pilgrims who
through tbe burning sands bad toiled and
knelt by Jfesnnon’a form to hear his voice,
and how worn out at last with fruitless,
watching they back had-crept across the
sands again, weak, worn and weary to
die. The night seemed like a desert
waste, and fascinated with the fate of
these deadancieHts, there on the base or
that still monument, I crouched aud
waited. There as I crouched, far off, far
off upon the borderland of dreams, 1
heard refrains, as thoughibeyond the vale. — M —

city did voioe tbe sounds tfeat floated faiot
and far beyead this mystic fond and made
ok echo In my soul. I dreamed tbe time
had come to speak the message I had

rose beneath that marble form and sang
uxto tbe measure I bad liessfi, words that
roae flashed to life unsought.
I ean but hid thee wait, O South,

A shudder seemed to flash through tbe

that oeemed stalled with blood- A dim

The Finest In Georgia—Wbat Willis
Wood la Doing.
It has long been said of Bibb county
roads, “They are the finest in Geoigia,”
and any one who takes the trouble to
make a comparison of our thoroughfares
with those of other counties will find the
assertion true. A Tennessean who pass
ed through here recently said he had been
everywhere, aud ours were the host dirt
roads he had ever seen. They were even
better than the macadamized, which re
quired a force upon them at all times
There is no doubt but that wc are In
debted in the first place to the adoption of
excellent system by which these roads
arc worked for the present state of af
fairs; but we are more indebted to Willis
Wood, tbe excellent superintendent, who
has so ably put into practice the system
adopted. ^
The public roads of Bibb county, which
the the chain gang have to keep iu order,
sumnpin length 171] miles; stretched
out in one line they would reach
within twenty-five miles of Savannah. To
work this vast stretch, the superindendent
has but six months In each year and a
force of convicts that varies from fifteen
to thirty-five in number, and'Some of them
women at that.
Iu addition to these county roads, he
has the thirty miles of streets of tbe city
to work during the remaining six months
in the yean streets which are alternately
ISO and 120 feet in width. Let us see
what has been done and why. Three
years ago Second street was worked over,
and a solid mass of clay put down from
end lo end. To-day it b the best street
In the city although it has not been touch
ed by a working force since. Third street,
Cherry street, Cotton avenue and Georgia
avenue, later, «-ere treated In like man-
ami are now model thoroughfares,
and bid fair to last ten years.
The Houston road has been made solid
to the county limits, graded, drained, and
heavy sewers put in, and the Yineville
road treated in the same manner. The
Clinton and Jeffersonville roads have also
been leveled aud bedded and, although
they were tbe gist roads worked this sea
son, are iu a good condition. Of course
there are points on all that have been
mentioned, where the immense amount of
travel and the rains have left their marks,
bnt as a whole the roads are in excellent
order.
The chain-gang have jtut completed
the Columbus road, save a few finishing
touches rendered necessary by the late
rains acting upon the new work. A-sur
vey and profile of thb road, which wc saw
yesterday, shows that tlta bed of Rock
Creek at Bailey’s mill is eighty-seven feet
below the level of the city limits beyond
Mercer, on the road mentioned. The
greatest variation from the level-on this
road b but thirty-five feet each way. At
Brown’s bouse, about two and a half
miles from the court house, the rise is
thirty-five feet, and at the third milepost
ihe depression b thirty-five feet. Bailey’s
residence near the creek is just nine feet
below tho first level mentioned. The
three mile post proves to be two hundred
feet beyond the proper point. Thb road
b fifteen miles long. Sewers have been
put in at all ^necessary points, and hills,
over which a few years ago two homes
could not have pulled one-fourth of
cord of wood, have been so cut and gra-
that the sajne power can draw up a cord
easily.
The advantage of these good roads b
reciprocal between merchants and farm
ers, and of great value to the latter in the
saving of stock and vehicles.
We understand that the commissioners
will ask that the force of workers be al
lowed two additional months upon the
county roads. We believe tbe city would
be gainer by ft. Trade increases with the
facilities for trading.

lowing,-which being complete and compre
hensive, we publish in fall. We, in com
mon with many others, shall await with
interest.
Atlanta, Ga., November 10, I860.
To the Editor and his Esteemed Assist
ants: 1 take thb method of putting you
njion notice that on or about the 20th ot
November, Messrs. D. Appleton & Co., of
New York, will issue, in book form
“Uncle Remus: His Sungs and Hb Sav
ings,” including “The Folk-Lore of the
Old Plantation,” profusely illustrated
from designs by Mr. Frederick S. Church
and Mr. James H. Moser. Would it be
asking too much, considering the well-
known freedom of the press, to beg yon
to warn your readers ot the impending
trouble ? Such of Uncle Remus’ legends
as have appeared in the columns of the
Constitution have been exceedingly popu
lar, but, apart from the interest thus
aroused, it has been my purpose in gath
ering the series !n book form, together
with tiie 1 plantation songs, to preserve a
phase of negro life and character whieb
would otherwise soon be forgotten—a
phase of equal interest to ethnologists and
to those who are in search merely of
quaint forms of humor. Thb shows dis
interestedness, but tiie book will be for
sale just the same as other books.
Would you object to mentioning some
of these farts in your columns t It may
happen that I will be able to reciprocate
some day. You may become unhealthy
enough to publish a book yoursell, and
whenever you are embarrassed in that
way, or whenever 1 can be of service to
you iu any way, tiie Constitution and all
its amendments are at your service.
Fraternally yours,
Joel C. Harris.
